Manchester bulk and Redwood hae
returned the ball SO yards, where th>
oval passed to the enemy. After
few gains pass out-of-bounds trans
ferred the ball again to the blood
thirsty Radwoodians, and another re-
turn trip was run off on schedule

Steele on a shift play.

down TO Redwood Il yard line where
a drop kick was attempted, but failed
by few fortunate feet. Redwood in
thankful spirit took possession OF
the leather of contention and few
prodigious efforts carried the scene
Of action to the middle Of the field.
John Mason grabbed pass for an
other 10 yards, but Manchester re-
fused further gain and punt was
called.
The enemy failing to penetrate the
thicket Of arms and legs generously
yielded the ball by allowing for
ward pass to be intercepted. Red
wood made downs and then lost on
pass. The half ended after the Maca-
lester plungers had plunged the line
for two successive first downs.
Second Half
For several minutes after Stems
vad had kicked off at the opening Of
the third period, the game progressed
with routine regularity after the see
saving style of the preceding half.
Abrahamson for the collegians tore
off nice gain on a recovered punt,
and another backfeld man got away
soon for a neat gain off the end, re-
lieving the grasping tension Of the
crowd by stopping on Redwood's 3
yard line.
TIE crowd punched along the line
to view the probable remains as the
ball would be carried over the line.
Redwood not yet corpse took an
other lease on life and held. Before
the frantic charges of Redwood's for
ward the Manchester line withered
and the man with the ball stopped
before he reached the point of scrim-
mage. On the fourth down in an
attempt to circle the end Manchester
interference lost its football head
openly tackled Stensvad and Mason,
thus, and only thus, permitting their
; runner to dodge over the line and
| between the posts. In spite of bluff
and unladylike indignation on the
part of the Manchester hosts the Of
ficials recalled the ball and with a
| due penalty presented the ball 10
Redwood. Getting out of danger quick
ly Redwood kept possession of the
! ball as the period closed.
Another thrilling moment came
shortly after the last fifteen minutes
opened. With the ball on Macalester's
40 yard line, Roger Dolliff on a fake
craddled the ball under his arm and
got away or what looked a clear field.
A safety man spoiled the prospecte l
touchdown. and Redwood tried to make
the score by straight football from
! the 10 yard line. A little bad judg-
ment was shown here when a pass
instead Of a drop kick was called for
and Johnnie Mason trying to keep
within the end lines could not re-
tain the pass. Manchester got the
prize oval on the 20 yard line and
also out of danger Steady grind
ing of both teams kept the BAH away
from the goal until the whistle blew.
Thus did the game end with the as
founding reality of Redwood's "higb
school kids" having held full-fedged
college aggregation.
Notes of The Game.
No the crowd didn't mind the 80
cents, possibly with the exception of
I three automobilists who coming in
late refused to pay the price. 1t is
rumored that these men came to the
game in Ford
Moose Fuller was sick-a-bed the
/ day before the game. If Moose had
really been whole and sound, Red
wood could have won easily. As
was Moose played an impregnable
position at guard, and delighted the
side line with repeated embraces of
the Manchester quarter before the lat
ter had released the oval.
Captain Hunt of Manchester regu-
lar team was obliged to shift from
tackle to guard to stop Moose. How
ever he left the game at the end of
the first half. complaining of enough
/ football for one day, He said Moe
