\ band played the accompaniment,
which added greatly to the after
Moons entertainment.
Then the referees whistle
sounded and the game was on. 81
to 0 does not tell the story as IL
was played. The first quarter was
played without score on either
side. the ball most If the time be-
ing in the center Of the field. The
s. s. s. boys seemed to lack the
usual pep" and vim. AS the time
wore on. the rooters for each team
volleying back and forth their
cheers, endeavoring to their ut
most to start their side on a SUI
perhuman effort to get the advan-
tage. The playing Of each team
was mostly straight football. each
trying to lind tifat- welcome weak
spot in the line. where a gain
would give them the ball on first
down. 10 yds to go. The punting
on both teams was about even. no
one seemed to have anything ON
the other. Sam White. the s.. s.
SIS star kicker got charlev
horse and his punts lacked the
distance and height. When the
quarter was up, the score board
was still blank and the opponents
on both sides had blood in their
eyes.
! y Wahpeton intercepted a for
ward pass on the resumption of
play but were held to the last
down. and kicked to Fargo. Fargo
was also held and kicked but re-
covered the ball. On an attempted
off tackle smash. Assad tackled
the man, and wher he hit the
ground the ball bounded up in the
air, and GILES, who played great
game thus far and throughout
the remainder of the game, COM
ing through the line, picked up
the ball and ran for touchdown.
Robbins kicking poal. This touch
down was made possible by the
splendid interference Louie And
erson gave to GILES as he picked
up the ball. throwing himself in
front of Fargo player and STOP
ping him in his tracks. for this
man had an open tackle and it is
almost safe to say that he would
have got GILES before he could
have got away.
Straight football characterized
the game, with an occasional for

a forward pass. Ulsaker to Rob-

ing IL to o.
When the half was up Fargo
had the ball on Wahpeton's 25
yd line and seemed in a fair way
to score. But the timekeeper got
tired of looking at his watch and
time was up.
Wahpeton scored again in the
3rd quarter and the goal was
kicked.
In the last quarter Wahpeton
played safe, but at no time did
that Fargo bunch let up, fighting
to the last ditch to score. but
Watkins Remedies proved useless
for Wards proteges, although
they took desperate chances. OPP
ening up on backfield and line
shifts, and forward passes they
shot the ball through the air for
many yard gain and would un-
doubleday have scored had not Ov-
erby that fleet right half for Far
go had held the ball. but luck was
against them and the game ended
in our favor 81 to o.
The playing of the Wahpeton
team was more like a machine
than in. the previous game as was
noticed and commented upon by
the spectators. who watched the
work of the backfield and line. as
they strove together not for in
dividual glory but for victory, al
ways treating their opponents with
gentlemanly tactics and kept the
game as clean as possible. The
officiating was very good, al
though some of the spectators
did not agree with the penalties.
But as any other game. we can
see things from the side lines that
the officials cannot see and they
can see things we cannot see. But
| all in all everybody was satisfied.
The line up was as follows:
