Westside invades Northeast Wednesday night, tor a game which could make a. success out ot Lhe Warrior season Currently ranked number one In the state by some experts, Northeast has shown a diversified attack and a stingy defense.

Their only weakness seem s to b e the S lOW• n ess of t h e line. Hastlngs, last wc.ek, capitalized on this weakness a nd the Lincoln lads were nearly toppled from their l ofty by a far inferior team.

Northeast is not the best team In the state. Furthermore they are far from unbeatable. Oct. 25 could be a good example of t h is fact.

Two notables In the Westside football picture the past two games have been Barry Halla and Pete Ridgeway. Barry's tough defensive play, especially In the Fremont fracas, kept the Fremont ground game from getting started more than once. Pete has shown himself the most improved player this year. A member of last year's reserve team, his determined and hard charging type o f running has brought Warrior fans to their feet repeatedly. Keep up the good work.

Tomorrow night, the South High Packers host the Warriors at Omaha Municipal stadium. Led by Nick Crum, South plays a hard nose type of ball. Westside, after lostng a heart-breaker to Fremont, rides In on a live-game losIng streak to thls game.

This last statement does the Warrior season llttl e justice. This writer, having seen South twice, will go wlth Westside on the basis ot more talent and a certain soothsayer.
