Bedford Bulldogs Top Clarinda Cardinals Revisit 1940 Clash
A Bedford Bulldogs victory over the Clarinda Cardinals last Friday in the Cardinals gym reprised a 1940 drama. The article compares 1940 and current stats, notes field goals 33 to 16, free throws 11 for Bedford and 11 for Clarinda, and 43 fouls vs 19 in 1940, then reflects on defense and officiating. It also links nostalgia with local players, coaches, and returning holiday visits.
