The Sidney herald., 1956-09-13

1855 they played against one of
the scrappiest teams in the lea
que. Sidney can expect to en-
gage as much spirit and en-
thusiasm Friday night.
The locals will be without the
services of linebacker Clarence
Helm this week. The strong de-
fensive man injured his shoulder
in the Williston game and will
be out of action for a week. 9th
erwise Sidney will be in top
physical shape.
In spite of the two touchdown
victory margin last Friday Coach
Shading was far from happy
with the performance Of his
charges.
The boys displayed an often
slve punch which could carry
them a long ways this season
but the development of some po-
sitions was a disappointment
Poor tackling gave the Coyotes
a couple of long runs and poor
blocking stopped the Sidney run
ner short of possible gains. These
fundamentals have to improve if
the Eagles want to be considered
a power in the Glass A confer
ence.
Nevertheless Sidney defeated a
good ball club in their opener.
This Williston team had their
complete backfield back from a
year ago and plenty of expert
enced players in the line. They
were expected to give the Eagles
a hard ball game but with the
exception of a couple of long
runs never showed much of a
threat.
Sidney came from behind last
Friday night, erasing a Williston
SIX point lead, and went on to
a well deserved 26-l2 victory.
Midway in the opening period
halfback Larrie Smith thrilled
the crowd with an 80 yard run
for the score. A running play
for the point was stopped.
John Marman, Sidney half
back, had just punted from his
own 38 to the Williston end
zone. With the ball in play on
the 20. Smith took off on the
next play for his tally.
In the second quarter Sidney
took owe on their IL. On some
fine running by backs Marman,
Doyle Dotson and Tyler Jensen
the Eagles ground their way to
the Coyotes 10. There Marman,
taking a pitchout from Tom Quill
ling, stepped his way for the
score. On a fake kick Marnan
ran for the point and Sidney led
TO.
With a minute and a half to
play in the half Sidney got a
break when Williston on fourth
down fumbled a bad pass from
center and the Eagles took over
on the Coyotes ~.
Two plays later quarterback
Quilting threw a % yard pass
to end Jack Marion who made
a beautiful over-the-shoulder
catch and the r. d. This time
Marman's kick split the uprights
and Sidney led 1916.
VAiiAoSOA DouiiCSO DdCh quick
ly in the third. After intercept
ing a Marmon pass the Coyotes
moved to the Eagles 80. From
there Smith raced around end
for the distance and scored.
Just before the quarter ended
Sidney scored again. Quilting,
from a half yard out, pushed v
er on a. OBJ sneak to make it
20-12. This series of plays trav-
eled Sc yards.
Midway in the fourth the Ea-
giles defense which was impress
sive at times pushed the Coyotes
their IL back to the five.
ii yard kick against the
wind gave Sidney the ball only
l6 yards from pay dirt. Tom
Quilting moved the bali to the
eight yard line. There the Sidney
quarterback snapped a spot pass
over the line to brother Ron and
he final Eagle score.
The Sidney backs, both ex-
oerienced and inexperienced,
showed themselves well Friday
hight. John Marman was the
eading ground gamer with a 6.3
yards average per carry. Doyle
was next averaging So,
ollowed by Tom Quilting with
I.9, Tyler Jensen 3.9 and Gary
3racken 8. 3.
In the line end Jack Marion,
enter Bob Potts and middle
inebacker Clarence Helm were
probably the most impressive.
