SPRINGFIELD MAKES
BREAKS COUNT IN
FINAL BATTLE

A crippled Cardinal team which
failed to function smoothly in all
but one quarter was defeated by
the battling Springfelders who
capitalized on numerous breaks
to earn an 18 to 7 victory there
Friday night.
Only in the third quarter did
the Redwood team show real
punch as it marched down the
field with Discher leading the
parade but after scoring one
touchdown and reaching midfield
on another offensive, a bad pass
and tumble amounted to turn
ing point in the game and when
Springfield scored its third count
er a few minutes later, the season
was practically over.
Redwood started well, receiving
the kick on the 80 and returning
five. Discher received pass for
ten on the first play and Lussen-
hop cracked the line three times
in four plays for 18 yards but the
stubborn Springfield line stopped
other attempts and they took the
ball on downs on their IS.
A Is yard penalty made their
first down for them and Werring
carried twice for another. A lat
eral for six was largely Offset by
an offside penalty on the next
play and Aarthun pounced on a
tumble OH their Is. Discher FUN
bled a second later and SPRING
field recovered. Werring scooted
around left end to the ten yard
line and picked up seven more on
the next play but Redwood held
on the one yard line and punted
out to the 80, Springfield return
ing to the 81.
Dwyer intercepted a pass on
the IA and brought it out to the
10. Redwood was forced to punt
and Is yard penalty gave
Springfield the oval on The Is as
the quarter ended.
Bulen made first down on the
five and on the fourth try, Wer-
ring escaped around right end for
the first counter. A plunge for
the point was stopped.
Lussenhop received the kick
off and carried Is to the IS but
Redwood fumbled and Springfield
recovered. They were forced to
punt, Redwood returning to the
10 but Rams intercepted pass
and Springfield was again in
scoring territory. Two plays made
first down and lateral was good
for II to the ten yard line from
where Werring stepped through
to the goal on the first play. This
time they tried a kick but it was
blocked.
An infraction after the kickoff
cost Springfield Is yards and
Redwood launched its offensive
from the Fielder's As stripe. LUIS
senhop moved it up to the 40 and
an offside penalty made first
down. Kohler nabbed a pass on
the 20 but Werring intercepted
the next toss. He got away for
80 yards but the play was called
back to the point of interception.
They worked the ball out to mid
field before the half ended.
Redwood kicked-off and forced
a punt, Dickmeier returning 10 to
the 81 from where Redwood
launched its major offensive.
Discher alternated with Aarthun
and Quesenberry for two first
downs and a penalty on the "a
yard line of half the distance to
the goal gave Redwood chance
from the IL. Springfield held on
the ten, however, and Redwood
might not have scored but for a
tumble which Quesenberry re-
covered on the three yard line.
Discher struck the line twice be-
fore he crossed it and then re-
ceived a pass from Aarthun
which made the score IL to z.
Springfield received the kickoff
but was forced to punt and Red
wood made first down as the
quarter ended. Kohler took an
other pass on the so but a bad
pass from center which Lussen-
hop fumbled and Springfield re-
covered seemed to turn the tide.
Springfield drove down toward
the goal, finally making first down
on the one foot line from where
Werring scored on the second
play. Again the kick was no
good.
Dwyer received the kickoff and
brought the ball out to the 43.
Johanneck picked up five but two
tries through the air failed and
Springfield took the ball. They
