down to a surprising to 0 defeat
before a scrappy team from Glen

The locals were beaten despite the
fact that they we're favored to repeat
last years victory over the Montana
contingent.
Giendives lone score came in the
third quarter on pass from Baker
to Molllhalt after Glendive had
worked the ball down to the l7-yard
line on a series of plays that net
ted them four first downs.
Gus Schlickenmeyer almost tied
the count with a 50-yard run 2 few
seconds later. The Montana line
stif.ened in the shadow of its own
goal line, however, and thwarted the
Demons in their attempt to score.
For two quarters the Demons gain

ing the ball within counting distance.
Line Is Disappointing
In spite of early season indications.
Bismarck's line play proved disap-
pointing, particularly on the offensc.
The forward wall functioned effici-
emily on the defense during part of
the game but lacked sustained power.
The ends showed lack OF experience
- {I>@ So
to open up holes for smashes over
the middle.
The backfield figured spectacular
ly in several brilliant coups but also
demonstrated lack of seasoning and
experience under fire.
Green's smashing drives coupled
with Schlickenmeyer's sensational
50-yard run proved to be among the
outstanding features of the engage
nlent Shafer and Norman Agre at
halfback contributed some neat
twists off tackle.
Most of the yardage picked up by
the locals was clipped off on plays
skirting the tackle. Only few plays
Melted gains around the ends or
through the guards and center.
The educated toe of Haskell boot
I'd Glendive out of trouble time and
lime again. His kicks repeatedly rob-
,ed Bismarck of hard earned yard
age laboriously earned on sustain
ID marches down the field.
Haskells long. high punts averaged
about 20 yards longer than the boots
of the Demons.
Play Straight Football
Both teams resorted only to straight
football, mixing an occasional for
ward pass with plays over the line
The generalShip of the Demons was
questionable at times and their over
head game was ineffective.
Glendive kicked off to Bismarck
and the locals worked the ball up to
their 60-yard line only to lose it on
a blocked punt. Glendive was un-
able to gain consistently and kicked.
After an exchange of punts Bismarck
made two first downs but lost the
ball on 15-yard penalty. Bismarck
outrushed the opposition all during
the quarter but Haskell offset this
advantage by his long punts. Dur
ing the last few minutes Of the quar-
ter the Bismarck backs worked the
ball deep into Glendive territory.
Bismarck missed an opportunity to
score at the opening Of the second
period after working the ball to the
seven-yard line but Glendive stiff
fened and kicked out OF danger. The
ball zig-zagged up and down the field
for the remainder Of the period, with
the ball in Bismarck position on
Glendive's 38-yard line at the end
of the half.
Score on Pass
Bismarck kicked off In the third
quarter and after an exchange OF
punts, Glendive started the drive
that Melted them touchdown. The
Montanans got at first down at mid
field as the result of a Bismarck Off
side. They picked up another on a
pass and rushed the ball for addi-
tional 10 yards. Baker Tipped neat
forward pass over the goal line to
Mohlhalt for the winning tally.
Haskells boot for the extra point
as bad. Bismarck almost tied the
count on Schlickenmeyer's 5O-yard
run few seconds later. Agre con-
tributed another IL yards off tackle
but Glendive held the locals for
three downs with only inches to 20
for touchdown.
In the fourth period the ball see
sawed up and down the field. Both
teams opened up overhead but ac-
complished little in the air. Glen
dive intercepted Demon late in the
Stanza bu. neither outfit had the
drive to push the ball over the line
for score. Bismarck had the ball
down close three times but lost the
ball each time on downs.
