found behind the closed doors
Of the locker rooms. Last FRI
day at st. Johns when the To-
Gals battled the Props to q
sc0reless tie, the attitude Of
their players, coach, and entire
campus was something to be CO
pied. Their coach was gracious
I'm asking II Harvey had every
thing he wanted, and furnished
towels for the entire squad. A
simple gesture, yet It made q
big hit with the boys. Platis,
their publicity man, was COR
dial In wishing Harvey the best
of luck before the game. Stud
ents were not hesitant In APP
plauding n good bit of football
on either team. It's q pleasure
to play with q gang like that.
Thank you, Johnnies!

Attacks begged down repeated
iy Friday afternoon in the score
less tie that the Johnnies Prep and
the Sank Centre outfit played
Sank Centre batted the longest
running gain on single play when
Arvig measured in his stride thir-
ty yards toward the Johnny goal.
The Johnnies put on the only sus-
tanned offensive drive when for
forty yards they nudged the locals
back to their own fifteen yard line.
It was clearly a battle of lines.
Heavy, aggressive, both lines held
on the crucial moment and turned
the tide Of the attacks with yards
to go. Snudged back little by little
both lines found situations where
digging in gave them power to
stop the attempted power thrusts.
Rauscher, of the Johnnies,
and Arvig found themselves
locked In a punting duel feat
uring some very well-placed
kicks. Arvig took the longest
yardage on q single kick when
nice spiral found the ball half
the length Of the field from his
cleated toe. Rauscher got off
some handles that were well
placed and hard to return.
Hoffman was on his toes that af-
ternoon. He delighted in making
breaks for the locals. On one oc-
casion he snagged Johnny pass to
turn the attack back in their faces
and another situation found him
smothering free ball after Ger
man, of the Johnnies, had tried to
take an Arvig punt on the fly.
That play Melted the locals about
fifteen yards on a break. Bohn
was heads up, too. Just as the
Johnny center was about to snap
the ball, the play was halted with
Bohn hugging the pill tightly un-
der him. Something's wrong. Bohn
contended that the opposing CEN
ter had picked UP the ball which
according to ruling constitutes a
play. It was not called, however,
but he was working to get that ball.
In last desperate chance to
score the locals resorted to an old
type of deception that scored for
them against Foley. Pickett was
sent out on a upper and lying
peacefully behind the head lines
man was unnoticed. One play was
run and the boys lined up
again. and off sailed the pass
to the sidelines. With the slip
perry ball the pass was short and
Pickett saw the pigskin skid off
his finger tips. Talking to the To-
cal squad afterwards, we found
that most of them were as una
ware of the play as the Props.
Tomorrow evening, Friday,
under the lights the Harvey
men 60 to GlenwOod where they
meet Glenwood team that was
showed under by the strong
Alex outfit The dope points to
q Sank Centre victory, and we
lean toward local win by one
touchdown. There ought to be
quite q gang from this city go
to GlenwOOd this week to wit
ness this night encounter. Mel
rose winds up the home sched-
ule next week when they waltz
on the local grid.
CHANGING duck wise-While the
opening weekend for duck hunt
ers proved to be some Of the finest
hunting in years, the second week
end featured such unusually warm
weather that the ducks slept lazily
IN the warm October sun. Still
some Of the boys got 'em. Some of
he Ode Masters, to quote the
words OF the modest Mr.. Hansen
came back Sunday with
1ice shoot. L. L. Kells, s. p. Han
ZEN, and Mickey Hansen bagged 26
II the winging birds. Asked about
he secret of his success, Mr.. Han
zen announced, TITS all in KNOWN

Lies Little Disappoint-
ments-There's the one about

quarry for quite a distance up
the lake only to find his ducks
were colony of muskrats. Oh, |.
