Will TON TEAM NOW ON
STRAIGHT ROAD TO STATE
CHAMPIONSHIP HONORS


With steady march to the Fargo
goal line which was crossed seven
times during the game, Williston high
school Saturday afternoon covered
itself with glory and is today the
team that has the only real claim to
the championship of the state in high
school circles. The score was As to
0, three goals being kicked by Brueg-
ger in addition to the seven touch
downs.
The weather was perfect from the
spectators standpoint and though a
little warm it did not stop the foot
ball teams from showing everything
they had and the game was an ex-
hibition that delighted men who have
seen many varsity games among con-
ference teams.
The march of the Williston men
started right off the real. Coach Joe
Cutting was fortunate is being able
to send the best he had against Far
go and also in having half dozen
substitutes ready to go in any min
ute. Gordon was running the team
at the start.
Straight Game at Start
Straight football was the word and
after the second play tho little color
ed quarterback had the Fargo team
going so fast keeping up with shifts
and fake formations that it was easy
for the backs to gain the ground.
With the ball about twelve yards
from the Fargo goal Gordon called
for a pass and Bruegger received a
perfect throw from Scott. The ball
was behind the goal line and the first
score had been counted. s
Following the lineup again the Will
liston boys made straight march to
the Fargo goal and this time Gordon
himself skirted the Fargo left end
for 20 yards and placed the ball be-
hind the posts. Williston then went
into the game to make the score de-
cisive and Jaynes and Scott were sent
over for counters before the first half
ended. Bruegger kicked one goal and
the score was 20 10 U.
Fargo Takes Brace
The second half saw the Fargo
boys take a slight brace but it was
only few minutes before Scott was
over for another marker and Brueg-
ger again kicked goal. Kulas was
then given chance when the ball was
worked down to the Fargo posts and
he went over with half a dozen Far
90 men riding him. Bruegger took
the extra one also. The ball had been
worked down the field for this touch
down by series Of forward passes
and fake plays and with Mcdonald
taking Gordon's place at quarter. Cor
don had been handicapped by sprain-
ed ankle all day and his work was
wonderful but he took the brunt Of
the game and when Mcdonald went
in it was with instructions to use the
new stuff and show the crowd what
Williston really had. The little quar-
ter lost no time in using this
stuff all together but even at that it
brought out that Williston could play
the open game if necessary and that
the weight of the team was only one
incidental which made it champion
ship calibre.
Open Play Looked Good
Following the hard work in which
Jaynes, Scott and Kulas had taken
the ball thru many times this open
play gave the ends a chance. A lit
tie more careful defensive play when
the pass was executed would have
put over several of the plays but as
it happened it merely showed that the
Fargo boys were fighting all the time
and that Williston was not getting
point that they did not get by su-
perior football.
With time close to the end the Will
liston crew made one more dash down
the field. The last touchdown was al
most lost by Williston tumble but
second later a Fargo man slipped
the ball and Scotty was on it like
flash. The last score was made as
was the first, with a pass from Scott
to Bruegger and the score was IS
points, rolled up against team that
has cleaned all comers in the Eastern
part of the state and men who came
here confident that the Williston lads
would not have it ION them"
