| ry fi {mproved Bismarck Defense “Gives Up But Two First Downs; Offense Groggy (By the Downtown Quarterback) Late in the second quarter, Chuck} Murray, fleet Demon halfback, grabbed a Mandan punt on his own: 48-yard line, eluded some half-dozen would-be tacklers and raced through the entire Mandan team for the touchdown that gave Bismarck a 6 to 0 triumph over their rivals from cross the river here Friday after- noon. It was a spotty looking Bismarck eleven that outplayed the Warriors to get revenge for their two setbacks at the Mandan school’s hands last year. At times they Jooked good, at other times only fair, and sometimes not even that. But they did manage to roll up eight first downs to two for the Braves and amass a considerable amount of yardage themselves while they were stopping their opponents almost dead in their tracks. Improved defensive line-play was the big factor in the Demon's victory, despite the fact that a quartet of ca- pable backs, paced by Murray and Harold Smith, twin triple-threats, kept the Braves on the defenselve most of the afternoon and allowed them no leisurely moments. Offensively the blocking still left snuch to be desired, though an im- provement in that department over the showing against St. Mary's last week was made. Demons Start Poorly Off to a bad start in the first quar- ter as a contrary wind and an alert ‘Mandan offense kept them in their vwn territory, the Demons came back strong in the second period but were unable to threaten until Murray’s, quick scoring thrust. Murray's line-plunge try for the point after touchdown fell short of the mark and there the day’s scoring ended, Bismarck’s biggest threat to add to the tally came early in the fourth quarter when Walter Brophy recov- ered a Mandn fumble on the Mandan 28-yard stripe and with Shafer and Smith carrying the ball the Demons moved up to the 18-yard line. A five- yard penalty put the oval on the 14- yard stripe but there the Mandan de- cense stiffened and the Braves took the ball on downs. With the wind at their backs in the first quarter, the Braves succeed- ed in making the Bismarck boys nervous but were unable to push the ball*to within scoring distance. At no time did they seriously threaten to overcome the Bismarck lead.

That, in brief, is the story of the Saints’ game with Linton high school’s Lions at the Emmons county seat town Friday afternoon. The triple-threat Dobler set the stage“for his touchdown dash with an ll-yard pass to the 10-yard line for @ Linton first down and two plays later circled his own right end for the only tally of the contest. ‘He added the extra point with a well-aimed kick from placement. Things were pretty much on even terms as the Saints and the Lions battled it out, though the Linton ace’s passing and running served to keep the St. Mary’s eleven on the de- fensive much of the game. On at least two occasions a de- termined St. Mary's forward wall stopped cold Linton thrusts within the five yard line. Once in the third period a series of passes coupled with end runs put the Lions on the Saint one-yard line but there St.. Mary's dug in and pushed them back to the four-yard marker and took the ball on downs. Again in the fourth quarter a long pass and an end run put the Lions within one foot of the Saints’ goal line before the Bismarck boys were able to halt the scoring thrust just short of a touchdown. St. Mary's big chance to tally was in the first period when Bob Patz- man, quarterback, heaved a pass from the Linton 20-yard marker to Don- ald Downey in the end zone, but officials ruled that Downey fell out- side the playing field and the play went for nothing. Bob and George Garske, brother- guard combination, and Al Cam- pagna, who played at tackle on of- fense and end on defense, were bul- works in the Saints’ line with Johnny Weigel and Dutsky Schneider carrying the brunt of the offensive len. ‘The Saints play the Lions here in a return game Oct. 15.
