the season before Capital City grid
iron fans when the Bismarck Demons
take on the Linton Lions at Hughes
Field tonight at 8 o'clock in the sea-
sons opener.
The Demons. who are starting their
fall campaign q week later than most
teams in the state, will enter the con-
test as overwhelming favorites.
The Linton squad, composed almost
entirely Of green material. was taken
into camp by Mandan last week by
the one-sided score Of Is to O.
Misfortune In the form Of injuries
has struck at the Demon camp this
week. Norman Agre, who has been
showing up we'll as backfield con-
tender, sustained an injury to his
shoulder ligaments Wednesday that
will keep him out Of the game for
several weeks. Lloyd Murphy, regard
ed as one Of the mainstays Of the
line, hurt his back this week and will
be kept out Of the game tonight.
With the exception Of Schlicken-
meyer at center. the Bismarck for
ward wall will go into action as an
unknown quantity. Coach Roy Nc
Leod said Friday that the line showed
plenty Of potential power but what
it will do under fire was matter for
conjecture.
