THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1937 THE BUCKET By John Hielle Six-man football is definitely on its way to the forefront in smaller North Dakota high schools, according to J. Carson Valentine, coach of the Glen Ullin high school team, and he's glad of it. “Schools that cannot put a good 11- man team on the field and that have to play with light boys and injured players are not being fair to the boys,” he writes, “because it demoralizes them and subjects them too greatly to injuries.” “Furthermore,” he adds, “schools that do not have football at all should introduce the six-man game. Every school has boys who want to play football and want to learn it, They should not be denied the opportunity. “They can practice and learn the fundamentals and principals of foot- ball in the six-man game as well as in the 1l-man, Here's how: The work of the center is exactly the same in both games; the ends get training in blockihg and receiving passes on the offense and in driving in to stop plays on the defense; the backfield men get experience punting, passing, hitting the line, blocking, tackling and carrying the ball.” And that isn’t all, he goes on to say, pointing out that his ex- perience has shown that the six- man game is just as interesting to watch as the older type. “One football enthusiast told me he ‘would rather watch a couple of six- man teams in action than two 11-man outfits, because he could see what every man is doing, whereas with 22 men on the field it is possible to see what only a few of them are doing. “Six-man football will develop. There will be a great increase in the number of teams next year. Schools that have 11-men football will change to six-man football, and schools prevented by lack of funds and “boy-power” from having the regular game will adopt it. That there will be an increase in our own territory next year I am certain.” Mr. Valentine fears that perhaps he may be too optimistic about the future of the six-man game, but doubts it. The Dope Bucket thanks him for his contribution. It seems to us to be a very good estimation of the merits of the game and indicaces 33 why s0 many schools in the state are turning to it. Glen Ullin’s team, which played its first game only about two weeks ago, lost to Sentinel Butte last Friday in @ game which decided the confer- ence championship. * ek * SEE FOR YOURSELF ye schools battle for the state con- solidated league title. Page and Haynes advanced to the final round of the consolidated play- offs by defeating some of the best sextets in their sections of the state, Haynes in the west and Page in the east . Page defeated Sykeston in re- gional finals last week and Haynes got the right to play in the title game when Des Lacs forfeited in the west- ern regional championship game be- cause of lack of funds. Fans—and particularly coaches and school officials from nearby towns where addition of the six- man game to the school athletic program is being considered —are expected to come to Steele in considerable numbers for the game. L. J. Totdahl is superintendent of schools at Steele and will aid in arrange- ments for the game. -* * * GOOD AND NOT SO GOOD Cecil Hancock of the Fargo Forum entry in a Fargo bowling league went to town in the first game of a match there recently. But in the second and third games he didn’t fare so well. In the initial game he turned in a score Of 262, the highest single-game score in league play this fall. But in the second game he dropped to 173. And in the third it went from bad to worse. His score then was 117. That's what's called slippin’. * *k * GRADUATION HITS LIONS Nine lettermen on the Linton high school football team played their last game in the Linton moleskins when the Lions tied Turtle Lake last Fri- day, 13 to 13. ‘Heading the list are Walter Dobler, quarterback whose performances during the past two years have stamped him as an outstanding can- didate for all-state honors, and Cap- tain Fiegal, hard-driving fullback. ‘Others who will be lost via the grad- uation route are Vic Bechtel, end; ‘Vin Leuwer, halfback; Anton Kelsh ‘and Wallace Hanson, tackles; Ken- meth Meier and Robert Hanson, guards, and George Lawler. * * * AROUND THE STATE Rugby high school’s football team hhad won six straight games before it clashed with Fessenden’s strong eleven last Thursday .. . to suffer its first de- feat of the season .. .

Bixteen young men of California, Tied by Washington, Drops to Second in Na- tional Balloting New York, Nov. 9.—(#)—Pittsburgh’s football powerhouse, triumphant in the Rose Bowl last New Year's day and seemingly ambitious to try it again, displaced the University of California Tuesday as the nation’s No. 1 team. The combination of Pitt's emphatic victory over Notre Dame and Califor- nia’s scoreless tie with Washington helped bring about the biggest shakeup so far in the national gridiron rank- ing poll conducted by the Associated Press. Pittsburgh collected a majority of the first-place ballots, 31% out of 55, and piled up a decisive margin on points while California dropped to second place after leading the pro- cession for three weeks, Alabama re- ceived more first-place votes than California in this week's balloting but was not supported strongly enough otherwise to avoid dropping a notch to third place. Favor Swings Northeast The marked swing of football’s bal- ance of power to the northeast, with five teams from this section in the “first ten,” is indicated by the follow- ing tabulation: (First places bracketed; points scored 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1) First Ten .

Minnesota, traveling a surprisingly zag course, bounced back into the first ten after one week's absence. Duke and Villanova also moved into the select circle, as the experts filled gaps left by Baylor, Nebraska and Ohio State. Baylor skidded from fourth to 13th place after its first defeat, Huskers Below Nebraska's ranking at No. 11, a notch below Minnesota, marks one of this week's inconsistencies. Even though thet Cornhuskers lost some prestige in barely tying Kansas the. fact remains they beat Minnesota, which rallied voting support by trouncing Iowa. Only two of the top ten, Alabama and Santa Clara, have records clear of either tie or defeats Seven others have nothing worse than a tie on their slates, including the now famous and third successive deadlock between Pitt and Fordham. Minnesota has been licked twice. The ranking list, as a barometer on what may happen to the leaders this Saturday, indicates Pitt a heavy favor- ite over Nebraska, Notre Dame the choice over Army, and Louisiana State the likely winner over unpredictable Auburn, Dartmouth and Duke meet unranked but highly-geared sectional rivals, Cornell and North Carolina.

Teach Be- able as ever, it appears to have been that the setup hasn’t changed since last spring. The scant indications afforded by five games are that the four Am- erican division clubs are pretty well matched; that Toronto will be the team to beat in the international sec- tion and that the New York Amer- icans are capable of putting on at least one good spurt. By winning their oper games, the New York Pargee sen Boston Bruins tied for the American divi- sion lead over the past week-end while the world champion Detroit Red Wings, held to a tie in their first start Thursday and beaten, 3-0 by the Rangers Sunday night, lead Chi- cago, one point to none. Toronto accumulated three points in two home games- against Detroit and the Americans, scored eight goals and allowed its opponents five. last week.

To Beat Gophers Cut by Injuries Three Regular Linemen Disabled in Game With 'Fighting Ulini Saturday Chicago, Nov. 9.—(7)—If Minnesota gallops over Northwestern next Satur- Gay, the Gophers will owe some kind of thanks to the fighting Illini and their wily coach, Robert Carl Zuppke. Illinois hasn’t the greatest football team in the midwest, but it has quali- fied as one of the best tough-team “softeners” this season. The Illini whipped Northwestern 6-0 last Satur- day, and the Wildcats, because of that hard-fought upset defeat, won’t be quite the same for the remainder of - the season. Mike Calvano, Don Curitz and Erwin Wegner, all regular linemen, are nursing injuries which will keep them out of the Gopher battle, Cal- vano and Guritz, as guards, have flanked Wegner at center and the middle of the Wildcat line next Sat- urday will be made up of Sophomores John Haman at center and Hal Method and John Goldack. Calvano probably will be out for the season.
