Bismarck and Mandan hold the
center Of the North Dakota high
school football stage this weekend,
the only strong teams in the state
pitted against each other.
All other strong teams are play
ing weaker opponents, while border
teams are playing teams in other
states.
There is little to choose between
the Demons and Braves as the Bis
marck eleven invades Mandan Sat-
urday. Bismarck will outweigh the
Mandan outfit, but Mandan has al
ways been jinx to the local crew
on the gridiron. Mandan last year
won both games from the capital
city eleven.
Bismarck and Mandan both had
easy wins last week, the Demons
walloping Linton 80 to . and Man
dan coming back from Washburn
with a Al to victory.
The game Saturday is the first of
two games between the two teams
this season. The second game is
set for Bismarck, November 10.
Favored teams came through IN
great style last weekend, Bismarck,
Mandan, Fargs, Williston and Val
ley City winning games by COM
Portable margins. Devils Lake was
upset in a hard-fought game at
Moorhead, the final score being q
to 6 in favor of the SpudS.
Faces of many well-known players
were absent in the high school
games last weekend, among them
being Messy, Fargo fullback last
year. DuChene. plucky Grand Forks
quarterback who later made himself
famous at the national basketball
tournament by qualifying for an all
American position: George Heidi,
classy Mandan half-back; Paul He'd
strom, clever Bismarck end; Griffin,
Devils Lakes rugged fullback: and
Ham Simons, fleet Midget halfback.
Many shining stars are in the
fold again this year, however. Lead
ing the list is the outstanding ath-
lete in North Dakota high school
circles-Frankie Clinton, Grand
Forks lineman. Clinton will be
playing his fourth year with the
Forks outfit this year and has been
one Of the outstanding guards of the
state, despite his small stature.
frankie is captain of both the foot
ball and basketball teams at Grand
Forks this year, and was an all
state basketball man last winter.
Another star rose to heights at
Williston last week in the person of
Carney, fleet and rugged Williston
quarterback, who teased Plentywood
tacklers all afternoon, tearing off
several substantial gains and COM
pleting many passes on both the re-
ceiving and sending end.
And Johnny O'Hare. Bismarck's
youthful fullback, showed that he
was one of the states best backs in
his opening game, by running like
q veteran and showing class in all
departments Of the game.
Fargo, as usual, has few out
standing men, all Of them playing
hard and being well-tutored. Benny
Mellon, quarterback, and Bud
Weible, new fullback, seemed the
most successful ground gamers for
the Midgets, and Enders played q
nice game at end.
Minot seems to have star in
their captain and halfback-Miller.
Miller is one of the biggest backs in
the state and is capable line
crashcr, being a veteran Magic City
performer.
Mcdonald, Mandan Brave back,
promises to scintillate again this
year, making q good start at Wash
burn last week by tearing off several
long gains.
Lidgerwood's performers played a
nice game in beating the Wops 10
to 0, while Wahpeton's high pros
poets failed to materialize in the
first game.
Grand Forks opens it's season Fri
day against Thief River Falls, MINI.
Little is known Of the Forks outfit
this year, but they always develop
into = good team. Fargo should
have m easy time with Casselton.
The Valley City Cakes game should
be q good one. La Moure travels to
Glendale and Fessenden invades
New Rockford in two other Friday
games.
Both Mohall and Minot will be
tested Is the Yellowjackets invade
the Magic City Saturday. It will
Be the first game in the high school
circle for both teams. After trim
ming Plentywood LOG to 9 Saturday,
Williston will attempt to trample
on another Montana eleven when
Wolf Point visits in North Dakota.
Williston is given Z large advantage
on paper, though little is known Of
Wolf Points strength.
Fergus Falls, MIMI, invades the
state Saturday to play the Wahpe-
ton outfit. Wahpeton was crushed
10 TO 0 1t Lidgerwood last weekend.
Hettinger goes to Bowman for its
