= ___ THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1937 Hasselstrom, Farrar Both Set for 10-Round Go Here Tonight an tk Bruised Giants Pin Hopes on Confident Young Cliff Melton THE BUCKET By John Bjelio Well, folks, the limb broke, but here ‘we are again. Right out on the wobbly end of another with a fistful of aces Up our sleeve and all in a huddle to decide just who will be what in the| realm of King Football when the! smoke of a thousand battles clears! Saturday evening. Like the neighborhood tough, we don’t know when we've had enough. And for that matter it wasn’t a bit) lonesome on that little tumble last week. The biggest trouble was to keep | those big-time “experts” from plomp- ing down on you. But here are our guesses for this week, If you don’t like ‘em you can lump ’em. Yours are as good as ours. According to our way of thinking, both North Dakota entrants in the North Central conference race will post wins over circuit foes Saturday. Victors over Omaha university and Morningside in their first two starts, the North Dakota Agricultural college should keep up the pace with a tri- umph over South Dakota state, but only after a hard battle. The Univer- sity sports too many touchdown run- ners for Iowa State Teachers and should get its second loop triumph of the year. In the North Dakota conference, Jamestown gets the call over Dakota Wesleyan (for its third straight vic- tory of the year), Wahpeton Science over Mayville Teachers, Valley City over Dickinson and Minot over Ellen- dale. Turning to Minnesota, St. Olaf should be able to deliver in its game with Concordia, Gustavus Adolphus should stop Macalester’s little giant killers and Carleton should beat Law- Tence, Things really get interesting on the national gridiron this week, even though there may be no game likely to play as big a part in the season’s final outcome as the Minnesota-Nebraska fracas last Saturday. Topping the list are the inter-sectional game between Ohio State and Southern California, the University of California (Los Angeles) and Stanford game, and the Pittsburgh-Duquesne and Army-Col- umbia settos. Ohio State gets the call over the Trojans in our books, with Pittsburgh favored over doughty Duquesne, Stan- FOE BY KNOCKOUT Jimmy Moran to Supervise Weighing-in Ceremonies at 3 P. M. Today FIGHT TO START AT 8:30 Boys in Main Go Fighting for Chance to Meet Jack Gib- bons in Ring Here All paths will lead to the World War Memorial building for Bismarck fight fans tonight. Topping the 3l-round card which will get under way at 8:30 p. m., is the battle between Prett Farrar, De- troit, Mich. Negro, and Bismarck’s Wild Bill Hasselstrom, light-heavy- weights who will clash over the 10- reund route. Three six-round preliminary matches and a three-round curtain raiser will precede the main go of the evening, with all of the principals except the two boys who will match blows in the first bout professionals.

In their last match Hasselstrom fought the Detroit veteran, who has put more than 200 fights into his scrapbook of memories, to a draw here and each of the big boys will be out to prove that was an off-evening. ‘ford over U.C.

Montana to club Oklahoma City. Navy to trounce Virginia, Louisiana State should walk over ‘Texes Christian to win from Tulse. The winner will be matched against Jack Gibbons, St. Paul light heavyweight, in the feature match of @ card here some time later this fall, according to assurance received here by Isham Hall, matchmaker for the Bismarck Boxing club. Hasselstrom, who entered the ring for his first meeting with Farrar at nearly 200 pounds, has scaled his weight down to about 177, but even at that will probably have a slight ad- vantage in heft over his dusky op- ponent, who is expected to fight at about 175 pounds. Farrar has been working out at The Ring here almost daily for the past month and will be in good condition to go to the full 10 rounds if no knockout puts an end to the proceedings before they have gone that fer, All participants were to weigh in 3p. m, today under the supervision di Moran, Minot, secretary of the North Dakota State Athletic Com- mission. Dr. Charles A. Arneson of Bismarck will examine the boys to determine theri physical fitness. Mel Engel, popular Bismarck referee who officiated at the last two cards staged here by the Bismack Boxing club, will again be the third man in the ring and D, E. Shipley will take care of the announcements. Moran will be introduced from the Billy Colbert, manager of Mike Gibbons gymnasium in St. Paul, and matchmaker for the Queensbury Box- ing club there, will be in the corner for the three St. Paul fighters. There was a probability that one more three-round curtain raiser would be added, Hall said Thursday morning, although this had not been definitely decided then, ‘The ol’ dope bucket's reeling, folks, ‘but it can take it. Here's hoping. * * * NO ONE MAN TEAM St. Mary's high school football players want it understood that they didn’t get beat by one man when they lost a hardly-contested game to Linton’s Lions 7 to 0 last week... ‘Walter Dobler, Lion halfback, scored the winning tally on a 10-yard end run in the third quarter of the «. .

This year, however, there are so many green hands operating where veterans held forth in the big title drive, that he needs a couple of games to get an idea of what to expect. He figures Michi- gan will clarify the situation, “I don’t know how to figure these kids, yet,” he said. “Last year we had experienced boys who fooled me by coming along much faster than I thought possible. This year’s first team looks fairly good now, but the reserves, who made the team what it ‘was @ year ago, are still so many ques- tion marks.” ‘The Wolverines spent another day yal on fundamentals. Coach Harry Kipke also definitely gave up his plan of con- verting Fred Jahnke, a tackle, into a fullback.

Wisconsin and Chicago, which tangle at Chicago, staged pleasing offensive showings in their final hard workouts.

After Wednesday's exhibi- tion, when 60,000 fans saw the Giants’ pitching and defense fall apart at ‘once, it looked a forlorn hope.

Franklin dropped Zona four times in the first round of a scheduled five-rounder and finished him off with a terrific right cross late in the second.
