z started Five Veterans
Coach Roy .. Mcleod started a
ntcam which had only five veterans,
pthree OF which were regulars IN last
wears eleven. John O'Hare was used
lat quarter. Eddie Spriggs at the full
! back post, Captain Earl Hoffman at
the pivot, Wallie Greene at half. and
Henry Potter at the other half.
The remainder OF the starting line
up was: Waffle Hultberg and John
! SprigRs, ends: Harvey Erlenmeycr and
! Arnold Schneider at tackles; and
! Charles Whitley and Russell Ensc,
guards. Except for the work Of Hofi-
MAJ and Whitley. the line play Of
the victors was ragged and spoke OF
early season greenness. lii the back
field, the veterans O'Harc and Spriggs
carried the bulk OF tho work. both
rceling off long and consistent gains.
Bismarck kicked off to Linton at
the start. The Demons captured the
ball when Linton fumbled on the Z
yard line. A penalty put them back
! on the l2-yard line. A short pass and
-! two line bucks brought the ball to the
! 3-yard marker. A linebuck failed to
net the necessary yard on the fourth
down and Linton punted to the So
yard line. Eight Bismarck plays put
the ball on the 20-yard line but the
Demons lost the ball on q tumble.
Linton carried the ball to tho 32-yard
line as the quarter ended.
Bismarck held for downs. took
possession of the ball. and with a SER
les OF line bucks and end runs put
the ball over for the first counter.
Bismarck kicked off. the Linton re-
ceiver being put down OH his own 20
yard line. The home team then ad-
vanced to the 35-yard line and punted
to Bismarck's 37-yard line. A series
Of smashes, including a long run by
O'Hare, put the ball over for the Sec
ond counter shortly before the half
ended.
Demons Kicked Again
The Demons kicked off to Unions
1O-yard line. the Emmons county
eleven bringing it to the 30-yard line
before losing possession. Bismarck
advanced to the l0-yard stripe where
Linton held. A pass over the goal
line was incomplete. Linton lost 8
yards on the first play after the ball
was put in play on the 20-yard line
and punted to the 35.yard line. Two
long runs by Spriggs and a line
smash put the ball over again. Bis
marck kicked off again. the receiver
being thrown on the 10-yard ribbon.
Linton journeyed to the 20-yard line
but was held. A punt was blocked
and recovered by Bismarck on the IT
yard line. Three plays brought, an
other half dozen points. Bismarck
kicked off just before the quarter
ended.
Linton puntcd from its wi 21-yard
line to Bismarck's 49-yard line. Bis
marck then started another rush
which brought the ball one yard from
the goal. Here Linton braced. re-
gained the ball, and punted to the
2O-yard line. A 1O-yard dash by Ed
die Spriggs and three more plays put
the ball across the line again to end
the scoring. Bismarck kicked of
again and Linton returned a punt
lust before the starter called hostili-
ties to q stop.
Though Mcleod brought 20 mel
here from the capital city. he used
only Is men in the contest.
vetter Played Well
vetter. Linton fullback, vas thu
shining light for the losers. his de-
fensive play being largely responsible
for keeping the score down.
