Guard Clllruukstun Qggies 13: Morris Qggies O The annual game with Morris was the third of the season. 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

A couple of successive first downs and they had the ball on their forty-yard line. It seemed as if they were on their way for a touchdown. 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

Having won most of their games and with exper- ienced players back, they were confident of victory. The Aggies scored first after a drive down the field, making consistent gains through the line and around the ends. The Hillsboro team made many long gains by the aerial route, but never threatened the Aggie goal. The score at the end of the first half was 6 to 0 in our favor. Hillsboro, receiving the ball at the begin- ning of the second half, made a march down the field by many passes and end runs, which netted them a touchdown. They, too, missed their goal after the touchdown, tieing the score, 6 to 6. From this point on, the Aggies started their real offense. Gandrud intercepted a forward pass and by clever manoeuvering, ran down the side line through the entire Hillsboro team for '70 yeards before being downed. On the next play, the ball was shoved across the line and Skatvold place-kicked for the extra point. The next Aggie score came when Widsetli. went over for our third touchdown, after the ball had been carried from the center of the field by end runs and off tackle rushes by Skatvold, Stenborg, and VVidseth. Hillsboro pulled a shoe string pass which was good for 50 yards and a touchdown. Th-ey missed this goal kick making tl1e score 19 to 12 in favor of tl1e Aggies.

The game started with the Aggies kicking off. Thief River received and immed- iately started passing, but was unable to make any ground due to the defense of our backfield. They then started line bucks and short end runs. The Aggies were unable to stop them because of their good interference. The result was a touch- down for Thief River. They failed to kick goal. The Aggies then received the hall and by line plunges and fake plays, carried it across for their first score. Scats,' then place kicked and made the winning point for the Aggies.
