RIVER FALLS 3—STOUT o A DROP kick by Gibson in the third quarter spelled defeat for Stout and put joy into the followers of the Red and White. It was the homecoming game of the season and the victory gave River Falls a nice lead in the conference race. Both elevens pul up a hard fight, the line work displaying unusually great strength. Weber showed up strong, breaking up many of Stout's offensive plays. Fcske also played a fine game, and at one time recovered u Stout fumble which put us in a position to score. Gibson at end played a of a game, and it was his edu-toe that won the battle. Jenson RIVER FALLS 9—ST. MARY'S 13 Gibson PLAYING against odds and also one of the strongest lines in the Minnesota College Conference, the Red and White nearly walked off with a prized victory, and only because of an unusually strong comeback was St. Mary's able to best our total of nine points, amassed in the first half. Early in the game Heggcn recovered a St. Mary's fumble under the goal posts and put the ball in a position for a dropkick which Brooks executed. In the same quarter Captain Nelson carried the ball over the line for the other six points. The second quarter found the Falls again within scoring distance, but unable to penetrate the strong defensive St. Mary’s line. Our visitors scored both of their touchdowns the last quarter by well placed forward passes, which the locals were unable to stop. Syvkxud Zamjahn EiyhtyEight

RIVER FALLS 6—EAU CLAIRE o SWINGING into smooth working order, the Falls opened their conference season by downing the strong Eau Claire aggregation 6-0. The locals received their first kick-off, and with seemingly little opposition advanced the hall seventy yards in four straight downs for the first and only touchdown of the game. But on top of this splendid beginning came disaster when Hademacher was lost to the team for good by a broken leg. Helwig took Rady’s place, but he too was forced out, his arm being dislocated early in the second half. The loss of two good ends was a bitter pill to swallow, but Gibson put up an excellent showing at that position, and continued to do so for the rest of the season. Several attempts to score by drop-kicking failed. Eau Claire was unable to work the ball within scoring distance, and the wonderful punting of “Ade Olson was the only thing which kept the Falls from further scoring. Dawson Hei.wk; Eiyliti Seven

RIVER FALLS 7—STEVENS POINT o Til K game a I the Point proved to be more of a kicking duel than anything else, Lowell Dawson getting away with some pretty punts, while Craney, of the opposition made some nice returns, keeping the ball well in neutral territory. The third quarter found the Falls with the upper hand, and by a varied offense of line bucks and a pretty pass from Dawson to Quandt, the champions put over the only touchdown of the game. The try for point was also made, making the score 7-0. Dawson’s kicking and Hcggcn’s defensive work were features of the combat. Jenson at tackle showed unusual offensive ability, and he also did some good defensive work. Brooks Eighty-Sinc
