River Falls ran its string Of sea.
sons victories up to seven Tuesday
when Coach Klanrud's grid stars
trounced Roberts % to 0 after scor-
ing a rs victory at Eau Claire last
Friday.
The game at Eau Claire was play
ed on a slippery clay field, with a
high wind blowing to further handi-
cap the River Falls open game.
Eau Claire scored first after inter-
cepting forward pass in the secord
quarter and following up the advant-
age with three long gains thru the
line. Luebkeman failed at goal, and
when, in the third quarter Savage
followed his own touchdown with am
accurate dropkick, that single point
proved to be the margin of victory.
River Falls outplayed Eau Claire
in every department, but the muddy
field and high wind prevented speedy
runs and accurate passing, and made
fumbling general throughout the
game.
On Tuesday the West Siders skip
ped over to Roberts and ran up a 20
to 0 score against Elliott Fessen-
beeker's youngsters. The Roberts
boys were gamey bunch, and, ex-
cept when Klanrud played his regu-
lars, gave the Orange & White tribe
a run for their money.
Little Bobby Sutherland got into
the game in the last quarter and on
his first play wriggled through the
line for about eight yards. Swanson,
of the Junior High squad, was also
sent in, and scored River Falls final
touchdown. He also did some clever
taekling.
The River Falls high school record
for the season is as follows:
River Falls 80; Ellsworth 6

The reason that River Falls high

River Falls was represented by
the following lineup: DeVere Finn,

Zwolinski, guards; Ed. Linehan and
Ed. Day, tackles; Don Currier and
Ray Wiger, ends; Leo Kruger,

was substituted for Bailey, Grant
Chinook for Fosters Byron Bailey
for Currier and Harold Paynter for
Zwolinski. all substitutions being
made in the last quarter.
Kreuger and Swanson scored
touchdowns in the first quarter;
Swanson made another in the third,
and Bobby Sutherland ran IS yards
for the final score in the fourth.
Very good team play and some
splendid Individual work was dis
played by both teams, but River

contributed to the success of this
undertaking, St. Bridget's Congre-

Ingli's Boot Wins
Homecoming Battle
Dropkick In Fourth Quarter Brings
Red & White Victory Over Eau
Claire-Capt. Smith Has Leg
Broken

River Falls Normal celebrated its
Homecoming Saturday and enter
tanned one of the largest reunions
of former students ever assembled
here.
The big feature of the program
was River Falls 3 to 0 gridiron vic
tory over Eau Claire. But the joy
Of victory was tinged with deep re-
gret that the Red & White leader,
Captain Mike Smith, was forced out
Of this and the seasons remaining
games with broken leg.
Both bones Of Mikes left leg were
broken just below the knee when he
was tackled from behind late in the
third quarter. Mike was taken to
the Peoples Hospital, but he was
still on the side-lines to see Ingli
boot over the perfect dropkick which
brought home the bacon.
The first three quarters of the
game found the two teams so evenly
matched that the crowd was held in
frenzied anticipation of the only
thing that would mean seore-a
"break" near one goal or the other.
1t finally came, when, with seven
minutes left to play River Falls re-
covered an Eau Claire tumble on the
25-yard line. After three tries ut
the line, Ingli stepped back and boot
ed the pigskin squarely over the
Purple & Gold uprights.
Frantic Eau Claire efforts to score
on long forward passes were I'M
availing, and the ball was far down
in the visitors territory when the
final whistle blew.
While the loss of Captain Smith,
fastest half-back of the Pedagogic
conference, is q severe blow, the
performance Of Lowell Dawson, who
replaced the Captain at quarter
oack, was delightfully."- reassuring.
Lowell got off long, accurate punts
which kept the advantage for his
team in that line, and he smashed
through the hefty Eau Claire for
ward wall for several substantial
gains.
Smith started right out with a
35-yard run on the first play after
the opening kickoff, and several
times during the game he brought
the fans up screaming when he
cleared the first defense, and almost,
but never quite, got thru to open
ground.
Heebink was again the brilliant
linesman, and on one occasion block
ed an Eai Claire punt so sGuarely
that it bounced back from the center
of the field to within ten yards of the
goal. Mat. Nelson's defensive work
behind the line was really the star
performance of the game. Eau
Claire seldom made a charge that
didn't find Mat at the bottom of the
resulting spill. 0'Malley and Meier
did noble work in advancing the
ball on line plays, and the tackling
of Radamacher was one of the SEN
stations Of the game. The entire
line outplayed its heavier opposition
from start to finish, and all deserve
an equal share in the honors of a
glorious victory.
The officiating was Of the highest
order, and was commented upon by
