The Hudson eleven couldn’t seem to get their offense clicking in the first half, hut they caught fire in the second half with Jack Breault and Steve Sandberg each scoring touchdowns and “Automatic” Walt Johannsen kicking two extra points. September 23 HUDSON 19—GLENWOOD 6 Hudson got an early lead and kept it, with “Walt” Johannsen starring, by scoring two touchdowns and kicking an extra point. Hudson had been weakened by injuries and as a result many sub- stitutes saw action and gained experience. “Chuck” Nelson did some exceptionally good running on reverses with “Russ” Johannsen block- ing for him. Jack Breault “rolled” over the goal for Hudson’s last touchdown. September 30 HUDSON 13—SPRING VALLEY 0 Captain George Madson again led his team to victory over their arch enemy Spring Valley. “Bud” Zarske played beautiful defensive ball and kept the Valley boys on their heels bv intercepting four passes. Although Spring Valley had one of the toughest lines Hudson had met, Hudson’s line outcharged them and consistently threw them for losses. The offense began driving and “Walt” Tohannsen bulled his way for one touchdown, and Sandberg passed to' “Glue Fingers” Dave Borg for the second touchdown.
