The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1910-11-26


doubleday the cause, but nevertheless
the same thing applied to the Agri-
cultural college with equal disadvan-
tage. The only marked details OF adj
vanced football, especially in the pos
sible adaptation of the new rules. that
was shown during the season, was ex-
hitited by the Fargo college team In
Its concluding game. The shift COM
binations used in this game were in
tricate and very we'll executed, espe-
cially considering the condition Of the
ball and of the field. AS a general
rule, the forward pass formation Of
the different teams were weak and in
effective, and met with no particular
success in any of the games From
present indications most Of this years
teams at all Of the schools will come
back next year. and consequently we
may expect to see very close and hot
ly contested games.
Personnel of Team.
In selecting an All North Dakota
team, the writer does not presume to
choose a team that will meet the APP
prevail of everyone, but without doubt,
the team selected as the All North Da-
kota team would simply overwhelm
any other combination that might be
selected from the same group Of play
ers.
For ends, Catlin Of Fargo college
and Bulge of the University are chos-
en-. Catlin played half upon the of
tense and end upon the defense. In
both of these positions his play was
fast and aggressive. Upon the de-
Tense, however, he did not develop the
ground gaining ability of either his
team mate, Bayard or Thompson of
the University Nevertheless, his
speed and good defensive work entities
him fairly to a place upon the first
eleven. He is therefore placed at end
Instead of at halfback. Bulge of the
University is generally conceded to be
entitled to the other end position. He
played strong aggressive game at all
times, and was particularly good in
stopping off, tackle plays.
For tackles, Schroeder. Of the A. c.
and Barnes of the University are
chosen. Schroeder of the A. C. with
out doubt, outclassed any other line
man in the state He was the best
ground gamer of the A. C. team. and
was easily the strongest man Of the
year in his position. His tackles were
well executed and always sure. The
other tackle is given to Barnes Of the
University. 1t is close matter be-
tween Barnes and Mcmillan of Fargo
college, but the goal kicking ability
of Barnes gives him to call over Nc
MILAN. Barnes was one Of the best
punters and place kickers in the state
this year, and at the same time was
strong and aggressive lineman
For guards, Mcmillan of Fargo col
lege and Edwards of the A. C. are
chosen The star defensive work of
Mcmillan, together with his ground
gaining ability, entities him to a ulace
in the line Of the all-state team. hence
the liberty of taking him from his no.
sition of tackle and placing him at the
position of guard, at which latter posi-
ton he would no doubt make star
Edwards played a steady game at
guard and has the most consistent rec
ord in that position.
Hackett for Center.
At center, Hackett of the Science
school undoubtedly has the call. New
ertheless, the passing of Horner of
Fargo college in the A. c. game was of
an exceptionally high order, especially
when the condition of the ball is taken
into consideration. Nevertheless,
Hackett's superior weight and re-
markable aggressiveness makes him
superior to Horner.
For quarterback and captain of the
team, without question. Gullickson of
the University is chosen. He was UNI
doubtedly the best ground gaining
quarter in the state and would, with
out doubt, be the natural selection for
captain.
At halves, Bayard Of Fargo college
and Thompson of the University are
the stars. Bayard's work has been of
a very high order. Upon offense he
was very strong, and kept his feet well
and his physical strength helped him
materially in view of the new rule
assistance to the man car
rying the ball. 1t is upon defense. how
ever that. Bayard was particularly
strong. His smashing tackles, and his
ability to crush an opposing Interior
ence were unequalled during the sea-
son. His defensive work against the
University during the three or four
times that the f. c. goal was danger
ously threatened, was one of the feat
ures OF the game and were It not for
the fact that the quarterback Is more
naturally suited for the captaincy, the
position Of team captain would be
given to Bayard. His play was fierce
and fast, but nevertheless entirely
clean. No penalties were suffered bv
reason of any foul upon his part q
fact which, in view of some of the in
cidents of the seasons play. is esne-
cially to be commended. At the other
half Thompson of the Universitv Is
chosen without much question. He
was one of the stars upon the Univer-
sity team, and probably was the best
ground gaining halfback in tn state
While his defensive work was not as
strong as that of Bayard, 1t was. new
ertheless, of high order. HIS work
during the season. in spite of discour
aging injuries, was, with the excep-
tion OF Bayard unsurpassed.
Spalding Chosen FuIIback.
The position of fullback is given to
Spalding of Fargo college without
hesitation. His physical strength. to-
gether with his GOODNESS and deliber-
alton, admirably fitted him for the no
