Pharmer and Barnhart, Mime

only a slow recovery, and that's no

without kicker. As a result of this
situation Minnesota revealed one of

in the Wisconsin game that has re-

They hurried almost every Wisconsin
kick to such an extent that it mat
tered little whether the Badger full
back could kick or not. He wasn't
allowed to. If the Gopher punts
had averaged 80 yards they would
have been better than those of the
opposition.
To date Minnesota has scored So
more points than any other Western
Conference team, Illinois, with no
being next highest to the Spear

CHANNEL SWIM
SEASON ENDS
American Women Hold Record
For Number of Crossings
Hoax Draws Comment

Folkestonc, England, Nv. 2.-(P)
Another season of channel swim.
ming has closed with American
women still leading their sisters OF
other lands.
Within one week two young wom-
IN of Great Britain threatened the
American supremacy as they kicked
the wild and chilly stretch Of water
between England and France behind
them.
But one afterward announced
that he swim was "hoax" and the
other failed to match the marks
Of Gertrude Ederle and Mrs. Glenn
ington Corson, both Americans.
Four women have conquered the
channel, the last to achieve the feat
being Ivy Gill, Sheffield, England.
The season apparently was closed
by the unsuccessful "vindication'
swim Of Miss Mercedes Gleitz, Lon
don typist.
To Vindicate Claims
Having already swan the Chan
mel, Miss Gleitz sought to vindicate
the claims of British women SWIM
mers by another attempt after DR..
Dorothy Cochrane Logan, London
medical officer, stated that her pre-
vios announcement of a record of
Is hours and 10 minutes was q
"hoax" ..trpetratcd in order ia
show the necessity of supervision of
such swims. It developed that DR..
Logan had spent eight hours and SO
minutes Of the time aboard Q con-
voying vessel.
Miss Gleitz is the first English
woman to succeed in crossing the
channel under her own motive pow
er. Miss Ederle holds the women's
record at IA hours, AZ minutes.
Half Of the $500 prize which
Miss Gleitz won for her achieve
ment is to be devoted to charity.
For some time-she is but 26 years
old-it has been the young lady's
dream to aid the homeless men
and women who sleep out along
the Thames river Embankment, and
her aim is to help in founding a
home for them.
1t was Miss Gleitz's eighth at
tempt, and it was the first time
the channel had been conquered SO
late in the season-October Z. She
swan from France to the English
coast, and was in the water about
Is hours, during that time taking
a little tea now and then, some
grapes and quite bit Of honey.
The worst of the ordeal was the bit
ter chill of the water, she said.
Miss Gleitz will try again next
year, she says, planning to tackle
the more difficult task Of swimming
from England to France.
She has several offers to go on
the music halls. Anyway, she says
she does not expect to continue her
career as business girl.

New York, Nov. 2.--tF1--The
fame that goes with election on the
mythical All American football
eleven may be retained this fall by
only two Of the group tina. stood out
at the close of the 1926 cole, grid
iron campaign.
Only Mortimer Spraguc, rangy
Army tackle, a..d Herb Joesting,

the Associated Press from the
opinions of more than 100 coaches
and critics.
The others have graduated, some,
like Friedman Of Michigan and
Baker Of Northwestern, to profess

Hanson Of Syracuse, heve turned to
coaching.
Joesting May Repeat
Spraguc and Joesting, however,
have at least an even chance to do
the unusual and repeat the distinc-
ton accorded them last year. The

Bill Spears, Vanderhilt's clever
quarterback on last seasons second
team, has started his quest for a
post on the first ele:en, vacated by
Benney Friedman of Michigan.
Almquist of Minnesota, Drury of
Southern California and MacPhail
Of Dartmouth are other field gen.
erals who, on the basis of October
form, seem among Spears keenest
rivals.
Harry Wilson, veteran Army
captain, also was on the 1925 Sec

knows all the stunts in the game
and is out to wind up his Cadet ca

Emerson Nelson, Iowa tackle and

another star ambitious to jump
from the comparative obscurity of
the second team to the spotlight

VALLEY CITY II
TO PLAY HERE
Demons, Hi-Liners to Clash on
Hughes Field-Hard Battle
Is Anticipated

Intensive drills in preparation for
the Valley City Bismarck clash here
Saturday were scheduled to begin
tonight for the Demons.
After two days of light workouts,
the players are to get down to the
grind tonight, with special attention
to the offense prominent part of
the schedule and with emphasis also
placed on the passing game.
Bismarck emerged from the game
with Mobridge last Saturday with
out any injuries, although the
southern team was not quite so for
tunate. In the game against Valley
City, Coach Mcleod will be able to
send in his lineup intact. Ernest
Benser, injured in the Minot game,
will be on the sidelines, but other
members Of the team will see serv-
ice.
Valley City's ability this year is
more or less of an unknown guam
tity, but the fact that Fargo was
only able to score u points to their
6 indicates to fans that a hard bat
tie is in prospect Saturday. Shrum,
who was basketball luminary, is
also shining light on the Hi-Liner
team.
The probable lineup for Bismarck
will be much like the line up in the
Mobridge game, Coach Roy D.. Nc.
Leod said today. That would make
it son. ething like this: Landers
left end; Paris, left guard; Slattery
left tackle; Roberts or Cervinsky
center; klipstein, right guard; He'd
strom, right end; Adam Brown OF
Meinhover. right tackle; Dunn OF
dollhouse, right half; H. Brown O
Benser, left half; Hoffman o
O'Hare, fullback and jacobson O
Fay Brown, quarter.

Walker Drops Old Fighter
Without Tr0ublc-Mike Out
Five Minutes Before He I'm.
derstands who Threw the
BriCk'-CrOwd Kids Referee
Barry, Hero of Tunney-
Dempsey Fight

Chicago, Nov. 2. y (AP) Dave
Barry, the referee who made a name
for himself as he counted over Gene
Tunney last September, could have
counted 800 over the ancient Mike
McTigue last night for all Mike
cared.
Barry, appearing for the first
time since the Tunney-Dempsey
fight, was the third man in the ring
as McTigue, looking frail and drawn,
faced Mickey Walker, the middle
weight champion for what was sup
posed to be 10 rounds of fighting.
Actually. the fight lasted two min
utes and 10 seconds-not including
the five minutes McTigue was un-
conscious.
Goes Down Three Times
Three times Mike went down be-
fore a smart, chanlpion-like attack.
The first time he was up at nine,
but groggy. Walker, avoiding Demp-
sey's error, went to the far corner
Of the ring. When McTigue got up,
Mickey tatooed the older fighters
nlidsection and then when the Nc
Tirue guard dropped, sent lefts and
rights to the jaw. McTigue fell
against the ropes and slid to the
canvas.
Up at nine, Mike was a wide open
mark for Walkers machine gun
speed and cannon power. McTigue
was out against the ropes, hanging
partly from the ring over the mid
die strand. Then he slumped to the
floor and the formality Of count
was completed. In his corner his
seconds labored long before Mike,
principal in many great fight and
former light heavyweight cham
pion himself, was able to UNDER
stand who threw the brick.
Walker, who won his title in Chi
cago, beating Tiger Flowers, was
not the only one jubilant over the
way last nights fight ended.
His manager, Jack Kearns, said
that Walker is now ready for Jack
Dempsey, whom Kearns piloted to
the heavyweight championship.
Mickey, according to kearns, aspires
to hold the middleweight, light
heavyweight and heavyweight cham
pionships all at the same time, just
as Robert Fitzsimmons did.
Try SLOW Count
Referee Barry was as much GEN.
ter of interest last night as either
Of the principals. When Barry ap-
peare. to referee .one Of the pre-
liminaries, the crowd swung into a
"slow count" which went to lathe
number Of seconds Dempsey support
ers have insisted Tunney remained
on the floor in the much-discussed
seventh round at Soldiers field. Be-
tween each round Of the prelimin-
airy this sonorous count was re-
peated..
Another fast knockout was writ
ten into the books in the semi-wind-
up when the smuggling Cuban light
heavy, Ro!,aux Saguero, stopped
Benny Ross of Buffalo after % Sec
onds Of fighting in the second round.
One blow finished Ross, vicious

shooting in the final stages of the
initial match play in the National
Professional Golf association tour
nament here, the second round to-
day found most of the favorites
grouped in the upper bracket for
the new onslaught.
The attack Of young professionals
on veterans yesterday forced even
Walter Hagen to the height of form
in his quest for his fifth profess
sional championship. Matched
against Jack Farrell, Glenhead, N.
Y, the defending champion found
himself four down at the end Of the
first 18 holes.
Hagsn Flusters Farrell
Hagen, however, sank a 30-foot
putt to start the afternoon play and
so frustrated Farrell that the
youngster missed five-foot putt
and lost the hole. hagen evened
the match on the 28th hole and con-
tinued his consistent play to win
three to two.
Tommy Armour, national open
title holder, conquered Johnny Far
rell of Mamaroneck, N. Y, who has
won eight open championships this
year. The match ended wien Ar
mour's steadiness gave him a. four
to three wiz.
Hagen's victory left him facing
Tony Manero of New York, who
downed Bobby Cruickshank Of Pur-
chase, N. Y, four and two. Armour
was matched today with Tom Har-
mon of Yonkers, victor over John
Parrelia. 20-year-old Californian,
four and three.
The Cruickshank- Msnero match
and the defeat of Bill Mehlhorn of
New York by William Kline, also of
the metropolitan district, furnished
the upsets of the round. Klein won
| up, when Mehlhorn trimmed the
hole to miss a long putt.
