AGGIES Won
A DUSTY GAME

Debrutalized football received a pretty
thorough airing Saturday afternoon in
the game between the Wahpeton
Science school team and the North
Dakota Agricultural college team.
From players and spectators stand
point the game was anything but a
dress suit affair or a social function
To express the contest which resulted
in victory for the A. c. team by a
score of 16 TO 0 in one word. all you
have to say is that it was a battle and
1t was real battle at that We knights
OF old never fought harder or went
after one another for blood with more
zip and real fighting spirit than did the
twenty-five men on the field of play.
All Referee Richardson would have
had to do to start things, would have
been to suspended all rules for about
three minutes and in less than that
time there would have been eleven
prize fights.
Coaches, officials and old football
men that saw the game say that they
never before saw quite so much gem
eral roughness and fighting in one foot
ball game.
To begin with, the Science school
had much better squad of huskies on
the field than they did last year and
they started right in on the first down
at the fighting game and on the third
down they succeeded in getting Reu-
Der, the A. c, right tackle. The A. C.
man played the remainder of the game
out of his head. Neither team seemed
able to gain on the other through the
lines, although Schrader and Foss of
the A. G. got away several times for
good gains through the right side of
the Wahpeton line. The A. G. sue
ceeded in working the forward pass for
some good gains and wide end run
brought a number of first downs for
the Aggies.
A. G. kicked off to Wahpeton, who
defended the south goal in the first
quarter. Wahpeton was forced to punt.
The Aggies rushed the bali back into
Wahpeton territory, where it remained
for the entire quarter, neither team
succeeding in making a substantial
gain on the other. In the second quar-
ter the teams changed goals and Wah-
peton kicked off to the A. G. A couple
of end runs and two or three exchanges
of punts, in which the Aggies had a
decided advantage, brought the ball to
the Wahpeton 10-yard line A buck
by Schrader another by Foss and then
third try by House carried the ball
over for the first touchdown of the
game. House kicked goal Time for
the second quarter was called soon
after the Aggies scored.
1t took the entire first two quarters
for the A. c. bunch to realize that they
would have to play the Wahpeton team
at their own game and Coach Reuber's
men responded good and plenty in the
last two quarters with the result that
the Science school men soon had their
fill of rough football.
Wahpeton kicked off to the Aggies
in the third quarter. A couple of ex-
changes of punts and a 25-yard for
ward pass by the A. C. gave the Aggies
Here Quarterback Cave dropped back
and booted the ball between the Wah-
peton goal posts, boosting the A. c.
score to the total of 8.
At this stage of the game the tide
of the battle turned. Wahpeton kicked
off again and another long forward
pass and couple of long end runs
brought the ball to the Wahpeton To-
yard line. from where Schrader went
over for the second touchdown. House
failed to kick goal The quarter ended
with the Aggies attempting field goal
from the Wahpeton 40-yard line. The
goal was missed.
The last quarter started with the ball
in the Aggies' possession on the Wah-
peton 35-yard line. A couple of To-
yard penalties forced the Aggies to
kick Wahpeton secured the ball on
their 1-yard line An attempted punt
resulted in a safety for the A. G. Time
was called soon after the last score. |
