We've got the Hoodoo."
"The lynx is captured"
''We got their goat"
Such were the comments one
heard after the Madison game
last Saturday when Redwood
high school defeated the Madi-
son contingent 20 to IL. The
superstitious among us waited
in suspense during most Of the
game to see if the lynx really
would put in an appearance and
give the long end of the score
to the visiting team. For Fate,
or Fortune or that little green
devil, Just My Luck, has held
sway in the past and given Madi-
son the victory on the Redwood
field and Redwood the victory on
the Madison field. But greater
than either of the three above
named personages was Determ-
ination. And Determination won
the game.
First Half
The day could not have been
more ideal nor the players in
better shape. Everyone was ON
his toes when the first whistle
blew and Madison kicked off to
Redwood. Redwood confined it.
self to straight football, and by
hard line plunging brought the
ball within Madison's BOYD. line.
By a hard smash Daskam broke
through the Madison line and
ran through the whole team
nearly 80 yards for the first
touchdown of the day. Mason
failed at goal, leaving Madison
chance to win the game with
one touchdown and goal kick if
she succeeded in holding Red
wood to no further gains.
In the second quarter the lynx
put in his appearance. Driven
to their own 20-yard line Red
wood was making a desperate
attempt to advance the ball down
the field when direct pass to
the half back resulted in a cost
ly tumble. The bail was kicked
by a Madison player towards
Redwood's goal line. For a while
it lay out there entirely away
from the scene of action, until
a Madison player got his lamps
on it and scooped it up on the
run for a touchdown. He was
chased and tackled by Yackel
back of the Redwood goal line.
A fluke play entirely yet it net
ted Madison 6 points. They
failed to forge a lead by fail
ing at goal, while the little green
devil, Just My Luck, chuckhd
up his sleeve at both teams.
But here's where Determine
ton came to the surface. Red
wood was out for that Hoodoo,
and before the quarter was over
they had him on the run when
they pushed the oval over for
another touchdown. A success
full goal kick left the score at
the end of the first half, Madi-
son 6, Redwood 13.
Second Half
Redwood received on the kick
off and started a gain with
straight football. Madison re-
ceived Redwood's punt on their
30-yard line. Then they un-
corked series of as neat for
ward passes as have been seen
on the local field this season.
The inability Of the Madison
passer to place his passes was
the only thing that kept them
from making some long gains,
for Redwood was off it's guard
and failed to break them up. As
it was Madison marched down
the field to a touchdown by
means of successful forward
passes. Her chance to tie the
score again was lost as the ball
on the goal kick hit the bar be-
tween the posts and bounded
back into the field. The quar-
ter ended with the score IL to
13, with Redwood leading.
Excitement was tense at the
beginning of the fourth quarter
and everyone was ready for the
real thrill of the day that came
| in the last period. After q lew
line smashes in which Yackel
made some fine gains, Scott, the
fleet half back, got away for a
wide end run Of 80 yards to the
