Early in the first period, a beautiful punt by Gil- liland on his own 29, went out on the Sterling eight- yard line. The Plainsmen were forced to kick and Webster returned the ball to Sterling's 37-yard line. Hansen took a hand-off and went all the way to score. Gilliland passed to Schamel for the extra point and the lndians led 7-O. A few minutes later McCook scored again when Saladen went over from the 3-yard line. Poore kicked the extra point and McCook led l4-O. With four minutes left in the half, Saladen broke loose from his own 20 and went all the way for the third Indian score. Nelson threw the key block that cut him loose for the final 20 yards. Poore converted, and the half ended, 2l-O. With about five minutes left in the third period, Hansen scampered 48 yards for another McCook TD. Poore again converted and the lndians led, 28-O. Two minutes later Brumqardt of Sterling inter- cepted a McCook pass deep behind the Plainsmen's goal, but Nelson hit him before he could get out of the end zone. This added two more points to Mc- Cook's total on a safety. Score: McCook 30, Ster- ling O. The final score came just before the end of the third Quarter. Hansen ciallooed l7 yards to score the touchdown. The kick was no good. The fourth ouarter did not oroduce any scores and the game ended with McCook 36, Sterling O.

CHARLES HERRICK DUANE COX End Back McCook Indians-58 Lamar Antelopes-6 The McCook College Indians romped over the Lamar Antelopes 58-6 in McCook's annual homecom- ing game. The Indians caught fire at the opening kick-off and never let up until the final gun sounded. Indian backs galloped through the gaping holes furnished by the spirited linemen and piled up score after score. At the end of the first quarter the score was 33-O. Saladen scored twice, and Hart, Hansen, and Colling tallied once to account for the Indians' scoring. The Indians made only three of their points after touch- downs during this period. McCook scored only once in the second period to make the tally 40-O at halftime. Dale Carter scored on a 7-yard reverse. Lamar tightened up its defense in the second half of the game and held the Indian scoring to I8 points. The Indians piled up more yardage in the second half than in the first half. However, the Ante- lopes stopped the Indians just short of the goal line several times. Carter, Schamel, and Harrison carried the mail for the total scoring in the last half. The final score was McCook 58, Lamar 6. DON GREEN JIM MITCHELL Guard Guard 5 an-x.
