Improved Redwood Team Stops
Plays in Danger Zone to
Stave Off Defeat

Stave Oh Defeat
A line that stood firm on the brink
of the goal, greatly improved run
ming attack and punter who fire.
quently booted out of danger clashed
with the powerful Glencoe team at
the fair grounds Friday and turned
what was expected to be walk-away
for the visitors into scoreless tie. :,
The O to 0 score is an accurate
comparison of the strength of the
teams. Both were brilliant offensive
ly in midfield. Both made up for their
defensive weakness in mldfield by
presenting stonewall when their
goals were threatened.
Byram was outstanding in the ball
carrying department. Kise was i'm
pressive as a punter, Paffrath shone
on defense and Finn picked the plays
in an expert manner. They showed
more signs of working together than
in any previous game.
Smith was outstanding on his side
Of the line and with Wally Lauter-
bach and Wolverton at end and
guard, managed to smother most of
the plays around that wing. The 9th
er side of the line allowed more gains
but it had a happy faculty for
strengthening when absolutely neces-
sary and Glencoe plays that gained
consistently in midfeld were bottled
up when within the ten stripe.
The game started in a manner to
convince fans that their convictions
on the final outcome were well found
ed. Byram kicked over the goal line,
Glencoe took the bali on the 20 yard
line and in two plays gained II yards.
After two plays they punted to
Redwood's 35 yard line. After two
plays into the line, Kise attempted to
kick, fumbled, recovered the ball and
dashed through the surprised line for
81 yards. Redwood fans went wild.
On the next play Byram made five
and fumbled. The bali rolled ahead
of him and Finn recovered on the
Glencoe IL yard line. The fans went
wilder but on the next play the luck
broke and Glencoe recovered Red
woods third straight tumble.
The snappy Glencoe backield which
mixed deception with power plays
then started another brilliant march,
making four first downs before they
were forced to punt. The ball rolled
over the goal.
Not to be outdone, Finn and By
ram clipped off three first downs be-
fore the quarter ended and fourth in
the early second quarter when Byram
passed to Kise for II yards.
The remainder of the game was
much like the first quarter with both
teams marching to within yards of
the goal line only to be stopped. Glen
GOES strongest threat came late in
the third quarter when they made
first down on the Cardinal five yard
stripe.
Wuethrich made a yard off tackle
and Petrich made one around end to
place the ball on the three yard line
as the quarter ended. At the west
goal, Paffrath broke through and
threw Wuethrich for one yard loss
and broke up an attempted pass on
the fourth down and the ball was lost
on downs. Kise kicked out of dang
er and when Corbett tackled the re-
ceiver, he FUNDED and Redwood re-
covered. A march was started by the
Reds which ended on the Glencoe 38
yard marker when Kise fumbled.
Glencoe came near scoring again in
the final frame when it made first
down on the Redwood 10, yard stripe.
Petrich made eight around end; Wue-
thrich failed to gain through center
and Luebke placed the ball on the
one yard stripe around end. The ball
was lost when Wuethrich failed to
make yards through center.
A few minutes later Hardy and Cole
tackled the Glencoe safety man on
punt and Hardy recovered the ball
when he fumbled. Cole was injured
on the play. Byram made a sweep
ing end run we'll into Glencoe terri
tory but the play was called back be-
cause backfield was in motion. A By
ran to Kise pass made % yards and
put the ball on the Glencoe 20 yard
line; Byram made three around end
and Finn lost yard as the game
ended.
