FIRST BIG HIGH
GAME TOMORROW
Grand Forks and Grafton to
Battle for Gridiron Hon.
ors at University.

The high school football season will
ne officially opened in Grand Forks
tomorrow afternoon when the team
OF the Central school will battle for
gridiron honors with the eleven rep
~resenting the Grafton high. The
game will be played at the university
and will be followed by the annual
university freshman-sophomore cane
rush. which promises to be about as
exciting as the gridiron struggle. The
admission to the afternoon Of sport
Is only twenty-five cents and a big
crowd will no doubt see the fun. II
the weather is right, and present in
dtcattons point to a continuance Of
the Indian summer variety tomor-
row.
Coach O'IIeefe seemed more en-
couraged over the prospects for his
team winning tomorrow. this morn
ing. than he has at any time since
the battle was arranged. He said:
The boys are in good trim and
should give the visitors all they can
take care of tomorrow afternoon. Our
new men have gotten into pretty fair
shape and I look for them to put up
a hard fight. The old men are going
all that can be expected Of them.
They will be heard from after the
whistle starts the play tomorrow aft
.ernoon."
DOC" put his candidates through
a light signal practice last night. They
will warm up in the same manner to-
night for a short time.
The Grafton team is said to be beef
to the heel this fall and very fast.
In a recen struggle with the alumni
they walked all over the former play
ers by the score Of % to 0. Most Of
this years Grafton men are new, but
they have the stuff, according to re-
ports.
Captain hoffman Of Grafton is a
last years star and is said to be
working in better shape this fall than
ever. He has demonstrated to the
coaches that he can run a team we'll,
keeping 1t on the move all the time.
He is reported as saying. in Grafton
little difficulty in trimming Grand
Forks. Perhaps his confidence will
stand him in hand when the teams
get together tomorrow.
Lack Of enthusiasm is noticeable at
the Grafton high this fall, it is said.
and this may mean the defeat of the
visitors tomorrow. for the g. F. H. 8.
rooters are planning to be out In large
numbers. They have their horns and
voices already in trim for the occa-
sion and the showing Of high school
spirit promises to" be the best ever

Did you ever notice when Matty had
two on bases and nobody out how he
has on the ball? When he does this it
is dollars to doughnuts he either
strikes out the side or retires them on
easy pop flies. Well, it will be the
same in the worlds series. Mathew

ages Of the. both men are identical,
each practically leading the outheld-
ers of their respective leagues with
marks Of .972.
Becker and Lewis have the same
batting average. .270, and differ but a
few points in fielding. The weak
spot Of the New York outfeld would
appear to be in Devore's average Of
1897 and batting Of .243.
New York's batting strength among
infielders. however. is quite as pro-
nounced, from the figures. as Boston's
advantage in the outfield. Merkle.

ton player a few points In fielding.
Larry Doyle. at second. has been hit
