GRAND FORKS
HIGH CONFIDENT

Grand Forks Times The Grand
Forks high school eleven is spending
the week putting in some OF the
hardest work that Coach O'Keefe can
give them, preparing for the annual
Fargo high school game, which will be
played in this city on University field
Saturday afternoon.
Coach O'Keefe and Lieut.. Phil
Hayes, who is home on visit, put
the team through It's PAGES on Mon
day night and on Tuesday the squad
was given a forty-five minute scrim-
mage which had been tried out in
signal practice were pulled off and
worked well against the second team.
The squad has also been given sew
eral good talks with the various
plays explained by diagram and the
way things are going at the present
time Fargo will have a hard Job maxi
Ing any gains or scores In the battle
on Saturday. The local team will
average about I40 pounds to the man
which is a little better than the Far
go team and in speed the elevenE are
about even.
The showing made by Fargo
against Grafton was nothing mirAcu-
lous and the game showing that the
line was very weak in place. This To-
cal line is one of the best that the
Grand Forks high school has ever
had. Lynch, Ferguson, Dryden and
Coulter are men that play football all
OF the time and who have been OPEN
ing nice holes for the backs all
through the season. At the present
time Fishman the star fullhncIi, is
laid up with a touch of the grippe but
expects to play Saturday All OF the
other members Of the squad arb In
fine condition and ready for the Hard
est kind Of battle.
While nothing definite has been
learned In regard to the true strength
OF the Fargo eleven, 1t is known that
they have been putting In all Of the
time possible getting ready for the
game in this city. The two men shove
all others who the locals win hate to
contend with individually are Htooth
at right end and Nesbit at half. Both
of these players have been putting up
a classy game this year. They are
the two strongest men on tho Fargo
team, Nesbit especially so owiilg to
his speed.
1t is expected that there waA be
quite large number of Fargo high
school students who win make thu trip
to the city.
M Shifting the Team.
While the lineup for the brand
Forks high school has not as yet been
announced, It will be about the same
as in former games this year. Welsh
and Coulter are being shifted from the
end to tackle and half back, each get
ting thorough trying out for the
position which he may fill the best.
Ferguson is being shifted from right
tackle to fullback and is filling both
positions well. The rest of the line is
the same, Dryden or Reilly at right
guard. Armstrong at center, Burfen-
ntng's at left guard. Lynch at left tao
kle, Captain HasseIl at left end, Snip
O'Keefe at right half. LodmeIl ut left
half and Fishman at fullback.
Would Tackle Varsity.
Captain GulIiclKson, Manager Nc
FHdden, Coach Dunlap and several
others OF the University Of North Da-
kota have been approached on the
challenge which it is expected viii be
sent them from the high school eleven.
All INDUCED in hearty laugh ana
stated that they would very much like
to meet the kids" in another game
Since the day that the high school
played the university to a standstill
and q to tie. both teams have i'm
proved wonderfully. 1t is hardly
probably that the high school eleven
would be able to defeat the state in
stitution team. However, there is a
chance that the game will be played
and Coach O'Keefe of the high school
states that IL it is he will have some
plays 10 pull off that will land the
several goats OF the university players.
