Haodrick—■ The Tradition of an active athletic deportment at River Falls -a. uphold throughout she I94J-44 season because of tha good participation in sports by the few students onrollod and tha efforts of Coach Man ion to keep the ball rolling. With el the other schools in the conference and many other tchooh throughout the country dropping sports. River Falls still carried on despite the difficulty of scheduling games. Footbel and basketbal became a part of our physical fitness program and resulted in a very successful season. One major and one minor lettermen returned, end an additional seventeen men made up the footbel squad. This was something of a record because this number represented over half tha fellows in school. However, there were still not enough follows for scrimmage or replacements, thus adding to tha problems of tha Falcons Coach. Tha Falcons traveled to Northfiold for their first encounter and won the much needed confidence by defeating the Oies by a 20-12 count. River Falls received the opening kickoff, and in a sustained 0?ootfcUt m3 drive scored the first touchdown of the season. Wickmen. Foiler. and Johnson each counted once, end Wickmen converted twice. The next two gomes were ployed with a light but determined Red Wing Training School eleven. The Falcons scored easily to win. 40-0 end 26-0. bringing the record to three wins and no defeats. The last and most highly prized game of the season was tha homecoming game with the fast, aggressive Oies. Tha Falcons gave tha home crowd a thrill in tha opening minutes when tha das Sne was split wide open and fullback Feilor sprinted 79 yards for a touchdown. Feilcr crossed tha goal two more times, and tha Falcons won. 19-0. The entire teem worked as a unit to hold St. Olaf to a minimum of yards, at tha same time developing a tremendous offensive punch. The regular starters were: C. Fetter and Shock, ends: McCerdle and Goodspccd. tackle; Beyl end Larson, guards; Wirz center; Johnson. quarterback; Wickman, left halfback; Wise, right halfback; and A. Foilor. fullback. However, each member of tha squad played in every game.
