THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, OCTOBER 30 1988 Contenders for Sectional Football Championships Are Reduced CANES THS WEEK BISON AND NODAKS BATTLE | OUR BOARDING HOUSE TO PROVIDE MORE DOPE FOR EXPERTS Michigan, Minnesota, “Hlinois| and Purdue Strongest in | Big Ten | FIVE LOOK STRONG IN EAST, =e | Two Oregon Teams and South-{ ern California Appear Class of West New York, Oct. 30.—(#i—Sectional football championships still were far from final solution Monday as major elevens slid toward the first Novem- ber engagements, but the contenders had been cut to more reasonable numbers. On the basis of records, leading challengers for major crowns lined up about as follows: Big Ten—Michigan, the favorite, trailed by Illinois, Purdue and Min- nesota, East—No definite ratings possible in so unwieldy a group but Fordham, Army, Princeton. Holy Cross and Du- quesne look best. Pacific Coast—Oregon, Southern California and Oregon State the only Temaining contenders. Southeastern—Still a wide open fight among Georgia, Kentucky, Ala- bama, Mississippi, Vanderbilt and Louisiana State. Southern—Duke and South Caro- lina threatened only by Washington & Lee and North Carolina. Southwest—Arkansas and Texas alone survive. Big Six—Nebraska stands alone. Rocky Mountain—Utah still the team to beat, with Denver and the; Colorado Aggies the sole challengers. Missouri Valley—Oklahoma A. and M. alone blocks Drake's path to the title. Will Reduce Contenders ‘These contenders will be further reduced this week in a program which will provide these salient points: East—Among the undéfeated and untied teams, Fordham, stacking up against St. Mary's husky Gaels; Princeton facing Brown, Duquesne encountering Washington & Jeffer- son, and Holy Cross traveling west to play Detroit, all run into some danger. Army rests up after its smashing triumph over Yale by play- ing a “breather” against undefeated Coe college of Iowa. Three of the four major eastern elevens who have been tied but not beaten will meet strong intersectional rivals, George Washington squaring off against Tennessee, Carnegie Tech against Purdue at Lafayette, Ind., and Col- gate against Tulane at New York. Dartmouth, tiled by Harvard, plays an old jinx, Yale. The Notre Dame- Navy, Pitt-Centre, Temple-Drake and West Virginia-Marquette games com- plete the intersectional slate with the Cornell - Columbia, Penn - Lafayette, Syracuse-Penn State and Bucknell- Western Maryland contests contrib-| uting to the “domestic” program. Big Ten—Michigan and Illinois; clash in the biggest game from a championship standpoint. Minneso- ta’s title hopes will be tested by Northwestern, while Ohio State plays} Indiana. Iowa meets Iowa State. Big Six—Nebraska looks for its fourth conference victory at Mis- souri’s expense, with Oklahoma play- ing Kansas. Kansas State deploys against Michigan state at East Lan- aing. . Pacific Teams Idle Pacific coast—All of the leaders have an open date except Oregon, which faces Utah of the Rocky Moun- tain group.

The football team has lost two Straight games without so much as scoring a point and Notre Dame's’ gridiron fortunes are at the lowest ebb they have known in many a harvest moon, but truth compels the observation that the effects appear less seri- ous to those within than to a host of others outside the uni- versity. Notre Dame still has its head up on the gridiron and the cam- pus, its loyalty to the team un- diminished by the shock of a los- ing “streak” and the feeling that something yet may be pulled out of the current wreck. Nothing is fundamentally wrong with the picture asa whole.

It was the breaks of the game that accounted in a large measure for the 1:wo touchdowns, but those two touch- downs represented the difference be- tween the embattled gridiron gladia- tors who gave 8,000 spectators all of the thrills of the traditional game when the Coyotes and the Jackrab- bits meet, skies with just enough ‘chilly tang in ihe weather to add heat to the occa- sion. The first touchdown came in the second quarter when Sherwood fum- bled on his own seven-yard line fol- towing an exchange of punts.

D., Oct, 30.—(}— North Dakota university and the State Agricultural college battled to a 7 to 7 tie here Saturday in a bitterly contested game that had few thrills for the Sioux homecomers, Both scores came in the first half and what honors there were in the second session went to the Bison, who made the only scoring gesture, nar- rowly missing a second touchdown when a pass was grounded in the end zone. * Although snow fell here Saturday morning the field was swept clean be- fore the contest started. About 5,000 persons witnessed the engagement. Wind Hampers Punting Inability to punt againts the stiff wind kept the Bison deep in their own territory throughout the first quarter and led to the university's touchdown. After stopping ® Sioux drive inches short of a score, the Bison took the ball and Gertels dropped back to punt. His kick was partially blocked and came down on the eight-yard line where the university took the ball. Charbonneau went three yards on & line plunge, then handed the ball to Neuenschwander on a reverse and the Jatter circled the Bison right end for the touchdown. Captain Ralph Pierce place-kicked the extra point. An intercepted pass that gave the Bison the ball on the university 41- yard line early in the second quarter started the Fargoans off on their touchdown bid. Schollander made three yards on the first play but the Sioux line braced and threw back the next two Bison attempts. Hanson Scores for Bison On fourth down, Schollander toss- ed a pass to the speedy Frits Hanson. He took it on the Sioux 20-yard line and outran Falgren, lone university defender, to go over for the score. Schollander place-kicked the tying it. A 20-yard run by Schollander to the university 32-yard line put the Bison in scoring territory near the end of the half, but the university line smothered the threat. The Sioux made one brief drive midway in. the third period with Charbonneau plunging through the Bison line for two successive first downs, but Neuenschwander fumbled and Schranz recovered for State on the 30-yard line. . ‘Thomas, Bison center, intercepted a university pass early in the last quar- ter that gave the Aggies the ball on the university 38-yard line. They went to the 26, then Schollander toss- ed a pass to Gertels who ran to the Sioux 12-yard line befcre he was stop- ped by Pierce.
