The Ada Bulldog offense was held scoreless for the second time this season as the visiting Delphos Jefferson Wildcats traveled to War Memorial Stadium and got a hard fought, 10-0 Northwest Conference victory. The loss drops Ada to (5-4) overall and (4-3) in the conference, ending any shot the Bulldogs had at a

piece of the NWC Championship.

Both offenses failed to find the end zone in the first half as Wildcat kicker Kurt Wollenhaupt's 31-yard field goal late in the second quarter were the only points either team could muster before the halftime intermission.
