For the first time this season; the

Moorhead high and Fargo high, will
all see action on the gridiron Satur-
day.

Fargo, college plays its first game
of the season with the University or
North Dakota crew at Grand Forks
The North Dakota Aggies meet
Manchester college OF St. Paul on BA-
cotah field in a game that should test
the mettle of each team.
Aggies VIII BE Stronger.
Coach Paul ]. Davis Aggies will be
stronger next Saturday than. they
were against St. Thomas last Satur-
day. The st. Thomas game, while il
brought out no weak spots. showed
Coach Davis several shifts that could
easily be made, and would greatly
strengthen the team. These shifts
have been made, and heavy practice
Manchester lost, to o, to Hamllne
university at st. Paul last SATURDAY.,
which hardly can be taken as an indi-
cation of the strength Of either team.
Pilots Strength Uncertain
Just how strong a front Fargo col
lege will be able to put up against
the University of North Dakota no
one is willing TO say. The Pilots have
not been seen in action this year, and
the small squad that reported with
the official call for practice gave
Coach A. #. Holste few men to draw
for his eleven. Most Of his material
was green.
On the other hand. reports from
Grand Forks say that the university
has as strong a team as last year.
This is partly borne out by the fact
South Dakota to a IS to count at
Vermilion last Saturday. If Gill has
as strong a team as in 1915. Fargo
college viii have to play real football
to win.
Fargo High should win.
Fargo high should win from Fergus
Falls. The Midgets have shown great
form this fall, and have been turning
back one opponent after another. VAL
ley City is the only team to have
scored against them, making a fluke
touchdown in last Saturdays game.
Moorhead high should have an edge
on Valley City, inasmuch as ii is to
play on the home lot. Moorhead held
the heavy Detroit eleven to a tie two
weeks ago, and has been showing
great form in practice since that time.
