Splendid Spirit And Pluck Shown
By Redwood Boys Team
Work
The football game at Window
last Saturday was a real exhibit
ton of the kind Of stuff of which
Redwood football players are
made. Out-weighed by ten
pounds to the man, playing on
a foreign field with unsympa-
thetic sideliners, beside being
scored on in the first four min
utes of play, the Redwood boys
showed genuine football spirit
and tied the score in the last
eight minutes of play.
Dope was all in favor of VIM
dom. It was not a question, in
the minds of the Window sup
porters, of winning the game,
but rather one of how big
the score would be. Any one
who had a thought that Red
wood might score on the home
team quickly changed his mind
when he saw the size Of the
Redwood players. One man even
went so far as to ask if our
right end was our mascot. Be
it said to the credit Of Wilbur
Lamberton (the right end) that
he soon changed this mans
opinion after the game began.
Time after time the interfer-
ence of their heavy back field
was piled all in a heat by the
mascot" and the man with the
ball was nabbed by another man,
Game Peculiar
The game was peculiar in that
both touch downs were made on
exactly the same play, an in
tercepted forward pass, from al
most the same spot in the field,
and behind the same goal. Red
wood received the ball on the
kickoff and advanced it to their
own forty yard line. They
started Immediately with open
work, and exactly four minutes
after the whistle blew at the
beginning Of the game, a pass
by Daskam to Lamberton was
intercepted by Severson, left
half, and he ran down a clear
field forty yards for a touch
down. But here's where the
spirit of the Redwood team
showed itself. Completely out
distanced, with scarcely a chance
of catching the runner, the
Redwood boys kept right on 60
ing and two of them tackled
Severson behind the goal line.
The result of good, consistent,
coaching here showed itself;
Redwood High doesn't know the
meaning of "give up" The ball
was brought out for a goal kick
and Window added another
point, making a total Of seven
points.
A Steady Grind
The remainder of the first
half was a hard grind, with the
ball zig-zagging up and down
near the center Of the field. One
other time, after a successful
end run, Window brought the
ball to within one yard of Red
woods goal line. But all their
smashing was to no avail. Red
woods line he'd like a stonewall
and Window lost the ball on
downs. Daskam then punted out
Of danger.
AS a whole the Redwood line
outplayed their opponents. Time
after time our guards and tack
les got through almost before
the backfeld Of the opposition
got started. Yackel also made
several good tackles to the sur
prise of the opposing center who
couldn't keep track of him. The
half ended with a score of Win
dom Z, Redwood 0.
Third Quarter Weak
The third quarter was the
weakest quarter for the Red
wood team. The heavy backfield
of the Window team had been
coached during the intermission
and came on the field evident
ly with the idea of running up
a big score. Several times they
tore through our line, but never
came within striking distance
of the goal. The boys held we'll
and fought hard. The ball zig
Jagged up and down the field
