Afternoon

Inc booming guns OF the Sauk
Centre Maroon and White gridders
sounded loud and long on last Fri
day az they blasted their way to
victory over Long Prairie with the
final score at 20 to Z. The Long
Prairie lads were certainly no
lighter than the locals, and had no
greener material; the Sank Centre
lads outplayed them in every de-
partment.
The locals kicked off to Long
Prairie and they on their first at
tempts lost the ball on downs. We
worked the ball up the field to the
midway stripe, and there they took
possession Of the ball. Forced to
kick they punted over the goal for
a touchback and the ball became
our possession at the 20 yard line.
We punted and recovered our own,
and capitalizing on the break the
boys blasted their way up the field
to the seventy yard line. Two dou-
BILE passes, a forward and a lateral,
Melted ten yards, and Graham and
Decree ripped off the remaining
distance to the seventy yard line.
Deep in Long Prairie territory the
locals lost the ball on the twenty
yard line. On that stripe the locals
held the Prairie lads until the quar-
ter ended. Long Prairie opened the
quarter with a punt which rolled
out Of bonds on the local forty yard
line. Sank Centre started q drive
with Decree going around end for
several yards, and Graham roaring
through the line to complete first
down. A short pass over the line Of
scrimmage to Keldahl picked up
several yards, and with a steady
drive of running plays and short
passes mixed in the locals swarm
ed to the Prairie four yard line
with first down and goal to go. On
the first play a short pass to Kel-
dahl over the end zone was COM
pleted for the first score. A fake
placement kick which resulted in
a drive through the line was stop
ped for no point. Long Prairie
showed the first sparks Of a fight
ing team following the local score.
Making an extended drive up the
field after the kick off the locals
finally held on the twenty yard
line. They attempted pass and
Keldahl, all hands, mussed it up
beautifully. A second pass never
left the passer's hands as Belling-
er got in fast to smear the passer.
A third pass and 1t was a heart
breaker. Passed to almost the five
yard line but it was incomplete.
The ball went to the locals as the
half ended.
The local lads kicked off and
Long Prairie was forced to the
boot on their first down. Decree
skirted his own end with some neat
blocking in front Of him for gain
of eight yards, and Graham roar
ing up to the line Of scrimmage
crumbled the forward wall to COM
plete the first down. Decree behind
interference which laid the forward
wall low and all but took out the
secondary, streaked around end In
a nice bit Of broken field running
for twenty yards. In our next ser
les of downs an incomplete pass on
the fourth down handed the ball to
Long Prairie. They kicked immed-
lately, and Decree popped short
pass over the line Of scrimmage to
Keldahl who lateraled to Arvig
where the lateral was muffed. The
next play Arvig redeemed his mis-
fortune with a completed pass to
him for fifteen yards. Sank Centre
stood threatening on the oppon-
ent's twelve yard line. A pass to
Keldahl Melted eight yards, and
Graham picking a hole In the line
blasted through to the two yard
line. Graham cracked in their again
and when the pile was unscrambled
the locals had foot to go. Pulling
the unexpected Decree shot pass
to Arvig way off the end to score
standing up. Keldahl made the
placement kick good with beauti-
full kick that halved the cross bar
