An old friend is back on the foot
ball SCHEDULED you choose to call
football opponents friends and we
do-by peculiar chain Of circum-
stances. It's Foley which is town
down the road piece beyond ST.
Cloud, and a sizeable journey.
And the history Of the two schools
meetings is something. Despite
Sank Centres relatively late start in
football-in the year 1931-they did
fairly well in the encounters with
Foley. =. Foley appeared on local
schedules each year until last when
they mysteriously disappeared.
It's an interesting sidelight
that In that initial year Foley
finally beat the locals 10 to O.
But In 1882 were on the short
end of a Ia to 0 score. n.
But In 1888 the old see-saw took
care Of things and Foley edged
to q warm finish IL to 0. In
1884, however, it was a fine
rainy day and the Lads wallow-
ed in the mud with little other
results. And the game was q
scOreless tie. But in '35 Fol-
ey put on their war armOr
again and tipped through to
win 10 to Z; and-this see-saw-
ing doesn't end-Sauk Centre
took the game In 1886 with q
Is to 6 tally. In 81 q 200
pound fullback, Nidjilsd by
name, but easier to remember
as number 32-raised havoc and
Foley won IL to Is in a real
battle. Then In '38 the ON
nous silence.
The schedule was all dated up
and the boys had a nice full sea-
son when what should happen but
Parkers Prairie cancelled out. Some
say they have no football team
but substantially it seems 1t was
a conflict in their schedule. So
Parkers was scratched, and things
doomed darkly here. For who
should be second on the list but
Willmar, with a squad that looks
like a returning University lineup
But contact by telephone with
Foley established hole in their
schedule. And in between the cry
ing of the Foley coach, Harvey did
learn that they would be delighted
to trot over here Friday evening to
meet with the lads on O-Sa-Ge field,
You'd better be there by eight
o'clock, because that's when it'll
start. =.
Harvey was busting around like
a bull in a china closet when !
timidly approached him to ask
him about the boys. But I did get
a few pointers on what to look
for. Well start off with Berg
green who looks like the starting
center all right. Ray is probably
the biggest boy Harvey's had since
he walked into this school one fine
day in 1888. :. La Berggreen, who
held down the center post last year,
weighs about 100 and looks like a
real aid in defensive play. shan't
miss opportunity to tell you about
him, on accounta last year when he
was highly moderated by this col
umn. OF course, we came back
with much apologies and everything
was hunky dory. Next In line
with weight is Ray Moore, captain
and tackle, who probably goes un-
der the title of about 1865 pounds.
He should be able to tear holes in
those opposing lines. -. With Pot
ter at the other tackle and Arne-
son at an end you have the array
of returning lettermen on whose
shoulders rests quite a burden this
season. This definitely gives the line
the lead in so far as experience
is concerned at least. Harvey feels
it gives his starting line a pretty
good balance. On the guard
slots YOU have boys like Beste and
Botz and Kurrell as alternate. Bes-
tie is a brother to the Ed who a
few years back walked home from
football practice to the total OF
quite some mileage by the time the
season was over. And this lad is
doing the same thing I'm told.
Reinardy is the lad at the other
end. Odd thing about Jerome. His
parents and family moved away,
but with a slot in sight on the
squad he stayed to play footoail
In the baclfield, that Is some
what of pony proportions but
