- Report Bis: Bismarck Has Applied in Northern League Denied . LEAGUE OFFICIALS |Miinot, ai City May Battle for State Title in Post Season Game GRID SPOTLIGHT CENTERS ON THEM SATURDAY MISTAKE INQUIRY FOR APPLICATION No Attempt to Enter Northern Loop Has Been Made Here, Officials Say POSSIBILITIES ARE STUDIED Dispatch Stated Bismarck Would Be ‘Considered’ at Nov. 8 Meeting Report from Eau Claire, Wis., re- ceived here over Associated Press wires, to the effect that Bismarck has made application for a franchise in the Northern Baseball League is slight- ly inaccurrate, an investigation by ‘The Tribune disclosed Thursday. ‘The Associated Press story said Her- man D. White, league president, had nnounced that applications from Bismarck, International Falls, Minn., and Brandon, Man., would be con- sidered at the annual league meeting ‘on Nov, 8. ‘What apparently happened is that league officials mistook an inquiry for an application. Recently the Junior Association of Commerce, reviewing the baseball sit- uation, decided it would be good policy to. at least find out the terms on which Bismarck might have a league team and asked N. O. Churchill, local baseball leader, to help them. Made Inquiries Churchill wrote to several friends tw inquire about a hook-up with a major-league team, whereby a Bis- marck league team would become a “farm” for one of the big organiza- tions, possibly the Boston Red Sox. At the same time he inquired of Northern League officials about a franchise for Bismarck. He made it plain, however, that it was merely an inquiry, not an application. Fay Brown, chairman of the junior | ~~~" chamber committee interested in the matter, made it plain Thursday that his group is merely getting the infor- mation together and would not think of taking action until the committee of the Association of Commerce, which sponsored baseball here last year, has decided upon its plans for the future. J. P. Wagner, president of the local baseball club, made it clear that his organization has made no inquiry re- @arding a league franchise. The only consideration given such a proposal was had last summer when sponsors ot, the Jamestown League team sug- gested that they would like to give Bismarck the Jamestown franchise, including the Jamestown club. Jamestown Club Suffers Their reasons for making the offer were that the club was not doing any too well financially and the drouth had made it impossible to keep the Jamestown ball diamond in good con- dition with the result that several Players had been injured when balls took “bad hops.” This was turned down because Bis- marck already was committed to a semi-professional club and had made contracts for games which would have to be fulfilled. Wagner gave no indication as to whether the local baseball organiza- tion would look with favor upon a pro- posal to join the league. Sports Round-Up By EDDIE BRIETZ New York, Oct. 29—(4)—Ho, hum!

During his 23 years on American tracks, Garner “booted home” more! than 2,000 winners and earned well over $2,000,000.

The ranking No. 1 football eleven of the nation is the most powerful, most versatile of all Gopher teams since they started their amazing win- streak of 28 games without “defeat four years ago. No previous thundering herd can match this devastating squad in run- ning, blocking, passing or power. Extravagant, perhaps, but that was the opinion expressed by qualified ob- servers who have followed the for- tunes of Minnesota’s gridiron war- fare. The team, welded together by that grey-haired football strategist, Ber- nard William Bierman, is a perfectly trained eleven, so adept at charging and blocking ahead of its ball carriers that a runner can actually he shot through the line of scrimmage and be free to pitch @ lateral pass before he can be smashed to the ground. Best Rounded Team in Game The gophers are called the best rounded team in footbal! with a sound on offense, Minnesota's run- passing defenders. Besides being sound on offense, Minensota’s run- ning attack is outstanding, and its Passing attack dependable and dan- gerous. The Minnesota half-backs and other defensive players are not! taught just to knock down passes. They are taught to intercept and then run forward. And all of them are likely to grab a pass and gallop away for a touchdown any time. By its victories over Washington, Nebraska, Michigan and Purdue, Min- nesota convincingly demonstrated its|' marvelous power and versatility. The!” Gophers piled up a total of 80 points against 7 for their opponents, gained in total yards 1,084 to 591, made 46 first downs to 28, amassed 896 yards from scrimmage to 396 for their foes. Unheralded Sophomores You've read about Andy Uram, Vin- cent Spadaccini, Julius Alfonse, Bill Matheny, Tuffy Thompson, Whitman Rork, Rudy Gmitro and others whose performances have been heralded in the Gophers’ winning stride, but you haven't heard much about the oth- ers—five sophomores who seem to be just as able and spectacular as the veterans. They are Larry Buhler, Wilbur Moore, George Faust, Ray Bates and Harold Wrightson. Buhler, @ 200-pounder, 6 feet 2 inches tall, was switched from halfback to full- back, with experts predicting he will] - rank with Joesting, Nagurski, Man- ders and Beise, Gopher fullbacks of other years. Moore rates as a coming star of the first magnitude. He weighs 175 pounds, is 5 feet 11 inches tall, and has the speed of a sprinter. Faust is @ reserve halfback.

H. Benson's Laureate II by a short head for place. With the victory of Bailey’s three- year-old brown colt by Bulger—the Ram’s Wife} the big payoff of more than $8,000,000 in the Irish Sweep- stakes tickets was started. The winner of the 1%sth miles test, ridden by Weston, was handicapped at 111 pounds. Daytona, held at 33 to 1 in the betting, carried 117 pounds, and Laureate IT, 100 to 6, was handi- capped at 98 pounds.

Mr. Hanna agrees to the Minot pro- posal of holding the game at Minot but wants the game moved up from November 14 to Nov. 7 and thereby ibe necessary cancellation with James- wn, Valley City authorities feel that the November 14 date would be unfair to Valley City because it would give Mi- not two weeks of rest after the Wil- liston game while the Hi-Liners would be playing a tough game against Jamestown.

BOTH TEAMS HAVE SEVEN VICTORIES, REMAIN UNBEATEN Jamestown Holds Third Place in Unofficial State Prep Standings (By the Associated Press) : Prep school football is taking on a new interest in the state this fall with possibilities of matching Minot and Valley City, only two undefeated ma- jor gridiron elevens, in a champion- ship battle for the unofficial high school grid title, providing both teams close their regular schedules unde- feated. Coach Glen Jarrett’s Minot Magic- jans have only tite Williston Coyotes ahead of them and a string of seven successive victories with their goal line uncrossed, scoring 366 points. The Magicians and Coyotes have been football foes since days of Joe Cut- ting’s championship elevens and Coach Johnny Mach will try everything Fri- day to give the Minoters a real con- test. The Valley City Hi-Liners still have two more hurdles, facing Bismarck Friday and winding up the season with Jamestown Armistice Day. Coach Joe Rognstad is seeking to cancel the Jamestown game hoping Minot will approve a game with the Hi-Liners November 7, instead of the 14th as has been suggested, giving both teams @ week's rest. With Bismarck on the bottom of the Major League heap, the Hi-Liners should have little trouble in scoring their eighth consecutive vic- tory. They previously defeated James- With the season winding to a close, the Jamestown Blue Jays stand third in line with five victories and two @efeats. Hazen, Hillsboro, Underwood and Fessenden are among the schools who are undefeated in the Class “‘B” division, while Hettinger has drop- ped only one game in six.

From the looks of things, the pro- gram, headed by Auburn's intersec- tional tussle with Santa Clara and the Minnesota-Northwestern tangle, promises as heavy firing at the un- beaten lists, but with probably more devastating toll, than any yet this season. Hard on Records With all due respect to the fire- works packed in the Auburn-Santa Clara and Minnesota-Northwestern engagements, bringing together four unbeaten outfits, the list shows enough other tough ones to make it certain that the decrease in perfect records will be as big as in the last two terrific week-ends.
