Red & White Victory
Over Stout Features
Homecoming Celebration

Although River Falls Normal won
from Stout here Saturday by the
margin of single drop-kick, the
score does not truly indicate the re-
!ative power of the two teams.
The Coxmen had ample opportun-
ity to score at various times through
out the game, but seemed to be al
fiicted with an overconfidence which
they could not throw off sufficiently
to put the needed punch against
Stout's desperate stands under their
goal posts. Not once in the entire
battle did Stout make the slightest
scoring threat, and, except for brief
squirt in the fourth quarter, the ball
was never on the Falls side of the
50-yard line.
The Red & White defense, with
Weber, Gibson and Heggen starring
on the line and Mat Nelson behind it.
stopped the Stout drives so easily
and thoroughly that the offense
seemed to feel that they could score
at any time and that there was no
need to hurry about it.
They gave Gibson three chances to
boot over a drop~kick before he scor-
ed one in the third quarter. This
came after Lowell Dawson dashed As
yards to the 15-yard line and Stout
had warded off a touchdown and
caused Gibby to miss his second at
tempt. Stout tried one of the old
time criss-cross plays, but Heggen
double crossed the play and threw
Kummerow for 10-yard loss and
Stout was forced to punt, the boot
going almost straight up into the air
and grounding on Stout's 30-yard
line. Heggen then caught a pass for
a 10 yard gain and after three line
plays failed Gibby booted over a drop
kick for the only score of the game.
At the opening of the fourth period
Stout put on squirt that brought
them to the Normal's 40-yard line,
where Mats wrecking crew braced
and ended the visitors only effective
offense.
