Minnesota received the distinc- tion of having all her entrants in the balloting elected to places on the squad. Three Minnesota players, Sheldon guard, will be in the lineup at the kickoff. The Gophers, with the help of four other linemen, could put a formidable team on the gridiron. The backfield would have Beise at full, George Roscoe at right half, Babe Levoir at left half, and Glenn Seidel at quarter. In the line, Dale Rennebohm {would be at center, Oech at one of the guards and Smith at tackle. Minnesota has not been defeated since 'way back in 1932, All seven Gophers are adept at _Ithe brutal blocking taught by Coach Bernie Bierman—and expert block- ing will be necessary if yardage is to be gained against ihe powerful Detroit Lions. The first all-star game with the Chicago Bears two years ago ended in a scoreless tie. Last year the Bears beat the all-Stars by the narrow margin of a field goal, booted by Fullback Jack Manders, another Minnesota gridder of a few seasons past. ‘SPORT SLANTS Manager Charlie Grimm is hav- ing his own kind of troubles with Grimm is not facing a shortage of hurling talent, but an over-abun- 13.—Seven | ‘gallopin;z Gophers, who never play- Beise at fullback; all-America Dick‘ Smith at tackle and Vern Oech at| his pitching staff.
