Indians Take Part In Speciacular Tuesday Walkerton High School will open their 1961 football season on Tuesday. September 1, by participating in a "Footbali-O-Rama” at Rolling Prairie. This event will feature four teams. Gary Andrea, a real power last year; Rolling Prairie, a very successful team for several years in this area: Greene, just starting their first year in football: and Walkerton. Tae time will be 7:30. The way the evening shapes up will be each team playing two quarters against two other teams. Season Play Starts Sept. 3 The first of nine scheduled games will begin on Thursday, September 3, as the Indians will meet North Liberty at School Field in South Bend. This game will match the two teams that ended the season at this same spot last year on a rainy, cold night when North Liberty was victorious by a three touchdown margin. Looking over the Walkerton team for 1961, a new backfield will be operating as the four starters most of the games were lost by graduation. Tae line, although losing several key men, has several returning veterans that look like they will prove pretty efficient in filling the vacancies. The team last year won three games while losing six. Head coach John Bingaman hag 35 boys out for the team this year and practice has been hard and closely contested at several spots. This team will face a schedule that is not easy by any means as North Judson will follow the Liberty game then Triton, River Forest, Bremen, Rolling Prairie, Jimtown. Knox and North Liberty. Also scheduled are three B Team games to date, two with North Liberty and one with Greene's varsity.
