Cofieige Hi of Whitewater, Wis. yThe college field was in very <bad shape due to the heavy rains" for two days before the game, so both teams had to resort to the passing game because npbody could get a footing in the Ipoft turf. However, the Rockets" did pick up 140 yards on the ground, but skids and slips amounted to sixty-one yards, so the net rushing wasn't too good. The passing attack of the Rockets was" terrific, though, they used five different passers during the night and still hit on 50 per cent, which is real good for the amount of passes that were thrown. College Hi played a good game, but three times they fumbled and each time they lost the ball. They had three of their passes intercepted, so losing six chances that way hurt them very much, "the Richmond boys were very alert all the way through and they really cashed in on these breaks. Bob christenson had his best game of the young season. He scored three times and passed for one more. One of his touchdowns was a forty-seven yard run right through the center from scrimmage. The tackling and blocking by the Rockets was really something to see. Every man seethed to be at the right place at the-right time. If they play like that the rest o* the season, they will be real hard to beat. College Hi was weak, but the boys still made an excellent showing. They out-rushed the Rockets frbm scrimmage by eleven yards. • How They |Scored 1st quarter: Gunderson pass to Christenseh thirty-two yard pass play, 6-0; Huff on plunge for extra point, 7-0; 2nd quarter: Gunderson pass to Bob Miller nineteen yards overall, 13-0; Huff over for extra point, 14-0; Christensen on fortyseven yard run, 20-0; Christensen pass to Gunderson eight yards, 26-0; Pass Gunderson to Bob Miller, fourteen yards, 32-0; 3rd quarter: Gunderson to Fout pass play twenty. yards, 38-0; 4th quarter: Fumble by College Hi on nine picked up by Christensen, 44-0; Buchert on plunge extra point, 45-0; A1 Miller on six yard pass to Dale Heth* with five seconds left to go," 45*6. % •? f MACHINERY SHED Present^fi by A.
