The seven men up front for North Liberty were really playing the game hard and clean, consistently opening big holes in the Walkerton line for the backs to go through and on defense, they were in the Indian's backfield as much as the Walkerton halfbacks. From the opening quarter, there was little doubt about the outcome as the Shamrocks rolled almost at will whenever they had the ball. Walkerton received the opening kickoff as Mike Pearish returned from th«- 15 to the 29 yard line. Three downs later, and a penalty on each side, the Indians were faced with a fourth and 8 situation from their own 31 anti Terry Lute boomed a 35 yard punt and the Shamrocks took over first and ten on their own 34. Fannin started the game with a quaiterback sneak for two. then another run made it thin! and four from the 40 when Tun Hughes ran around tlie right side for 24 yards and a first down Jack Jackson then broke through for 26 and it was first and goal from the ten. After a two yard gain up the middle, Jackson ran the final eight yards almost untouched for the score with 4:38 gone in the game. The try for point was missed after a holding penalty pushed the Shamrocks back to the 17 for the attempt. It didn't taxe long after the kick until the Shamrocks had the ball again. After pearish returned to the 38 yard line. Tommy Klim - dinst picked up four yards, and a fumble on the second play gave the ball to the Shamrocks on the Walkerton 40. However, on fourth down from the 32, the Indians recovered a fumble to get possession again. The Indians had first and ten on their own 30 but on the second play, another fumble gave the hall to the Shamrocks on the Walkerton 27. On this set of downs, the Shamrocks moved to a first down on the 15. but a holding penalty and a long lo«e ort a pass play gave them fourth and 43 from the 48 yard line.
