According to a game account in the Bismarck Tribune, Bismarck and Camp Hancock won the game, but the quality of print in the box score was too poor to make out a score. The D Company, 20th Infantry Club was comprised of soldiers from the nearby Army post, Fort Abraham Lincoln.

Fort Abraham Lincoln was about 7 miles SW of Bismarck ND.
