ed like tracers the beaten path of
the Harvey Rovers to the Long
Prairie goal line Friday afternoon.
The Harvey machine clicked with
precision to down Long Prairie for
the fourth successive year, IL to O.

the game and the locals scored their
first goal with the wind at their
backs. A stubborn local line
thwarted even the valiant attempts
Of Long Prairie with the wind at
their backs, and their first penetra-
ton was to the Rover 40 yard line
in the opening of the third quarter.
Choking three minutes of play
the locals had a score. Walker got
a low, rollicking, jumping kickoff
that propelled by the wind evaded
the Long Prairie eleven and
was killed on the ten yard
line. The Prairie lads clicked off
three plays including a pass that
netted them about three yards.
They punted out with the wind
bearing the punt down on their own
As yard line. Arvig cracked in on an
intended end run, and seeing his
way blocked, reversed his field and
quit his interference to pick up six
yards. The next play led them to
important territory in an early
avalanche of the local charge. On
the sixteen yard line they pulled a
triple reverse that sent a back in
the clear to score the first goal.
The point for conversion was not
punched over. Again the kickoff
