first down on the II yard line. Disc
her made two yards at tackle and
Paffrath six on a smash through cen
ter to bring the pigskin to the four
yard mark from where Paffrath car
ried it over on the next play for six
points. The extra point attempt fail
ed.
The Cardinals came back in a
threatening mood again in the initial
period but an intercepted pass with
the ball on Tracy's 25, which was re-
turned to the Tracy As, nullified the
opportunity and set the stage for the
latter's first score. Two first downs in
succession brought the ball to the
Redwood Falls 33 yard stripe and on
the first play Culp, Tracy quarter
snatched a pass on the 25 and evad-
ing several would be Cardinal tack
lers, reversed his field and raced over
for touchdown.
After an exchange of punts long
pass put Tracy on Redwood Falls 20
yard line. A series of line plunges,
with Brecht, fullback, going over
from the four yard line brought the
count to 1876 against the Cardinals.
Redwood Falls came back strong in
the third quarter and kept the ball
mostly in Tracy territory. After a
drive from their own 48 yard line to
the Tracy % had been halted on
downs, Nerve Wolverton pounced on
tumble on the 26 yard marker and
the Cardinals knocked at the touch
down door.
Discher scooted around end for 20
yards but as he was tackled hard he
fumbled and Tracy recovered on their
own six yard line. A poor punt went
out of bounds on their own Is and
with Discher taking the ball once and
Paffrath twice the oval was pushed to
the five yard marker. Paffrath then in
three plays slashed over the goal to
tie the score. Steve Inglis was sent
into the game at this moment to try
to convert the extra point but his
kick was low.
Tracy then threw long, short and
lateral passes all over the lot but the
closest they could get to score was
the Cardinal 20 yard line. Redwood
Falls started a march toward another
score from their own 33 yard stripe
but costly tumble in the Tracy ter
ritory booted the opportunity.
Credit should be given to the work
of Bob Paffrath upon whose should
ers was thrown the major portion
of the ball carrying duties along
with the passing and punting, due to
the absence of Steve Inglis. Discher,
first year man, showed what can be
expected Of him next year after a lit
tie polishing, as he is an elusive run
ner and the fastest backGeld man on
the squad. The line finished strong in
it's final game for the Cardinals and
kept the Tracy running attack fairly
we'll under control.
Missing from next years team will
be Cornie Kramer and Gordon Alex
ander, ends; Joe Coubal and Hills
Slaymaker, tackles; Nerve Wolverton
and Leroy Hardy, guards; Lloyd Mel
ges, center and Bill Finn, quarter
back. g., 'tGiIF'S 8not So
Glancing over the now completed
season we find that the Cardinals op-
ened by dropping two games in row
to New Ulm, 1916 and Window 1870,
two teams which at present they
could probably beat if given the op-
portunity to play again. The Cards
then followed by upsetting Marshall
with 60 win and the next week los
ing to a finished eleven, Glencoe, 60.
Three victories in a row were then
rung out against Montevideo, 26-9,
Olivia, 80, and Sleepy Eye, 26-6, with
Mondays final game 1912 tie. In
the scoring column, the Cardinals
chalked up "a points against their op-
ponents' 60.
In the matter of individual scoring
Bob Paffrath finished the season with
a total Of 40 points, having scored
eight touchdowns and one extra
point. Steve Inglis made two touch
downs and two extra points for IA
points and Ralph Tenney, who was
out most of the season, Clarence Dis
cher and Bill Finn, one touchdown
each, Gordon Alexander converting
one extra point. Redwood Falls other
two points were made on safety in
the Olivia game.
