ed, and Arvig returned the punt to
his own IS yard line. Arvig tore OH
five yards, then threw Ethun into
the line for a couple Cokeley on q
power thrust poked his red head
through the Albany line, backed up
by Hoffman, for a twelve yard gain
and a first down. An untimely pass
gained them no yardage when 1t
was incomplete and the subsequent
running plays failed to pull the
necessary yardage. Albany found
attempted end runs foiled when the
local ends got wise and played far
Their out and three plays netted
them little. A quick kick was at
tempted but was blocked when an
thrush of local lineman poured in
and smothered the kick. Egan
was on top of the ball when the
heap was disentangled, on the thir-
ty yard line. A couple of telling
thrusts by the locals gained them
yardage and put them into deep
enemy territory. as the end OF the
quarter sounded.
On an end run, early in the sec
ond stanza, Asyig ripped a twelve
ward swath down the field for
first down. Next play fake Melted
little They lost the ball on fourth
down with a line buck that was
anticipated and found the Albany
line backed up strongly. Albany
took a first on an end run. A line
plunge, and a cross buck gave
them another first down as they
marched toward midfield. The next
two, attempted end runs, were
turned in beautifully for no gains.
Albany followed with a punt in to
Sank Centres territory. Arvig bat
ted down the field on a couple of
plays; Cokeley, on a thrust picked
I'D the first down. Arvig slanted off
his own tackle for eight yards, and
then completed what he had start
ed with another first down. The
half announced the score still at 7
to 0.
Albany kicked off. A low, rolling
kick, with little power that was
short and was out on Sank Gen.
tres thirty. Arvig ripped off first
down, took eight yards on the next
play, and Cokeley on a line thrust
picked up the complementary two
yards for first down. Then on the
third down, following a couple OF
well-timed plays, the locals elected
to kick. Third down and about
three to go, deep in the enemy
trenches the locals kicked. A short
punt that rolled over the goal line
was brought out to the twenty yard
line. Albany kicked out of the hole
to their own forty yard line, and
paved the way for the long touch
down march.
Arvig manipulated his way
around end behind some nice work
ing interference for nice gains.
Cokeley and Ethun, and Hoffman
with some power thrusts tore into
the line for several yards. Some Of
the neatest football Of the day was
rolled out on this march. Ethun,
small and active, made some splen-
did blocks as did Hoffman. The
line functioned beautifully giving
the runners time to cross the
scrimmage line. Punching their
way with several yards of the goal,
the locals found themselves in the
advantageous position of having at
tanned a first down. Arvig streak
ed around end in a short series to
pick up the score. A repetition Of
the scoring play failed to convert
the point after touchdown.
An absence of punting in this
game was a singular fact, consider
ing the scoring. Much of the play
was in midfield though several
times the locals marched deep into
Albany markers only to be turned
back. The Main Streeters gained
yardage over their opponents.
Their first downs Tailed nearly
twice as many, although they ex-
hibted no colorful flashes Of gain
such as Albany did on the first
play. During the entire contest the
improvement of the locals as they
sized up the situation spoke well
for them. Men who were playing
out of position slowly realized their
plight and closing into their usual
posts exhibited skill in stopping
those plays that had stolen yardage
from them previously.
