 Jays Show Strength In Downing Horton The Stfbetha line, which had been! weak in earlier games, showed up much better both offensively and defensively, and the running of Kenny Clifton and Jimmy Brown-’ lee waa the best since the Seneca Catholic game. Long runs by Brownlee set the stage for both Bluejay touchdowns. Penalties were numerous, each team being assessed a total of 75 yards, and one Sabetha touchdown was nulli- fied by a penalty. Jays Tie Tigers; Take Second Place Playing without the services of their fullback veteran. Kenny Clif- ton, and line stalwart John Ross, the Sabetha QJuejays came from behind to lead Effingham for most of the football game on the Sabetha gridiron Friday night. But- the Effingham Tigers tied up the ball game at 19-all with but four min- utes to go and that’s where the tussle ended. At that. Sabetha fans couldn’t be too unhappy. The Blue- Jays. by virtue of the tie. latched onto undisputed claim to second place in the Big Six league with three and a half wins to one and a half losses. Clifton and Ross were out of the lineup because of illness.

Such election ac- counts for the smiles on Kenny's and Jim's faces. Despite lack of weight and experience, the team threw many heavier elevens for a loss. Sometimes it took the halftime proverbial woodshed to topple them, however.
