That's the way the score looked al
tie close of Fridays foot ball game
a. the fair grounds between eleyens
representing the schools OF the TWO
towns.
| It was Sank Centres first real foot
bail game. as the meeting with Osakls
failed 10 offer sufficient resistance on
the part Of the latter 10 give the To-
Gals more than practice game with
Sank Centres own second team.
Alexandrias team looked ten to
fifteen pounds heavier 10 the man
than did the locals Had the visitors
had the science they would have
proved a much tougher proposition TO
handle AS it was they gave the
home boys plenty 10 do from start 10
finish. Early in the game they looked
dangerous. pushing the oval steadily
down the field TO within ten feet OF
the goal where they failed 10 gain
and Sank Centre kicked out Of dan
ger. After that they had no chance
to score. though the two teams zig
Jagged back and forth across the
gridiron.
Alexandria depended mainly upon
straight line bucking and end runs
| for gaining ground. while Sank Cen
ire made a more liberal use Of the
/ forward pass. using ii several times
for long gains. Alexandria tried the
pass few times but could not work
il with success. Their passes were
poor and in most cases the ball went
| into the hands OF some Sank Centre
player WHO was ready TO receive il.
Sank Centres first score was made
by touchdown al the west goal after
two long runs on forward passes.
Austin negotiated the first run from
Alexandria's forty-tye yard line. 70
| ing twenty yards. The teams lined
up again and in a flash the bail had
been passed 10 Lyman, who ran like
| d = er. eludinp several Alexandria
would be tacklers and going over the
goal line-a distance of twenty-five
yards-for a touchdown. Goal was
kicked and the score stood TO 0.
This all transpired in the first quart
er of the game. Hansen's passes
were good and the two runners got
them easily and got away with little
trouble
In the second quarter Sank Centre
got the ball down TO within about
fifteen yards of the east goal, when
Kells passed the oval back to Hansen,
who placed as pretty drop kick as
has been seen here. The ball went
squarely between the posts and three
more points were added to the score
in Sank Centres favor. That finish
ed the scoring. In the last quarter
Hansen tried another drop kick at
the same goal. but the kick was made
from an angle and the ball went
foot away.
Sank Centres showing in this game
was quite satisfactory. The team is
good one and with more practice
viii give an excellent account of it
self. There was much costly FUN
bling by both teams. Eckenrod at
quarter runs the team with good
Judgment and precision and carries
the ball well when he has it. Hansen
at full. Gingery and Parker at halves
all show good CALDER. The line held
pretty well considering that a big fell
low was sent into it early and often.
Had the giant AleXandrian possessed
speed the result might have been diff
ferent. Sank Centres tackling was
good on the whole, though the inter-
ference was poor. The next game
should show great improvement in
the players The lineup:
