Rice Lake, 63 Chippewa Falls, 12 Saturday, September 26, Rice Lake met Chippewa Falls on the latter's field. In spite of the distance that we had to go to see the game, there were many stu- dents from Rice Lake there. There were several changes in our lineup, McDermott and Phillipsen both playing at half-back, and Herbert Paul playing right guard. The teams were evenly matched and it was a hard fought battle. The game ended with Rice Lake trailing, 12 to 6. Phillipsen secured our only touchdown in the Hrst quarter. Rice Lake, 393 Barron, 18 We met Barron October 2 on our own field for our first conference game of the season. Barron scored first, and our boys couldn't seem to get going. The half ended with Barron ahead, 12 to 6. During the second half we held them to one touchdown while we ran up 33 points. The boys showed the results of Mr. Olson's careful coaching. Rice Lake, 65 Cumberland, 0 We bagged our third victory when we played Cumberland on their own field, October 10. The game was a hot battle from beginning to end. The boys were unable to score in the first half, but they opened up and scored in the first few minutes of the third quarter. The game ended 6 to 0 in our favor. The score was made by Jimmie O'Brien, who received a pass from Don Patraw and carried the ball over the goal line. This is our second annual victory over Cumberland. Rice Lake, Og Spooner, 13 We went to Spooner on October 24 for our third conference game of the season. The game was a bitter battle from beginning to end, with Spooner having the edge on Rice Lake all of the time. Spooner got their first touchdown in the first half, and then came back in the second to score again. The locals fought hard but Spooner seemed too much for them. Rice Lake, 263 Bloomer, 0 On October 30, Rice Lake received Bloomer's kickoff and accounted for the first touchdown by a steady march down the field. The point after the touchdown was missed. On another drive in the second quarter, the ball was carried over the line by Phillipsen. Again the extra point was lost. In the third quarter Phil- lipsen intercepted a pass and ran T5 yards for the third touchdown. Chartier, in the fourth quarter, caught a punt and ran 65 yards for a touchdown. A beautiful drop kick added the extra point. Rice Lake, 6, Ladysmith, 12 We dropped our last conference game of the season when we met Ladysmith on their field on November 7. After we made three marches toward their goal, they intercepted one of our passes and ran it back to our 6-yard line. They scored on the next play, but failed on the point after the touchdown. McDermott made our only touchdown, after an 80-yard march down the field. Ladysmith scored their second touchdown after our line had held them to 6 inches in four downs. Again they missed the point. Rice Lake, 13, Spooner, 7 We met Spooner on their own field on Armistice Day for the second time this season. Both teams were keyed to win and tried their utmost to do so. In the first quarter Rice Lake marched down within Spooner's 5-yard line, but the Railroaders kept them from a touchdown. In the second quarter McDermott made the first touchdown for Rice Lake. Soon after, Spooner made a touchdown and the point afterwards. Both teams fought hard the second half, but McDermott made another touchdown in the fourth quarter. He also made the extra point. The game f-ndffl soon after, and Rice Lake had beaten the champs 13 to 7. l i lo-ll
