The University of North Dakota's
chances for a clean claim to the
North Central intercollegiate confer
ence went glimmering Saturday after
noon when St. Thomas college de-
feated the Flickertails in a heart
breaking game, 6 to 0, at University
field. The lone touchdown came after
about seven minutes OF play In the
second quarter. when St. Thomas re-
covered a tumble on North Dakota's
ten yard line and Hanousek went
over. The attempt to drop kick for
the extra point was blocked by
Flickertail linemen.
The Saints were outplayed during
the whole game with the exception
OF the last five minutes as far as ad-
the North Dakota players to a stand
still when their goal line was threat
ened.

on three attempts, Ward punted, the
ball going over the North Dakota goal

was then sent of the St. Thomas left
tackle and dropped the ball when he
was tackled at the line. A gray clad
Cadet bounced on 1t.
1t was the first thrilling moment of
the game, but as st. Thomas had not
been able to advance with any con-
sistency. it was thought that the
Flickertails would hold. On the first
play, however, Donahue called the
m~oss-covered criss-cross play and 1:

used before. Thorwaldson. left end on

For the Rrst time during the game
the North Dakota team showed signs
of life when Robertson received the
kickoff after the touchdown. The
ball was advanced by straight football
and a pass to the St. Thomas 80 yard
line, where it was lost on the fourth
down after the second pass was at

ball after he had caught it fairly. A
loss of five yards on an attempt to
skirt an end and a Is yard penalty put
the ball on St. Thomas 20 yard line
and Ward punted.

GLIDING the last few minutes. North
Dakota held the ball in the visitors
territory. continually threatening to
score but unable to produce the punch
to take the ball over. The Saints bat
tied like demons. breaking up forward

The ball was on the Saints five yard
line Immediately after the opening OF
the second half when Ward was
downed on his 20 yard line on the
kickoff and on the next play the Ca
diets were penalized Is yards for I'M
necessary r~oughness. Ward punted
out and Robertson came back to the

. Shortly after this attempt to score
failed Burkman punted out of bounds
on the Cadet 5 yard line. Two trys at
the line failed to net st. Thomas a
yard and the Cadets were penalized
half the distance to their goal for
rough playing and Ward punted to his
own IS yard line.
North Dakota at that time was pass
ing 30 per cent Of the plays but the Ca
Diet defense broke them all up.
The university had another chance
to score when Brodie intercepted a
forward pass on the Cadet 20 yard
line, but the varsity failed to produce.
The game was bitterly fought at tina,

rough work.
Until the last few minutes of play
when North Dakota seemed to lose
heart after being turned back from
the Cadet line time after time, the Wis.
