Four North Dakota high school
football games this weekend will
find traditional enemies facing each
other, another will find Bismarck
attempting to keep it's slate clean
in a, tusslc with Jamestown, and
five others will not affect the state
race.
The four :nnual games Of ira
tlitional rivals follow: Grand Forks
at Grafton; Moorhead at Fargo;
Breckenridge at Wahpeton and Will
liston at Minot.
Grand Forks and Grafton, crst-
while traditional contenders with
Devils Lake for championship hon
ors in the northeastern district
when state champion was recog-
nized, are both undefeated this
year. Grand Forks showed wealth
Of power when it held Fargo to
scoreless tie last Weekend. The
Forkers, strengthened with the
change made when Clinton was
shifted from guard to halfback,
were on the two-yard line when the
first half ended. Neither of the
two teams was able to gain much
Roadway although Central threat
ened three times to the Midgets'
once, which came late in the game.
Grafton Beats Satans
And Grafton, victors in last years
game, is also showing strength in
the state games. The gray-clad
warriors, coached by Bub Nelson,
former Nodak quarterback, proved
their worth last weekend also by
whipping the Devils Lake Satans
13 to 0. 1t was Grafton's game
throughout the contest, according to
general reports.
Moorhead, led by the galloping
Earl Moran, presents an unusually |
strong team this year, having SUBJ
stantial victories over both Devils
Lake and Valley City. Fargo will
have to play its best football to come
out OF that game ahead or with the
score even tied. according to advices
boys, though they lost to Moorhead
and Fargo present the greatest |
fight offered in Fargo each fall.
Breckenridge is given the edge
ever the Wahpeton boys this year
by the majority of fans. The Cow
boys, though they last to Moorhead
last week, have been playing nice
football, while the Wops, consider
ably below the calibre maintained
In other years, have lost a 10 to o /
game to Lidgerwood. Breckenridge,
defeated by the Wahpeton eleven in
a majority of contests over the last
1O-year period, is out for a VEN
geance this year according to their
mentor.
Minor Pushes Wops
Wahpeton had hard time beat
ing Minor last weekend by Is to
O count.
The Williston-Minot game is con-
sidered by many the choice game on
the schedule, though the Coyotes,
coached by the veteran Joe Cutting,
are given big edge in the betting.
Williston came through with rs
to o win over the Mohall Yellow
Jackets last weekend, while the best
Minot could do against the Renville
county gang was s to s. The Ma
Ricians are always able to give the
Coyotes 2 good game, however, and !
Coach Harley Robertson says that
his charges will hold the strong Will ,

weekend.
