to a scoreless tie last week, Redwood
Falls High school gridders romped
over the Sleepy Eye Indians 20 to 2
on the Redwood Falls fair grounds
gridiron Thursday afternoon before
a fair sized crowd.
At no time during the game was
the Redwood team in danger of losing
the tussle. Led by Dale Byram,
heavy fullback and Bob Paffrath and
behind perfectly functioning line,
the Cardinals marched down the field
several times and pushed the pigskin
across the last marker three times.
All the Redwood counters came in
the first half. The Sleepy Eye team
strengthened in the final two quarters
as many Redwood substitutes were
rushed into the fraeas.
The first Redwood score came in
the first few minutes of play after
the opening kickoff. Byram received
the kick on his 20 yard line and zig
Jagged down the field so yards to
bring the ball to rest on the Indian
30 yard stripe.
In two plays, Byram made eight
yards through center and Steve Ing
lis completed the first down by clip
ping two yards off tackle on spin
ner play. Byram made another first
down when he raced through center
to bring the ball to the Sleepy Eye
ten yard marker.
Byram carried the ball again and
made four yards through center,
Finn made two off tackle, Byram
made two more in the same spot and
then carried it over around end. The
Byram try for point failed.
A Sleepy Eye march which started
from its own 38 yard line ended on
the Redwood Falls Is yard line when
Redwood recovered a tumble. Nc
Connell broke loose in his first chance
at carrying the ball and measured off
20 yards around left end. Byram lost
six yards and Kise kicked.
After the Indians failed to gain in
two attempts they kicked to Finn on
the Sleepy Eye 18 yard line. By-am
made four through center and Finn
failed to gain on a spinner. Kisses
attempt to punt was blocked and the
ball was downed by Sleepy Eye over
the end zone for safety and two
points. Sleepy Eye had received the
kickoff and Kuster, Indian fullback,
had made six yards around end as the
quarter ended.
Six yards were lost around end and
a pass to a Sleepy Eye sleeper gained
nothing. They kicked to Finn on the
Redwood % yard inc. A second Red
wood march ended only after touch
down had been scored.
Byram lost one around end; Finn
made Is on surprise play after Kise
faxed punt; Byram made three
through center carrying the ball to
the Sleepy Eye 27 yard line and made
nine more in two plays which brought
the ball to the Is stripe. Byram COM
pleted first down through center
and Paffrath plowed his way through
center to take the ball to within one
foot of the goal. He took it over on
the next play through center. Pal
mer Kise drop-kicked the extra point.
The final touchdown was made late
in the second quarter after Sleepy
Eye failed to gain and punted to Red
wood. Byram lost two; Paffrath made
three off the weak side of the line;
Finn made - yards on a spinner;
Byram made two through center and
a Byram to Inglis pass gave the
team ID yards and took the ball to
the 26 yard marker. Paffrath failed
to gain; a Byram to Alexander pass
gave eight yards to the Cards; Byram
carried the ball nine yards to the one
yard line and the team was pe1alized
five yards for off side. Finn failed
to gain off-tackle; Byram made four
through center and Paffrath complet-
ed the touchdown on a dash through
center. Paffrath threw lateral pass
to Finn to make the extra point. The
half ended as Redwood kicked to
Sleepy Eye.
The second half was played on
more even terms although Redwood
held the advantage in gaining yard
age. The Sleepy Eye plays were stop
per by the perfectly functioning Red
wood line and only once did the In
dians get within the Redwood 20 yard
line.
Ralph Tenney and Roy Hardy, re-
gulars, were not in suits and two
other regulars, Corbett and Palmer
Kise played little of the game. Corbett
injured a rib in the Glencoe tilt and
Kise is recovering from recent head
operation.
Erwin Smith, Redwood captain,
again stood out in the Redwood de-
tense and was ably helped by Wally
Lauterbach and Gordon Alexander at
the TANKS and Mervale Wolverton at
guard. Besides Paffrath and Byram,
Finn, Steve Inglis and Mcconnell
were impressive as ball carriers.
