9 CARDS PLAY FINAL !
GAME AT TRACY.
Redwood Falls Walks Over
Sleepy Eye in 26-6 Win
Tuesday Night

One of the finest high school lines
ever developed in Redwood Falls will
make its swan song charge for the
Cardinals when they meet Tracy
Monday afternoon in the seasons
finale on the latter's field.
The entire forward wall from end
to end in addition to a capable field
general, Bill Finn, will be lost
through graduation and will leave a
hole a mile wide for Coach Obermey-
er to fill next year.
The Cardinals after a slow start
have come along fast taking four vic
tories out of the last five games with
the great defensive and offensive
work of the line instrumental in the
Cardinals success. Stopped at the
opening of the season such good ball
carriers as Steve Inglis, Bob Paffrath
and Bill Finn have been turned into
scoring threats eacn time they lay
their hands on the pigskin by the fast
hard charging of line averaging
100 pounds, to clear the way for
them.
The linemen who will see final ac-
tion in the Tracy game are Cornie
Kraemer and Gordon Alexander,
ends; Joe Coubal and Hills Slaymak-
er, tackles; Leroy Hardy and Captain
Nerve Wolverton, guards and Lloyd
Melges, center.
Ripping through their opponents
line almost at will for huge gains,
the Redwood Falls Cardinals ran
roughshod over the Sleepy Eye In
dians under the flood lights Tuesday
night to score four touchdowns for a
26-6 victory, their third consecutive
win.
The supremacy of the Redwood
Falls team was apparent throughout
the game and Coach Obermeyer test
ing practically every man on the
squad. The substitutes performed
brilliantly holding the Indians to
their lone score, and pushing over six
points of their own.
Characteristic of their recent play
the Cardinals started the game by
taking the ball on the kickoff and
driving down the field in sustained
drive for their first counter. With
the pigskin on their own 80 yard
stripe Paffrath and Inglis carried the
ball around the ends and through the
line for long gains, with Steve
scampering II yards for the first six
points. He also converted the extra
point.
Penalties nullified other opportuni-
ties to score in the first quarter, but
in the second period Bill Finn tuck
edSthe pigskin under his arm and
dashed As yards over the. Indians
goal line to bring the score to 1870,
the try for extra point failing.
A promising prospect for next
year was uncovered with the scoring
of the third touchdown, in the person
of Clarence Discher. Discher insert
ed as substitute pulled one of the
prettiest touchdown runs of the eve
ming covering the ground like deer
with 80 yard dash, Alexander con-
verting the extra point and making
the score 300. Discher also made
several other good gains.
Sleepy Eye made its lone touch
down in the third quarter against a
Redwood Falls line of substitutes but
Bob Paffrath came back with a 35
yard run to complete the Cardinals
scoring for the night.

The Cardinal line which. has been
the main reason why Redwood Falls
has proved formidable aggregation
in recent games kept the Indian ball
carriers bottled up and it was only
against the substitutes that Sleepy
Eye could gain any ground and even
AGAINST them nothing annreciahle
