Tackle Qggies Og jlllaphilllz 33 The second game this season was with the strong Mayville Teachers College. It was played on the latters field against a team of experienced football men. The Aggies, only having had ten days practice and minus some of their regular players, lacked their full strength. The game started with the Aggies kicking off to Mayville who received on their ten-yard line. They then carried the ball to the Aggie forty-yard line, where the Aggie defense tightened and they lost the ball on downs. Taking the ball, the Aggies fought it back to their ,forty-yard line where they in turn lost it. Receiving the ball, the Teachers, by hard line rushing and short end runs, carried it across for the first was marked by the hard tackling of VVidseth, the Aggie fullback.

But on the next play Mayville's left half intercepted a forward pass and ran for a touch- down. No further scoring was done until late in the fourth quarter, when the weight and rough tactics of the Mayville players began to tell on the Aggies. The Teachers then put over three touchdowns, two of which were by long runs due to our men being pulled out of position. When the final whistle blew the Aggies had the ball on the Mayville 30-yard line and were making constant gains for yardage through the line. Page Forty-seven

The game proved an easy victory for the Aggies which is evident by the fact that the whole game was played in the visitors territory. The game started with the visitors receiving the ball on the five-yard line. After only six minutes of play the Aggies made their first touchdown, Vvidscth carrying the ball over the line. Red Lake Falls received the ball again, this time on the fif- teen-yard line. Being unable to make their downs, the Aggies took the ball on the 125-yard line and with straight football carried the ball down for a second touch- down. The place kicks after the two first touchdowns were blocked, which left the score at the end of the first quarter, 12 to 0, in favor of the Aggies. During the second quarter, with a series of line plunges and end runs, the Aggies completely overwhelmed the visitors with the result that at the end of the first half the score stood, 38 to 0, in their favor, Confer, VVidsetl1 and Skatvolcl, all having touchdowns to their credit. The third quarter was ,featured by Skatvold's 60-yard run through the oppon- ents for a touchdown and Widsethis fourth touchdown after a series of line plunges and end runs. In the last quarter the visitors showed up to the best advantage by holding the Aggies to one touchdown, Stenborg carrying the ball across the goal line for the final score. Many new faces were present on the Aggie line-up, including Vlfardeberg, Luchau, Hole, Berggren, Confer and Dalos, all of whom showed up creditably. Much credit must be given the Red Lake Falls team for their clean sportsmanship and Hghting spirit, although handicapped by lack of weight. Page Forty-six

It took place on Homecoming Day before a large crowd of enthusiastic Alumni, former students, and friends. This game was considered one of the hardest of the season, as Morris was represented by one of the best teams in years. Due to the wet condition of the field, considerable punting was done and straight football was adhered to. Crookston kicked off to Morris who returned the ball 25 yards and then lost the ball on downs. Taking the ball on the 50-yard line, Crookston made several first downs but fumbled and Morris recovered. Morris punted to our 4-5-yard line and after several well executed plays, the ball was in our possession on the Morris 16-yard line. On the next play Widsetli carried it over the goal line for our first touchdown. During the second quarter both teams played safe by punting, although the ball was in Morris' territory most of the time. The score at the end of the first half was 6 to O in our favor. Morris kicked off and we returned to the 50-yard line where we were forced to punt. The Morris safety fumbledand Ostlie recovered, giving us the ball on the Morris 30-yard line. It took only a few line plays through the Morris left tackle and Widseth went over for our second touchdown. Skatvold kicked goal, and the score was 13 to 0. During the third quarter the Morris goal was threatened twice. Once the ball was on the 2-yard line but we were penalized. The game was well played by both beams, Morris being outclassed and only able to make two first downs to our thirteen. Page Forty-eight
