D., Aug. 15.—| Out on the Missouri Slope they} grow ’em big and tough. And thatj western tendency may go a long way this fall toward giving North Da- kota university a winning football team. | An elephantine tackle from Gor- rison, Conrad Joseph Mahowald, who rockets the scales to 220 pounds, may answer on the line question- marks at the University. Mahowald, who as a matter of fact is called “Tiny.” was discovered in physicial educati class last winter by As- istant, Coach Buck Starbeck. Buck w so pleased with Mahowald’s physique that the Garrison boy was invited to join the spring training squad. Although hel had never worn! a football suit be-| fore in his life Mahowald early’ demonstrate d some aptitude at the game. Con- sequently the coaches paid him more than his share of atten- tion. He develop- ed even to al greater degree! than had been ex- oy in this, his first year. Mahowald is not six fect tall, so it can be seen that his weight is compact and crosswise. In fact so much is this the case that “Tiny” has a terrible time getting in, and staying in, the average football pants that Coach C. A. West has on hand for his Flickertail warriors. Star beck’s “find” is the iest man on squad of 42 which has been called back to Grand Forks to open autumn camp on Sept. 3. To win a regular berth at tackle he will have to displace Austin and Vernon Smith, the “Bad Lands Twins’’ L wo from Dickinson, Bill Durnin, West- hope, and Jimmie Jacobson, Minot, who are looked upon as the. best tackles. Another westerner, Fred Loy, Stanton, who also played his first football this spring, will also be back in the Sept. 3 detachment. Loy is over six feet tall and weighs 180 pounds. He is the bony type and he Slants ALAN J.GouLp Three years ago, Big Bill Tilden as abruptly checked by the surging tush of youthful Frenchmen after capturing the United States singles championship six times in a row.

As @ consequence, Big Bill has a royal |. chance to wade through the field at ;. Forest Hills, starting September 7, . to recapture the national title and equal the Sears-Larned mark.

Thirty-six prospective members of the 1929 team have been called to enter an early training camp which will get under way Sept. 9 in prepara- tion for the opening game of the sea- son with Concordia on Sept. 28. Two workouts daily have been listed for the embryo stars. The first days will be devoted to limbering-up exer- cises, after which intensive drills on the game's fundamentals will get un- der way. Plan Training Table Because of the late opening of school at the Bison institution this year, a training table for the gridsters will be operated, Finnegan said in making his announcement and issuing the call to players.
