ShSA6 man @uOul0 play game In the
machine-like manner as the men or
the rival team.
However, the men in the back field
OF the aggies have, individually, some
experience at the game. Their work
will count as individuals to a large
degree, and 1t has been the task Of
Rueber to develop his men into q
machine line eleven. capable of beat
ing the team from the little college
on the hill. The men all strive to
move as one machine and 1t is posi-
Bile that their success Ia this line may
largely tell the outcome of the game.
A Seoreless Game.
There are excellent chances OF the
game being a scoreless one. The
evenness Of the two teams may mean
that they will see-saw up and down
the field, punt from one end to the
other, work few forward passes for
ten yards. or a fake play for a pos
sible fifteen or twenty, but never get
the ball across the goal line.
The preachers have demonstrated
that they can almost put the bali over
on forward pass and may be able
to turn the trick. On the other hand.
In Caulkins, the aggies have a man
who IL almost sure to score IL given
chance to kick Caulkins' drop
kicking is feared by Fargo college, as
IT Is well that Watkins has taken
every precaution to work against
CaullSins' toe. The drop kicking OF
Caulkins may be blocked, and again
he may fail. but IL he has two chances.
he will make one Of them good.
Stickney has been practising some
place kicks all week and has develop
ed his toe until his work shows a
great deal of improvement He may
surprise the fans by slipping one over
from placement and scoring three
points for his school.
The Line Up.
The lineup OF the two teams win
not be selected until the time OF the
contest starts. During the last part
Of the week Coach Watkins has work
ed Mcdonald and frost at ends, Nc
MILAN and Paulson at tackles, Stick
ney, Keye and Mcnamara as the
center trio with Rusness at quarter,
Bayard at full and Catlin and Drum
mond as the halves.
Rueber has switched his men around
a good deal during the week. or late
1t has looked like Parizek and Breyer
or Perry would play ends, Schumann
and Schroeder at tackles, and Ed
wards. Olsen and Hackett as the CEN
ter line trio. Caulxins VIII undoubt-
eddy play quarter and 1t is probable
that Balsinger, Even and DeWein or
Foss WIN hold down the remainder of
the backfleld jobs.
Betting on Game.
There has been good deal Of bet
ting on the game, much to the sorrow
Of the faculties at both schools. How
ever, none of the betting has been
permitted among the students.
The change OF money has taken
place among the followers of the two
teams In the city. In some cases
men have written in from out of the
citk asking that money be placed for
them. No odds have been given. which
indicate the closeness Of the game,
but there seems to NOR supporters
of Fargo college with money than Of
the aggies. Some OF the bets have
been large, but the greater majority
Of the money has been placed in small
amounts, owing to the uncertainty Of
the outcome Of the game.
Fargo College Players.
The players of the Fargo college
team are better known to the football
fans Of Fargo than those of the A. G.
Some OF them have made their homes
In Fargo for years and played the
nrssx - L4a~S,
5ayard.
There was Joy in the camp at Far
so college last Monday when Walter
Bayard registered and turned out that
night In q football suit. For over an
hour Watkins took Bayard over to one
side and had some men work out the
signals with him. AS 1t neared dusk
Bayard was placed In the team at
fuIlback and practiced there until 1t
was SO dark that he could hardly see
the ball.
Walter Bayard is a Fargo boy and
is one OF the greatest players that
ever attended the little college on the
hill. He is we'll built and Is always
lis very strong keeping his feet all OF
the time. II defensive work he shines
particularle breaking UP play after
play by smashing into them.
He was given a halfback position
on The Forum aIl-state team last year
and was the unanimous choice for
the position. His playing ig clean, but
fierce, and Fargo college has never
been penalized for any misdemeanor
committed by him. With his addition
to the team the backfield has been
greatly strengthened.
Rusness.
In Rusness Fargo college has an
admirable little quarterback, who win
go into the game handicapped by a
bad knee. Part OF the games this
season he has not been able to play.

Walter Rusnes comes from Moor
