Found this on the internet, I assume FHS was the old Fargo Central High School. *The UND nickname is funny.
MIDGETS IN THE BISON WORLD
By Norman Berg Jones, '22, Shelbyville, Indiana
My memories of athletes from FHS include those of football stars Claudie Miller and Cy Arnold. One incident I recall quite often is the time Claudie, when playing for the Bison at NDAC (NDSU now), pulled a big play against the Sioux from the University (we called it "Upstate Normal School" in those days).
The University made the opening kickoff directly to Claudie who promptly fumbled the ball and dropped it. When he saw the whole Sioux team converging on him, he quickly picked up the football, veered sharply to his left and outran the whole bunch of would-be tacklers. Yes, sir, Claudie scored the first touchdown of the game!
The memory of that play is crystal clear in my mind, but I can't remember who won the game that beautiful autumn day in Grand Forks. Or was it raining? Perhaps someone can supply the answer to both items.
