The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1910-11-11

The pigskin got good and wet from
the snow early in the game and the
game was full of fumbling, Fargo coll
lege having the largest number
chalked up to them, but they were
very lucky on the recoveries and
hence none of their fumbles proved
costly.
A good stiff breeze was blowing
from the north but the thousand or
more spectators that gathered to
watch the annual gridiron battle and
the deciding game for the state cham
pionship did not mind the chilly at
mosphere and the cheering of both
A. G.. and Fargo rooters was almost
as much a feature of the afternoon as
the game.
Right off the real things turned in
favor of Fargo when Captain Slings-
by won the toss. He chose to defend
the north goal and the Aggies kicked
off. The wind helped Spalding's
punting and a trick play from the
Aggies' 20-yard line the A. c. right
end brought Fargo five points. The
second quarter found the Aggies with
the ball In their possession and with
the wind in their backs, For the en-
tire quarter the Aggies kept the ball
inside the Fargo 25-yard line. 1t was
during this quarter that Spalding
was downed back of the Fargo goal
for the Aggies' only points of the
game. During the third quarter the
A. G. came back very strong and
bucking against the wind they OUT
played the Fargo bunch and kept the
ho1 af& he nF HnI6
or In Fargo territory despite the wind
which aided the Fargo punter.
In the last quarter the Aggies had
the wind in their backs and things
looked bright for the A. c. But early
in the last session Spalding inter-
cepted forward pass to Foss and the
Fargo fullback ran thirty yards for
the second touchdown of the game
and the score that put crimp in the
hopes of the Aggies.
