DAkOTANS CRASH THROUGH IN
LAST HALF AFTER BEING
HELD

After being held scoreless in the
first half by a dogged Wildcat de-
Tense, the Crosby Maroons pushed
over two to%uchdowns in the last two
periods TO defeat the P~lentywood
eleven IL TO 0 on the fairgrounds

The big. aggressive North Dakota
eleven outplayed the Wildcats most
of the costest, and on%ly'once did the
Wildcats penetrate their opponents

their customary offensive punch.

with the wind at their back. Plenty
wood kicked, and on the first play
from scrimmage Anderson got away
for a ten yard gain. The Maroon
attack was piled up, however. and
they were forced TO punt, Gallagher
taking the kick on his 10-yard line
and behind perfect interference re-
turning the ball TO midfeld. He was
almost in the clear when spilled.
The first half was mainly a kick
ing duel, with honors between Gal
lagher of the Wildcats and Ander-
son, Maroon halfback, about even.
Play the first half was mainly in
territory but the Ma
rooms never seriously threatened the
Wildcat goal.
Crosby Scores
At the beginning of the second
half, Crosby received and began a
sustained drive up the field that
eliminated in a touchdown when. on
a double reverse behind massed in
reference, Cary, fullback, scored a
touchdown through Plentywood's
left tackle. The attempted place
kick conversion was blocked. Plen-
tywood receivd and carried the ball
past the Maroon 4O-line but were
held.
Half way in the last quarter Cros-
by scored again, on a sustained
march, after recovering a Wildcat
tumble in midfield. Cary packed the
ball to the 1-yard line on the same
play he had scored a touchdown ear
lier in the game, and Quarterback
Thon carried it over on a quick
thrust into the middle of the line.
The Wildcats smothered the place
kick for the extra point when the
pass from center was low.
The balance of the game was
played in midfield, neither team
threatening TO score.
The Crosby backfeld luminary
a Anderson, fast and Handwriting
halfback who carried the ball nearly
three fourths of the plays. He was
especially adept at picking holes in
the Wildcat line and was a fast and
shifty runner when in the open.
Other Maroon stars were Captain
Jacobson, burly center; their huge
tackle. Sczcur; Quarterback Thon,
an exceptional signal caller; and the
other two members of the backfeld,

For Plentywood, Acting Captain
Hegland. end, was the outstanding
performer. The rugged Crosby back
field made very little yardage
around his end. More than once he
apparently was taken cut of the play
but he regained his feet and spilled
the ball carrier for little or no gain.
Peterson, tackle playing next to
He9land, was a sparkplug in the
line. Stenehjem also performed cap
ably in the Wildcat line, which was
decidedly outweighed by the Ma
rooms. Quarterback Gallagher played
well until removed by injuries in the
last period. Cybulski worked hard
on defense at his line post, and KEEL
strup in the backfield did more
tackling than is customary for a
backfield man when the powerful
