was. Carleton-lithe and quick-witted
abducted with every single bit OF
the glory. leaving as a reminder OF
their visit only the charred segments
OF a torpid legion Of ~so-called grid
iron warriors.
The final check up showed that the
Gopher state athletes had IS points
to their credit while the home team
had no more. than they had before
the game started.
Carleton won a tranquil victory.
They played ring around a rosy
with the home boys and didn't have
to break their necks to do it. 1t was
a case of a real football team against
well. as we said before, the univer-
sity, for at times the sideliner could
never tell that Carleton had any oppo-
sition on the gridiron.
Should Have Won.
Carleton should have Won the
game. They had the ~" outvied in
started, but they should not have
been permitted to calmly prance up
and down the field without having to
at least fight.
Only at stage of the fiasco did
North Dakota show other than a
mere grammar school knowledge of
the sport or a determination to win
and this was so near the tag end of
the battle that the squirt didn't amount
to much In this evanescent period
the Flyickertails did try to hit the line
and for a minute it looked as though
a touchdown might be secured. The
rapid-ire maneuvers were short
lived. however. and again the hearts
Of the loyal rooters were scared tn
the core.
Not Coach's Fault.
Ten million Vehmeier's could not
have made North Dakota play Satur-
day. AS nan more Vehmeiers and a
couple of bushels of Armstrong; could
not have infused life into a dead body.
The men who played against Garlic
ton did not show the stuff that counts.
With n or two exceptions they did
not fight. They played an indifferent
down the spines of the boys who love
their alma mater. Their attack was
anaemic. weak and thin. and when
they were guarding the yearned-for
goal line. they were as feeble as "A
ce%ntenarian with the palsy.
Situation Alarming.
The lack of fighting spirit and the
players of the u. N. D. football team
SATURDAY. afternoon has actually
alarmed the Flickertails who take
pride in their big school and want to
see 1t win out in all things.
This sort of business must stop
or we will be the laughing stock of
the country" they say.
and the University of South Dakota
to be taken IN. it would seem that
something must be done at the "U''
to a V her reputation in athletics. If
a brace is not taken by the football
team they will most surely lose the
remaining three games of the sched-
ule. At the present time they are
chance to pull out In all three games.
If they will only get down to business
and play Football.
No College Spirit.
Now that we have "kicked off, let
us suggest. and in good faith, too.
that a little more real college spirit
at the U might help some. A foot
ball team must have suppor. and a bic
more life OH the part of the student
body would undoubtedly bring the
desired results. No school can leave
everything to the band and get by
with 1t.
No Comparison.
A comparison of the two cams that
clashed on the university field Sat-
urday afternoon is almost impossible,
as Carleton knew the game and play
ed to win while North Dakota simply
laid down.
Carleton was a well-greased ma
chine that moved like a new parlor
clock. They were a nicely-balanced
squad of dexterous athletes, alive to
every opportunity. The men IN the
backfield wer al feet as jack rabbits
and rs daring as a lioness with cubs.
The line was not unbendable, but
could not be easily fractured. The
entire team evinced a splendid school,
ing in the game.
Five touchdowns were made by the
visitors and the goal was negotiated in
kicker-Robertson. One touchdown
was made in the first quarter, one in
the second, two in the third and one
in the last quarter.
Carleton hammered the North Da-
kota line almost al will. repeating
play after play with success. On only
a half dozen occasions did the Flicker
tails accomplish any real tackling.
They played high and allowed the
trained Gophers to plunge past them
for long gains. The Carleton man
with the ball got away through OPEN

visitors, got away for a forty.yard run
in the second period and made the
SECOND touchdown and kicked goal.
His playing was brilliant throughout
the game.
They Played High.
Pinkham, quarter for North .Dako-
ia, executed two sensational tackles
and saved another touchdown in the
fourth quarter. He played low and
grabbed for the legs while his team
mates apparently tried to embrace the
visitors about their necks.
Lack of generalship on the part OF
the North Dakota play leaders was
noticeable throughout the game.
The varsity depended toe much on
Gill, a good man who has had little
time to get in trim. Since Gill re-
turned to school reports from the "U'
have contained little information con-.
corning the line and all the dope has
been conferred on this Gill boy. The
old star played n fairly good game
Saturday. but he couldn't do every
thing.
North Dakota was painfully weak In
the booting department. At one stage
of the game the varsity couldn't gain
ton yards on n punt.
In attempting the forward pass
North Dakota used little Judgment.
The ball was tossed safely into the
hands of an alert Carleton man in

When the Carleton machine first
