COLLEGE LOSES CLASSY GAME
MUCH MONEY CHANGED OWN
ERsEHP ON OUTCOME.

Fargo college surrendered all their
claim to the state championship Sat
urday when they were defeated by a
score OF s to o. by the Aggies in a hard
but decisive battle. Ideal football
weather prevailed and the side lines
supported about 1000 enthusiastic
fans, who turned out to cheer their
fayorite team to victory, the n. @.
rooters taking the west side OF the field
while Fargo hackers thronged the east.
Intense excitement held the crowd
throughout the game. for although the
farmers outplayed their opponents, vic
tory was not certain for either team
until the final
Very little open work was tried by
either team, most of the gains being
made by straight football while punt
ing was used advantageously by both.
Ewen's punting for the Al. G. compared
favorably with that OF Rusness OF the
r. c., so at times the ball seasawed
back and forth by punts Several times
the "A. c. took sprints and advanced the
ball within striking distance of #. C.'s
goal line, only to loose 1t without scor-
Ing. On two occasions Breyer attempt
ed drop kicks and Shorty" Caulkins
had the same number of chances at
place kicking, two more attempts were
made to score on line bucks, but all
failed until the fourth quarter when
Breyer recovered quick kick and car
.ried ii over the #. C.'s goal line.
The Congregationalists played a
strong defensive game, but We're weak
on offence. only making their downs
three times through the game.
Both sides displayed good team work
while some players showed up bright
er than others. For the A. G. Edwards
starred while playing a guard position
against the captain of the f. G. team.
Many times did he break through the
#. G. line, tackling the opponents for
big losses. Breyer, also played great
game at end, scoring the only points
made throughout the contest, and
Caulkins ran the team In a credftable
manner His runs were one of the
features of the game. Captain Schroe-
der lived UP to his old reputation and
Perry did good work at end while the
rest OF the line charged their oppon-
ents fast and hard. Even was strong
in running interference while Balsing-
er and Foss made good gains for the
y
aggies.
For the r. C. BUSINESS and Catlin's
brilliant playing kept the "A. G. from
running up large score. Many times
did Rusness punt the ball from his own
territory into safety. Stickney and
Keye also played a good game for the
Congregationalists.
