throughout the state various player
has been our work to sift these star
North Dakota football was marked
this year by numerous outstand-
ing backs and ends while linemen
from tackle to tackle were of the
steady type, lacking the flashiness
Of performers in the past decade.
Heidi Is Captain
Selected to lead the first team
was Heidi of Mandan. He is one of
the best quarterbacks developed in
years. Exceptional on both the
offense and defense he was the life
of his team. He was without a peer
when it came to running, passing,
kicking or directing the strategy.
His ability to diagnose opponents
tactics was also marked and he was
a deadly tackler.
DuChene is of the same type as
Heidi. A veteran of many battles
ne was the keystone of the Forks
play. DuChene was particularly
dangerous with the ball, being a
slippery runner, one who has a
change of pace, hip-swing and an
uncanny ability to pick holes.
Harmon Of Williston scintillated in
every game that Joe Cuttings team
ra-t'cipated in. On Harmon and
HEIDI the kicking duties would fall
and both would render excellent ac-
counts in this phase Of the game.
Harmon tended more to the line
smashing type but was also capable
at swinging the ends. His forte
was leading the interference.
Messy Dynamic
Messy Of Fargo is q dynamic
performer. An excellent blocker he
paved the way for many of the runs
Of his fleet mates, Allison and
Simons. The rotund fullback Of the
Midgets was also the best defensive
back that Bob Lowe boosted.
Hedstrom of Bismarck and Borre-
son Of Mandan were given the end
positions. Both men are adept at
receiving passes, both were down
under punts ready to toss the re-
ceiver, both were vicious tacklers
and always turned the play in. Thew
lar outshone any other wingmen in
the state.
In Schrumm of Valley City and
Mackenroth of Minot, the all-state
would have two big and powerful
tackles of the smashing type. Both
could stand ton Of abuse and then
hurl another ton against opposing
players. Mackenroth also was a
kicker OF no mean ability and could
hit the line like 4 thunderbolt.
Walt Folendorf of Fargo played
tackle but is shifted to guard be-
cause Of his stature which is of the
squat type that can cause a pileup
and continually harass a center.
fitzgerald is adept at breaking
through a line and at diagnosing
moves.
Center Was Star
Much Of the Williston's success
at getting their lightning offense
under way was due to the accurate
spirals that McGrath sent back.
Sturdy, he could not be budeed on
the offense while on the defense he
was equally good at crashing through
the line or dropping back to stop
the aerial game.
We turned to the sticks" for
numerous Of our lineup on the second
team largely because they sparkled
m defeat and q player that can star
while his team is failing would more
than star on powerful aggregation.
Johnny Fisher Of Hillsboro was the
mainstay of his squad. About him
