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

CANBY 0 - GRANITE FALLS 0 Everything the Lancers had was put into this game as it was the conference championship and Granite's homecoming. The Lancer defense was outstanding. The first half was a real battle highlighted by the Canby defense as they stopped Granite on the 1 foot line for three straight downs as the half ended. The second half went back and forth with no serious threats either way The only trouble, and that wasn't serious, was a Kilowatt named Larson, who could pick a ball out of the air the best you've seen since a guy named Mikkelson romped for the Lancers. The scoreless tie was, in a way, a moral victory for the Lancers. CANBY 0 - PIPESTONE 6 Again the defense was outstanding as an upset minded Canby team battled a big, strong Pipestone eleven who rated 6th in the state. The Pipestone running attack was stopped cold by the magnif- icent Canby defense. Again the defense stopped the oposition for four downs inside the 5 yard line.The scoring Pipestone quarterback Converse ran a bootleg to his right where he was trapped; in desperation he threw a long pass to Reynolds who with a screen of blockers ran for the touch- down. The point was missed. Incidently thi3 was the first time that Pipestone had to punt this year.Even in defeat, we say the Canby team won this game in every respect exceot for the score. CANBY 6l - Olivia 0 With a series of sensational runs, the Canby Lancers finished their season with a 6l to 0 vic- tory over a young Olivia team. The offense was hardly bothered by the Olivia defense. Christ- ianson went for U9 yards for the first tally and a little later Pertl went on a guard around play to score.In the second period Hunt went over from the 10 and again from the 2$ yard. Third period scoring found Johnny Snortum going over from the lU after Hunt had carried the kickoff from his own ten to the Olivia ill. A little later a spread play found Ormseth taking a pass frcro Olson for the 6th score of the evening. The reserves played the second half and scored three times. Bob Gubrud made two sensational runs of 30 and $0 yards. Kragness also made a nice run of k3 yards for the final score. The long evening ended for Olivia with a Canby walk- away 6l-0 X XXX We say hats off to the Canby team for a job well done. This years club wasn't big but they had the fight. They were playing good ball in the first game and they continued to improve through- out the season. Each game found them better than the game before. This is the best sign we know of to show you that this years team was putting out everything they had in every game and never let down. Again the Lancer staff says - HATS OFF FOR A JOB WELL DONE 1 i 1 5en or mmcD ■ oW orYvxv Xcro c C.Vm Tio.M'sOh Grene. VAov ora c JVlcvhYion 'XT)ujolukic.
