(By Staff Reporter.)
Latest bulletins from the war zone
narrate the steady advance of the Red
wood Falls high school football team
toward a triumphant championship.
In combat Saturday morning de-
cisive victory was won over Sleepy
Eye hordes of raw and green troops.
Sleepy Eye suffered tremendous losses
from the big-head and bullying over
confidence, and when the field of bat
tie had cleared meekly marveled at
the proves of their victors.
1t was a battle royal as in the
Hutchinson game, with the same num-
Der of touchdowns to the credit of
Redwood Falls, but with an addition
of two goal kicks which made the
score AZ to. 0. Sleepy Eye really
ought to have known better than to
presume to slaughter the local team.
Our lads outweighed the enemy by an
average Of Is pounds to the man. It
was our third game whereas the Wis
itors were opening the season. How
ever, the Redwood boys are humbly
grateful to be able to show Sleepy
Eye how to play the game of foot
ball and trusts the boys from the
south may profit greatly by such
weaknesses. On the other hand it
is due the locals to say that under
ordinary conditions they could have
run up higher score.
Window Sees Game
1t was learned in the morning be-
fore the game that nearly all the
team from Window had come over to
see Redwood's style of play and profit
thereby in the coming fray about the
last of October. For that reason Red
wood used very few plays and what
Window learned that morning they
are perfectly welcome to. It is to
be hoped, parenthetically speaking,
that they will learn much more when
they come back to play. No open
work was resorted to and plays and
formations of power were kept I'M
der cover.
Redwood used no more than eight
plays during the game, all of the old
fashioned variety. Again they were
slowed up perceptibly by the senile
movements of their opponents. Red
wood usually plays about three plays
to one of Sleepy Eye, and naturally
this slowness took some of the pep
out of the local lads.
Many Good Plays
Captain Steele losing the toss lined
up his team to kick off. Without paus-
ing to describe the details of play,
be it said that before the end of the
first quarter with the ball carried
down to the goal of the enemy Art
Reynolds deliberately and wisely drove
through center and over the, goal. One
after another in convenient order Art
Corcoran, Andy Luscher, Jake Stems
vad, Ingolf Stensvad, on a tackle
around play, John Mason, on a for
ward pass, and Senter Baldwin after
nabbing clean pass from a Sleepy
Eye end, slipped over. the line and
contributed their mite to the heaping
up score.
/ The backfield was changed slightly
when Jake Stensvad started the game
in Chauncey Welch's place, the latter
out Of the game with bad muscle,
and with no practice in that position,
Jake showed up like veteran. Andy
Luscher again showed his brilliant
form of last year and was personally
responsible for many of the gains.
Cocoran at fullback played the en-
tire game in good form. Senter Bald
win and Max Stevens who form a
part of the light backfeld are devel-
oping into aggressive and speedy
players. All along the line the team
played in good form. Paul Linde-
, mann, who played in his second game
last Saturday shows the earmarks Of
a versatile player and can be shifted
later on to any place on the line.
Both Stewart and Stensvad worked
to advantage on tackle around plays.

at his regular position did some good
