The University of North Dakota.
decisive victory over South Dakota
State college on Friday afternoon
makes the Flickertails loom up as
strong ~contenders for the first football
championship Of the new North Cen
trail intercollegiate conference. II
was generally conceded that the win
ner OF the Friday contest would wir
the conference title inc followers ol
the North Dakota team are already
casting covetous oyes on the brant
new bunting.
Speaking of the Friday game yes
terday. Coach Davis stated that the
best team Won He added that he had
told his men before the contest that
II the line could hold back the Jack
rabbit backs the FlickertalS could
win.
Had No Runners.
Coach West Of the South Dakota
team. simply stated that he could not
win games without runners. The
coach and team were disappointed
ove the outcome.
South Dakota was slow. The backs
were brought down before they could
get under way and the line was out
charged by the lighter North Dakota
forward wall. The J%ackrabbits COM
pleted many passes, but the amount
Of ground gained by the aerial route
was small. as the receivers were al
ways covered.
On the other hand the North Da-
kota players showed worlds of speed.
Davis has developed a team that dis
plays wonderful speed and drive and
It now looks as though all departments
had hit their stride and were work
ing, together.
Contrary to expectations the local
players came through the hard bat
tie in good shape, and it looks as
though they would all be in their
proper places next Saturday. Games
with South Dakota State have always
been productive of many cripples, as
the Jackrabbits hit hard. Davis seems
TO have finally persuaded his players
to believe that IL a man hits his op-
ponent hard the chances of being hurt
are much less.
While North Dakota looks like a
champion, II the Flickertails get
away with the title it will not be
without further trouble. 1t now looks
possible that one of the old time bat
ties between the Aggies and Universe
ty will be staged at Fargo this fall

While Montana was found weak, the
work of the Aggie team was such a.
to cause concern.
Three Games Left.
North Dakota has three games 1ef

come ought to be favorable to the 10.

Dakota closes the season, has won al
her games, but her opponents have not
been teams Of strong calibre.
Both South Dakota teams are now
ou of running. st. Thomas has beer
beaten by South Dakota, but the
North Dakota Aggies, Marquette and
Morningsdde still have a chance equa'
