/ would win 4 to @ and Alexander
dreamed that we would make two.
touchdoWns the first ten minutes.
That part of George dream was
fulfilled, but il George had not
]been so excited that be woke up,
he probably would have finished
Ibis dream by seeing Sleepy Eye
make three touchdo downs, which they
did.
It was a great game and Sleepy
Eye scored its winning touchdown.
with only a minute and a half to
/ spare. Sleepy Eye won the toss
and chose the east goal from which.
"a mild breeze was blowing Chad
derdon kicked off for Redwood and
sent the ball behind Sleepy S. goal
line. The>Sleepy Eye boys seemed
afraid Of it SO Peayy touched it
down. This was a touchdown for
/ Red wood because we were all on
i side when the ball was kicked.
lSleepy Eye made roar, Of course,
hut the referee was firm and they.
had to give in. PeaYy then kicked
goal. Score was 6 to Q in favor of
Redwood. Sleepy Eye then kicked
to Redwood. King advanced the.
ball fifteen yards before he was
l.doWned. Redwood carried the ball
down to Sleepy Eye S Is yard line
when they lost it onsdowns. Sleepy
Eye returned it to the middle OF the
field and had to turn the ball over

the ball by a couple of line plays
and an end run for a touchdown.
Peavy again kicked goal. Score u
too. Sleepy Eye kicked off to King

tieing the score. Then the boys
[ fought hard Redwood held Sleepy.
Eye for downs and tried a fake.
The runner had a clear field for a
touchdown but King passed the ball
high and they lost the ball. That
pass probably lost the game for
Redwood, although they held Slice
Ply Eye for downs again. a minute
later they could do nothing and
SLEEPY Eye again lost the ball. Then
they carried it down the field forsa
third and last touchdown. They
kicked goal again Final score 10
to 12, in favor Of Sleepy Eye. Only
la minute and a half was left to play
and the half closed with the ball in
Sleepy Eye territory.
s Both teams played good ball and
if the same teams were to play again
it wouldn't be safe to bet on either
one. Cutting for Sleepy Eye played
q star game. Chadderd don and Alan
| King for Redwood played great ball
lon the defensive. Sleepy Eye
/ tried its Whirling wehge on right
! tackle once but Man broke tt up
and tackled Cutting fora loss.
Next Saturday Redwood plays
l Marshall here and there is every
Indication chat they should win.
Marshall lost to Tracy 40gsto Q and
Sleepy Eye beat Tracy I Ito ! Q. So
on the basis Of imperative scores
\ Redwood is vastly superior
