COLLEGE HAS
ELIMINATED SCIENCE SCHOOL

Saturday afternoon in the first game
ever staged in the new Fargo college
stadium before a. crowd of 1900 peo-
pie, Coach Watkins eleven completely
blasted the hopes of the Wahpeton
warriors. The final score was 10 to
0 in favor of the hill school boys.
About 2:30 a big noise was heard
in the direction Of Island Park, and
the crowd chat had already gathered
realized that the science school de-
tenders were to be cheered by a thirty
attending rooters marched boldly to
their reserved section in the grand-
stand, and prepared for victory.
BY this time the Fargo college root
ers were in their places, and were
making the field re-echo with their
loyal cheering. The yells were we'll
organized, and before has such
an effect been heard from a Fargo
college crowd. @
4 The science investigators were soon
on the field, trotting around the grid
iron. The Fargo college followed and
went through a snappy signal prac-
tice. A heavy mist was falling within
the last half and showed things up
very noticeably.
At 3 o'clock Referee Shave footed
the whistle, and Rolf kicked the first
ball ever booted in a game on the new
field. = ..,~. -,~ ~ .
The first half was fast and interest
ing from a spectators standpoint. The
locals ran VI and down through the
line Of the visitors, scoring two touch
downs the first quarter, n the sec
n quarter. The second half was
much slower. Fargo college had a
good lead, and the quarterbacks play
ed only enough to keep the margin
safe over Wahpeton. The Wahpeton
back field livened up in the last half,
and made it interesting for the Fargo
college boys, butting the ball down to
the 3 yard line. This was the real
test of the Fargo college defense, and
it responded with a fierce stonewall,
leaving a shut, out, 10 to O, the same
score that Lafayette was piling up
against Swarthmore in the east.
The new field was a surprise to
those who had not seen it. The
managers had made excellent arrange
ments for the handling of the large
crowd, n many complimentary re-
marks were heard from those who
love clean football, and strict side line
rules. With the crowd restricted to
the, grandstand, the usual interference
by swarming ON the field at critical
moments was entirely avoided.
