Cadets Play Safe, Tight
Ball, Winning In Sec
ond Quarter
FARGO HIGH WINS
AT VALLEY CITY
Has Easy Time
Defeating Breckenridge
72 To O

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 15.-Playing
safe, tight football, the st. Thomas
football eleven defeated the North
Dakota Aggies of Fargo, IA to 0, here
Saturday afternoon.
The win was revenge for the defeat
suffered at the hands of the Dakotans
last year. There was scoring in but
one quarter, the second, when two
touchdowns and two goal kicks
cinched the game for st. Thomas.
+ Honors were even in the first quar-
ter. z In the second half however, the
Aggies became aggressive, twice
bringing the ball within striking dis
tance OF the Cadets goal, but were
unable to push it over. Once Egan
dropped a put on st. Thomas ten-yard
line, and the Aggies covered 1t.
For the Dakotans, the work-of Han
son and Keeley were features. LaBis-
sonere and Egan did the heavy work
for st. Thomas. #.

William T. KrolI. former day
clerk at the Annex hotel and a
member of Company B. 1st N. D.
Inf, writes to a Fargo friend that
we are still alive and as yet have
not been able to get the kaiser"
He states that the days are like
summer. but that the nights are
cold and damp like October and
November weather in Fargo. His
letter follows:
Camp Greene. N. c., oct. s, 1917.
My dear friend: Just a few lines
to let you know that we are still
alive and as yet have not been able
to get the kaiser although we hope
TO be able to do so soon. We had a
most delightful Journey down here
and although we were not allowed
off the train any place we thorough
ly enjoyed the trip over the prairies
OF Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois and In
diana and through the beautiful
mountainous scenery of Kentucky,
Tennessee and North Carolina. We
had a great trip and the fruit,
candy and other things provided by
the many friends did more than
their share to make the boys happy.
We arrived at camp on Wednes-
day noon following our departure
from Fargo and alighted from the
train with a sky and scenery not
unlike a July day in the Dakotas.
We marched from the train to camp
and there met a great surprise for
the boys, and especially for those
that saw service on the border, for
all the streets were laid out. We
spent the day unloading our equip
ment and putting up our tents and
the next day as we had stopped on
the wrong street we had to break
camp and move and that occupied
the second day and since that time
we have been busy making things
more comfortable and homelike.
We have In camp about $4,000 men
from the northwest states and the
finest men Uncle Sam ever had
gathered even If I do say so and /
think the people up there will back
me up. We have not as yet started
on our regular schedule but will
soon and have many things to tell
YOU In my next letter. / haven't yet
been around the camp out I know IL
is all big business we are In. We
have seen only one or two Fargo
papers since we came here and we
would be more than pleased to hear
how things are going up there. One
thing | wanted to say was that al
though the days are like summer. the
nights are cold and damp like Octo-
ber or November weather in Fargo
and today we got busy and installed
stoves in each Of our tents.
Give my best regards to all and
let me hear from you for we watch
each mail for letters from Fargo
and so away very often disappoint-
ed.
Most sincerely yours,
1st Glass Pvt. VIM. T. KrolI,
41st Division,

Chicago, Oct. 15.-Champtonshtp as
pirations have been kindled in the
Ohio state football camp as a result
of the 40 to defeat Of Northwestern
by the Buckeye eleven Saturday In the
first game of the 1917 season between
teams of the big Ten.
The clean-cut victory by Wilge's
men brings them to the front as prob
ably the strongest contenders for the
western conference Championship,
won by Ohio last year for the first
time. The setback virtually eliminates
Northwestern from the race, which
last year was between the two teams
which met Saturday.

Indiana and Illinois-and critics do
not believe this trio can stop Coach
Wilge players in their championship
Chicago victory Surprise.
The 40 to victory Chicago scored
over Vanderbilt yesterday was sur
prise to the followers of the Maroons.
The Chicago team, although light ana
green, uncovered a brand OF footoali
that indicates Stagg has the material
for a powerful eleven While the
players did not exhibit anything start
ling in the way OF an Offensive their
work was far more promising than
that of the team which Represented
the midway institution year ago.
There is no hope at Illinois OF
victory over wisconsin next Saturday
in view of the A to 0 lacing the llllni
gave Oklahoma Saturday, while Wis
consin was being held to a scoretess
tie by Notre Dame. Wisconsin seemed
to lack the punch necessary to put
over a touchdown. This apparently
was due to a frequent fumbles.
GOphers show Streugth.
Minnesota, which faces Indiana next
Saturday, had a romp, defeating South
ma lyota state 81 to 0. The GOphers
displayed enough football to convince
their followers of a victory over che
Hoosiers.
Iowa was no match for the power

a AZ to 0 score. S
