Forsyth received to open the game. Their first running play was smeared for no gain. A bad pass from center sent their tailback scampering back for the ball. Just as he picked it up, Jack Taylor hit him with a vicious tackle and he fumbled, Red Hanson recovering for the Wolves. The Wolves drove straight down field behind good blocking and Bearskins and Del ger’s running. Driving hard. Del ger then travelled from the four for the touchdown. Hanson’s dropjkick was blocked. Rolston, living up to all advance notices, took the next kickoff and drove straight down the middle to just past the midfield stripe.

The Wolves drove to the Forsyth 20 on a series of running plays. The Dogies held and it was fourth down and nine to go. Bearskin uncorked a beautiful pass behind excellent protection and Jack Taylor made a sensational catch behind the end zone to give the locals their seconS touchdown. Hanson’s dropkick was blocked. Forsyth received and returned to their 40. Their running game was effectively checked by the hard charging Wolf Point line, but they dropped back and tossed a long pass that carried to the Wolf Point nine. Rolston hit the line twice, fairly torpedoing himself through for the Dogies’ touchdown. Buzzie Lund blocked the attempted place kick. Wolf Point received and drove to the Forsyth two where they lost the ball on downs. Forsyth cracked the line twice and the half was over, 12-6 for Wolf Point. Wolf Point received to open the second half. Beginning on their own 28 the Wolves began a steady march that ended with Bearskin going over from the 3 for the touch down. The dropkick was wide. In a wild fourth quarter Rolston was tossed for a loss back on the 11, but 15 yard penalty multiplied the loss. Then the Dogies tried a pass on fourth down and the Wolves knocked it down. It was first for Wolf Point on Forsyths 35. A fum ble was recovered by Tarbox of Forsyth who ran the ball down to the 40 where Cowen made a re sounding tackle. Rolston had been hurt in the meantime, but without their ace in, the Dogies drove down field for their second touchdown, Schneidmiller making the tally. Their try for point was blocked by Mason. As the game was drawing to a clqse, Wolf Point’s fumble was re covered by Forsyth on their 45. They’ tried a forward with a lat eral to Rolston, who was back in the ball game. Buzzie Lund inter cepted the lateral but was downed immediately. Kirkpatrick ran a quarterback sneak as time ran ouL Final: Wolf Point 18, Forsyth 12. A fighting spirit, aggressive de fense, and improved downfield blocking brought victory to the Wolves. Rated a five touchdown loser by some experts, the locals simply outfought and outcharged the Dogies to bring about the up set. But one substitution was made for the Wolves during the game, Glassey replaced Mason whenever Wolf Point kicked off as Glassey did the booting for the locals. Mason went back intW the game each time immediately fallowing the kickoff. The foot was taken out of football in this game. There was not a punt by either side in the entire game. There was not a conversion follow ing any of the five touchdowns, either.

On offense Bearskin and Defter did the hulk of the gaining behind a line that was opening good holes. Grayson was terrific as a downfield blocker, leading Bear skin and Delger on many of their ground gaining runs. Rolston is the outstanding back that the Wolves have faced this season, but the tough Wolf Point defense stopped his break-away touchdown runs. It was the first game that the Dogie speedster has been stopped from a long touch down run this season.
