free and over the goal as an electri-
field throng looked on. still question
ing whether or not the play was legal.
But the ball never touched the
ground. and Schollander had bright
ened the hopes of Bison homecomers
such as they had not been frightened
in some years.
Then came the thrill Of the after

his second year on the Bison varsity

point for the third time in his COL
legiate career. Wv Mckay. who held
the ball. got perfect pass from Bob
Paris at center, placed it well, and
Jacobson booted it straight as a
string between the two uprightS,
there never being any doubt about
the extra point from the time Jacob
sons toe started it on its journey.
The Bison had to come from be-
hind to record their victory, for early
in the period Ralph Pierce, the No
oaks left wingback, who with Knauf
caused the Bison forwards trouble
throughout, skipped off his own right
tackle, cut back to his left deity
maneuvering his way into the clear
as he evaded four OF the Bison Sec
ondary, and romped 80 yards to put
the Nodaks in the lead. Knauf then
attempted the extra point from place
ment. the ball being wide at the right,
and the door was open for the Bison
who made the most Of the first big
break offered
Defense Was Effective
1t was a case Of a strong offenSe,
as featured by the university run
ners. against q defense which kept
it effectively checked except for
Pierce's one long run for the touch
down. But the Nodak forwards were
surprisingly effective, too. The tackles,
heretofore far less formidable against
the Notre Dame offense, were big fac
tors in the successful Illustration of
the Bison OffenSe. The Nodaks preyi-
ously had used sixnlan line against.
the Notre Dame offense, but Saturday
they pulled seven men into the defen-
SiVe forward wall. and the tackles as
a result were not SO easily routed
Aside from the two touchdoWnS

either team was inside the others 30

sistently after travelling long dis
tances.
While the NOdaks were able u
check the Bison offense well, they
never completely held up Fritz Han
son, the Bison's star sophomore speed
merchant. who was a cOnstan-
threat Several times he used his
speed to advantage to gain neces-
sary yardage to place the ball in po-
sition for first down.
TAFT Proved Strong
The ends, supposedly the weak
spots in the Nodak defense, proved
otherwise, especially in the case OF
Harold TAFT. who was an unexpected
starter TAFT was especially good OF
defense. TAFT and Ted Meinhover the
latter the giant of the Nodak line
proved themselves good checkers on
defense. Meinhover, however, played
end on offense.
Equally as good as TAFT and Mem
hover were Art Malo left guard, ano
Milton Wick, left tackle. The Bisoi
could find no place on the left side
of the line except outside tackle which
yielded yardage.
The Nodaks piled UP far more yard
age than the Bison, but once into thl
danger zone the Bison line braced
to check the advance. The Nodaks
registered Is first downs to for the
Bison. but the difference in yardage
was far more than would be indi-
Gated by those figures.
Neither team was able to make its
passing attack function with any pre-
cision. although the Nodaks appeared
the more dangerous with their aeria'
