Richland threw nine, six of them in the final moments, completer three and had one intercepted.While the visitors put up stubborn goal line defense in the second period, Wa-Hi bottled up the Richland running and passing game all evening with the visitors unable to work past their own 4C-yard line in two stanzas.Wa-Hi ran from a T formation most of the evening and occasionally sprung a lateral pass to vary the running attack. The most successful passing came in the third period when three were good out of as many tries.Both coaches used most of the boys in suit and the Richland five-man line on defense left much of the tackling to the secondary, Clark. 142-pound halfback, was Richland’s most effective ground gainer. Lockart, Klicker and Childers picking up the bulk of Wa-Hi’s gains. Meinhart, punting for the winners, did a sweet job of keeping the ball way from the safety and one kick rolled out less than three yards from the Richland goal.The game was Wa-Hi’s last at. home until Everett comes November 2. Meanwhile the Blue Devils go next Friday to play in the famed Lettuce Bowl game against Nampa, where Coach Jerry Dellinger held forth last year and for three previous seasons.
