FOLEY HERE FRIDAY
Locals Outplayed Alex Dur
ing Second Half Of
Fast Tilt

A white-helmeted clan Of Alexan-
dria gridders outclassed Coach
Harvey's Sank Centre aggregation
20 to 0 under the lights at Alexan-
dria Friday evening. Local pangs
Of disappointment changed to cries
of encouragement as the locals got
under way in the second half. The
first was all Alexis, but while
they scored once in the last half,
that goes to us by decision. The
aerial attack of Alexandria would
not function, and the locals passed
that ball like veterans to gain
scoring position in the last quar-
ter, but they were unable to gain
the goal.
In the opening stanza Alexandria
darkened Sank Centre skies with
a steady hard march down field to
score in four plays. Hard, driving,
smashing plays, sweeping end
runs, and punching the line were
Alex tactics. On the kickoff follow
ing the score the locals were fore
ed to punt, unable to convert their
series Of downs. Alex started one
Of their marches and ended on our
two yard line as the gun postponed
the score to the next quarter. Alex
andria scored on the next play in
the second period, with no point.
Following that they showed in
new team. This outfit opened up
with a pass, which Butler intercept
ed for ten yards. The locals retail
lated with lateral pass play, But
Ter to Decree, who swept wide for
a first down. We punted on the
next downs and Alexandria was al
so forced to punt. Coach Hastings
put in another squad, and the To-
Gals picked up two first downs. De-
Gree made one Of the few specta-
cular plays of the game when he
skirted the end and picked his way
for about thirty yards to end deep
in Alex territory. Arvig came out
of end position to take the pass
and picked up first down, putting
the locals in position to score. The
gun for the half stopped any such
attempt. Half ended Is to 0.
Sank Centre opened fire in the
second part with the kickoff, and
Alex, with the regulars back in,
were held for the first time and
forced to punt. The locals on the
return play slipped in a pass COM
pleted to Keldahl with a long gain.
On the next play Decree got mix
ed up with his own interference
and spilled on the line of scrim-
mage. The next play was one Of
Alexis favorites when they beat
Melrose. Decree lobbed a basket
ball pass over the line Of scrim-
mage to Keldahl who played a lat
eral to Arvig for a five yard gain.
Graham crashed the line to COM
plete the first down. Arvig on an
other pass picked up several yards
and loss on the next play gave
the ball to Alexandria. They were
forced to punt, and the quarter
ended with the ball in local hands.
No score was resolved this quarter,
but by decision Sank Centre de-
served the round" Alexandria
punted in the opening Of the final
stanza, and the locals with their
backs to the goal tried to run sew
eral plays. The first Melted no gain,
the second, a pass to Keldahl, net
ted some, and the third was an
incomplete pass. The Red and
Black were all set for the punt.
and blocked it. Chasing it over the
goal line, they recovered to score
their last touchdown. The locals
kicked off, and Alex fumbled on
the first attempt. Sank Centre re-
covered for a nice gain. A neat
passing play with Decree passing
to Keldahl, who tossed it to Arvig
and Butler skirting wide took the
pigskin from him to pick up near
ly first down. Advancing deep in
to opponents territory, the locals
drove in with an end run and
pass as the gun blasted Sank Cen
tres last hopes for score. The
game ended 20 to 0.
