Tractor ride
The 11th Greater S.E. Tractor
Ride started arriving in Nichols
on Thursday morning, Septem:
ber 6, at 8:30 a.m. This year's ride
consisted of about 80 tractors.
Dwight VanderLeest, a member
of the Red Rock Threshers, ex-
plained that the riders come from
all over, but mostly Southeastern
Iowa, and on some rides they have
as many as 150 tractors. They have
two ride a year, one in the spring
and one in the fall. The organizers
are Lee Clark and Fred Neely from
the Oscaloosa area, Thursday
they started in Muscatine, trav-
eled to Buffalo, Durant, Atalissa,
and then South to Nichols. From
Nichols they would go to Colum-
bus Jct. Mr. VaderLeest said they
usually covered between 60 and 70
miles a day
Craig Quigley, who moved to
Iowa from Los Angles in 1993,
says he still enjoys the beautiful,
clear-blue, skies here. He said they
were usually gray in Los Angles.
He drives what they call 'the Shag
Wagon', the most boring job of the
ride. He follows the group driving
a pickup in case of mechanical
troubles, and picks up all the ar-
rows marking the route.
The Ladies from the United
Methodist Church provided food
and drinks for the riders at the
Alberta Kelly City Park.

Church picnic
The Nichols Christian Church
had a beautiful Sunday for their
Church picnic. All friends and
neighbors were invited. Although
Nichols is a small town, you don't
always stop and visit with your
neighbors, or fellow church mem-
bers. It was an opportunity to
have a very good meal and visit
with friends.
Pastor Windy Welsch explained
that everyone had been working
for over a year to construct a spe-
cial place to for Sunday school.
It is now completed and is ready
for ages 3-adult. The first Sunday
school classes for the 2012-2013
year start on September 16th.
Worship begins at 9:30 a.m., Sun-
day school at 10:30 a.m. You are
welcome to join them at either
time, or for both, and please invite
others.

Lone Tree Lion football gets win over Waco . . .
kick at the Lone Tree 40. However,
the Lions defense came through
and stopped WACO at the 31 on 4th
down.
With 3:00 left in the game the
Lions tried to run out the clock.
They got one in'st down, but WACO
used all its time outs and in the sec-
ond series the Lions were forced to
punt, giving the ball to WACO at
its 24 with 0:58 left. The Warriors
got a 20 yard gain with a first down
pass. On the next play the pass was
deflected and intercepted by Riley
Stumpf for Lone Tree's third take-
away for the night. Lone Tree ran
one kneel-down play and that was
the game. Those turnovers were a
real key Bryan Forbes and Andy
Dodson had the two fumble recov-
eries at crucial times and the inter-
ception killed any last gasp hope
that WACO had.
Unofficially, I had Lone Tree for
13 first downs, 218 net yards on 51
rushes, Six of 13 in passing for 109
Iowa Panthers come to town. They
had a great showing in Madison
on opening weekend and then got
a big win last Saturday. This might
be the year the Panthers are able
to do what they almost did three
years ago. If they do, it will be
their first win in the series since
the opening game on November
5, 1898. I suppose it was played in
Cedar Falls because it is the only
game in the series that is listed
as away The Panthers won that
yards with the one interception,
three fumbles, none lost, and six
penalties for 45 yards. Individually,
Sieverding led the rushers with 89
yards in 10 rushes. Saterfield con-
tributed 42 and Lorack 32. WACO
had 12 first downs, 228 net yards
rushing, completed two of four
passes for 15 yards with one inter-
ception, fumbled four times and
lost two, and was penalized three
times for 15 yards.

games played since then.
The Big Ten generally had a
tough weekend. I never did see a
final score in the Illinois-Arizona
game, but when I quit watching
and went to bed the Illini were al-
ready behind, 14-0. If Illinois lost
that means the Big Ten went 6-6
because I know Wisconsin, Pur-
due, Penn State, Nebraska and
Iowa lost. Hopefully this week will
be better, at least in Iowa CiW.

ising as the quarter ended. On the
first play of the fourth quarter,
Lone Tree was looking at third
and nine on its six yard line. With
some good blocking on the left side
Sieverding came through with a
big time run for 12 yards to give the
Lions a first down on the 18. On the
next play he got loose for 42 yards
and the Lions were in business in
WACO territory All together it
took 15 plays to score. Levi Sater-
field scored flom the one on fourth
down. Glllham added the extra
point and it was 21-6 with 4:33 left.
Things turned sour for Lone
Tree fans in a hurry Dylan Carlson
took the kickoff and broke through
the traffic into the clear and went
85 yards for a touchdown. Ben Sear
then ran for the two point conver-
sion and the score stood 21-14 with
4:20 left. Things got more tense in a
hurry, WACO recovered the onside

Splinters from the Bench
Continued ... from page 1
In all fairness to Vandenberg,
according to game reports that I
read in the papers on Sunday, Iowa
had eight dropped passes. Now, a
dropped pass is a lot different than
a pass being broken up by a defen-
sive player. Sometimes there were
defensive players right there, but
the pass was also thrown right into
the hands of the receiver who, for
whatever reason, couldn't hang on.
One of the times that happened
was on that first and goal from the
three. I think it was on third down
and Vandenberg hit the receiver
right in the hands and he dropped
it. There was a defender behind
him, but it didn't look like he had
a hand anywhere near the ball.
McNutt had a defender draped on
his back when he caught the game-
winning pass at Michigan State in
2009, but he didn't drop the ball.
Actually, maybe we should
blame the loss on James Morris.
He intercepted the pass in the
end zone, but only got it run out
to midfield and then got tackled.
He should have run the whole 100
yards instead of turning it over to
the offense.
