Wind0m Wins Game in First
Few Minutes Play; Contest
Becomes More Even

Window won with score of
IA to 9. That's about all that
needs to be said in post norton
review of the game played on
the local gridiron last Saturday.
It was a battle royal and one
that would delight the heart of
any fan Of earlier days when
straight football was all the
fashion. With very little varia-
ton, both teams resorted to di-
rect attacks on the line, in spite
of WINDOWS early success in the
game with long forward passes.
In view of the style of attack
used and the ground gained the
game was in every respect Red
woods, at least after the first
| period.
Jinx Gets Redwood
All through the game some
sort of a ink defied Redwood
and gave the all vantage points
to the opponents. In the last
half of the game after Window
had kicked off, only once did the
ball get over the fifty yard line,
and then only on a punt by Win
dom near the end of the game.
Window scored within the first
two minutes of play by inter-
cepting a pass and running fifty
yards for the line. A few min
utes later, a criss-cross forward
pass gave the second score and
then Window was through with
the scoring.
In the second period on ser
les of terrific rushes Redwood
came within the twenty-five
yard line and on a fake play
Lamberton shot a pass to Mason
4 just over the line. A punt-out
was made and the goal kicked.
In the third period, Redwood
came back with irresistible drive
and crashed through the heavy
Window line until in striking
distance of the goal when a
tumble lost a beautiful chance
to plunge over the line. Win
dom didn't get very far with
the ball until they lost it on
downs and again came the on
rush to the goal. Window put
up a stonewall defense and held
for a disputed touchdown. With
the officials unable to agree, an
other down was given, but Red
wood could not penetrate the
bulk of opposing beef and again
!, the loss of the ball put crimp
in the indomitable spirit Of the
locals. Regaining the ball later
a forward pass was attempted,
which Window secured behind
the line, but before the player
) could make squirt to the open
! field he was downed and safe
: ty recorded with its two points
: in favor of Redwood.
Window Lucky
During the last two periods
J was the ball not only held in
side the center OF the field, but
! almost constantly was it within
: WINDOWS thirty and twenty
) yard line. Time and again, Red
wood smashed to within strik
ing distance Of the coveted line
y only to lose on a tumble or tx
. be held for downs. Surely I
! hoodoo was interfering with thu
q destiny of the local aggregation
Coach Mulligan was heard tt
= tell his team that they were thu
2 luckiest team he had ever seen
! meaning that in the greater por
: lions of the game they were fal
outclassed.
Il AS a matter of fact Windon
. had everything in favor of win
! ming. Two weeks ago the Who'll
;, Window team visited along tn
i sidelines and watched Redwoo'
uncork most of its open play
against Mankato. Last Satul
day they knew very readily an
q play, especially a forward pas
y which the locals attempted, an
y their defense was therefore il
vulnerable.
After the game, members
the Window team were heard
comment very favorably upo
the way the crowd kept off tx
es field and the general spirit
i, good craftsmanship shown /
u. the sideliners.
