"We're the guys that put the can in
Canby-so they couldn't" said Oliver
Steele and he had sized up correctly
the decisive defeat doped out to Candy
Saturday by the Redwood Falls high
school team.
1t was a game not won by fukes, by
the aid of prejudiced officials, not by
main strength and awkwardness, for
Candy outweighed Redwood Falls at
least two and half pounds to the
man; it was victory for the better
team. Candy had every possible adj
vantage: they were playing visiting
team on their home ground before en-
thusiastic and confident supporters;
they were heavier, they were in good
physical condition whereas the Red
wood Falls boys, unable to get suffi-
cient sleep the previous night, were
worn out before the game had begun.
1t was determination, neverlagging pep
and nerviness that won the victory for
the Redwood team.
Team Entertained At Candy
The team accompanied by Mr.. Fin
ley and Mr.. Jordan left Friday noon
over the Northwestern and arrived in
Candy about $50 P. NJ The chance
for substantial supper was made
good Immediately when the boys were
rushed under the guidance of the Can
by coach and high school teacher to
a friendly church basement where the
ladies were serving to all Corners in
proper Halloween style. This seemed
to be treat set-up to the visitors by
couple of business men and was
heartily appreciated.
A moving picture show furnished
pasttime for the evening and by ten
o'clock everyone was in bed-but not
asleep. Outside the waking influence
of strange surroundings, the screech-
ing of aspiring prima donnas, the
banging of pianos, the Kissing and
heat of steam radiators, there were
very few annoyances to keep the boys
awake more than half the night so that
when the reports came in the next
morning lack of sleep seemed to pre-
dict disaster.
First Half Exciting
Candy had considerably scheduled
the game for $50 in order to permit
the Redwood team to make their get
away on an lilo train. 1t was decid-
ed to play IL minute quarters. Both
teams were ready for the whistle a.
bout 9:35.
Captain Rogers kicked off. Candy
returned the ball about ten yards and
were held for downs. The first signal
called for Andy Luscher to make a
straight plunge, play which he exc
cuted so gracefully that he made 80
yards before he was thrown within
half yard of the goal. Time was TAX
en- out until Andy could breathe freely
and then Had Meyers put his ITO
pounds of beef behind the ball for a
touchdown. Veldey failed to kick goal.
All this inside two and a half minutes
from the first toot of the whistle.
A few minutes later Veldey made
one of his true passes to Bill Evans
who showed his appreciation by carry
ing the ball and few Candy fellows
over the line for second touchdown.
On punt out the attempt at goal
failed. In the second period Candy
tried a forward pass, but without first
disposing of Bill Evans who nabbed
the ball out of the air, and behind
splendid interference carried it direct
ly between the goal posts. Another
failure to kick goal left the score Is to
o and the first half was over.
Where The Boys Won!
After a brief intermission the can
tains agreed to divide the second half
into ten minute quarters as train time
was fast approaching. Candy players
primed full of pep by two coaches be-.
tween halves came back in the new
period decidedly strong and prevented
any scoring during the third quarter.
In the last period the effects of loss
of sleep began to be in evidence on the
part of Redwood boys, and they slowed
up for brief time from their previous
! gait Candy punted with the wind for
60 yards and the ball rolled over the
ahne- A Candy man fell on the ball
