CENTRAL CATHOLIC, SHAWNEE TIE 13 - 13 In the first game the players from both teams showed a little rustiness in their run- ning of plays but not in their desire.

The All-Conference fullback scored all of H-N's points. The entire Cardinal forward wall displayed crunching offensive and defensive strength as did the reserves.
