On that date, Iowa astounded even its own supporters by defeating Minnesota, 7 to 6, at Iowa City. A week later, Michigan, which hadn’t won a game all season, upset the Illinois, 1927 champions, 3 to 0, On November 10, Iowa again scored the upset by routing Ohio State, 14 to 7, and to com- plete the latest link in the cycle, Wisconsin beat Iowa last Saturday, 13 to 0, when abovt one critic out of 20 believed it nossible. This week, Wisconsin is the ex- perts’ choice to defeat Minnesota, a powerful team which was pushed out of the race by a pair of one- point defeats by Iowa and North- western. In this game the upset cycle has a chance to finish with a perfect record. Reports from the Badger training sector, however, indicate the Wis- consin team is in top form for the game. In a long defensive scrim- mage last night, the Badgers stopped Minnesota’s plays through the line in a fashion pleasing even to “Gloomy Glen” T lethwaite. Coach Thistlethwaite indicated he would use Miller at center, Connor and Kresky at guards, Captain Wag- ner and Binish at tackles and Gan- tenbein and Warren at ends in the game. Minnesota stressed a defense against Wisconsin's passing attack in its last _hard workout, but Coach Clarence Spears seemed far from (AP)—The sati |. Win Brockmeyer, one of the half-backing twins for the Goph- ers, pulled a tendon last night, but will get into the game. The Northwestern-Dartmouth game at Evanston promises to be a!clouds of rich tobacco smoke in the battle of passes. Dartmouth left for Chicago last night. Ohio State may start a revised lineup against Illinois Saturday in an attempt to counter the Illini style of play. Illinois’ lineup seems to be defi- nitely decided and the same men who trounced Chicago last week are expected to start against the Buck- eyes. With both schools boasting dan- gerous elevens, interest in the thirty- first renewal of the Purdue-Indiana game has created greater interest} than ever and all reserved seats have been sold. BISON CAGEMEN | HAVE 20 GAMES Fargo, N. D., Nov. 22.— Twenty including seven on a barn- storming trip through Minnesota and Mlinois during the Christmas vaca- tion, complete the Bison cage sc! ule for the coming season, according to an announcement made yesterday by Leonar T. Saalwaechter, North Dakota Agricultural college basket- ball mentor. In the score of contests 13 are on foreign courts. Four games are to be played with as many colleges in Illinois, while Augsburg college of St. Paul andthe Austin Independents of Austin, Minn., are to be met for the first time in Bison basketball history. Noteworthy in the schedule is the resumption of the two-game series with the Nodaks, a plan that was discarded the last two years in favor of the one-game visits. The Bison netmen play each of their conference agree twice, with the exception the Flickertails, against whom four games are played in the closing two weeks of t! 5 The schedule: Dec. 8, Valley City Uikiogs at Fergo: Dec. 14, Valley City Vikings at Valley City; Dee. 20, Lombard college at Galesburg, .; Dec. 21, Bradley Polytechnic at Ill; Dec, 22, Millikin univer- sity at Decatur, Ill.} Dec. 26, Illinois Wesleyan university at Bloomington, Ill; Dec. 28, Austin Independents at Austin, Minn.; Dec. 29, Austin Inde- THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE .

Brazil has a peculiar lopirg style of covering ground, somewhat on ithe order of Arnold Oss, spectacular Minnesota star of ceveral years ago. He can shift like a flash either way, sidestep onrushing tacklers with the best and uses the straight arm with telling’ effect.

Gus Dorais Brings Detroit U Machine from Grid Cellars Detroit, (AP)—“Gus” Dorais, the hurling end of. the famous Dorais- Rockne passing combination at Notre Dame, l.as been the Moses to lead the University of Detroit out of athletic darkness. This year his team has not been defeated. It has scored 215 points to its opponents 14. Dorais came to Detroit three years ago. Detroit’s teams, when Gus ar- rived from Gonzaga University on the Pacific coast, scarcely could be called second rate. He brought his Notre Dame texts with him and at once began to _in- stall the Notre Dame system. Bud Boeringer, all-America center, and John Frederick, stars of the South Bend school, were added as coaches. Dorais spent most of his first year developing a freshman team. \In 1927 he presented it to intercol- legiate competition. It won seven games and lost only to Notre Dame and the Army. Detroit realized it had a place on the American gridiron. This year the home “crowds have taxed the stadium. Dorais has been coaching fifteen years. Finland is set down in the midst of an archipelago of 10,000 small islands. ‘ n Points to Minnesota Victo GREAT RECORDS IN EVERY YEAR Has Been Coach at Georgia School Since 1920; Boasts Great Machines HAS GREAT PERSONALITY Only Time He Was Angry When Sporting Writer Faked Interview By MORGAN BLAKE The only mar connected with sports in this writer’s acquaintance who seems afflicted with too much modesty is Bill Alexander, the 37- year-old coach at Georgia Tech, a jteam that every year is capable of putting up a good scrap against any opposition and in special years rises to great heights in national prominence. Alex has been head coach of Tech since 1920. In his first year he won the southern championship by de- feating the femous Centre College team, 24 to 0. is Centre team included Bo McMi and Red Rob- erts, both on Walter Camp's all- America team. Georgia Tech has another fine team this year, one that conquered Notre Dame, 13 to 0, and Vander- bilt, 19 to 7, The Tech-Notre Dame game was one of the few in the last decade in which the Irish have failed to score a point. What's He Like? Well, what sort a fellow is this Bill Alexander, coach of the Tor- nado? He is absolutely one man without any bull or baloney. He has not one iota of showmanship, although he has one of the most attractive and engaging personalities of any man I know. But he shuns the spotlight for himself as though it were the Plague. Sometimes we sport writers in Atlanta get real peeved because Alex won’t do a little bragging. Alex always gives. the other fellows the best of it. When his team wins a game, his traditional statement for publication is “We got the breaks.” Of course, when he is hav- ing those heart to heart talks with his men Coach Alexander 0; up and lets them know how proud he is of them. But they never learn this fact through the newspapers. The angriest I ever have seen Coach Alex get was on the morning of a game this year when a sports writer faked an interview with him, in which Alex was credited with boasting brazenly of how Tech was going to eat its opponent alive. When he saw it, he asked me to do him a favor, about the first re- quest like that in the many years of our acquaintance. “Please reply to that in some way for me, will you?” he requested. Coach Alexander has had some lean seasons since he has been in charge at Tech and the fickle public has ridden him a lot. Especially during the years when Alabama was riding the crest in the south, and THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 192: ene. San Ftancisco—Jock Malone, St.. Paul, outpointed Bud Doyle, San Jose, (10). Tech was suffering, from the poor- est lot of material in many years, did Alex take a roasting. But nei- ther criticism nor praise make any impression on him. He is one man who can meet with triumph and dis- aster and treat those two imposters just the same. ' Tech won the Southern Conference championship in 1927, although the team had a bad year in 1926. At the annual banquet to the cham- Ure Alex made a little speech. He Said: “At the end of the 1926 season folks met me on the street and asked—‘Alex, what was the matter with your team this year?’ This year they meet me on the street and say, Alex, didn’t WE have a great team! Alexander Is Worshiped Alexander is worshiped by his men. They know he is a square- shooter and that every man will get his just deserts. He is a hard driver on the field. In teaching the fundamentals of tackling and block- ing, we don’t believe he has a su- perior. He can put the iron in his men’s craws. The Jackets are the sturdi- est crew in the south. They seem to be immune from injuries. In the recent hard game against Vander- bilt eleven Tech men fought through practically the entire four quarters. At the end not one of them was breathing hard. They hadn’t taken time out a single time. The fine physieal condition of Tech’s football players are always a source of won- der to outsiders. Coach Alexander is a graduate of Tech. He never was any great shakes as a football player, but he scrubbed manfully for four years and he got in a few games and won his letter. He became assistant coach to John Heisman and succeed- ed him to the head role when Heis- man went to Pennsylvania to coach. Coach Alexander is a bachelor and has absolutely no interest in the fe- male of the species, except those of his own family. For years he and Kid Clay, head coach of the Tech baseball team, and freshmdn foot- ball coach, occupied bachelor quar- ters together and it was thought that neither would ever marry. But finally Dan Cupid got the Kid. But the boy with the bow has a tougher job in Alex. SIOUX FALLS HAS NEW PRO! Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. 22.—(P)— Directors of the Sioux Falls Country club yesterday signed a contract with Eddie McEllegott of the Su- perior Golf club of Minneapolis to take over the work as professional golfer here next season.

In his first in- terview since he reached New York, Heeney said that he was very un- certain about continuing his ring career but that he would like to keep on if he could fight only men suited to his style. “I want to fight some more and then again I don’t,” Heeney ex- plained. “My wife wants me to get out while I am sound in body and mind. I feel that I’ve fought them all. There’s no new ones around for me to tackle and I have a little money. I’d like to get into some business which would bring me a satisfactory income. That’s one side of it. “Yet I'd like to keep on if I could fight men suited to me and my style. I don’t mean that I want to pick opponents. But what I mean is to fight men near my own size and more closely related to me in style, fellows like Sharkey, Risko, Paulino and Dempsey, any one of the four or all four of them. That would be better than if I fought somebody like Tunney, bigger than me and |e to boxing rather than fight- ing.” Apparently discounting the possi- bility of wading through an elimina- tion tournament to the heavyweight title, Heeney did not think much of the money to be won in the ring. “I suppose I could earn about $40,000 in a year’s fighting,” he said. “And against this there is the idea of exposing yourself to injury.” NEBRASKA SET FOR ARMY TILT: Chicago, Nov. 22.—(4)—The Uni- versity of Nebraska’s unbeaten foot- ball team, a midwest aspirant for national honors, was en route to West Point today to test the mettle of the powerful Army eleven. A tie by Pittsburgh last Saturday is the only tarnish on Nebraska’s record. Short workouts at Albion, Mich., late today and at West Point Friday were expected to polish off the Cornhuskers’ attack.
