Coach Watkins stated today that an
effort was being made to sign a two
years contract with Wahpeton Science
and that they were trying to get them
here this year. 1t is possible that a
game will be scheduled on Oct. % with
Manchester. At any rate the college
has secured a good number of games
and when they begin, there will be one
every week. The date of the A. G..
game is not definitely decided upon,
but 1t will come either Nov. IL or ~.
There is a big game at Minneapolis on
Nov. IL and many of Fargos football
fans will no doubt take it in. in which
case the A. c. game will! be played
before or after 1t.
Practice has been progressing nicely
the last few nights, there being TWEEN
ty-one men out each night. 1t being
the first week, the practice was, of
course, light and practically no scrim-
mage. Coach Watkins had the men
handling the ball good deal, running
down punts and signal practice. The
men are beginning to fall in line and
the soreness of the first few nights is
beginning to wear off. BY the first of
next week al. will be ready to begin
the hard grind of stiff practice.
The men trying for back-field posi-
lions are Catlin and Glasgow, who are
showing very well in both speed and
science. The Spalding brothers prove
J to be two strong contenders for behind
The line. Murray is being tried out on
the line and also in the back-field. Cap
tain Slingsby Is still at quarter and
running the team in better style than
ever, with Cat,in giving him some
competition. Rusness is being tried
at half and is showing up exception
ally well. These men. however, will
be given a chance the first of the week
to show their stuff in scrimmage
About seventeen men are trying out
for the line and to make a position
will require a great amount of work
and a lot of the real football stuff.
Keye and Horner are fighting 1t out at
center. with Mcnamara, Talbot, Stick
ney and Walker trying for guard and
tackle positions. Walker Is showing
up especially well at guard. He has a
the makings of an exceptionally good
man for guard position. Dean, of last
years team, Mcmillan, Rinker, Taint-
er, Ward and Torson are all putting
up a good fight for a position on the
line. Coach Watkins is trying frost,
GoulaHd, Cat!in and Roscoe Spalding
out for an end position. frost is in
experienced but an especially good ath-
lete.
Last night there were twenty-five
men out, and Coach Watkins expects
several more out the first of the week.
The coach also announced that ex-
Captain Bayard will be in uniform
Monday afternoon. The question of a
punter is puzzling the coach somewhat.
M. Spalding and Mcmillan are the men
now in line to do the punting this
season.
Practice will be settled Monday and
then hard grind win begin with scrim-
mage every night and a game each
week to break the monotony. The pro-
gramme for the next few weeks will
include several chalk talks along with
the scrimmage. 1t will be but short
