AVERT BLANK

pOiIIllS over Ifle signify light

taking advantage of the "breaks," +"
Redwood Falls High school grid
ders earned their second victory
of the season here Friday night
by 25 to 7 score.
Only slightly more effective
than the Tracy team of the week
before, Window was an easy foe
for the Red Horde until the later
minutes of the game when they
began tossing passes with consid-
cradle accuracy for long gains,
one of which resulted in their
touchdown.
Redwood was still clumsy in
carrying the ball, five fumbles
costing considerable yardage and
the pass defense looked woefully
weak, due mainly to a miSunder-
standing over assignments be-
tween DiSrher and Russ Lauter-
bach which left a wide territory
open.
Redwood's superiority was evil
dent from the first as they receiv-
ed the kickoff on their 35 marker
and with Paffrath and Lauterbach
carrying, marched almost to the
goal on five plays, only to have a
tumble lose the opportunity.
WINDOWS punt was returned a
few feet to its % yard line and
Paffrath dashed off IL yards. With
the fans set for score, another
tumble gave Window the ball on
its ten where they tried one play
and punted, this time to the 25
stripe.
For three plays the Window
forward wall was master, driving
the Cards back four yards and
Paffrath'S punt rolled over the
goal. After two futile attempts to
skirt the ends, Window got off it's
first good punt, DiScher receiving
on his 25 stripe and returning to
his 40. Paffrath, Lauterbach and
DiScher took turns on three first
downs and on the third play after
the quarter, Paffrath plunged the
last few yards to score. The kick
was blocked.
The kickoff went deep into
Window territory where the re-
ceiver passed to Willscher, speedy
back, who made his pest showing
of the evening in running the ball
back 80 yards to near midfieId.
Wolverton knocked down a pass
and two line plays were smother
ed before Window booted to the
Redwood % liner.
Discher and Paffrath ran up a
first down with yards to spare but
the ball slipped from Lauterbach's
hands and Window recovered on
its % stripe Again WINDOWS
pass and line plays were solved
by the Cards who forced a punt,
the ball rolling out of bounds on
Redwood's 20.
DiScher made two nine yard
gains, Paffrath added five and
Lauterbach got away for % to
take the ball to their "a yard line
where Paffrath Red Granged"
through for the second touch
down. This time a pass for con-
version was incomplete. Window
received and had lost yardage on
two plays as the half ended
Breaks which had been against
them in the first half turned their
way in the second as Paffrath in
tercepted a short pass on the
third play and ran 35 yards to
score. Attempting a kick again,
the ball went wide of the mark.
Window returned the kickoff
II yards to the AZ marker and in
making a hard tackle, DeGroat
got his wind knocked out. Two
plays later he smeared them for
a five yard loss and was in on the
partial blocking of a punt. With
habit of being in the right spot
at the crucial moment, Paffrath
received the ball after it caromed
off the blockers finger tips and
again demonstrated the fine art
of open field running with his 180
pounds of Drawn, this time for 40
yards and touchdown. For the
first time in seven attempts this
season, the Cardinals converted,
passing to make the count 25 to O.
Fans settled back to watch a
continued slaughter but in reality
had the most exciting portion of
the game remaining. Window
took to the air with vengeance
and taught the Cardinals consid-
cradle about the dangers of bonn
bardment from the air.
Larson ran the kickoff back Is
yards to his 25 and when three
plays left his team short of a first
down, punted to Discher who re-
turned to his As. He sifted through
second later for 13 yards. Then
Redwood tumble gave Window
the Setup it needed and Ryan
arched two long ones to Van Nest
and Nelson for WINDOWS first two
first downs, leaving them knock
ing on the goal with a ten yard
doorstep.
George Steele broke up a line
play and a pass went wild. Then
two more plays struck a stone
wall and Redwood took the oval
on downs. A short pass was in
complete and Paffrath punted to
their 81, a IL yard return giving
them the ball in midfield. Two
tries gave them a first down on
running plays and after a tumble
which they recovered and an in
complete toss, Van Nest shared
another and was away for 80
yards and touchdown. The kick
was good.
After two short plays following
the kickoff, Paffrath broke loose
for % yards to their 80 yard line.
Three plays netted but three
more and the punt rolled over the
goal, Window starting another
barrage from its 20. Van Nest
