Fierce Attack. =
Special to The Journal.

EdEgO, IN. IL, oCG. Ing oPSS-
tacular football at all stages of the
gate, North Dakota agricultural college
overwhelmed North Dakota university
this afternoon, and won by score OF
80 to 4. f., ::
Victory was doubly sweet because of
intense rivalry between the North Da-
kato institutions, and from the fact
versity had held Wisconsin to a score
of 10 to 0. Reasoned on football dope,
the aggies could make monkeys out OF
the badgers, were the two teams to
clash.
"There is nothing that succeeds like
success,' and Coach Gil Dobie owns
Fargo. His football machine is a win
Tense he has built up which held today
against North Dakota U plunges like
stonewall, but also from the effective
ness and versatility of his offense,
which worked in grand form this after
noon.
In Hallenburg at quarter Dobie had
general able to execute the plays and
formations devised by the coach. Hal
denburg's work was sensational at
times, especially in returning punts
thru a broken field, quarterback runs
and tacklings. He got his plays off
well and fast and varied his attack in
splendid manner.
Other Aggie Stars.
Marks punted well, was a power at
line pl unges and never missed goal. The
defensive work OF Nemzek and Jacob
son was superb, and both Eakins and
Nemzek did splendid aggressive work
in advancing ball. The entire team
showed up fast and strong and Fargo
ans are delighted with it. The lineup
was the same as against Carleton last
Saturday, but the grounds were much
better, and the team showed great i'm
provement in form over a week ago.
For the university Chick Conmy at
quarter, former st. Thomas star, was
a bright shining light and Captain
Burtness at left tackle also put a
strong game, especially on defensive
The Chief criticism of the university
team appears to be that Coach Sweet
land has built up his play around Con-
my. This was so evident that the en-
tire Fargo team was playing for Con-
my. Conmy was dangerous at all
stages thru his puniting and quarter
back runs.
Only twice during the game was the
university able to make their first
downs. In each instance this was done
thru quarterback runs around Fargo 3
right end where Birch was d drawn VI II in .
The varsity was unable to make downs
thru the "farmers - line, which was a.
veritable stonewall.
First Score Safety.
The aggies won the toss and chose
to defend the north goal, with slight
breeze to their back. University kicked
OIL and by steady consistent rushes Far
go carried the ball back to the uni
verslty's 4-inch line, where the team
was held. Conmy dropped back to
poot bal lout OF danger and was thrown
beck for a safety.
Varsity punted from the 25-yard line
and again Fargo forced the ball down
to varslty's 1-foot line, where for the
second time the varsity line stiffened.
and this time Conmy was successful IN
booting out Of danger.
For the third time the aggies started
Tor the goal, and thru fierce line bucks
Forced the ball over for touchdown.
after ten minutes of fierce play, Marks

;. varsity kicked off clear over goal
line. The farmers' punted out from
the 25-yard line and Conmy signaled
Tor free catch, but was interfered
with, and the aggies were penalized for
10 yards. From the 32-yard line Conmv
made a place kick, central thru the GOAL
posts, for the only four points the Wis
1tors were able to make in the entire
game.
Varsity kicked off and the "farm-
ers,' by vicious line bucking, short
swings off tackle and spectacular quar-
tterback, runs, made a second touchdown,
by pushing Nemzek across the line, and
Marks again kicked goal. The half
ended with the ball in Fargo s posses
sion in varsity territory. Score. first

Second Half the Same.
The second half was almost repeti.
ton of the first, as far as FARGO - Of.

and used both tackles and halves free,

unable to make gains. In punting ex.

Marks was against the wind, but Fargo
excelled In carrying the ball back. and
