In the audience which packed
one side of the field and took up
80 per cent of the bleacher space
were fans and curious folks from
a radius of 80 or 40 miles, taking
advantage of the warm evening to
enjoy a game without fur coats
and blankets.
Redwood was easily master OF
the entire situation although the
two bugaboos of opening games,
fumbles and penalties, held the
Cardinals in check during the first
quarter and part of the second.
Redwood lost As yards on nine
penalties while Tracy was set
back Is on its only infraction.
The Cardinals were seldom
back of the SO yard line and the
score does not fully indicate the
supremacy of the big red attack
which rolled up 10 first downs
while Tracy's backs made two.

from its gains, Tracy made but ~
yards, ten yards being its best
dash of the evening while Red

which made 70 yards and several
16 and II yard gains.

with 100 in 19 attempts, not
counting several which were call

yards. LuSSenhop made five on
his one attempt.

one occasion. Tracy was more Of

got away six kicks, usually get
