weighed at least ten pounds to the man.
North Dakota Agricultural college piled
UP a score oof IL to this afternoon
against the combination team from the
State University of Minnesota. 1t was
composed of part of Minnesota's second
team and part of the freshman team and
included Tifte, right tackle, who played
on the regular varsity team two wears
ago; Tighe, an oldltime varsity PLAYER
at left end; Liggett, of the st. Paul Cen
trail high school, and other well known
star players. 1t was a case of splendid
team work against individual strength
without organization, and the team work
won. The North Dakotans gained way
by straight football. and their fierce on
slaughts against the heavy Minnesota
line for long gains were most disagree
bic surprise to the latter.
The Minnesotans had planned to break
up the end-run play of the Farmers.
and succeeded. After a few efforts at
trick playing, the North Dakotans aban-
doned everything but attacks on the line.
North Dakota secured the first touch
down in seven minutes and the second
ten minutes later. Both goals were ex
cellently kicked, making the score at the
end of the first half, II to O. In the
second half the weight of the Minnesotas
began to tell, and there were FREQUENT
interchanges of punts, and both sides
were held for downs. About two-thirds
of the. battle was fought in Minnesota
territory. Two attempts by the Farm
ers'' at field goals were failures The
third was a success after twenty min
utes' play in the second half At the
call of time Minnesota had the ball on
the North Dakotans' twenty-yard line
and looked good for a score, as both
teams were becoming tired. For the vis-
ltors Liggett at left halfback put up a
strong game. He was in every play,
and his work behind the line on tackIing
was very fast. Considerable complaint
was made against his alleged smuggling.
Ersfeld at right half made a good show
ing, and Current at left guard did some
remarkable work. Tifte, an old varsity
right tackle, played a star game, and the
ends were well cared for by Jensen and
Tighe. For North Dakota Wickes, the
big left tackle, was a bright particular
star. Wilde, an Indian right haIfback,
made splendid line gains, as did Bagley,
right guard, and Manns. left halfbaek
The latter played the prettiest defensive
game ever seen here and won applause
from the visitors. Quarterback Greene
handled the Farmers well and did
some very good goal kicking
