The Mohawks came back strong in the second half how- ever; and scored once each in the third and fourth quarters. Thompton was Monte's big gun going over for both of their TDs. Pertl was the outstanding Lancer. CANBY 13 - CLARKFIELD 0 The Canby team bounced back from defeat to beat the Clarkfield Cards 13 to 0. The Lancer de- fense was outstanding - holding the Cards to 77 yards on the ground and lit in the air. Olson scored the first Canby touchdown by going around end from the Clarkfield 15. Pertl's kick was good. Olson again broke loose, with timely blocking, in the third period for the second and final score of the evening. Pertl's kick was blocked. CANBY 13 - DAWSON 12 Canby got by a squeeker by defeating a tricky Dawson eleven 13 - 12. Dawson's offense clicked in the first half with Sommerfield scoring twice to give them a 12 - 0 halftime lead. The Lan- cer defense bounced back and the offense started to click. Christianson scored from the 12 yard line and the point after was missed. The Lancers then displayed the best blocking of the year as Olson ran 92 yards for the tying touchdown. Christianson then went over for the point end- ing the ball game. CANBY 7 - ORTONVILLE 7 Homecoming saw the Canby team facing an Ortonville team and a boy named Kvidera. The game was a see-saw battle. Canty's one and only TD came in the first period when Hartsworm recovered a fumble and Christianson went over for the touchdown and the point. With 17 seconds left to play, Kvidera passed to Storiem for the touchdown. They ran wide for the point and the ball game ended in a 7 - 7 tie. CANBY 19 - MADISON 6 Canby dominated three quarters of play to defeat the Madison Dragons 19 to 6. The Lancer team scored on their first series of plays, taking the ball on their own U9; Christianson running wide for the score from the 7. Snortum ran the point. Snortum climaxed another drive by going over from the 2. His try for the point did not succeed. The third quarter found Madison marching from their own 10, grinding yardage out slowly with 7 straight first downs. Their try for the point failed. Canby then went to the Madison 1 yard line where Olson went over forth; score. The try by Sickels for the noint was short and the ball game ended in a Lancer victory. 24
