Grand Forks. N. D., Oct. PA
through gains throughout the four
quarters gave North Dakota Il to
6 victory over st. Thomas here Sat
nrday. The Cadets put up a great
fight, however. and time after time
held the powerful Flickertails in
the shadow Of the goal posts.
But is was North Dakota's day and
the Nodaks would not I've denied. In
the second quarter driving attack
with Westerdahl bearing the brunt
Of tho work sent House over for the
initial marker, while in the final
period with about three minutes to
play, Boyd plunged over from the
four yard line after 40 yard return
Of Il punt by Lux had put the ball
on the l6 yard marker. st. Thomas
counter came in the second quarter
when johnson tossed 20 yard pass
to Hoy.
Running SENSATIONAL
The sensational ruit1ing OF two
North Dakota backs was the out
standing feature Of the contest.
These ball-luggers are Wcsterdahl,
scrappy fullback from Slayton,
Mimi. and Paul Boyd, Colorado
husky. Westerdahl carried the ball
on nearly every play in the first
half and seldom was stopped short
Of four or five yards. Several times
bucking the center Of the Cadet wall
for eight or nine. He continued to
rip the Cadet line wide open until
early in the fourth quarter when he
was carried from the field exhausted.
Boyd started where Westy left off
and was unstoppable for the rest Of
the game, tearing off gains of II
and 26 yards on successive plays.
Boyd was not used much save for
punting in the first half and failed
to do much, but suddenly got going
and probably played the best game
of his career
The Nodak line was stone wall
and the Tommies could gain only two
first downs from scrimmage. The
entire Flicker line played brilliant
ball and blocked three Cadet punts,
narrowly missing blocking several
more. Dunnell and House, other
Nodak backs, gained much ground,
while Lux's return Of punt in the
final session was a beautiful bit Of
work. Murray at end and Trauer
| and klughertz, backs, were the stars
in st. Thomas great fight.
Threatened Early
| North Dakota made it's first threat
a few plays after the first kickoff
when they blocked Mero's punt, but
Boyd fumbled a pass on the 10 yard
line on fourth down. After an cx-
change of punts, Wcstcrdahl and the
other backs started their driving at
tack, but could not get the ball over
until early in the second period when
the Flickers recovered blocked
punt on st. Thomas 35 yard line and
paraded over for a touchdown,
House scoring through left tackle.
Boyd kicked goal.
After gaining the ball following a
| punt soon after the next kickoff the
Flickers again set out for the goal
line only to be stopped just short on
several, occasions. On their last
march, Johnson intercepted Houses
pass near his own goal line and was
only stopped by the safety man.
A penalty for tackling out Of
bounds, run by Tauer and two long
passes, Johnson to Colliton, and
johnson to Hoy, scored the touch
down. The kick was blocked by Hal
vorson and Macmillan.
Innumerable opportunities were
passed up by the Flickers in the sec
ond half and not until Lux had made
his sensational return Of the punt
did the Nodaks show the scoring
punch.
Picked Up tumble
Hamm picked up a tumble by
Boyd late in the final period and
dashed 65 yards behind perfect in
reference for a touchdown, but the
fact that the ball had already been
blown dead by the referee forced
the ball to be brought back.
