state championship.
The latter contest Is somewhat
doubtful however, inasmuch as the
lower peninsula teams have in recent
years shown little desire to take the
upper peninsula into consideration for
the state championship. and seem TO
prefer to let the matter remain unset
tied than TO risk the chance Of defeat
n the hands Of the upper peninsula
