COLERIDGE—The Coleridge Bulldogs put on a spectacular rally and threw a scare into favored Hartington before dropping a 38-36 decision. A mighty fourth quarter by the local team almost sent the game into an overtime affair. The bulldogs scored a 33-13 victory over Wausa in a rough and tumble affair Friday evening to break even for the week. Hartington led 6-5 at the end of a slow first quarter and picked up in the second quarter to lead 20-14. It looked hopeless for the Bulldogs after they scored but a single point in the third quarter, and Hartington led 32-15 going into the final period.
After having an off night for three quarters, Wayne Jordan caught fire and scored 11 points in the final period to lead the Coleridge comeback.
Football equipment was needed as Coleridge dumped Wausa in a rough affair to avenge an earlier defeat. The Wausa team scored only five field goals during the evening. Harold Dirks paved the way for the local team, racking up 16 points.
