ROBERTS SAYS LOCAL WELTER BEATS KRAUSE Lee Is Coming to the Fore in North Dakota Boxing Cir- ces Rapidly EXPECTS MANY FIGHTS Big..Card Is Being Planned for Lake Williams Sport Day, Sept. 21 Lee Cavanagh, Bismarck welter- ‘weight who is rapidly coming to the fore in North Dakota boxing circles as a result of his latest two fights with Tiger Johnny Compton, Minot, and Battling Krause, Hazen, will meet an unknown quantity of fight- ing ability in a 10-round headliner at Lake Williams Friday night, Sept. 21, when he clashes with A. J. Watson, Dawson. Cavanagh will enter the ring at a disadvantage, weighing only 145 pounds while his opponent will tip the beams at 153. Watson, pride of Kidder county, is undefeated after several bouts, according to a poster released by promoters. Concerning the Cavanagh-Krause fight at Wildwood Lake Labor Day, ©. W. Roberts, referee, issued the following statement in Bismarck to- day: “I advised newspaper men after the fight that the fight was a draw because North Dakota laws prohibit giving decisions in fights unless there is a knockout, although on points Cavanagh was the winner. Krause could have lost the fight in the second round, when Cavanagh slipped to the floor and Krause struck him while both hands were on the floor. As Cavanagh stated he ‘was not hurt the bout was allowed to continue. Cavanagh carried the fight to Krause throughout, meeting ause in Krause’s corner at the be- ining of_every round. A bell is all that saved Krause T had already counted four when the bell rang. Cavanagh overlooked a chance to kayo his opponent at th ing of the eighth as Krause plainly hurt. Cavanagh left the ring ‘without a mark. Practically the only blows he received during the fight were left swings, which Cavanagh . nicely slip “Krause was badly battered about the eyes, and was bleeding from both the nose and mouth during the last five rounds. Krause surprised rose dag including himself, with his excellent condition. His gameness never been questioned. Cav- ~ anagh clearly outboxed Krause, but no decision could be given because of | the law. While newspaper decisions ; are allowed, the sentiments of the # reporters are not always the same, | consequently reports seldom agree, > as in the fight in question.” ‘ Cavanagh has several fights in view in this district in the near fu- ; ac “cai to his besiege i r fights on the Lake. 5 card follow: i ) Bobby Harding, Lake Williams, a i vs. Phil Keating, Pettibone, at 135 Pounds, six rou: Mutt vs. Jeff, five rounds.

Marrison Watches Aggies Morrison reasons that only the closest strategy will bring his team through that game a victor, the Aggie squad will have advantage of about two weeks practice. Although in the past the Valley City outfit has taken an almost annual drubbing from the Aggies, Morrison believes his team has a better chance this year than for several previous sea- sons. The 1928 schedules for the schools are complete, for the most part. One game is left unscheduled at the State School of Science at Wahpe- ton, and one or two more games may be charted by the state teachers col- lege at Minot. home games, two in Minne- sota and one each at Fargo and Mi- not, have been scheduled by the Val- City State Teachers; Starting in with their toughest competition— North Dakota Aggies at Far; Sept. 29, the Valley City outfit will step into Minnesota to play. the Moorhead teachers Oct. 6, and then return home for two games, with the Oct. next game schodu!

Playing the first two games on the home grounds with Frederick. 8. D., September 21 and La Moure Septem- ber 28, they will journey to Ashley on October 5 and on the following Saturday play the Edgeley team at Edgeley. Their schedule for the rest of the season is Ashley at Ellendale, October 19; Oakes at Oakes October 26; Barnard, S. D., at Ellendale, No- vember 2, and Lidgerwood at Lid- gerwood November 12. Five games have been scheduled by. the State Teachers College of Mi- not for'the 1928 season. The season will mark the second year of football lay at that institution. z Of the five games scheduled, three and Babe Ruth Have Broken Detroit String BY BILLY EVANS Ths year’s batting crown in the American League appears to rest between Goose Goslin of the Sena- tors and the man, at this time likely to be one of several, who can beat him out. Either Lou Gehrig of the Yankees, Heinie Manush of the Browns or Al Simmons of the Ath- _ Lee Cavanagh Meets Unknown Quantity in Watson at Lake Williams - see letics may be that man. But these four stars of four dif- ferent clubs seem far enough ahead of other clubbers to ward off any late spurts and it is fairly safe to say that one of them will win the batting crown this year. Goslin seems the man to beat. He has been high in the average all the year and he seems bent on continu- ing his healthy hitting. As Septem- ber opened, Gehrig was right on his heels and Manush was not so far away. Simmons trailed them. + Detroit Is Out One thing is certain, though. That is, the 1928 title will not go to a De- troit player. Down through the years the Tigers have had quite a monopoly on the hitting honors. In fact, only four times since Ty Cobb first flashed to the top back in 1907 has the toga been won by a player not wearing a Tiger uniform. Tris Speaker, George Sisler and Babe Ruth have been the ones to break the rather monotonous Detroit regime. Speaker came through in 1916; Sisler in 1920 and 1922 and Ruth in 1924. From 1907 to 1915 Cobb showed the way; in 1917-18 and 1919 he re- turned to the purple heights; in 1921-23-25 and 1927 Harry Heilmann squatted atop the throne with Heinie Manush making the grade in 1926. Thus, across a 21-season span troit has produced 17 batting cham- pions, a record without equal in ma- jor_league circles. i While the Detroit successes have, for:the most part, been fairly easy ones, I do recall a pair of exceeding- ly tight races. One came up in 1910. Cobb and Larry Lajoie, who was playing for Cleveland at the time, reached the next to last day of the campaign neck and neck. Their battle for the title caused unusual attention and more so. be- cause the Hugh Chalmers auto trophy was to go to the winner as an added prize. On the final day of the season the Cleveland team was playing a double-header with the Browns. Cobb still ¢lung tenacious- of them are on the home grounds. The first will be played at mayville October 13, with the Teachers col- lege. The following three games, with the Dickinson Teachers College October 19; Valley City Teachers College October 27, and Ellendale Normal School November 3 will be played on the home grounds. They will complete their season November ha &e, and Ti with the Minot the Nov. 3 game at Fergus 10 at Jamestown, playing the college eleven. STRIB WHALES {ST OPPONENT’: (Young) Stribling, of Georgia, has taken the first step on the long trail that leads to the now vacant hea’ weight throne, and overcome a jinx to do it. It wasn’t a very big step but it was something. The southerner made his New York debut as a heavyweight at Madison Square Gar- den last night by beating Johnny Squires of ‘South Africa, into tech- nical knockout defeat in less than two rounds of fighting. The significance is not.that Strib- ling won but that he won in New York. In his days as a light heavy- weight, Stribling a special genius for appearing at his worst in metropolitan A ow ‘He lost both of the major bouts he has had here pre- viously, bowing to Paul Berlenbach, ‘ommy Loughran. Last night he gave his critics no time to get into action.

Just a Spectator Big Bill Tilden of Tennis Fame Is Spectator Following Variation in Interpretation of Rules Book by Coaches and Players in Different Sec- tions of Country and State Always Brings Arguments Because football players and coaches in different sections of the country or individual states invari- ably interpret various football rules in different ways, giving rise to dis- utes, the American intercollegiate football rules committee has recently released ‘a printed interpretation of 13 rules which might be interpreted in more than one way. Members of the committee follow: W. W. Roper, middle Atlantic states; H. J. Stegeman, southeastern; A. A. ‘Stagg, middle western; D. X. Bible, thwestern; H. W. Hughes, moun- G.M. Varnell, Pacific coast; . S. Le gford,. member-at-large, secretary; and E. K. Hall, member- at-large, chairman. ‘ Here are some of their interpre- tations of 1928 rules: : The restraining line for the side which kicks off is the 400-yard line, unless there has been a penalty, as this is the most forward point which the ball is kicked. On a free FOOTBALL RULES GROUP PUBLISHES INTERPRETATION OF THIRTEEN RULES which an opponent bats across the offensive team’s goal line. It is a safety, no matter whether the op- Ponent bats it or not, because the original impetus comes from the team havi ssion. If the ball rolls outside In the end zone it is a touchdown. Player Is Ineligible A player who has stepped out of bounds is ineligible for play until an_ opponent has’ touched the ball. If a player runs over the end line, repuralog into oe. end zone oe cei & pass, pass incomple' because the receiver is ineligible. If a tea making a ‘free kick of 10 yards or more the ball must be kicked again, On any free kick the ball is not in play unless it is kicked to or across the line which restrained the team which did not kick it. A team has just made its 10 yards on a third down and after the ball is declared dead a member of the of- fensive team violates a rule at the point of the ball. The violation ‘is considered a part of the play and it is still third down, but the team has the 15- penalty to make. PEPE 9S AS kick after a itch the restrain- ing line for the kicking side is a line through the point of the catch. These two are often confused. : An end who moves a step or two out on the line of scrimm: must not be stationary for a complete gec- ond before the ball is snapped, but he must be stationary when the ball is snapped. ‘In case of doubt about his motion at the time the ball is put in play his team must be penal- ized. _, Stop After Shift A team has shifted and has come to a stop far. one. second and an ent changes his position on the line and stops for less than a second before a wing-back pivots and comes in to tackle.

Even the republicans in North Da- kota admit, however, that Smith will make a better showing than any democratic candidate since Wilscn carried the state in 1916.

There is another phase, the import- ance of which cannot be measured accurately, but which has been pointed to by anti-Hoover forces— that is the attitude of many farm- ers toward Hoover for some of the wartime activities affecting agri- culture which they lay to him. It ig this consideration that has had a part in prompting some to adopt an anti-Hoover viewpoint, while not necessarily throwing sup- rt to Smith.
