Shamrocks Strong 2nd Half Brings 34-12 Win Over Walkerton Friday

North Liberty's Shamrocks macle it seven in a row and eight out of nine for the season Friday night as they used a strong second half to overcome a much inspired Walkerton Indian team 3412 The game was very close in the entire first half an I Walkerton had a tremendous edge in statistics as they controlled the ball most of the time but trailed 7-6 as the result of a pass interception that was returned for a touchdown. The third quarter found North Liberty using a passing attack and taking advantage of a couple of Walkerton fumbles to grab a commanding lead and control of the game. Walkerton Statist kxs N.

After Rick Trost had picked up eight yards in two carries into the line, Tom Klinedinst took the handoff and went inside of tackle and veered to his left and outran everyone on the field for a 79 yard touchdown jaunt. The try for the extra point was no good as a pass was intercepted, but the Indians he'd the 6-0 lead. North Liberty was unable to move the ball at all as the Sham, rocks only made two first downs in the entire half. one of those on a Walkerton penalty. The Indians continued to dominate play as the half progressed, but after marching down the field to the Shamrock 20, a pass was grabtied off by Steve Mlek<«daj on the Shamrock 15 as he ran the 85 yards down the left side line for the score. The extra point was good ns Clarence Fields ran the point and the Shamrocks had the lead they never lost The first half ended 7-6. but this was one of the cases where the score doesn’t tell the story The Indians had the ball most of the first half, and out rushed the ohamrocks about seven to one The second half was a different story. Th<- Shamrocks took the kickoff and returned it to their own 46 yard line After two running plays picked up a first down, a pass from Jim Hurt to Jim Lambert, put the ball <ieep in Wa’kerton territory One more running play netted a little and then Hurt hit Lambert with a 17 yard touchdown mss on a nice move by lambert at the goal line Hurt then passed the extra point to Ron Peterson after a penalty had set them back five yards this giving the Shamrocks a 14-6 lead After receiving the next kick, the Indians wen* unable to move against the much inspire,! Shamrock defense Th^v quickly kicked to the Shamrock 35 yard lino where the Shamrocks started another drive On three running plavs, the Shamrocks had a first •nd ten on their own 46 yard (Continued on page 16)

line. Hurt then faded back to pass, and Jim Lambert made a great running catch right with two Walkerton defenders and sprinted the rest of the way for a 51 yard touchdown play. This point was added and the lead was then 21-6. The Shamrocks continued to roll in this period as they recovered an Indian fumble on the 5 yard line aixi on the first play, Clarence Fields rambled straight ahead from his left halfback post for the score. This point was misse<! and the score stood 27-6, which it remained until well in the fourth quarter. Tom Klinedinst, the Indians’ big ground gainer and scorer all year, broke the ice again for the Indians in the last period as he rambled 71 yards for another long score He went through the right side and cut to his left once through the line and again outran everyone for the score. The extra point was missed and it was 2712. The Shamrocks were not through, however, as Miko Summerfield capped a drive with a 13 yard run for the final touchdown of the night. Hurt again passed for the point and it was 34-12, which ended as the final. In all. the game was hard played and again the Shamrock defense was probably the reason for the strong showing in the second half. The interception and return for the score was definitely the turning point in the game and inmiration needed by the Shamrocks to record their eighth win in nine games. It also proved to be the killer punch for Walkerton as it took some spirit out of a greatly inspired team that had played tremendous ball throughout the first half. The Ir hans end with a record of one win and eight losses, but the boys have played a lot of good ball thr >ughout the year They wet* vulnerable to many long plays which often changed the tide of ball games Scoring Walkerton: K lined inst. 79 yard run North Liberty: MlekodaJ, 85 yard run with intercepted pass; FAT Fields, run North Liberty: Limbert 17 yard pass from Hurt; PAT Peterson pa. s from Hurt North Liberty: lambert. 54 yard pass from Hurt; PAT Hughes, run North Liberty: Fields. 5 yard run Walkerton: Klinedinst, 71 yard run North Libertv Summerfield. 13 van! run: PAT.

Indiana Is Solid Democrat Sweep v A tremendous Democratic sweep highlighted the national, state and county election in Tuesday s r»*< o!<| vote as the j>c >ple of the I mted States returned Lyndon B. Johnson to office for another four years. He has presently served about one year, following the death of John F Kennedy. The defeat of Senator Barry M Goldwater by the Johnson landslide was so complete that only six states five from the deep south and Goldwaetr’s home state of Arizona, carried the Republican candidate. The vote total will give Johnson a complete victory of over 60 per cent of the popular vote, the largest margin of victory as well as the highest total of electorial votes in history This surpasses Franklin D. Roosevelt's win in 1936 which previously was the largest margin in these two phases. Caught in the Johnson land-lide were many other races where people either declined their privileges of splitting a ticket or didn’t care enough about it to do so. This sweep gave Indiana a Democratic sweep as Roger Branigin will be the next governor for the four year term. He topped Dn k Ristine, the current Lt G wernor. who headed the state R publican ticket Also triumphant in this vote landslide. w»s Vanre Hartke.
