The game marked the second vic-/ tory of the evening for the Capital City, the Imps having rode rough shod over Turtle Lake to take a pre- liminary game, 26 to 6. Once again it was Eddie Agre who Jed the Bismarck cohorts to victory. ‘The diminutive Bismarck leader paced the field in scoring to find the Joop for six field goals in addition to providing the outstanding perform- ance of the evening on the floor. The Demons were a smoother func- tioning outfit than they were a week ago against Hebron but they had dif- ficulty with their shots. Both teams; missed a number of setups but it was! the Bismarck aggregation that was/ guilty of the greater number of er- rors. During the first half, the De- mons booted at least a half dozen chances that looked like certain) counters. Finnigan Looked Good Finnigan, who was paired with Agre at forward, was second high point man, with a total of six points. The yangy Irishman has exhibited consid- erable improvement and he and Eddie Agre make an effective scoring com- bination. Green and Schlickenmeyer worked hard at the guard positions to keep the Carrington attack at bay and to limit the scoring attempts of the vis- itors to two shots from the floor. Coach George Hays sent nine men; into action using MI , Normie Agre, Stackhouse, and Manney as re- placements for his starters. ‘Winterer and Baker lived up to ad- vance notices and were outstanding for Carrington. They provided the snap in the invaders’ attack and each connected for @ field goal and a free throw. Visitors Start Strong ‘The visitors looked as though they, might extend the Demons td the limit during the first part of the; game, battling with them on even terms during the first quarter. After Eddie Agre had found the basket for-two points to start the scoring fireworks, Baker came back with a field goal to even the count. The captain scored again to put the locals in the lead, 4 to 2, which had to content the locals dur- ing the remainder of the period. The Demons hit their stride in the second to outdistance the opposition during the remainder of the game. They chalked up nine points in the second stanza, six in the third, and seven in the fourth. ‘The Imps had too much for the Turtle Lake aggregation who were buried under a 26 to 6 score. Bob ‘Stackhouse led the locals in scoring teams points.

The! just as keen as the battle of the players chosen are: BACKS—Wood, Harvard, quar- terback; Schwartz, Notre Dame, left halfback; Rentner, North- western, right halfback; Shaver, Southern California, fullback. ENDS—Dalrymple, Tulane, left end; Smith, Georgia, right end. LINE—Quatse, Pittsburgh, left tackle; Schwegler, Washington, right tackle; Munn, Minnesota, left guard; Hickman, Tennessee, right guard; Morrison, Michigan, center. Dalrymple is the only man on the 1931 list who also appeared on the All-America last year. Credit for the most spectacular play of the season goes to a star who is not selected for the team. “The greatest run of the year,” say the judges, “was made by Ray Stecker of the Army against Notre Dame.” ‘Season Was ‘Bewildering’ The football season of 1931 is char- acterized by the selection committee as “bewildering,” owing to the fact that many strong teams which began the campaign with a dash, finished sprawled out. “Notre Dame started with a wild sweep and then fell be-| sot: fore Southern California and the Army,” the judges comment. “Yaie won no major game up to her Har- vard test, and Harvard had won every game until the Yale meeting, yet it was the Blue that fluttered above the Crimson when the two met. “Tulane alone, with its speed and smoothness, finished November at full strength. The wear and_ tear showed on Georgia, Notre Dame, Northwestern and Harvard to a marked degree, and all this must ‘be taken into consideration when one starts to consider the work of indi- vidual stars. They often rise and fall as their teams rise and fall, for they are all a part of the organiza- tion which they represent. “There were more than the usual) number of injuries this year, due in part to incorrect blocking, the hard- est and roughest part of the game. The west coast again proved its strength with victories over Minne- sota, Notre Dame and Dartmouth. The south had one of its greatest years. The midwest had a strong general average. The east was more spotty than usual.” End Competition Close The closest competition for the prized gold trophies designed by Wal- ter Camp came among the end selec- tions. Dalrymple was out in front, with something to spare. But Smith, Orsi and Cronkite were in a driving finish and Smith of Georgia was finally given the edge in considera- tion of the terrific schedule he had to face, which included 10 hard games, and almost no respite from one week to another. ‘The comment of the judges on their other selections is as follows: “Naturally the backfield battle was close. If Shaver had been placed at quarterback, Gene McEver of Ten- nessee would have drawn the full- back assignment. Morton of Dart- mouth was nearest Wood in the east, but Wood rose to greater heights at times and his all-around effectiveness backs. The final selection brought out one remarkable turn—this prob- ably is the heaviest All-America line ever selected, and yet one of the fast- est and one of the most aggressive. The average weight of the line from tackle to tackle is 215 pounds and yet there isn’t a slow-moving man in the group.” Get Honorable Mention In addition to the 11 men named were judged to be “of All-America calibre,” and were considered in mak- ing the final choice: HALFBACKS—Booth, Yale; Steck- er, Army; McEver, Tennessee; Pinck- ert, Southern California; Zimmer- man, Tulane; Auker, Kansas State; Koy, Texas; Mason, 8.

Lewis’ most important piece of business was to sign Max Schmeling for a defense of the heavyweight title against Mickey Walker sometime in March. The articles for the heavy title battle included a proviso that Schmeling may withdraw if the D- linois legislature fails to approve an amendment to the state boxing law | providing for 15-round championship j bouts. The stadium has offered Herr Maxie $200,000 or a privilege of 40 per cent of the gate, to meet Walker. Also in Lewis’ brief case were arti- cles for title bouts between Tony Can- zoneri, ruler of the world’s light- weights, and Christopher (Bat) Bat- talino, featherweight champion, in February, and Lou Bruillard, welter- weight titleholder, and either Jimmy McLarnin or Jackie Fields, the latter @ former champion of his division. The welter title bout would be held in February or March. ~ The stadium also is figuring on an- other fistic tid-bit, a match between Ernie Schaaf of Boston, and Will Stribling, the prominent Gegrsia heavyweight.
