First Quarter
The Falls won the toss and chose
to defend the south goal, while Stout
chose to kick. Smith received the bali
and advanced it to the center of the
field After the first lineup it was
evident that the Red and White was
in with all the drive they had and
drove through fer first DOWNS but
were penalized for holding. Smith
then kicked to the opponents thirty
yard line. On the third down Stout
was penalized fifteen yards for hold
ing and later failed to make the dis
lance. The Falls failed to gain dis
lance and were forced to kick. Hef-
from made a good tackle on the ten
yard line. The Falls were again pen
allied for holding. Still Stout could
not gain distance. The Falls made
distance but were penalized as often
as good gain was made. The Falls
recovered the ground lost land for
ward pass to Morgan Melted twenty
five yards. In the next series of
plays the ball was carried to the one
yard line but was lost to Stout on
fourth down. Judisch kicked out of
danger, but the ball was brought back
to the twenty-five yard line where our
team again started line smashing.
The quarter ended with the Falls in
possession of the ball on the twenty
eight yard line. Score 90.
Second Quarter
In two downs the ball was carried
eight yards. Morgan was replaced by
Gurnoe. On the next play Gurnoe
made successful drop-kick from the
thirty yard line. Score 80. After
this play the gains made by the Falls
were offset by penalties. The ball
kept moving from the center of the
field toward Stout territory, and at
no time was the River Falls goal in
danger. Gerretson and Judisch were
both injured during this quarter, Ju
disch being replaced by Joyce. The
Falls made three first downs, and
Stout completed pass for thirty
yards, but failed to carry the ball fur
Their. The quarter ended with the
ball on Stout's twenty yard line.
Third Quarter
MacAndrews was substituted for
Gerretson. On opening the half,
Stout chose to receive. Smith kicked
the ball to their twenty-five yard
line. Here Bergman, right guard,
went out with injuries. River Falls
made first downs three times in sue
cession, Smith and Reincke carrying
the ball. Stout failed to gain and
were again forced to punt, M. Smith
making a good return. In the next
play, M. Smith carried the ball
through their line and after being
tackled was hit by Damberg. This
blow broke Smiths collar bone and
will put him out for the rest of the
season. Gerretson went in for Smith.
The accident only served to whet Riv-
er Falls fighting spirit and two first
downs were made. On the next two
plays two penalties were called caus-
ing a loss of twenty yards. A pass
! failed and the ball became Stout'S on
their own forty-five yard line. Stout
completed pass and an end run max
ing first down, and two more passes
gave them two more first downs and
placed the ball close to our goal line
Here they were blocked and after
failing to go through the line tried q
pass only to lose the ball. Doug
Smith went through for eight yards
but the old game of take away by
penalty lost fifteen yards. River
Falls punted out of danger. Stout
failed to make their downs. Casey
replaces Holman. The Red and White
were forced to punt. Stout attempt
ed pass which was intercepted by
Reincke, who carried ball to Stout's
three yard line. The game ended with
the ball in this position.
Although the team won only by a
drop-kick yet they outplayed Stout
everywhere except for few minutes
in the last quarter At the critical
moment they held like a stone wall,
later bringing the ball to within strik-
ing distance of the enemy's goal. A
minute more would have meant a
touchdown added to the score.
