‘Overconfident’ Demons Make Late Punch to Defeat JOHNNY O'HARE |Farrel) Names Vance, Grove, | It’s a Family of Eight Swimming Athletes PLAYS STRONG IN 43 TO 6 WIN Final Touchdown of Hard Game Is Made in Early Part of Last Period McLEOD IS DISSATISFIED Valley City Plays Well; Mentor Is Worrying About Game With Mandan An “apparently overconfident” Bismarck football team, forced te overcome breaks against them caused by their own misplays, pro- duced a final punch that enabled them to put over a touchdown in the last quarter to vhip a fighting Val- ley City team at the Hiliner city yesterday by a 13 to 6 count. , Bismarck succeeded in keeping its slate clean in its fight for the un- official state championship, but ac- cording to Coach Ray McLeod, will have to fight to overcome a bad slump if it expects to whip Mandan in its last scheduled contest next Saturday. Valley City, presenting a team that was almost as heavy as Bis- marck’s, played “over their heads” according to Valley City fans, real- izing that a win over the highly- touted Demons would make their season successful after several re- verses. O'Hare Is Star ‘ Johnny O’Hare, in spite of his in- jured leg which has been bothering him for the last month, was the “big man” of the game according to Mc- Leod. His line crashes, running of interference, and blocking were outstanding. The whole team layed poorly in the first half, Bucking up in the second half con- siderably but not enough to make their showing satisfactory. Bismarck scored after a 60-yard march in the second quarter, only to Jose the ball on their own 10-yard line in the same quarter and allow the Hiliners to score on a trick , double pass play. A 25-yard pass * from Jacobson to Meinhover, who caught the pigskin in the end zone, brought the second touchdown. First Quarter A break went against Bismarck on the third play of the game. The Demons were downed on their own 10-yard line and held after the kickoff. O’Hare blocked Jacobson’s kick and Valley City recovered on the ' 10-yard line. But the Demons held them for downs, taking the ball on , the 20-yard line as a Valley pass 1 was grounded in the end zone. O'Hare then went through the Hi- liner line for 30 yards to mid-field, where Valley again held. Mein- hover put the punt down on Valley City’s 10-yard line, and the hall see-sawed in Hiliner territory for the remainder of the quarter. Second Quarter Bismarck took the ball on its own 40-yard line at the beginning of the second period and within three minutes had scored. The ball was advanced by O’Hare and Jacobson, aided by a pass from Jacobson to Meinhover for 20 yards, to the 15- yard line. Taking the ball five times in succession, O’Hare crashed the massed Hiliner line for a touchdown. The extra-point kick was missed. § 3 let the Litaiged rally ot pecti it to go over the g yut it nage ale on the 10-yard line.

However, State has scored nothing better than a tie over the Blue Jays since 1924. Although no heavy scrimmage has been indulged in this week, the Frosh have been called down to the varsity field every night to demon- strate Creighton plays with the varsity attempting to solve them. In order to build up the reserve strength in the backfield which was reduced by the injury to Arnold, Baker, one of the fullbacks, at the right halfback job part of the time so that he can step into Engleman’s shoes in case the star halfback is injured. Simonson,.a third string fullback, has been receiving a lot of attention to get him ready for an emergency Saturday in case it is necessary to shift Baker to half- back. | Most of the sore spots acquired in the Hobo Day game have disap- peared. Englemann, Baker and Harding have limbered up in fine shape the last couple of days al- though they will not be in tip-top form by Saturday. ‘The line has shown flashes of fine play this week which have probably been inspired by the fact that they will be up against a line containing at least three all-conference men of last year.

Penn Given Advantage Over Chicago Maroons Because of Alonzo Stagg’s Weak Line Nov. Chicago, 8.— (AP) — The {gram i in the Big Ten’s topped today’s schedule as teams from the south and east, Princeton, Alabama and Pennsylvania, invaded the west. Close to 160,000 spec- tators were expected to watch the intersectional clashes. The headline attraction was the game between two _ undefeated jelevens, Princeton and Ohio State, at Columbus. A smashing line duel {Was anticipated, but the edge was |eonceded to the Buckeyes, who have jmarched through Big’Ten victories ‘over Michigan, Indiana, and North- western. Upwards of 75,000 were to watch the battle. Alabama made its first Big Ten invasion playing Wisconsin’s unde- feated team. The crimson tide was the “underdog” in the clash, but its heralded passing attack has caused Coach Glen Thistlethwaite of Wis- jconsin considerable apprehension. Governors of Alabama and Wiscon- sin.were to watch the game. Nothing but victory was: predicted for Pennsylvania in its duel with |Coach Amos Alonzo Stagg’s crippled Chicago Maroons here. The Cltica- go line was admittedly the weakest \in years. From championship competition, the traditional contest between Michigan and the undefeated, cham- Pionship Illinois eleven held the Ispotlight. Despite the fact Michi- gan has lost four straight games this year, more than 85,000 had tickets for the game and the Wol- jVerines were more confident today jthan at any time this season. {| Minnesota’s Big Ten, which has |been shorn of its driving force by |injuries to Bronko Nagurski, full- ack, and Duke Johnson, tackle, en- gaged Northwestern at Evanston ‘in the other conference tilt. Both were out of the championship run- ning, but the battle attracted inter- jt as Northwestern was determined to gain its first conference victory of the season. ,, Other Big Ten teams were either idle or were to meet weaker non- conference opponents.

JIMS BUILDING CINDER TRACK Jamestown, N. D., Nov. 3.—One of the finest quarter-mile cinder tracks in the state is being built this fall at Jamestown college. Several hundred loads of cinders from the Ottertail Power company have been placed on the track. Interest in spring track is already manifest; several aspirants to the team are now in training. Coach Er- ieson announces that a heavy sched- ule is being planned for the track season and that several meets with colleges of North and South Dakota on the home field are being arranged for. In the three years of track at Jamestown college the Jimmies have won two conference championships. PACIFIC COAST TEAMS BATTLE San Francisco, Nov. 3.—()—The most impressive array of clashes of the season, the results of which pos- sibly will determine Pacific coast championship honors was offered coast football followers today. Three undefeated elevens staked their hopes of victory on two major conflicts, the outcome of which The un- defeated and untied Stanford Car- dinals faced at Los Angeles the baffling offensive of the University of Southern California, hoping to hold its place at the top of the standing. The University of Cali- fornia was confronted at Berkeley with a strong eleven from the Uni- versity of Oregon. Neither Cali- fornia nor Southern California has been defeated but they battled each other to, a scoreless tie two weeks ago, therefore the two games may go far toward determining confer- ence honors. Other conference battles brought the University of Idaho and Wash- ington State College together at Moscow. SAYS CHOOSING | 1S SIMPLE FOR ALL POSITIONS Says Three Hurlers Have Best Records; Only Three Throw- ers Needed COCHRANE IS CATCHER Ruth, Manush, and Waner Are Chosen to Guard Gar- dens for Stars By HENRY L. FARRELL With the exception of one or two positions, the selection of an all-star major league baseball team for 1928 can be almost automatic. It so hap- pened that there was one man so outstanding for almost every po- sition on the team that there could be little question as to his right to the honor. Under these circumstances it seems possible that, for once, the ex- perts will be fairly well agreed and that there will be a striking similar- ity in the selections. There probably will be a differ- ence of opinion in the outfield and on the nominations for the pitching staff. There wasn’t such a sugplus of brilliant outfielders, but there was a generous supply of fine pitch- ing. These Are Writer's Choice With the satisfaction that it will not make much difference to the players concerned or will not im- pair the health or test the temper of those who read it, the writer offers the following selection: First base—Lou Gehrig, New York Yankees, ‘ Second base— Rogers Hornsby, Boston Braves. Shortstop—Joe Sewell, Cleveland Indians, Third base—Fred Lindstrom, New York Giants, Right field—Babe Ruth, New York Yankees, Center field—Heinie Manush, St. Louis Browns. Left ficld—Paul Waner, Pitts- burgh Pirates. Catcher—Mickey Cochrane, Phila- delphia Athletics. back: (below), punt from his own nine-yard and ran the length of the field for after the kickoff, Orar Pape, foot sophomore substitute (above), smashed his way through the Min- nesota team for a 62-yard run and Backs Stage Duel | For three periods the Iowa-Minne- sota game at Iowa City, the other day, was just a football game.

Pitchers—Dazzy Vance, Brooklyn Robins; Lefty Grove, Philadelphia Athleti Waite Hoyt, New York Yankee: Experts Practically Agree on Infield Considering the class of their game during the 1928 season, it seems that the infield section cannot be seriously questioned. Because s0 many other people think the same way. Gehrig certainly showed his class over Jim Bottomley in the world se- ries, and form in the series must. be considered because it is the real big test. There may be an argument of- fered that Lindstrom is not better than Pie Traynor and that Sewell is not as good as Glenn Wright or Travis Jackson. And in these cases the old matter of personal opinion will have to prevail. Mickey Cochrane cinched his place as catcher. He is by far the best catcher in the big leagues, and he rates with some of the best of all time. The three outfielders men- tioned may have their equals, but there aren't three better men, and if you know a better man than any one of the three you can have him. Can't Pick All Good Pitchers- It is impossible to recognize all the pitchers deserving of mention when there are only three places to be filled. It would seem impossible to reward class without ‘mentioning Larry Benton, Burly Grimes, George Pipgras, Ed Morris, or Alvin Crowder, but they can’t all be placed on the team. ._ Dazzy Vance, the ball players say, is without doubt the greatest pitcher in baseball. With a winning team he might not lose two games a year. BURGLARS NAB WHEAT MEDALS Kansas City, Nov. 3—(4)—Two prized gold medals given him for services on the pennant. winning Brooklyn baseball teams of 1916 and 1920 were stolen from the home of Zach D. Wheat, when two rob- bers ransacked the house last night after choking Mrs. Wheat into un- consciousness. $100 diamond stickpin and clothing also was taken. Mrs. Wheat was alone in the house when the men forced entrance and de- manded her jewels. When she told them the jewels were not in the house, they seized and choked her, then made a hurried search of the house. : Mrs. Wheat was not seriously harmed, and when she revived shortly afterward, telephoned the alarm to her husband, at work at the Tierney-Wheat Recreation par-| lor, 0” which he is a co-owner. ir. Wheat, a staz outfielder for the Robins for a dozen years, now is connected with the Minneapolis club of the American Association. He managed Brooklyn for a short time in 1925, and that year was voted the mos: popular player in the New York metropolitan area. His home is in Kansas City. ene '. A. Scott lawyer Hackensack’ N.

JUST ABOUT SAME WEIGHT When Jowa and Minnesota met this r their team weight was ap- proximately the same. Iowa aver- aged 184 pounds, while Minnesota averaged 183 pounds, Their back- fields varied one-half pound, YOUTH HAS ITS FLING Every r of .the athletic coaching staff at the University of Kentucky is under 26 years of age. He doesn’t stand as high on the list as Benton and some of the other big winners, but the ball players appre- ciate him and rate him on what he shows them. Lefty Grove has been compared to the greatest left-handers of all times and his record in 1928 proves that he is the best southpaw in the game today and one of the very best Pitchers, The selection of the third pitcher is largely a matter of choice, and Hoyt is our selection for the great exhibition of heart and spirit he gave in the closing weeks of the Pennant race. He to carry the Pitching burden almost alone, and when he wasn’t pitching in his regu- lar turn he was pitching out of turn or laboring in the bull pen ready to get in at the first call. The first thing to do after reading one of these all-star selections is to sit down and write out another team that could beat it, and perhaps an- other team could be picked that would beat this one four straight in any series, 4 HIRAM, ALFRED ‘STUDENTS YELL New York, Nov. 3.—It’s time to |’ ve 15 cheers for two small col- ‘Hiram in Ohio and Alfred in New York.

The plan whereby the birds will be shipped to this state was a result. The birds probably will be trapped immediately after the pheasant shooting season ends in South Dakota,’ about December 1, according to Roberts. He is coop erating with R. A. Kinzer, chief game warden of the seventh dis- trict, Charles Peterson, state game and fish commissioner and Sam King, deputy state game warden, in working out the plan. Many of the birds would be re- ee in Burleigh county, Roberts said. . The state game and fish commis- sion funds would be used to pay half. of the expense of catching the birds and the state Izak Walton league would furnish the rest of the money. The league has provided itself with am automobile equipped with a spe- cial spotlight and nets to catch the birds, Roberts said, DE VOS MAKES CLASS THREAT Chicago, Nov. 3.—(#)—The chal- lenge to Mickey Walker's middle- weight championship has assumed a pronounced Belgian tinge. Rene de. Vos took care of that last night when he outpointed Dave Shade of Cali. fornia in 10 furious rounds. Shade’s crouching stance, so ef- fective against many American mid- dleweights, bothered de Vos only in three rounds. The rest of the time the Belgian challenger was return- ing little bit more than Shade sent. One of Shade’s blows, coming up from the floor, caught de Vos on the chin, clicking his teeth together so ickly that his tongue was severely .
