'paotficUi t95f Coach Wally Klein 's third N-I football team was the equal of any in the conference, but tough breaks caused them to lose two close games in four. The Dusties piled up 63 points to their opponents' 25 and landed in fourth place in the nine-team conference. Fred Retzlaff led his mates in scoring with 24 point s from his fullback position. Coach Wally Klein Captain Buzz Whelan Darwin Whelan Co-Captain. Center J Jim Mooney Co-Captain, Halfback Dickinson's Savages, eventual conference co-champions, had two scoring chances against the Dusties Oct. 5 and made both of them good to defeat the Dusties, 13-6. The N-I had numerous scoring oppor- tunities, but made only one of them, a 67-yard romp through the entire Dickin- son team by Fullback Fred Retzlaff. The other Dustie loss came at Jamestown Oct. 19 where the Jimmies took a 6-0 victory, their first against the N-I in six years, by scoring early in the first quarter and staving off Dustie drives with fine punting the rest of the evening. Sand- wiched between those defeats, the Dusties romped over Bismarck Oct. 12 by a score of 32-0, with Casey Pierce scoring two touchdowns, Eddie Leuthner getting a touchdown and kicking two extra points, Rctzlaff adding a touchdown, and Danny Slemmons tossing a pass to Ted Dockter for the final tally. Eddie Leuthner Quarterback Danny Slcmmons Quarterback Exploding for three touchdowns in the final quarter, the Dusties turned a tight, bitterly-fought game into a de- cisive victory in their last game oi the season by whipping the Wahpeton Wildcats, 25-6, before a happy Home- coming throng Oct. 27. Wahpeton drew first blood in the second quarter, but the Dusties came right back on a fumble play which sent Darwin Whelan scampering 20 yards for a touchdown. Eddie Leuthner ran for the extra point that put the N-I ahead. In the final period Leuthner played a major role in all three touchdowns. He ran 10 yards for the first one, lateralled to Fred RetzJaff for the second, and tossed a pass to Eddie Muckenhirn who later- ailed to Ted Dockter for the third.

His beat mark was a 12 ft. 3 in. effort at Jamestown May 19. seven inches better than the previous N-I pole vault record.
