Present indications are that Grand
Forks and Grafton will be the lead
ing contenders for the district title.
Grafton won from Grand Forks on
their " floor by n point, and have
come down to the tournament BEN on
securing the banner. Grand Forks,
on h other hand, is composed of a
veteran crew, and the contest between
these two teams probably will not be
decided until the last whistle blows.
Grand Forks has played three games
with district contenders, winning two
Of them. Grafton played two district
contests. and won both.
Mayvillc, although not as serious
contender for the title as in former
years., has a creditable record. They
have won from Iangdin and Hatton,
and split even with Nprthwood.
Langdon has experienced a humber
of close contests this season. Grand
Forks and Mayville nosed them out
by close scores. as they also did to
Larimore.
Northwood Is Better.
Northwood is just beginning tc
loom up as possibility for the pen
nant, and their recent win over May
vile puts them in the running. Win
ming from Hatton, and breaking evel
with Mayville gives them a record o
two out of three wins IN the distric
contests.
Larimore's record shows up the hes
outside of the district games, thei
opponents in these two contests bein'
strong. They lost to Grand Forks
and Langdon won from them by tw,
points.
Hatton n Mimic are ranked as tn
weake teams in the tournament. TIL
former has lost three district games
n Mimic lost it's only district con
test to Grafton. Minto, however, i
credited with several victories owe
outside teams.
