ul Willey and Treglawney Named From Hi-Liners’ Unofficial N. D.Champs Minot, Rugby, Cando, Park River, Grand Forks, Fessenden, Jamestown, Fargo, Fairmount Land Players on First Eleven (By The Associated Press) All-state honors were accorded eight small school gridiron stars in an unprecedented poll of North Dakota coachese who named five players from Class B teams on the first eleven by wide majorities. It was the first time in history of the all-state high school poll that coaches gave small school gridders a heavy vote, naming three on the second string and selecting 16 of 26 for honorable mention, besides thei: r first squad coaches, Thirty-four coaches who participated in the ninth annual | poll, conducted by the Associated Press, nominated approxi- mately 150 players to honorary gridiron positions. A tabula- tion of votes for the first eleven positions represents ten | schools while gridders of nine the second string. Further strengthening Valley City’s |~ > claim to the unofficial gridiron title, coaches placed two of Joe Rognstad’s victorious Hi-liners on the first eleven | and two in runner-up positions. It} | was the only duplication of schools | on the first squad while on the | ond string two Minot men were chosen. j | Willey Named Captain | Leading the field of stars was Ken- | neth Willey of Valley City, who gar- nered more votes than any other play- er and was captain of the first team. He is the only gridder of 1936 to hold top all-sfate honors for two con- secutive years, although Monnes, Mi- not guard, member of the 1935 team, | was awarded a second squad berth.) The five Class B gridders selected : for the first eleven clinched both | f wing positions, tackle and center berths in the line, and the fullback | } post. Previously only two Class B! players have succeeded in rating the | ; top mythical eleven in any one year.; Luverne ul, 180-pound Rugby end, described as an “ace defensive; man,” and Frank Primeau, Cando’s giant prep school athlete who has mastered that all-important job of grabbing passes, were named for wing positions in the line which av- erages more than 170 pounds. Prim- eau, the tallest player on the team, is six feet four inches. Jensen at Center Rudolph Jensen, sturdy Park River center. who gathered a heavy vote from coaches in both divisions, was selected for the pivot post. Flank- ing Jensen are two husky guards,}. . . Gordon Setterlund of Grand Forks and Harry Treglawaney of Valley City, stubborn defensive men and good blockers. Edgar Lechner, Fessenden, and Allen Weise, Jamestown, bulwark taclsles on their respective teams, who showed both speed and outstanding blocking ability, complete the first string line. In the backfield, Dennis Huntley, heady field general of Coach Glenn Jarrett's Minot Magicians and a brilliant broken field runner, receiv- ed the tall at quarterback. He weighs 155 pounds and is the lightest man on the mythical club. Willey was named halfback. His running mate is Eugene Fuller, Fargo halfback, who closed an outstanding season with Harry Bridgeford’s Mid- gets and garnered a big vote to clich a berth. Heaviest on Team Marshall Dyke, rangy Fairmount tack, whose decisive vote left no question as to his eligibility for the aa was given the fullback position. is the heaviest man on the team, weighing 210 pounds. On the second string, Valley City and Minot each placed two men with coaches nominating Gray and Mc-| | | Intyre, both of Valley City for end and tackle posts, respectively. Minot’s ‘Monnes got the call at guard and the Magician’s stalwart center, Eide, re- ceived the pivot post. Lux of James- town, Dietcher of Oakes and Anderson of Devils Lake, complete line selec- tions on the squad at guard, tackle and end, respectively. In the backfield, Keller of Hillsboro, ‘won the quarterback position; James of Grand Forks, and Sloan of Lakota, ‘were named as halfbacks and Simp- son of Mandan, fullback. Selection of the all-state eleven as ® result of the poll of North Dakota coaches was not as great a task this season as previously because majori- ties were much more clearly defined. ‘The closest contest for a first string berth was a guard position.

With Bleachers Glenn Hanna's Demons will play Joe Rognstad’s Hi-Liners Friday night in a game that promises to conjure up many memories of that semi-final clash of the state Class A tournament last spring. , Bismarck’s maroon and white cagers won a breath-taking 27-25 victory over the blue and white Valley City quint in one of the high spots of the annual event. Five lettermen of that smooth Val- ley City five will be back here again| Friday with a record of three victor-/ ies and one defeat in early season games. They are Sigvald Erickson, Wayne Zimmerman and Robert Car- ter, guards; Dale Scott, forward, and TY | Ordean Olson, center. In addition, Rognstad has Grey, Dibbern and Sathe, all experienced reserves, to round out his first-string lineup. One Veteran Transferred Rognstad had an experience similar to Hanna's when Tom Carlson, reserve pivot man, transferred to Mandan. Johnny Abbott was lost to the De- mons this year when his folks moved to Fargo. All of the Demons first squad with the exception of Jack Bowers, who has stayed out of practice on doctor's orders, are in good shape. Buddy Beall, Captain Bob Peterson, Bob Tavis and Helmuth Clausnitzer, all lettermen from last year, got their first taste of competition this year against St. Mary’s and the reserves showed promise in defeating Linton in an overtime period. Bringing a strong major foe against the Demons.so early in the season will give Hanna a good opportunity te test the candidates for the forward and guard berths left vacant by the graduation of James McGuiness, high- scoring forward, and Evan Lipps, guard. Four Given Best Chance Early indications are that Gilbert Olson, Alywn Potter, Glenn Enge and Bowers, when he gets in shape, will have the best chance of breaking jnto the starting lineup. -Clausnitzer is only eligible to the end of the present semester because of the eight-semes- rule. Officials are making preparations to accommodate a capacity crowd and bleachers seating between 400 and 500 persons have been installed on the stage at the gymnasium, bringing the seating accommodations to around 1,500. A preliminary game between the Imps, Bismarck high school reserves, and Driscoll has been called for 7:30 p. m. I. W. Huss, who coached the second team through an undefeated season last year, will probably start Charles Corwin at center, Russell In- man and Wallace Sorenson at guards, and Bob Yeasley and Lester Kelley at forwards against the eastern Burleigh county team. Others of the Imp squad that will probably see action are Bob Lip, Philip Hendrickson, Tom Skjode, Harry Vandie, Victor Sorsdahl, Charles Shafer, Bob Bowman and Art Tilsen, :!Texas U Will Choose Chevigny’s Successor Austin, Texas, Dec. 10.—(7)—The University of Texas looked for a foot- ball coach Thursday to replace Jack Der Maxie Sets Fight Talk Going Arrives in New York to Sew Up 36 All-State Selections First Team Wet.

The New York State Athletic com- mission confidently expected to see a deal closed for a title fight at Fri- day's meeting, but there were many ifs and buts to be threshed out.
