Aerial Route Wins for Glenwood
Wednesday Sank Centre met the
fast going Glenwood squad on the
local gridiron. T.
The visitors arrived in the city
with the record of not having had
their goal line crossed for two
years. They are heavy, rangy,
know their football and carry plen-
ty of scoring punch.
The most ardent admirer Of the
locals did not hope they could win.
Glenwood has had a strong team
for many years. It was generally
felt that if Sank Centre could hold
the Norsemen from the Pope coun-
ty seat to four touchdowns they
would make a creditable showing.
With the wind at their back the
visitors kicked off. In a few plays
they had the ball on Sank Centres
courtyard line.
What happened. Ye gods. Sank
Centre stopped them cold. Butch"
was forced to kick on the first play.
The ball was downed on Sank Cen
tres 2S-yard line.
A first down followed. The visit
ors, aggravated because they had
been held for downs by a team
they had held cheaply, were anx-
ious to chalk up a touchdown. The
result was a tumble. Sank Cen
tire regained the ball on their Is
yard line. A poor kick gave the
visitors the ball, only to lose it
again on another tumble on the %
yard line Sank Centre could not
gain consistently and the visitors
recovered the ball. They failed to
gain, kicking over the goal line on
the fourth down. AS the quarter
ended Sank Centre had the ball on
their own 2O-yard line, first down
and 10 to go. The two teams played
on about even terms until a min
ute before the end of the first half.
Glenwood scored on two beautiful
passes starting from the 5O-yard
line. They negotiated the addit-
ional point by fake kick pass for
nation. The half ended Glenwood
6, Sank Centre 0.
The third quarter was played on
about even terms. Early in the
fourth Glenwood negotiated an
other pass good for IS yards and a
touchdown.
Sank Centre got the ball, worked
it well down into midfield. The
visitors after three unsuccessful
tries for yardage attempted to
kick. Sank Centre was through
like a shot and blocked, regaining
the ball on the victor's 25-yard line.
They could not advance successful
ly. Glenwood failed to gain. The
quarter back dropped back to al
most his goal line to kick. Again
the kick was blocked. Sank Gen.
tire was in possession of the ball on
the visitors 4-yard line. The first
play was an attempted out OF
bounds netting two yards. The
visitors goal line was in real dang
ed for the first time in two years.
Sank Centre, instead of going thru
centre for the distance attempted
line plays which cost yardage. The
visitors were plainly worried. Just
before the final whistle blew they
recovered the ball on downs and
kicked out of danger.
The coach of the Glenwood team
congratulated Sank Centre on the
fine showing they had made. He
said that for the first time this sea-
son the opposing team had blocked
an attempted kick by his team.
While Sank Centre lost, they
gained some fine experience and
held the fastest scoring aggrega-
ton in the conference to two touch
downs.
These were both made as the re-
suit of three finely executed
passes. A tricky and well executed
aerial attack told the difference in
the playing ability of the two
teams.
Friday of next week Sank Cen
tire will play it's annual homecom-
ing game. The natural rivals, Mel
rose, will be the opponents. The
locals have a couple of scores to
settle with this outfit.
Judging from the records of the
two teams this year they are very
evenly matched. It should be
corking game.
