Literally torn apart by the Card de- fense, Lewistown, which was in its first yearof eleven-man football,was held to a total of 58 yards--never get- ting inside Central's 40 yard line on their own power. Bob Sarno skirts right end for an eight- yard gain against Rockford. ABath Town- ship back is about to be smeared by the two Card- inals coming up,Iim Evans a n d To m O'Connor.

DELPHOS SNAPE CENTRAL 'NIN STREAK Delphos, behind an awesome ground attack and a steel- like defense, shattered Central's hopes for an unbeaten sea- son. Central's vaunted offense was weakened by the loss of some key players, but it is doubtful that the Card's could have beaten Delphos with their spirit in the game seemingly lost. ROCKFORD BEATS CENTRAL 14 - 13, IN TITLE PLAYQFP Here it is! The title playoff the players had been waiting for all year. Rockford started out the scoring in the first period tallying on a 26yard run. The extra point try was good.

Rockford scored in the fourth quarter making it 14 - 7. Then,with 45 seconds remaining in in the game, Central Catholic completed a screen pass to Paul Schroeder who took it in from the 24 yard line.

CENTRAL CATHOLIC BLASTS H-N 54 - 12 Performing before a delighted Homecoming crowd , the Cards unleashed four fleet-footed backs who completely overshadowed anything Hardin Northern could put up-- with one exception, Jerry Iolliff. 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. Before the start of the game, Charlene Eversole was crowned Homecoming Queen and, along with her attend- ants, reigned during the game.
