It was here, midway In the sec
ond quarter with the locals having
literally the game in the bag, thai
Foley unleashed smashing power.
house attack, mixed up with few
passes, but always relying on the
powerful thrust Of Nidjilski. Mix.
ing shovel passes, running plays
and power thrusts, Foley wormed
their way to the Is yard line as
they found the locals weak spot
But the locals STAYED off this first
attempt to score when inside their
own ten, three plays failed. A FUN
BILE found Cokeley resting on the
ball. Fish behind his own goal line
punted out, but penalty for hold
ing against Sank Centre put the
ball back into Foley's hands on the
three yard line. Foley barreled
through on a power play. Their
place kick for point was good. The
locals led at the end of the second
quarter 10 to 9.
Early in the third quarter Foley
hammered at the local goal once
more. This time again the locals
set their defensive to meet the on
slaught and three times inside the
goal line their stand held. A pass
was incomplete and the ball went
to Sank Centre. Their attempt to
run it out gave Foley a safety. On
the kickoff Foley received, and
Lawson carried the ball for 10
yards, and then Rasmussen crack
ed in through the line to smear the
succeeding play for loss.
A tumble gave the ball to the To-
Gals. Then Ethun was set back for
a loss, Rivette was stopped at the
line, an intended pass to Walker
was going fairly for his hands
when a Foley man ran into him.
There was no penalty called. On the
Foley succession the secondary,
Ethun and Rivette, mussed up sew
eral plays and they lost the ball on
an attempted lateral, just two
wards short of first down.
In the fourth quarter Foley on a
break scored again. A tumble gave
the ball to Sank centre when Coke
ley recovered on the local rs yard
stripe. He slashed off tackle for
gain, and the pass to Walker was
intercepted. A fifteen yard penalty
for unnecessary roughness against
the locals brought the ball back to
the IS with Foley in possession.
Then Foley executed a pass play
filled with interesting deception.
The passer streaked far to the
right pulling the defense over. In
the meantime his receiver went to
the left, got into the clear, and
was finally halted on the five yard
line. For three plays the locals held
them without gain, and then
shovel pass over the line gave them
the score. Their try for placekick
was ably blocked by BONN who
came in fast.
There was but a fine difference
in the work of the two lines. Tho
outweighed a little, the locals, If
any shade of betterment could be
seen, had the edge. There were no
Foley gains made like those of the
locals during the first quarter
when rank holes were opened by
the linemen pouring the backing
men through. Then defensively
there were no less than three times
that Foley hammered away at the
goal inside the ten stripe line and
were STAYED off. Finally the full
force of weight and numbers SEEM
ed to get the better of Harvey's re-
vamped forward wall, and Foley
sliced over the side supported by
Beste and Egan as readily as over
Rasmussen and Vandesteeg.
Perhaps to Bohn should go the
signal honor Of truly great
game. Not a single pass from center
back to the backfield was off col
or. His precision is cause for Won
der. He's a power extensively and
defensively. His honors were not
alone collected for his sensational
pass interception and his dash Of
go yards for the goal, but for the
fact that it was a repetition of last
weeks encounter for him.
Beste, Rivette, Egan-they're al
ways good on defense and offens-
lively, too. But there's a new boy on
the line. A light, fast man, seeming
ly unable to hold up his own, Ras-
mussen playing only his second
game in position of guard, stole the
thunder from these old hands and
set himself up as defensive
strength. On one tackle he made, in
which he shared the ball carried be-
fore he got under way, was one OF
the hardest tackles of the game.
Ethun displayed again, under the
most trying circumstances, that he
is a ball carrier. He's fast, tough,
can pick his way, is shifty, and
what's more-he doesn't bruise.
Nothing seems to hurt him. When
Rivette led his interference he was
away for long gains Of Is to Is
yards, but the interference before
him was not there much Of the
time.
Foley's power was bottled up in
a single 200 pound back who used
his force to advantage. Interspersed
