FARGO HIGHS Won
FROM ENDERLIN
FAST FOOTBALL GAME BETWEEN
TWO HIGH SCHOOLS SATURDAY
MIDGET AGGREGATION OF
FARGO TOO MUCH FOR THE
VISITORS.

Fargo IL, Enderlin s, is the summary
Of ono Of the hardest fought football
games seen on the local gridiron for
many year. There We're some spec
tacular features in the contest and the
result was in doubt till the final
whistle ,. IS
Outweighed several poundssome
claimed fourteen--to the man, the
dinky bunch representing the Fargo
high battled bravely. They looked like
midgets compared with their opponents
but they had a finer knowledge of Ehe
game and were more clever in working
the forward pass. At crucial times
they did some clever line bucking and
their gameness was an Important
factor.
Enderlin had a stiff line and heavy
set OF backs Their greZtest handicap
was in their slow handTng of the bali.
Their line charged slowly and the de-
lay with which their plays were ex-
ecuted frequently gave Fargo players
an opportunity to break through and
spoil the fun.
Fargo tried some trick plays but was
unsuccessful in most of them. espec-
tally in the delayed, or triple pass.
Their success with the forward pass
was remarkable, due largely to the
sensational work OF young Pollock in
mailing the ball. The passes by Cal
lander were we'll executed. Fargo
scored touchdown and kicked a goal
in the first half, the touch down COM
ing after Enderlin held right on the
line three times.
In the second Enderlin quickly even
ed up things when Fullback Berg
broke through Fargo on a line
plunge, shook off the tacklers, and ran
for seventy yards for a touchdown.
Rush playing back, failed miserably in
stopping him. Kimball almost overlook
Berg at the goal.
After the score was tied the Fargo
aggregation became desperate and did
some whirlwind work in which Rush
retrieved his errors in great shape by
carrying back punt in sensational
style and making the second touch
down possible. Fargo failed on the
second goal.
Between that time and the end of the
second half Enderlin was so frequent
ly dangerous that the fans were wildly
excited, but the little Fargo bunch
For Enderlin Berg's run was the SEN
rational feature. But the all around
work of brick-topped youth named
Longley will not soon be forgotten.
He was in every play. A team OF
Longleys would be difficult PROPOSE
tion The Enderlin boys show lack
OF practice and have not as thorough
knowledge of the finer points of the
came as they should.
For Fargo, several of the boys are
entitled to special mention. The great
taclxling of Kimball, the line plunging
of Eaton, forward pass work of Cal
lendar and Pollock and Rush's hand
ling of the team and return of a punt
were the features. All the boys put
up remarkably strong game, consid-
ering their size. The weak spot Satur-
day was at left end, Embretson seem
ing unable to get into the plav right.
Both teams tackled high. There was
some holding and Fargo was frequent
ly heavily penalized for offside work.
The Fargo bunch plays Valley City

dicate ". c. has hot aggregation
The Valley City boys are heavy and
