COACH WELL PLEASED
Game Shows Splendid Develop
ment on Part of Local Boys;
Seasons Prospect Good

Last Saturday afternoon in a
hard fought contest on the Slee-
py Eye gridiron the Sleepy Eye
high school team held the Red
wood team to a tie Of II to IL.
Not in all of last years play
1 ing did the local boys exhibit
such real football playing as in
this game. Every boy who
played was on the job from
whistle to whistle. The line did
some real plunging, completely
out-playing the Sleepy Eye line.
The guards and tackles time af-
ter time opened big holes for
the backs to charge through.
The boys in the backfield picked
their holes we'll and charged like
veterans, often dragging half
the opposing team after them.
The Player.
Warner has made a decided
improvement over his playing of
last year. He is developing what
coaches call football sense
the ability to use his head in
picking holes and making end
runs. Capt. Yackel is surely the
man for full back. Though out
weighed by his opponent, Klein
schmidt, he played circles all
around the heavy backs and line
of Sleepy Eye. Lamberton has
gained the weight during the
past year which he lacked last
year to hold down the pilot po-
sition. There is probably no
more consistent player ON the
squad than Wilbur. He ought,
with the quality Of coaching he
| is getting, to develop into a
strong quarterback during the
next two years. Mason and
Hauck demonstrated that their
prefer position is end. Mason
especially proved a good ground
gamer by spearing long forward
passes in the most difficult
places. Melges at center is bound
to be world beaten. He has
the build, the strength and the
head for a strong center. The
other line men almost without
Exception outplayed their oppo-
nents, and what they lack in ex-
perience they make up in fight
Opening.
/ Sleepy Eye kicked to Redwood
in the opening of the first quar-
| ter, and received the ball on 9
tumble by Redwood within Red

punt out of danger. By stroke
Eof good luck Sleepy Eye blocked
YackePs punt back of his oWr
goal line, but missed chance

| the ball for a touch back. Sleepy
Eye here let the game slil
| through their fingers for Red
| wood took the ball on their owr
/ 2O-yard line and plowed dowr
the field for touch down. The
scare Sleepy Eye had just ad
ministered seemed to be the re
lquired incentive for Sleepy Eye
never had chance to score dur
ing the remainder of the frs
half. Mason attempted to kicl
| goal but the wind was agains1
| him and the goal failed.
