Long Penalty and Fumbles Rob
Nd. A. c. of Two More
Chances to Score

Fargo, N. D.. Sept. 20.-R-The
North Dakota Agricultural college
football team scored q 6 to o victory
over their lighter Concordia college
opponents In the opening game of
the 1880 season under f1odlights here
last night.
The largest crowd ever to attend an
opening game here. approximately
$500 persons, saw the Bison outplay
the Cobbers from the first whistle.
A penalty and . tumble spoiled two
good scoring chances for the victors.
In the first quarter, with the ball
on the Cobber's four yard line, the
Bison were penalized half the dis
lance to their goal for unnecessary
roughness. while q little later In the
same period, . tumble by Murner lost
SO much ground that his team lost
the ball on downs after having 1t on
the eight yard line.
The winners made their lone count
er In the third period when Cy Louns-
brough Bison fullback, smashed off
left tackle for q touchdown.
The Cobbers made their most seri-
GUS threat in the fourth period when
Ferd Anderson intercepted a pass, but
with q clear field ahead of him, could
not run away from Murner. who
nailed him from behind.

PURDUE BOILERMAKERS PLAN
SCRIMMAGE THIS AFTERNOON
Most Other Big Ten Teams, Ex.
cepting Ohio State, May
Scrimmage Some

Chicago. Sept. 20.-N9-The results
Of five days Of practice In Big Ten
football training camps were on the
testing block today.
Down at Purdue q practice game
was scheduled for this afternoon, and
informal games or scrimmages were
on the states for other squads, with
the exception Of Ohio state. Sam
Willaman, Buckeye coach. leaned to-
ward q light workout.
At the end Of the opening week,
Purdue appeared to have line pros
poets superior to last year. at least in
reserve power, with q backfieid not
quite as strong as the great 1929
quartet, at least in experience. Coach
A. A. Stage, at Chicago. also had
abundant backfield material, but
yesterdays scrimmage indicated he
would be hard pressed all season for
linemen.
Northwestern's first string lineup
appears more powerful than last year,
but Coach Dick Hanley is carrying on
an earnest hunt for reserves for all
positions. Ohio State has q big
squad, with a number Of promising
prospects, but lacking in experience.
Yves Fesler has been moved from end
to fullback to add power to the back
field, while Dick Larkin, veteran
tackle shifted to Fesler's end.
Coach Bob zuppke's task at I'LL
nois is just as he outlined ito keep
on sorting out his squad until he
finds out what everyone can do. He
has only four lettermen, but there are
q number OF last years reserves who
look much better this season. Michi-
gan has plenty Of size, numerically
and physically, and Harry kipke APP
parently is planning q much more di-
versified offense than he had last
year, his first season In charge Of the
wolverines.
Minnesota still Is in the experiment
tai stage, with Fritz Crisler and Tad
Wieman just biting into their first
season there, while Pat Page Is
combing his biggest Indiana squad for
linemen and kickers. Like Michigan.
Wisconsin probably will blossom out
with a more tricky attack than last
year, Coach Thistlethwaite already
having started to bear down On COM
plicated plays.

Proves Sensation; Nodak
Reserve impressive

Grand Forks. N. D.. Sept. 20.-R-
The University Of North Dakota
started its 1880 football schedule with
an impressive IS to 0 victory over a
stubborn st. Mary,s college team last
night in a display Of unusual often
sive power that scored touchdowns in
each Of the four quarters.
After a slow start in which they
were outplayed through the greater
part Of the opening quarter, the Flick
ertails pounded their way to near the
Redmen's goal line from where Cap
tain Glen Jarrett went over on d
lateral pass from Richmond. Rich
mond scored the extra point from a
placement.
st. Mary's held off North Dakota
until the closing minutes Of the sec
ond quarter when the Tickertails
pulled the same play that scored the
first touchdown with Larry Knauf
sprinting IL yards for the counter.
Richmond missed q place kick for the
extra point.
Knauf took the kickoff that opened
the second half and dashed 80 yards
behind perfect interference for the
third score and again Richmond's place
kick Was a failure. Early in the
fourth quarter the Flickertails again
battered their way to the st. Mary's
goal line and John Burma plowed over
the center Of the line for the final
Wexler's attempt to score
the extra point from q placement
failed.
st. Mary's launched an early Of
fensive that took the ball to North
Dakota's 17-yard line, but it ended
when Richmond intercepted q for
ward pass and went SO yards before
he was downed from behind by L.
Prelesnik. The Redmen again
threatened in the last minutes Of the
same period and the opening Of the
second, but both thrusts failed.
Huennekens thrilled the big crowd
in the third quarter when he broke
loose for a AZ yard dash that looked
like a touchdown. but Bill Mjogdalen,
sensational Flickertai' guard, caught
him from behind. Huennekens and
Voekler stood out prominently In the
offensive department for the Redmen,
while st. Mary's line played a strong
game all the way through.
North Dakota's most impressive dis
play was in its reserve strength.

This was typical Of the encourage.

which Mack helped in the develop

players.
Two Of the stars Of Mack's first
championship team in 1902 were
plucked from college ranks - Eddie
Plank of Gettysburg, the great south
paw pitcher, and Dave Fultx OF
Brown, who played centerfield. In
later years such stars as Jack COMBS,
Eddie Collins, Jack Barry, Chick Gal
loway. Mickey Cochrane and George
Earnshaw came to the Athletics with
college reputation.
It was still a trif1e early in the
game to depend mostly on educated
performers in 1902, however, so Mack
surrounded himself with plenty OF
seasoned, rough : and : ready talent.
Napoleon Lajoie and Elmer Flick
were attracted from the National
league, along with Chick Fraser. q
noted pitcher.
The AS had q wonderful infield,
with Harry Davis at first, Lajoie at
second, Monte Cross at shortstop and
