Camp Greene, Charlotte. n. c., Nov.
I9.-(By Mail. )-"Should auld ac-
/ quaintance be forgot and never call
ed to mind, played the North Da-
kota band. Zippy and poppy and
with a martial swing, II was a march
that will live as long as time is time
in the memory Of the men OF the
F1ickertaii state and her neighbor
Montana. For the Montana boys left
Camp Greene today, Saturday. Nov.
9, and the North Dakota oand was
extended the courtesy OF leading the
parade to the loading platforms.
Side by side with Colonel Frame Of
the 164th. stood a couple OF French
captains. their robins egg blue uni
forms, black caps and gold braid
standing forth in strange contrast to
the dust covered boys in khaki. The
North Dakota regimental street was
crowded by the boys Of that good old
state as the Montanans passed by.
There was a thrill furnished every
one by the boys who passed, a thrill
fraught with deep meaning for the
passing Of Montana merely brought
nearer the day when North Dakota
will leave too.
Col. ]. G. McGuinness, dlsdaining
a mount of any kind headed his col
umn and received the salutes Of the
crowds along the way. The parade
was cheered and cheered again. For
Montana and Dakota boys have
fraternized much since coming to
Camp Greene. their regimental blocks
adJoined and they have found much
in common. They are men OF the
golden west and, here, from 1000 to
5000 miles from home, they found
remembrance Of
The land where life is untrammeled
Where all live lives that are free
And where the sunsets at even
Burn glories for you and for me
Where a handclasp is meant for a
handclasp
Where a man is a man spite OF gold
And the true inner meaning Of friend
ship
In a broader sense seems to unfold.
Just when tho North Dakota boys
will leave is a question, that cannot
and will not be answered. The send
brigade had been left here for two
weeks after the balance of the 41st
division had left for the north. The
Montana regiment left this morning.
the 116th Ammunition train compos-
ed of the Wyoming companies leaves
tonight, and the 116th Supply train
composed largely Of South Dakota
companies leaves early in the morn
ing. Sunday will see the military po-
lice on their way. With these three
sections OF the brigade go Col. Frank
White. 1t. Col. Thomas Tharalson,
and Captain II. T. Murphy. formerly
Of the Smashed Second North Da-
kota. The 147th and 14Sth Machine
Gun battalions. the men of which
were all formerly in the Fourth South
Dakota, will leave Sunday night or
Monday.
This leaves only the First North
Dakota regiment, now the 164th. in
Camp Greene, but IL is impossible to
predict when this regiment will leave.
Recently orders were given out that
meant the First North Dakota would
be under way on Nov. 2. They were
changed and in consequence of tele-
grams and we'll intentioned news
paper stories, mail has been sent
elsewhere. All mail should be sent to
Camp Greene until a definite word is
given Of the transferral and compile
ton Of the transfer.
College, preparatory and high
school training, quicker action and
greater Drawn gave the North Da-
kota football team an easy victory
over the Thirty Regulars Tin
fantryl in a hotly contested game
Saturday afternoon at Wearn field,
Charlotte. by a score Of IL to O. At
no time was the North Dakota goal
in any danger and the F1ickertaiI
state boys laid of in the second half
content with a victory won in the
first two quarters.
North Dakota kicked off and Huler
ran the ball forty yards to the North
Dakota 25 yard line where 1t was lost
when the Regs were held for downs.
Nemzek, captain and full back for
the westerners, and Duggan, right
half, ploughed through the line re-
peatedly for substantial gains when
the forward pass was tried and net
ted the Dakotans 35 yards by Rob-
ert's right end. Duggan next got away
with a forward pass for a twenty
yard run, and with the ball on the
five yard line, Nemzek went through
the center for a touchdown. Duggan
failed to kick goal.
Underwood, Dakota's left end, after
a number Of line rushes, got the ball
on a forward pass from NemEek and
went thirty yards for the second
touchdown.
With two men left Of the second
quarter, the Dakotans again ran the
piRskin down the field and aided by
a thirty-five yard forward pass gain
by Duggan and a twenty three yard
pass to Crawford, made the Thirty
ninth's ten yard line when time was
called.
Nemzel, who formerly was captain
and a star OF the North Dakota Agri-
cultural college team, played like a
fiend and with Melchior, quarterback,
handled the team in fine style.
Only once when Fullback Ryder OF
the Regulars slipped a pretty pass to
Miller. his right end. for a thirty five
yard run, did the Thirty ninth gain
any ground. The North Dakota line
held like q stone wall most Of the
time, at best allowing but few scant
yards.
Every man on the North Dakota
team has won his letter in high
school or college athletics. Ward, the
big $50 pound. foot Z inch center,
played on the Nebraska Western
university eleven. He proved z
formidable hulwark on the Flicker
tail team today.
The lineup for the game was Thir-
