PAGE TEN Demons Down Blueja JACOBSON STAR AS DEMONS WIN BASY TRIUMPH Jamestown Threatens to Score in Closing Minutes After Drive HOFFMAN LEADS LINES McLeod Clan Counts Quartet of Touchdowns on Rushing Aided by Passes Scoring one touchdown in each quarter, Bismarck crushed James- town here Satur: The score was 26 to 0. me Opening its atack from the initial kickoff, Bismarck, scored without losing the ball. The Demon backs ploughed bina i the visitors line steadily. Jacobson went over for the first marker, hittin ht | 6 tackle for four yards, He faineae to; kick goal. Tt was much the same in the sec~ ond quarter, Bismarck contenting it- self with hammering the James- town line. The invaders gave ground slowly and fought for every inch but could not withstand the continuous pounding of the heavy Demon forward wall. Taking the ball on it s35-yard line, Bismarck sinashed the line con- sistently for good gains and two forward passes, Jacobson to Spriggs, and Jacobson to Meinhover were od for a total of 22 yards. With the ball on the seven-yard line, Jacobson hit right t ackle for five and Spriggs hit left guard for the score. A pass, Jacobson to O'Hare, was g ood for the extra point. Jimmie Surprise Jamestown unleashed a last- minute drive just before the game ended. Taking the ball on their 2h-yard line t hey surprised them- selves by hitting the Demon for- ward wall successfully. Line plunges, with Withnell doing most of the ball toting, interspersed with hree forward passes, brought the bal to Bismarck’s six-yard line. Here Bismarck’s defense stiffened and two forward passes in sueces- sion were incomplete, Jamestown taking a five-yard penalty. A_for- ward pass over the goal line. With- nell to Nolte, just failed to con- nect. On the next play, Bismarck was alized five yards for offside but lacobson kicked from behind his own goal line to the 22-yard line as the game ended. Jamestown: showed flashes of a nice running attack at various times during the ie and its forward passes were ‘ly successful in the middle of the field. Excapt in the last-minute drive, however, the Blue- jays failed to demonstrate a punch which -could be expected to score against a line as strong as Bis- marck’s, Runs 29 Yards The second touchdown came aeneiy. after Bismarck had taken the ball on its 35-yard line. After picking up three first downs on line plays. Ji mn, aided by beautiful interference, crashed through right guard for the longest run of the game, a eprint of 29 yards which placed the ball on Jamestown’s two- yard line. Landers slid off left tackle for the marker. A pass, on to Meinhover, for the extra point was incomplete. Jamestown braced in the second half and showed some real footbal but Bismarck scored with the ai of-a long forward pass, Jacobson to Meinhover, which was good for 48 yards, the longest gain of the game. leinhover juggled the ball but re- covered and was downed on the 26- yard line. Line plays picked up a first down on Jamestown’s 12-yard line and Spriggs then circled left end for the marker. Jacobson kicked goal. O'Hare Plays Little Bismarck played without the serv- ices of O'Hare during much of the game. With Bismarck in position to score in the last quarter he was sent | in for a fe wminutes, but was pulled out as soon as the touchdown was made. Green and Potter alternated at fullback in his place.

After spending some 10 days in Bismarck ambling over hill and dale in the morning and shadow boxing and rope skipping in the afternoon to keep in A-1 shape, he set out for the Twin Cities to find some spar- ting partners. “Bismarck is a great training spot as far as the weather is con- cerned,” Jack wrote The Tribune Sports Editor, “but when’ it comes to the finer pone of training for a winter's work in eastern rings, you "t find sparring partners.” 1 am working here in the Twin Cities with the best that the north- Weat has to offer in the way of punching bags, both leather and hu- man. T still intend to fight once or twice before reporting to Leo P. Flynn, my manager in New York, but as yet I do not have any bouts in sight.” “see Mike Mandell and Ralph Alexander gave the fans their money's worth down in-Iowa the other night. Mandell won a close decision. I can take both of them,” the everconfident Jack said. There is no doubt that Jack would like to meet Mandell. The Minne- apolis giant has long claimed the northwest heavyweight honors and has on more than one occasion said that McCann wasn’t tough enough. The latter statement has made McCann “see red.” Jack points out that he has fought for “Tex” Rickard in Madison Square Garden while Mandell has never been cast. of Chicago. “Put me in the same rin; that bag of wind and the can sell him the next da: remarked. Some of the Bismarck “boys about town” are urging some big-hearted promoter to put McCann and Man- dell in a Bismarck ring. i The promoters are fighting shy of any such undertaking, however. “Who can blame them?” one of the venturesome fans said today. “Three shows here in the last three months and all of them have been ‘busts’ as far as gate receipts are concerned.” Tt appears to local observers as though McCann if he is going to a ‘is wish will have to interest like Collins at Minneapolis, Jerk Doran in St, Paul, or Jack Hurley ‘up at Duluth, for North Dakota is ring-quiet.

LAST QUARTER ATTEMPT GIVES WILLISTON WIN Minot Leads Until Final Ses- sion; Vandersluice and Mil- ler Star (Special to The Tribune) Minot, N. D., Oct. 29.—Stepping out in the last quarter with the score tied, the fighting Williston. squad brought the pigskin across Minot’s goal line to win by a 20 to 13 score here Saturday. Both teams were strong on the of- fensive play but inclined to be weak on the defensive. Clever work on the part of caputains blasted holes in the lines of both teams. The first score of the game was brought in by Wegley of the Wil- liston squad in the first quarter. It was followed in a few minutes by one made by Parley, also of Williston’s outfit. The other counter was hung up near the close of the game. Mi- not ran in their two counters in the second session. Piper, fleet Minot star, took the ball from Vandersluise on a 25-yard pass and scored after the Williston outfit was penalized five yards. The remainder of the play, after the long throw,. was made by a series of pai iston made 14 first downs to Minot’s 13. Williston completed five out of nine forward passes, and the Minot squad completed six out of 13. Vandersluise and Miller starred for Minot, and Oarmey was the big gun for the Williston squad.

The Ti- gers had driven the ball to the nine- yard line but did not have the of- fense to advance it farther by rush- ing. Both teams showed lack of consistent ground gaining ability.

Lakers were given two other chances to score in the first quarter, but fumbled on Harvey’s 5 yard line both times, big, experienced team but could not penetrate the Lakers’ line against the perfected defense made Coach Lawrence Burnett, former N.

Dictaphone Used in Picking Grid Flaws Chicago, Oct. 29.—(4¥—Dick Han- ley, Northwestern football coach, takes no chances of forgetting good or bad work of his team, While most coaches take notes or rely on their memory for their regu lar Monday post-mortem, Han! rd carries an assistant coach along witi his team who knows how to use a dictaphone. The machine takes a running account of the £5, just what play was called and how it was executed. Later a_ stenographer transcribes the details and a black and white record of faults and suc- cesses is on hand for Hanley’s use. “You say you can’t recall what happened when Illinois scored that touchdown?” he barks at his men. “Why, just listen to this.” Then he reads and rereads the sad details. ‘RED’ CAGLE IS STAR AS ARMY BEATS ELI 18-6 Brilliant. Soldier Backs Dashes 52 and 73 Yards for Touch- downs - Yale Bowl, New. Haven, Conn., Oct. 29.—(AP)—The Army's big gun, Red Cagle, brought down Yale almost single handed Saturday.

D., Oct. 29.—Count- ing twice on plays in which alert football was played, Moorhead State Teachers college gridders Saturday noon vanquished the Jamestown col- lege eleven 12 to 6, in an Inter-state college conference contest. Edwards counted the first touch- | down for the Peds when he took one of Purdy’s low punts and carried it in a pretty 50 yard dash along the sidelines for a touchdown. Ralph (Shifty) Smith, Ped center, took advantage of a bad pass gotten off by the Jimmy pivot man and scooped up the oval to make a 50 yard scramble for a counter. Both attempts for point went wide of their mark. Recovering a fumble on the Ped 30 yard line, the Jimmies squeezed out their lone counter in a sustained march to the goal with a plunge for the extra point failing. Long paves a fine defensive game for the losers while Pudry’s kicking in the face of a strong wind was excellent. Hi-Liners Defeat Lisbon High Team Lisbon, N. D., Oct. 29.—In a game marked by numerous penalties, Val- ley City's high school warriors de- feated the Lisbon high squad here Saturday by a score of 19 to 0. The work of two Valley backs, Metcalf and Jaret, was outstanding, while Lisbon had no outstanding player. Valley City scored once in the first half and twice in the second, point after touchdown being made only once. Their goal was in no great danger from Lisbon at any time.

TRIBUNE SOUTHERN AND BIG TEN CLUBS MIX IN MELEES Michigan, Though Defeated Three Times, Plans to De- feat Mini TIGERS PLAY OHIO Towa, Victors Over Huge Min- nesota Eleven, Rests This Week-end Chicago, Oct. 29.—()—An inter- sectional atmosphere will pervade the Big Ten Saturday when the un- timed Princeton Tiger invades Ohio State, Alabama’s Crimson tide at- ticks Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania tacklés Chicago. All the conference championship tinge of the day will center at Ann Arbor, where Michi- gan will fight to halt the champion- ship tread of Bob Zupke’s Mini. Although out of championship running with three straight confer- ence defeats, Michigan’s gridiron machine showed such impressive power in holding Wisconsin to a 7 to 0 victory Saturday that it ap- roe as a real menace to Illinois. he Illini were so unimpressive in their 6 to 0 victory over Northwest- ern that Coach Tad Wieman and Wolverines believe they have a great chance to provide football's biggest upset of the year. a_ national championship viewpoint, however, the Princeton- Ohio State battle attracts the great- est attention. Neither has been de- feated this season, and more than 70,000 are expected to watch the duel at Columbus. Ohio State whipped Indiana 13 to 0 Saturday, displayin, the best-balanced Buckeye attack in three years. The victory carried Ohio to the top of the Big Ten stand- ings, as it is the only team to play and win three conference games, al- though Iowa and Illinois have a per- fect percentage with two triumphs apiece. Coach Burt Ingwersen’s ponderous Towa Hawkeyes, who subdued Min- nesota’s Bonecrushers 7 to 6 in thriller Saturday at Iowa City, w rest up, with prol tackling South Da’ Minnesota will invade Northwest- ern. The Gophers are out of the championship running, but threaten ture opponents. Purdue, which lambasted Chicago 40 to 0 Saturday, the worst licking joach Stagg’s men have received in more than a decade, will meet an- other nonconference team, Casi Lafayette. Indiana will have a day off. Alabama has lost one game this season, but is a ranking team of the Dixie terrain and promises to, give TS plenty of fight. The Badgers’ chief fault seems to be a disorganized of- fensive when they get within their opponents’ 10-yard line. Nothing but another defeat seems in prospect for Chicago when it tangles with Pennsylvania. Penn was defeated by the Navy 6 to 0 Sat urday in a stfinning upset, and is in a vindictive mood. It appears as = Stagg and his men will suffer ‘or it. BISON IS READY FOR HARD GAME Fargo, N. D., Oct. 29.—With the nerve-racking Bison-Nodak grid contest out of the way, Coach St ley Borleske’s North Dakota Agri- cultural college footballers will re- tarn to cool and calculating football for their game with Jim Saunder- son's Morningside Maroons at Sioux City next Saturday. This will be the Bison’s second conference start. Judging from past contests with the Maroons, the Bison have a pen- chant for one touchdown wins. In 1924, the yellow and green gridders ruined a Morningside homecoming to the tune of 9-3, while 1925 saw the Bison defeat Saunderson’s pro- teges by 14-7 on Dacotah field. The teams have not met during the past two seasons.

IOWA SUB RUN BEATS GOPHERS} Fred Hovde’s 91-Yard Jaunt All for Naught as Hawks Come Back Towa Field, Iowa City, Oct. 29.— ()—Iowa defeated Minnesota 7 to 6 before a frenzied crowd of 30,000 homecoming spectators Saturday. After three scoreless periods Min- neseta crashed over with a touch- down early in the fourth, with Iowa counting a few seconds later. Hovde, the Minnesota backfield star, up a punt on his nine-yard line raced 91 yards for a touchdown. Brockmeyer, however, failed to kick the goal, and on the first play after the Texort Pape, substitute sopho- more halfback, squigmed away from the Minnesota team and raced 62 yards for the tying score. Nelson’s drop kick decided the issue. Tt was lowa’s first victory over Minnesota since 1924, and it was the first time that the Hawkeyes had counted on Minnesota in three PURDUE BEATS MONDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1928 Advance in Title Scramble re Will Pervade Gridiron Show Saturday SLASHING, BATTERING NORTH DAKOTA TEAM CRUSHES BISON ELEVEN, 18 T0 6 Boyd, Kahl, and Schave Gallop All Over Field After Being Held Scoreless During the First Half; Punting of May Saves Bison Humiliation Fargo, N. D., Oct. 29.—A powerful North Dakota _universi football team slashed and battered its way to an 18 to 0 triumph over the North Dakota Agricultural college Bison before some 6,500 homecoming fans jaturday. After holding the mighty Flicker- tails scoreless in the first half, the Bison wilted under the withering fire ot Jack West’s heavy artillery in the third and fourth quarters, three touchdowns coming in rapid succes- sion. It was a bitter battle all the way, the Bison fighting doggedly until the finish, but their best efforts could not match the skill and strength of the Nodak crew. The vaunted pass attack of the university was fairly well smothered by the Bison backs but the power of West's offense was a revelation. Led by Paul Boyd, giant senior from Boulder, Colo., the Flickertail backs ripped large holes in the Bison for- ward wall. , Boyd was the spark plug of the victorious Flickertails. This youth of gigantic proportions evidently likes football only when sent against the Bison. Boyd has been of little use to North Dakota football for three seasons except in the battles with the Bison. It was his able kick- ing and plunging which aided the Nodaks materially in winning the 1926 and 1927 contests, and now in this 1928 battle he was the potent factor in a revamped backfield. Jarrett Remains Out Glenn Jarrett had carried the bulk of the Flickertail attack in previous contests but in this game with the Bison West left Jarrett on the side- lines and sent Boyd out to stardom. Boyd, however, must not be given all the credit for the defeat handed the yellow and green. Cy Kahl, the husky from Alexandria, Mi played an important part in the b: carrying, and his blocking was of a high order. Curtis Sch: Grand Forks sophomore, slipped through ; for many pretty runs and was the constant threat which helped make North Dakota's plunges all the more effective. Schave had to be watched carefully every minute, and while watching Schave the Bison line was unable to set itself for the tremend- ous rushes of Boyd and Kahl. _ The wily West made many changes in his offense, changes which wrecked havoc with the carefully laid Bison defensive plans. Hereto- fore, Schave had been used almost exclusively outside tackle but in the early moments of the game Schave dashed and twisted inside tackle and then faked off tackle while the more ponderous gents pounded inside these men of the forward wall. | It was a dazzling as well as power- | ful offense and the Bison were fighting with their backs to the wall all the way. After receiving the first kickoff the — Flickertails smashed straight to the Bison 20 yard line before losing a ball on a fumble. Kicking from deep in his own territory into the teeth of a biting wind from the west, Leo May made manful efforts to drive back the invaders. Time after time he kicked out when the Bison defense succeeded in agg gre their eel was in danger, sending long spiral back to midfield. Bison Show Courage Throughout the first half the Flickertails were hammering at the Bison goal but the defenders had the determination, courage and abil- ity to stop these rushes. Only once the Bison tried an offensive drive of their own and that was just before the gun barked ending the half, Pete Gergen hurling a 30 yard pass to Cy Peschel, placing the ball on the Nodak 30 yard line as the action ceased. cca In the second half the Bison line was unable to hold these galloping Flickers and a march of 81 yards produced the first touchdown about the middle of the third period. Then the Bison realized that they were in the ruck and threw all caution to the winds. On the first play after the next kickoff the Bison elected to pass, but it was intercepted and started the Nodaks on their way to another touchdown. After the sec- ond counter was chalked up, the Bison again heaved a pags on the first play after the kickoff and again North Dakota marched for a counter after intercepting the toss. Had the Bison given up the ghost and been content with an effort to hold down the score—which many teams might have done after having been outplayed so badly—kicks on the first down in place of passes might have delayed the tallying. But, the Bison were willing to gam- ble in an effort to save the ie and their efforts brought down even a@ more crushing defeat. The “Big Parade” The march of the Nodaks, which could be correctly termed the big parade, was the turning point of the struggle. In fact, the ball game was over at that point. Had one Bison forward been able to make a play to delay that march like the drives in the first half had been curbed, it might have been differ- ent. But, it would have taken a much stronger defense than the Bison could muster to halt that drive as the Nodaks blocked like demons, the plays tan off with clocklike precision, and the ball car- riers drove and fought for every inch. It was a beautiful march, this triumphant drive, and definitely proved the contention that the 1928 Nodak team is better than any out- fit to represent the university since the World war. It was sheer determination on the part of the Bison which held the No- daks in check in the first half. Af- ter halting the drives. Leo May hammered out his long kicks and the Bison fought and battled for a break which might turn the tide of battle their way. However, the Flickers were also watching for these breaks and were alert enough to cover any errors on their own part which might have given the Bison the opportunity they sought. si The Bison had little opportunity to get a running attack underway, 50 strong was the Flickertail forward wall. The Bison made only three first downs, one by Leo May’s plung- ing and two on forward passes. To pick out a star in the Flicker- tail line would be a task too diffi- cult to even attempt. From end to end it was a stone wall and the tackles and ends blocked so ef- fectively on both sides that there was little to choose. Willis Shep- ard, captain and right end, was a little more effective at times because of his 5: 5 Leo May was the whole show for the Bison on the offense while Joe Blakeslee, Pete Gergen and Cy Peschel worked hard and effectively on the defense, especially when un- der the fire of the Nodak passes. Marmarth Wins Easy Game from Ekalaka Ekalaka, S. D., Oct. 29.--Marmarth, N. D., high school downed Ekalaka here Saturday, 25 to 0. The North Dakota coach used his second string in the first half and the seconds were able to push over one touchdown. The first squad took up the battle at the half and scored three times more. Sixteen cars of Marmarth fans ac- companied the team here. =e | —_—_____—_—_—_—_—_—— and a xm F “ a 6 owt) ys PRLS AG sated I a a eae
