Star, and Jack Fisher, Hills.
boro Flash, Outstanding in
Backfield; Stars Report to
Coaches from Five States


freshmen grid turnouts of former
years, about Is eager athletes from
five states reported to Coach Robert
A. Lowe, North Dakota Agricultural
college frosh mentor, Tuesday. This
unexpected deluge Of future varsity
aspirants found the Bison athletic
department minus some 20 green
shirted uniforms, a discrepancy that
necessitated pressing into service old
clothes a-la-hobo until new grid ar
NOR can be procured. There is also
probability that more men will ar
rive as. the season progresses.
While Director G. G. Finnegan was
pleased with the fine array of talent
coming from North and South Da-
kota, Wisconsin, Minnesota and ILL.,
nois, he was delighted over the fact
that by far the greater number of
athletes are products Of North Da-
kota high schools. Mr.. Finnegan
considers this an improvement over
other years when Dakota gridsters
milrats4 ;to institutions in other
states.
Two Are Outstanding
Two yearling footballers distinctly
stand out in the myriad Of newcom-
ers. ICY" Lonsbrough, former Far
60 high school star, played fullback
on the Michigan University frosh ag-
gregation two years ago, and looks
good for q regular berth. ICY" is
rugged, and can do just about every
thing expected Of backfield man.
Coming here with the reputation of
being second Claude Miller" is
Jack Fisher, late Of Hillsboro high
school gridiron fame. If Fisher can
only partly fill Claudie's deserted
shoes, Bison fans will be elated.
Park River contributed three enl-
bryo stars to the Bison cause. Leo
Thomson, Lloyd Gullickson and
Jack Mcpherson look good, and the
former two are basketball stars as
well. Besides Fisher, Hillsboro sent
three other likely. looking grid pros
poets in Harvey Clifford, tackle; Al
vim Hong, tackle, and Arnold john
son, guard.
From Grafton, where more Bison
grid stars have been trained than in
any other town, Sam Westgate, full
back and court star, and Stanley
Raymond, huge tackle, are showing
up well. Blair Sets, star lineman,
represents Mandan, while Alfred
Jaeger and George Brackin are dis
playing what Hankinson has to Of
fer in the way Of football. Brock
enridge, Mimi, which has not been
represented in. Bison athletic circles
for q number Of years, made up for
lost time by dispatching Frank Sc
cora, Clifford Westgard and Carl
Hanson to the yearling camp.
