Tied 7 to 7 Last Year . Both teams have won early-season games by top-heavy scores, the Braves tramping over St. Mary's 34 to 0 in their opener and following it up with @ 58 to 7 rout of Linton—which a week ,previously held Bismarck to a score- Jess tie, while Valley City unlimbered with a 63 to 0 inaugural conquest of Enderlin and a 52 to 0 triumph over Grafton, The two elevens battled to a 7 to 7 tie at Valley City last year. Minor injuries that may keep Del Simpson, heralded as the flashiest back a Mandan grid team has had in many years, and two other halfbacks on the sidelines are not making the outlook for the Mandan squad any brighter. Simpson has missed sev- eral practice sessions this week be- cause of an aggravation of an old in- jury. Also on the bench have been Don Smith and Broderick, both half- backs, In an effort to repair his back- field losses Coach McMahon has shifted Lehman, formerly @ guard, to halfback and may use him there to- night. Same Lineup Mandan’s starting lineup will be practically the same as that which started the first two games except for vacancies caused by injuries, and will probably find Schweigert and Uhl- man at ends; Patterson and Knoll, tackles; Youngblutt and Boehm, guards; Toman, center; Friesz, quar- terback; Smith and Simpson, or House and Broderick, halfbacks; and Campos, fullback. Valley City’s probable starting line- up will be: Olson and Grey, ends; Messner and Treglawny, tackles; Mc- Intyre and Myrhow, guards; Dibbern, center; Carter, quarterback; Scott and Erickson, halfbacks; and Willey, full- back. Wolverine Rooters See Improved Club ‘Michigan Gridiron Health, After Two Poor Years, Shows Continued Improvement Chicago, Sept. 24.—(7)—Michigan's ‘Wolverine, ailing for the last two sea- sons, appears to be regaining its foot- ball health. Michigan, which suffered the most ‘woeful season in its gridiron history in . 1934, but showed definite signs of im- Provement last year, apparently is about to make a further gain toward the power that characterized the ehampionship elevens of 1930-31-32-33. Coach Harry Kipke’s veterans are be- ing pushed for jobs by the best soph- more group in several years. ‘The Wolverine varsity uncorked a polid scoring punch Wednesday in the Mirst scrimmage of the practice sea- gon, Using a wide variety of plays, ‘they worked the second stringers for four touchdowns. . ‘Mlinots Back Sensational At Illinois, Wib Henry, a star back for the past two seasons who has been kept in the background by soph- ‘mores this fall, performed sensation- with the reserves against the var- ‘@ity in scrimmage.

The Gophers, with 24 lettermen available, will have the fastest back- field and heaviest line in Minnesota's | history. They will need all their finesse and potent blocking, however, to go through unscarred against Washing- ton at Seattle Saturday and then in order Nebraska, Michigan, Purdue, Northwestern, Iowa, University of Texas and Wisconsin. Line Averages 200 Pounds The line averages just over 200 pounds from end to end and when replacements are made the average, strange as it’ seems, will be close to 210 pounds. But is Bierman happy? Not a bit. “I had hoped to be ready for that opener against Washington,” mourn- ful Bernie said, “but the boys just haven't been blocking and hitting the way they should. Look out for those Huskies.” .

Bierman can keep pouring in such fast backs as “Tuffy” Thompsen, Rudy Gmitro, Bill Matheny, Wilbur Moore and others, Alfonse, who in two years of var- sity play has never had to call for time out, led the powerful 1934 eleven with an average of 8.4 yards per try} from scrimmage.

New York, Sept. 24.—()}—The more or less nerve-wracking approach of the New York Giants to the world series with the neighboring Yankees finds the dramatic outlook somewhat reminiscent of the last of three base- ball wars fought out on opposite banks of the Harlem river in 1928. Then, as now, in a,manner of speaking it was “brains versus brawn.” | In other words, the record-smashing power in Yankee bats will be pitted against the resources of the best de- fensive club in big league baseball. Instead of the battle of wits be- tween the most famous of all master minds, John Joseph McGraw, and the greatest of all sluggers, Babe Ruth, this year’s affray finds a pupil of the old master, William Harold Terry, devising strategy to meet the slug- ging ensemble led by Larruping Lou Gehrig, the new home run king.
