Dakota by a score OF IL to Saturday,
two touchdowns bringing about that
result. Superior formation work,
against which the dickertails were at
times helpless, and ability to smash
through the Dakota line seemingly at
will, and good heady work at every
stage, brought victory to the Metho-
dists. North Dakota was forced to
play a kicking game and was lacking
in this department, as indicated by
the fact that in the first half they had
five chances to kick goal from place
ment or on drop kicks, but each time
failed.
Hamline's scores were made In the
second and third quarters. North
Dakota was dangerous only in the first
quarter, when they bested the Metho-
dists both on the defense and offense,
and once in the last quarter, when the
fiickertails seemed to have temporarily
gained the combination to successive
gains, only to fall back after having
made four first downs:

over a year.

Duluth and Superior are known to

a material handicap.
