Williston graphic. (Williston, Williams County, N.D.) 1895-1919, 1917-11-15

On the same field where they smoth-
cred the Rugby high eleven week
ago the Minot high school gridders
Saturday afternoon were crushed by
a larger score rolled up by the Will
liston high schools eleven, which dem
onstrated its championship strength
in decisive style. Riverside park was
virtually an abattoir, the smashing
attacks by the visiting backs tearing
the Minot line into, ribbons and leav-
ing the entire crew in badly beaten
and battered condition. At the con-
clusion of the mauling the score stood
50 to .O-the most humiliating defeat
ever administered to a local high
school tribe by the Willistonians in
the years of rivalry between the two
schools.
Although the score was lopsided to
an overwhelming degree there were
flashes of spirit and fight by the Mi
noters that encouraged the local fan
dam to take interest in the conflict.
The Kastner aggregation was posi-
lively outclassed. The visitors pre-
sented faster team, were heavier and
their skill and knowledge of football
'loomed as superior to that furnished
by the Minot outfit.
Show 'em to Us
If there is high school team in
the state that can whip the team
coached by Joe Cutting, it will have
to invent few "shoestring" plays or
bow before the Williams county lads,
for the team they put on the field
in Minot Saturday afternoon was good
enough to tackle many college teams
we have heard of and witnessed in
active service.
Williston used straight football
They succeeded in executing one sue
cessful forward pass. Minot also fail
ed with the aerial style, pass after
pass going incomplete. The locals,
however, got away with two forward
passes that netted neat gains. Aside
from these the forward pass was in
oblivion as far as being success on
the local field.
The enemy played hard, fast and
sure. They never fumbled, except
in one or two instances, while the
Minot crew found the ball as slippery
as an eel, despite the fact that the
field was fast and the weather ideal
for a pigskin clash.
To begin with the old-time rival
possessed an experienced gang of
veterans, giving it an advantage over
Minot, as the locals are all new men
and with another year Of experience
should give the Magic City team
that will make most of the good ag-
gregations in the state hustle to hold
them.
Scott Boulder of Visitors
AS an individual scoring star the
Williston team introduced Fullback
Scott, a player of giant stature, who
pushed himself over the goal line for
seven touchdowns-a total of AZ
points for his team. Minot could not
stop Scott in desperate fights in the
shadow Of their goal posts. The visit
ing plunger was too big and husky
and bowled over the scrappy Minot
boys as if they were pygmies. Scott
was used as the touchdown man, 1t
was Scott who was the sure shot when
the ball was near the goal line and it
was also this same player who fur
nished the excellent interference for
the speedy and heavy backs of the
visitors. Jaynes and Kulas, who pair
ed in the backfield, tore through the
line at will, often going IS and 20
yards and in some cases even 30
yards
''POllard" in Scrap
The little quarterback, Gordon, COL
ored, was the "Pollard" of Cuttings
crew. He was a speed artist in ev
cry play. Whenever he carried the
