A few smashes, pass over ths
line to Corcoran, plus a few more
smashes right through the waverine
Manchester bulk and Redwood hat

few gains a pass out-of-bounds trans
ferred the ball again to the blood
thirsty Radwoodians, and another re-
turn trip. was run off on schedule
time, feature being a long pass to
Steele on shift play.
TIE second quarter had but started
when Manchester CT rcd 2 ci1zir for
a transfer of the b.. Tl.oy showed
down to Redwood's II yard line where
a drop kick was attempted, but failed
by few fortunate feet. Redwood in
a 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 a 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 recovered punt,
and another backfeld man got away
soon for neat gain off the end, re-
lieving the grasping tension of the
crowd by stopping on Redwood's 8
yard line.
The 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
fcials recalled the ball and with a
due penalty presented the ball to
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 fake
craddled the ball under his arm and
got away on what looked clear field.
A safety man spoiled the prospecte
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 pass
instead of 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 ball away
from the goal until the whistle blew
Thus did the game end with the as
founding reality of Redwood's "high
school kids" having held full-fedged
college aggregation.
Notes of The Game.
| No the crowd didn't mind the sc
cents, possibly with the exception OF
| three automobilists who coming ir
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 has
really been whole and sound, Red
wood could have won easily. As
was Moose played an impregnabl,
position at guard, and delighted tn,

the Manchester quarter before the lat

Captain Hunt of Manchester regu

tackle to guard to stop Moose. How
