From the high school football train
ing camps in scattered sections Of
North Dakota pre-campaign reports
indicate that mentors generally are
optimistic over their teams possible
ties this fall with prospects ranging
from flair" to very good.
Most of the football schedules call
for opening games Sept. % or "a, al
though some squads will swing into
action week earlier. This leaves
about three weeks for training activi-
ties and development of plays before
the fall campaign is under way.
Squads in the state generally were
getting organized this week with the
opening of schools, but candidates at
a number of the schools have been
limbering up and going through the
fundamentals on the gridirons for a
week or more.
At Bismarck nearly three score can
didateS answered Coach Roy D. Nc
Leods call. He will conduct train
ing period designed to fit the Demons
for warfare against some of the most
powerful prep school elevenS IN the
state.
Line Material Abundant
Material for the line will be abund-
ant, according to Mcleod, while pros
poets for a balanced backfield are
problematical. It is the first time in
half dozen years that Bismarck
starts season with no outstanding
candidate for quarterback. Mcleod
expects much from Captain Schlick-
enmeyer, a fine defensive player who
was all-state center last year and may
be shifted to the quarterback post
this season.
Bismarck Is slated to meet Mandan,
Minot, Williston, Jamestown, Dickin-
son, and Fargo this season, teams
which each year are powerful. De-
spite the fact that a survey late last
fall indicated major outfits in the
state would be hard hit by gradua-
ton, they are expected to be suffi-
GENTLY rejuvenated by newcomers to
again present fighting, aggressive and
tenacious elevens.
Listing seven lettermen and 10 cam
didates with a years football expert
ence, Coach H. A. Mcleod of Car
rington feels his team has exception
ally good prospects for the current
season. Fifty youths answered his
call q week ago and among them were
q number of husky and able frosh.
