Schlagenhauf was greeted by 106 hopefuls upon issuing his call for opening practice. This was a far cry from the days of the man power shortage. It was a struggle to find enough equipment to outfit all of the candidates, but everyone was able to make his bid for the squad. The first game of the season came after only two weeks of practice, and much experimenting had to be done, as most of the men were new to the coaching staff. Despite this handicap, the Falcons led a highly favored St. Olaf eleven, 6-0, at the half before bowing to the Oles, 13-6. Schmit made the River Falls touchdown. The first home game found the Falcons meeting a heavy St. Cloud eleven. Schock and Cardinal scored in the second quarter for River Falls to pave the way to a 12-6 victory. The following week River Falls defeated Stout, 20-0, before the largest home crowd in history. This time Schmidt teamed with Schock and Cardinal in the Falcons scoring parade. Playing their third consecutive home game, River Falls rolled over Northland College of Ashland, 26-0. The Falcons passing gome was at its best in the first half, as River Falls scored all 26 of their points. The reserves played the entire second half. The Falcons played the Blue Golds of Eau Claire for the Zornsmen homecoming and were handed their first and only conference loss by 19-6. Eau Claire scored twice early in the first period, and from then on the Falcons dominated the play but were unable to hit pay dirt more than once. Superior was the Falcons next foe in a game that proved to be a thriller. For three periods they battled to a scoreless tie before River Falls was able to score on a pass from Tobias to Feiler. Wins converted the extra point. Superior roared back after the kick-off and also scored on a pass and converted. River Falls marched to the Superior 13-yard-line, but time was running out, so a field goal was attempted but blocked. River Falls 7, Superior 7. Homecoming found the Falcons defeating a stubborn La Crosse team, 13-9. River Falls scored both times in the first period on runs by Schock and Tobias. A bad pass from center was recovered by Tobias and was tackled in the end zone to give La Crosse their first two points. Late in the second quarter the Indians started a drive to the Falcons’ goal and scored on the last play of the first half. The second half was a punting duel with neither team able to score. The game was marked by the attendance of a large number of veteran graduates. Hamline furnished the opposition for the season's finale in a game played in the mud. It was a see-saw affair, with neither team able to get their scoring machines rolling on the wet turf. The Falcons scored first, but the lead was short lived as the Pipers came right back to score. Both teams failed to convert the extra point, and the game ended, 6-6. River Falls finished a half game behind the championship Superior eleven in the conference standings. Only two members were lost by graduation, so an even better season is expected next fall. Ilnek rowi Gnvlr, Olcson. I.nrum. Moore. Ciirilliiiil, Wlekninn. Con eh !eoru'e Selilugenliuuf.

The starting lineup engineered a 48-21 lead at halftime, and reserves played all but the last four minutes of the second half. Gibbs rippled the nets for 19 points, while De Long scored 16. Delss added II and Benson gave his usual brilliant display of floor work and passing. Nyland kept the score reasonably close by totaling 22 points for Northland. RIVER FALLS N — ST. CLOUD 34 River Palls closed their home season In spectacular fashion, as Nate Dc Long wrote basketball history by scoring the stupendous total of 51 points In a game which saw the Falcons pulverise St. Cloud 89-18. Dr Long scored 18 points In the first half In which River Falls worked to a 21-25 lead. Then the blond pivot ace broke loose, scoring on rebounds, push shots from the corner or free throw lane, short layups, and all shots Imaginable, to wind up with the unbelievable total of 51 points, lie Long’s mates fed him beautifully and Gibbs, Delss, and Henson had 21. 10, and 10 points, respectively, In putting on a brilliant offensive display. Guard Henry Olson led St. Cloud with 22 points, a very respectable total but paltry compared to De Long's 51 markers. RIVER FALLS 321 — LA CROSSE 34 The Falcons closed their regular season by dropping a one point decision to a revengeful La Crosse club which had absorbed an 89-40 defeat on the Falls court. This loss gave the champion River Falls club a won. 2 lost record In conference play. For awhile it looked as If the Falcons would have an easy time of It. as they raced to a 20-6 lead, only to have the Indians strike back and gain a 35-54 halftime lead. Rodah. the La Cross,- ace. was in excellent form and dropped In 23 points to lead both teams. Nevmen Henson threatened to pull the game out of the fire as he scored 20 points, tallying them on long push shots. De Long scored 14, despite the fact that La Crosse had two and three men guarding him. ItIVEIt FALLS 07 — OSHKOSH 33 Iii n game played In I ho Rau Claire High School gymnasium, the River Falls Falcons won the State Teachers College championship and also the right to compete In the NAIH tournament In Kansas City by defeating the Southern Division ch’ampions. Oshkosh. 47-55. Oshkosh jumped off to an early lead, as they scorched the nets with sensational long shots. Then De Long and Company swung Into action, closing tue gap. finally Heine the score at 24-all. and then with “Big Nate rolling them In. biased to a 37-26 halftime lead. That was the ball game, as In the second period De Long scored at will, and Benson pat on a shooting display of his own. Replacements finished out the game, which was a great one all the way. De Long scored 55 points for a superlative performance, while Benson had 14. Glbba. Delss and Ifenneman played brilliant defensive games. Ritchie with 17 and Luker with 14 were the Oshkosh offensive leaders. RIVER FALLS 80 — MARSHALL COLLEGE 113 NAIB Tournament at Kansas City In the most spectacular game of the entire NAIB tournament, the Thundering Herd, Marshall College of Huntington, West Virginia, eliminated the Falcons of River Falls in the first round of play by the amazing score of 113-80. The fast breaking Marshall quint presented a brilliant ball handling team which swished in shots from any spot on the floor, and the Falcons were unable to cope with the Thundering Herd. However, River Falls showed an offense all its own in the person of Nate De Long, who shattered the NAIB individual scoring mark by totaling 50 points to eclipse the former mark of 38 points. The giant Falcon center was unstoppable, as he stuffed 22 baskets through the hoop and added 12 free throws in making his sensational record. Newmen Benson was injured early in the game, and his loss seriously impaired the Falcons' chances. For his brilliant performance De Long was named to the second Little All-America team, although he played in only one tournament game. River Falls fans can well be proud of Coach George Schlagenhauf and his Falcon squad. They lost to Marshall, the eventual champions, but in doing so showed an undaunted offense in the person of De Long. The Falcons did not have an opportunity to prepare a defense for the champions from West Virginia, and as a result were swept off the court, as Marshall connected on better than 50 per cent of their shots. The 1946-47 basketball season saw Coach George Schlagenhauf s Falcon team win the first Teachers’ College basketball championship for River Falls since 1935-36. Besides winning the northern division championship. River Falls won the playoff against the southern division champs, Oshkosh, to win the Wisconsin Teachers College title. Their win against Oshkosh earned them a place in the NAIB tournament at Kansas City, and thus they became the first River Falls team to compete for national honors. The Falcons lost to Marshall College of Huntington, West Virginia, in the first round; but not before the two teams had smashed several records. Marshall went to win the NAIB tournament. The most outstanding record was Nate De Long’s total of 56 points which beat the previous record of 38 set by Fogo of Pepperdine College of California. De Long tallied 40 points in the second half for another record. For this performance De Long was placed on the second Little All-American team, despite the fact he played in only one game. The 1946-47 Falcon team was the highest scoring aggregation in River Falls history, as they averaged 60.17 points per game against their opponents 52.48 points. Falcon fans were treated to several brilliant exhibitions by the sharp-shooting De Long and company, their 89 point splurge against LaCrosse and St. Cloud being the high lights of the home games. TJhumbnaiL Sketches Xewmen Benson—the only non-GI on the team, this five-foot eleven-inch freshman from Drummond came directly out of high school to earn a first team berth with the Falcons. A dazzling, brilliant ball-handler as well as a spectacular one-hand push shot artist. Benny provided the spark for the team. Very consistent. Benson could go at top speed throughout the entire game. A team player all the way, Benson was given honorable mention on the all-conference team. Eugene Dciss— Booty is a sophomore and played his second season on the Falcon varsity this past year. A lefthander. Deiss who is a local River Falls boy. thrilled the fans with his side shots and by his ability to drive underneath the basket and hook them in. Booty” averaged better than ten points a game and in several games went over 20. He also was given all-conference honorable mention. Harry Gibbs—This freshman from Madison showed River Falls fans some of the best guard play they have seen in years. A cool, steady performer. Gibbs was uncanny with his long left-hand push shots and was, moreover, an outstanding defensive player who could be depended on to out-score his opponent. Along with Benson and Deiss, Harry was given honorable mention in the conference. Jack Henneman — Big Jack. another River Falls lad, left the scoring to his four team-mates and concentrated on setting up scoring opportunities for them. This sophomore was a rugged defensive player whose rebound work and all-around floor play was outstanding. Never taking many shots. Jack came through in the clutches for several timely baskets. Nate DeLong — The Pride of Chippewa Falls, this six-foot six-inch center won national honors by his brilliant play. Averaging over 21 points a game, Big Nate was the backbone of the champion Falcons, not only for his scoring but for his rebound work and defensive play. De Long won all-conference honors and second Little All-American laurels as well by virtue of his record-breaking performance at Kansas City. His 51 points against St. Cloud and 35 tallies against Oshkosh were outstanding achievements. Opposing teams showed their respect for De Long by assigning two or three men to guard him, but “Big Nate Just kept pouring them in. Not one to hoe the spotlight, the friendly DeLong was a great team player and above all a true sportsman. Reserves such as Charlie Most, “Bud Thompson, lanky Jerry Healy, little Gene Cardinal, Dan Demuiling, and the veteran By Brooke filled in for the starting five and came through with good performances, thus easing the burden of the first five. Most could always be depended on for a couple of buckets when they were needed, and Healy scored 19 points against Winona when De Long was injured. All in all, a truly great season for the Falcons, and a tribute to Coach Schlagenhaufs coaching, as in his second year as River Falls head mentor he leads the Red and White to a state championship. gas. is« 3sS!-arA iss. %ms. ptfgsx: Ilnck rowi Manager M.

At the opening practise sessions approximately forty candidates reported for duty. There are many outstanding prospects among those reporting and all indications point to a strong nine which should prove itself in conference play. Coach Sjowalls’ 1946 team was undefeated in games played with conference schools. However, the conference was conducted on an informal basis. The 1947 aggregation will be shooting for the conference baseball title to add to the basketball championship. Other 3ntxamuxal SpoxtA Table tennis was another intramural sport in which keen interest and competition took place. Although run largely on an informal basis, a tournament was held in which 32 entries took part. Douglas Clark, a former college table tennis champ, and Jerry McGill emerged as the outstanding players in the tourna-ment.Plans are under way for a softball league, an all-college track meet and other intramural activities. The interest shown in intramural sports this year assures the success of the spring intramural program and full participation is expected. Tennis facilities are available as well. Swimming was conducted on an informal basis throughout the year. uhe Women’d Atitle tic Association OFFICERS PAT COX - -- -- -- -- - President DOREEN BARFKNECHT..........................Vice-President LORRAINE PALAN........................Secretary-Treasurer MARY LOUISE BRANSTAD, JEANNE BAILEY - Advisers BETTY BENDER DOREEN BARFKNECHT EVELYN BJORNSTAD LOIS BRANDT ELAINE BROWN PAT COX GLORIA CREE AUDREY DRISCOLL MEMBERS DOROTHY EATON ANNA FIELD ELAINE GIBBON BERNICE HENDRICKSON AUDREY HYGNSTROM GRETCHEN LUEBKE HOPE METCALFE MARJORIE NELSON JEAN OWENS LORRAINE PALAN ELAINE PETERSON DOROTHY RUMPFF JEAN SCHAER RUTH SEEKAMP MARILYN VANDEBERG BEVERLY WALDEN Honor Trnm In Banketball The purpose of the WAA is the promotion of women's intramural athletic activities. To this end, the group entertained prospective members at a picnic in the park on September 17, at which softball was the evening's program. The year's first team sport was hit-pin baseball, a game with the elements of soccer and baseball, which is played on an indoor baseball diamond. Elaine Gibbon was chosen manager of this sport. A freshman versus upperclass tournament was held with the upperclassmen emerging with a five game to three victory. : •. At the close of the first term the WAA’s very capable adviser. Miss Mary Louise Branstad, left the college to become Mrs. W. E. Ireland. The organization presented her with a lovely blanket as a token of their appreciation of her work here. Miss Jeanne Bailey, a former personnel officer in WAC, took over the women's physical education department and became adviser to the WAA. Basketball was the team sport of the winter term, and under the guidance of Miss Bailey the girls participating practiced fundamentals and worked on plays and rules. Ruth Seekamp was elected student manager for the sport. The WAA accepted an invitation from The Stout Institute of Menomonie to play basketball at their “Sports Night on March 7. An honor team of twelve1 members represented River Falls and defeated the Stout team, 24-13. l ln '«ln l.iiiirhron On March 22, the WAA presented its big event of the year, a rejuvenation of the playday which had been a pre-war annual event. The athletic associations of Stout, Eau Claire Teachers College, and Macalester College of St. Paul were invited to attend. Basketball and volleyball were the team sports with individual participation in swimming, badminton, and ping pong. The River Falls volleyball team captured the championship by edging Eau Claire in the finals, 36-34. In basketball the upperclassmen of River Falls won their morning games to reach the finals along with Stout. River Falls came out on top by a 24-19 score. Miss Opal Knox of the English department and Miss Bailey divided the refereeing and umpiring of the basketball games, and Miss Miller of Stout and Mrs. Fagan of Eau Claire officiated the volleyball games. A luncheon was given at 12:30 where the ladies of the Eastern Star served the WAA members and their guests, numbering close to 100 people. Dr. Eugene H. Kleinpell of River Falls welcomed the guests and urged the extension of women’s intramural athletic activities. Following the recreational sports in the afternoon, Miss Irma Hathom and Mrs. E. H. Kleinpell received at a coffee hour to conclude the day’s activities; Hope Metcalfe and Ruth Seekamp were the co-chairmen in charge of the playday. WAA ArllvIlIrN The WAA of La Crosse extended an invitation to their playday for Saturday, March 29, and the River Falls WAA gladly accepted. Again volleyball and basketball were the team sports, although the various schools, Eau Claire, Winona, La Crosse, and River Falls, did not play as units. A musical interlude, featuring solo and group singing was presented before the luncheon. Following the luncheon, the hostesses, mostly physical education majors, offered assistance to beginners in shuffleboard, badminton, ping pong, quoit tennis, and swimming. Softball, tennis, badminton, and archery were in order for the spring term's activities. A tournament in softball was promoted, as there were many eager members of last year’s teams ready to join the freshman enthusiasts. Instruction in tennis was offered in physical education classes and, with devotees of previous years’ instructions, a lively tournament followed. Badminton and archery are purely recreational sports and there were no tournaments sponsored, but there were many requests for instructions to which Miss Bailey complied by teaching the fundamentals of both games. The WAA sponsors the American Red Cross senior life saving class which Miss Bailey conducts on Tuesday evenings. As a financial project the WAA sold Falcon T-shirts to the students.

AMES MARY FRANCES HAWKINS Keeping in touch with modern drama, developing a finer appreciation for the more worthy plays, and, in all ways possible, fostering dramatic interests in the college are the purposes of the College Masquers. To entertain prospective members, a picnic was planned at the city park on September 19, and, although a heavy rain was falling outside, the Masquers enjoyed roasting wienies before a blazing log fire in the lodge. Twenty-two people expressed a desire to join the club at this meeting. Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew was selected as the Masquers' main dramatic effort of the fall term. Beth Lane as the shrew and Philip Froiland as her husband headed the cast of the very successful production. For the play the Masquers secured authentic Elizabethan costumes from the Hooker-Howe Costume House in Massachusetts. A matinee was presented on the afternoon of December 11, and was attended by students from various high schools in the vicinity, including those in River Falls, Ellsworth, Spring Valley and Baldwin. This year the Masquers rejuvenated the traditional Masquer Formal with added embellishments. They sponsored the Mardi Gras, a masked ball, for which Clyde Frawiey's orchestra provided a charming musical background. The North Hall gymnasium was decorated with garrishly painted murals, streamers, and brightly colored balloons, further developing the atmosphere of gay New Orleans at Mardi Gras. A one-act play. She’s More to Be Pitied than Scorned or Parted on Her Wedding Morn, under the direction of Lorraine Palan, was presented at Assembly on November 21. The cast of this farcical melodrama included Lois Brandt, John Winn, Emily Wahlquist, Marjorie Nelson, Marjorie Miller, and Francis Fogerty. For their spring production, the Masquers chose an original three-act comedy. Birds Have Nests, by their director, Mr. Carleton Ames. Millicent Skone and LeRoy Dubois played the leading roles in this play which was written around the trials and tribulations of a young veteran, his wife, and daughter in procuring a place in which to live. The play's first performance was by the Wisconsin Players at the University of Wisconsin in November, 1946. Capacity audiences at the five performances in the Wisconsin Memorial Theatre gave the play a very cordial reception. Critics for the Madison newspapers were also cordial, one of them remarking that, in addition to other reasons for its success, . . . most was due to author Carleton Arne's knack for character and dialogue . .

One of the outstanding events of the college year, 1946-1947, was homecoming— the first real homecoming since pre-war days. And what a homecoming it was! To it came a record-breaking crowd of former students, grads and friends, with an especial welcome to the returned veterans. The celebration began Friday evening with the regulation pep rally. There were skits, cartoons, songs and cheers, with the climax of the program the crowning of the homecoming queen, Felice Jorstad. Queen Felice was attended by Lois Land-berg, Elaine Stucky, Kathleen Reid, Marguerite Baird and Rebecca Rees, who had been chosen also as candidates for the position of queen. After the pep rally, over 100 students formed the gigantic snake dance which wound its way downtown to make the traditional crashing of main street. The parade Saturday morning was one of the largest in the history of the college, with many well designed and original floats. The veterans' float won first place. The highlight of the day was the game with LaCrosse, and the slogan Toss LaCrosse, originated by Nate DeLong, proved to be true, the victory making the homecoming all the more the perfect event it was. After the games the Social room in South Hall was literally overrun by alumni and former students, who were the guests of the faculty at a coffee hour. A dance which packed North Hall gym to capacity concluded the festivities. To Jack Wills, manager, and his able assistants goes the credit for the success of the 1.946 1947 homecoming. MLEY IEABL! r ■ 3. i St yp am n w :[ 'Winter Carnival or JOE COLLEGE DAY Sorry, but this isn’t Virgil and Lila this year. We just wanted to show with a last year's picture what we hoped to do. One would think that in northern Wisconsin in the middle of the month of February one might count on a winter carnival. However, this year the elements were against us, and we found ourselves left high and dry with beautiful plans but no snow. Still, in spite of the summer-like weather when it ought to be winter, we had a good time. A dance was held in North Hall presided over by Joe College. Walter Weihrouch. and his queen, Phyllis Anderson. A hotly contested election at a penny a vote had been held during the preceedlng week, and the large number of votes which placed Walt as the College Joe was testimony to his popularity. Ed McCollow was in charge of the Carnival and deserves a great deal of credit for his efficient planning of the events which could not come off as well as for the final success of the day. w Wrlhrouch, A ml croon Stnmllitfsi «rcK«� r, Olcxon.

Frasier. “Mow-TJle 3)ay.” “Bow-Tie Day was the designation given to Friday, March 14, when college students and townspeople showed their loyalty to the basketball team by wearing their bow-ties. A1 Prescott, student basketball manager, originated the idea of bow-ties on the campus. He noticed that each time he wore a bow-tie to a basketball game. River Falls won the game. Soon Coach Schlagenhauf and Dr. Kleinpell were wearing bow-ties on the days the team played. Next Dr. Kleinpell's “order that all faculty men wear the “lucky bow-ties on game days was observed. Then students donned bow-ties. Finally the spirit spread to the town and Mayor Bartosh proclaimed Saturday, March 8. “Bow-Tie Day” for town citizens. The climax of the “Bow-Tie Day was a dance in the North Hall gym, March 14, admission to which was the wearing of a bow-tie by men students. Putf-Pant Prom Be a gal in calico Or be her Puff-Pant date. Enjoy a gala frolic On March fifteenth at eight. Come two by two To the South Hall gym One as “her” and The other as “him.” So read the invitations of the YWCA to their annual Puff-Pant Prom, March 15. Calico gals decorated the walls and a calico doll occupied a place of honor. The “man” of the two-girl couple gave his best girl a unique corsage and paid her the usual masculine attention during the evening. In agreement with custom, the fifty male students who attended that evening’s YMCA “Bean Soup Supper crashed the girls’ prom. A faculty group added to the fun of the evening. yWCcA Christmas formal A lighted Christmas tree in the center of the floor, two tall, lighted candles on both sides of the orchestra with sprigs of evergreen on the walls, and frosted punch served from a frosty table—this was the setting for the Christmas formal sponsored by the YWCA on December 14. Over one hundred couples danced to the music of the Black Hawk Aces, drank punch, and chatted with their friends. Miss Moss and Miss Lieneman were the chaperones for the evening, and their presence added to the festive atmosphere. The grand march was led by Rebecca Rees, the president of the YWCA, and her escort, Jerry Wallen. The committee in charge of the party was Lois Hatch, chairman, Sandra Johnson, Charlotte Route, and Delores Payson. Those who were there say, “The Christmas formal was one of the nicest and most enjoyable dances we have ever attended at college! And those who weren’t, say, Next year the Christmas formal is a must on our calendar! Wnlleu, llrr Club formal One of the most outstanding social events of the year was staged in North Hall gym on February 8th when the R Club sponsored its annual winter formal. Strictly in keeping with the reputation the R Club has for successful parties, the formal was well attended by both students and faculty. Under the chairmanship of President Rudy Meehan, the party was a success in every way. The gym was beautifully decorated in red and white with the letter R as the central theme. A large lighted red R was suspended in the middle of the ceiling, with red and white streamers radiating from it. Lighted R s also were placed in the far corners of the balcony to add to the impressiveness of the atmosphere. The familiar R blankets of the athletic department served as wall hangings. The decoration committee consisted of Les Horn, Al Franko, Allen Linster, and Bob McCardle, aided by several feminine hands. The fruit punch was prepared by Mrs. Jerney, under the careful direction of John Storzer. Fred Ubbelohde was in charge of tickets and dance programs. The smooth music of the Blackhawk Orchestra added the Anal touch. The entire affair, from the efficient coat checking system to the effective lighting and decorations, was outstanding and will long be remembered by all those who attended. Snlhrr Jirolnon I'llINfRd Z)he jfunior Px ont On the evening of May 3, the juniors, seniors and their friends entered the Pastel Room” for an evening of dancing to the romantic music of Henry Burton and his eight piece orchestra. The occasion for this gala evening was the annual Junior Prom. The decorating committee, composed of Dorothy Kay, Lola Estenson and Marguerite Baird, with the help of the Junior class members, had transformed the North Hall gym into a modern, beautifully decorated ballroom, complete with chandeliers and terraces. Marvin Sather, class president, and his chosen queen, Marion Jacobson, led the grand march. The 1947 Junior Prom was an event long to be remembered by the members of the class and their friends. The college observes Mothers Day this year on May 9. It has been an annual the Friday afternoon nearest Mothers Day. This gives the students an opportunity to show their mothers the campus, and the mothers an opportunity to become acquainted with their sons’ and daughters’ fellow students as well as the activities of the school. This year there were tours of the campus, a luncheon, then a program. In the program were presented the activities of the school. The day ended for the mothers with a coffee hour in the women’s gymnasium. The day’s activities were planned by a committee of eight girls, two girls from each class. Dorothy Jennings and Vera Louise Finstad, seniors, were co-chairmen. The others were Joyce Julian and Ruth Erickson, juniors, Marilyn Krueger and Joyce Condit, sophomores, and Elaine Gibbon and Margaret Aasterud, freshmen. Mothers Day has always been a success, and this year it was especially so. event since 1940, when the students invite their mothers to visit the school on Orguniza tion£ INDUSTRIAL ARTS Ilnlril, KNtriiNnii.

The senate works primarily through committees, of which the most important is the party committee. All of the social functions of the school are under the responsibility of this committee. Both Marvin Sather and Millicent Skone served as head of the party committee. This year the Senate provided the money for all of the all-school parties and dances. This enabled the students to attend the allschool functions free. Other committees that are of importance are the allotment committee, the assembly committee, and the student-faculty relations committee. The Senate acts as the representative body to present the needs of the students to the administrative council. The Senate has started the proper steps in organizing our campus as a member of the Nation Student Movement. The Senate is composed of eleven members. Seven of the members are chosen by the student body, and the remaining four members are the four class presidents. I.nmllirru, FliiHtnd. Anderson J4onor Society.
