Stubborn Defense and Power
Thrusts By Both Make
Fine Game

In fine, drizzling first half rain
that made running plays uncertain
and passing dangerous, Harvey's
Rovers doggedly battled strong
st. Johns Prep team to a scoreless
tie in the tree-flanked bowl Of St
Johns University. Two stubborn
lines whitfield desperately to open
holes as backs, digging turf, at
tempted to cross goal lines on the
slow. soggy field.
The power thrust that launched
the Main Streeters into Johnny
territory early in the first quarter
begged down like a Debated balloon
after completing the only first
down Of the initial quarter. With
Rauscher, of the Johnnies, and Ar
Wig, Of the Harveymen, it was
plainly q punters' duel. The final
punt Of the first quarter was
launched by Arvig. A spinning spdr-
al 1t sailed over the stripes for
fifty yards, the longest boot of the
day. q
Another threat. of the locals was
repealed early in the second quar-
ter. Arvig, breaking around end,
lodged, weaved, and cut his way
through the swarm of would-be
tacklers and was finally dropped
after gain of thirty yards, consti-
tuting the longest running gain of
the day. That advance took them
to the Johnny 40 yard stripe, and
there a fifteen yard penalty was in
flicted on the Streeters. Ethun, on
a quarterback sneak, cracked
through the center for first
down to midfield. Again the attack
begged down as the Johnny line
burrowed deep and met the charge.
Arvig kicked deep into Johnny ter
ritory.
While the first half by virtue of
punting, running plays and yardage
gains goes by decision to the Har-
veymen, the Johnnies were not to
be outdone for four consecutive
quarters. Opening up in the third
quarter they launched the good
ship Powerhouse that rode a stor-
my course for sustained drive of
forty yards penetrating to the
Maroon and White Is yard line.
Their attack opened early in the
third frame, but was delayed to the
fourth quarter by an intercepted
pass taken by Hoffman. German
taking the ball, after Harveys
crew, had failed to take necessary
yardage, completed first down
and Rauscher on a reverse nearly
got loose, but the last man. tripped
him by an ankle. Rauscher swung
into action for another first down
as the Johnnies really plowed their
way into important territory, and
advanced the ball to the locals fiji
teen yard line. A tumble that was
the underlying cause for the break
up of this final stanza drive set
them back to the twenty. They
drove to the fifteen again before
they lost the ball.
Ethun cracked over his own CEN
ter on the sneak play again for
about six yards, and Arvig picked
up the necessary yardage. They
fumbled, recovered, and found no
gain. Arvig punted out to German
on the As yard line. He tried to
take 1t on the fly, fumbled, and
Sank Centre came up with the ball,
Hoffman recovering. The locals
took advantage of the situation and
sent the Johnnies back to their
own rs from the local Is yard line
with another punt. With Hoffman,
Bellinger, and the forward wall
cracking the offensive hard to hold
the Johnnies in their own half Of
the field, they were stopped deep.
Arvig took a first down when the
ball went to the locals. The John.
MES completed pass as the game |
ended.
