nneapolis-Hibbing was officially
awarded the junior college football
championship of the state over the
claims of st. Cloud by the Minnesota
Junior College Athletic conference at
its annual session in Minneapolis. At
the close of the regular football sea-
son last fall dispute arose between
ST. Cloud and Hibbing junior high
schools over the championship of the
ference which made it necessary for
contender for the title to play at least
three teams in each division of the
conference. In the northern division
of the conference, in which Hibbing
is located there are only three
schools, which made it impossible for
Hibbing to meet this requirement.

record for the season the representa-
tives at the conference decided to
award the title to the Range eleven.
