The Sauk Centre herald., 1941-11-06

those days Friday with Halloween
tricks all wrapped up. In the
first place when the team went to
leave at 9:15 a. m. the fire bells
rang in the school. Students jump
ed from their classes, proceeded
with the usual fire drill to find
the team waiting in the bus. q.
Cheer leaders reused the students
to rousing send off. Trick
number one.
Up came trick number two.
-. Believing they had an af-
ternoon session with Appleton
the team left early in the morn
ing. When they got there they
found Appleton had lights for
a night game. As Lulu Kriesel
put it, considering the outcome
of the game with Sauk Centre
on top Z to 0, Appleton waited
all day for nothing. Trick
number three came on q double
reverse that put Jean Jewell
in his best capers for IS yards
down the field and the only
score of the game. -.
1t was Sauk Centres first vic
tory in a season laden with disap-
pointment for those boys on the
field. When the news Of their
victory reached here the night Of
Halloween when students were
dancing at party, the din reached
rafter-shattering proportions. g.
It was Mrs. George Berggreen who
put in the call that released the
heretofore unprecented tidings this
year.
John Cotton, Junior Schmidt
and Bob Rattle had their fin
gers crossed for Minnesota last
Saturday. -. For three years
the boys have listened to every
Minnesota game from the van
tage point Of Johns radio. ..
Last Saturday they broke that
succession from their listening
post. They believed It might
upset Minnesota's victory
chain. Reason for the break
Is that John has a new job and
Il working Saturdays. Junior
was I'm person at the ball game
and Bob was working. Gosh,
were they worried. :.
It almost appears that in Jean
Jewell Sauk Centre has found a
back that can go given the impetus
of some blocking and a play that
clicks. We've felt for long
that Sauk Centre had more than
its share in a dearth of naturals
who can run and punt. Jewell
in just few ball games has shown
he Is both a superb tackler and a
runner with some ability. FL
mer Proell too could have and
probably will next year rank as a
good back. He was injured in
the Glenwood game and will prob
ably be out Of service for the last
encounter against Melrose. :.
Proell's punting, passing and rum
ming branded him a boy for the
workhorse assignments that should
stand him in good stead for an
other year.
1t was a team that suffered
last minute arrangements
that dumped Appleton Friday.
PrOelPs injury, just when he
was moving to the fore, shifted ,
Lying from tackle to the full
back spot where he played his
first game. Coaches were
heaping few orchids on Her
mans play at the fb spot In
consideration Of his first ef-
forts. He could dig up the nee
essary yards for first downs.
-. So Eddie Kurrell moved
to q halfback spot where he
too played for his first time
shifted from fullback. That VIC
tory was largely q team effort.
The whole bacldield virtually
got into the play on a double
reverse. There was some stand
out blocking all the way down
the field for the fleet Jewell.
-. Particularly on the parts
Of Mooney, Grindy, the new boy
at end, and Lying. Bob Hans
mann In that game pitted
against one Of the best tackles
Of the year came out with one |
Of the games Of his career. -.
