Sank Centre Ties Holdingford

Sank Centre Ties HOldingford
The Sank Centre and Holding
ford football squads met in their
annual encounter last Friday, this
years scrap being waged on the
Sank Centre gridiron at the fair
grounds.
These teams have met on three
previous occasions. The first bat
tie ended with bruised Sank Cen
tire team and Holdingford boasting
of something like 81 points.
The next year the beating was
not so severe but the huskies from
hoidingford had too much football
experience together with their beef
and Drawn for the main Streeters"
to overcome. Result mother jug
handled score.
Last year at Holdingford a veter-
an Sank Centre team went down
fighting but were defeated by a
small margin.
With Sank Centr's green team
this year, with a new coach on the
job, the local fans were not partic-
ularly optomistic over the out
come of Fridays game. .-
The visitors took the field with
a veteran, heavy, fast and shifty
backfield. Sank Centre kicked off
against the wind, and the process
sion started toward Sank Centres
goal. The local youngsters did not
look so good. However, when their
goal was in real danger they Sc
cured the ball on downs and they
started a little march of their own
toward the visitors goal. The
quarter ended with the ball in Sank
Centres possession on Holdings 80
yard line.
Early in the second quarter Sank
Centre punted out of bounds on
Holdingford's five-yard line. Sank
Centre did not look so good in the
second quarter. They held for
down however, on the two-yard
line shortly before the half ended.
Score 90.
Sank Centre opened the second
half by kicking off The Holding
ford backfield made yard after
yard on straight football and scored
a touchdown. The kick for the
extra point was blocked. The per-
iod ended Holdingford 6, Sank Cen
tire O.
& With the beginning of the final
8 period the Sank Centre team, from
end to end, and backfield, gave the
visitors a real demonstration of how
the game should be played. They
clicked beautifully. Their offense
was fast and furious, marching al
most the entire length Of the field
to the eight yard line, with a first
down and goal to go. Three tries
gained some yardage, but three
more yards were needed for the
fourth down and touchdown. The
ball was given to Al Brown. He
hurdled the entire bunch of players
to score.
The courage of the team was
demonstrated on the next play.
Sank Centre hasn't a sure place
kicker, and the wind was against
them. The ball was given to Or
vile Carpenter. His interference
opened a small hole between right
end and tackle and Orville was
over. Score Sank Centre 7, Hold
ingford 6.
Sank Centre kicked off. They re-
covered the ball on their own 25-
yard line. They made one first
down. Then they were on their
40 yard line, third down. The ball
was given to Brown. His inter
ference scattered the Holding de-
tense far and wide, and Brownie
scampered the go yards for a
touchdown without a hand being
placed on him. An attempted place
kick for the extra point failed.
Sank Centre again kicked off to
Holding. They started a desperate
march up the field but were not
going places. They kicked, the ball
going over the goal line. At this
time there was less than two min
utes left to play. Sank Centre was
given the ball on their 20-yard line.
They worked the ball past the 30
yard line. The logical play at this
point was to kick out of danger.
Another play was made, however.
Holdings line was shattered and
Brown made a nice gain, but, he
fumbled and Holding recovered. A
couple of tries did not net yardage.
There was about time left for one
more play. In desperation a for
ward pass was executed, and it was
good and touchdown resulted.
AS the whistle blew goal was
kicked for the extra point, and the
game ended 13 all.
There was disappointment, of
course, to see game apparently
