TEAM IN BETTER FORM
TO WIN THIRD OF
SEASON

In mid-season form at last, a
team which has the strength and
ability to become one of those
which go down in the history of
every town as truly outstanding,
completely stopped a big Hutch
inson eleven and romped to a 81
to 6 victory Friday night, their
third triumph under the lights.
Fully as heavy and flashing
good form occasionally, the visit
ors never threatened to score ex-
cept on the one occasion, a break,
when a blocked punt near the
goal was carried over. In several
instances the decisions of the field
captain were handicap to the
team and funbles cost such dear
yardage that the net gain of the
golden galants was 35 yards in 81
tries.
Fans left the stands still wond-
ering whether the team is as out
standing as the scores of three
games played would indicate.
Certainly it has power and drive
and some unusually good high
school blockers. On the defensive
but little so far, its strength has
been vested in offensive play
which in this game was proved
more versatile when passes be-
gan to click, the record for the
evening being IL tosses of which
five were successful. On pass de-
fense the record was even better,
two intercepted on three toSSeS at
tempted.
To date the team has never
been behind or even closely press
ed after the first quarter. Friday
night the score was 13 to before
the first period ended. Discher
took the kickoff and made long
return to the 80 stripe, Russ Lau-
terbach made first down on the
first play and Paffrath dashed off
Is yards on the second play. Russ
came back with five and penal
ty on the next play made it three
first downs on four plays.
A penalty and an incomplete
pass forced a kick as Hutch stiff
ened and Redwood got off a poor
punt which went out on the %
yard line. Hutch tried quick
kick but it was blocked and Red
wood recovered on the Is. With
the stage set for an easy score, a
Is yard penalty was only temp
orary setback as Paffrath dashed
off II, then he and Russ took it to
the four yard line and pass to
Discher caught the visitors on
their heels as the first touchdown
was scored. A pass to Discher for
the point was good.
The next touchdown was the
longest run of the game. Discher
made another long return to the
38 and on a fake play which ap-
peared to be stopped before it un-
folded, Paffrath sifted through
and was off for 62 yards for the
score. A line play for the point
failed.
Maynard Steele received the
kickoff and returned to the As
where Discher reeled off five to
leave the ball on the so stripe as
the quarter ended. Paffrath made
it first down and Russ stepped
through for six but other plays
failed and Redwood punted again,
this time to the 35. Hutch punted
to Redwood's 40 after two plays
failed.
Discher pushed through on two
plays to within six inches of first
down and the backfeld blocked
superbly as Paffrath rammed
through for 80 yards to the %
stripe. Redwood suffered a pen
atty and a pass missed the receiv-
er but Discher and Paffrath
smashed through to the seven
yard line where Discher took 1t
over on a reverse Still kinder
gartenish on goal kicking, another
was squashed before it got into
the air.
Hutch received but after sew
en- yard run, lost the ball on a
tumble. Paffrath and Thomson
had contributed fve each as the
half ended.
The visitors received after the
half and had made three yards
when Discher intercepted a pass.
Discher and Lauterbach made
two each and Maynard Steele
pocketed a pass to place the ball
on the % yard line when Hutch
inson's forward wall cut through
to block the punt and dash over
for a touchdown. The kick was
wide.
A touchdown proved tonic to
the visiting players as they forced
a punt and started a march from
their 25 yard line, reeling off two
first downs on short runs. Not
satisfied with brief gains, they re-
sorted to passes and on the second
toss, Bob Baldwin intercepted to
halt the rally.
Hutch again forced a punt, re-
ceiving on the 80 stripe but pen
atty cost Is yards and on two fum-
bles they lost ten more, placing
them in a ticklish spot as the
quarter ended and they were
forced to open the last chapter
with a punt into the high wind
from their five. It got off well,
however, and Discher was tackled
on their 35 yard line after a five
yard return.
After several short jabs and
one % yard dash by Paffrath,
Russ Lauterbach stepped over to
bring the count to Is to 6. Again
the kick failed.
Hutchinson received on the 20
and made nine yards on three
plays before punting to Redwood's
40, Discher dashed back Is yards.
Paffrath made five on the first
play and then cleaned up the
other 35 on the next to score the
