being costly, they each Melted good
gains and ended up in touchdown

men. Keith fumbled on La Crosse
20 yard line and recovered the ball
on the l yard line. Brown fumbled
and recovered the ball 5 yards be-
hind the goal line for touchdown
1t was, of course, lucky score, bur
it also showed that the locals had
on La Crosse in the art of picking
up the ball from the ground an.
getting away with it. In every in
stance it was free ball, but, while
the La Crosse men were trying to
fall on it River Falls player would
scoop it up on the run and retain it
Richards kicked off over the l.
Crosse goal line and the ball was
put into play on their 20 yard line.
La Crosse could not gain and punt
ed. Richards punted back. La
Crosse lost from to yards each on
three plays and punted. Richards
booted the ball back into La Crosse
territory Immediately. La Crosse
tried double pass and Nelson in
terfered and got the ball, carrying
it to their 5 yard line. Brown fin
ished it up, going through for
touchdown all draped over with La
Crosse tacklers. Whenever, on
fourth down, River Falls needed
from one to five yards or even more,
Schultz would call on this Mr. Brown,
and said Brown person was always
there with the needed gain. In
fact he never failed once, and sever
al times his progress was somewhat
hindered by the weight of three or
four La Crosse players on his back.
RIVER Falls kicked off and La
Crosse made a IS yard return. River
Falls seemed TO get lazy on account
of their easy going in the third quar-
ter, and in the fourth La Crosse
scored before River Falls could gel
back into the fighting spirit. Rivei

La Crosse tried the forward pass
three times without success. Moser,
who went in in the last quarter,
played whirlwind game. La
Crosse punted over the Normal goal
line and Nelson ran it back to the
IS yard line. Richards punted. La
Crosse tried the forward pass twice
but failed, and Moser threw Sorgel
for IL yard loss in an attempted
end run. La Crosse punted and
Richards punted back. La Crosse
worked one forward pass for a 2
yard gain but failed on three more
attempts. They tried to punt but
Moser blocked it and got the ball
River Falls made her first failure at
the forward pass and punted just as
the whistle blew. Final score, River

La Crosse had by far the best
team that River Falls has been up
against this year. They were fast
and they had fund of clever plays
and their weight was about the
same as the locals. Tomorrow Nor
