Wide open scoring as two teams
went extensively mad and defens-
es bucked in a riotous first half
that launched five touchdowns
characterized the Albany-Sauk Cen
tire battle before a pleased Albany
home coming crowd Friday after
noon and left the locals trailing in
the wake of rs to IA score.
Albany, setting up a defensive in
the first few minutes that showed
a startling weakness in the left of
their line, blazed out with the razzle
dazzle of intercepted passes, pulled
passes in unexpected and danger
Gus quarters and won their scoring.
Early in the game it was clear that
the power of the Sank Centre Of
fensive cutting and slashing at the
weakened Albany line was good
enough to score at will.
Defensively the game for the first
half was a "bust." Albany's backs
were playing wide and the weak
side of the line yielded first down
after first down as the locals
marched 80 yards, never varying
their procedure, to the goal. At the
center slot was boy named Fuchs
though, who finally caught on
enough to stop plays on his side of
the line. Fox, rangy fullback from
the south, was a defensive against
passes. For Harvey's Rovers the
line was clearly superior to the AL
bany edition; but speedy Albany
backfield left them startled more
than once.
In the first five minutes of play
the paradise of leading was both
won and lost. A short kickoff re-
covered by Beste gave the locals a
break. Rivette, Ethun and Cokeley
alternating on carrying the ball
marched down the field. And then
a pass was intercepted by the lanky
Fox. Unable to drive through the
local forward wall Fox sprung out
in the razzle dazzle with a lateral
to Beverly who romped for 20
yards. Then with 18th down, 8 yards
to go, and on their own forty yard
line, they pulled the unexpected,
the dangerous, and it clicked. A
pass going wide to Buening, at end,
put him in the clear as the local
defense was playing close and over
he went for the score.
Undaunted the locals settled into
a steady march that began on their
own 20 yard stripe. Rivette ripped
off 10 yards on single play, Ethun
cut off tackle behind three man in
30 onnfhar fivcf
and in a sustained drive Of straight
plunging football they marched ov-
er the goal. On a fake placement
Cokeley carried the ball over
standing up. The locals led z to 6.
At the turn of the second quarter
as Albany bored into local terri
tory with runs by Beverly and Fox,
who slanted wide in end sweeps
and suddenly darted in to gain con-
sistently while the local defense
backed away. Then on pass Fox
carried it over for the score as AL
bany took the lead. On the kickoff
the locals again pounded down the
field laundering over that weak
side in a series of plays that could
not stop Rivette. They marched to
the two yard line and were over
the line. The try for point was good
and again the locals took the lead
II to Is.
AS the time keepers pointed the
gun announcing the end Of the half
with Is seconds to go the Albany
outfit scored. A pass to Beverly
had put them to the Is yard line,
and then IS skirting his flank
launched over for the score.
A right about face from the Of
fensive to the defensive marked
the remainder Of the game. Fox,
fullback for Albany who had taken
less than two tackles all day, fin
