WESTERN \. D. TEAMS
. ELIMINATED FROM RACE

Grand Forks. N. D., Oct. 30.-West-
ern North Dakota football teams have
been eliminated from the race for the
state high school championship race,
through Grand Forks defeat of Mi
not, at Minot, q to 8, Saturday. Mi
not has cleaned up everything in the
northwest except Williston, with
which it tied. while Grand Forks al
ready had suffered defeat in the east.
Just now, Park River and Grafton
are the formidable teams in the north
end of the state.
Lidgerwood holds the center of the
stage in the south. Fargo, by defeat
ing Valley City Saturday, put that
team out. Fargo lost to both Grand
Forks and Wahpeton, jamestown was
defeated by Valley City earlier in the
year, leaving Lidgerwood practically
the lone contender.
Just now, it looks as though the
state title will lie between Lidger-
wood and either Park River or Graf
ton.
