THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER Y, 1933 Bison, Seeking Second Place in Conference, Leave for Vermilion WILLBATTLE SOUTH DAKOTA IN CLOSING CONTEST SATURDAY’ Aggies Have Not Lost to Coy-; otes in Five Years Under Finnegan | { | { EXPECT TOUGH STRUGGLE! Great Showing of Leo Gerteis and Leonard House Is Encouraging Fargo, N. D., Noy. 9—With second place in the North Central conference football race as a goal, 20 gridders from North Dakota Agricultural col- lege left Thursday morning with Coaches C. C. Finnegan and Bob Lowe for Vermilion, where Saturday after- noon they face their last conference op- ponent in Coach Stanley Backman's Coyotes of South Dakota university. Not in the last five years, since “Casey” Finnegan took over the head coaching duties at the Fargo college, have the Bison lost to the Coyotes. However, in 1933, iz. football upsets are common and South — y's talented array of | not been able to click together as yet, may hit a fine stride against the Dakotans. | "The remarkable improvement in the; Bison attack, climaxed in last Satur- | day's 20-0 victory over Moorhead | ‘Teachers’ Dragons, has largely been; due to improved signal calling with Leo Gerteis, a sophomore, at the quar- terback post, Coach Finnegan says. It was Gerteis’ second game at signal barking, he having turned in an ex- cellent directing game against North Dakota university. Another factor that has aided the} ‘Bison cause, Coach Finnegan says, has been the return of Wendell Scholland- | er, junior, one of the conference's out- standing passers and a fine runner and blocker during the last two con- tests. Schollander’s passing paved the way for nearly all the Bison touch- downs in the last two games. Still playing a remarkable close de- fensive football is the North Dakota line, which has thus far allotted four touchdowns in eight games.

Rockne crashed to his tragic death almost three years ago broke his long | silence as his wistful eyes peered | out of a veritable pile of tele- grams and letters on his desk. But he didn’t reply or attack his critics. Instead, he talked of loyalty—the loyalty of Notre Dame's alumni. “These are trying days for No- tre Dame football and for me,” Coach Heartly “Hunk” Anderson spoke up, “but when I'm through with the game I'll never forget these.” “There are telegrams and let- ters from all over the country in that pile,” he continued. “They are proof that the greatest, finest bunch of alumni that ever trod on a campus are those of Notre | Dame. Kickers? There isn’t one { in a thousand! and hope. Instead of point- ing out faults, these alumni of No- tre Dame send messages of cheer ‘Keep your chin up,’ ‘don’t let ‘em get you down,’ and ‘we're all for you.’ That's what those letters and telegrams say. And you can just tab it in your hat that they provide the inspir- ation of a lifetime to a fellow who happens to need some inspiration Tight now.” Notre Dame, blanked the last three games, expects another de- feat by Purdue Saturday, but one would never guess it. ents, who turned out almost to the last man to cheer the team last Sunday on its return from the Navy defeat, are excited and Plan the season's largest meeting Friday night. With fav- orable weather between 40,000 and 45,000 are expected, the largest crowd at Notre Dame since the memorable game against South- ern California in 1931. ___ Visions of New Athletic ‘Big Four’ Loyalty of Notre Dame’s Alumni Cheers Heartly ‘Hunk’ Anderson: plete Quartet i.

Pug has carried the ball this season almost as many, times as the other regulars and the substi- tutes combined. In five games he was given the ball 132 times. His average gain per try was 4.7 yards. ¥ With an open date Saturday, the coaches are grooming at least two understudies for Lund. One is George Roscoe. The sketch is of NEWTON D. BAKER.

Grand Forks-Minot Grid Tilt Canceled Grand Forks, N. D., Nov. 9.—(?)— Many a football dream has been shat- tered by the age-old “injury jinx” but. Grand Forks high school’s Maroons encountered a new form of tough luck to close their 1933 season. Regarded as one of central’s great- est elevens, the Maroons were just reaching the height of their power when a series of incidents forced the cancellation of three major contests. The last three, a game with Minot scheduled for Armistice Day here, was weather. Previously a contest with Thief River Falls was postponed because of an automobile mishap which prevent- ed the Prowlers from coming here. The game was re-scheduled and then cancelled because of a snow storm, and a contest with Moorhead met a similar fate.
