II to 7 spells the victorious score
for Redwood Falls in the game at
Madison last Saturday. A mixed
score it is, as it includes two counts
on a safety, three on place kick
and six on touch down. The game
was hard fought and every point was
won deservedly.
The Biggest Game
The Madison game was the biggest
game from many standpoints played
> by Redwood Falls this season. In
the first place there was the bitter
memory of last years game when
Madison walked over the local team
for the first half with a final score
of IL to 6. That disgrace had to be
wiped out. Again there was big
bunch of side-line supporters, who had
braved cold cloppy day and some
expense to see their team win and
these could not be disappointed. The
special train over the St. Louis was
a great success. About eighty peo-
pie took advantage of it, when the
' final roll was called at North Red
wood Saturday morning.
The victory over Madison also put
another cinch into the claims of Red
wood Falls for championship of West
ern Minnesota.
First Quarter
AS the teams lined up on the field
Saturday afternoon Redwood Falls
seemed to have little advantage in
weight. Captain Westby won the toss
and soon after Captain Rogers kicked
OFF to Madison. On some clever shift
plays Madison made their downs twice
and then lost to Redwood Straight

field to within three yards of Madi-

f. sders held Redwood for downs.
y istby from behind the line fumbled
the ball on a poor pass from his
c, ser and was tackled in his tracks
for a safety Score to in favor of
Redwood Falls.
Last of First Half
For the fest of the half the teams
seesawed and zigzagged across the
'teld without a score Redwood Falls
mad another chance for touch down
within four yards of the goal but
found the Madison line too invulner-
able for gain. The Redwood line
was unable to change successfully.
Third Quarter
In the second half Corcoran substi-
tuted for Dolliff at left guard. and
Stevens went in at Luschers place at
right half. Had Meyers made about
five yards on the kick off. Old style
smashed boosted Redwood down the
field for large gains. With the ball
in the middle of the field several min
utes were taken out for Geary's Madi-
! sons pluckly right end 1t was
thought he would be unable to play
further, but his grit and the fact that
Madison had no substitute on the
field, finally put him in shape and
the game continued.
Within twenty yards of the goal,
and on the fourth down, Veldey tr;eo
drop kick but the ball a too
slippery to make the attempt good.
Madison started up the field but was
soon forced to punt. Redwood again
started down the field and when in
striking distance, Captain Rogers
called for a place kick. The play
worked perfectly and his own boot had
brought up the score 8 points. Madi-
Nson again received, but soon gave the
ball to Redwood who carried it to
within twenty yards of the line just
before the third quarter ended.
Last Quarter.
In the first play of the last period
John Mason swung around end for q
neat gain and on the next signal Neil
Stevens plunged through Madison's
line for Redwood's touchdown and an
. attempt at goal failed.
Madison received the ball and be-
gan final fight for life. With off
tackels, smashes, end runs and forward
pass or two this team ripped off big
gains. Had Meyers intercepted for
ward pass and the teams started up
the field again. Madison on getting
the ball again was held for downs and
punted. Redwood was then held for
downs, within its own ten yard line
Veldey was forced to punt from be-
tween the goal posts, and for the
first time this Season had his kirE
