SATURDAYS GAME
WILL TELL TALE
Grafton and Grand Forks
Highs Will Mix For the
Northern Honors

1t begins to look as though there
would be another longwinded argu.

anxious to play Grand Forks and Dew.
us Lake has cancelled it's game with
n locals giving as the reason the i'm
possibility Of raising enough expense
money to pay for getting the Forks
team to that city.
Grand Forks. Minot, Devils Lake
and Grafton high schools are the only
ones IN the northern part Of the state
that might by any means lay claim
to the title. With Devils Lake out OF

fore part Of the season and at the
present time does not seem very anx-
tous to meet the locals. It is, how
ever. probable that they will play
here on November 4, but they have
date.
The games Saturday will mean q
lot IN the state championship race,
Grand Forks plays Grafton in the lat
ter place. Grafton defeated the Uni
versity of North Dakota second eley-
en- on Wednesday by a score Of 10 to
Leaving Minot out Of It. If Grafton
should defeat Grand Forks in Satur-
defeat Fargo. 1t would make a three
cornered fight over which argument
v should cease . However IL the
locals trim Grafton, Grafton will be
out of 1t and it will be a case of Minot
and Grand Forks fighting it out for
the northern title.
However should Grand Forks drop
not-what's the use. They are not
going to. Still II such a turn Of af-
fairs did come about there would be
a most glorious mess.
Fargo Not Alone.
Fargo is not alone in the race for
the high school championship in the
southern part of the state. The Ell.
derltn high school took a wallop at
Valley City normal IN Saturday and
although they only won by a score
OF 3 to 0. showed that they are also
In the big conflict. Valley City and
Jamestown are scrapping it out, but
from h dope it looks as though Far
go had the real goods.
Dickinson, Mandan and Bismarck
are out Of the race through lack Of
material. Mandan defeated the cap
ital city eleven by a score Of IS to o

three of these towns have schools Of
about the same class and it Is UNDER

heaviest. From personal knowledge
the writer knows that the Mandan
eleven would not be able to do any
thing against the Grand Forks team.

line Of a championship team this
year is nil.
While it is rather early in the sea-
son to predict. 1t looks very much az
though the Fargo eleven would do
final battle this season with some one
team from the northern part of the
state for the state honors. The Grand
Forks eleven Is putting In all of the
time possible and under the coach
ing Of doc" O'Keefe has developed
a football machine that it will take
more than The average high school
eleven to overcome.
The dope. that magic word in sport
parlance, goes to say that the Grand
r eleven will prove a tartar for
the Grafton team. According to the
dope, East Grand Forks lost to Crook

Forks lost to Grafton, 6 to 0. and
Grand Forks defeated Crookston rs

that Grand Forks should return the
winner from Saturdays game Is to o.
Grand Forks the Same.
The Grand Forks lineup for Satur-
days game will be practically the
same as in the Duluth high school
game with or two changes. Fish
man. the stellar fullback of the local
eleven, will be in the squad that will
make the trip. Other changes have
been made. shifts from the. line to the
bacbfield being the most important,
but the personnel Of the eleven re-

Right guard. B%urfenning.
Left guard, Dryden.
Center. Armstrong.
