Opening the regular schedules this week-end are Fargo and Valley City with Minot, Devils Lake and James- town joining December 7. and Bis- marck and Mandan following a week later. Around two velerans—Tom Mack- enroth, forward, and Don Pepke, all-state guard—Coach Harley Rob- ertson is moulding his state cham- pionship defense. The outlook is fair. He is emphasizing fundamentals and expects to get a test of his ma- chine in action December 7 when a doubleheader matches the Magicians against Granville and Minot's Leo aggregations. Fargo, always 2 threat in the state race, opens an 18-game sched- ule against Madison, Minn., home town of the Midget coach, Henry L. Rice. Like Minot, Fargo has only two lettermen working out, but some of last year's reserve material looks promising. The monogram men are Art Olson and Cavour Shepard. Lakers Search for Center A great, big vacancy at center where Harold Reslock, high scoring center, stood last year, is the chief worry of Coach Doug Smith at Dev- ils Lake.

Both ranging over six feet tall, but lacking experience, Mflo Ander- son and Marcell Fredericksen are competing with Duane Westerholm, letterman reserve center, for the pivot post. The lettermen are Vern Melhouse, Robert Gilliland ana Evans, forwards; William Burck- hard, Gordon Dennis and Ralpn Jensen, guards. Devils Lake opens against Stark- ‘weather. Prospects at Jamestown are fair with Head Coach William Gussner whittling his team out of a squad or 50 men who reported for opening Practice. The team wiil be streng- thened by the return of Glen Baker and Ralph Richmond, now out with football injuries. With five capable lettermen—Wil- liam MecCosh, James Sletten, Ber- nard Diemert, Sig Erickson and Don Gibson—Coach Joseph Rognstad ex- pects to have a threatening team in the state tournament next March. ‘The Hi-Liners play their first games with Eckelson and Sanborn. Bix lettermen from last year's squad are available at Bismarck, Coach McLeod's chief problem be- ing in the selection of a center. The veterans are Captain Billy Owens and Bud Kanz, guards; John Cam- ron, Ollie Sorsdahl, James McGui- ness, and Neil Croonquist, forwards. Cage ou at Mandan begin after ving.

They will be held in readiness for next year by the iron-gray haired mentor of his alma mater’s foot- ball elevens. He has the plays, but: more important, his squads are soundly grounded in fundamentals. That, he insists, in the rare mom- ents when he talks football with Persons other than the players, is the basis of a winning team. Each man must know how and when to block. The 1934 squad did and it captured the title. Last year Bierman drilled his meri on blocking, tackling, and timing incessantly. Though unbeaten, Min- nesota was tied four times. Virtual- ly the same team was back this year and less time was spent on the fundamentals. Practice was devoted to polishing the plays and ball han- dling. Stan Kostka, Minnesota's smash- ing alternate fullback, is probably ® better line plunger than Sheldon Beise but the latter started mest games because he was a shade bet- ter at blocking than Kostka. Bierman demands speed and de- ception in ball handling. After learn- ing fundamentals thoroughly, the team practices speed and ball han- dling continually. Bierman squads scrimmage little generally.

Psychology Mixed in ‘The Gopher mentor has been call- ed a master strategist. But more than that he is something of a psy- chologist. He plans and utilizes a team to fit its abilities and he dis- Played a faculty this year partic- ularly, of keeping the squad on an even keel throughout the season, Preventing over-confidence, jealous- jes, and staleness. When he coached Tulane, his Green Wave elevens always walked onto the field. Here, he sends the team out at a trot. Bierman says the southern player is more high strung than those in the north and to send them running out on the field, might upset the calm that all winning teams must have. Never loud spoken, the Gopher coach talks quietly to the squad between halves. Sarcastic in practice, if need be, he merely points out mistakes, tells the Players how to correct them, and in- stills confidence in them during the rest period of a game. He never resorts to “Go out and die for dear old Minnesota” stufr. The day before leaving for Pitts- burgh he told the players they could whip the Panthers. Between halves, he told them that and little else. And the team, with the same cool- ness of its coach, went out and re- sumed kioking on second down as 18 had during the first half. When the time came, it struck swift and hard for two touchdowns and a vic- tory in the final period. Kept Passing Attack in Dark Though the Gophers seldom re- Tt was practiced daily but few pass- es were thrown in actual competi- tion. Two plays used for the first time in the last game of the season against Wisconsin, resulted in touch- downs yet Minnesota had them ready from virtually the opening of the campaign. One was a forward pass to a tackle, who in the Wisconsin game happened to be Dick Smith at the time. The other was & run from a fake placekick formation. Babe Le- Voir scored on that against the Bad- gers. With the 1934 Gophers, which, Bierman admits, had more power than this championship Tulane eleven, the Maroon and Gold gained most ground by end sweeps ana slashing off tackle plays by Julius ioe and Captain Francis (Pug) aunt The success of the Gopher game depended greatly on Seidel. A heady field general is one of the first requisites of a Bierman team and if he hasn't one, he makes one, Seidel and LeVoir were exam- Pies of this. Both were drilled daily in calling signals and when to call them. The result was some of the best quarterbacking as Minnesota team ever had, It was Seidel’s headwork that se: the stage for the winning touch- down against Pittsburgh. Three times Kostka smashed the line. The fourth time the play started just as before but it ended with a forwara to Bob Tenner, end, for a touchdown. ————— | Fights Last Night | ¢—_—_ —_____—__+ 119, Philadelphia, diew | Pablo Dano, 119, (10). Mentors “Apparently § Safe for Another Season as Foot- ball Curtain Drops Chicago, Nov. 28—(7)—Big Ten football coaches can plow into those Thanksgiving turkeys with a relish ‘Thursday. For about the first time since Pat O'Dea kicked 62-yard field goals for Wisconsin back in the gay nineties, every coach in the conference is reasonably certain of hanging onto his job—if he wants it. The anvil choruses, even Northwestern's, have been stilled and all is well along the coaches’ front. Looking over the situation by schools: Minnesota: Some rumbling of dis- content was heard last year and re- Ports once had it that Coach Bernie Bierman was in the market for a change. But Wednesday, it would take an act of the state legislature to move Bernie Bierman unless he wanted to go. He and his staff are in solid after giving Minnesota its first conference title since 1915 ana its first undisputed championship since 1911. Illinois: After 22 seasons, ‘Coach Bob Zuppke is a larger institution than ever at Illinois. Friends ana enemies alike consider his 1934 team, defeated only by Wisconsin and the same Pat O'Dea, his greatest mas- terpiece. Schmidt Wins Favor Ohio State: The Buckeyes, who stormed and fumed until Sam Wil- laman was deposed, are wild about Coach Francis Schmidt. Indiana: If any coach can train Indiana to beat Purdue, he’s an in- stant hit with the Hoosier alumni. Bo McMillin turned that trick last Saturday. Purdue: Coach Noble Kizer had enough troubles with injuries to make any man jump into the Wa- bash. His season was only fair, but he's still a coaching idol at Purdue.

The service teams first clashed way back in 1890, with the Midshipmen submerging the soldiers 24 to 0. ‘They've played 33 times since then with the Cadets holding a decided edge of 19 victories to 12 for the sail- ors. Three games were tied. During that span of 44 years the Navy hasn't been able to string more than three wins in a row. They did it in 1910-11-12 and again in 1919-20- 21, Since 19231 the Army has won nine of ten games, the other result- ing in a scoreless deadlock, However, the Middies won't be the underdogs when the teams line up on Franklin field in Philadelphia Satur- day before an anticipated capacity crowd of 80,000. ‘Tops’ in East While the Army-Navy game fea- tures the “dying swan” weex of one ‘of the wildest campaigns in the his- tory of college football, many teams will get in their last licks on Thanks- giving Day.

The Denhoff boys, led by Ralph Bodewin, who scored six baskets, showed more strength than expect- ed. The defensive work of Denhoff was outstanding. For Chaseley Erickson played well. In the girls game Denhoff used three complete teams, with all three proving effective. The game indicat- ed that Denhoff will have another strong team.
