To Score
Is HARD, CLEAN GAME

Forced to the wall by fighting
Williston eleven the Bismarck high
school football team came back in the
second half Friday night to score a
IA to 0 victory in the Demons hardest
game this season.
It was a stubborn Bismarck line
that turned back the Coyote offensive
machine three times after the ball
had been worked into the shadow OF
Bismarck's goal line.
The Demons played inspired foot
ball in the third quarter when they
alternately smashed and passed their
way to Williston'S scoring stripe in q
march that carried them almost the
entire length of the field.
Starting deep in their own terri
tory the Demons ripped the Wuliston
line wide open in series of power
plays that carried the pigskin more
than 40 yards. Two passes, Agre to
Benzon, and Agre to Green put the
Demons into scoring position. Green
carried the ball over. Another Agre
to Benzon pass was successful az
Bismarck scored the extra point.
Late in the third stanZa Bismarck
launched another sustained drive
that left the ball on Williston's q
yard stripe as the quarter ended
Wade Green, flashy Indian fullback
was responsible for most of the yard
age gained by the Demons.
Shortly after the starte Of the H.
nal stanza Agre scored after the De-
mon backs had worked the ball into
scoring distance. A pass. Agre to
Murphy, netted the extra point.
Williston launched an aerial attack
late in the game in belated effort
to pull the contest out Of the fire,
BiSmarck's secondaries worked effec-
lively to batter down the long Coy
ote passes.
Williston had things we'll in hand
during the quarter but lacked
the scoring punch to batter down a
grim Bismarck line. After working
the ball back and forth in the early
minutes Of the period the Coyotes
gained nearly 20 yards when they re-
covered a funbled punt. The De.
mons stiffened to take the ball or
downs and punted out OF danger but
Williston came back to gain 80 yards
On long forward to threaten again
The Bismarck line was fighting, how
ever. and resisted the attack to take
the ball on downs on their own one
yard line.
Captain Lester Dohn was taken out
of the game in the first quarter after
he had suffered hip injury.
Green, Benzon, and E. Agre all
played stellar football in the back
field but it was q smart, tough line
that captured the honors through
their great defensive game. From
end to end they played bang up foot
ball with Murphy and Schlickenmey-
er performing brilliantly.
Williston played hard and clean to
give the locals as tough game as
they have been called upon to face In
recent years. Captain Skies at full
back played great defensive game
and the Coyote forwards were an
alert, game aggregation.
The blocking Of both aggregations
was hard and fast. Several times
players on both teams hit opponents
SO hard that the sound Of the impact
could be heard way up in the stands
Bismarck was guilty Of a number
of costly errors that almost led to
Williston scores. Their principal
difficulty was in returning punt&
