plementing. In that quarter with
Ethun and Pangburn spearheading
a brave attack the boys rolled up
three first downs to move from
their own 40 deep to Alexis 81 yard
line before they lost the ball.
Alex had the ball just one series
in this quarter. They lost on an
intended lateral play. Erickson was
set back on his heels. Schultz made
the inevitable punt out. JGaa
Schultz interception Of an intend
ed pass from Pangburn to Rasnus-
sen started an Alex march that
spanked them to the very goal line.
Moving from their own 26 yard
line, Alex surrendered the ball once
to Sank Centre who failed on the
succession. Then in a single thrust
Schultz on a beautiful sweep, re-
versing his field, hips swivelirg, he
roared for 60 yards before he was
nudged out Of bounds by last man
kringen. A beautiful bit of decep-
ton sprung this dangerous man for
long gain.
Now they hammered at Sank
Centres goal. But the local de-
Tense was ready too. Bonner bor-
ed to the five yard line, then moved
to the two. Potter caught Bonner
short on the next play. Schultz was
stopped on the fourth play. For
four downs the boys had held them
within the ten yard line. Even then
danger was not over, for Pang-
burns punt was taken on the 80
by Schultz. Rasmussen halted
Morse for a loss. Schultz was stop
ped as the half ended.
BY virtue of a first quarter Of
fensive domination and the fact
that a defensive goal line stand
was so outstanding a defensive
achievement, the first half must go
on points to this Sank Centre club.
But Alex had shown in Schultz
a dangerous, deceptive attack, and
the wonder was could Sank Centre
hold that man Schultz.
On offensive thrusts the two
teams evened in this half. In the
first quarter Sank Centre had man
ipulated three first downs to punch
on a fifty yard tour. In the second
Alex had turned a like number Of
downs to hammer at the goal.
AS the game moved back into
the third quarter Alexandria con-
tinued their offensive onslaught be-
set with logged defensive, and
fumbles.
Deep in their own territory Alex
andria was penalized. Dropping
back in kick formation, this man
Schultx showed an amazing burst
to break to the Sank Centre forty
yard line.
In this succession Egan, lineman
of four years standing with the
locals, cracked in to play hard ball,
ended his career with a blaze Of
glory. A Sank Centre offside on
the punt, gave Alex another chance.
Dynamiting his way to the 10-yard
line, Schultz moved into scoring ter
ritory then. Bonner swept into the
four yard line and fumbled. Ethun
recovered that tumble, halted Alexis
last and second thrust deep at the
goal line.
A second tumble in this quarter
and third as Schultz was forced
to punt out stopped the Alex attack
from generating again. Ethun took
the ball on two plays and then a
fifteen yard penalty for holding
was levied against the Harveymen.
Back on his own ten yard line.
Pangburn took a desperate chance,
chose to pass, and completed a 20
yard aerial drive to Rasmussen up
the field. Then the whole of the
Alex forward cracked Ethun on the
next play. Pangburn punted out as
the quarter ended.
Now Sank Centre took over
things in this fourth quarter. Fun
bles and penalties began to beset
Alexandria. Porter fumbled, and
Schultz pass was knocked down.
And then things moved swiftly.
A low pass from center contributed
to a blocked kick with Potter and
Steffes hurrying the punt. Pang-
burn rolled on the free ball on
Alexis IS yard line. Now rolling in
to scoring territory Kringen at
tempted a pass to Rasmussen, wide
Of its mark. Pangburn lost on an
attempted reverse. The punt fol-
lowed.
Schultz cracked for q first down
from his own 20 yard line. In spite
Of Porter's fumbles they completed
a first down. Schultz to Larson at
end was good for pass combine.
