Fate may yet cast John Randall,
Mandan high school middle distance
runner, in q strange role in the state
track and field meet at Grand Forks
this weekend.
There seems but little question that
Bismarck and Fargo will battle 1t out
for first place in the May conference
affair. Victories in the $50 yard dash
and the mile run this weekend might
give Fargo the points needed to win
over the state champion Demons.
That's where Randall may come In.
The Mandan Brave may win n or
both races in the state meet to de-
prive the Midgets Of much needed
markers. Randall consistently has
made better time than the two Far
goans-Loberg in the $50 yard dash
and Still in the mile. Should Randall
win in one or both he also would re-
iuce Bismarck chances to score in the
events, but the Demons r not ex-
oecting first honors in either.
II Demnos May Perform
Weather permitting, Athletic d.
rector Roy d. Mcleod will have IA
Bismarck athletes In Grand Forks to
f. lend into the meet. Those entered are
John O'Hare and Ted Meinhover,
shot put, discus, and javelin: John
spriggs. broad Jump and javelin:
Wallace Green, 40 yard dash and
possibly 220 yard dash: Wade Green,
$50 yard dash and possibly 40; Cap
ain Harold TAFT, $40 and high jump;
Gilbert Benzon, 100 yard dash and
40; Leo Benser, $50 and mile: Lester
oohn, go yard low hurdles and
road Jump: Walfred Hultberg, 40
ard high hurdles: Frank Potter, go
ard low hurdles and broad jump;
lloyd Murphy, pole vault and pos

lttion.
Having disappointed both himself
nd Demon fans last weekend by
ailing to qualify in the javelin be-
ause he stepped rel the line, Ted
deinhover may qualify In this event
t the state meet and thereby place
limself In q favorable position to
core more points than he did at Far
o.. He is regarded as q cinch to
reak the state record Of 125 feet in
he discus throw. the giant already
.aving thrown the plate over 1873 feet
his season. O'Hare looks good for
econd in this event. II Ted can toss
he javelin 161 feet as he did here
NO weeks ago, he should win first.
I appears, however, that in this year
( great shot putters, Meinhover and
fHare will have to be content with
.cond and third places in the event
Mess they add distance to their
caves. It appears that Earl Shan
on, Valley City, win best them in
lis event. Because Of his consist
acy. O'Hare should place in all
lree OF the weight events, and
briggs, who has thrown the spear
yer 143 feet, also may take a place.
Lillibridge, last years winner. and
wanson, two Mandan murders, may
sep the Fargoans from taking three
laces In the 100 yard high hurdles
5 they did In the Fargo affair. This,
course, would make Hultberg
ratnble to place for Bismarck.
Mcclure Vault Threat
A threat in the pole vault is Mike
.cGuire. Washbur7,, but 1t was not
.finite yesterday that he would par
cipate. He is capable Of clearing
le bar at II feet or better quite con-
silently. This would make both Bis
erck and Fargo suffer, each having
yaced two men at Fargo last week
lould Mcclure enter and win the
'ent.
There is little question but that

I'd the Demons should retain their
