Glencoe Muffs Many Scoring
Chances by Loose Play;
Cards Miss Chance

cards MISS chance
Crossing the Cardinal line three
times and almost fourth, Glencoe
High school eked out a 60 victory
over Redwood Falls Friday after
noon on the Glencoe gridiron.
The preceding paragraph is not a
misprint but tells the story of how
a big Glencoe team with record Of
no defeats threw away its chances to
score by faulty playing and had to
stage a last minute drive against a
firing bunch of Cardinal gridders,
who fought doggedly all the way, to
pull the contest out of the fire by a
lone touchdown.
Glencoe had enough scoring oppor-
tunities in the first quarter to win
three games but muffed them all.
Shortly after the kickoff Lindner, a
speedy halfback, broke away for 46
yards and crossed the goal line for
the first no-count touchdown. The
play was recalled and the Blue and
White penalized five yards for off
side.
Glencoe then took up where it left
b off and carried the ball down to the
cardinal 81 yard stripe. There Lind
ner threw a pass to Leubke who
stepped over the scoring line but
again the play was brought back and
Glencoe presented Is yard penalty
do q
chances thrown to the winds, but still
that wasn't the end.
The Blue and White punter put a
kick out of bounds on the Redwood
Falls two yard line and Inglis kick
ed back to his own 35, Lindner dash
ing back to the seven yard marker.
The Cardinals put up a stone wall
defense and took the ball on downs
on the two foot line. That was scor-
ing chance number three.
Inglis was again forced to kick
from behind his own goal line and
Glencoe again soon had the ball in
deep scoring territory. With the ball
on the Cardinal 20 yard stripe Lin
dner dropped back and tossed a long
pass to Leubke who caught the pig
skin on the five yard line and with
only one Cardinal tackler barring his
way to a touchdown he whirled and
threw the ball forward over the goal
line to a Glencoe end who dropped it.
The referee declared the pass illegal
and awarded the ball to Redwood
Falls on its own 20 yard line. In all
this time the Cardinals had not made
a running play with the ball, being
forced to punt in dangerous ground
each time they came into possession
of the pigskin.
From then on for the remainder of
the half both teams took turns
smashing through each other, pick
ing up considerable yardage but
neither could get into scoring posi-
ton. The Cardinals advanced as far
as the Blue and White SO yard stripe
after drive from their own 20, Ing
dis and Paffrath doing the brunt of
the ball carrying, but lost the ball on
downs.
The second half started out similar
to the first, Glencoe marching from
its own 27 to the Cardinal %, fun
BILE costing them possession of the
ball. The Redwood Falls boys tight
ened and putting on little show OF
their own, had the Blue and White
> back on their heels stopping their
line charges and compelling them to
of in a.
tion as the game drew near to an end.
Midway in the fourth quarter the
Cardinals made their greatest scor-
ing threat of the game when Joe
Coubal fell on one of the many Glen
coe fumbles, on the enemy 20 yard
stripe. The fast firing Cards tried
their best to push back the opposing
line to score but three thrusts at
Glencoe's forward wall and an at
tempted pass only brought the ball
to the Blue and White IL yard mark
er where they were forced to hand 1t
over on downs.
The Cardinals had given all they
had against a heavier opponent and
had stood the attack of a fast charg-
ing Glencoe backfield to just about
play themselves out.
Glencoe with the ball on its own
: IL yard line then started whitening
attack at the Cardinal line which car
ried them down the length Of the
field to the lone score of the game.
An attempted place kick for the ex-
s'a point was wide.
The Cards, despite the many scor-
ing opportunities afforded the Glen
coe team, played we'll. The backfeld
repeatedly broke through with vici-
Gus tackling to throw the Glencoe
backs for several losses. One of the
cleanest and hardest tackles of the
lay was turned in by young 120
pound Russ Lauterbach, substituting
ate in the game. Gordon Alexander
It right end also did lot of tackling.
