reserve to stem North Dakota's at
tack.
Gorder. Gergen Star
Gorder and Gergen were not alone
on the Bison team as stars, as ALI
Skaret, George Fisher, Cod Ordahl
and Mike Sullivan made their mark
on this new field-marks which can
not be erased with q new growth Of
sod. On the extreme left end of the
Bison line, was another hero
George Newgard Of Mandan.
Newgard played his last game
against the University Saturday and
he did a great job Of it. 1t was q
fitting climax for a player who has
given his best to the Yellow and
Green for four consecutive years.
He played smart, strong football and
made the left side of the Bison line
q stone wall, his work enabling Mike
Sullivan to break into the heart of
the Flickertail formations.
On the University team, Alec
Solow, Mike Geston, Willis Shepard,
Carmen House, Harold Westerdahl
and Kochlan played fine football
while Mike Knauf was outstanding
in the manner in which he handled
the team, kicked, ran and passed.
Paul Boyd also was a big offensive
threat and made two pretty runs
which resulted in touchdown.
While Ion Cortright's starting
lineup was fresh, the Flickertails
had little or no chance to score. Just
before the first period closed, the
Flickers worked the ball deep into
Bison territory on an exchange of
punts. When the quarter ended the
Nodaks were on the Bison z yard
line with three downs in which to
make goal. Westerdahl and Knauf
made two consecutive first downs in
this march in the first quarter after
the lengthy exchange, Westerdahl
running "a yards over the Bison
right tackle from q regular forma-
ton, while Knauf followed with an
other gain Of Is yards from a spread
formation which the Bison failed to
solve.

in the first halt, although during the
greater i.~- .lle Bison
were busy fighting off the assaults
Of the Nodaks.
The third quarter offered the most
exciting football of the game. After
two exchanges Of punts, the Nodaks
started on a drive when House gall
loped away for 10 yards, squirming
and twisting away from Bison
tackler. A 80 yard pass, Knauf to
Lee placed the ball ON the Bison 10
yard line.
Knauf Scores
On the same play, the Bison were
called for holding and the ball went
to the Fhckers on the A. C. one yard
line.
The Nodaks lined up with a nine
man line, Knauf yard behind right
guard and Boyd, 6 yards back. Knauf
took the ball on . direct pass from
center an. dove headlong over the
goal for the first touchdown. Knauf
then made the kick from placement,
with Eoyd holding the ball, giving
North Dakota q lead Of Z to 0.
After the kickoff, the Nodaks
made one first down by plunging,
but were held on their third down on
the next series and were forced to
kick. Two exchanges Of punts fol-
lowed and the Bison got q break
when Boyd, kicking against the
wind, sent bis loot from the 20 yard
line out o; bounds on the university
SO yard line. Three plays, two going
over the University's RICH. end, and
one shooting inside left tackle,
placed the ball on the II yard line.
Two plays into the line failed and
pass was incomplete. On the next
play, the Flickertails were offside.
which gave the Bison third down on
the Nodak's 10 yard line. Gergen
gained s yard off the university
right tackle and the ball went over,
ending one If the two serious threats
for q Bison score.
An exchange Of punts followed,
with no appreciable gain by either
team. Shepard gave North Dakota
heart for another rally when he
drove the Bison right tackle out of
the play, and Boyd smashed through
for Is yards, placing the ball on the
Bison Is yard line. On the next play,
Shepard again took the Bison right
tackle out Of the play and Boyd gal
loped through the same hole for q
touchdown, the Bison secondary be-
ing drawn over . fake split buck
at the right side Of the lire.
