Of 81 to 6. Grafton is now entitled to
meet Williston, champions of the

Frequent fumbles on the part Of
Valley City marred the game con-
siderably in the first two periods, but
in the second half the down-state men
took a stiff brace and made a real

Jag the first two periods Grafton COM
pletely o~utplayed their visitors. the
taird period was an even break and
the fourth period was slightly in favor
of Valley City, they having possession
of the ball for the greater part of the
period.
Grafton's back field was the feature
of the contest. Newgard. H. Nelson

Tharalson at quarter was not very

they seemed to be completely de-

Two Of Grafton's touchdowns were
made by the use of straight football
from the center of the field. One was

whose level is 906 feet found the edge
water in the Hewitt sand at depth
of 24Sl feet which is 1925 feet below
the sea level.
The Anderson-Simpson well found
the edge water and gave the same
result
The Texas company No on the
Laura Nolan farm found the edge
water in the Hewitt sand at 1917 feet
below sea level This we'll was in
section 2S
II is interesting TO note. says Mr..
Swgart, that the Westheimer &
Daube we'll in the northwest quarter
OF section II struck water at under
practically the same conditions Mr..
Swigart believes that this is also an
edge We'll.
Thus II is seen that the west and
southwest limits Of the field are well
defined and more than one or two lines
OF offsets to the south cannc: be
hoped for.
While the formation encountered in
the Men'ck we'll in section are
extremely favorable for north ex-
tension ore is not justified IL pre-
dieting that this Will not tini oil
or that the field will not extend
further north. In fact. certain area
in section and 10 and in the north

On the northeast the field is defined
by two wells-Templeman- in

but certainly the log Of the Temple
