MH 5 § i i ‘ THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1987 THE BUCKET By John Hijelie Bismarck high school's Demons, who close their gridiron season with their annual Armistice Day fracas with Mandan today, aren't without their iron men, a quick glance at sea- son’s performances shows. Jack Bowers, as far as we have been able to determine, has played every minute of every game this fall. Rated as the best tackler on the Bis- marck squad and one of the best blockers and pass receivers, as well as ‘a capable signal caller and ball car- rier, he still takes the lead as the Demon's top-notch candidate for all- state honors in the books of most fans hereabouts. | Harry Rishworth has probably put) in more playing time than any other man in the line, going through the entire season without serious injury. A tackle and end last year, he has been outstanding among pivot men during a season when good centers were plentiful. Another ball-toter who has been in the lineup most of the time is speedy, Jack Smith, who paired with Chuck} Murray to form one of the most dan- gerous backfield combinations in the state. * ok Ox DIPLOMA CASUALTIES Coaches Glenn Hanna and George “Shaky” Schaumberg will have to} start from scratch when they begin putting together the Bismarck football team next fall. Fourteen of the boys who saw most service this fall will be lost via the graduation route next spring, and another will be beyond the high school age limit. Hardest hit will be the backfield and the guard positions, Every mem- ber of the first string backfield will! be lost through graduation as well as every guard on the squad—six in all. Both tackles will be back, but Hanna and Schaumberg will have to find new men to fill the center position and the ends. * *e * NOT SO BAD Demon followers need not feel badly about their performances their eleven turned out this fall even though they won't be able to end up with the ad- vantage on the right side of the led- ger. They've met the best the state has, with the exception of Wahpeton, and did creditably against all of them. And a second triumph over the al- ways strong Mandan team today would help a lot. * * JUST TRY TO PICK'EM It’s like suicide, this business of forecasting winners of football games. Or perhaps its more like that old- fashioned game of pinning the tail on the donkey. But it couldn’t be worse than it was last week. The blindfold is on, and here are the stabs in the dark: North Dakota to upset Detroit: This is patriotism at its most reckless stage. The cards are stacked against the Sioux, what with the highly-touted Titans tripped by Manhattan last week, but here’s hoping they come through for the second year in a row. North Dakota State to lose to George Washington: Perhaps if we call it this way it'll run true to form and end up the other way around. It would be fun to be wrong on this one; and if Wheeler, Schrank et al are in there at their best a win for the Bison would be more than probable. Jamestown to beat Valley City Nor- mal. St. Thomas to win from St. Olaf. Minnesota to whip Northwestern, despite the fact that this should be the Gophers’ week to surprise. Notre Dame to come back against Army. Pittsburgh to wallop Nebraska. Indiana to defeat Iowa. Purdue to nose out Wisconsin: This might be a good one to call a tie, for on the basis of past performances the two elevens are about evenly matched. Michigan over Pennsylvania. Ohio State to prove its strength by trouncing Illinois. Carnegie Tech to beat Michigan State. California over Oregon. Washington over U. C. L. A. Stanford to trip Washington State. Southern Cailfornia to beat Oregon State. Kansas over Kansas State. Oklahoma to trip St. Louis. Villanova to beat Boston. Temple to wallop Bucknell. Holy Cross to beat Brown. Lafayette over Washington and Jefferson. Columbia over Spokane. with the tongue in the cheek. Yale over Princeton. Dartmouth to scalp Cornell. Baylor to break into the win column by defeating Southern Methodist, Texas Christian to defeat Texas, Rice over Texas A, and M.,, in an old-fashioned, bloodthirsty brawl. Alabama to maintain its undefeated status by beating Georgia Tech in a game that won't be decided before the final gun is sounded. Vanderbilt over Tennessee. A tie might be as good a guess as any here. ._ North Carolina to trip Duke. Big question mark. And Louisiana State to stop Au- burne. Ditto. Smallpox Causes Grid Tilt to Be Postponed Bottineau, N.

There's been a lot of argument pro and con over this question in the hot stove league of every village and ham- let from Haynes to Hurdsfield and from Beach to bedlam. In an effort to partially solve the question and perhaps add a little more fuel to the conversational fire, The Bismarck Tribune this week mailed ballots to 54 high schools in the Mis- souri Slope area asking the coaches and 15 members of each football squad to vote for an All Missouri Slope eleven-man and an All Missouri Slope six-man football team. But The Tribune was rather choosey. Inasmuch as the Class A schools usually command the head- lines at the expense of the smaller schools and because they will have their all-state football team, The Tribune has eliminated the central high schools of Bismarck, Mandan and Dickinson from the balloting. St. Mary's of Bismarck and Model High of Dickinson are included, however. ‘Catches’ On Ballots There are a number of “catches” to the ballot as those who receive them will note. All voters, coaches and players alike, are asked to vote only for those men they have seen in action. Coaches may vote for members of their own team. But players may NOT vote for mem- bers of their own team. They must ballot for their opponents only. There will be first and second all- star teams picked in both eleven-man and six-man classifications. The coaches will receive, distribute and collect the ballots, The Tribune has set Nov. 18 as the deadline for return of the ballots. It will be no small chore tabulating the results and The Tribune wishes to publish the results Monday, Nov. 22. The players receiving the greatest number of votes for each position will be placed on the first team. The players receiving the second greatest number of votes will be placed on the second team, May Be Annual Feature In past years The Tribune has selected all-state this and all-state that. This is the first time, however, that both coaches and players in any sport have ben asked to do the select- ing for The Tribune. If this feature proves popular it probably will become an annual affair. While The Tribune believes it has sent ballots to all schools where foot- ball was played this fall, it is possible scme school may have been overlooked. If ballots are not in the various coaches’ hands by Saturday, a letter to the Sports Editor will remedy the situation. Ballots have been sent to the follow- ing schools: Judson, Almont, New Salem, Glen Ullin, Hebron, Richard- ton High, Assumption Abbey, Dick- inson Model High, Belfield, Medora, Sentinel Butte, Beach, Carson, Elg!

M. for State Consolidated School Crown Steele, N. D., Nov. 11—Victors in sectional eliminations that advanced them to the finals in the state play- offs, Page and Haynes high schools’ six-man football teams will clash at 2 p.m. here today for the state con- solidated school championship. Haynes advanced to the state finals when Des Lacs, scheduled to play in the western regional challenge game, defaulted and Page's poweriul sextet moved up with a victory over last year’s champions, Sykeston. Steele was selected as the place at which the game was to be played because it is centrally located and “apparently because officials believed ov arrangements for the game.

From Page will come its high schvol band and a 40-car caravan of loyal home-town supporters. Steele’s band will also play and other plans are being made to make the game a mem- orable occasion. Officials will be Coach D. Moriart:y and Superintendent B. G. Gustafson of Linton, and Sink. COACHES STRONGLY OPPOSED TO MORE CHANGES IN RULES Only Three Are Suggested in Survey of North Dakota Prep Mentors (By the Associated Press) North Dakota’s football coaches, about evenly divided on the question of whether the 1937 rule changes had any material effect on the game, un- loosed a resounding protest against further rule changes. ‘This attitude was shown in a survey by the Associated Press of athletic mentors in state high schools in both Class A schools and smaller educa- tional institutions. ‘The recommendation of C.

Demons Won First The Demons and the Braves have tangled -on the football field once before this season, with the Bis- marck boys edging out a slim 6 to 0 victory over Mandan by virtue of Chuck Murray's brilliant 50-yard re- turn of a Mandan punt. Since then the Braves have been coming along fast to reach their peak with a 7 to 6 upset triumph over Valley City’s powerful eleven and a resounding victory over Dickinson's Midgets, which last week held Bis- marck to a scoreless tie and out- Played the Demons in doing so. Whether or not the Braves are still at their peak, fans who watched the two teams in their previous set-io know they can count on a battle autumns ago. Mike Jacobs and the other big shots aren’t dodging the smiling, German this time like they last June when he showed up for his “phantom” fight with Jim Braddock. This time Max comes hailed (if not heiled) like the first robin, of @ promising winter season of boxing that will keep a lot of the boys off the cuff and as personal advance agent terpret the ones we have wisely.” Three Changes Urged The “NO” to changes echoed and re-schoed around the state and only five schcols advanced ideas for changes, duplication reducing the number of changes involved to only three: Permitting easier substitution. Allowing man holding the ball for a place kick to touch his knee to the ground and still be able to run, pass or kick. Establishing 2 standard line de- fense, allcwing either a six or seven man Rule clarification was sought by one coach, A. L, Greenlee of Cando who asks for a clear statement covering the screening play. © On the substitution question, Lloyd Falgren of the Walsh county A. C., permit changes at any time without time out and Orrin C. Rife of Oakes would permit substitution anytime the ball is dead. The present setup for “holders-of- the-place-kick” eliminates, practic- ally, one of the finest threats of the game,” declared Coach Johnny Mach of Williston who with George New- gard of Hillsboro, recommended & change. Ernie Gates of Jamestown recom- mended the establishment of a stan- dard formation to balance the rule which “tells us how many men we can use on the line of scrimmage on of- fense. When an unorthodox defense is used high school players especially don’t know what to do” he said, “and injuries are usually the result.” : | Fights Last Night | oO (By the Associated Press) Detroit—Johnny Whiters, 201, Pontiac, Mich., knocked out Hank Hankinson, 210, Los Angeles, (1); Buddy Knox, 198, Dayton, Ohio, stopped Barney Brock, 202, Pana- ma City, (6).

Certain it is that the Warriors are much improved over the team that lost to Bismarck in the first meeting and with every member of the first-string eleven in top shape should have at least an even chance to even the season's score, ‘There was no wailing to be heard in the Bismarck camp as Coaches Glenn Hanna and George “Shaky” Schaumberg put their charges through preparatory workouts, despite last week's unexpected setback at the hands of the fighting Midgets.
