llll Wlllllllll ElllSUN The Odebolt Trojans whisked through the l95O nine-game schedule in a highly honorable fashion, dropping only two games, one to powerful Leeds High of Sioux City, and the other to revenge-hungry Sac City. The reserves saw considerable action in the first game of the year in which we downed Correctionville 35-O. The Trojans racked up their second conference win by rolling past Kingsley 24-7. The third game of the season, a conference game with Moville, turned out to be a thriller. Odebolt led l3-O at the half and seemed to dom- inate play-until the fourth quarter, when a pass interception and a fluke pass attempt left the Trojans with only a one-point lead and only seconds remaining. Moville desperately tried the middle of our line in a conversion attempt, but the line held solid. lt was Odebolt's game l3-l2. By tripping Ogden in the next encounter 7-O, we made it four straight wins, a well-deserved record for fans as well as for players. With seven seconds remaining in the game, a pass good for about 8 yards gave the Trojans the winning margin. The ball was water logged and the fans PAGE FORTY-TWO

drenched, but both kept moving toward that north goal. The Touchdown pass, Rex to Brower, was the only one attempted in the second half. Odebolt's l95O winning streak came to an abrupt end when a strong Leed's High School team administered a l9-7 setback. In the homecoming game against Manilla the Trojans fought their way to a 6-O half time lead and then opened up for three additional touch- downs in the second half to win to the tune of 24-O. Everything went wrong in the next game and Odebolt was handed its second defeat by Sac City 20-O. lt was definitely not the -Trojan's night, and never did we penetrate deeper into Sac territory than the l7 yard line. Wall Lake fell before the home team l9-6 at Odebolt in a weekday game on November l. We had ten days to prepare for the final encounter, with Holstein on Armistice Day. Holstein had had an open date on November 4, and had also spent extra time getting ready for our traditional battle, and so the fires were burning hot in both camps. Odebolt's defeat by Holstein could leave the conference title in a three-way tie, and we wanted no part of any such deal. After a scoreless first half, the Trojans conquered the respectable Holstein crew l3-O through sheer determination and courage. lt was a well deserved victory for a most deserving team.
