Williston Champions Trample Devils Lake 51 to 20

Williston defeated Devils Lake 51 to 20 on the lake grounds last Friday. Williston led throughout as Jaynes left half was injured, McDonald filling in and delivering a 50 yard run. The first three Williston passes went for touchdowns, while Devils Lake used many passes, eight completing for two scores. Williston’s line and backfield improved, though the loss of Jaynes weakened both sides. Officials were Andy Gill, Frazier, and Johnson.
