D., Oct. 11—Their forces marshaled, freshman gridiron men, | 50 strong at the North Dakota agri- cultural college are putting in a fi- nal hard week of practice prior to| the clash with the University of North Dakota freshmen at Grand Forks Saturday. Although the Aggie yearlings are to appear against their competitors as the first game of a double-header the Bison feel that the contest should be thé second attraction. They feel confident of their ability and they have heard enough about the North Dakota freshmen to know that they too will be formidable. While the North Dakota freshmen have downed the Bison during the past four years, this season may be different. One of the reasons for this is the work of Coach Bob Lowe, a former university star himself, and former coach at Fargo high. Lowe has scouted the freshmen at Grand Forks during the past two Saturdays, and aided by these obser- vations he feels he has enough ma- terial to swing the tide in the favor of the Aggie yearlings, Incidental- ly, he claims one of the outstanding fullbacks in the North Central con- ference in Cy Lonsbrough, regular member of the Michigan freshman team a year ago. Lonsbrough is heavy, fast and powerful, and should be able to go through the university line, which at this time does not look so formidable to the Bison. Other field men who will wear the Bison colors at Grand Forks are am Weetgats Citias’ Ware gn: es n; Walsh, New Richmond, Wis.: Groenke, Aberdeen, 8 Fisher, Hillsboro, and Jaeger, ke ‘ing over the horizon-for the season, {when the usually taciturn ‘Miller Huggins spoke up. “Do you know what licked the Cardin: inqui i enough in itself to produce an im- mediate silen own idea: was the silent leader of the cham- Pions ready to give his: views. “Over-confidence from the ‘fact that th Alexander was whipped in his first start—that's what beat them,” said “Hug.” He elaborated: “They had heard we were a lot of cripples, little short of pushovers.

After a journey from St. Louis that was a long series of hero- a glimpse of the champions and the champion of champions—the Babe— the athletes arrived in New York at 9 o’clock last night to be met with a demonstration that outshone all the rest. A.crowd of about 3,000 cheering fans was on hand when the special train -eached the Grand Cen- tral terminal and the players had to fight their way theugh the mob to the Hotel Biltmore -where Governor Smith was waiting to add his greet- ing. Six sturdy policemen were re- quired to disentangle Ruth from the crowd while such unimportant per- sons as Col. Jacob Ruppert, owner of the team, and Miller Huggins, who guided the Yankees to victory, were swept aside in the rush. Governor Smith, dressing to start on a campaign tour, held his collar and tie in his left hand while he grasped Ruth’s hand with his right. “Congratulations on those hits,” he sai T could count on as many votes as you have kids yelling for you, I’d be sure I’m going to be elected.” Ruth’s barnstorming tour, in which his home run partner, Lou Gehrig, will take part, starts to- morrow in Brooklyn and will take him as far west as Omaha. After to- morrow’s game the Babe will lead one team and Lou will oppose him with another. RABBITS ISSUE HARRIER CALL Brookings, S.

' HARLOW ROTHERT ALL-ROUND STAR '| FOR POP WARNER 1 Palo Alto, California., Oct. 11.— Three-sport athletes are few in these days of specialization, and the col- lege that can boast of one is indeed lucky. Especially when an athlete of that particular school is an out- standing performer in each of three major sports. Stanford has such a performer in Harlow Rothert from Los Angeles. Moreover, he is generally acclaimed as one of the greatest _ all-around athletes ever developed on the Pacific coast. He goes for football, basketball and track, and is a top- notch performer in each. Rothert’s first athletic experience was not so impressive. He had to be content with a substitute full- back job on the freshman eleven. This should be Rothert’s big year. He has'a great year as a sophomore back of him and he should add fur- j there to his athletic fame as a junior, and more as a senior. He is expected to play a back position for Stanford regularly this fall. He subbed for. “Biff” Hoff- man at full last year, but he will either play full or half this f, In basketball he is expected to Dp center or play guard and captain the basketball team, In track he should a well in the javelin and the shot. ou may recall that he went o Amsterdam with the Olympic squad. Rothert is 20 years old and weighs approximately 200 pounds. You probably will hear plenty of him in athletic circles this and next year.

Yost awakens the Wolverine squad. Cee Yost is back, coaching again in his tattered old gray trousers and that battered old hat jammed on his head, and while he says himself that Tad Wieman is in charge of the coaching squad and he is only teaching the punters and passers, it is in that fact that Michigan alumni and students have a hunch Michigan will be able to shake off that defeat by Ohio Wesleyan and make it tough for re- maining opponents. . Indiana, Ohio ° State, Illinois, Navy, Michigan State and Iowa —those are the remaining games on the schedule and if you happen to be acquainted with the strength of these teams you know that each and cvery one is likely to sock Michigan a blow this fall. Indiana, for instance, never has beaten a Michigan team, but has more than an even chance Saturday. Yost and winning teams at Mi gan has been synonymous for so many years that it is rather difficult to think of Michigan doing anything jother. than winning with Yost out ae day after day teaching foot- ball. Michigan has only three veterans of 1927 on hand this fall in Captain Rich, Pommerening and Bovard, and therein lies the story. Around these men have been placed players of little experience, and in spots men of no experience. It seems a lean year, in fact, but you never can tell. Perhaps this is the year to get even with Michigan, as you have heard it’ whispered around for the past few weeks. On the other hand— “Don’t forget that Michigan teams |in past years have beaten teams of | greater physical strength simply on {the morale instilled by Yost in those teams,” remarked a Michigan alum- nus after the Ohio Wesleyan defeat. year—Yost is back. And with Yost out there day after day, working with those Michigan boys, you can’t feel too sure that Michigan will be taken over for a loss in every game. It’s just not in the books for a team guided in the least by Yost to do that, Old Army Game? es 2 @ Coaches at Termessee Claim That Old Army Game Is Now a Misnomer SBT LAST WEEK But Fielding H.
