COurtesies Shown
In the most frantic and wild
fight yet exhibited this season,
Redwood Falls flashed its way
to victory over the Faribault
team on the latter's field last
Friday afternoon. The day was
clear and cold enough to create
real football snap. A north
westerly wind threatening dur
ing the earlier part of the day
|subsided enough by the time the
game had begun to make for
ward passing a safe game. Along
the side lines nearly twenty
friends of the team coming from
both Redwood and Carleton Col
lege at Mortified, were vocifer-
ously urging the team to victory.
First Half
The teams lined up, Redwood
to receive the kickoff at about
1926. For the first quarter both
forward lines stone-walled, and
each team several times were
forced to punt. In the second
quarter with the ball in Red
woods possession on the As yard
line, a pass was shot out to Ma
son who caught it 20 yards be-
yond the line of scrimmage, and
by brilliant run after shaking
off tacklers, lodging and squirm-
ing through a broken field, and
stiff arming the Faribault safe
ty, made the goal for the first
score of the game. Glassco
kicked goal.
Faribault then chose to kick
off. A few minutes later Red
wood brought the ball within
striking distance of the goal
when on fake play, Mason
again nabbed a pass and scored
! on a punt out. The goal was
missed.
