school football team crushed the
Fargo high school eleven at Hughes
field Saturday to 0.
Beginning a drive in the last part
of the first quarter the Demons
continued it in the second quarter
and after making six consecutive
first downs, Jacobson, who proved
the main cog in the Demon offensc,
crashed over a fighting purple eleven
for the ony touchdown of the game.
Jacobson then stepped back and
made a beautiful dropkick for the
extra point.
Bismarck's eleven didn't look SO
husky when lined up against the
powerful Fargo eleven. though the
local boys had slight weight ad-
vantage over the visitors.
A line that charged lower. a back
field which hit harder in spite Of
injuries, team which played smart
football most of the game. but a
team which tackled slovenly in many
instances represented Bismarck Sat-
nrday. The fighting purple eleven
left the field with many injuries,
none Of which proved serious. Fol
endorf. Midget tackle and captain,
left the field in the third quarter
with a sprained arm.
Benny Mellon, 125-pound Fargo
halfback was the only man to make
any Roadway against the Demons,
the little fellow squirming for sew
eral runs Of 10 yards or better.
Folendorf Gets Burden
With Meinhover and Lee pitted
against Folendorf. Bismarck made
most of its gains through Fargo's
left side of the line. The Demons
could not gain through the other
side. But Meinhover and Lee failed
to stop Mellon from coming through.
Fargo likewise played only one side
Of the line with success.
Bismarck outplayed Fargo greatly
in the first half and, though the play
was more even in the second half,
held the upper hand throughout the
contest.
Bismarck's line played q hard
fighting game. O'Hare wasn't used
much because of a charleyhorse in
his thigh, and jacobson carried the
brunt Of the Demon attack. Spriggs
made only few gains on returning
punts, one Of q yards, and was held
for no gain on most Of his line and
end attempts. Landers blocked we'll
