The Richfield Rams were shocked at their homecoming game by the Waco High Tigers, who scored two lightning first quarter touchdowns to upset the Rams, 14-7. The first shocker Was a first-possession touchdown with C. A. Miller sweeping right end for 28 yards. Next, the Tigers cashed in on a short Richfield punt for their second score. The Rams' score came after Jim Parrish recovered a fumble by Luft. After Reisig's gain of 6 yards on a fourth and five, Milton Painter scored. Griffis made the extra point. A goal line stand by the Rams came in the fourth quarter. Later the Rams had a fourth down and 1 yard to the goal. Reisig slammed over left guard and appeared momentarily to be over. Then Reisig was stacked by a gang of Tigers and the ball was spotted 6 inches from the goal. A thousand Ram- backer's hearts broke as the Tigers took over and ran out the clock.
