Ely Threatens
Ely came out of its doZe after the
second Eveleth touchdown and came
back with a rush when they recovered
an EVeleth tumble and threatened to
score. The locals got the ball on Eve
leth's Is yard line, attempted several
passes which were incomplete and then
lost the ball on a tumble One of the
passes from Porthan went directly into
the hands Of Banks who was hit before
he touched the ball It was a clear
case Of interference but the officials
ruled otherwise, either not seeing the
violation or disregarding the fact that
there was interference on the play.
Had the pass been complete, Ely would
have scored touchdown as Banks was
only step from the goal A touch
down would have changed the whole
color of the game. The half ended
soon after.
Second Half Even
Ely played Eveleth on even terms
during the last half with neither team
seriously threatening at any time.
Both teams tried numerous passes
during the last two periods with about
so per cent success, but without much
gain in yardage. Eveleth outgained
Ely by small margin in rushing during
this half but the locals made up for it
with some fine kicking by Cook
Eyeleth Outplayed Ely
Eveleth outplayed the locals in yards
gained and counted eleven first downs
to three for Ely. Six of the range
teams first downs came in the first
quarter of play.
Buyuk was the chief ground gamer
for Eveleth with USnik also showing.
The former displayed some fine run
ming ability and an eIusiveneSs that
bothered Ely taokiers. Captain Mar
ucci and Solder showed for the range
team on defense
The Ely team did not show much on
offense except that Riikola did some
good line piunging and pass grabbing
Cook, Banks, c Grahek and Aelmini
played good defensive games. The
local teams offense was somewhat
stopped when Porthan was knocked out
and had to be removed from the game
soon after the second half opened.
