The first 80% of the film is an Armistice Day parade, which, of course, sets the date as November 11th.  The last few minutes of the film, however, shows the Fargo-Grand Forks football game that evening, held on NDSU&#8217;s football field.  Not much is shown, however it&#8217;s probably the oldest movie of North Dakota high school football on the internet.  Sure, it doesn&#8217;t have any George Clooney, but it&#8217;s real high school football, the way it once was:  full of bruised faces.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/1164514753160272371-9112354049299949735?l=www.infomercantile.com\/blog\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yeah, you could consider this a tie-in to the new movie Leatherheads (opening today across the country!), but it&#8217;s as good an excuse as any to show an old movie of leather-helmeted football I own.
