for the fifth consecutive time, last

time gained the first step towards the
championship. The victory was quite
a surprise to the players themselves,
their only idea being to hold the score
as low as possible. but in holding their
opponents down they made it possible
to nose out ahead of their old time
rivals by the small margin of one
point. The next game will be played
at Grand Forks against the university

rounding into the best of shape for
this game and will be prepared to give
the best that is in them, Now is the
time that the Aggies need the support
of the students and fans as the games
to come are not destined to be pink
tea affairs.
