St. Ambrose college, rolling
along on a victory parade which is
stretching: into three years, defeated Omaha University Saturday night, 26 to 18, at the Davenport Mirny Stadium before 5,100
Jans.
It was the Bees' third victory in
one week's time and their 13th
consecutive win on the gridiron.
They won the last two games of
the 1948 campaign, eight straight
in 1949 and three this year.
As a result of Saturday's victory
they remained as one of the undefeated, and untied teams of the
country. In 1949 they were one of
the 13 teams with that distinction
in the U. S. A.
The Bees had a 26 to 6 edge over
Omaha late in the fourth quarter.
Then the good passing combination
of the visitors hung up six points
when Joe Arenas. a"t fine bach,
tossed to Dusty Johnson on th<«
five and he legged it the .rest of
the way
A PRESENT.
The final Omaha victory was a
gift. There were just seconds lot't.
to the contest. The Bees had the
ball deep in their territory on
fourth down. They elected to riru
instead of kick and the gamble
didn't pan out. The visitors had
time for just one play, and they
converted into a touchdown on a
pass, Arenas to Dick Cheelie.
The victorious Bees had two
pace setters, their scat backs, Pat
Carroll and Tommy Greenan.
Tommy, who is 5 feet 8 and
weighs all of 145 pounds, nevrr
played football in high school. Ne
was judged too small. Saturday
night he certainly looked as if
some high school coach had made
a mistake. He scored the first
two St. Ambrose touchdowns, as he
and Carroll, who hails from Texas,
collaborated in beautiful broken
field running.
They had to be good to stand
out for the Bee backs were running hard, and they didn't mind
getting smacked around by a
rugged Omaha defense.
LONG DISTANCE.
In the second half the Bees did
it the hard way in scoring {foeir
third touchdown. They traveled
108 yards to make six points, They
got the ball on their seven on i
kick, and after getting their inarch
underway, they were penalized 15.
They made this up and kept right
on going until Lee Matera sneaked
over from the one yard marker.
For the long distance the Bees
made five first downs.
Tim Madden made tiie point,
putting the Bees out in front, 20
to 6.
Their fourth and last touchdown
was registered after an 81 yard
march, with Dick Zielinski, an-
Joseph Aguado
Chicago, Illinois
other kid who likes to run, dasheu
the final 31 yards, aided by some
neat blocking by his mates, particularly by Dick Forbes, who got
two men at one time..
Madden failed on the kick.
GOOD LINES.
Forbes. Joe Aguado and Bill
Newell were standouts on a St.
Ambrose line which functioned
very well. It had to function that
way because Omaha had a forward
wall which had to be shown before
yielding ground.
Saturday night's game was
productive of good all-around
play, with the blocking and tackling far from the sissy type.
The figures show the Bees' superiority. They made 17 first downs
to Omaha's nine and piled up 379
yards on the ground to Omaha's
33. However, in the air the
visitors had a decided, edge. They
picked up 135 yards to St. Ambrose's 36.
SCORE TWICE.
The Bees built up a 13 point
total in the first half because of
some very nifty offensive work.
It had to be nifty to work because
Omaha presented a stubborn defense. The line, in particular, was
rugged.
The Bees showed power in racking up the first touchdown, doing
it on a sustained march of 80 yards
after 7 J/2 minutes had elapsed in
the first quarter. Little Tommy
Greenan applied the finishing
touch, taking a pitch out from
quarterback Lee Matera and
scampering 20 yards for the TD.
Larry Ketza missed the conversion.
Pat Carroll and Greenan collaborated on the second St. Ambrose touchdown in the second
quarter. This time the Bees
started on their own 30. On three
successive runs, including one
sprint of 39 yards, Carroll carried
the ball to the Omaha 20. After
that Greenan took over, and on a
beautiful end run picked his way
thru the Omaha defense for a
touchdown. Tim Madden made
good on the conversion.
The time clock halted the Bees
late in the quarter. They carried
the ball to the two yard line. There
were 10 seconds left when the final
play of the half failed to put the
ball over, Matera handed-, off to
Bob Bevenour who was throwrn
for a yard loss.
Coach Mullins' Bees walked off
the field with a well-earned 13
point lead.
