FALLS--30 KEWAUNEE--19 Oconto Falls opened their conference play with a scrappy Kewaunee eleven. The Panthers offense clicked beautifully with the backfield running well. The Falls scored once in the first quarter and twice in the second. Leading 18-6 at halftime, the Falls went on to win the game. Highlights of the game were the hard running of Jerry Redman and great engineering of quarterback Jerry Bramschreiber. FALLS--O ALGOMA--19 An inspired Wolves eleven spoiled the Panthers Homecoming before a crowd of about 2,000 people. Playing inspired ball for one half and continuously keep- ing a bewildered Algoma eleven in their own territory, Denny L,arsen's and Rabbit Rotter's injuries proved too much for the fighting Panthers, as Algoma found them- selves and won a victory. FALLS--0 STURGEGN BAY--39 An injury riddled Panther eleven traveled to Sturgeon Bay to meet their undefeated team. The Falls lost most of their spirit after Bramschreiber was in- jured early in the game, giving Sturgeon Bay a suc- cessful Hornecoming. This was the low point of our foot- ball season. FALLS--18 DEPERE--13 After losing two games in a row, the Falls came back beautifully to beat a powerful De Pere eleven. The Falls defense showed up especially well. Leading 12-6 at half-time, the Panthers had to overcome a 13-12 deficit to win a blazing victory in the closing minutes. FALLS--6 OCONTO--13 Oconto took the opening kickoff and was forced to punt when held by' a. strong defensive wall. Apass inter- ception late in the first quarter by Jerry Redman set up the first Falls score. Oconto came back strong with a sustained drive to score with Oconto Falls holding the edge at halftime 7-6. Oconto showing a strong defense in the second half, and Staidl, Oconto's star halfback, won the contest in the 3rd quarter with a TD. 52
