It was like q three-minute egg
for the locals Friday when Albany
racing around end in the opening
play took seventy yards and a sub
sequent goal in a three minute per-
iod. They caught the ends flat-foot-
ed playing in too close to their own
line and the play sailed around to
the skirts of the field unhindered.
The secondary defense had little
time to out race the ball carrier
and the goal was crossed. Sank
Centres goal was less spectacular
in execution but exhibited good,
hard-bitten football. Play after play
raced around Albany's ends, first
one side and then the other, sup
plemented by line thrust, a cross
buck, or some other play to march
more than half the field in a sus-
tanned drive to score. Time and
again the locals pitched their tents
deep into enemy territory, but
unmatched campfires consumed
the tented colony.
I'll, OuC tAlCEOb q OAO VI uyAh<S
mite in those half backs. Coke
ley exploded through that line
for q twelve yard gain on one
attempt, that belied his size.
Small, red-headed, inexper-
fenced as he is, his evident love
for the game Over-shadOws- his
greenness. Ethun, the other
half, small too. and with pants
hanging half mast because of
their lift, pulled some of the
smOOthest, clean cut tackles.
Small, he gets into the feet ana
in the way Of the opponents,
and upsets some well-pulled
plays. Ankle height Is his meat,
and he fastens both arms Sc
curely and then heaves just
bit. The tackle is sure fire, and
worked beautifully Friday.
Harvey has reserves in that
section too.
A contribution to the success of
the local running gains is the line.
It is one Of the heaviest lines that
Harvey can boast in this city. They
melted the opposite line like wax
when they turned on the heat, and
seemed not to tire but picked up
in momentum as the game pro-
crossed. Let's take side glance at
these lads. Here's Walker weigh
ing in. Walker, how much do you
weigh? 145. Very Good, Potter how
about you. 1859, expect ITO before
long. Bohn at center, is on the hoof
at 154 and Bellinger stands at ITO.
Egan ripe and ready, is heaviest at
ITS, and his younger brother tips
the weights at 145. Pickett, over
there on the other end is 146. Now
if you will carefully total those
figures, you will at once be as
founded to find half a ton of beef
on the hoof and raring to race at
you. Now unless, the old bean
has deprecated materially in math-
ematical surveys since our exodus
from the seat Of learning, the aver
age for each player will be 160
pounds and a fraction. Like it?
When running plays function
why pass or punt? Once on a sus-
tanned drive the locals pulled a
pass, that if good would have been
nice gain, but muffed-indirectly
lost the ball for them. The running
plays advanced them ieep in enc
my territory-that drive might
have been kept up. Then a punt
turned another local scoring threat
aside, when a deep thrust found
them third down on about the enc
mics thirty with about three to go.
The punt rolled over the goal. It
might have been the march could
have continued to the goal. In the
selection Of running plays there
was a fault. Not SO serious since
their yardage gain was an excep-
tional factor Friday. But it seems
that with less effort they could
have had more. Arvig ripped off
four to five yards on nearly all his
sweeping runs. With downs run
ming low and only a yard or two to
60, Cokeley or Hoffman was sent
into the line for a yard or two.
Now the Albany eleven expected
this turn of events and backed up
