Heine, Coach Lending moral support Pepping up school spirit The week following the game at Windom was spent in preparation for another opponent who was admittedly out of our class. This was the game with the Concordia College Fresh- men. The game was played at Moorhead under weather conditions more favorable for baseball than for football. Our boys could not stop the Cobbler yearlings’ attack. Despite the defeat, the local boys acquired some valuable experi- ence which should help them in their future Aggie games. Our boys were outweighed, and found themselves pitted against a tricky back- field and an almost invincible line. The result was that the freshmen completed six marches across our goal line and made good three of the extra points, amassing a total of 39 points, while the Aggies were unable to put the ball across the goal line. No doubt the experience gained in this encounter was a contributing factor to the victory that the Aggie team scored over the Park River gridders on the following Friday,

Coyne, Edwin Johnson, Student Manager In the two weeks following the Fergus game, our team met with two de- feats—one at the hands of the alumni, and the other, the Windom High School team. In the alumni game the only scores made in the first half were a safety by the alumni and a touchdown by the Aggie Team. The third quarter found the alumni scoring again, making two touchdowns. Parson carried the ball over for the last touchdown of the game. Final score was 14-12. In the game with Windom the opponents scored twice in the first quarter and once in the second. In the third quarter Spaulding carried the ball over for a touch- Folycarp Meyer down, and the try for point was good. Windom crossed our goal line once in the third quarter-and again in the fourth.

Hit that line! It was an inspired football team that fought its way through four quarters of hard football on Friday, November 5, on the local field and came through with their first victory of the year —a 7-0 triumph over the Park River, North Dakota, Agricultural School team. The local team forged ahead early in the first quarter when Grothem sprinted thirty yards for the only touchdown of the game. Spaulding made good the try for point. In the second quarter Parson caught a punt in midfield and crossed the goal line but the play was called back be- cause of a clipping penalty called on a Morris player. From this point on it was an even battle. In the third quarter Park River came back strong. Starting from their thirty-yard line they advanced to the Morris Aggies’ twenty-yard line, where Baldry stopped their threat to score by intercepting a pass. That was the last serious scoring threat of the game. Harold Grothem, Captain All set for a touchdown
