Before the season opened, Minne- sota, an almost all-vetcran combina- tion which went through the 1933 campagin without a defeat, was made the favorite in the Big Ten race. Nothing has happened since then to Jower the Gophers’ ratin Pittsburgh, with a soul-satisfying 20 to 6 victory over Southern Califor- nia racked up. is being hailed as the best in the East. Minnesota, by playing four ties last year, missed a chance for national recognition, but also took care of Pittsburgh's chances by handing the Panthers their only defeat. 7 to 3, at Minneapolis early in the season. Bierman Scouted Pitt Coach Bernie Bierman of Minnesota saw Pitt blister the Trojans, and Monday put his squad to work on de- fense measures for Panther passes and running plays. The Gopher attack has shown ter- rific power in two games this season, being marred only by fumbles. This fault apparently was ironed out last week as Pug Lund, George Rennix. Stan Kostka. Sheldon Biese and the other backs handled the ball cleanly in_ practice. Injuries to Captain Russ Fisher and Herman Schneidman, regular backs, in the Nebraska game, caused Coach Ossie Solem to start rebuilding the Iowa backfield. Fisher suffered a knee injury, and Schneidman a dis- located shoulder which may keep him out for the balance of the season. Purdue also had casualty troubles, with its ace back, Duane Purvis, suf- + fering with a recurrence of an ankle injury. Need Replacements At Indiana Coach Bo MeMillin of Indiana start- ed a search to locate capable replace- ments for the Chicago game, and the Maroons, although victorious over Michigan, went back to hard work as Clark Shaughnessy demanded more speed and polish on offense. Wisconsin stressed running plays in opening driils for Saturday's en- gagement with Purdue, At Ohio State, Francis Schmidt riled his men to smooth up the of- fense, seeking more variety for use against Colgate. The Michigan squad was given only a light workout and Harry Kipke indicated there would be no special preparation for Georgia h. Bob Zupke gave the Illinois squad ® holiday, and Northwestern still was en route from Stanford. U.N. D. Opposes Jackrabbits in Homecoming Tilt 4,000 Returning Alumni Ex. pected to Watch 1934 Sioux Gridiron Machine Grand Forks, N. D., Oct, 16—Intent on one purposc—beating South Da- kota State—the Fighting Sioux of the University of North Dakota will scur- ry through their practice sessions this week with a vengeance to make their annual homecoming celebration Sat- urday a compleiz success. It was South Dakota State last year that sent the University sliding down @ greased pole, 18-2, the worst defeat suffered by the Nodaks since the ad- ‘vent of Coach Jack West seven years ago, After losing that title, the Sioux could only tic North Dakota State and was trounced by Morningside, 6-0. More than 4,000 alumni are expect- ed to trek back to the University cam- pus this week-end to partake of the gala ceremonies. Banquets, pep ral- ries, parades, a tug-of-war, freshmen football game, and a huge homecom- ing dance are all part of the program planned by Frank Webb, alumni sec- retary, and Donn Hart, student home- coming chairman. State Offense Feared With South Dakota State's Jack- Tabbits featuring the fastest offense in the North Central Conference, the University team has its work cut out. State is reputed to have the four speediest backfield men ever to play on one conference team, and it re- mains for the Sioux ends and tackles to curb their drives around thé flanks, while the Nodak backs will have their hands full in attempting to break up the Jackrabbits’ Passing attack. vaunted The University’s defense has been little short of amazing to date, espe- cially Positions. Louis Chumich and Mar- tin Gainor, regular tackles, are the gridders in mina. Their performances have bordered on the spectacular and together with Falgren and Smart, ) ends, Goethel and Gehrke, guards, and Captain Len Sauer, center, they have formed a stone wall on defense.

Keeping his players in condition probably brings more gray hair to his head than muttering of curbstone coaches. Football is a game of ruggedness and speed, and if there is one thing more important than any other it is that the player be in tiptop shape at all times. Generally a coach has his play- ers in condition by the time the first couple of games have been played. This is absolutely necessary, as fig- ures prove that susceptibility to in- juries is increased 50 per cent dur- ing the first few games of the sea- son, due to lack of training. Early conditioning systems of coach- es differ. Football is a matter of get- ting around on the fect, and for that reason I believe running is one of the finest exercises. Dumbbells, In- dian clubs, or barbells are detrimen- tal, because their use tends to make the athlete muscle bound. Rope skipping is too concentrated and will affect the heart if kept up. Of late years many coaches have adopted the practice of having their Players run through boxes or old automobile tires. This tends to make them shifty, creates a sense of bal- ance, and at the same time exercises ankles against shocks which come in actual competition. Need Plenty of Sleep Plenty of sleep probably is one of the most important requirements of the average coach. Here the men- tor puts his players on their honor, and it is up to the boys to keep their hours. It can be remarked here that the fellow who observes the rules and keeps clean habits usually has the inside track with the coach. The boy who conscientiously trains may get farther in the game with less natural ability than stars who gen- erally are far less dependable. A football player should have a’ minimum of eight or nine hours’ sleep to be at his best. Of course, some boys require more than others, and many of these are the fellows whose spare time is taken up work- ing their way through school. High schcol boys are called on to Perform without real knowledge of what training is, and these are the Players who need sleep, must lay off | OUT OUR WAY WATCH OUT, ICK! THET MULE'S Got A HUMP IN HIS BACK, UKE HE WANTS TO BUCK,DON'T LET HIM GIT ‘CONDITION OF FOOTBALL SQUAD’ COACHES’ GREATEST PROBLEM New Goat Dynasty Reigns Navy Bench Annapolis, Md., Oct. 16—(#)}— A new goat dynasty has been founded at the Naval Academy. King Bill IV, Navy's handy mascot for ycars, has passed on to the animal kingdom's happy hunt- ing grounds, and his two heirs, softened by a life of ease, are not robust enough to carry their fath- er’s mantle. So a tough youngster from the western plains has been summoned to become King Bill V. His din- gy white coat covered by a gold robe, trimmed in blue and with a large gold “N,” King Bill roams to sidelines near the Navy bench at football games. “Bring on that Army mule,” says King Bill V. —— ——<—_—_— smoking, watch their diets, and ex- ee Properly to become stars of the future. Diet Also Important After a player is once in condition, the question of diet is one of the least important, but if he is under- weight or overweight, diet plays an important part. Meat, vegetables, salads, and plen- ty of milk make up a diet for the boy @ little to light. Running and walk- ing will turn the overweight boy's flabby fat into muscle. In either case, avoid rich, starchy or greasy foods, and sweet things. There was a time when football Players were fed on a diet of meat three times a day, with potatoes, bread and butter. I recall in my high school days when our coach told us to eat plenty of meat and potatoes, but to keep away from fruits and sal Today the average training table fonsists of a varied assortment of foods—meat perhaps once or twice @ day, including chicken and turkey (not fried), plenty of fruits and sal- ads, and vegetables of every nature. Ice cream is not taboo, and the average coach even allows pie a la mode at times, especially if ‘his team has won on Saturday and he happens, to be in a jubilant mood. Milk is a very essential part of the diet. I generally check closely to- ward the end of the week, in cases where the boys have a tendency to| become fat, to hold their weights down, Our boys are allowed penty of milk, but along about Thursday they are confined to one glass a meal. mm YOURE m TELLING ME Both Madison Square Garden and Chicago are offering Barney Ross $30,000 to defend his lightweight title against Tony Canzoneri next month. . . .

Nodak Yearlings Defeat Winnipeg Take 13-6 Lead Under Ameri- can Rules; Hold One-Point Margin as Game Ends Winnipeg, Oct. 16.—(#)—In a wide open football game featuring an aer- jal attack behind two strong bucking lines with both teams adding bril- liant broken field running ‘and an occasional disastrous fumble, the University of North Dakota Fresh- men defeated the “Winnipegs” 21-20 here Monday night. The victory was the Freshmen’s second of their two games scheduled, having defeated University of Man- itoba Bisons Saturday, 31-0. As American rules prevailed in the first half the Nodak’s trotted to a 13-6 lead and battled gallantly as the Winnipegs came back in the re- maining play to deadlock the score 20-20 midway in the final quarter. However, the plucky students forced Play into Winnipeg's area and a long punt by Gordon Burich to the dead- line accounted for a one-point mar- gin of victory in the final minutes. Then Clem Letich’s Green and White Players successfully warded off the Pegs’ desperate aerial attack as the final whistle blew. Chalk Up 10 First Downs Under their own method of play in the first half the visitors moved ‘the yard sticks ten times and tossed one forward which accounted for a touchdown while the local gained 97 yards from the three completed for- wards in ten trys and made only six first downs. The first touchdown came when Ed Roarvig, Alvin Ross and Cliff Monsrud cracked the peg line for gains. Roarvig plunged over the line He's ‘BOUT OUTER \ ‘BOUT OUTER TAKE.

The touch- down went unconverted. Entering the Canadian game, North Dakota resorted to an aerial attack which foiled the locals for some time. On a misplay in the Winnipeg back- field, Marvin Johnson scooped up the ball and raced 28 yards for a gifted touchdown. After a long forward by Rebholz the Winnipegs were awarded the oval a few yards from the North Dakota goal line. On the second play, Herb Mob- berly lushed over for his teammates’ second counter and the convert was blocked.

While the Dean brothers were put- ting on their splendid show in De- troit and St. Louis, Ruth, who was head man in 10 world series, had to issue a typewritten announcement of his definite retirement as a player to attract what little attention was paid him. Ruth’s influence made life miser- able for pitchers and infielders. The Bam's bat revolutionized baseball— took the inside out of it. It required a pitcher with the ebility and diamond presence of Dean te swing the pendulum the other way. As the ball was hopped up for Ruth and the synthetic Ruths it created, you may next season look for it to be deadened to increase the effectiveness of the Deans, Rowe, Gomez, Schumacher, Hubbell, Warn- eke, Bridges, Harder, and some more who helped bring back the old style geme. As a matter of fact, the ball wasn’t nearly as lively and the seams were raised during the last two months of the 1934 grind. The pre- ponderance of low-hit games is un- deniable proof of this. More Genuine Homers in 1935 Home runs will be more genuine in 1935, and consequently worthy of more than a yawn. Batsmen will have to do something else beside swing from Vladivostok. They'll have to be able to hit behind runners, drag the ball and bunt. The art of base stealing is to be revived, and the sign for the squeeze and other plays that once delighted the fan egain will be hung out. * Many baseball men have been clamoring for the return of this for a decade, but it Fomatnag the amazing. Dean to bring . More than that, old Diz re-estab- shed the old-time fight. It was the Oklahoman’s burning ambition tn win—to chut the other fellow out, if possigle—that inspired the Card- icals in their hell-for-leather, spike flashing drive down the stretch and through the world series. The success of the three incredible hicks—the Deans and Rowe, will fire the imagination of the youngsters of the land. As they picked up bats and started swinging for long ones with the advent of Ruth, they now will grab gloves and practice sharpe! up that round-house curve. For Dizzy Dean has brought base- ball back to normalcy—back to some- thing more like it was from Cy Young’s day to Alex's adolescence, when Waddell, Donovan, Joss, Matty, Brown, Walsh, Bender, Plank, and Coombs, Wood, Marquard, and John- son handcuffed the opposition during which period J. Franklin Baker was called “Home Run” for adding two in the world series to ® season's total of nine. Once Greatest Attraction Ruth’s big stick and personality made him the most magnetic attrac- tion in the history of the business. ‘The crowd wanted to see him blast home runs, The magnates wanted to please the crowd, and sought more Ruths. The latter were unobtain- able, so the owners manufactured spurious sluggers by stimulating the sphere to such an extent that pitch- ers and infielders needed ramparts, Fences were moved in.

Dizzy Dean became the biggest mame in the sport in the closing weeks of the National League cam- paign and cemented himself as such in_ baseball's fall fashion show. He has it all, this raw-boned chap from the cotton fields. His is innate showmanship. He has the knack of doing the unusual, the gift of gab, and a flair for publicity, and what is more important competitive in- stinct, cunning, and the finest pitch- ing arm extant with which to make good his good-natured boasts.

Memories of the ast Gopher powder plant, the 1927 eleven, may fade almost into obscurity if Minne- sota keeps the faith with all the compliments directed its way. The Panthers, too, if advices are correct, pack a killer punch. A wide spread of talent in the Panther backfield, behind a seasoned line, is matched with Minnesota's own plunging Pug Lund and a set of battering companions, with a tearing line in front—all pointing to fire and brimétone in the Pitt stadium shortly.
