Alex DrubS
Sank Centre

Alexandria popped over to Sank
Centre last Friday and with the
usual string of players necessary
for a football team Coach Ander-
son brought halfback Reed and the
pass team Froeming and Rose.
They were quite enough.
Sank Centre could stop neither
of them at any time in the forty
eight minutes of the last home
game for the season.
Seven times during the ball
game, with plays originating
from either Reeds blazing
speed or Froeming's passing
arm, Alexandria marched over
Sank Centres goal. Alex won
the ball game 46 to O.
It was the worst defeat a Sank
Centre team has suffered in a long
time. There have been as great
scores as witness the Willmar game
of year ago, but none in which
the opposition took over quite so
handily.
The more touchdowns Alexandria
made, the more they wanted. 1t
became great fun.
In exactly three plays from the
kickoff, Froeming had scored. The
first score took about Is seconds
from the ball game. Twice during
the first five minutes Of the first
period, Alexandria had scored.
Sank Centre had kicked off and
Peterson handled the ball on his
own thirty yard line. Then almost
before the last spectator had buck,
led his galoshes in the crisp early
November air. Alexandria, scramb,
led around in the bag Of tricks
drew out the oldie sleeper play
Froeming's pass was good for for
ty yard gain on the first play. Their
Reed rolled up twenty yards to the
one yard line. Fullback Froemine
jammed the center of the line tc
score. Peterson converted in the
field goal route.
What fans saw in that game
the last home game for IL Sauk
Centre seniors-was an Alexandra
team determined that this game
should end their season in a rous
ing bit of glory that should labe
this 1910 club among the Alexan
dria greats.
That they made 1t Is tribute tc
great spirit among those lads or
the field. Even the second anG
third strings that subsequently
went into the game for Alex, were
determined to knock at Sank Cen
tres scoring door. The secont
string did it in the last few min
utes of the game and tied up thu
last six points for this Alexandra
club.
From the beginning it looked like
Sank Centre, with a heavier line
might roll out an attack too. Or
the first play after that first touch
down Jim Arneson grabbed a frs

down, streaking around end for fiji
teen yards. But a pass intended
for Bud Veeder was intercepted by
Eckman on Alexandria's As yard
line, and the tide swept back the
other way.
Again that boy Froeming, stand
ing back of his line, seemingly I'M
mindful there were others on the
field, uncorked a pass, laid it into
Pederson's arms. Peterson moved
down the field, outran last man
Arneson and scored on a 55-yard
pass and run.
Reed scored at the tail end of
the second quarter. What that boy
had was binding speed, a pair of
hips that turned as easily as most
peoples necks, and legs that romp-
ed up and down like pistons. In
the open field he could outrun any,
thing Sank Centre had. In broken
field, he lodged, cutback, spun off
tacklers. Often he went through
four and five well-intentioned tack
lers.
In the third quarter Sank Cen
ire never got out of the hole over
its own 30 yard line. The first at
tempt to punt failed when the pass
from center was low. Alexandria
took the ball on Sank Centres fiji
teen yard line. Two plays did the
business. Froeming picked up some
yards, but a penalty nullified it.
Then Reed, with Froeming throw
ing the block into last man Kuef-
Ter, scored.
Two plays later Rose recovered
a Sank Centre tumble on the 20
yard line. It started just like the
other one. Froeming hit the line,
made a nice gain, but was penal
lied for off side. This time it took
Reed two shots lodging around to
score. The attempt was good.
Alexandria rolled up 10 first
downs in addition to seven touch
downs. They pyramided by quar-
tiers in this fashion: four in the
first, three in the second, two in
the third, and one in the fourth.
Sank Centre got two in the first,
both on end runs by Jim Arneson,
and one in the fourth.
On fire with ideas, the Alex line
was charging heavily. They back
ed up their ace men, Froeming and
Reed. Top man Of the two was
Froeming. He played workhorse
roles, and as ace passer in the Gen.
trail Eight Conference, was the
most brilliant tosser on O-Sa-Ge
field this season. For shifty half
backs Reed is without a topper in
local competition this season.

Just what happens to teams in

they have played Sank Centre is
interesting. For the big time

we give you last Fridays battle

must have been fiction. Willmar
won, and get this, q to Is. .
Those kids must have been on fire.
. It will be recalled that up to
the time that Willmar defeated the
Main Streeters 7 to 2, they were
considered positively mediocre.
Oh, they were a game gang, small
and fast, but they were so much
less than the powerhouse of a year
ago that Willmar couldn't see these
kids as a great team.
Apparently they are just that.
Working like trojans to ease
out a victory over Sank Centre,
they put on an offensive against
GlenwoOd that made favorited
Glenwood step. And step
they did. They met fire with
fire. They must have forgot,
on both sides, about defense.
:. They just played football.
When the game ended
Willmar had the ball on Glen
woods one foot line and still
barreling away. It's almost
a Cinderella tale, for GlenwOOd
is the team that romped over

from collectors of jade, ancient

names of persons similarly disposed
in Hollywood. Another, from a
youngster obviously immersed In
movie lore, was enough to scare the
daylights out of all stardom. It was
this:

will attend picture. picking out a
