T THE BUCKET By John Hijelle Amid all this controversy about five-man defensive lines and re- stricted offensive play in the great grid sport C. A. West of North Dakota university sallies forth with an idea which may well supply the missing quantity in close, scoreless, and highly de- fensive contests. West suggests that we Americans include the Canadian “rouge” as a means of bettering the offensive pos- sibilities of the game. The ‘rouge’ is simply a kick over the goal line which goes beyond the end zone aad can't be trundled back, a kick into the zone and the safety man unab'e to get back across the goal line before being tackled. West's arguments are positive and extensive, but in the main he claims it will: force more safety In Top Terry Said to Have Offered Man- cuso, Three Others, Cash in Deal to Get Hurler Milwaukee, Dec, 2—(#)—Van Lingle Mungo, the pitching truant wno caused Burleigh Grimes most of nis headaches last season in Flatbush, was the big headache man of the major- minor league ivory mart Thursday Every National league club, notab:y the New York Giants and the Chi- cago Cubs, wanted to get the tempera- mental chucker from Dixie but Man- ager Grimes, getting his first chan ‘e to do the talking in a deal, held out for very high stakes. As a result, the entire player mac- ket was clogged and almost listiess except for some American and minor men to try for the ball, thereby Providing (1) more fumbles (2) tore unsuccessful run backs, (3: more leeway for passing, (4) more spectacular open field running and punt-catching. He cites as his major argument the fact that most Canadian audiences jump to their feet whenever a kick slants down toward the goal line. ‘They know it means a point if it isn’t run back or kicked out of the end zone. And scoring in football is what thrills the spectator. North Da- kota players and coaches ought to know for they have made seve-al jaunts into Manitoba the past de- cade to tangle with excellent Winni- peg teams. xe * EVERYBODY HELPED : Ordinarily when a team takes 2 loop championship that team possesses an outstanding ball car- rier who tops the league in scor- ing. Such was the case in 1936 when Fritz Pollard first ran wild against the 1.C. opposition, but strangely enough, the very reverse was the case in 1937 when the Nodaks won again. This time the nine touchdowns that permitted them to sweep the thvee games against loop opponents were scored by six different players: Hor- ®ce Johnson was good for three count- ers; Pollard, two; and Gehrke, Gainoc, Brenkus, and Kahl one apiece. Proof that the 1937 Sioux were not a one- man team. * ok RIGHT HERE AT HOME We don’t have to look very far to find 2 claimant to gridiron scoring honors. Down at Linton is the well-known Walter Dobler, Lion quarterback whose play has stamped him as one of the out- standing ball carriers in the state. One hundred nineteen points is Dobler’s tally for the season—I102 of them scored on touchdown runs and 17 on after- touchdown conversions. In addition, he has passed for cther touchdowns and figured in stiil thers to have a major part in al- most every Linton tally. Altogether the Lions scored 185 points to 64 for tieir opponents. And here's the rec- erd Coach J. D. Moriarity has com- piled since he began tutoring the Linton boys: 16 games won, three tied and four lost. Six of that num- ber were with class A schools, * eK TREY STAND ALONE Wahpeton Science school's football team claims the honor of being the enly North Dakota college football team undefeated this season. Tied only once, by Jamestown college, the Ecientists won six of their seven games this fall to stretch their undefeated string to 12. Last year the Wildcats went through their last five games without losing in winning the North ~ Dakota college conference title which they successfully defended this yea:. Their record: , Science school 15, Bottineau School ot Forestry 0. Science school 12, NDAC freshmen Science school 32, Mayville teach- ers 13, Science school 38, Valley City 0.

It was Miniclier’s first sea- #0n &5 & grid coach and came about when Mandel Grove, last year’s coach, was forced to give up coaching be- cause of a serious operation he un- sderwent last summer . . . Independ- ent cage teams looking for games may be able to arrange some with the Wenhoff-Goodrich Twins by con- tacting L. Thompson, Denhoff, the ‘Twins’ manager . .. Robert Worl and Walter Losk, star performers witn this year’s Watford City high school league action. Mancuso to Go? Col. William Harold Terry was re- ported to have offered Pitcher Ual Schumacher, Catcher Gus Mancuso Cutfielder Hank Leiber, First Base- man John McCarthy and a goud chunk of Owner Horace Stoneham’, dough for Mungo and first basemar. Buddy Hassett, The Cubs’ best offer, according +o grapevine information, was first base- man Rip Collins, outfielder Tuck Stainback, pitcher Clay Bryant and cash for Mungo. Grimes wanted Frank Demaree from the Cubs or Catcher Harry Danning from the Giants to boot and it was no go. After several thousand huddles on'y ene strictly major league swap was made. That was a swap of Pitcher Ed Linke by Washington to the St. Louis Browns for Elon Hogsett, vet- eran southpaw. Rookies for Stars Most of the American league clul meanwhile, were trying to land es! blushed stars for benchwarming rookies and getting no place fast though many bona fide offers for swaps were made. The Boston Red Sox, ready to do some fancy dealing with a little encouragement, twice were turned down, Many observers detected a bitter fight in progress between the St. Louis Cardinals and the New York Yankees over farm business, One report war the Cardinals charged the Yankees with bringing up a new crisis in the college player question by spending $76,000, in bonuses to campus stars for signing during the last five years. A proposal is up before the major and minor leagues to prohibit the signing of college players until their Class is graduated unless their co:- lege president okays it. BRANCH RICKEY TO KEEP HOLD ON MEDWICK, DIZZY DEAN Milwaukee, Dec, 2—(#)—If there’s any price tag hanging on Joe Medwick of the St. Louis Cardinals it will read Bi “$1,000,000 plus.” That's how high Branch Rickey, Cardinal chieftain values the heavy- hitting outfield star, and to lay low the stubborn rumor that Medwick will be sold during the current baseball meetings, Rickey Thursday explained that “only if we were Mquidating the entire organization would Medwick be disposed of.” Rickey paused long enough in his hotel suite to talk about his two best known pieces of diamond “ivory” Medwick and the “forgotten man’— Dizzy Dean, “Medwick is not for sale and will Not be traded,” Rickey said. What's going to become of “good ’Ol Diz?” well, for one thing, Rickey 4s going to keep the eccentric hurler who was biggest topic of conversation at the 1936 meetings and who appar- ently is forgotten this year.

HE RISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, DECEMBER Bismarck Youth to Help Lead Cobber Cagers on Road Trip largely responsible for Concordia vic- tories so far this season over NDAC and Mayville Teachers college. ‘The Cobber road trip starts Satur- day, Dec. 4, at Bemidji, Minn., and from there Coach Tom Scott takes his cagers to Eau Claire, Wis., Teachers college, Augustana college at Rock jgisiand, Ill, the College og Osteopathy Imps, Angel Bismarck High, St. Mary's Sec- ond Stringers to Meet in Preliminary Game Maybe they don’t keep the interest of fans quite as much as first-string squads do, but this business of play- ing basketball is just as serious a proposition to the Imps and the Angels as it is to their more pub- licized brothers-in-sport. The Imps and the Angels are the second-string Bismarck high schovl and St. Mary’s high school basketball squads, and they meet to settle an ergument of long standing in a pre- liminary game before the Demons and Saints clash here Friday night. ‘The games will be in the World War Memorial building, with the prelim- inary fracas billed to start at 7:15 p. m and the main go to follow imme- diately after. Coach Clement Kelley has been put- ting his Angel cage aspirants throug.. daily paces with several men fighting for positions. Practically the same Iineup as started the opener against Solen last week will answer the whistle against the Imps of Bismarck, he said. Most probable change would see Tom Fox, who-saw service with both the Saints and the Angels last week, starting at one of the forward posts against the Imps. Huss Drills Imps Irvin Huss is putting the. Imps through workouts following the De- mon’s drills, with 14 candidates on| his squad. The Saints, tired by a week's strenuous routine drilling, were due tu get a rest Thursday afternoon, with cnly target practice on their program. Kelley has been putting them through scrimmages daily this week. The Demonts likewise were in for a rest Thursday after several week's of stiff preparatory drilling. Just exactiy who will start in the Bismarck lineup Hanna was unwilling to say Thursday, indicating that most members of the squad would get into the game for at least @ little while. * It will be the first start for the Demons this”fall and will serve to give fans and coach alike a chance to find out for themselves just how the outfit that was nosed out in tne finals of the state tournament here last year will stand up without four of last year’s stalwarts in the lineup.
