Playing on a cold wind-
swept gridiron last Friday
night at Nixon, the Flatonia
High School Bulldogs man-
aged a 12-7 victory over
the Nixon High School Bob-
cats in a district contest.
To open the game, Larry
DeWitt took the kickoff
and went to the Flatonia
37; three plays lost about
17, and DeW.itt punted out
of bounds on the Nixon 47;
Nixon made two firsts and
then Max Steinhauster halt-
ed the drive with a pass in-
terception and went to the
Flatonia 22; Hoffnmn, De-
Witt and Carr combined to
gain a Bulldog first down
on their 35; DeWitt had to
punt and he got away a
good one to the Nixon 20;
Cook recovered a fumble on
the Nixon 15 for a nice
break in the game; Carr
made two, and then DeWitt
lofted a pass to the left,
taken in by Mica at the
sideline about a yard and a
half from the Nixon goal.
DeWitt sneaked in for the
touchdown. The point try
went astray, but the Bull-
dogs led, 6-0, just as the
first quarter ended.
After an exchange of
punts in the second period,
Nixon got a drive started
from the Flatonia 44; two
first downs were good to
the' Flatonia 10; after a 1-
yard gain, Benavides broke
to the left and scored the
Bobcat touchdown. The try
for point was good and it
was Nixon 7, Flatonia 6.
Later, the Bulldogs pene-
trated Nixon’s 30,jcard line,
and then siost the nail on a
pass- interception on the
Nixon 17. Nixon had the
baP deep in its own terri-
tory as the half ended;'
The Flatonia Drill Squad
also braved the cold and
put on a good half-time dis-
play, as also Hid the Nixon
Band.
Folldwing a Flatonia punt
early in the third period,
and the holding of the Bob-
cats in check, the Bulldog
line blocked a punt to take
over on the Nixon S3; how-
ever, they failed to go, and
lost the ball on the Nixon
24; in turn, following twb
Nixon firsts, Flatonia took
over on downs on the Fla-
tonia 43; Nixon once again
had the ball near midfield
as the quarter ended.
Flatonia soon took over
on downs once more, but'
were unable to gain and
had to kick; ^Burger recov-
ered a fumble by NixonTon
the Nixon 23; after three
plays had netted little, a
field goal was tried by
Bauer with DeWitt holding,
but it was low; Nixon made
nothing in two plays; De-
Witt intercepted a pass on
the Nixon 39; here came
the climax play of the game
as Chrr broke through the
line and ran the 39 yards
for a totichdowm. Once
again, the point try failed,
but Flatonia had a 12-7
lead.
With the assistance of a
15 yard penalty and with
four minutes to go in the
game, Nixon passed good
for first on the Flatonia 23;
the Bobcats tried more
aerials, but lost the ball on
downs on the Flatonia 18;
the Bulldogs tried desper-
ately for a first down in
order to hold the ball, but
had to punt, to the Nixon
45; the combination of a
15-yard penalty, passer
thrown for loss of 6 by
Mica, and incomplete tosses
served to check Nixon, as
Flatonia took over on the
Nixon 48; DeWitt made 4
as the game ended with the
score Flatonia 12, Nixon 7.
