HERKAL ISAACSON CUDNEY NYSTROM O'BRIEN FOOTBALL 1936 SEVEN lettermen reported to Coach Lowery in his first call for football practice. They were Captain Merton Wulf, Walter Herkal. Leo Stenback. Donald Hart, Charles Cudney, Thomas Rendler. and Lawrence Selvig. The Falcon prospects were hit hard at the start of the season when eight lettermen who were counted on heavily failed to return to school. After two weeks of intensive practice the locals opened the season in a game with Macalester winning by a 6 to 0 score. This game was played on a rain soaked field and the score was no indication of the Falcons’ superior strength. For River Falls Rendler, Wulf, and Marr, a freshman, played good ball. Displaying a brilliant aerial attack the La Crosse Maroons handed the Falcons their first defeat of the season by a 6 to 0 score. The Maroons scored early in the second period on the execution of three pass plays which brought the ball to the Falcon sixteen-yard line. Here Binter, a' Maroon halfback, scored on an off tackle run. The try for point was blocked by Carow, River Falls left guard. In the third quarter the Falcons made their only serious scoring threat, marching from midfield to the eleven-yard line, where the Maroon line held. Late in the fourth quarter the Maroons began a march on the Falcon goal which carried them to the locals' nineteen-yard stripe. At this juncture, however, the game ended, preventing all further scoring. HART [138]
