Strated that it is a potent high school
organization. OF the major prep
teams in the state, only Fargo. Valley
City and Devils Lake appear 10 be IN
position to dispute with the Capital
City for the mythical championship.
A possibility exists this year that
one high school team, when all is said
and done. will have a reasonable
claim to the state title. although Of
ficially such recognition is no in
order. Should Minot defeat Devils
Lake and Valley City lose to Fargo,
the contest between Fargo and Bis
marck here Nov. 2 could be billed
fairly as a contest for the North Da-

In other years more than one OF
the major teams has gone through
