Rare Field Goal Tops Shamrocks By 3-0 Score Many high school football players will go through a complete high school career and never ace a field goal kicked succssfully, but the North Liberty Shamrocks felt the string of such a scoring play Friday night and it resulted in the only score of the football game. Dan Shead’s 23 yard field goal, Just six seconds before halftime, resulted in a 3-0 win for the Rolling Prairie Bull Dogs Friday night, handling North Liberty their fifth loss in eight games to date.

Yards 27 2 Fumbles Lost 3 45 Penalties 10 Actually, the field goal is becoming a much more used weapon in football today and certainly will be more so in high school than it used tio be, with the heavy influence of the field goal m foolbail on television. This is a weapon that a tram reverts to anything they are inside the 40 or 45 yard line in pro ball. However, in college and high school, the goal posts set back another 10 yar .s, and field goal kicking isn’t as common. In recent years, it has become more common as teams are working mote on developing a kicker at high schools and colleges. This has become a big part of the college games and more and more in high school. There aren't to many yards out, but a combination of a scoreless tip, time running out and the closeness to the goal line made the Rolling Prairie choose to boot from just a very few yards further back than an extra point. The story of the game was defense. Neither team could get a sustained urive underway that carried all the way. The first half was basically even until that fateful kick by the sophomore Shcad. This seemed to put new life in the Bull Dog team. Moving into the second half, the Bull Dogs almost completely bottled up the Shamrocks with their strong defen.* 1 . Only 13 yards net gained on the ground was credited to the Shamrocks in the second half. For the sei end time in the past two we.-ks the pressure was on the Shamrock defense. Three times the offensive team fumbled the ball to Rolling Prairie and with a more successful effort on the ground, tile Bull Dogs continued to have more ball control than the Shamrocks were able to come up with again. The Shamrocks did a very creditable job holding Frame out of the end zone, but without offense*, the defense was hard pressed and of course without scoring, the loss was inevitable.

Time Situation Finds Confused Area Arrangement This Year

The time situation, which annually puts a boun ’ary line on one side of St. Joseph County or another between Central Daylight and Central Standard time, has added new complications this year. Walkerton and North Liberty always follow’ the decision of South Bend on their time problem and this year slow time has been the choice of South Bena. In conversation with Mayor Allen’s office Wednesday, the statement was made that: South Bend, as set forth by an act of the United States Congress in 1966, will turn back the clocks one hour on the last Sunday of October, therefore operating for six months on Central Standard Time. This of course is this Sunday morning with the official changing of the clocks at 2:00 am. This decision, which follows the designed pattern as set for Indiana, leaves quite a mess in the time line as this year many cities and towns took it upon themselves to set their times as the majority of the people saw fit. All of Marshall County has selected fast time an 1 this spills two school corporations, the Polk-Lincoln-Johnson School Corporation and the Union-North Corporation. Both School Boards have selected fast time to operate their school systems. This means that Walkerton and the School Corporation in which the town is liK’ated, will be one hour apart. The school corporation, at their meeting Tues ay night, made their decision to abide by the fast time due to the split and hardships placed on the families in the morning hours. North Liberty will have no local problems as the town and schools wall all be operating on Central Standard Time. Surrounding this area, everything to the west will be on slow time while everything to the east will be on fast time. Complications will arise for many who travel from one time zone to another for work as well as school functions, etc. that effect areas in the different time zones. Indiana has king been a split state on the time issue. For years one time or another has been set, but the various cities and geographic locations have ma ie their moves as they so desire. The problem has been that no enforcement of this law is available. It is about time for a change that Indiana operates on one time. Many sections have never felt this hardship, but in the area we live in, every year the problem looms for many people. If the state would force enforcement of this time problem through their state aid, or some other way which would make one time mandatory, it would be a welcome relief. The simple solution seems to be for one in the mixed up area, a watch on each arm. one on fast Trick Or Treat Ni^ht Monday In W^kerton Walter Heil, president of the Walkerton Town Council, has attain announced that a special "Trick Or Treat" night will be observed for Walkerton. On Mon 'ay October 30. from 6:30 to 9 (Ml p.m . the official Trick or Treat time will be observed. All parents are urged to contain trick or treating to this penod of Um for their children. The cooperation of sll on this makes this a much easier and more enjoyable situation ns well as safer time for the masked children to be making their rounds.

Ten Cents Per Copy

Knox Topples Glenn 34*20 Friday Night Knox's Redskins jumped to a quick lead Friday night and went on to win over Glenn High School 34-20. The game, played on the Knox field, was Glenn’s home game, and dropped the Falcons record to 0-7-1 for the season. Knox took advantage of an early break to move quickly ahead, and after falling behind, the Falcons again proved that they could move a ball and score some points. However the 16-0 margin Knox got in the first period, was more than the Falcons could catch as both team scored three times after that initial lead. Knox Statistics JG 8 First Downs 6 196 Rushing 64 13 Passing 1.54 9 Passes Att* 9 1 Passes Comp 14 1 Intercepted By 0 2 Fumbles Lost 1 30 Penalties 55 The game started on a back and forth basis. Knox twice gave possession to the Falcons before the first big break in the game occured. On a fourth down play in the first period the >nap from center sailed wildly and Jack Casteel, the Falcons punter, was downed in the end zone for a saftey and a 2-0 lead. Then things happened like wildfire. The following free kick was taken by Knox and put in play on the Falcon 23 yard line after a fine return. They moved in for the first touchdown of the night on just five plays with Bill McClure running the final four yards. Greg Rudd kicked the extra point and the lea J was quickly 9-0. Anothr big break followed on the next kickoff as a short kick was recovered by Knox and for the second straight time on offense, they had wonderful field position, taking over first and 10 on the Glenn 42 and Rudd ran right through the Glenn team for another fast TD. Again Rudd aided the point after and the score was 16-0 with coniderable time bft in the first period. The Falcons then put together their first march of the night with a total of nine plays and one penalty moving thi ball down field for the score. In the drive. DeMver completed five passes and Lirry Neiswender t inally took the ball ovi i from the 2 yard line.

After taking pi ssession on a punt, the Knox team began a march that covered 57 yards in four plays with a big 45 yard run b\ Rudd spearheading the attack. McClure again crashed into the en i zone, this tune from 5 yards out and knox’s third TD. The extra p >int failed and the score read 28-7. The second half was a different ball game. Knox intercepted two passes early in the half and one was turned into a score. Rudd passed to Roger Fawlick for the score with the play covering 20 yards. Again the point after was missed and Knox enjoyed a comfortable margin of 34-7. However, the Falcons weren't dead DeMyer came back with a TD pass of his own hitting Neiswender for 53 yards and a score and l iter Steve Ludwig ran the ball tn from the 3 yard hne (continued on back page)
