RIVER FALLS 26 WINONA 0 Clair Murphy got his Irish up the following weekend as the Falcons rolled to their second straight win at the expense of hapless Winona Teachers 26 to 0. Murphy grabbed four touchdowns to write his name on the top of the individual scoring department. Vern Steinmetz set up the first counter on an inter- ception on Winono's 15-yard stripe. But Marv Schueffner added his share of yardage with runs of 60 and 44 yards as the Falcons rolled to 18 first downs against H for their Minnesota opposition. RIVER FALLS I4 SUPERIOR 27 Freshman Murphy continued his upperclass ideas the folioWing week but Superior had some ideas of their own and River Falls suffered its first setback at the hands of the Yellowiackets 27 to 14. Outplayed in the statistical department, RiVer Falls rolled in spurts and starts with seven freshmen earning starting booths for a varsity assignment. Bob Onstod col- lected the Falls' other tally on a 55-yard pass from Hor- ley Harkness to end the scoring. RIVER FALLS 14 LA CROSSE 32 River Falls met La Crosse the' next week and limped off the field with their second conference Ioss-this time at the hands of last year's Conference Champions, 32 to 14. Combining two long runs and two Falcon fumbles, La Crosse threw the scoring door wide open and walked into the end zone with four touchdowns to give River Falls on even split on games played, two losses in conference ploy.

RIVER FALLS 7 STEVENS POINT 7 Back in the business again and operating from the some old Ramer Field stand, the Falcons battled to o 7-7 tie against Stevens Point the following week during Home- coming festivities.

RIVER FALLS 0 STOUT 39 Stout set up a Dad's Day exhibition with o 39 to O posting over the Foilsmen in the Falcons' final home ap- pearance. Both teams fielded eleven men, were helmets and jerseys and spit on their hands in the customary manner during each huddle. Further comparison was impossible. Stout was overmunned, full of experience and superlative.
