Against St. Charles the Red White won by the score of 25-0. With a chance to win the Whitewater Conference title the Indians were out for a victory when they met Lewiston. Both teams scored in the first quarter with Wabasha on top 7-6. In the second frame Wabasha proved they could come through by pushing over a touchdown just before the half ended to lead 13-6.
