There is an old saying that "ev-
erythlng comes to him who waits"
The Sank Centre High School af-
ter a lapse of several years intro
duced football three years ago as
a part of the schools athletic ac-
tivities.
The first year Coach Stub" o.
son had difficulty in getting out
enough men to make a squad of
II men.
The egg shaped ball was a mys-
terry to most of them.
Last year more men came out
and the older men on the squad oc-.
cassionally showed flashes of know
ing what to do with the ball when
they got hold of it.
But-they weren't getting any
where in particular.
They were set ups for most every
team they met.
Melrose, their natural rivals in
athletics, took especial delight in
pushing them up and down the grid
iron for numerous and sundry
touchdowns.
The longest lane eventually
turns.
Although several of the best men
were lost by graduation in June,
Coach Olson started with a pretty
nucleus with the opening of this
school year.
They didn't show so well against
Long Prairie in the opening game.
After diligent coaching they be-
gan to tackle low and hard, and
found quite to their surprise that
they got" their man more effec-
titvely and that the chance of in
jury was minimized.
Parkers Prairie was defeated
in a surprise victory. Foley
was taken into camp hand
lily; Holdingford's passing game
bewildered them. Albany followed.
In the meantime Sank Centre, with
Butch Iwinski throwing the ball
to Pat Dubois, Korf, Metzger and
some of the others developed fine
passing attack. Albany was smoth-
cred. Glenwood, veterans, beefy,
rangy and fast, with an uncrossed
goal line came next. They won IL
to 0. Both touch6owns were made
by forward passing. Long and well
executed. Aside from the passing
attack the teams were about even
ly matched. Late in the fourth
quarter Sank Centre had the ball
on Glenwood's three yard line with
three downs to go. This situation
was brought about by blocking two
Glenwood kicks. The first time
Glenwood kicks had been blocked
this year. The Pope county lads
were bewildered. Instead of send
ing Dubois and Kraemer through
center end runs were attempted
with loss. Glenwood regained the
ball on their 12-yard line and the
final whistle blew. a- ..~.
The locals had watched Melrose's
success this year with growing con-
fidence.
They felt it was about time for
the old worm to turn.
It did-and how.
The two teams met on the local
gridiron Friday after a fine parade
of the various branches of the Sem
ior High. The largest crowd ever
attending a football game in this
city was on hand. Many of these
came from Melrose.
Melrose kicked off. After a few
play, Right Half Back Homer
Lemm, fine athlete, recovered the
bail on his 10-yard line. Without
any hesitation he gave the forward
pass signal, and threw beauty for
so yards where Westman caught it
on his own 40-yard line and crossed
Sank Centres goal for a touch
down without a hand being placed
upon him. Sank Centre was caught
fiat footed on this surprise attack.
It was daring play, beautifully ex-
ecuted. The extra point play fail
ed. Score, Melrose 6, Sank Centre
%.
Melrose kicked off to Sank
Centre and a march down the
field began. Iwinski carrying the
ball most of the time behind
beautiful interference and stur-
dy blocking. He soon crossed
the visitors goal. The extra point
attempt failed. Incidentally the
score made by the visitors on the
long forward pass was the, only
time Sank Centres. goal was in
