Tubba Chamberlain, Herbie Kohls, Dave Hanson and the rest of the Eau Claire line completely bottled up the vaunted River Falls offense. The bruising tackles and crushing blocks were a little too much for the Falcons. Eau Claire scored late in the second stanza when a fumbled kickoff was taken by Schaaf and run to the 21. On the first play, Cliff Washburn flat-passed to Schaaf who bulled his way to the three. With only seconds to go, Berval Thorson plunged into the Falcon line to the one. On the next play, Thorson shot into the end zone to score. Emanuel converted. The Falcons scored in the second quarter when a long scries of running plays brought the ball to the thirty-two. Two losses and a penalty set them back to the 49, but with a third down and 27 to go, a long pass found Gene Cardinal alone on the ten and he waltzed across the goal for the game's first tally. The conversion was good. Cliff Washburn started the next drive by going off tackle to the Eau Claire 49. Schaaf took the ball on the next play and started around his own right end, but ran into a host of tacklers. He immediately reversed his field and ran to the opposite sidelines. Two Falcon defenders drove him back about fifteen yards behind scrimmage; so he reversed his field again and aided by beautiful downfield blocking, outdistanced the remaining tacklers and sped into the end zone. The placement was low. Eau Claire 13, River Falls 7.

The Blugolds faltered in their final game and dropped the encounter to Superior, 13-0. Dom Moselle, playing a superb game for the Yellow jackets, teamed up with Bob Zell, to score twice in the second half. Their first TD came after Moselle intercepted a Blugold pass on the Eau Claire 41. Moselle, Zell, and West ran the ball down to the ten yard line. The next play by West was a pass to the two. It was knocked down, but the officials ruled interference on the play and the ball rested on the two. In two plays Zell smashed over to score. The conversion was not good. Harry Wilson set up the next play by taking the ball from his own forty-three to the Eau Claire seventeen. Moselle brought the ball to the six but a penalty called it back. Moselle carried again and ran to the five. Moselle smashed over from the five for the final score. The conversion was good. An injury-riddled backfield and many bad breaks were contributing factors to the loss. Eau Claire was severely hurt by the loss of Perkins, C. Washburn, Buckli, Funk, and. for part of the game, Herbie Kohls. Eau Claire 0, Superior 13.
