DEFEATED
M0ORHEAO HIGH
Won Spectacular Contest
from Neighboring Team
Saturday Afternoon.

Fargo, n. D., Oct. 2S.-Saturday's
football battle between Fargo high
and Moorhead high will go down in
the history of the two schools as one
of the greatest fights on their records.
Fargo was able to snatch victory from
seeming defeat through the nimble
wits. n the speed Of Hines.
The fast little star intercepted a
forward pass IN his own twenty-five
yard line, leaped and wriggled clear
tore down the field a distance Of
|seventy-five yards for one of the most
sensational runs ever seen on a local
gridiron. planting the ball squarely be-
hind h Moorhead goal posts for the
first score Of the game.
Hines great play came in the last
quarter. when the Moorhead team.
tired by the soaring words of their
coach between halves. was marching
toward Fargo's goal by the brilliant
use OF the forward pass and the tre-
Peterson. Moorhead used n of the
open shift pays that Fargo college
used last year with great success. Tho
Fargo team seemed unable to solve it.
For three quarters of the game and
more. neither side had been able to
score and with Moorhead opening up

defeat for the locals or at best a
scoreless tie. Then came the great
play of the day, and the score was
8 to 0 in favor of Fargo. Healy missed
goal and with but seven or eight min
utes to play Moorhead again started
to tear down the field towards Fargo's
goal.
Again they got dangerously near the
Fargo goal but the midgets' defense
l~stiffened and the ball was lost to Moor
head on downs. Hines punted clear
back over the Moorhead players. and
with the ball in Moorhead territory
and darkness coming on 1t looked like
the battle would end 6 to o.
Moorhead used poor judgment and
with the ball inside their ten yard
line tried the Fargo line four times
and lost the ball on downs. Fargo
then played some of the best football
Of the afternoon and showed the ball
the score was IL to o.
Both teams showed poor Judgment.
Football experts on the field criticised
Fargo most for not punting ~oftener.
Moorhead was criticised for not OPEN
ing up earlier in the game with It's
shift and criss-cross forward passes.
Crowd Poor Sports.
One of the aggravating features of
the game was the lack of police tc
keep the side lines clear. With one.
Iof the finest football fields in the west
to play On there was absolutely no ex-
cuse for the crowd getting on the field
and 1t was a display of very poor
craftsmanship on the part of every
person who crowded onto the grid
iron.
With a few minutes to play, after
Fargo's second touchdown the whole
|crowd swarnned onto the field and it
was impossible to finish the game.
Healy did not kick goal until almost
the entire crowd had gone. There was
still a minute or two to play but
Moorhead decided there was no use of
attempting. to do anything more in
the dusk that by that time enveloped
the field.
