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.

ff uiuiiiK many years by trouncing Winona Teachers of Winona, Minn., by a 27-0 score, the Eau Claire eleven of 1948 won their sixth game in seven starts. Scoring single touchdowns in the second and third quarters, and smashing over two more in the final stanza, the visitors were never in danger as they amassed a total of 385 yards rushing and nineteen first downs to their hosts’ 130 yards rushing and five first downs. Scoring honors were divided among four members of the Blu-gold squad, with Emanuel going over after taking a lateral from Ade Washburn, Dick Olson plunging over from the one, Bob Schaaf knifing over tackle from the 23 yard line, and Tom Rcidinger scor-r ing the last tally on a nine yard) skirt of his rfght end after taking a double hand off from Line Walker to Dick Olson. Emanuel completed three out of four conversion attempts. Playing their last game for Eau Claire, seniors Jack Earl Perkins and Captain Sam Young played excellent games for the Olsonmen, with Perkins piling up several impressive gains in the first half and Young proving a bulkwark in the line. Winona was definitely not up to the type of game the Bhigolds were playing and looked shoddy throughout. Poor organization and bad play calling seemed to be the main factor, in addition to a lack of good material. Eau Claire Blasts Winona In Season Ylfndup, 27 -Q
