Bemidji Pirated Score
of 80 to 0 From Local
Junior College

Bemidji Teachers College-that
romped over the Junior College
Buccaneers last Wednesday night
before dwindling crowd 80 to 0
had just about everything.
With power surges that featured
Johnson and Aylesworth, behind
sweeping interference; passing that
went from johnson to Wilcox; and
the magic toe of this same end Will
cox made trouble for the Buccan-
GERS. But the Buccaneers, lead
defensively by that boy Stretch at
tackle, made a gallant Sandstone
how looked good even in disastrous
defeat.
From the outset it was Bemidji.
On their very first succession of
downs johnson tossed twenty
yard pass to Wilcox to the three
yard line, and Aylesworth, speedy
fullback, rammed for the score. But
right on the next play the BUGS
showed their defensive qualities
when they were in so fast on the
attempted kick that the ball never
left the ground after it was placed.
A series of fumbles found Larson
on top of Aylesworth tumble on
the Sank Centre 20 yard line. A
pass from Dickhaus intended for
Elver was snatched by Bennington.
From there Johnson romped rs
yards to score. Again they missed
the conversion.
In the opening of the second
Hilary Egan intercepted a pass and
landed in the lap of whole swarm
of tacklers. Sank Centre quick
kicked out of a hole, and the ball
went into play on the so yard line.
But stalling was short-lived when
Aylesworth banged through the line
for 30 yards. Johnson cracked for
ten more. Kringen, at the end, was
over fast to snag the ball carrier.
He fumbled and Egan recovered
for Sank Centre. Ethun's punt out
to the 20 yard line was short. Then
on reverse johnson to Stewart
that boy passed a 25-yard ball to
Wilcox who numbered over to score.
AS the half drew to a close Sank
Centre had its brief inning. Be-
midjis kickoff went to Ethun on
his own five yard line. Twisting,
weaving up the field he went fifty
yards on a sensational return be-
fore he was hauled down. A fiji
teen yard penalty on Bemidji ad-
vanced the boys to first down.
A reverse from Dickhaus to Elver
and an attempted lateral to Ethun
resulted in a tumble. Kringen re-
covered. Then another penalty ad-
vanced the boys to the eight yard
line. Then with pay dirt almost
in their grasp, Dickhaus' pass was
intercepted.
In the third Bemidji took over
again. Boring in hard from their
own 30 yard line Bemidji waltzed
down the field to get into pay dirt
territory. There with defensive
work of Stretch and John Egan a
tremendous factor, they were turn
ed back. Then deep Ethun went
back to the kick formation spot.
On a fake play the ball went to
Egan who was tackled behind the
goal for a safety. That was only
the beginning of trouble.
On the free kick from Sank Cen
tres 20, Bemidji was bounding
back. With Stewart featured on
the succession, they rammed for 20
yards down to the 2 yard line,
where Bennington crossed the goal.
Sank Centre using the same play
that beat st. Cloud Teachers sent
Dickhaus out on a sleeper. The
pass from Ethun was good for 20
yards, and then a whole series of
fumbles and intercepted passes
swayed the fortunes Of war often
in this third. Everything was go
ing well until Egan passed to Ethun
on a reverse and an attempted lat
eral to Dickhaus was wide. Will
cox was breaking through, he took
the lateral, and romped IS yards to
score. Their conversion by line
buck was good.
Short by a touchdown and an
after point Of their decisive victory
over the BUGS the preceding Fri
day, Bemidji earned their last
touchdown. Turned back time
and again, a pass from Johnson to
Bergen finally scored. The lads
came out of the tussle, battered,
