‘HE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1lyza INGWERSEN’S QUTFIT GIVEN CRITIC CHOICE Badgers Are Feared, However, Because of Their Great Passing Game ILLINI MEETS MAROON Northwestern, Now a Powerful Eleven, Faces Page’s In- diana Machine Chicago, Nov. 17.— (4) — Firsi place in the Big Ten football cham- pionship race and membership in the nation’s select circle of undefeated teams were at stake at Iowa City today, where Iowa and Wisconsin match speed and brawn before 35,000 spectators. ? The battle, which may decide the championship scramble—barring up- sets in next week's final games— was easily the outstanding attraction of the western conference's schedule, which included games between Chi- cago and Illinois, and Northwestern and Indiana. Towa Is Picked Because of impressive triumphs over Minnesota and Ohio, Coach Burt Ingwersen’s ponderous Iowa machine was experts’ choice to win. Wisconsin, however, packed a pass- ing game that has fooled every team it has met this season, and was con- ceded a big chance. A steady drizzle yesterday made the playing field heavy, and that was regarded as an advantage for Iowa, which has an almost invincible line attack. ve mood because of its defeat by Michigan two weeks ago, Illinois, 1927 champions, invaded Chicago bent on giving Coach Amos Alonzo Stagg’s men their fifth straight conference licking. Chicago was in good physical shape, for once, but wasn’t conceded much of a chance to turn back the Illini. At Bloomington, Northwestern and Indiana were to do battle. Off to a poor start, Northwestern has snapped into a powerful aggregation with victories over Minnesota and Purdue, and today was pointing to a first-division berth in the final conference rating. Indiana was badly crippled. The field was soggy and heavy. Gophers Meet Indians Minnesota had the once mighty Haskell Indians for opponents in a nonconference clash, which was re- garded as merely a workout for the Gophers. Spears is thinking of that Wisconsin game next week, An ancient enemy, Wabash, was at Purdue, and this;time the Boiler- makers were fearing an aerial at- tack. Today's battle was the twenty- cighth between the two schools. Harry Kipke, one of the best ball carriers ever at the Unnversity of Michigan, led his Michigan State college eleven to Ann Arbor to meet the Wolverines. Coach Jack Wilce planned to do considerable experimenting today when his Ohio State eleven tackles Muskingum at Columbus. § RABBIT NET MEN RETURNED Brookings, S. D., Nov. 17.—One letter man and a squad of promis- ing sophomores reported to Coach George Edmonds for the preliminary basbetball drills which started last week at South Dakota State college. Five letter men from last year will be added to the squad when the foot- ball schedule closes on Thanksgiving Day. . ee 1 uf the six veterans a ble, only Nicholson, diminutive forward, re- ported this week. Captain Schaefer, forward, Krug and Herting, guards, and Engelmann and Baker, centers, are all regulars on the football team.

Meehan and Dempsey were matched in a preliminary bout in Emeryville, across the bay from San Francisco. Dempsey was floored in the fourth round with a series of up- percuts and body punches. Dempsey got $25 and Meehan $50. Incidentally, Dempsey was on the stage recently, appearing in Belas- co's production, “The Big Fight,” story of the love affairs of a pugi- list and a manicurist, with bootleg- gers, gunmen and others of Broad- way involved. | Dempsey’s career was short-lived. | The play didn’t catch the public fancy and it was closed.

And foremost of a championship club is a concern over the greatest left arm in baseball. But down here in the heart of Pennsylvania’s most picturesque pastoral country, the owner of the greatest left arm in baseball is go- ing peacefully and happily about the business of being a gentleman farm- er and a great baseball star com- pletely on 2 vacation. Last August when the Yankees were breezing along with a great big lead and threatening to make another joke out of the American League pennant race, the left arm of Herb Pennock, the greatest south- paw in the league and the mainstay of the New York pitching staff, went dead suddenly. Couldn't Lift Arm He couldn’t lift his arm above his head and no treatment known brought any response. He didn’t pitch another game all season and it is of too recent record to recall what a terrific battle the Yankees had to win the pennant without him. As the services of Pennock were of vital importance to the Yankees in 1928, so they will be if the Yan- kees are to have an improved pitch- ing staff for the next campaign, and Pennock’s arm is the big worry of little Miller Huggins, manager of the team. Pennock, however, is not fretting himself by worry. He is hunting, riding cross country with his wife, working with his hounds and giv- ing personal attention to the rais- ing of the fine tomatoes and pom- pons, which are his special hobbies. “How is your arm, Herb?” he was asked. “To be frank,” he answered, “I do not know. I am letting it alone. I have detached myseif entirely from baseball. I am occupying myself with other thoughts. I am doing the things I like to do, and I am enjoy- ing the happiness that I have only during the months when I am with my family, my horses, my dogs and my plants. I feel that when I am mentally happy my body will be happy, if L might put it that way. And I’m sure the old arm will get feeling happy, too.” Mays In Florida Carl Mays, whose arm went dead in Cincinnati last’ season, is in Mi- ami Beach, Fla., baking his arm in the sun, and some other pitchers are working their arms through the off months. But not Pennock, whose arm is the best of all of them. “TI would be foolish to do anything like that,” Pennock said. “I am rather frail. That is, I never have had weight to spare, and I must. build myself up during the off sea- son. I might not only permanently disable my arm by foolish exercise, but I might impair some other or- gan. My theory is that it is essen- tial first to feel good, be happy, en- joy yourself and keep in a na nt. frame of mind. All other things, I believe, will them adjust themselves to your frame of mind. There certainly wasn’t anythii in his conversation that would indi- if he never is able to pitch again. Baseball has becn too much in his life to become detached entirely from it without some regret. e But there certainly is something in him that betrays the feeling that he will not despair when the time comer that he must pay the natural tol Herb Pennock is a wealthy man. His money is represented in one of the most attractive little estates you would want to see, and his sav- ings are in investments that pay. He has a lovely family, a wife and little daughter who like to do the things he does. Every dog, horse and plant on his farm are the best that money can buy, and he has a great pride in them. Watching him around his farm you are convinced that u man hard! could be happier and, as he said— maybe his arm will get happy with him before another season starts.

The Yachtman’s Association of America wants a challenger for the Harmsworth trophy to post a for- feit for the worthiness of the craft entered. In 1926, C. A. Clark, on behalf of France, challenged for the trophy held by Gar Wood of Detroit. His boat was the “Excelsior France.” Defending boats were built and an elaborate preliminary card was ar- ranged. The “Excelsior France” developed engine trouble, and was forced out :n the first heat. This year an elaborate program was scheduled when Miss Marion Barbara Carstairs challenged for England. Her Soat sunk-on the first lap, and race went to Wood by for- eit. The expenSe of the two regattas was more than $1,250,000. The yachtmen at the same meet- ing in Detroit agreed that each of the dominions of the British em- ‘ieee should be permitted to chal- lenge for the trophy, and procure motors in their dominions. Now the empire has but one challenge. One of the effects of such a change would be to permit Com- modore Harry B. Greening, of Ham- ilton, Ont., to challenge. A third recommended change in-; volves the running of: the Duke of York trophy race in other than British waters. The trophy is held by an American, J. H. Rand of Buf- falo. It for boats with engines of 91 cubic inch piston displacement. Gar Wood and Aaron Deroy, American sportsmen, have issued a conditional challenge to Rand for a race in England next summer. The condition is that if either wins he may. defend it in American waters. If the international body réjects this plan Wood and Deroy will withdraw their challenge.

For two years previous to that he was with the ittsburgh Yellow Jackets, world amatetr champions, and also played with the Argonauts of To- ronto and the Timmins of northern Ontario, He started with the Park- dale club in 1918-19. Worters’ piace will be taken for the time being by Joe Miller, also a graduate from the Yellow Jack- ets, and at present the property of the National league. South Dakota Changes Lineup for N. D. Bison Vermilion, S. D., Nov. 17.—(P)— With a revamped offense the South Dakota Coyotes today met the North Dakota Aggies here in their wind up game of the seasons. A win for the Coyotes would place the two teams in a tie for third place in the conference. _ Dissatisfied with his team’s at- tack, Coach V. E. Montgomery, has shifted Beach, a halfback, to the quarter back ition, dropping his regular signal caller, Wii » off the starting lineup.

Before leaving here last night Rojas announced he was through with the fight game, and would take up less strenuous work to support his wife and three children. Rojas, who was suspended and fined $50) for failure to put up a fight against Babe Hunt, Ponca city heavyweight who knocked him out in the second round Thursday night, was described by Roy Rhodes, promoter, as “through, broke, punch drunk and down and out.” The $500 fine represented the full amount of Rojas purse for the Tulsa appearance, and he accepted $50 from one of the fight promoters to defray his traveling expenses. NEBRASKA AND PANTHERS SET ‘Lincoln, Neb. Nov. 17.—(P)—A rain-soaked field and the Pittsburgh Panthers were hazards that faced the University of Nebraska today in the quest for national football honors. s Pittsburgh came west with full fighting strength to break the Ne- braska record of no defeats or ties for the year. A spongy, slippery gridiron was the battleground. The game, besides having a bear- ing on the unofficial national title, was a rubber contest. Pittsburgh defeated the Nebraskans 21-13 last year, while Nebraska scored a 10-0 victory in 1921. Both previous games were played in Pittsburgh. North Dakota Coach Sends Indian Eleven Against Minnesota Minneapolis, Nov, 17.—(#)—Coach “Doc” Spears,’ Minnesota football team sought today to turk back the invasion of the Haskell Indians and at the same time save enough strength for the windup game of the season next Saturday against Wis- consin at Madison. Spears planned to start his regu- lars, but hoped to be able to replace them with reserves as soon as pos- sible. The last string of five Big Ten games on successive Saturdays had materially sapped the Gophers’ attack. A crowd estimated between 18,000 and 20,000 was expected. Coach John Thomas, Jamestown, N.

TROJAN-COUGAR GRIDIRON CLASH COAST FEATURE Southern California Victory Means at Least Tie for Championship San Francisco, Nov. 17.—(P)— Though four conference clashes were offered to Pacific coast fans today, interest of football followers cen- tered chiefly in the University of Southern California’s last major battle with the Cougars of Wash- ington State college. The conflict was the only one have ing a definite bearing on the confer- ence title, with a win for the South- ern California Trojans assuring them of at least a tie for the cham- pionship, and a win for the Courags affording a chance to capture first honors, Final determination of the titular role, however, depends on the annual Stanford-California game next week, California and Southern California, each undefeated and tied only in their one scoreless conflict, head the conference standings. At Palo Alto the Cardinals of Stanford university were ready for the University of Washington huskies in another conference tilt, Both teams have been defeated in competition, but the Cardinals are favored for a victory. The state honors for Oregon were to be settled when Oregon State col- lege and the University of Oregon meet at Corvallis. Montana was host to the University of Idaho at a battle at Missoula. Two nonconference games bring together the University of California and the University of Nevada at Berkeley, and the Uni- versity of California at Los Angeles and Laverne at Los Angeles, STATE SET FOR GOPHER B TILT Brookings, S. D., Nov. 17.—A squad of 23 South Dakota College Jackrabbits left here Friday morn- ing for Minneapolis, where they will take a whirl today at the great un- known—the B team of the Univer- sity of Minnesota. Jackrabbit football teams in years past have played Big Ten conference teams and have given good account of themselves. But this is the first time they have locked horns with a B team. Hence, the expression “the great unknown.” The workouts for the last three days were hampered by a wet field and early darkness but the condi- tion of the field gave the boys some experience in handling the ball ‘un- der the adverse conditions which they are likely to meet in the com- ing three games. Thursday night the squad was sent back to early season fundamentals when a drill on tackling was handed out. Coach Kasper was not too well satisfied with this department of the game in North Dakota Aggie contest when the Bison halfback, Peschel, dashed through the outfit for a 70-yard run for a touchdown. Kasper is pinning his hopes for victory on a powerful line and a pair of halfbacks, Engelmann and Schafer, who have not been stopped this year. The Jackrabbit line, from tackle, was built this year from sophomores, made over backfield men and reserves, but the recon- struction has been so thorough that sports writers and dopsters concede it to be the best line in the North Central conference. Hoberg, with little previous ex. perience, has developed into a pows erful tackle and Jenison, a sopho- more, has come along so well he has attracted the attention of critics in search of all-conference material, The first string guards, Adler and Hadler, are comparatively new at their positions but have yet to be out-played. Adler played some of the games at guard last year, but Hadler was a backfield man until Kasper looked over his chunky build and picked him for a lineman, Hiner, the center, had only mediocre success as a reserve tackle for two seasons but slipped into the breach and plugged the hole at center that caused a lot of worry to the coach early in the season. His accurate passing has been the feature of every game. The three veteran wing men, Krug, Eggers and Her- ting, are doing all that was expected of them and form one of the strong- est end combinations in the confer- | ence, French Golfers Have Trouble With Crows St. Germain-en-Laye, France, Nov. 17.—(AP)—The stuffed crow with a golf ball in its beak has been adopted facetiously here as the emblem of this club which possesses one of the most beautiful courses in France.
