Arnistice Day

Infected with a new spirit after
a first half that found them two
touchdowns behind the Earveymen,
Glenwood made a dramatic come
back last Friday evening, showed
Sank Centre into the complete cell
ar position of the West Central
Conference and won the ball game
in a last half domination IA to 10.
With little tufts of snow en-
broidering the field and spectators
generally frigid, the two teams bat
tied to pull out of the cellar posi-
ton of the conference. The game
ended a series of three conference
games for Sank Centre, gave Glen
wood it's only title win of the sea-
son.
This ball game of surprise and
domination first by one team and
then the other, each dutifully TAX
ing over a half, found scoring in
every quarter, relatively few fun
bles in spite of the cold weather.
Parallel after parallel can be drawn
from the game with both Glenwood
and Sank Centre having trouble on
a punt that landed the other in
scoring position.
Kicking off Sank Centre found
herself with the wind advantage,
but Mathre's return of that first
kick for forty yards minimized any
early attempts at a scoring thrust.
But right there things began to
happen. Glenwood lost yardage
when defensive play held tough.
Their attempt to punt out actually
lost yards from scrimmage. Rein
ardy, Harvey end, played heads up
to down that punt on Glenwood's
35 yard line.
Those thirty-five yards to the
goal were one marching succession
for the Sank Centre squad. Be-
hind fullback KurrelPs fine often
sive work at plunging the line, Sank
Centre moved down to the two yard
line on a succession of straight
plays. From that point Cooper
rammed for the score. They missed
Cooper's try at drop kicking for
the point. -, e.
Similarly Glenwood earned a
break on Sank Centre punt, and
the play was the one that won
the ball game. Late in the fourth
quarter, with about five minutes to
go, Sank Centre was on it's own %
after having STAYED off a goal
ward march. On the attempted
kick, the whole Glenwood line
swarmed in, and the punt was
blocked. With head up, Anderson
swept in, scooped up the free ball.
carried it to the two yard line
where he was dumped. Then Keller
driving through the line converted
the tying score. Glenwood rammed
the point that won the ball game.
With four and one-half minutes
to go Sank Centre started march
ing again. With a strong mixture
of Rays that involved Veneer on a
reverse and Jackson on the receiv-
ing end of Cooper's pass they NOV
ed for q rs yard gain to puncture
Glenwood territory. But desper-
ate passing attack failed in those
closing minutes.
Sank Centre, with a spirited first
half march, that rallied their forces
earlier, had missed the chance to
win the ball game. Glenwood, it's
spirit at a low ebb at the close Of
the half, came back with surpris-
ing accomplishment to take over
the ball game.
| In that first half two boys often
sively stood out who haven't been
able to show real form before. One
was Kurrell, the boy who was shift
ed to fullback from the line, who
did the workhorse assignments,
paved the way for Sank Centres
first score. The other was Veneer,
nose-guarded halfback, who rose to
new heights in offensive play.
Early in the first quarter Kur-
rell burst through the line for
successive gains to deep Glenwood
territory. And Veneer right after
that first scoring play was away
for a thirty yard gain on an end
| sweep.
In the second quarter after a
Glenwood attempt to punt out, the
Sank Centre machine marched
again. This time one sweeping
play chalked up yardage with the
contributing factor to the subse-
quent score Vener's twenty-odd
yard run to the ten yard line. On
reverse taking the ball from
Rattle, Veneer swept down the field
to move into scoring territory. AS
