The North. Dakota university team
was overwhelmed Saturday afternoon
by the South Dakota varsity eleven.
The score of 80 to 3 tells the tale
OF q team superior in every feature
OF the game. although it bellies the
quality OF football played by the
F~lickertails.

fight. They battled grimly against

but, In three quarters, they gave the
South Dakota men a hard struggle
and warded off the the Coyotes fierce
attack. After the visitors secured
three touchdowns in the third quar-
ter. the Flickertails rallied, and.
through stubborn defense and a bril-
liant attack. fought the South Dakota
men to a standstill.

should have been much smaller. II
Gllfs proteges had played the game

Quarterback Payne erred In his
field work.. In the first half, when
the Flickertails were fresh and fight
ing hardest, he slammed Gill's light
backs into the heavy South Dakota
line, hoping that the forwards would
open up holes. But the men were UP

exception of Lynch, they could open
no holes in Courtwright's forward de-
fense. Notwithstanding this, Payne
rammed a light back against a 200
pound line, and, as q result, 1t was not
until the third quarter that North Da-
kota made the required ten yards for
the first time.
In the last quarter. Payne resorted
to the open-style game. and, for a few
minutes. the Flickertails had the
South Dakotans b~ewildered. When
finally given the opportunity, the
North Dakota backs played a good

considerable ground on the forward
pass. It took time to get the forward
pass working smoothly, but. near the
end Of the game, the team was using

upon the heavy South Dakota line
played the men out, and, consequent

quarter. the fighting spirit had waned.
In this period, the fierce and swift at

in the last quarter, however, and, for
q great part of the time, kept the ball
in South Dakota territory.
