THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1937 Dour Roy McLeod, who brought « more than one state champion- ship to Bismarck in the days when he coached the Demons, must be growing mellower with the years. He actually admitted the other day that his Valley City State Teachers college Vik- ings “will be tougher this year.’ Mac never was known as being optimistic, but perhaps he decided he couldn’t fool the fans with eight lettermen in his lineup. Mac is building his club around Capt. Bill Potthast, two-year letterman from Harvey. * * * WATCH PITTSBURGH When sports prognosticators go about forecasting what team will be the foremost contender for the mythical national champion- pionship this year they can’t overlook the Pittsburgh Uni- versity Panthers, As far as that goes, they seldom, if ever, do. Year in and year out, the Panthers rank right at the top among the nation’s grid powerhouses. ‘One coach declared recently that the Panthers get more good raw material than any other outfit in the country, with Minnesota near the top of the list. This year will be no exception, apparently. A roll call of the Panthers’ returning veterans reads like a list of All-American candi- dates. With such stars from last year as Frank Patrick and Bill Bees’ Turner Muzzles Cubs 7-0 As Giants Club Bucs 3-0 Bruins Drop Full Game to Lead- ers; Cards Climb Back With Twin Win Over Phils By SID FEDER (Associated Press Sports Writer) If you're looking for an argument, step up to Bill Terry or Charley Grimm and tell them baseball is young fellow’s game. They've been combing aging Bos- ton Bees out of their hair for 80 long this season, that you'll be lucky if you get away with orly an argument. Ivll be no thanks to Bill Mc- Kechnie’s ancient stingers if either Terry's Giants or Grimm's Cubs wina up with the National League pennant. Largely through the efforts of their old man pitchers, Jim Turner, Lou Fette and Danny MacFayden, the pennant race has been as tight, up to now as a frankfurter and its skin. And virtually exclusively through the mound mastery of the two rookies and the come-backing MacFayden, the Cubs are now 3% games behind the Giants, although the New York- ers’ favorite stooges, the Pittsburgh Pirates, obliged as usual, THURSDAY'S STARS Lefty Gomez, Yankees—Blanked Indians 8-0 with three hits, fan- Bees — Pitched seven-hit, 7-0 shutout over Cubs. Harry Kelley, Athletics—Allowed Browns six hits and drove in win- ning run for 4-3 victory. Cliff Melton, Giants — White- washed Pirates 3-0 with six hits, Stapulis, fullbacks, Harold Steb- bins and Marshall Goldberg, half- backs, Steve Petro, guard, and Bill Daddio, hailed as the great- est end prospect in years, back in the fold, Jock Sutherland's boys might well rate at the very top in pre-season forcasts. Which calls to mind the import- ance that sectionalism (it might be termed that) plays in individual de- cisions as to what is the greatest team in the country. Out: west ‘they look to Pacific Coast conference elevens as tops. And quite often they're not exactly stupid in this belief. Talk to a dyed-in-the- wool Texan and he is apt as not to tell you that Texas Christian and Southern Methodist are the cream of the crop. In the “deep south,” Lou- isiana State, Alabama and Tennesee, among others, must be dumped be- fore the folks down thar will look much farther for better stuff. And in the East you have Pittsburgh, al- ways a first-flightel But try to tell a fan from the middlewest that any of these clubs rate right up with the Golden Gophers and he’s apt as not to laugh at you.

Lose Three of Four However, while the Cubs lost ground by dropping three-out-of-four to the Bees in their just-concluded series, there isn’t much for the Giants to enicker about. For they have four games to play with the old fellows from the Hub during the last week of the season—and those four meetings are packed into two days full of dou- bleheaders. Thursday, Turner, who has won all three of his starts against the Giants, chalked up his second win at the ex- pense of the Cubs with a seven-hit 7-0 shutout. At the same time, the Giants, behind Cliff Melton’s classy six-hit elbowing, trounced thier cous- ins from Pittsburgh, 3-0 to pick up 9 full game and leave the pennant race in this condition: Club— Giants Games Games W L Behind to Play 52 e 20 Cubs . - © 57 3% Ww The were absolutely helpless before Turner.

House, Schweigert to Carry Burden of Offense; Campos Takes Over Guard Post Mandan high school’s Braves, top- ranking contenders for state honors last year, will ring up the curtain on their 1937 grid machine in a game with Linton on the Warriors’ own field today. ‘The game is scheduled to start at 3:30 p. m. (MST). Leonard House and Leo Schweigert, both veteran performers, were expect- €d to carry the brunt of the Braves’ offensive burden, with Jack Broder- ick, another veteran, doing the signal calling and Sam Giardini, a newcom- | ton. ez to the first string lineup, due to get the starting call‘at fullback. Probable starters in the line are Geiger ‘and Doud, ends; Lloyd Loh- streter and Green, tackles; Mushik and Doug Campos guards; and To- man, center. Boehm was ex- pected to get a chance at guard as was John Kjol. Bob Steinbruck ap- peared likely to see service at the quarterback position. Other reserves who may see action are Frank McCann and John Froeh- lich, ends; Kenneth Zellar, Pat Mc- Cormick, and George Millner, tackles; Fred Armstrong and Clement Barn- ard, guards; Clement Knoll, center; Clement Ressler, quarterback, Sid Hughes and Dale Armstrong, half- Omaha, AC Meet In North Central Inaugural Tonight Cardinals Look Good on Paper But Have Yet to Prove Actual Strength North Dakota State's Bison will be of the Japanese variety of getting no place fast, or the Chinese version of digging in and keeping the other fel- low from traveling, is something in which North Central loop tutors are going to be interested. On paper it looks like the Cardinals showing against freshmen in scrim- mage last Saturday. Much of the inability to push the frosh around the field, however, was due to the absence of Bill Kulper, back, and Red Mazeri, center, both of whom are expected to be very much in the picture tonight. Kulper along with Brown, Veneziand, Milone, Bol- denow and Grote make up the Card- inals’ backs. Kulper, if his injured legs is in trim, appears to be the standout. In the line, Hartman has four 200 pounders for the tackle positions with Doherty and Kritner getting the call so far. Kersendrock and Flesher have been appearing at the énds and Threadgill and Riggins at guards. Schmeckpepper has been understudy- ing for Mazzeri at center while the latter nursed a broken nose.
