But now when we look back upon the wonderful season we had this year and piece together the bits of football history, we can well understand and realize the reason. Championship teams are made through the efforts of not one man or eleven men, but through the efforts of a whole school, united together in one spirit, a spirit that fosters a determination to fight to the finish even though odds be great. It was just this sort of spirit that kept our team on the top and sent them full of light into every gumc. The same spirit pervaded our ranks last year, and perhaps the glory of the championship in '24 gave added incentive this year. A week before the fall term opened, Coach Cox sent out a call for the veterans in order that an early start might be made. Those who formed the nucleus for this year's team were Captain Matt Nelson, Paulson. Rademacher, Lowell and Lawrence Dawson, Pat Ingli, Quandt, and Heggcn. With the opening of school came a wealth of good material which gave promise for a successful season. Owing to our early game with Eau Claire, intensive practice was necessary, and the men responded nobly. With the able assistance of Mr. Hershberger. Coach Cox soon had a well balanced team under way. a team which stopped every conference foe and tied with the state champions of Minnesota, Macalester. The splendid record, which this team has achieved, will go down in school history as one of the greatest, and it b with pride that we shall remember the State Champions of 1925. Ei'jhUj’Four

RIVER FALLS 12.—MACALESTER iz I noli IN the first game of I lie season the Falls met iVlaea I ester and battled them to a 12-12 tic. Although their first game, the Red and White showed wonderful possibilities, the line holding up fine against the haltering of the heavier Macales-tcr backficid. Dawson early in the first half, hut the kick for goal failed. Both teams offered a strong offensive, hut the lines offered too much opposition. Collins and Zainjahn played good hall at the guard positions. Quandt Dawson made the second score for the Falls in the fourth quarter. The wet field slowed up the game somewhat, hut the brand of football which the River Falls team exhibited gave promise of a success- ful season. RIVER FALLS zz—LUTHER o THE Falls tucked another victory under their arm when they shut out the plucky Luther eleven in the game played on a wet field, which caused many fumbles and lowered the score. The Luther team, outplayed and forced to take a defensive stand the whole game, put up a praiseworthy showing. Brooks put over a nice dropkick for the initial score, but the team was unable to make another score until the third quarter when Coach Cox put in his first string, which straightway pro-ceeded to run up a decisive score. Wcnnerherg played a good game in the fullback position. Radkuacher IImxkn Ei'jht'jSix
