WHICH luc SCHOOL year opened
the most optomistic football fan
would not have ventured the asser-
ton that the Sank Centre football
squad would cut much Of a swath
in the High School competition
this year.
Coach Harvey had just arrived
from Preston, Mimi, where he had
been successful with light teams.
The squad itself was green, only
two regulars remaining from the
1882 squad.
The new coach started with a
will and soon had the confidence
of his boys. In the few years foot
ball had been feature of the High
School athletic endeavor they had
gathered a smattering of the game
and what it was all about.
Coach Harvey's style of play Is
vastly different from that of Coach
Stub" Olson, of 1882. Mr.. Harvey
Is very partial to the double wing
back formations made famous ana
successful by the Northwestern
University.
Tint Herald editor witnessed a
portion of the opening game of the
season against a heavy, shifty and
fast Albany squad ath the latter
place. The Sank Centre lads fought
valiantly for the first three quart =.
ers, but brute strength finally COL
lected its toll and Sank Centre
went down to defeat.
The following week at Long Prai-
RE ScIk Centre lost to game
they should have won. They were
coming along.
A week later the team surprised
their coach, probably themselves,
and certainly shocked the fans =.
Park Rapids by romping home with
an Is to 0 victory. Their open air
game was beginning to function.
Friday of last week they opened
the home season with the seasoned
Foley team as their opponents.
Sank Centre was outweighed, in ev-
cry position, but they outfought ard
out smarted their adversaries. The
local lads without exception have
learned to take it" and come back
scrapping for more.
The feature of the Foley game
was a beautifully executed pass
from Brown to Arvig for the first
touchdown. Carpenter electrified
the fans by making 6O-yard run
through a broken field for a touch
down. Foley failed to cross Sank
Centres goal, the final score being
II to o. Brown gave an excellent
exhibition of punting, catching Fo-
ley f1at-footed on several occasions.
Tony DeLong, and all of the
players, regulars or substitutes,
were towers Of strength, offensive
ly and defensively.
Tuesday evening the team journ-
eyed to Little Falls where they met
the husky team of the Little Falls
Public schools. This was the first
time they had ever played under
flood lights. They kept their feet
on the ground in this game.
McCracken clicked in Tuesday
evenings game as never before.
This rangy, husky lad has every
thing to make a great football play
er when he finds himself. He caught
a forward pass and ran 60-yard for
a touchdown Tuesday night. The
first touchdown of the game was
scored by bud" Carpenter with i
quarterback sneak from the two
yard line. Little Falls failed to
score. Score II to O.
The second home game of the
season will be played Friday after
noon with the strong Holdingford
team. These lads have always been
plenty tough for Sank Centre to
crack. They defeated Sank Centres
heavier team at Holdingford a year
ago. They have veteran team.
Play will be called at 800 o'clock.
The boys are entitled to a fine
crowd for the fine work they have
been doing under adverse condi-
tons.
