Coach Vince Aldrich's Thunderbolts finally bit the dust, after three straight victories over Nebraska Class A foes, by going out of state to tangle with Heelan High of Sioux City, No. 3 ranked of all the teams in that state. And the word is that tradition-rich Heelan has its best club in ten years. people wonder why we are willing to take on a team like Aidrich admits. But he reasons that in defeat our kids learn a lot of football playing Pius plays its first Class opponent this week, in fact two of them.

The host Omaha Holy Name Tuesday night on their home field, then entertain Omaha Gross in a Friday encounter. The Tuesday clash is a makeup of a game snowed out two weeks ago. Aldrich hopes the experience of playing a club like Heelan will make the task easier against other opponents. beat Sioux City Central 3041 the week before they played he says, Central moved up a notch in the Iowa ratings for coming so close. I think you ought to be afraid of playing someone who is likely to beat you.

Though defending state champion Creighton Prep continues to pace the big school division and the top five teams are in the same order, Columbus is replaced by Omaha North in the No.

10 spot and Omaha Benson slips to ninth as a result of last action. i New York (UPl) Johnny Unitas did one of the toughest things in the world. He came to the other backyard and beat him. The other guy was Joe Namath, and a lot of people tried to build up the ball game as something extra special because it was the flrst meeting between the two clubs since Jan. 12, 1969 when the New York Jets became world champions by knocking over the Baltimore Colts in the Super Bowl at Miami.

game at Shea Stadium, however, was about as exciting as a two-hour session at the public library and although the Colts prevailed, 29-22, and technically that earned Unitas the decision of Namath, both have had better days. The real stickout of the occasion was a defensive player, Baltimore safetyman Jerry Logan. To get an idea of the way things went, Logan picked off Rrst toss of the afternoon less than three minutes after the game started and legged it 31 yards for the first touchdown. Within three more minutes Unitas hit tight end Tom Mitchell witii an 11-yard peg for another score that made it 174) and the Jets were forced to play catch-up football the rest of the way. Off the statistics alone get the idea Unitas bad a tremendous day.

He credited the 41-20 win to most error-free offensive game played in the last five and improved defensive play in second half. shut them off well in the second half with the exception of one long pa'ss in the last he said. Devaney paid tribute to the vast Cornhusker following at the game as he recollected a pre-game conversation with Kansas coach Pepper Rodgers. visited a minute and Pepper said, know, some day sometime like to play you guys at It took a couple of minutes for it to sink in, but at that point we had more people in the stands than they said Devaney. a great tribute to the Nebraska Devaney observed that poor tackling was a major cause of defensive problems, but heaped credit on the Kansas attack and its fine stable of runners.

stop a guy like John Riggins with an arm he said. The Cornhusker coach also noted that Kansas halfback Vince a principal figure in the recruiting violations which Kansas State was penalized for, worth squabbling broke for a 96-yard touchdown on a kickoff return which started the Kansas scoring parade. Looking ahead, Devaney said, expect anything easy this week. Oklahoma State has always been tough for us and is a good, sound football team. the best Oklahoma State team faced and likely to see something new and different from them since had two weeks to prepare for Graduate assistant Ernie Sigler gave the scouting report on the (fowboys and pointed to split end Hermann Eben as being the Oklahoma State standout.
