L-onsz, C' Mano' pdlmer Tie'i's0f'l G'- nd End Back Bac-K Team Wayne was first scored upon in their game with Hartington High School, but they finished the game with a33 to 6 victory. Larry Hofeldt gained nearly half of Wayne's yardage. Wayne met a good team from South Sioux City and came out on the short end of the score, 26 to 7 in a razzle- dazzle game of football. It was the first defeat of the season. A wet turf Coach Macieiewski on the college field hampered both and Love. teams. Wayne won the west half of the Husker Conference when they defeated Wisner, 12 to 7g however, it was a costly victory because Larry Hofeldt broke his collarbone. He had previously run 68 yards for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage. Dick Longe did a good job of pass catching. In the last regularly scheduled game of the season, Wayne was de- feated by Plainview, 13 to 0. Fumbling and the loss of a couple of players on account of sickness hindered Wayne. In the play-off game Wayne was out for revenge, because Oakland had previously beaten Wayne two times. In this game Wayne looked good but was taken by surprise with a couple of screen passes and the score was 13 to 6 in favor of Oakland when the final whistle blew. Gordon Zapp, filling in for Hofeldt, did some good running at fullbackg and Gilbert Schmidt and Lowell Johnson looked good defensively. Larry Hofeldt, a sophomore back, made honorable mention for Class B in the World Herald selections. G- - . Sc ,K .T'1 L Guard ?,Baeel2 mv, LCei1?'l eQ e'l 'l'Y'hBH
