That Morris was outsmarted
Is discovered easily. They david
led for q complete first half at
tempting passing attack that
crumpled. They attempted that
when they had a power attack
that rolled over the Sank Cen
tire defense. That's not
smart Look. In the first
half when Morris slung J pass
es for q single completion they
made only first downs. One
Of them was awarded ON
Sank Centre penalty. That
means only two were their own
efforts directly. But I'm the sec
ond half when they rolled out
their power machine, they not
only scored twice but converted
first downs. =. Now it's log
ical to conclude they might
have yet swung the tide Of bat
tie by hammering the afternoon
at the Sank Centre team.
Then, too, with power like that
they attempted to kick the try
for point in the face of the fact
that extra points meant the ball
game ultimateIy-and 1t was
evident before the game ended.
Sank Centre didn't have the lat
ent power that Morris possessed.
But they did have the punch when
they needed it--and that punch was
all bottled in a neat red-topped
package, labeled Cokeley. He punch
ed his way for the first after-point
he punched again and again for
gains when they needed it. And
the passing attack developed beau
tifully. Gaining only half as many
first downs as Morris, 5 in the
game, at least two of those were
responsible to passes. And surpris-
ingly the boys completed 5 out of
6 pass attempts. The first pass they
tried failed. Two of them directly
contributed to the first touchdown.
Another, Is yard heave to Ras-
mussen, lead to the second touch
down. The fourth was pass from
Pangburn to Kringen for the Sec
ond try for point. The fifth fig
ured in the second touchdown
from Pangburn to Arvig, ruled COM
plete on the interference clause.
That's nice record. And it speaks
two things: that the passes of the
locals are well-timed and effective;
that they aren't just willy-nilly
throwing passes away. -.
I stuck my neck out before-but
I don't expect to get the guillotine
this time. I mean on this tackling
business. The lads really tackled
Friday, just as I pointed out after
that Parkers game. Well, after ]
said that before we had the pitiful
showing against st. Johns. But
against Long Prairie I don't expect
such a fired attack. -. But Long
Prairie will be tough. They scored
27-13 victory over Parkers Prai-
RE, team beaten by the locals Is
to o. That Parkers Prairie was
able to score against Long Prairie
speaks that Long Prairie did not
have the domination that the loo
ais did It's Chyba, Blake and
Wolff to watch on Long Prairie.
And seemingly they have reserves
which might make some difference
in the ball game. :. But Fridays
game showed surprising gain in
the strength of the reserve element
in the Harveymen. And the fact
the lads are pointing to this game
as not only their third win, and the
second district % ball game, but
the fact they still have their first
win coming up on the new home
lot, ought to really bring out the
best in them.
If you think you have some
thing brand new In that new
football field-well, you just
haven't reckoned with few
years gone by. Granted that
the lighting plant Is novel in
novation into the Sank Centre
football picture, and further
that the turf Is a surprisingly
fine piece of turf-but the spot
itself.
Back in the days of Sank Centres
first attempt at football, in the
years during the War, before it was
tossed out of school athletics some
time in the 20's, the boys had some
football games too. And surprising
ly enough that field was in almost
identically the same spot as the new
field rises today. . =. talked with
Dewey O'Gara the other day and
he mentioned the fact. He said,
1--WE had the same spot but no turf
like that" It was like the sur
face Of the old field. Uneven, dir
ty, grass protruding in ever-thin-
ming patches. That was in the
days when football was really
