Jerry Browning, Larry Kremer, and Dave Heathcott punched Booneville’s defense groggy in the early going and then kept Mater Dei in scoring gear enroute to a 46-20 victory Thursday night at Reitz Bowl. The Wildcat trio accounted for 40 points and 367 yards in an Evansville’s prep grid opener. All three scored two touchdowns apiece and Browning and Heathcott added three and one points, respectively, on extra plunges.

Mater Dei put the game out of reach with only 13:54 gone when Browning scored twice and Heathcott made it 19-0 on a spin out from the 11-yard line. Browning hit the end zone first with 9:39 remaining in the first period by taking a pitch out from Heathcott and threading out way through the Pioneer defense for the marker. The big play of the march originated after the kickoff and consumed 52 yards; it was a 32-yard Browning to Bill Muensterman pass.

Browning scored again at 3:37 of the opening period on a three-yard dash around right end. Browning pass to Heathcott covering 25 yards was the kayo blow of the move.

Booneville’s Maurice Hunt fumbled away the Pioneer’s opportunity to move into contention. Mater Dei recovered on their own 48 and scored in a sequence of 12 plays. They capitalized on a crucial fourth and nine 15-yard penalty to take a first down on the 11 instead of a defense formation upfield.

Jerry Ashley, a standout in Booneville’s spasmodic offense punched across for a TD and the extra point to give the Pioneers a weak flickering of hope. Included in the march was Ashley’s 49-yard kickoff return and the final punch. He also bucked the line to make it 19-7.

Booneville was apparently inspired by the brief attempt at success. The Pioneers stopped Mater Dei’s drive and moved swiftly back out to their 47 before Hunt’s first pass was picked off by the fleet Kremer. He galloped 53 yards into the end zone unmolested and Browning cracked tackle for a 26-7 count.

Heathcott circled his left end on a 18-yard sprint and plunged for the point to fatten the Wildcats account by seven with 4:39 left in the third period. Kremer’s tremendous spurt right through Booneville’s entire defense sent the sparse crowd heading for the exits with 1:19 remaining in the third period. Kremer bellied a step to the right and shot through an opening off tackle. He wove up through the center and then veered to the far sideline enroute to six points as three Booneville tacklers muffed side-on shots at him.

Ashley ripped off runs of 18,6, and a one-yard head-knocker for Booneville’s second TD. He scored with 10:44 left in the game.

The last MD score evolved midway through the last period. Charlie Toon banged away for several nice gains, including a 13-yard dash for a first down at the 23 by flashing a bold bid for grid importance similar to Browning, Kremer, and Heathcott. He went across from the four standing up on an off-tackle slant.

With only 25 seconds left on the clock, sub Jim Wilson, playing as an unidentified No. 89 in the Booneville attack, scooted the last eight yards ahead of MD defenders. Jake Bieber’s plunge for the PAT was successful for the final point.

All totaled, MD ground out an amazing 484 yards. Browning averaged 17.0 yards per try and Kremer finished with a 14.8 average.

Superb breakaway running by a race horse Memorial backfield gave the Tigers a hard earned 14-6 victory over Mater Dei in a bitterly contested intra-city football game Saturday before 4,300 fans at Enlow Field.

Ken Kissel and Ron Magness, a pair of jet propelled halfbacks who seem to start and stop at just the right times, scored long touchdowns on the same play for Memorial to give the Tigers their two payoff blows on the Enlow mud. Kissel scored his with five minutes forty five seconds remaining in the first quarter, breaking through the Mater Dei line and racing past a startled secondary, down the middle of the field for a 63-yard jaunt.

Magness, later destined to score the winning touchdown on the same play, booted the extra point and gave the Tigers a 7-0 lead in the rugged, hard-knocking tilt before the clock hand was much more than halfway through the first period. Magness, who soared into the lead in the city’s scoring race with three touchdowns in the Tigers’ 61-6 rout of Owensboro Catholic last week, broke loose on his run at the beginning of the second stanza. Only a few seconds after the ball had switched ends on the field to start the second 12 minutes, Magness crashed through the middle of the line and cut to the right side of the field, finally cutting back toward the middle just before crossing the goal line on a 53 yard sprint.

Big John Titzer, 197 pound fullback, bulled over for the extra point and Memorial had a 14-0 lead with 11 minutes forty seconds remaining until halftime.

Mater Dei dug into the ankle-deep mud that topped Enlow Field after that, holding the Tigers scoreless the rest of the way as both teams began to tire under the slippery conditions of the gooey field. Players were unrecognizable, covered from head to toe with the mud, when Mater Dei finally entered the scoring column in the final period. Jerry Browning, the human tank who put Memorial captain Larry Stallings out of the game in the first quarter, swept left end for a four yard TD run in the first 40 seconds of the final period for the Wildcats only whisper of glory. The four yard run climaxed a 37 yard drive that began when quarterback Dave Heathcott picked up a Memorial fumble and carried it ten yards.

Browning, all-city at quarterback last year, was nearly the entire Mater Dei attack as he carried the ball 22 times and gained 76 yards for a 3.4 rushing average. But his bull-like charges were overshadowed by the distance blows by Kissel and Magness. Kissel, a 155 pound senior, carried only 11 times but gained 163 yards for a norm of 14,8 yards per try. Magness carried seven times and ate up 68 yards for a 9.7 average.

Wet playing conditions kept the slippery ball spurting all over the field with Memorial fumbling six times and Mater Dei twice. The field was so dangerous that Merkel selected to run out the clock in the final minute of play when Memorial drove to the Mater Dei 3 yard line. Kissel’s 16 yard run and Titzer’s 10 yard carry sparked the drive that began on the 48 yard line. But instead of going for the score, Merkel ran three straight sneaks in the final minute and left the ball on the three yard line when the final gun sounded.

Victory came at a high price for Coach Gene Logel’s tough charges as captain Stallings and regular guard Chapel were both injured. Stallings was taken to the dressing room after making a bruising tackle of Browning in the first quarter while Chapel was removed from the field in the final few minutes after a pileup on the line. Both were groggy and suffering from head injuries.

The victory was the second straight for the Tigers while the defeat was the first for Coach Len Will’s Cats who beat Booneville 46-20 in their opener last Friday.

Touchdowns: Browning

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jerry Browning, Mater Dei’s 185-pound fullback, who can do just about anything there is to do with a football, was too much for the Lincoln Lions to handle at Reitz Bowl Friday night as the Wildcats registered a 27-7 victory, their second in three games.

Apparently oblivious to the tricky footing and steady rain which fell during most of the game, Browning was personally involved in all four Mater Dei touchdowns – passing for three and running 38 yards for the other.

Lincoln’s only tally was registered with 29 seconds left when sub quarterback Maurice Mayes connected with end Jerry Haskins on a 12-yard pass.

Neither team was able to move effectively on the ground because of the soft field. Mater Dei picked up just 75 yards rushing while the Lions, hampered by costly fumbles, totaled but 37 yards.

The Wildcats had considerably more success in the air, however, completing 6 of 14 passes for 129 yards. A Lincoln fumble set up the first Mater Dei score late in the first quarter. Fullback Leon Jones fumbled on his own 28. Six plays later with the ball on the 5, Browning hit end Jerry Head in the end zone for the TD. The Wildcats rallied again with 3:13 remaining in the second quarter when Browning flipped a screen pass to Dave Heathcott on the Lincoln 25 and he went the rest of the way without trouble. In all the play covered 39 yards.

Browning lumbered up his pitching arm again with 40 seconds left in the third period, throwing a 36-yard touchdown strike to Larry Kremer after reserve guard Maurice Berendes recovered a fumble by the Lions’ Shirley Williams, an end who was used in the backfield in several plays by coach Ed Claybourne. Browning’s pass to Head for the extra point made it 20-0.

Mater Dei added its last touchdown with 7:38 remaining. The 57-yard drive started when Browning returned a punt to his own 43. After a penalty moved the ball to the 38, Browning took a handoff from Heathcott on a draw and went up the middle untouched for the touchdown. Jerry added the final point by bucking over to run the count to 27-0. The Wildcats got four cracks at making the point after touchdown as Lincoln was offside three straight times.

Lincoln broke into the scoring column in the closing seconds after Heathcotte fumbled a punt on his own 16 and the Lions recovered. After reaching the 8, the Purple and Gold was set back to the 21 by a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty. Frank Boyd carried twice to get back to its 12 and then Mayes spotted Haskins running into the end zone for the marker. Jones blasted over for the extra point.

Touchdowns: Head, Heathcott, Kremer, Browning

Mater Dei awakened from a listless slumber in the second period here Thursday night to roar past inspired Owensboro Catholic 38-6.

The Wildcats, a prohibitive favorite gunning for their third victory in four starts, handled the ball on only six downs in the opening quarter as Catholic drove into a 6-0 lead. However, Mater Dei threw up an attack as wide open as Las Vegas and rode Jerry Browning’s strong arm into a 14-6 advantage at halftime. The Wildcats continued to mix Browning’s long strikes with the deceptive running of Dave Heathcotte and Larry Kremer to crack Catholic’s game but inexperienced defense for four second half touchdowns.

MD, outscored 15-12 in first downs, concentrated on the long kayo punch to roll up 319 yards, including 171 through the air. The Fighting Aces, led by Jim Edge, a 115-pound comet, racked up 159 rushing and 36 by passing. Catholic surprised MD by drawing first blood at the outset. Edge shook loose twice for 18 and 16 yards as the Aces pushed 76 yards to the 1 where the Wildcats held.

MD promptly returned the ball to Catholic on a fumble by Heathcotte and junior Bobby Smith popped over to give the Aces a 6-0 advantage with 5:05 remaining.

MD moved into command in the second period by driving 75 and 74 yards for touchdowns on three and six plays respectively. Browning hit Heathcotte after feinting and end run and the hard knocking quarterback picked his way 59 yards to the Catholic 16 to set up the first TD. Browning rammed to the 11 and Charlie Toon flew around right end into the end zone on his only rushing play of the evening. Heathcotte, shifty as a three-legged jackrabbit, skirted left end on a keeper for the PAT at 5:45.

With 15 seconds left in the half Browning cracked over from the 1 and Heathcotte called his same keeper play for the extra point to hike the Wildcat’s edge to 14-6. Browning, who threw several passes over 40 yards in the air, hit Heathcotte and Dan Townsend with 36 yard tosses in the march.

Kremer raced 34 yards to get MD’s scoring attack in gear in the third period after he, Browning, and Heathcotte had picked up 41 yards in three rushes. Kremer shot over left guard on a cross buck and out sprinted Catholic’s defenders to the goal line.

In the second minute of the final period, the Wildcats struck for the fourth time. Kremer intercepted Bob Kirby’s pass on the MD 48 and sped down to the 33. Two plays later Browning flipped a pass to Heathcotte on the 22. Dave appeared to be trapped on three different occasions, as he threaded his way in and out of Catholic’s secondary to pay dirt.

With 9:15 left tin the game, Kremer scored again on a nine-yard shot up the center after the Aces had fumbled the ensuing kickoff.

Tony Farny, a 15-year-old junior, closed out the scoring in the last eight seconds by racing around right end from the one. MD’s second stringers, aided by 25 yards in penalties, clicked off 58 yards and chalked up three first downs in the move.

Touchdowns: Toon, Browning, Kremer (2), Heathcotte, Farney

Fabulous Jerry Browning threw a 28-yard touchdown heave and shook loose for another to lift inspired Mater Dei to a smashing 12-8 upset over mighty Reitz Thursday night. A stunned Reitz Bowl crowd of some 4,500 watched the incredible Wildcats with a reckless, wide open game that nearly backfired in the fading moments to hand Reitz its first defeat since 1955 when Central turned the trick 28-7.

The Panthers, never beaten by MD in seven previous games, had only a tie with Bosse in 1956 marring a 28-game winning streak. They had knocked off 17 straight opponents since the deadlock.

The Wildcats nearly blew the dramatic victory late in the final quarter when Reitz guard Tom Hemmer intercepted Dave Heathcotte’s jump pass and raced 27 yards to the MD 32. In three plays Gary West and John Aramowicz banged down to the one yard line. The Panthers, trailing 12-6, appeared ready to crack open the pressure packed contest and deal MD a heart-breaking defeat. But on the crucial touchdown attempt, Aramowicz was rocked hard by tackle Jim Horstketter and Heathcotte pounced on the fumble giving MD possession with three minutes remaining.

In a complete reversal of the daring, razzle-dazzle game, Mater Dei selected to play for the safety to wipe out a possible blocked punt. Browning permitted Reitz tackle LaRoy McElwee to force him down deep in the end zone, narrowing MD’s lead to 12-8 with 1:31 still left on the clock.

Faced by inevitable defeat, Reitz refused to bow without one last futile effort. Larry Kremer kicked off out of bounds at midfield from his own 20. The Panthers took possession at the Wildcat 40. On the first play from scrimmage Jerry Thienes streaked around left end for a first down on the 25. Aramowicz followed with a slant of right tackle to the 20 with a minute left in the game.

Going for the touchdown strike that would have saved the victory, Aramowicz fired a pass to Thienes on the five. The 174-pound halfback lunged at the ball but it caromed upwards off his hands. Kremer dove forward for an interception on the 6 that sealed the verdict.

Browning, a 190-pound fullback who combines bruising force and deadly passing much like the former Notre Dame great Paul Horning, sent Mater Dei out in front on the first play of the second quarter. Reitz halted MD’s 52-yard drive on the 4 and then pushed the Wildcats back out to the 17. Three plays later, however, Aramowicz fumbled and Horstketter recovered on the 29. Kremer hit up the center for a yard as time ran out in the first period.

Then Browning pulled the string that found Reitz trailing for the first time this season. He took the pass from center and started around right end. While the Reitz secondary pulled right to meet the attack, end Jerry Head sailed toward the left sideline into the end zone. Browning threw a perfect pass for a 6-0 lead. Browning’s plunge for the extra point failed.

Mater Dei surged back 60 yards with the second half kickoff to stamp its upset bid with serious intent. After two unsuccessful rushing attempts, Browning shook loose in a brilliant 34 yard dash to Reitz’ 28. Charley Toon, who turned in several spectacular runs, rammed for no gain before Heathcotte hit the little halfback with a jump pass to the 17. Heathcotte was nailed for a five yard loss and a five yard penalty moved MD back to the 28.

Unable to move on the ground, Browning faded back for a pass. His receivers were covered and he retreated back to his 45 where he picked up steam, caught a key block from Heathcotte on the 20 and sailed down the sidelines for the touchdown.

Aramowicz set up Reitz’ touchdown by returning Kremer’s kickoff 34 yards to the MD 41. In 10 straight pops. West, Thienes, and Aramowicz led the Panthers down to the 2. Aramowicz shot over right tackle standing up with 2:03 left in the period. Larry Coleman missed the PAT conversion but MD was offside. Aramowicz was stacked up short on the second try to set up the hectic finish.

Reitz outscored MD 12-10 in first downs and compiled 230 total yards to the Wildcats 155. However, MD diverted several Reitz scoring drives by recovering two fumbles and intercepting three passes. Horstketter was the outstanding individual performer up front for both teams. He made 16 tackles and assisted in numerous others.

The victory was MD’s fourth in five starts. The loss dropped Reitz to a 4-1 record.

Central pulled the string on the second big upset within a week Thursday night at Enlow Field when the Bears shocked once beaten Mater Dei 26-19 in a rushing offensive show.

Only seven days before, MD knocked off Reitz 12-8 as a two touchdown underdog. With that in mind, oddsmakers installed the Wildcats a three touchdown choice to run Central off the field. However, the Bears refused to play dead before some 2,500 fans and took dead aim on their highly regarded rival with a wide open rushing game and an impregnable pass defense.

It was obvious once coach Dan Howard took the wraps off a series of split formations featuring fullback Jim Greer, that the Wildcats were faced with a scoring duel. The 163-pound fullback slashed the Wildcat line for 154 yards including two touchdowns. His assistance from halfback Don Darnell, quarterback Errol Yeager, and halfback Rodger Karch more than offset Jerry Browning’s heroic attempt to save the defeat.

Browning picked up 135 yards on 21 rushing attempts and scored all three MD touchdowns. Browning’s effectiveness, however, was minimized considerably by a defense that never permitted MD’s passing attack to get airborne. Browning’s effectiveness, however, was minimized considerably by a defense that never permitted MD’s passing attack to get airborne. Of five pass attempts, the Wildcats completed one for minus yardage and two were picked off by alert Bear defenders.

MD’s air defense was almost as effective. The Bears struck out on four long ball attempts.

Defensive back Paul Niednagle set up Central’s first touchdown with an interception on MD’s 32 yard line. Seven plays later Yeager faked a handoff up center from the two and rolled around right end for the score. Darnell’s kick for the extra point sailed wide and the Bears led 6-0 with 10:32 left in the half.

An MD fumble two minutes later enabled the Bears to move again when end Dan Wilford recovered Dave Heathcotte’s bobble on the MD 39. Greer and Darnell alternated on four off tackle slants to the 21 where Karch found daylight over guard. He bolted to the 15, shook off a tackler, and sprinted unmolested into the end zone. Darnell converted.

MD rolled 68 yards to clip Central’s margin at halftime. Browning, Toon, Heathcotte and Kremer moved the ball deliberately to the one where Browning smashed over. Kremer plunged for the PAT.

The Wildcats made it 13-13 with 7:40 left in the third period. Browning ran Niednagle’s punt back 25 yards to the 25. A 15 yard penalty and four rushing attempts carried to the three where Browning again shot over guard. Heathcotte’s plunge for the extra point was short.

Central went back to the attack and culminated a 72 yard drive five minutes later with Greer busting over from the one. The 165 pound flash picked up 41 yards in the drive including a crucial fourth and nine first down on the one. Darnell bagged 21 on the march and kicked the PAT that appeared to be the margin of victory until the last minute of the game.

Browning put the "go" in MD’s last scoring thrust. He literally knocked off two Central tacklers and raced 25 yards to Central’s 35. Heathcotte hit to the 19, Kremer circled left end to the five. Moments later, the "Big Bull" charged four yards for pay dirt. In the attempt for the game tying extra point, Kremer was stacked up at the one.

MD’s last bid for victory was halted by a brilliant interception by Niednagle. Central drove deep into MD territory where Tom Hunger intercepted. Browning went for the long touchdown strike. Niednagle intercepted on the Central 40 and threaded his way back 27 yards to the MD 23. Greer charged twice to the 10 and Darnell followed with two attempts to the one. Greer put the final stamp on the upset with 10 seconds remaining.

Touchdowns: Browning (3)

Mater Dei’s resourceful Wildcats scored in each of the final three periods t Reitz Bowl Saturday night in stopping Daviess County, Ky., 20-0 in an inter-state grid tumble. Coach Len Will was without the services of four of his starters, but he did have his workhorse Jerry Browning in top form, and the 185-pound senior fullback zipped the Daviess County 11 times for 115 yards and two touchdowns on bursts of 20 and 47 yards. Browning also ran for an extra point for a 13 point output, which gives him 71 points for the year and the lead in the Evansville High School scoring race.

Quarterback Dave Heathcott accounted for Mater Dei’s other six pointer on a 16-yard keeper play. Jerry Head ran for the extra point after the third Wildcat score to account for the final score.

Daviess County controlled the ball through most of the first half, running 39 offensive plays to 18 for Mater Dei, but couldn’t gain consistently when in Mater Dei territory.

The winners set up their first score on a 67-yard punt by Browning, which stopped on the Daviess County one yard line. The Kentuckians were forced to punt and Mater Dei took over on the visitors’ 33-yard line. A five-yard penalty put the Wildcats on the 38, but Browning went 22 yards through the line and one play later Heathcott went 16 yards for the first score. Browning ran for the extra point to make it 7-0.

Daviess County staged its best offensive threat mid-way in the second quarter, moving to the Mater Dei 22 yard line before an offensive pass interference penalty stopped the drive.

A recovered fumble set up the second Mater Dei score late in the third period. After picking up a Daviess County bobble on the Kentuckians 29, the Wildcats went the distance in three plays, with browning carrying the final 20 yards. Heathcott’s run for the point was stopped.

Browning picked up his second touchdown of the night with seven minutes remaining in the game, when he went 47 yards on a pass-run option play. Head’s run for the point was good to conclude the scoring.

North’s Hustlin’ Huskies upset Mater Dei 14-6 Saturday night at Reitz Bowl in a tense duel highlighted by John Mominee’s thrilling 91-yard touchdown return of a Mater Dei kickoff.

Mominee, the Huskies’ outstanding sophomore halfback took the opening kickoff of the second half on the North 9, streaked up the right sideline, twisted away from one tackler on the MD 35, and dragged another across the goal line to score North’s second touchdown. Tackle Jerry Bruner converted on the third try – Mater Dei was offside on the first two attempts –and the fighting Huskies held on to win their fifth game in seven starts, boosting their city mark to 2-1. The Wildcats dropped to 5-3, all their losses being to city teams.

North scored the first TD of the game with 5:40 remaining before the half. The Huskies marched 62 yards in 15 plays, scoring on quarterback Bill Buck’s one-yard stab. Bruner converted to make it 7-0 in favor of North.

Mater Dei promptly retaliated nine plays after taking the North kickoff. Halfback Jerry Head climaxed the 62-yard drive by stepping over from the two. Browning’s attempt to run the extra point was unsuccessful, and the scoreboard read North 7, Mater Dei 6 at the half.

The expected aerial duel between North’s Bill Buck and Jerry Browning of Mater Dei failed to materialize, both teams choosing to stay on the ground for the most part. The Wildcats only pass completion on five attempts was a 49-yard play from Browning to end Dan Townsend, who fought to the Huskie six before being stopped by Buck.

Opportunistic Mater Dei closed out its 1958 football campaign Friday night at Enlow Field with a 32-6 decision of the luckless Bosse Bulldogs, who went down for the 14^th straight time.

The Wildcats, getting only the most meager help from their big gun, fullback Jerry Browning, capitalized on Bosse mistakes to register each of their five touchdowns. One six-pointer was scored and another set up as the result of intercepted passes, two came about following Bosse fumbles, and the fifth was scored when a Mater Dei defender took the ball away from a Bosse runner and scampered 51 yards.

Despite the one-sided defeat, Bosse turned in its top offensive effort of the season and controlled the ball practically the entire second half. The Bulldogs outdowned the Wildcats 13 to 9 and rolled up 172 yards rushing to 121 for mater Dei. The Wildcats had an edge in passing, but Bosse amassed a total of 213 yards to 197 by the West Siders.

Their first down, rushing, and total yardage figures were season highs for the Bulldogs, but errors cost them a chance for a victory. Bosse lost the ball three times on fumbles and had four passes intercepted.

The snake bite hit the Bulldogs in the opening seconds. Ron Volkman fumbled on the first scrimmage play and mater Dei tackle Jim Horstketter fell on the ball on the Bosse 21. Four plays later quarterback Dave Heathcotte rolled out around left end for seven yards and a 6-0 Mater Dei lead.

Bosse moved to Mater Dei’s 37 following the kickoff, but was stymied when Wildcat end Dan Townsend picked off a wayward Volkman pass and returned to his own 42. Browning, who carried the ball only twice during the game, picked up seven yards to the 49 and Heathcotte advanced to the Bosse 49. At that spot halfback Larry Kremer, who missed the last two games with a wrist injury, hit off tackle, almost fell when hit by a Bosse linebacker, regained his balance and went all the way.

The Wildcats struck again in the second period when Horstketter recovered a fumble by Bosse’s George Waters on the Bulldog 41. They used seven plays to get the touchdown, which was scored by Heathcotte on an 8-yard run after taking a lateral from Kremer, who in turn had caught a pass in the flat from Browning.

After the kickoff, Bosse ran two plays and had reached the Wildcat 39 when Jerry head, diminuitive Mater Dei end, took the ball out of Waters’ arms and raced 61 yards untouched.

However, the Bulldogs, undaunted by the 26-0 halftime deficit, came back to thoroughly outplay Mater Dei during the last two periods. With Eddie Dobroski directing the attack, Bosse moved down to the Mater Dei 11 in the third quarter and to the 20 in the final period before finally breaking through with 1:32 left.

In what perhaps was poetic justice, the Bulldogs attained their touchdown following their only pass interception. It came on the first play after Mike baker had run back a pass by Heathcotte to the Wildcats 28. Dobroski fired one straight down the middle to Jim Burch, a sophomore end, who caught the ball about the 15 and raced into the end zone.

The final Mater Dei touchdown was scored by sophomore Tom Hunger, who picked off a Bobroski pass on his 35 and skipped 65 yards, crossing the goal after time had expired.
