Grand Forks, N. D., Nov. 7.-(R)-
The University of North Dakota closed
it's home football schedule and won
it's second North Central conference
game by defeating Morningside. IL to
0. here Saturday on a field slippery
with mud
The Sioux made hard work of lick
ing the fighting Methodist outfit
whose light line fought the heavier
Nodak forwards throughout a battle
that gave the fans few thrills.
Seeking TO develop reserve strength
for games ahead, Coach c. A. West
kept a steady string of players going
on and off the field. There were only
four North Dakota regulars in the
starting lineup and at no time did the
Sioux coach have his II first string
players in the game.
The only time the Nodaks were able
to make sustained drive Of any kind
was in the third period when North
Dakota took the ball on its own 49,
yard line and marched to the second
touchdown. West had his four regul-
lar backs, Ralph Pierce, Larry Knauf
Rip Dablow and Bill Leidholdt on the
field and Leidholdt smashed his way
through the Morningside line for
more than three-fourthS OF the dis
lance, Pierce darting the last 10 yards
off the Methodist left tackle for a
touchdown.
The first counter came in the last
minutes of the opening quarter after
SherWood's punt against the wind
went out of bounds on his own So
yard line. Jerry Cope carried the ball
four yards over Morningside's right
guard, then broke loose through the
same hole for the remaining % yards,
Get Single First Down
Despite the fact that reserves play
ed most of the way, the North Da-
kota defense kept Saunderson's attack
we'll in hand at all times. Morning.
side was held to a single first down,
midway in the fourth period when the
Methodists played their best football
both OH the defense and offense.
Venson tossed a neat running pass
to Sherwood that Melted IL yards and
put the ball OH the North Dakota 29-
yard lil.c. A penalty on North Dako-
ia for offside moved the ball to the
24-yard stripe. Venson again passed
to Sherwood for four yards and the
Methodists had but one yard more to
60 for first down, but Haenfler was
held without gain OH try at the line
and Knauf tossed Venson for a four
yard loss OH the next play ana the
Sioux took over the ball.
That was the nearest Morningside
came to scoring. The Methodists had
the ball in North Dakota territory on
only two other occasions.
The Morningside running attack
melted but 80 yards against 2l3 and 10
first down for the Nodaks.
Outstanding for Morningslde was
the play of Bones at left guard and
WANT at left tackle. These two vet
Grams were stalwarts on the defense
Bones travelling all over the field to
make tackles.
Venson and Sherwood did most OF
the ball carrying for Saunderson with
Venson making most OF the ground.
Big Ted Meinhover was North Da-
kota's best defensive player, although
Art Malo, veteran left guard played a
sensational game. Ball carrying hon
ors went to Vests two tailbacks, Cope
and Leidholdt.
Perry, Morningside's left end. was
badly injured OH the kickoff and re-
