PLAY DEVILS LAKE

Devils Lake. N. D., Sept. 1.-THE
best football team that ever represent
Cd Devils Lake is the hope of the BOYS
or the high school who started active

some of the stars OF last year. princi

abundance OF timber which should show

Mclean and Powell in the game. the
old war horses Of bygone days, there
Is no question but what the represen-
tative high school teams of other places
Will md plenty to handle In Devils
Lake.
The team this year will be consider
ably heavier than that Of last wear

least. Captain Rhuberg is confident
that this will be the banner year, Mi
not, the old contender, taking a de-
cided slump over last year by the loss
of several star players, while Grand
Forks and Fargo will be represented
by much the same team.
Handicapped Some.
The team WIN be handicapped some
at the start, due TO the failure Of Coach
McArtor of Ohio to arrive on the scene.
He will not be here until a week from
today. Coach McArtor has a record
at WestVernon, o., where he coached
the championship Ohio high school
team for two seasons. He is an old
university star and should be respon-
sibIe for something exceptional in
Devils Lake, having exceptional ma
terial with which to work.
The first weeks practice, due to Nc
Artor's absence, will be under the di-
rection Of Professor Jorgenson, prin-
cipal of the high school, who has been
responsible for some exceptional work
at Cleveland. Professor Jorgenson has
kindly consented to put the boys
through the first rudiments and when
McArtor arrives much will have been
accomplished.

thusiastic about the team, and Is an
old head at the game; Fred Jones, the

years will be In the back field along
with Mclean. who is never found want
