Another Tough One
The Flickertaiis have another tough
battle ahead of them. Marquette has
won all three games played thus far
with the North Dakota team and each
by a narrow margin and the local ag-
gregation hopes to turn the tide this
season. However. the Catholic team
looks very strong again this year. 1t

Saturday winning from the Haskell
Indians by a score Of IL to o. A weels
ago Saturday Marquette won from
Creighton 20 to Q, while Creighton
handed South Dakota University a Il
to 6 drubbing last Saturday.
While games cannot be doped on
a basis OF comparative scores as was
the case in the days Of old%-fashioned
football. these scores indicate plainly
that North Dakota will have a tough
proposition on Its hands and will have
to play a fighting game to win.
Score is Deceptive
Local football experts who saw the
game at Fargo against the Aggies say
that the score falls far short of show
ing the comparative strength of the
two teams. They give the Bison cred
it for a strong combination, but claim
that they had no cha nee to score and
that Aggie players themselves admit
! ted that they were in luck to have had
a slippery field to play ,on. as the
score would have been much larger
against them.
The Bison offense was shattered al
most before the game was we'll under
way for the reason that as soon as
their plays were stopped the backs
were at loss to know what to do. This
failure to come through against stiff
opposition wa due to the fact that
all the gamesIplayed had been easy
ones and the players We're unaccus-
toned to being stopped, and it is un-
derstood that there Is some dissatis-
faction at the Aggie school over the
handling OF the schedule.
Explains Small Yardase-
Coach Davis said yesterday that the
A. c! supporters were at loss to know
why they were beaten when a running
account of the game shows that the
Bison gained many more yards than
planned that the Flickertails did not
attempt to carry the ball until they
were In A.. c.. territory, playing kick
ing game throughout and waiting IN
til they took possession of the ball
within striking distance Of the Aggie
goal. When that time came the ball
was put over for the winning score
and the team again settled back to a
kicking game.
He used the put for a two-fold
purpose. to keep the ball out Of uni
gerous to have it there with fumbline
possible on account Of a wet ball. and
to keep the A. e. on the offensive
after he found that the team could
hold the opposition without difficulty
Davis explained that while the Ag-
gle punters were outkicking Burkman
by ten yards each time, they did not
| gain by it for the reason hat Robert
son was returning the ball that far
and farther. while the Bison were be-
ing stopped in their tracks by the
university ends.
The coach praised Burkman's work
in running the cam, and also his pass
ing, and he said also that Robertson
played a nice game at half.
