THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1935 Gopher Tron Men’ SMITH, LEVOIR AND BRISE ENGAGE IN 15 STRAIGHTVICTORES, 34 Deaths Fullback Is Able Successor to| Plungers Like Joesting, Nagurski, Manders BABE IS ALL-AROUND BACK, Pair of 220-Pound Tackles; Form Backbone of Nation’s Top Ranking Line Minneapolis, Nov. 12.—()—Playing through 22 consecutive games of vars- ity football without tasting defeat, three stellar members of Minnesota's galloping Gophers are nearing the end of ‘their playing days, leaving be- hind a brilliant trail. They are the “iron men” trio of the Fleet Bison Backs Race to Victory Over O Football Fatalities Show Increase; Attributed to Gridiron Trio Plays in 22 Games Without Defea maha University, 20 SSCHRANZ GETS TWO. | COUNTERS, PASSES: current contender for another Big Ten and mythical national cham- plonship and 60 minutes of hard, bruising football is their idea of a bracing week-end tonic. When Minnesota defeated Iowa last Saturday, it was the 22nd consecutive| game without a reverse and the 15th straight win for Sheldon Beise, 200- pound fullback; Dick Smith, 220- pound tackle, and Babe Levoir, “Handy-Andy” of the backfield. The Gophers were tied four times in 1933. Inherent Power Beise, regular fullback for the past three years, is an able successor to the line of Gopher plungers of the last decade—Herb Joesting, Bronko Nagur- ski and Jack Manders, Stan Kostka, the human battering ram, shared fullback duties last year with Beise but seldom started a game. Smith and Ed Widseth, another 220- pounder, at the tackles, form the backbone of the line, rated one of the strongest in the country. Minnesota's forward wall has been the determin- ing factor in the close-fought games, with its powerful charge wearing out the opposing line to let the Gopher backs slip through for the deciding points. Levoir, up to the time he took over the quarterback duties of Captain Glenn Seidel, who suffered a broken collarbone in the Tulane game this fall, had been termed as “to good to be a regular.” Levoir was equally effective at quarterback, fullback, or half, and Head Coach Bernie Bierman used him as the ace replacement. He and Beise are rated as the two best block- ers on the squad. Great Quarterback Captain Seidel, one of the best quar- terbacks in Minnesota history, also played in every game of the past three} seasons until forced out in the Tulane encounter. George Roscoe, triple threat 195- pounder, who has alternated at left and right half this year, also played in the majority of thi mes but missed a scant few while understudy to Pug Lund, twice named All-America left half. The Gophers still have Michigan and Wisconsin in their path, Incidentally, no member of the present Gopher squad ever has played in a losing game under the Maroon and Gold. But to Beise, Smith and Levoir, each of the last two engagements are “just another game. S are poised but never “ That is the Bierman system. Sports Round-Up (By the Associated Press) New York, Nov. 12.—(4)—Duke and North Carolina meet this week in the big game of the season for both teams, and the winner may depend on what} Mr. R. K. Courtney of Lenoir, N. C., decides to do about it. Courtney is a self-styled one man jinx of Duke football teams . . » He has followed them around the country for years, but has never seen one win. . . So sure fire is his hoodoo over the Blue Devils that Lenoir bettors, when placing wagers on Duke, often have persuaded Courtney to stay at home. . . . The final score al- ways favored the Duke backers, Courtney would like very much to see next Saturday's battle royal at Durham . . . particularly since he has been offered hotel accommoda- tions, free transportation and a ticket to the game by North Carolina sup- porters who count on a victory over Duke to pave the way to the Rose Bowl. . . . But if Duke loses again, half the citizenry would blame it on on the Courtney jinx... . That gent Ps on the spot... . . What would you 2 .
