+ HAS ADVANTAGE IN MANY POINTS Bismarck Will Not Outweigh Fargo Greatly in Spite of Reports PURPLE TEAM. SMART Cass County Outfit, Declared Green, Made Up of Well- Coached Men Bismarck’s football team will meet the test of its strength when it clashes with the Fargo eleven here Saturday. Despite the fact that the Fargo athletic director, Charlie Kimball, says “Bismarck will outweigh us and e considerably more experience,” Bismarck will have to play hard and smart football to whip the Midgets. For the Midgets have improved from what appeared to be weak ma- terial two weeks ago to a great team under the tutelage of Harvey Mayo, new Purple and White coach. Fargo, as is customary, sent out pessimistic cries of “We won't win a@ game this year. Oh, that mate- rial is terrible.” But, as is customary also, nobody believed them. Fargo wasn’t impressive in its first game against Hankinson, the score being 44 to 0. But the Mid. gets were a different team last F day when they pounded Cass ton with a vengeance, piling up a 51 to 0 margin before the timer called a technical knockout. Several stars have crept into the Midget fold in the last week or so. Bud Weible has developed into a classy fullback, tearing off several nice gains last week and hitting the line like a veteran. W. Folendorf, captain and tackle, is again shining on the line and using his big bulk to the best advantage. Enders and Junie Wilson are another pair of stars that are playing great games in their wing positions. Fargo has only two lettermen back this year, but the reserve ma- terial promises to whip into almost Qs great si as the undefeated Midget eleven of last year. In the Bismarck game, Fargo starts its heavy season. Its first two games oe easy. But, fol- lowing the Demon game, Fargo meets in order: Aberdeen, S. Dak.; Grand Forks; Moorhead, Minn.; Sioux Falls, S. Dak.; and Valley City. The Midgets must get intc shape, if they expect to win all of their games, because they have the hardest schedule among the North Dakota teams. r Though Bismarck has a bigger team oo lettermen, the De- wi ly. Kimball states that Fargo rage over 160 pounds. And the Midget eleven is always a smart team. Though nine of the men are reen, they are not new to football. They play football, under the direc- tion of coaches, when they are in junior high school. Fargo is the only city in the, state that has this advantage. Then again—the Far- goans have the advantage of watch- ing teams from the North Central conference and the Minnesota college conference. By these exhibitions, the Fargo youths learn through ex- ample just how the game should be correctly. And they learn a lot of tricks besides. They know how to leave their feet, how to pass, how to block, how to plug holes in the line, and—most important of all —how to use their hands. A team that uses its hands and arms cor- rectly usually is a winning team, critics say, and Fargo always has used hands to advantage. Fargo will enter the game with confidence. Kimball makes no con- cession to Roy McLeod's charges on paper. A letter from him indicate: that he will not decide the relativ “strength of the two teams until they meet on the field 100 yards long | and 50 yards wide and play a full- . time game.

In the impending battle between the Cardinals and the Yankees, however, two frayed and overworked staffs will be pitted against each other, and the big question is whether the rival hurl- ers will be able to match the form they have shown through the regu- lar campaign. 3 Although Miller Huggins says his pitching “will take care of itself,” any edge in the box rests with the Cardinals. Jess Haines had an er- ratic season, but finished with nine straight victories and eight com- plete games. He “figures” as the Cardinal starter, even against a crew of left handed maulers such as the Yankees. Sherdel Is Ready Wee Willie Sherdel lost two tough games to Pennock in the 1926 se- ties, which is one good reason for supposing that he will win this time. if there is any justice in the law of verages, Willie will take the close ones in the forthcoming battle. Old Alex the great is 41 instead of 39, but he is still Alex the great —and many of the Yankees remem- ber it. Another veteran, Clarence Mitchell, the southpaw spittballer, has a mean way of making strong batsmen weep over that dinky curve. He “hasn’t got a thing” but many clubs can’t hit it, particularly the not outweigh . Fargo |}; Giants. Against this array, Miller Hug- gins must hurl an overworked Hoyt, an uncertain Pipgras, a vet- eran Zachary —and no Pennock at The Cardinals will depend upon he above mentioned quartet to start all games, and Huggins will be tempting a fate of which he already is suspicious if he ventures any- body except the “big-three” who helped the ‘hree-time champions stagger under the wire. Hoyt Hes Opportunity The 1928 series presents to Hoyt the greatest opportunity for per- sonal achievement since Matty and Coombs and Adams were in their prime. As good as he is, Hoyt is some ipaguss short of Big Six at his best, but he is young enough and strong. If the Yankees are pulled through, the final check-up doubt- will reveal Master Hoyt in pos- session of three victories and no de- feats—a mark shared only by Mat- ty, Adams, Coombs and Stanley oveleskie. The former Cleveland Pole won. his third victory in a battle which seven-game series—it was the fifth Indian triumph in one of the four five - out - of -nine clashes in world series history. But Matty and Adams and-Coombs earned their xe | Jackie laurels over the seven-game route, Matty and Coombs in seven-game series decided in five. Other pitchers, including Dinneen, Wood and Faber, have won three in more. NEGRO'S VICTOR MAY GET CRACK AT JOE DUNDEE Fields, Los Angeles Puncher, Gives Jack Thomp- son Bad Beating San Francisco, Oct. 2—(7)—A smiling, clean-cut youth of 21, who beat a man who beat a champion, today was the newest ring sensation to rise out of the west. The youth is Jackie Fields, tire- less. puncher from Los Angeles, and the ten-round beating he gave Young Jack Thompson, negro contender for the welterweight title, last night may have placed him in line for. a title bout soon. Fields handed the negro, con- queror of the champion Joe Dundee in a nontitle fight, the worst beating of his career. Thompson has been matched for a title bout with Dundee in New York November 16, but Gig Rooney, Fields’ manager, previously lared he had received a letter New York ing willingness to pit Fields instead of Thompson sraion., ie champion, provided Ids defeated the negro contender. Fields pummeled his dusky op- ponent with a wilting body attack and short lefts and rights to’ the face to win seven rou!

Topping the conference list are the St. Mary's-St. Olaf and Concor- dia-Gustavus Adolphus games which may cause a shakeup in the league’s standings. Macalester plays St. John’s at Collegeville in the third conference tilt. Hamline university’s eleven will tangle with River Falls Normal on the Wisconsin gridiron, the second Minnesota school to play the Badger Peds in as many weeks. St. Thomas entertained them Saturday and had their hands full during the entire game. An altogether different Carleton team_from that which has played the Flickertails at Northfield last year, will be seen in action at Grand Forks, and where the Carls are weaker, at present, the Nodaks are far stronger than in 1927. » The Carls walked away with a 35 to 0 victory in last year’s meeting, largely through the passing of Ar- nie Simso, quarterback, and the running of Cable and Nelson, half- backs. Cable is back this year and is performing in good shape but Simso is on the side lines with an injured elbow that may keep him out of the game. Coach Claude Hunt has been shifting his men about in hope of finding a capable passer and at present no man is certain of start- ing the Nodak game. Cable, Brown, Broberg and Mueller have been per- forming in the backfield, with Sprague, Salvi and Swanson work- ing as understudies. The Oles at Northfield will have their hands full when they meet Coach Skemp’s Redmen, which Sat- urday displayed a fine brand of football aginst Gustavus Adolphus, champions for thé past two years. Skemp, however, found _ several faults and aims to correct these dur- ing the next few days. Endre Anderson, head coach at St. Olaf, also planned a stiff prac- tice program for his team this week following the Augsburg game, and he may make one or two changes in the lineup so as to stop the St. Mary’s team, which is the favorite to cop the bunting. The Concordia-Gustavus game promises to be a repetition of the one last year when the Cobbers nearly spoiled Gustavus’ perfect string of victories by scoring two touchdowns. Frank Cleve has near- ly the same team back while Gus- tavus is without several men- who performed in that game. Vietory for the Cobbers in this contest will mean a high place in the final rating, as they are believed to hold the edge over St. John’s, Augs- burg and St. Olaf, the only three other conference opponents it meets before its final game with Moorhead State Teachers college. = Coach Bill Houle was not overly pleased with t! showing of his St. jJohn’s team against the Pipers in the opening tilt Saturday and with the return of several] men who have been on the inujred list for the past week or more, plans to make a change or two in the lineup for the Macalester tilt. , The Macmen’s hard opening con- test against Concordia found sev- eral of the sophomores showing up ito advantage, and with a week’s training under Coaches Mayer and Anderson should put up better per- formances against the Johnnies. | Return of Rodgers to the Hamline squad will give Coach Mitchell a backfield that is. almost equal to any of the conference. It is expect ed that Bill Lackey will be shifted to the line, thus adding weight and experience to the forward wall. INDIANS, WINGS READY TO BATTLE _ Indianapolis, Oct. .2.—(#) —The little world series contenders—In- dianapolis of the American associ- tional league—took short workouts today at Washington park, where the series, begun in Rochester last week, will be resumed tomorrow. The teams reached here yesterday from Rochester, where the Indianap- olis ‘team won two games, lost one, and tied the fourth. East Southpaw Hurls in 45 Loop Contests NORTH DAKOTA - SENDS 3 STARS TO MINNESTOA North Dakota has sent three freshmen football stars to the Uni- versity of Minnesota this fall who may follow in the steps of their North Dakota predecessors, Arnie Oss, Ollie Aas, Doc Platou, and Freddie Hovde. f They are Gerald Griffin, red- headed fullback from Devils Lake high school; Jimmy Myers, Grafton high school quarter and halfback; and Ralph Platou, Fargo high school end and a brother of the famed Doc Platou. The elder Platou was cap- tain of Minnesota’s conference championship basketball team and track star a decade ago. The three North Dakota lads, all of whom have reported for football, are placed among the prominent contender for positions on the em- bryo eleven by the Gopher coaches. Griffin, besides being a good back and defensive man on the gridiorn, is a good basketball guard and a specialist with the shot put. He was the whole Devils Lake football team in 1927, until he got a bad kick on the head when the Satans met Grand Forks. Jimmy Myers, lanky blond from the Walsh county city, is also a good basketball player. He was a mem- ber of the Grafton gray-clad grid team for three years. Platou specializes in football, being a former member of the Mid- get football elevens. GOPHER PREPS WELL MATCHED More Than a Score of Un- defeated Teams Will Try to _ Keep Slate Clean St. Paul, Oct. 2—(AP)—A score or more undefeated state high school football elevens are due to meet de- feat in this week's schedule when they meet in elimination tilts in eyery section of the state. i Championships are not sanctioned in football by the state high school athletic association, but the teams always strive to win a ‘place among those that are not defeated during the schedule. 5 Last year 22 schools won or tied all their games, including Albert Lea, Buffalo, Cambridge, Clarkfield, Crosby-Ironton, Deer River, Dil- worth, Duluth Denfeld, Fairmont, Glencoe, Glenwood, Hayfield, -Ken- yon, Minneapolis Central, Minne- apolis North, Moorhead, Nashwauk, New Prague, St. Cloud, Tracy, White Bear and Winona. Of this group four were defeated in their first starts last week— Buffalo, Dilworth, Duluth : Denfeld and Winona, and the others are still trying to make it two seasons without defeat. Many other strong teams have appeared, however, and promige to. replace some on this year’s list of undefeated teams. Red Wing Strong Red Wing appears to be in pros- pect for a winning season and plays Stillwater at home Friday in’ its third. Hutchinson’s high scoring machine is to clash witth St. Peter while Glencoe hopes to continue its string of victories against Hector. Little Falls meets an old rival when it plays at Brainerd and hopes to make up for the 31 to 6 defeat of chance to down the Renville eleven, while Melrose should count another triumph over Foley. Pelican Rap- ids has a 25 to 0 defeat to even when it-meets Perham. A big game is scheduled at Ben- son' where the Montevideo team plays. Last year the latter eleven won 6.to 2, Granite Falls has Oli as ° opposition. Parkers Prairie is expected to give Wadena a hard game but the latter is given the edge. Sauk Rapids and Holding- ford are paired in another tough en- counter. Among the big’ ganies Saturday in the northern section is the clash 3s lost ground when Mahnomen, Breckenridge will meet Hillsboro,.N. D., there. Deer River meets Floodwood in a return game ation and Rochester of the Interna- | ™ and will attempt to make it two straight. ‘5 as Coach Robbins’ eleven at Bemidji will grapple with the Park Rapids team, and Keewatin will go to Grand Rapids. ‘Chisholm and Coleraine have their annualftilt scheduled for Saturday, and Virginia hopes to again defeat the strong Gilbert team.

Moreover, Grove’s achievement has been surpassed by but one left- hander _in modern major league play. Rube Marquard, .while pitch- ing for the Giants in 1912, copped his first 19 starts, the outstandiny performance of big-time competi- tion. Oddly enough, the National and American league high marks all were established the same year, Johnson and Wood, like Marquard, coming through with their 16 in a row in 1912. Outside of Marquard and Grove, the two. best southpaw winnin streaks I recall were those turne in by Joe Boehling of Washington in 1911 and Harry Krause of the Athletics in 1909, Boehling copped 11 in succession, while Krause grabbed 10. Strangely, too, each chalked up his string in his debut year in the majors. Krause, in fact, was a sensation, winning the first 10 games in which he was on the mound for the Macks. Quite a few hurlers have won 12 or more games in a row but, except for Marquard and Grove, all have been right-handers. Dazzy Vance, for instance, took 15 straight while twirling for the Dodgers in 1924; Jack: Chesbro copped 14 with the old New York Highlanders in 1904; Johnson won 14 in 1913; Chief Bender annexed’ the same. number with the Athletics in 1914; and Ed Reulbach had 14 with the Cubs in 909, In 1924 Johnson won 13 straight, as did Stanley “Coveleskie for the same Washington club in 1925. Chesbro with the Pirates in 1902 grabbed 12 in a row. These are the outstanding winning streaks of mod- ern major league competition, Thus, going back more. than quarter of a century, 12 times have big league ‘hurlers won’ 12 or more were American: leaguers, Johnson with three and Chesbro with two rank as the only ones to enjoy more than one big wirining streal Getting back to Grove, it can be said without fear of contradiction that much of Lefty’s svicce:s during the last two seasons has been due to. his acquiring ‘control. When Grove came to thte American league in 1925 he was.one-of the wildest pitchers in the circuit. He passed 131. batters in 45 games that year. Last. season’ he walked but 75 in 51, less than two to the fracas. This campajgn his control also has been And when Grove can put the ball where he wants to he’s a hard fellow to beat. Control has done:much to keep such chaps as Aletander at 41 and Quinn at 43 in the majors long after their arms lost much of the old effectiveness. And control, or at least a marked improvement in get- ting the ball over the plate, has played no little part in Grove’s two successful campaigns in 1927 and games in successione Of these, eight | ¢, - _ TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1928 SPEARS WILL PRODUCE ANOTHER BONE CRUSHING MAROON AND GOLD MACHINE jagurski Is Filling Place Left Vacant by Joesting on Min- nesota’s 1927 Eleven; Hoyde and Pharmer,’ Passing Com: bination, to Play Halves Chicago, Oct. 2.—(P) bone-crushing machine which will gather devastating momentum the season advances is Minnesota’ threat to its Big Ten gridiron riv: this fall. Gone are several of iast yea stars, among them Herb Joestit the pile-driving fullback who romped through, over, and around the oppo- sition to make Minnesota one of the nation’s most powerful elevens, but -|into their moleskins have stepped a new crop of ball luggers and line- men who promise to write another saga in football achievement for the Maroon and Old Gold. Coach “Doc” Spears, at times glum as Bob Zuppke of Illinois, met with several setbacks so far tl season, the principal one being ineli- gibility of Harold Barnhardt, the chunky little half, who was one of the best blocking backs in the middle west in 1926 and 1927. At Joesting’s post one of the best possibilities in years has sprung up —a brawny youth from the north woods, Bronko Nagurski, a convert- ed tackle, who has been the sens: tion of the Gopher training camp. The “Big Nag” is fast, and to date Coach Spears. has unablo to throw up a line big and fast enough to stop. his rus! Another good fullback possibility is a sophomore, Ed Westphal of Little Falls, who has 206 pounds of power and speed. In Fred Hovde, understudy to Quarterback “Shorty” Almquist last year, S| has a capable pivot man, but planning to use him as a signal-calling half to act as running mate to Art Pharmer, a vet- eran. Hovde and Pharmer have formed a reversible passing com- bination that has worked many suc- cessful aerial gains in practice. Sev- eral likely candidates are out for quarterback. : Unlike most conference teams, the Gophers anvear to have a strong line, although reserve strength is pasting: Coach Spears. Tanner and yeraft, who developed rapidly to- ward the end of the 1927 campaign, are back at the wings, while Captain George Gibson has one guard po- sition cinched. ‘Gibson may be’ out of the e ‘for two: weeks, how- ever, as ‘ractured a small bone in his left hand.

Wayne kela, a fast,’ shifty youth, looks best at center. Coach Spears’ biggest work is that his men will be slow to round into form. The Gophers open theit season Saturday against Creighton, after which they clash with six con- ference. opponents ‘and the Haskell Indians on_ successive week-ends, They meet Purdue, Chicago and In- diana at home, and Iowa, Northwest- ern_and Wisconsin on foreign fields.
