Sedalia Democrat, Sunday, November 5,1967 Smith-Cotton Drops Underdog Role, 25-7 Mike RobertSOn Leads Sport Scraps Team With Two Opponents Junior Soccer Team Rate Two Preparing To Play Sedalians i By D. Kelly Scruton Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm By D. Kelly Scruton Sports Editor It was a cold and dreary night down in Springfield, he snow which fell Friday morning in Springfield pri(jay Springfield the Smith- Two members of the Sedalia Junior Kickers Soccer team were honored with all-opponent selections. Evangel College Crusaders of Springfield selected Bobby Paxton, center half, while Central put goalie Ron Huhman on it opponent team. Bobby Paxton, age 15, has been playing soccer in the Sedalia Assocaition for three years, giving play previously to the Town Country Juvenile member of the only froze up the Hillcrest Hornets and the chill air only potton Tigere warmed things up as they went to a 25-7 Smith" made the Smith-Cotton Tigers fight that much harder victory.

The Tigers played the Hornets like they really Cotton High School. At his to keep warm and as a result they came home late in business and their work paid dividends, the night on not only a full stomach of a big steak but jjjg a 25-7 victory over Hillcrest. Goiiig into the game the Tigers were somewhat classed as the under-dog but they came out the Two beautiful touchdown runs by Mike Robertson, one 92 yards and another of 85, were nullified because was caught clipping. But it phase the Sedalians. They just up their belts and went on to prove their point they could win.

There were thirty some-odd football boys who were mighty happy over the victory, but I believe they were anymore happier over the work than the new coach Chuck Shelton. After the game, he praised the boys. just went out there tonight determined to win and played a great game. They take any chances but took advantage of every break that came their Shelton was high on the praise of the boys and called attention to the two long runs by Robertson, then switched to the handUng of the team by Larry Thomas, quarterback, and the drive of Don Thompson and the push of Crank, not failing to call attention to the fine blocking the boys dispoayed all night long, their continuous drive, drive and drive. i The coach was doubtful of clip called on one of the during 85-yard touchdown run, which was called back.

To me it looked like a fine block. happened in front of Shelton explained, but that isn't the way the officials saw it, so it was a clip. To the large delegation of who drove down to Springfield there was no doubt the team was really UP and playing their very best. In fact looking over the large stadium it appeared as if were more Sedalia people in the stands in the adults than Springfield people. Some said they kinda figured the made up their minds to deliver a win down in just to satisfy the hometown fans who drove that miles down to the John F.

Kennedy Stadium to see them play. Speaking of the football rating, one wonders just how to figure this one out. Those, Springfield and Southwest football teams are a tough bunch and play a hard circuit, but when you start figuring, one wonders about Smith- Cotton. Listening to the Glendale high school of Springfield and the Joplin Bulldogs game while our own game was in progress, Joplin defeated Glendale by a 21-13 score. A Springfield fan remarked do you then went on to explain Glendale beat Hillcrest 7-6; Hillcrest beat Joplin 10-0; Central beat Hillcrest 7-6 and now comes that team from Sedalia which supposed to win and beats Hillcrest 25-7.

ju.st make sense, but he remarked. There is one thing definite. Smith-Cotton has to keep its image up this coming Friday when it is to meet Springtield Partcview on the Jennie Jaynes Stadium grifiron. Parkview up to the past week had a 0-7 record for the season and would like nothing better than to upset the Tigers, just because they turned Hillcrest upside down. Friday night will tell the story.

I noted with interest Mr. A. C. Renner of Kansas City is all and about the tax dollar pari-mutuel betting on horse racing. It artything new in this column.

I can take the readers back, back and back years where suggestions, recommendations and reports for pari-mutuel for Missouri would be a benefit. What makes this interesting that is the suggestion of Mr. Renner was carried on last Wednesday in the Kansas City star along with a picture of the immense crowd at Churchill Downs, Louisville, Ky. A or indication, was in effect it would go great along with the Jackson County sports complex. I heartily agree, it would be great, but not make it a program for the Metropolitan areas only.

Like Kansas City and St. Louis. Right here in Sedalia the finest mile dirt track in the country is located; Springfield is also a likely location for outstanding track. Actually we here in Sedalia are just a little jealous over the fact much of the push started in Sedalia for a law because Missouri is missing millions of dollars for the general revenue. But I still contend monies derived from the should be set up wise to give assistance to 4-H, FFA, County Fairs, the Empire fair at Springfield, and the Missouri State Fair.

What they would receive could be used toward imprwing the two youth programs in agriculture, while Uie fair groups could use it for capital improvements. We are now happy that some people in Kansas City have joined the crusade to push for pari-mutuel betting in Missouri help and Missourians. EAST LANSING, Mich. looked like Michigan State had upset strong Southern California. Spartan players were congratulating end Allen Brennen after he caught a Jimmy Raye fOTward pass for a touchdown.

Then an official dropped a red flag and the TD was nullified and Michigan State trailed 21-17. That was the final score. The touchdown which allowed climaxed an 84-yard drive against the Trojans. to bother the Tigers. They took advantage of about anything that came along.

Midway of the first quarter a 92-yard touchdown run by Mike Robertson was nullified because of a clipping penalty and the ball was set down just one yard back of where he took the punt from halfback Steve Stratton. As a result the Tigers were stymied and had to punt from their 17, it going to the Tiger 49 yard line. But to prove a point the break came. On the first play Larry Thompson, a Hornet halfback was shook up and fumbled and Allen Bone playing on the defense moved in quickly and pulled the ball in on the Tiger 49. Don Thompson picked up four yards, only to see it disappear on the next play when off-sides were called.

On a pitch-out to Mike Robertson who started down the field, to get eight yards and a clipping penalty was called on the Hornets and from the point of infraction the ball was put down on the Springfield 25. Don Crank picked up two yards, then Larry Thomas picked out to Robertson who went tearing down the turf 23 yards for the first score. Lee Deal kicked the extra point, giving the Tigers the first score. The TD came with one minute and 12 seconds left on the clock. The lead held up until two minutes and 52 seconds were left on the clock in the second quarter.

Terry Arnold was forced to punt from his 10 and the ball rolled out on the 33 yard line of Smith-Cotton. A five-yard penalty gave the opponents a first down and it was on the 23. Quarterback Keith Frazier up three yards, and on the next play he pitched a beautiful pass to Geral Hill, his left end who was in the end zone for the score. Hill then booted the extra point. The first half ended with the teams knotted 7 and 7.

Opening the second half another heart breaker came when a Tigerman was accused of clipping. Mike Robertson had received the kickoff from Springfield on the Tiger 15 and went dashing 85 yards to pay territory. It was nullified and the ball called back. The point from the penalty minus the 15 yards put it on the Hornets 36. The fighting mad Tigers be stopped.

They picked up two first downs six line plays included which was a fumble by Thomas who pulled in to keep its possession. The second first down came on a 11 yard pass to Arnold and the ball was on the 10-yard stripe. Mike Robertson went charging into the center of the line with PROMISING HEAVYWEIGHT Jerry Quarry, although still in contention for the world elimination tournament championship, will tell you that even winners sometimes get Jolted. Quarry grimaces In this action photo after being tagged with a left hook. determination and went the distance to score.

Apparently the Hornets were giving Rusty Johnson a hard time and he centered the ball over head. But the score now was 137 for the Tigers It came with seven minutes and 53 seconds left on the clock. The score at the end of the quarter remained 13-7. The fourth quarter saw the Hornets in possession of the ball on the Tiger 40. Larry Thompson picked up a first down and the ball was at the Tiger 29.

Geral Hflr on a reverse lost three. An incomplete pass, a pass to Steve Stratton went for a minus three yards. In an endeavor to move the Hornets chose to try the fourth down, and failed the Tigers taking over on their own 34. Don Thompson was called upon and picked up four yards, the next play the Tigers were in motion and five on a penalty. Robertson gained them back and on the next play the Hornets donated a first down on a 15 yard penalty, the ball to the Hornets 45.

Three first downs came about with the ball being carried by Robertson for 10 yards on three plays. Crank 2 yards on two plays, Jerry Morris two yards on a pass while Thompson carried seven times for a total of 31 yards, the last two yards through the line for the touchdown with two minutes and 33 seconds left on the clock. kick fell to the left of the uprights. The score now 19 to 7. The Hornets took the kick off on their own 29.

The Tigers contributed a first down to them on a 15 yard penalty. The ball was at the Hornet 44, but a swarming bunch of Tigers gave Keithe Frazier causing him to lose 15 yards. His was incomplete but the Hornets drew a 15 yard penalty and the ball was back on the 14 yard line. Two incomplete passes followed, then Stratton was called upon to punt out of the danger territoiy only to see a wall of Tigers swooping down on him, the punt blocked by Terry Arnold on the 18 yard line and recovered by Ken Drenon. Roberts picked up two yards which was followed by a perfect pass by Larry Thomas to Morris for the touchdown with 29 seconds on the clock.

Again a bad pass from center deprived the Tigers of the extra point but they had a safe lead. After the kickoff two incomplete passes netted nil and the game was over.

Huskers Defeat I-State LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) Nebraska used Its vaunted defense to shackle Iowa Slate Saturday and untrack its own sputtering offense long enough to score a 12-6 win in a Big Eight football struggle before 65,078. A first quarter field goal and a third quarter touchdown and safety gave Nebraska its margin. The victory boosted defending loop champions to a 2-2 mark in the Big Eight, 5-2 over-all, and kept alive a fragile Cornhusker hope for a title tie. Iowa State stands 2-6 for the season, 1-4 in the conference.

A Nebraska defense led by All-American middle guard Wayne Meylan held the Cyclones to 10 yards total offense in the first half, and Iowa State did not register a first down until the final play of the third quarter. Nebraska moved the ball well in spurts, managing 174 yards in the first half alone, but scarcely threatened until given a pair of third quarter opportunities by the defensive unit. The opening counter came in the early minutes when a short Iowa State punt into the wind gave Nebraska possession on Iowa 21 and set up a 23-yard field goal by Bill Bomberger. A 3-0 Nebraska lead stood up until the third quarter when Adrian F'iala intercepted a John Warder pass in Iowa State territory. Quarterback Frank Patrick made the 41-yard drive good on a one-yard keeper.
