Football The first football game played by Crandon was at Wabeno. Both of the learns were well matched for the opening event. Wabeno had the edge via :he air, but the Cards had the edge in the running game. Wabeno scored once in the last quarter which was enough for a vic.ory. This was done by a pass into the end zone. In the few minutes left to play the Cards were unable to advance far enough to score. It was a swell game and the home boys never gave up the fight till everything was over. The score at the end was Wabeno 6, Crandon 0. This was a non-conference game. The next game, which was played at home, was between the Cardinals and the strong Niagara team. This team had sorely defeated the Cards :ast year and the home 'boys were out for revenge. The Cards really put on :he pressure and ran the Niagara fellows around the field. The score would have .been much bigger if Crandon had not slipped up on a couple of scoring chances. The score at the end of the game was Crandon 12, Niagara 7. Niagara got their touchdown in the third frame by a plunge from the one yard line. Crandon scored both of their touchdowns in the second frame. This was also a non-conference game. The third game of the season was played at Elcho. The -Cards went wild against the weak Elcho gang and piled up a score of 53 to 0. The blocking, running, and passing was really beautiful that day. Almost everything went ight. The second string which was sent in even scored a touchdown. The Elcho boys never came within striking distance at any time. On that day the Cards looked like real champions. In the second conference game of the season the Cards tackled Wabeno at home. On that day the Cards once more started out like champions. A :ough break came in the second quarter when a Wabeno man intercepted a

Crandon pass and raced 75 yards to a touchdown. This broke the Crandon team's spirit. From then on everything was Wabeno. The score ended Wa-beno 18, Crandon 0. The third conference game saw Crandon at Minocqua. This game proved to be one of the best games played during the conference season. Although the day was cloudy, and a drizzling rain kept falling throughout the game, most of the scoring on both sides was done by passes. The Minocqua boys jumped to a fast stepping stall. Before the first six minutes had gone by Minocqua had slipped two touchdowns over the Cards on passes. They failed to make either of the extra points. That ended their scoring. Everyone thought the Cards would give up, but such was not the case. From then on the Card’s running, passing, and blocking picked up. Crandon’s first score came in the second quarter as a result of position by passes. The try for extra -point was good. The second touchdown came just in time to win the game. With only 1U seconds left to go a long pass by Crandon’s “Arnie IIcv-ber”, Jim Faulkner, was clamped on to by Chartraw who raced the five remaining yards for a touchdown. The extra point was missed, but it wasn’t needed. The score at the end of the game was Crandon 13, Minocqua 12. It was one of those games that only happen in movies. The Cards were well inspired the next Saturday when they went to Laona for an invasion. The field was wet and the running game was slowed up on both sides. The Cards once more took to the air and their passing attack worked like a charm that day. All of their points came as a result of passes cr positions gained by passes. The score at the end of the game was Crandon 16, Laona 0. The last and final game of the season brought the Crandon Cards into the championship game. They were facing Eagle River, the only undefeated team of the conference. The Crandon gang had lost but one conference game and were in second place. If they could beat the Eagles they would tie for championship. The game was played on the Crandon field, and the crowd out to witness the game was one of the largest ever to gather in the northern conference for such a purpose. The game was even throughout the first quarter, at the end of which Crandon led 7 to 6. From that time till the end of the game the Eagles powerful eleven put on the pressure. The Cards battled gamely the rest of the game, but couldnn’t withstand the tremendous off-tackle power plays of the invaders. The score at the end of the game was Eagle River 31, Crandon 7. Thus ended one of the most successful seasons the Crandon Gridiron Cards have ever had, but we sincerely hope other teams better it by far.
