Wound Up Football
Season In Blaze

EXCITING CAME
Held Strong Oppo-
sitiOn On Two
Yard Line

When the blackout came and
lights faded for the last time this
year on O-Sa-Ge field, ending five
games and 240 minutes Of work for
the 60OO0-watt plant installed this
year, Sank Centre had dislodged
Alexandria from majestic PIN
nacle held for the duration Of ath-
letic relationship of the two cities.
For the first time in football his
tory Of the past twenty years, Alex
andria did not defeat Sank Centre.
The two teams, Sank Centre, de-
feated by Glenwood, and Alex, with
a bumpy schedule, struggled to
scoreless tie before nearly thous-
and at the field Friday night in
which the offensive spark Of Alex
andria was snuffed early.
This Sank Centre team-nine of
whose players were seniors playing
their last football game for the
school-carried on in amazing fas-
hion showing offensive strength
and a tower of defense to quell the
Alexandria invasion.
About two days before the game
regular center Ray Berggreen was
sent to bed, i'll. Moving into his
place was Loren Potter, a lad who
had tried at guard position in the
line and had failed to place reg
ular berth earlier in the season.
This Potter turned out to be de-
mon at that post for so short a
rehearsal. His passes were accur-
ate. He broke up one pass play
definitely for Alexandria. And the
whole team sensing this carry on
spirit in spite of Rays absence,
played like demons against this
touted Alexandria troupe, patered
by George Roscoe.
In this ball game it was a matter
of just how long halfback Schultz,
dazzling Alex runner, could be stop
ped. He was stopped for four quar-
tiers, but even then on a cutback
Schultz covered 70 yards to the
goal. Only safety valve against
that touchdown play was the fact
that last man Kringen, in a des-
perate chance to halt him, knocked
him out OF bounds on the 10 yard
line. Schultz never got away again.
While Sank Centres center per-
formed with fine accuracy, Alexis
center men, Ekman and Blanchard.
did their bit toward keeping Alex
out Of scoring territory. Their pass
es came back low, and Schultz was
rushed on every punt when he had
to pick the ball up at the ankles.
In Sank Centres sparkling attack
that completely dominated the first
quarters play, it was Ethun, his
nose bleeding from vicious tack
lie, and Pangburn as the mainstays
of the running attack. For the first
time Pangburn moved as real
ground gaining man on plunges

For the first time in basketball

was announced this week as Coach
J. N. Toftness released star-stIid-

For the first time, since the. old
days when overnight stays had to
be made on the shortest Of trips,
the team will make a road trip on
q weekend tour.
For the first time the local team
is playing out-of-state competition
with Wahpeton and Fairmont, in
North Dakota, sandwiched in the

the schedule has been snudged to
include twenty games, will find the
squad in action twice weekly from
December to February 18.
Those boys are going to be in
condition to meet a double tourna-
ment grind" Toftness said this
week explaining his packed sched-

going to be cunning for us-and
we're going to be ready If sched-
ules mean anything"
For the local fans there are ten
home games. In the schedule are
13 district competitors, but Melrose

showed % victories in 80 tourna-
ment games. ~,

Armada. incidentally, kept up
his hitting, polling two singles and
scoring three runs. He was on
