North Liberty Drops Jimtown For 20th Successive Game Without Loss

North Liberty's Shamrocks rolled to their 20th game in succession without a defeat as they traveled to Jimtown for a rough and tough football game that found the Shamrocks coming out on top by a score of 33-6. This game got completely out of control of the officials and had several boys hurt because of the roughness plus a big free-for-all that found four boys, two from each team, being ejected from the game.

John Glenn Team Falls To Judson But Shows Marked Improvement

After a slow first half in which the John Glenn Falcons fell behind North Judson, 28-0, they begin to show the football that head coach Lou Kollias and his assistants aie giving to this young team. They battled back and ended up on the shoit end of a 35-12 score, but certainly proved they could move the ball in the second half. This left the Falcons winless in two games but they are learning more all the time as lack of experience is the number one problem fur the John Glenn team.
