ota Agricultural college field.
Fargo's victory is not surprising as
he Midgets were looked on as favor
core was trifle larger than was eX-
ected. The Demons were fighting
cam until the end, but their offense
vas not strong enough against the
'owerful Midget defense. Not once
lid Bismarck make a scoring gesture,
nd from the opening whistle, they
we're continually on defense.
A wet field, covered over with
traw, proved handicap to both
cams, especially to Marvin Doherty,
,ackfield ace of the Midgets, but even
With that handicap, Doherty played a

he extra point.
The half found Wilbur Swanson
aiming considerable yardage on end

holding down the score.
Find Fargo Tough
Bismarck found Fargo just as

er and they were able to make little
Roadway on line plays. When in pos
