the second quarter Norris was still
without a first down.
Sank Centres forward was charg-
ing heavily, pressing every pass,
hurrying every punt. In the Sec
ond frame Trutna, tackle, and
Veeder, end, collaborated to block
punt at midfield. 1t was break
that was followed by Cooper's pass
to Veeder who moved for a first
down to the 10 yard line. From
there fullback Neal numbered off a
couple, but the hammering was
quickly squelched when an attempt
ed lateral fizzled and Morris recov-
cred on their own twenty.
With Manney leading the most
spirited attack Morris had shown,
and aided by a stellar left tackle
by name Of Retzlaff, Morris, near
the end of the half, took their first
down. Then swinging to passes
again, passes too hurried to get
off, Morris booted out on the fourth
down with a foot to go. And small
est man on the line, center Hans
mann, took the punt, lodged and
whacked up field for three yards.
AS the half ended Sank Centre suf-
fered her first loss from scrimmage
when Retzlaff sifted through caught
Cooper before he could toss the
pass.
BY half time the heat was tell
ing on both teams, but Sank Centre
had banged for a touchdown, a
total of four first downs, had car
ried the ball game into Morris cor
ner all the time, and held that club
to a single first down that had no
carry-over value.
But Veeder made the break that
set up the scoring succession for
Sank Centre in the opening of the
third. He recovered as Manney
was hit hard and the ball squirted
from his arms. Put deep in the
hole, Morris bristled for the at
tack, but a hole opened for Cooper
and he trundled for eight yards.
Then Sank Centre trotted out full
back Vandesteeg, the line gave him
openings and he banged his way
to the three yard line and on the
first play scored right over tackle.
His attempted kick was blocked.
A Sank Centre succession that
started way up field and was punct-
uated by two first downs was halt
ed in Morris territory on their own
10 yard line when Manney inter-
cepted Cooper's attempted pass.
Morris picked up it's second first
down on the succession, but Vande-
steeg through into the secondary
nipped them for a loss. Morris
punted out and Cooper's runback
got IS yards.
A penalty on Sank Centre early
in the fourth for illegal tripping
gave Norris it's third first down by
penalty. Their attempted pass fail
ed as Hoyer attempted to catch
Manney's pass in the sun. Neal
and Cooper took up the next charge
and alternated on two plays to get
a first down. Arneson plugging
along after a reverse brought an
other first down to the Morris 20
yard line and the boys bored in
again. Hit hard, Arneson was shak-
en- and for play Mooney substit-
uted. Neal cracked through the
line for two yards; Cooper got eight
but a penalty disqualified it. Kur-
rell went in for Cooper and Arne-
son moved back into the ball game.
Neal picked up a first down to the
nine yard line. Arneson, with less
than a minute to go, hammered
his way for three yards to the three
yard line. Morris made its only
stand here with a terrific pound
ing and beating in the heat Sank
Centre was stopped. Neal was hit
hard, fumbled and Morris recover
ed as the game ended.
