. Or deer or elk would be BUCKET By John HjeBe Tossing a basketball around would seem to be a very definite help to a football player... at least, so gridiron fans who saw the Bismarck high school eleven lose a hard-fought game to Valley City here Friday afternoon might well believe. . . . Ordeen Olson, the lad who did such a fancy job of juggling on that touchdown pass before he finally got his clutches securely on it, was a guard on the Hi-Liner quintet that played in the state tourna- ment here last year... . And a good one too... Carter and Scott, sparkplugs of the Valley City of- fense, were also members of that quintet,... ese PASS DEFENSE IMPROVES Bismarck’s pass defense seemed to improve as the game went on... but by that time it was too late.... At first they didn’t seem to know just ‘what to do to cope with the Hi-Liner aerial attack ... but gradually they gained more confidence ... and fi- nally they were able to checke it.... By rights, according to the way it looked from the sidelines, the pass that brought the touchdown should mever have been completed... . At least two Bismarck boys had chances to take it away from Olson and knock it to the ground ... but they weren't quite up to it.... x * * STOP GROUND PLAYS Fought almost to a standstill on the ground the Hi-Liners were forced to take to the air to gain most of their yardage. .. . Bis- marck’s defensive play was of the best ... with Jordon and McDon- backfield as far as tackling was con- cerned, .. . But Harold Smith was right in there with him... . Smith carried the brunt of the Demon at- tack ... until he was taken out for a period after he was injuired.... If both Smith and Chuck Murray had been in the lineup from the start things might have been a lot differ- ent....

Three games down—8-1, 8-1 and 5-1 —the Polo Grounders went into the fourth and probably the final game against the Yankees Saturday. Bill Terry, their manager, admitted after Friday’s third straight trounc- ing that he was “embarrassed.” Bill was in almost as great a daze as were the young men he had pre- viously been proud to manage.

Yankees to Try for Fourth Straight Win of Serie s Today Second-Quarter Pass Gives Valley PATTY BERGPLAYS |Half-Million Fans to City Eleven 6-0 Win Over Demons| RS. PAGE IN FINAL ST. MARY’S GRIDDERS LOSE TO HETTINGER BY 13 TO 0 | Football Scores — Olson Grabs Bouncing Ball Out of Melee for Tally; Bis- marck Defense Strong By the Downtown Quarterback An alert Valley City high school eleven that took the breaks when they came and capitalized on the biggest of them dumped Bismarck from the ranks of the undefeated here Friday afternoon. Bismarck fans who saw their De- mon eleven nosed out 6 to 0 on the strength of the flukiest play of an afternoon filled with fluky plays car- ried home the story of a team that was at times brilliant in its defensive play but which lacked the scoring unch, ‘The fighting Bismarck aggregation, line as well as backfield, was com- posed of veritable demons when the Hi-Liners had the ball. They crashed announced, weakly, that Carl Hubbell would brave the Yankee bats again Saturday, and that Harry Danning would catch, and then he said “Nuts.” Hubbell, knocked from the box in the opening game, had to give it an- other try Saturday, even if his 34! years howled for an additional day’s rest, The Yankees, gloating in their easy mastery, were able to send a sec- ond-string pitcher, Bump Hadley, out for the clincher. Might Stage Comeback ‘There was an off-chance, of course, that the National Leaguers would Stage a comeback behind Hubbell. Carlo still is a great pitcher, as he demonstrated for five innings in the first game. The greatest surprise has been the Yankee pitching. The Giants were supposed to have the pitching; the Yankees the batting. Now it comes to light that Mc- Carthy’s pitchers can really fog a ball across, After Monte Pearson’s exhibition Friday, in which he retired the first 12 Giants to face him and al- lowed only five hits all told, Terry gave grudging testimonial: “Eithér they have some great pitchers or my boys are all blind.” Pearson finally went out in the ninth, when the Giants filled the sacks with two away, but that scarcely dimmed the brilliance of his work. Johnny Murphy pitched to the last man, Harry Danning, and caused him to fly out. That was the closest that the Giants had come to injecting themselves into the series in three Lineup May Be Changed There was a possibility that Terry would change his lineup Saturday. ‘His volunteer advisors were suggest- ing after Friday's debacle that he get Hank Leiber, Wally Berger and Sam Leslie in there somewhere. None of the three is a twinkling star afield, Nor famed for his thinking, but each has been known to get a base hit on The details of Friday vi from those of the first two Salas, in that the Yanks got started earlier. Hal Schumacher, third of the Giants’ “aces,” lacked control, and his sinker ball didn’t fool anybody. A walk to Selkirk and successive singles by Hoag and Lazzeri gave the Rupperts their first tally in the sec- ond inning. Gehrig’s single, Dickey’s triple off the left wall and Selkirk’s single accounted for two more in the third. Gehrig's long fly brought in Rolfe, who had doubled, in the fourth. Three Giant errors—two of them by ,| Johnny McCarthy on the same play— combined with another single by Hoag to produce the final score in the fifth. ~ SCOWMSSSCOCOMA~APy CoooKmocooUNnoPme Schumacher, p Z-Berger .

Nee through time after time to smear the fast Valley City backfield for sizeable losses behind the line of scrimmage and stopped two drives within the 5- ard line. Couldn’t Gain But when it came to reeling off the yardage themselves they simply didn’t seem to click, The idea was there, and the men to carry it out, but not the way. Several times they looked as though they might be on the verge of & souchdown drive, but before they could move into threatening territory they bogged down in their own in- effectiveness. It was a pass from Bob Carter to Ordean Olson that gave the Hi-Liners the victory. But it was the way it came that hurt. Just previously Valley City had in- tercepted a Bismarck pass on the Bismarck 35-yard line as the gun end- ing the first quarter sounded. the first play of the second period Carter dropped back and heaved & pass to Harry Treglawny, who was dumped exactly on the 10-yard stripe. ‘The next play was stopped dead as the Bismarck line swarmed in with good support from the backfield. On the second down Carter was stopped for a two-yard gain. On the third try Carter seemed to be on his way over the goal line when three mem- bers of the Demon backfield came up fast and knocked him down. Take to Air Balked in their attempts to score via the ground, the Hi-Liners took to the air again, and Carter rifled the pass that proved the Demons undoing. Olson juggled the ball at least three times and caught it the fourth time it bounced into his hands as two defen- sive backs missed their opportunity to knock it to the ground. Carter's place kick try for the extra point went wide of the uprights and the Hi-Liners went into the lead 6 to 0 to atay. Later in the same period Carter took one of Harold ‘Smith’s punts and scampered to the Bismarck’s 30-yard line before he was tossed to the turf. stopped with- in feet of goal with little or no gain. And on the fourth try Bowers smeared a play around right end with ® characteristically effective tackle. It was on this play that Asa Dawson, captain and fullback, dislocated his shoulder and had to be removed from the lineup. He was hurt as he dived for the Valley City back in a futile attempt to stop that fourth-down end run, Chance Bismarck’s big chance to score went for naught in the fourth quarter when the Demon eleven apparently didn’t know what to do with it. It all started when Al Potter got off one of his long punts and the Hi- Liners took the ball in their own ter- ritory. Carter fumbled a bad pass from center but recovered as two or three Bismarck players missed in dives for the ball. That forced the Hi-Liners back to within the shadow of their own goal posts and Carter dropped back to punt. But the punt went awry and sailed out of bounds on the Valley City end zone before he was finally bri down.

Tigers Place Four on AL Honor Roll DiMaggio Gets Most Individual Honors; Gehringer Paces Circuit at Plate Chicago, Oct. 9—()—The New York Yankees won the American League pennant in a walk, but they had no strangle hold on junior circuit in- dividual honors for the 1937 season. Unofficial averages released Satur- day, which are subject to approval of league statisticians, show that De- troit’s Tigers, in addition to finishing second in the team standings, knocked off the team hitting and fielding hon- ors and landed four players in the cir- cult’s top flight list of batsmen. Charley Gehringer, Detroit's ace ‘second baseman, wound up the season with » batting average of 371, giving him his first league title. Hank Greenberg, Detroit first baseman, fin- ished with a 337 average for seventh place, two points ahead of Gerald Walker. Pete Fox, Detroit outfielder, batted 331.

Holding an advantage of two vic- tories to one for the White Sox, the Cubs sent Bill Lee, a right-hander, after another win which would make the National leaguers strong favorites to crack the string of three straight championships captured by the Amer- ican league club. The Sox’ pitching choice was Johnny Whitehead, also @ right-hander. In the opener, Tex Carleton hurled the Cubs to victory on a five-hit per- formance, In the second game, Vern Kennedy of the White Sox turned b2ck the Cubs on a three-hit chore, and Friday as the Cubs went out in front, Larry French repulsed the White Sox 4 to 1 on # four-hit mas- terpiece. French had plenty of help from his mates, notably Catcher Gabby Hart- nett, who socked a homer in the third inning with Billy Herman on base. Then in the next frame, French banged a triple to score Augie Galan, who had doubled. The final. Cub run came in the fifth no @ double, two passes and an error. One of the four hits allowed by French was a disputed homer by Jackie Hayes which saved the Sox from a shutout. The ball hit near the top of the wall and bounced into the seats.
