PAGE SIX * Four Week-end High School Football Games Find Ri MINOT, COYOTE GAME DRAWING VAST COMMENT Forks Goes to Grafton; Moor- head Spuds Visit at Midget City WOPS MEET COWBOYS ‘Whispering Campaign’ Would Pit Bismarck Against Wil- liston Soon Four North Dakota high school football games this week-end will| find traditional enemies facing each other, another will find Bismarck attempting to keep its slate clean in a, tussle with Jamestown, and five others will not affect the state race. The four =nnual ditional rivals follow: Grand Forks at Grafton; Moorhead at Fargo; Breckenridge at Wahpeton and Wil- liston at Minot. Grand Forks and Grafton, erst- while traditional contenders with Devils Lake for championship hon- ors in the northeastern district when a state champion was recog- nized, are both undefeated this year. Grand Forks showed a wealth of power when it held Fargo to a scoreless tie last week-end. The Forkers, strengthened with the change made when Clinton was shifted from guard to halfback, were on the two-yard line when the first half ended. Neither of the two teams was able to gain much headway althcugh Central threat- ened three times to the Midgets’ once, which came late in the game. Grafton Beats Satans And Grafton, victors in last year’s game, is also showing strength in the state games. The gray-clad warriors, coached by Bub Nelson, former Nodak quarterback, proved their worth last week-end also by whipping the Devils Lake Satans 13 to 0. It was Grafton’s game throughout the contest, according to general reports. Moorhead, led by the galloping games of tra- Earl Moran, presents an unusually strong team this year, having sub- stantial victories over both Devils Lake and Valley City. Fargo will have to play its best football to come out of that game ahead or with the score even tied, according to advices boys, though they lost to Moorhead and Fargo present the greatest fight offered in Fargo each fall. Breckenridge is given the edge over the Wahpeton boys this year by the majority of fans. The Cow- boys, though they last to Moorhead last week, have been playing nice football, while the Wops, consider- ably below the calibre maintained In other years, have lost a 19 to 0 game to Lidgerwood. Breckenridge, defeated by the Wahpeton eleven in ® majority of contests over the last 10-year period, is out for a ven- geance this year according to their mentor. Milnor Pushes Wops .. Wahpeton had a hard time beat- ing Milnor last week-end by a 13 to 0 count. The Williston-Minot game is con- sidered by many the choice game on the schedule, though the Coyotes, coached by the veteran Joe Cutting, are given a big edge in the betting. Williston came through with a 75 to 0 win over the Mohall Yellow- ieexets last week-end, while the best linot could do against the Renville county gang was 5 to 6.

D., Oct. 24.—Egged on by the thought of a victory lost in the closing minutes of play last Saturday, the State College Jack- rabbit squad reported last night for a strenuous week in preparation for the Hobo Day homecoming game with the University Saturday. _ Although there was no real heavy work lagt night, Cy Kasper put his charges through a long drill in which he emphagized pass defense. The men all reported in fine shape con- sidering the hard game last Satur- day. Even Schaefer, who went into the North Dakota game with little practice for ten days, looked to be ready for another battle right away. The superb playing of “Schaef” was the main topic of conversation on the campus and both State and North Dakota fans who saw the game Saturday are predicting all- conference honors for him again if he continues his great playing. The line last night was the same as last Saturday. Jenison, the big 200-pound Ayon boy, played.a. nice game at tackle last Saturday, and ks like a sure starter for Hobo Day. This sizes Kasper the oppor- tunity of playing Adler at guard, the position he held down lest year: Hiner’s passing at center was good and relieves the early season wor- ries about the pivot position. Six men among the regulars’ will be playing their last homecoming game for State Saturday. They are Krug and Eggers, ends; Frandsen, quarterbacks Hiner, center; and haefer dnd Harding, backs. THEY’RE HAD 'TO BEAT Few football teams in the country will be able.to boast of a trio of regular backs as good as Cagle, Murrel and Nave of the Army and Miles, Wittmer and Norman at Princeton, made yet, however, for both teams | JACK M’CANN TO SEE ACTION IN IOWA RING BEFORE LONG; HAS FOUR OFFERS Wheat Belt Heavyweight Champion Is Getting Ready for Winter Campaign in East; Alexander, Mandell, and Hunt Arc Proposed Op-| ponents _ Jack McCann is going to see ac- tion. Plenty of it. Speedy Lane, Des '| Moines promoter and manager of boxers, has written the heavyweight champion of North Dakota who is busy in Bismarck conditioning him- self for a winter’s campaign in eastern rings and other parts of these United States where boxing is one of the king of winter sports, You see, McCann has fought in Towa before. The Bismarck battler earned a hard fought decision over Ralph Alexander of Waterloo some 18 months ago that is still the talk of Cedar Rapids where the corn and wheat belt champs pounded each other from pillar to post. .News that McCann was in the pink and ready for more resin romp- ings percolated out of the Missouri Slope country to Iowa causing more than a flurry of excitement among the tall corn promoters. McCann in the past week has re- ceived no less than four highly at- tractive offers for his services. In Waterloo, Cedar Rapids, Des Moines and Sioux City. In every instance the cager fight sponsor suggested either the names of Kenfeth Hunt, who claims the Iowa championship, or Ralph Alexander, who is also a claimant to the Iowa title. Other proposed matches were with Romero Rojas, crown-holder from Chile; Mike Mandell, the Twin City mauler; Johnnie Risko, the Cleve- land baker boy; and even Jack Sharkey. “Risko and Sharkey are out of the question,” McCann .said today. “Those Rickard-hopes fight in Iowa! That a laugh. The big moguls won’t-let them fight outside of New York, let alone in the bible belt.” “Mandel, Hunt or Alexander are good bets. I’m not the least bit wor- ried about meeting any of one of that trié. It’s my move ‘to let the Promoters due the bidding for my services. I'll talk business after they make me an offer.” And so Jack is quietly and dili- gently going about his work.in Bis- marck while down in Iowa the pro- meters are trying to figure out just how high they will have to go to beat the other fellow to McCann's signature for a bout.

Perhaps you have seen a team leave the field at the half, seemingly demoralized, apparently outclassed. And that team comes back after the rest period imbued with new spirit and turns the tide, Between the halves, much can be done to correct errors and poor play. There must be no guess work and any fault-finding must be warranted. I never gesort to harsh| ketal i! baile the players A rod their best. tdeieeatie A team frequently is disorganized when it enters the dressing room and it is up to the coach to encour- age the players and give them con- fidence and determination, Crowd To Be Avoided When I played football it was cus- tomary to allow any. alumnus of friend of the school, the players or the coaches to gather in the dress- ing room before and between the halves of a game. Sometimes there were thirty or forty in the room, and while that sort of thing was not objectionable to me at the time, I have since changed my opinion, ., When I started coaching, I made ita Point to exclude everyone from the dressing room not officially con- nected with the squad. This is not TRIBUNE TWO WISCONSIN MEN DISMISSED FOR DISCIPLINE | Hines, Though Given Edge Over Northwestern, Pre- pares Closely STAGG FEARS PURDUE Coach Tad Wieman at Mich- igan Has Trouble in Los-) ing Best Punter Chicago, Oct. 24.—(4)—Football jas played in the days before the {forward pass is apt to be seen at {Iowa City Saturday when two {plunging fullbacks lead the Minne- sota Gophers and Iowa Hawkeyes into the leading game of the week in the Big Ten. The ‘ground gaining prowess of Mayes McLain of Iowa and Bronko Nagurski of Minnesota is likely to play a big part in the result of the game. Minnesota fans herald Na- gurski as the greatest fullback ever turned out at Minneay greater, they say, than | ing. McLain, a sensation at Has- kell two years ago, is regarded by Towa followers as the equal of Gor- don Locke. The game will not only be a bat- tle of fullbacks, but of two powerful lines — lines that may stop the plunging tactics of Nagurski and McLain and compel both teams to resort to an overhead game. Coach Spears, realizing this, is working to perfect the Minnesota defense against an aerial game, while at Towa City Burt Ingwersen is de- veloping a passing attack to use in case his line plungers fail. Wisconsin’s hopes of pushing the down-trodden Michigan Wolverines deeper into the cellar of the Big Ten were dimmed yesterday when Gene Rose of Racine, halfback, and Joe Kresky: of Marinette, guard, were dropped from the squad for disciplinary reasons. Both are sen- iors in their third year on the squad and each has won two letters. Rose scored one of the touch- downs against Purdue last .week while Kresky, a reformed backfield man, was one of Coach Thistle- thwaite’s aces inthe line. Coach Tad Weiman also had his troubles at Michigan. John Totzke, the best punter on the squad, went to the hospital with a twisted ankle and probably will be out of the Wis- consin encounter at Ann Arbor Sat- urday. While Coach Stagg of Chicago is reputed to be again stricken with his “fear of Purdue,” Coach Jimmie Phelan is doing some fearing of his own. Yesterday he watched a husky group of freshmen toss sses all over the gridiron for jarge gains against the Purdue varsity. Although Northwestern is not an easy precedent to start. There are many: good friends of the team who feel they ought to be allowed to hear the remarks of the coach and the -players between the halves.

As the time for the game approaches, players feel more and more reliant on the coach. .

I feel for the players because 1 know what tension they are under, and I am pared to. answer any questions that may have. occurred to them since our last practice. I always know what I want to say to the squad before I start talking. The attitude, bearing and voice of the coach are as important as the words he says. The talk to the players should give them courage and confidence. It need not and should not be long drawn-out. The cosch should strive to show his confidence in his ers, confidence that they enough football to win, and that keenness and determination will be. the deciding factor. I try. to point out why the boy should: give his best... I try to in- spire him.
