HIGH SCHOOL WILL
HAVE HARD FIGHT
The University Will Run Up
Against Stiff Proposition
in Aggie Game

Local interest in the football game
is now divided between the battles on
Saturday. Grand Forks plays Fargo
for the championship of the state of
North Dakota. and the university
eleven plays the aggies for the col
.legiate championship of the state. The
former game will be played here and
h latter will be pulled off in Fargo.
. The high school boosters have got
ten out a number of different adver-
Using signs. Placards nave appeared
in the windows and tags have been
passed around bearing Il am going to
the Grand Forks-Fargo game on Sat-
urday." The high school students and
Coach O'Kaefe have expressed consid-
cradle confidence over the result of
the Saturday conflict. However the
team is getti lg more drilling and sig
n practice than they have at any
other time this year n expect to
rday.
fargo is reported as having a fast
team They a,c undoubtedly filed
with the sumo old fighting spirit that
has characterized all of their former
conflicts AID :he locals know that they
will have a stiff game to battle
through. All of the men on the high
school squad are showing up well. es-
pecially Snip O'Keefe. He has been
doing some punting that would COM
pare favorably with some of the uni
versity kickers of fame. During the
recent Grafton game he pulled off a
drop kick that would have cleared the
bars and netted three points had 1t
not been for the fact that the wind
carried 1t Slightly out of. its way.
o'Keefe's toe is expected to prove a
big factor against the "midgets."
Although Fargo was defeated by a
score Of ~ to 8 on Saturday by the
Minneapolis Central high school. The
big score rolled up against them does
not show that the Fargo eleven is
weak. They Were simply up against a
big eleven. n which outweighed
them and won by an admixture of
beef and brute strength rather than
football skill. Truly it will be a battle
royal and we'll worth seeing.
University Interested.
Interest in the football eleven Of
the University of North Dakota has
increased considerably since the wall
Looping that was handed out to the
Presbyterian cohorts. when tn Mac
which has been circulated in an effort
to get enough loyal students to go
to Fargo for the A. c. game to secure
a special train has met with many
signers and there is little doubt but
that the special will be secured and q
good crowd of rooters will follow the
team.
Talking about the walloping that
Manchester got. Our old friend Foot
ball Dope, says that Carleton, had they
played the. team the varsity supports
at the present time. the score would
have: been II to 0. Carleton
played Macalester on Saturday and
rolled up a score of 10 to 0. The
Flickertatls defeated the Macs by a
Sonro nf % IN q C0o,o rj;Nfo~o-o-
cording to the; aforesaid F. 3. Dope
Carleton would he beaten were they to
play the North Dakota eleven again
this year :,
The university squad was out for
signal practice on Monday evening,
but owing to tho wet gridiron the
signals were dispensed with to a great
extent and the team donned rubber
Soled shoes and ran through the sig
nails in the gymnasium. Several new
plays were explained to the team and
IL long talk was had Owe the way GER
tain formations should be played. 1t
is expected that al least one scrim-
mage will be possible during the week.
In regard to the A. c. game, Mr..
Fargo college team which was defeat
cd by he aggies by a score of S to O,
was only defeated by st. Thomas by
a o of 3 to O. With this in view
the .aggies have a better team than
st Thomas ani-if the Flickertails
arc able to down the farmers. it would
go to show that they have a better
lever thar the st. Thomas college
sirEorts.
Dope may be right but Saturday
will tell the tale. Just what the uni
,versity lineup will be has not as yet
been. announced. However it is prob
able that the A. c. erids will outweigh
them. The following is how the fav-
ored players Of the aggies stack up:
