THE BISMAR THE BUCKET By John Hijelle INJUDICIOUS, UNFAIR Oct. 25, 1937 The Dope Bucket: I have never written or spoken to @ sport writer (if I can call you thaw) | “efore in regard to his opinion. I don’t know who you are or from where you come but I scent Luther. You must be new in the game, though, ‘nd you, perhaps, could switch to lnotypes or something. Don't suspect me of being anti- Bismarck. I played for Bismarck when we won few games but we knew avhen we had a “second-rate” team. Your remarks about Bismarck's rat- ing in your column tonight had a very poignant odor. You also failed to explain “Minot Pulls a Boner” or cid you mean you would have kicked? It would have been a good play had they made it. I suggest you take in a football game next year when you have your week off. Don’t go to Decorah, as you did this time. Your remark last week about the Luther passer “showing the North Dakota fans a few things” was quite cut of place. North Dakota fans have seen passers in Kahl, Nelson and Schave that your man would be a poor sub for. You were home several years too late. Without conceding the fact that there are a good number of peopie reading The Tribune here in Linton. I wish to say that you are injudicious, unfair and inaccurate (to say nothing of sportsmanship) in reporting Lin- ton’s games. I refer to “Dobler 7, St, Mary’s 6.” The numbers may be incorrect, but you get the idea. I never have thought much of peo- ple who had the audacity to disagree with sports authorities, but you have gone too far. Of course, this letter will not daunt a man who appears as sure of his opinions as you. However, consult Messrs. McGregor, Moeller and Harm- sen before you go too far. Sincerely, Willis B. Shepard Gadzooks! How's that for a com- plete going over? The Dope Bucket takes it all i good part except that dig about f i ae | sportsmanship. We Hg 4 do wish Dr. She- pard hadn't said that. \Dr. Shepard, now medical su- perintendent of the Linton hospi- tal, was a Bis- ; marck high schcol football player and later a star and captain at the University of Dr. Shepard North Dakota when such men as Schave, Burma, Jarrett and Felber played for the Sioux. He's right about that preference for Luther. But weren't Kahl, Nelson and Schave all from the University of North Dakota? And no foolin’ Doc, that guy at Luther really is good. * * OX SEVEN FORGOTTEN MEN “Whoosis makes Touchdown Run” snd “Whatsis Scores Winning Tally” are common headlines during the fcotball season and this newspaper ‘s as guilty as any other. At times i! Goes seem as though a football teain is composed of four backs—sometimes only one—and seven other players who are just out there as a necessary evil. Anyone who ever played footbail knows better. Anytime a back gets away through tackle or around an end, you can bet your bottom dollar he had a lot of help from 10 other fellows, particularly those seven forgotten men in tite line. Football experts often are not ex- pert enough to note that one guard, lowest on the ladder of forgotten men, pulled out of the line to run inter- ference and blocked the defensive; halfback, and that the other guard! raced down the field to spill the safety man. But coaches notice such things, and tt you don’t believe it ask them. This is just a little tribute to the forgotten men on the team with one outstanding star, inspired by Dr. She- pard’s letter. Put a star behind a weak line, or take away the blocking he needs and he’s helpless. It doesn't take away any glory due a star to say he has to be playing on a pretty good team before he has an opportunity to show his stuff. * * * BOWLING NOTES Steve Walery, manager of the Bis- marck bowling alleys, says at least four teams will represent the Capital City in the state bowling tournament at Minot the latter part of November. Bismarck women may have an portunity to emulate their mer folk. Walery, at the request of a number of feminine maple pin fans, is endeavoring to organize a women's Jeague of four teams. Women in- terested should contact him. ... The Bismarck alleys are in the best condi- tion they have been for a number of years. They were completely refin- ished this summer, the interior painted and more powerful lamps in- stalled down the drives and over the pins.

Jamestown Alone At Top of State | Prep Standings Jays Have More Impressive Rec- ords Than Two Other Un- beaten Major Clubs SF | All Gopher, Irish | | Game Ducats Sold | a Minneapolis, Oct. 27.—(P)—At least Notre Dame and Minnesota won't have to worry about whether anyone will be there to watch when their football teams clash Saturday. The stadium was re- ported entirely sold out Tuesday with approximately 64,000 custom- ers accounted for. (By the Associated Press) | Coach Ernie Gates’ undefeated Bluejays surveyed the struggle for North Dakota's prep gridiron laurels from their position on top of the Class A heap Wednesday. Although two other elevens in the major high school group, Wahpeton and Williston, are still unbeaten in competition with state teams, the Jamestown club's record is by far the most impressive. The Bluejays made it five wins in a row over North Dakota foes last week-end in routing the Mandan Braves. Four of their victories have been over Class A teams. ‘Williston, on the other hand, has two triumphs over major elevens to its credit—last week's conquest of Dickinson and an early season win over Mandan — and Marty Engh’s Wops have yet to meet a team in the top flight. Johnny Mach’s Coyotes get their big test Saturday when they travel to Minot for a clash with the Magicians. Minot is definitely out of the title running but the game will serve as a good criterion of Williston’s strength. Since bowing to Fargo and James- town, the Magicians have downed Devils Lake and Bismarck in order and should be at top form for the Coyotes. Wops Have Open Date Bismarck Huntsmen .Bag Canadian Geese Four big Canadian honkers, the prize of all prizes for most huntsmen, were bagged by three Bismarck mean Tuesday morning at Long lake in Kid- der county. John L, and John N. Larson and John Hoffman were the ones who brought the geese to earth. They averaged eight pounds each, the three hunters said, and were shot while the men were in a corn field near the lake.

Bald headed Ed Cherry, PROB OWNNEH HS mooscococeocs Chicago, Oct. 27—(#)—The Daily Maroon, University of Chicago's stu- dent newspaper, will conduct a poil Friday to determine undergraduate halfback university should continue to par- ticipate in intercollegiate athletics. With Chicago's athletic fortunes at probably their lowest point, the Maroon has started a campaign for a program of intrumural sports to re- place Chicago's intercollegiate setup, and its editors want to know what. the student body thinks of the pro- position. Reports that Chicago might with- draw from the Big Ten have been denied repeatedly by athletic officials. No Ticket Scalping Is Found in Twin Cities St. Paul, Oct. 27. — (®) — John Glutsch, chief of the St. Paul office of the intelligence unit of the bureau of internal revenue, said Tuesday agents watching for scalping of tickets for the Notre Dame-Minnesota foot- ball game in Minneapolis, Oct. 30, were at work in Chicago or Detroit. He said a newspaper in one of those cities had carried a want ad offering to sell tickets to the highest bidder. but declined to say which place or name the paper. Glutsch said no ticket scalping had been discovered in the Twin Cities.

George Weiss, general manager of the Yankee farm system, said Zwilling might be placed elsewhere in the or- ganization. COACHES TURN FROM LATERAL PASS TO OLD STANDBY PLAYS New York, Oct. 27.—(#)—The lateral Pass, two years ago the people's choice 98 football’s most exciting bit of by- play, is quietly expiring in the nation’s stadia. If 1937 football technique has a trend, this is it—the lateral passes. _ From the outset the coaches looked on with suspicion. Even two years ago, when fans and writers were loud- dy hailing the “new type of offense,” the men who shape the football styles with a conservatism worthy of a sen- ator from Vermont were opposed to the play's general use. ‘The lateral’s two most inspired pro- Handy Andy Kerr of Col- gate and Francis Schmidt of Ohio Slate, now are casting sheep's eyes at the old standbys and foregoing the quick transfer in the open field. “The lateral pass is a nice play to watch, but dangerous,” says Lou Little, Columbia maestro, Hooks Mylin, mentor of LaFayette’s unbeaten, untied and unscored on eleven backs Lou up. “It's a great play to see done well, but often it is ‘costly to the offensive team.” A survey of 20 of Saturday’s major games shows not one of the 40 teams resorting to lateral legerdemain for scoring plays. But efforts to hide the ball and the point of attack have been redoubled, the reports show. Spin- ners and fake spinners, single, double and fake reverses around and the for- ward pass never have been employed with greater profligacy. ROWN FOR ILLERY BISMARCK pitched 119 innings for Statesville in| Veteran Coaches Keep Rating High Washington, Oct. 27.—()—It’s been. rough going for “Pop” Stagg, Dana Bible and Harry Hughes, but. most of the old timers among fc coaches have had more smiles than sighs this season, - As a whole they can match-records against those of most any group of their juniors without any head-hang- ing. The average for a score of those who have been coaching prior to 1920 is considerably-over the creditable 500 mark, Amos Alonzo Stagg, football’s gran’ oid man, who coached 40 years at Chicago before moving to the College of the Pacific, has won one, tied one and lost three. After many great seasons at Ne- braska, Bible has lost three games since his re-entry among Southwest sharpshooters and his Texas <out- fit has won one and tied one. Hughes, who began with the Colo- tado Aggies in 1911 and has the long- est continual service record at one Y.stitution, has yet to win a game. He's lost three and tied one. On the other hand, Ray Morrison’s Vanderbilt is among the few un- beaten and untied elevens with five triumphs. Bernie Bierman of Minnesota has won three and lost one, as has Fran- cis Schmidt of Ohio State.

Mostad said that 10,000 bass, 13,800 sunfish, 11,295 crappies, 500 bluegilis and a number of pike were included ix, the plantings. Strawberry lake also was restocked recently, he said.

Ramblers Give Way Before Sec- ond String Men Using Minnesota Plays Chicago, Oct. 27.—(#)—There will be no championship glitter connected with the battle, but Bob Zuppke still has a special yearning for an Illinois triumph over Michigan Saturday. For, Michigan is the only Big Ten rival holding a victory margin over Zuppke-coached bands of fighting Illini. Since 1919 when Michigan fended its long absence from the con- ference and met Illinois under Zuppke for the first time, the Wolverines have won nine out of 17 battles. A victory jin Huge Memorial stadium Saturday, would square the Michigan account for the master strategist in his silver jub- ilee year at Illinois, Has Edge on Most Zuppke has an edge over seven Big ‘Ten teams, while the other series, with Ohio State, is all even. The Illinois offense, altered for the Michigan occasion, displayed live jpower Tuesday in scoring five touch- downs against third stringers and freshmen. Michigan has scouted Illi- nois, but Coach Harry Kipke contin- ued to concentrate on the Wolverines’ attack, with the observation that it “would be useless to put a lot of time into a defense for plays you know aren’t going to be used.” At Notre Dame, Coach Elmer Lay- den forgot all about last week’s victory over Navy as he watched two reserve teams equipped with Minnesota power plays, run the eyeballs out of the Trish varsity. Striving to halt the kind of maneuvers they will face at Minneapolis Saturday, the Notre Dame regulars yielded two touch- cowns, both made through sustained drives. The Gopher workout was con- ducted in strictest secrecy, a plan Coach Bernie Bierman expects to fol- low for the next two days. Buckeye Scrimmage The powerful Ohio State squad was given a long offensive scrimmage, a move on the. part of Coach Francis ‘Schmidt to rid the Buckeyes of the idea that Chicago's brave little band will be a pushover Saturday. The Maroons again worked on their offen- sive, with Coach Clark Shaughnessy ‘still making shifts to patch up the re- serve department. Northwestern’s Wildcats plotted a defense for Wisconsin’s serial game, while the Badgers scrimmaged the freshmen as Coach Harry Stuhldreher scught the punch so noticeably miss- ing against Pittsburgh last week.

Said Harry: “It would be use- less to put a lot of time into building a defense for plays you know aren’t going to be used.” One interpretation might be that Kipke knew just what offense to expect from Illinois Saturday, but an- other is that he expects to be running most of the plays.
