pass play well-executed followed for
Alexis first score. Arvig then taking
the cue slept well out to the side
of the field and shared beauty OF
a pass from Hoffman to clean up
plenty of yards. A second pass. as
only seconds remained in the half
was incomplete. Arvig to Walker
combination spanked in a pass that
advanced to Alexis thirty in the To-
calls first penetration. Alex was
offside and the locals chose the
gain. Alex intercepted an intended
pass and they marched some twen-
~ yards before the half closed.
Sturnick returned the kickoff to
his own forty. Alex was stopped on
a first line buck. Dobberpuhl then
ripped into the line. found 1t yield
ing. put on the pressure and twist
ed and reeled his way for a first
down. They pulled that forward
lateral for another first down, and
Sturnick picked up several yards
wheeling around end. Young Egan
was through like dynamite, sub
marining that line, to nail the next
play. an intended reverse. behind
the line. Dobberpuhl glanced off a
group of tacklers right down the
middle of the line and weaved his
way to the goal line for the 18th
point. John Egan was in fast to
block the kick for extra point. Ar
Wig took the kickoff deep in his
own territory and with shifting
stride returned it to the % yard
line. A lateral from Hoffman to
Arvig was stopped for no gain, and
the locals kicked out. Alex was
stopped on the first play with a
yard lost, and on the next Walker
and Bellinger charged in off the
line to smear them for six yard
loss. Sturnick booted the nice kick
of the game netting fifty yards.
Sank Centre failed, booted it back.
Then an Alexandria back fought
his way to the locals twenty yard
line leaving in his wake a string of
tacklers. Down to the last man he
fought with Arvig hanging to his
shirt. Hoffman crashed in to clinch
the tackle. Egan, Bohn, and Walk
er muscled in to stop the next
play, and Bellinger stopped the play
that lost the ball to Alex on the
Streeters' eight yard line.
Starting the play on his own goal
line, Arvig weaved his way behind
some nice clicking interference to
the ten stripe. A low punt found
it's way to the IS yard line, and
Pickett raced in to get the tackle.
Alexandria fumbled two plays hand
running, and pass to Urness at
end was muffed. Alex punted. Sank
Centre lead with thrust by Coke
ley backed by Hoffman and a small
gain by Arvig was forced to kick
again. Alex swept off in a series Of
passes and they attempted to
wound the locals more deeply, but
they were stopped. In the final
plays Arvig found his team clear
ing the way for him and romped
eighteen yards down the field.
Hoffman finished up a first down,
and the lads chalked up two incom-
plete passes as the game ended
with the locals in possession of the
ball.
It was fine ball game with hard
driving offensives thrust back time
and again. Alexis line punching
was no more effective than the To-
calls. Their games came with nicely
executed pass plays. Punting aver
aged about the same, although the
locals punted several times more.
The defensive play of Sank Centre
was their shining light. Twice with
in the ten yard stripe they saved
Alex from scoring. Alex had real
punch when they sailed out on
those pass plays. The local line
was superior to that of Alex, but
their backfield with heavier men
was their best offensive part
