Years Defeat

pOnentS so far this season, the Red
wood Falls team milled victory over
Montevedio Saturday, on the enemy's
own grounds with score of SO to O.
Post norton speculation insists the
score should have rounded to an even
so. The team admits tit was slow to
get up full head of steam. But SO
to 0 is the score officially recorded,
and as such affords some satisfaction.
With Jake Stensvad, Corcoran and
Baldwin out of the game, the team
was left in an unbalanced condition
from the first of the week, especially
as the first two were the only full
backs developed up-to-date. After
some experimenting, Ingolf Stensvad
was fitted into the middle section of
the back field as starter for Satur-
days game, with Lindemann and Cap
tain Steele as reserves. For another
experiment Moose Fuller was shifted
to tackle, a position so new to him
as to weaken his usual effectiveness.
The game opened Saturday with
Redwood lined up behind the ball for
a kickoff. Montevedio soon lost the
ball, and in turn held Redwood to
practically no gain in the four downs.
Montevedio showed strong Oh defense
by clean blocking, spilling interfer-
ence and hard tackling. The ball
changed hands quite often during the
first quarter and score seemed lost
until in the very last of the period
Andy Luscher slid over the line. In
the second quarter with Montevedio
forced to punt on her own Is yard
line, the ball was passed too high,
rolled over the line, and when one of
their chaps fell on it, safety with
its two points was added 20 the score.
Again in the last minute of the half
with Redwood in possession of the
ball, Paul Lindemann on a fake play
gobbled up 20 yards for another touch
down. Score at the end of the first
half stood 16 to 0. Only one SUBJ
stitution was made for Redwood dur
ing that half when WEIGH left the
field with a bruised shoulder, and
Stevens took his place at left half.
The second half saw a little snap
coming into Redwood's style of play.
Steele changed position with Stems
vad. Attempts on forward passes
failed for the locals when the ball
had been carried to the 20 yard line,
and Montevedio started up the field.
The quarter ended with the foe in
possession of the ball on first down
8 yards from the goal. During this
quarter John Lamberton took Rey-
nold's place at suarter, Hill replacing
Glassco at left end. Redwood held
splendidly and won the ball on downs.
Repeated long gains, and a neat drive
by Stevens off tackle brought touch
down. An attempt at goal failed. In
the scramble after the next kickoff,
Redwood started again up the field,
lost and was forced back. Attempt
ing to punt, the ball was passed high,
Lamberton falling on it within five
yards of his own goal. Montevedio
took the ball, but failed to penetrate
our defense, and surrendered the ball
on downs. Redwood ploughed straight
up the field for go yards and Ingolf
Stensvad, who had been shifted again
to the backfeld lodged through a
mass of players for another score.
Shortly after the kickoff Redwood
won the ball and Andy Luscher on
straight smash cleared the field for
40 yard run to the line. With 30
seconds left to play Montevedio made
but two plays before the whistle blew.
The teams were quite evenly matched
in weight. Montevedio showed strong
defensive work in the first half, but
yielded both on offensive and defen-
sive during the last half. The favorite
diversion of the enemy seemed to lie
in an effort to lay out our warriors.
In the beginning of the second half
their left end deliberately but under
cover from the officials slugged Lusch-
er, cutting deep cash in the latter's
lip. Several necks were twisted and
muscles viciousiy gouged, but with
no permanent casualties resulting.
From the side lines, however, be it
said that on no other grounds has
Redwood during the past two years
received more courteous and decent
treatment than at Montevedio.
Next Saturday Candy comes over
with reputed good team, determined
to retrieve the defeat of last year.
It will be an exciting game from start
to finish.
