Coach John Pfitsch talks to his Midland mon at the Hastings con- test, which the Broncos captured 6-0 in the last 40 seconds. Midland's mud war against Kear- ney in the Warriors' final game is watched by Stout, Lusche, Smith and Anderson. With 40 seconds left in the game, Hastings took a tie game and made it a 6-0 victory over the Indians. The heartbreaker was lost on an inter- cepted Midland pass and a bit of superbly exe- cuted dov nfield blocking. The Warriors battled their last game of the sea- son to a 0-0 stalemate with Kearney on home soil covered with snow and mud. The Chieftains out- charged and out-held the heavier visitor lino as they did against most of their seasonal opponents.

JOHNSON CROFOOT GILLEY The Warriors launched a 13-0 victory over the Bettiany Swedes ' with touchdowns by Bill Hunter and Deanie Anderson. The Chieftains' forward wall, sparked by Rich Clough, broke through repeated- ly to block five Bethany points. The Chieftains pulled a 6-6 draw with the Wayne Teachers on home soil when both teams scored in the second period. The Warriors won the game statistically but failed to make good in the air. The Midland gridders took their initial defeat from the favored Peru Bobcats in a 21-0 handout. The Bobcats displayed a powerful running attack that almost added two more tallies but the War- riors held them on the ten and 21. Bad passing and poor ball handling contributed to the Indian defeat. The Midland Redskins spun back in the fourth game of the season to hand out a 21-0 defeat to D. HILL HUNTER the weak York eleven. This marked the first War- rior N. C. C. victory of the year. Between touch- downs by Herman Smith and Deanie Anderson, the Warriors muffed five other tallies. Unable to cope with a strong Nebraska Wes- leyan attack. Midland's Warriors lost a 20-6 Home- coming game and all hope of bidding for the Ne- braska College Conference title. Unlike last year the Chadron Teachers issued a 25-0 decision over the hard fighting Warrior eleven. The Warriors commanded the game in the first period but three breaks in the second half gave the Eagles as many touchdowns. Although on the heavy end of the yardstick, the Orange and Black eleven did not have the final punch to drive out a touchdown against Morning- side. Several Warrior fumbles also decided the outcome of the 15-0 game. 97 LARSEN LUSCHE MARSHALL MATSON
