By postponing the battle one'day it is believed that a large attendance from the twin cities' will be on hand, since good publicity is being given the state title contest by the twin city newspapers. Both teams have won undisputed claims to the title in their respéctive sec- tions and both have piled up top-heavy scores against their opponents, with one or two exceptions. Both teams are in the best of shape for the championship® = y fray-and indications are that the bat- tle will.be one of the best played by any, two high school teams in the state this year, regardless of the fact that the state title is at stake. Bemidji’s record shows the folloy ing gcores: Bemidji 51, East Grar For 0; Bemidji 72, Detroit 0; B ‘midji 49, Thief River Falls 0; B midji 19, Virginia 0; Bemidji Chisholm 3.
