lege Hands.

and Formations.
(By II. W. WesterKaard.)


The U. N. D-A, c. football game of
Saturday, although defeat for the
U. n. d. team, was exceedingly inter-
esting. The university aggregation, on
its arrival at Fargo, was met by mem
bers of the faculty and large number
of students from the \. c. The A. C.
band Immediately began to play, and
having formed in tours, marched down
Broadway. The university band came
next in line, and behind both bands,
in long procession, followed our visi-
tors from the north. The procession
followed by a large crowd continued
to the n. p. depot and from thence to
the Prescott hotel outside of which the
two bands played several rousing Sc
lections in turn.
The gathering gradually dispersed
and the varsity team made its quar-
ters at the Prescott.
The game was advertised to begin at
3 p. M. but did not actually begin
until twenty minutes after.
Over LOO people were already in
side the grounds when the varsity
team trotted across the field to its
tent. A few minutes later the A. C.
team came and began signal practice.
The A. c. rooters were on the west
side; the U. N. D. supporters were on
the east Presently both teams were
going through signal practice.
The varsity students and sympa-
thizers, when they saw Dobie's giants.
could not help but wonder what would
become of the varsity team. The
varsity players themselves, though
never over-confident now realized that
they could do little more than resolve
to play the game of their lives. This
resolve they both made and carried
into action, yet the hope of scoring
over and above the A. c. was soon
gone.
Outclassing, outweighing, by an
average of "a pounds per man, and, in
the ponderous variety of football, out
playing the varsity team, the A. c.
hammered and plunged and plowed
through her line again and again for
gains varying from 2 to S yards at a
play. and occasionally for longer gains
For want of long kicks, save by Conmy
genious plays, much Of the charm OF
the game was lost to the spectator
The mass style Of play which 1t was
the obvious intent Of the new rules to
abolish. was exhibited in most
perfect fashion.
Although the varsity line was NO
match for the steady hammering Of the
A. c. yet 1t did, after all, hold the A. C.
for downs several times, for ten yards
in three downs are by no means easily
made by mere line plunging against a
weaker team. The varsity then gen.
orally kicked the ball far down the
field to be caught by an A. c. player
after which the process Of the batter
ing ram would commence again. In
the early part of the game the A. C.
secured safety. Once an A. C..
player interferred as Conmy heeled a
fair catch. This gave the varsity q
chance for a free kick from the 40
yard line. Conmy sent the ball fairly
between the goal posts giving the
varsity points. Twice during the
game the varsity held the A. C. when
they were but six inches from the
varsity goal line.
The splendid line plunging Of Marks,
the A. C. full-back puts him in class
by himself. Every man on both sides
played his part well.
Owing to the predominant style OF
play. there is little individual comment
1t is remarkable that three times the
stronger team took time out on account
of men being hurt. while this occurred
but once for the varsity. This is due
to the light yet splendid protection
which DR.. Sweetland has devised for
his men.
1t is also worthy of mention that
though the final score was A. c., go;
U. N. D., 4, the university aggregation
returning Saturday evening seemed
perfectly contented with the showing
made during the day. The reason for
this cannot be stated here. 1t is be-
lieved that the university made many
friends for itself as result Of the
game.
The game was remarkably free from
foul plays and unfair decisions. Pope
of Mayville normal, was referee. Rich
ardson of Fargo, and Finlayson of East
Grand Forks, acted as umpires.
