Alexandria
Won ~ to Is
O-Sa-Ge Field VIII
Be Scene of Battle of
Friendly Enemies"

In October of 1887 Melrose had
a slaughter week. Starting from
the bottom ranks Melrose teams
busted off Sank Centre counterparts
until the climax hit fever proper
tons on Friday afternoon when the
high schools met and the locals
bowed 35 to Is in what was the
most devastating defeat of the sea-
son.
In the year before that an under
dog Sank Centre crew had marched
against Melrose, defeated them
marginally, and ended for the
Dutchmen a winning streak of IL
games.
Then relations in an almost
age-old rivalry snapped. The
tale of two cities was an
estranged one for two years;
each sat in its own camp await
ing the day. pa
The day is here!
Melrose, repeating it's champion
ship drive in the Granite Six Con-
ference, will meet Sank Centre Fri
day evening, November 10th, here
on O-Sa-Ge field. Sank Centre,
definitely under-pups, defeated by
Alex last Friday q to 0, will meet
Melrose.
In that Alexandria game,
playing the strongest western
team in years, Sank Centre, de-
feated decisively, rose to its
greatest heights as a defensive
club when they STAYED Alex off
three times in the first quar-
ter, rammed deep in Alex ter
ritory themselves. But they
couldn't keep it up for ever.
A scoreless first quarter found
Alex boring in three times. Twice
they lost the ball on downs, once
on fumbles. They scored early in the
second. After that on a forward
lateral combination Sank Centre

from defensive giants, to offensive

they go. They marched out in

course Of these blazing BUGS. .

BUGS GO RAZZLE
DAZZLE IN LAST GO

It was a dazzling display of fanci-
full football on O-Sa-Ge field Friday
night when the Buccaneers wound
up their season with headlights
blazing full tilt. Then the ball
game over each downed a steak,
which may account for the fact
that though the team was limited
to Is men, the outfit averaged
more than ITO pounds to the man!
In their first scoring drive they
used three plays, and two of them
were completed on laterals.
Butch Egan's delayed line bucks
were consistent ground gamers all
evening. ;. Denny Ethun swept up
yards to add to his running laur-
els, as did Dickhaus. But FL
yer, the lad who called signals and
did other odd jobs on the team,
made one of the sensational runs.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1939-11-09

had scored. But it took them four
downs on the punch. Butch Egan
dived over the pile to score. The
attempted kick was blocked.
In seven minutes Of the third per-
iod, after that first Morris score
in the second, the boys scored.
Featuring Ethun, Dickhaus and
Egan, on end sweeps, line play, and
delayed bucks, they swept down to
the three yard line from the mid
field stripe to score. It was Dick
haus who scored from the three
yard line. Elver's attempt to drop
kick the point was short.
Then late in the third the boys
started from Morris 40. A penalty
and some unusual line work by
Morris had stopped the lads, and a
penalty had made it Bird and IA
to go. Ethun was sprung for a Is
yard gain down to the rs yard mar
ker, and the march was on. Egan
started line buck, found himself
in trouble, lateraled to Dickhaus
who got Is yards before he was
hauled down on the II yard line.
Ethun slanted off tackle for four;
Egan swung through on a delayed
buck to score. Then a pass from
Dickhaus to Elver was good in the
flat for the point. That pass was
one Of those dramatic affairs. Short
by a little, it DETECTED from the
upstretched fingers of brewer, de-
fensive halfback, and Topped into
the waiting arms Of Elver.
Most of the fourth quarter feat
ured the only opening of a Morris
offensive. With Drever and Kat
zenmeyer a perfect pass combina-
ton, they advanced for three of
their four first downs, netted five
passes. some go yards. And built
themselves up a block house, that
crumbled slightly, but finally on a
break scored for them.
But the BUGS were all set to add
another touchdown to their final
game. Dickhaus lateraled to Ethun
who moved up to the As. Ethun
danced his way to the Morris side
on 20 yard gain. Dickhaus took
nine yards to the % yard line. Egan
picked up a short first down. Ethun
cracked five over center. Then not
satisfied, they tried passing and
Katzenmeyer halted that last
march, intercepted Ethun's pass,
was brought down on the 10 yard
line.
But there was more scoring. Drew
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1939-11-09

sprung for a 45-yard gain to the
Alexandria 16 yard line. They fold
ed on their one offensive punch.
With two minutes to go in the half
Alex, with 4th down and 6 to go,
pulled a supremacy smart piece of
football, rammed the yardage on a
play to the man in the short posi-
ton, caught Sank Centre anticipat-
ing a punt. They moved on to
score.
This week Harvey is faced with
the old bugabo. He has team he
knows Is defensively strong, but
with little offense to back it up,
can they last? THAT Alex score
doesn't indicate the full defensive
strength Of the boys" he said.
"They should give Melrose a real
tussle."
Melrose comes to the game here
Friday defeated only once by st.
Johns, and tied with Sank Rapids.
They're in a fine spot for shake
down-but this is Melrose the boys
are playing. A Melrose that is

how mediocre has in history risen

ire.
In their defeat over Long Prairie
"a team that only eked out victory
over Sank Centre-Melrose is re-
ported to have played the smartest
ball game of their career. Yet
against Foley, a team that beat
Sank Centre 6 to 0, Melrose had
its hands full beating them to 6.
So toss the dope buckets aside,
for there's little indication Of the
strength Of either Melrose or Sank
Centre when the two meet each
other. Each is set for this battle
though on paper Melrose holds a
substantial margin.

Change Date of
Football Game
MelrOSe-Sauk Centre Tustle
Will Be Held Friday
Evening Under Lights

With one of the biggest
crowds of the season expected
contingent Of course on the
weather-it was announced this
week that the final scheduled
football game for the 1889 sea-
son with Melrose, a resumption
of athletic relations suspended
in 1887, has been changed to
Friday evening, November 10th,
on O-Sa-Ge field at 500 o'clock.
Announcement of the change
from originally scheduled Arm
istice Day was made by Prin-
cipal f. w. Olson as the last
game looms with the old rivals.
That weather contingency
may yet dump the bucket, it
was limited. For if the week
gets cold and the turf freezes,
both Sank Centre and MelrOse
will be agreed to cancel the en-
gagement.
It was learned that Melrose,
with a team that repeated its
Granite Six Conference cham
pionship with a Z to 6 victory
over Foley, was pleased with
the date change. Said Carl
Carlson, editor of the MelrOse
Beacon, There's been cOnsid-
cradle pressure down here to
have the date changed. There
should be a good turnout at
that game" Commenting on
