Capt. Mason crept down the
side line next to the crowd and
Lamberton shot him a beautiful
pass, which John caught at his
knees. Simmons, Bookings
quarter, soon bounced upon John
but a big gain of forty yards had
been sliced off. Another pass
formation on a series play,
netted a few yards more. On
the next play a pass to the goal
seemed safe but was recalled.
Redwood had tried the open
game, had won big gains and
was just nosed out of touch
down. On the following fourth
down Hillie dropped back for a
field kick. His drop-kick went
wide by a matter of inches.
Bookings took the ball on their
twenty yard line and moved
few yards up the field when the
whistle blew.
Notes of the Game
Fans on the sidelines, while
of course, hoping for victory,
were immensely pleased with the
game. "The best game between
high schools we ever saw"
seems to be the prevailing opin-
ion.
Captain Severson unintention-
ally amused the side lines before
the game started by assuring
his team mates that eve can
get this small stuff easily" This
was before the game. 1t seemed
as it small stuff amounted to
something, anyhow.
Bookings players claimed the
Redwood team the best they had
met in three years, except the
one from Pierre. That puts Red
wood into big class.
The opposing lines were fair
~ well matched in fighting spir-
it. The visitors, however. out
weighed the local line by at least
six pounds to the man, with
about ten pounds difference to
the man in the backfeld.
Evidently something went
wrong at the beginning with
Brookings fast playing. Lamber-
ton had it all over SINNERS in

Moose Fuller had a lob on h;s

the game, expecting to play onlv
a few minutes. He stuck out
the whole game. Mix, his oppo-

Only one substitution was
made, Glassco taking Kumm's
place at center. These tive CEN
tiers are working hard.
Redwood's line is possessed of
huge strength. Corcoran and
Welsh at tackle, with Moose and
Jim Thompson at guard, as they
lined up Saturday, make stone
wall. John Winter and Herman
Page are in the running close
for guards, all of about equal
strength The local backfeld for
"small stuff" bewildered the Wis
itors. Max Stevens probably
made the most consistent gain
on the attack. The fellows on
the secondary defense backed UP
the line superbly.
Andy Luscher and Max at the
other half with Reynolds be-
tween make strong trio. Andy,
playing always on his nerve,
hits, line or dives into inter-
ference like demon turned
loose.
For defensive playing, the
laurels on both sides are easily
handed to Art Reynolds and
John Mason for Redwood, and
Alton, Brookings' left end. Rey-

again for losses. Mason as
