REDWOOD HARD-PRESS-
ED IN SECOND HALF
BY TIGER ELEVEN

Marshall football fans who
wanted to see Coach Bernie Coles
Tigers keep their honorable re-
cord of no defeats on the home grid
In four years, were disappointed
Friday night when Earle Ober-
meyers Red Wave swept over to
that city and took a 1877 victory.
Redwood fans were apprehen-
Sive about whether or not the
Cardinals were able to get their
fourth straight win of the year
and their apprehension was not
relieved until the final whistle.
For the first time this year the
Cardinals were given real test
of their defensive strength, their
previous games having been
mainly offensive. Van Dorm and
Fits, pony backfield men of the
Marshall team, provided plenty of
trouble for the Redmen After
his team had been held ScoreleSS
in the first half, Fits broke away
early in the third quarter for
brilliant, 78-yard run for Mar
shall's lone touchdown. From
there on Redwood's defense, as
well as its spirit, came up for
real test and local fans are salts
fed that the Redwood power
house is just as good as the scores
of its first three games indicated.
FIRST QUARTER
Discher received for Redwood
on his 25 yard line and return
ed IL yards to his own SO yard
stripe. Redwood failed to gain
yardage on line plunges and on
the fourth down, Paffrath punted
to the Marshall 15-yard marker.
The Tigers made a ten-yard re-
turn to their own 25-yard line
and on the next play Fits circled
end for an eight-yard gain. Kerk-
vliet made first down for Mar
shall, going through center to his
own 36-yard marker. Redwood'S
line held, stopping the next Tiger
play on the line of scrimmage.
The Cardinals took possession of
the ball on the next play when
they recovered a Marshall tumble
on the A stripe Paffrath began
his power drives through the line
with a seven-yard gain through
center. On similar plunge he
made it first down for the Cards
on the Marshall 32-yard line.
Marshall held and on the fourth
down, Paffrath punted into the
end zone. Resuming play on their
own 20-yard line, Marshall was
held for three downs, Pooch Lau-
terbach got through and spilled
the ball carrier on the line of
scrimmage in the first play. Russ
Lauterbach received the Marshall
punt on his own 38 yard line and
was down at that point. Paffrath
picked up four yards through CEN
ter and Russ Lauterbach added
two more off right tackle. A pass,
Paffrath to Discher, was success
full but was called back because
Redwood was offside The Cards
suffered another offside penalty
on the next play, making it third
down and II to go. George Steele
came out and Pooch Lauterbach
was shifted to guard. Bob Bald
win went in for Thomson at end
and Thomson was shifted to the
backfeld Paffrath again smash
ed the center of the line for IL
yards, as the quarter ended in
a scoreless tie with the ball on

original lineup; Thompson going
