The Demons" are going into the
game with Fargo determined to
avenge last years defeat in Bismarck
in the final game for the state
championship. The dope on the two
teams is fairly even, perhaps shade
to Fargo, but with Demons having
made steady improvement all during
the season the local supporters ex-
pect the team to return victor if it
plays in top form\ all during the
game.
Fargo Beat Cakes.
Fargo won the championship Of
the southeastern part of the state by
defeating Cakes, % to 8. Cakes de-
feated Valley City high school by a
more impressive score than Bis
marck, which won a 7 to victory
over the Valley City team in the first
game of the season. The local team
has made great improvement since
the first game of the season.
Minot and Grafton high school
teams will meet to settle the SUI
premacy in the northern part of the
state. The game is unsatisfactory to
both teams, Minot having desired to
play Bismarck and Grafton to play
Fargo.
The indecision in arranging the
championship contests is a repetition
of difficulties last year. After B. c..
Tighe of Fargo, president of the
board, had announced that Bismarck
and Fargo would play another mem
Der Of the board said that the mat-
ter was undecided and Bismarck
would probably play Minot. 1t was
not until $3.50 p. m. yesterday that
local officials knew definitely that
Bismarck would meet Fargo.
l.. w. Upshaw of jamestown, who
has refereed many games in Bis
marck, will head the list of officials
for Saturdays games. A big crowd
is expectation Fargo high is back
ing the "Midgets" to. the limit.
Fargo Ready.
The Fargo team reported to Coach
"Litz" Rusness in fine shape after
= the clash with Cakes at Wahpetor
Saturday. CLANCY was the only
member of the squad who appeared
to be bruised to any extent, and al
his injuries. are minor affairs.
Coach Rusness declared that h.
was satisfied with the Midget show
ing Saturday, but would have bee,
better pleased had the men HANDLED
the ball in better shape. Numerous
fumbles marred the Midgets' play
and took them out of scoring posi-
ton twice early in the game. 81.
or seven extra footballs will b,
tossed out today and ball handling will
/, be emphasized in every practice ses
sion this week.
Fisher In Good Shape.
While Captain Waldo Fisher will
be unable to remove the cast from
his wrist this week, the Midget cap
tain will be able to play during tn
entire contest with Bismarck. Fish
CIR played the entire first half agains
Cakes and performed in sensation
al manner, despite his handicap. Tn
chances are good that the injure
member will be entirely healed b
Saturday, but the cast will not be re
moved
