: Completely befuddling the De-
mons secondary defense with per-
tfectly executed passing plays in the
efirst half and then successfully
lwarding off a similar aerial attack
lin the second half, the Braves Of
cMandan high kept their slate for
1.-THE year clean when they defeated
1.-The never-say-die eleven of Bis
marck high, IA to 6, in an Armis-
1tice day contest played in freezing
sweather on the Mandan Fair
cgrounds gridiron.
| Bismarck's lone touchdown came
Tin the final 60 seconds Of the game,
1.-TWO dashes off tackle followed by
CO dive over guard resulting in
touchdown.
Mandan scored in the final min
lutte Of the first quarter and in the
tmiddle Of the second canto, both
scounters coming after q sensational
passing attack.

After an inaugural punting duel
What found both aggregations feel
sing out the strength Of their OPP
yponents with the Demons slowly
Nforcing their way deep into Mandan
iterritory, Leo Mcdonald, broke
aloose for Is yards around Bis
marck's right end, placing the ball
ton the Mandan 80 yard line.
d On the next play, Heidi, heady
Brave quarter whose generalship
Twas largely responsible for the
Mandan victory, tipped another 10
cyards in the same place to put the
ball on his own 48 yard line.
e With Bismarck secondary defense
.crowding the line expecting another
lend run or line plunge, Heidi sud-
denly shifted his tactics, called for
"a triple pass and then heaved the
fball yards to Jarvis who galloped
athe remaining distance to the Bis
craarck goal for the first score Of
vthe game. In his run, Jarvis shook
Ne off two Demon tacklers. Heidt's
yrln<eiick sailed sQuarelv between
ssthe bars to give the Morton county
tlads a seven point lead.
Mandans margin Of triumph
came as the whistle ended the first
quarter.
Mandan Scores Again
Poor headwork on the part Of the
Bismarck field general and good
generalship on the part of Heidi
gave Mandan its second counter.
] After another exchange of punts
sat the beginning Of the second STAN
tza, Bismarck elected to pass on
ttheir own 20 yard line after a Sc
sries of poor passes from center had
tlost 20 yards for them. Browns
ltoss was grabbed by Landers, who
llet the ball slip through his fingers
UNTO the waiting arms of Borresen
con the Bisr arck 10 yard line.
Mandan tried the Demon line
with no success and puntcd over the
lg0al. Similar strategy on the part
sof the Capital City boys also failed
sand they punted to Heidi.
On the first play, Heidi passed
800 yards to Fleck, who was downed
con the Bismarck l yard line. Heidi
attempted two successive quarter
1back sneaks, crossing the last lime
lmark ON the second play. Again
This placekick was dead over the bar
1and Mandan led by IA points.
