REDWOOD FALLS
BOY SCORES FIVE

THRILLING GAME

Ward Cuff of Redwood Falls

football Sunday as vital cog in

crowd of 48,120 at the Polo
Grounds in New York City.
Winners in the eastern division
of the National Professional lea
que, the Giants met terrific OPP
position from the Packers, west
ern section representative who
led by point for brief part of
the third quarter. Cuff contribut-
ed five of the Giants points, a
field goal and two points after
touchdown.
The Giants divided 17,151 40

place-kicked, blocked and made
innumerable tackles. He rarely
carries the ball.
Cuffs field goal was the first
points scored. The game was but
a few minutes old when the
Giants blocked punt and recov-
cred on the seven yard line.
When the Packers halted line
plays, Cuff booted the ball
squarely between the uprights.
Another blocked kick led to
Giant touchdown in the same
quarter but this time Cuff was out
of the game for few plays and
his substitute kicker failed to
convert, making the score 9 to O.
Scores came oftener in the
second quarter as the Packers
threw long pass for their first
counter and converted. Then the
Giants recovered a tumble in
midfield and marched to a score
on six plays, after which Cuff
converted. The Packers passed

GIANT STAR WAS CAGE
AND TRACK STAR OF
REDWOOD HIGH

Ward Cuff was an outstand-
ing blocker, tackler and plunger
in his four seasons with Redwood
Falls High school but his proves
in kicking has largely been de-
veloped since he left his alma
mater.
Cuff played in Is games with
the Cardinals, usually as fullback,
of which II resulted in victories.
Seven times during his career
Redwood teams tasted defeat and
cnce they were tied-a IL to II
tie which was a moral victory
because Redwood hadn't been
that close to beating Monte in
years.
Cuff started playing football in
the eighth grade, many sport fans
believe, but newspaper files re-
veal no information on his ex-
ploits of that year except that he
reported for practice.
In 1929 he played in every
game, however, as the Cards
started the season with a 20 to Is
victory over Springfield and
trounced Olivia II to 0, Window
II to 0 and Marshall ,26 to 0 on
successive Saturdays. Glencoe
gave that team its first setback
20 to 10 and the tide had turned
for ST. Peter took the Cards into
camp 20 to 0 and Montevideo adj
ded IA to 0 drubbing. The short
age of touchdowns ended in the
last game of the year, however,

and plunged for another, making
the score Giants Is, Packers ID
as the half ended.
1t was a field goal which put
the Packers ahead II to Is after
a third quarter drive but the
Giants were not to be outdone.
Taking the kickoff, they passed
and plunged in a sustained drive
which ended only when they had
crossed the goal. Again Cuffs toe
added the extra point.
Cuff was mentioned time and
again in the remaining quarter as
his tackling headed off the at
tempts of the desperate Green
Bay team. He turned the tide of
a touchdown drive late in the
quarter when he tackled Becker,
after receiving a pass, SO hard
that he dropped the ball and the
Giants recovered on the 20. 1t
was in the same period that
he missed field goal, one of the
rare instances when that has hap
pened this season.

that year and Redwood rolled
over Olivia "a to 6, Window 2 to
o, Marshall IL to 0, Sleepy Eye
18 to 0 and st. Peter IS to 6.
It was in 1881 that Ward began
kicking field goals, his first sue
cessful try being October 8 from
the Is yard line against Window.
It wasn't badly needed as the
Cards took that game 20 to O..
Against Marshall that year he
converted by kicking goal after
each of four touchdowns, Red
wood winning % to 0.
The 1881 team also trounced
Tracy Al to 0 and defeated Olivia
and Sleepy Eye both by 10 to 6
but Monte came out ahead "a to
10 and Glencoe and New Ulm
were too much for the boys, 25
to and Is to O.
Ward played but one game in
1882, in which Redwood Falls de-
feated New Ulm Is to 0. BY that
time he had the goal kicking
fever and teammates recall try
ing four goals from the field, all
within the 20 yard line. 1t was
practice, for the career to come,
as every try was missed. Redwood
scored two touchdowns, converted
once and got one safety.
An outstanding athlete of the
school in his day, Cuff was a
mainstay on the basketball teams
including the 1880 team which
was consolation winner at the
state meet. Versatile, he competed
in several events in track. He won
the javelin event at state meet
and competed in an AAU meet in
Chicago during his high school
days. He has also played on the
town baseball team.

Lambs No Pushover
For Cardinal Squad
CARDS PLAY ON AND,
OFF GAME TO WIN
FROM ECHO 1917

Although defeated in their first
two starts by New Ulm and
Tracy, the Lamberton High school
club which Redwood Falls meets
there Friday night is not likely to
prove a set-up.
Lamberton takes on tougher
opposition than most of the small
er schools but, through the years,
has held its own quite we'll. In
combining the district champion
New Ulm five to a 27 to Is win
on the New Ulm floor, the Lambs
showed considerable ability.
Tracy took them into camp AZ to
Is last Friday night, but Tracy
may have another of those Won
der teams which dazzled every
thing last year until upset uncere-
moniously at its district tourney.
Dagnar, Unger, Bellig and
Strommen are forwards on the
Lamberton first squad while Har-
rington and Eykyn are centers
and Marben, Fredrickson and
Schultz, guards.
The Lamberton second squad,
which will meet the Redwood
seconds rather than the junior
high team in the prelim at Lam
berton, includes Rasmussen, Mes
terud, Quinn, Langholz, Waibel,
Wegner and Moots.
The Redwood Falls Cardinals
made it two in row when they
romped over the Echo basketball
team 80 to II Friday night at the
high school auditorium. The
Cards played spotted basketball.
AT times teamwork and passing
were ideal. and again wild and
uncontrolled.
The game was married by many
fouls on both sides, a total of 80
personals being in the score book
at the end of the game. Duea and
Lang shone for the Cards on Of
fensive play land Fiene was out
standing for the Echoites.
The contest started slowly, set
ups were missed and passes were
wild. Diekmeier scored first with
gift shot and it was not until
the first quarter was we'll under
way that the Red Wave really
started to function. The quarter
ended in the Cards favor to l.
In the second quarter the sec
ond team saw action and succeed
ed in widening the margin at the
half-time to 16 to 4.
Echo came back in the opening
of the second half with new life
and a burst of speed, garnering
II points on nice plays by Fiene
and Schubert, but the rally was
short lived The Cards bore down
and played ball again, running
the score to 20 to Is at the start
of the last quarter. Echo was
held to two gift shots in the last
period while the Cards added 10
more to their total.
The starting five included Duea
and Diekmeier forwards, Lang
center, Lussenhop and Lauter-
bach guards. Others who saw &C
ton were Storts, Steele, Slocum,
StenSvad, Christensen who made
a very good showing in his first
Cardinal debut, and Neuschwan-
der.

ers." the Warner Bros. .-Cosmo-
politan production which opens
Friday at the Earle Theater is
an absorbing. gripping, upset
ting tale fashioned around a
topic taken right from the front
pages of today's newspapers.
The title is Self-explanatory.
The picture, made from an
original screen play written by
Robert Rossen and Leonardo
BercoVici, is thoroughgoing ex-
pose of the cancer of racketeer-
ing eating at the heart of al
most every large American com.
munity today. and. more i'm
portant. it tells in detailed
- and exciting - fashion how
this malignant growth can be
not only halted but eradicated.
Every motion picture is pro-
duced primarily for entertain
ment, and Racket Busters" is
no exception, but the Warner
studio has demonstrated again
and again that it knows the
trick of combining entertain.
menL and vivid exposition of a
live topic.
The most important of those
tricks of course, is providing
good cast and a good director.
Heading the cast of Racket
Busters" are such players as
Humphrey Bogart, in the role
OF a big-time racketeer; George
Brent, a. an independent truck
man VIII, helps stamp out the
evil; Gloria Dickson, as his
wife; Allen Jenkins. as Brent's
pal, and Walter Abel, as the
