Bridges’ injury seemed to spark the Quaker offense as they took a kickoff all the way down the field and Quarterback Strafford tallied from the one and then kicked the additional point. Plainfield took advantage of another break in the same period when Gilbert Brown fumbled the kickoff and the Quakers took over on their own 42. They eventually scored on a 22-yard lateral pass play with Hobbs getting the t.d. and the half ended 13 to 7 in favor of the host team. Hobbs, who was easily Plainfield's outstanding star, intercepted a Cub screen pass on the Greeneastle 40 and went the distance for a touchdown in the third quarter. In the fourth frame, Coccaine passed to Hobbs on a play that covered 20 yards for a t.d. Hobbs again kicked the extra point. The Cubs kept fighting and Bill Fobes passed to John Ray on a play that was good for 60 yards and a touchdown and that was the contest, 26 to 13, on the Plainfield side of the ledger. Friday evening, the Cubs will be host to the Linton aggregation in a Western Indiana Conference tilt that will start at 7:30. A 1956 Football Queen will be crowned between halves as a special added attraction.
