down In Fourth
Holding their opponents at bay
with great defense which allowed
only two first downs Redwood Falls
defeated supposedly strong Olivia
team 80 Thursday morning at the
county fair grounds.
So strong was the Cardinal de-
fense that Olivia was able to cross
the so yard line into Redwood Falls
territory on only two occasions. The
first time was when they intercept
ed Cardinal pass on the last play
of the first half and brought it back
to Redwood Falls Al yard line and
the second and last occasion came in
the closing minutes Of the game on
a long run to the Cardinal 18 yard
stripe, the closest they were able to
get to a score all morning.
The Cardinals handed Olivia a
worse beating than the score indi-
Gates, piling up Is first downs and
threatening to score on several oc-
casions.
The Cards started out similar to
the Montevideo game taking the pig
skin after the kickoff on their own
10 yard line and driving down the
field to the Olivia "a before losing
the ball.
Redwood Falls took slim lead of
two points in the opening period
when Steve 1nglis sent a punt rolling
over the Olivia goal line with half a
dozen Redwood Falls players and the
Olivia safety man after it, the safety
man finally falling on it for safety
after it had eluded the pounces of
the Cardinal pursuers.
It looked like Redwood Falls would
have to be satisfied with two point
victory until Bob Paffrath went over
for a touchdown in the fourth quar-
ter to make the score 80, after
Cardinal scoring threats had been
repeatedly halted.
Most of the yardage picked up by
the Cardinal ball carriers was made
through the line as the two Olivia
ends, Schaplow and Brown spilled
every play that came their way.
They are two of the finest high
school ends that any coach could de-
sire.
Opening the secono half the Car
dinals Launched whitening attack
which carried them to within three
yards of a touchdown. Bill Finn
took the kickoff on his own eight
yard line and brought it back to his
33 yard marker. Inglis followed with
a first down sprint to the 46 and
Paffrath picked up another first
down on the Olivia 40 yard line.
Line bucks and two successful pass
es Inglis to Cornie Kraemer put the
ball on Olivia's five yard line but
there, their line braced and the Car
dinals lost the pig skin on downs on
the three yard line.
The Cards came back again in
scoring position on the Is but an in
tercepted pass nullified the oppor-
tunity. But they were not to be de-
MED.
Shortly before the close of the
third quarter Redwood Falls took the
ball on the Olivia 43 yard stripe and
carried it on over the goal in the
fourth period after steady march,
Paffrath going over from the one
yard line. Inglis' attempt to place
kick for the extra point failed but
the game was as good as won with
Olivia struggling to cross over the
SO yard stripe.
Olivia gave the Cardinals scare
with Brown, an end, taking a short
shovel pass and dashing 38 yards to
the Redwood Falls 29, where Paff-
rath, the last man between him and
the goal line, knocked him out of
bounds. Olivia then pushed the ball
for their second first down to the Is
but the Cardinals defense snapped
out of it's momentary lull for three
plays, held off the Olivia charges for
no gain. On the fourth down Morse,
Olivia's 240 pound tackle dropped
back for field goal but the kick
was low, and Redwood Falls soon
took the ball out of danger.
The Cardinals were in there block
ing and tackling viciously. Nerve
Wolverton, right guard, playing out
of the line on the defense was the
defensive hero of the game. Wolv-
erton was practically in on every
play and in the fourth quarter turned
in a bone crushing tackle which
could be heard all over the fair
grounds. So hard was the impact
that the ball popped out Of the Olivia
ball carriers hands.
