Last Quarter Drive
Clues Cards II to s
Win Over Indians

III beaten in league competition,
fought to maintain that record
before a Homecoming crowd but a
last minute touchdown gave the
Cardinals a Well-deServed 1876
victory, their sixth in eight games
played this season.
The Cardinals were superior in
the line, a factor which counted
heavily in their favor several
times when passes, good runs or
fumbles gave the Indians scoring
chances. The backfields were
more even although there was no
brave to match the end runs of
Art Neuschwander whose gains,
behind excellent blocking, were
the highlight of the evening.
AS the first quarter started,
Redwood fans were reminded of

the ball in midfield.
The Indians moved up nine
yards and punted out on the Is,
from where Kohler marched for
one first down and NeuschWander
for another. Storts and Kohler
had gained seven more when a Is
yard penalty pushed them back to
the 80. Neuschwander made seven
back and Smith got down on the
punt to smear the receiver on the
80 stripe.
Wolverton and Otto broke UP

punted to the SO. Redwood moved
