tain Of the second eleven because
he received the highest vote. Fleck's
all-around ability at kicking, rum
ming, sharing passes, and putting up
q strong defense at his wing are his
qualifications.
John Stoke, Grafton tackle, was
placed on two first elevcns. He
weighs 1877 pounds and is nearly 6
feet in height. He is strong and has
an excellent football head, according
to his coach, "Bub" Nelson. Grafton
made a good showing through the
great line work of Stoke. He could
also be called upon to carry the ball,
as he is fast and shifty despite his
weight and has an effective straight
arm. Nelson says Stoke is one Of
the best captains Grafton has ever
had, and the northern city has put
out some noteworthy teams in the
last decade.
LaGrande Whitman, Grand Forks
guard, was placed on two first and
two second teams. He "beat up"
every man he met, broke through
repeatedly, is great blocker, and
was exceptionally fast in coming out
Of the line to run interference. He
weighs 165 pounds.
McGrath at Pivot
Horace McGrath, Williston pivot
man, was given posts on two first
outfits and one second team. HE
should easily get the post" Johnny
Mach has said.
frankie Clinton, another Grand
Forks guard and veteran in basket
ball tournaments, was placed on two
first machines and one second out
fit. Central's captain was out of
position most of the season while
stationed in the backfield, but is a
responsible lneman and great on
running interference.
Art Orness, Valley City tackle.
who also played in the backfield
when punch was needed, was given
first positions by two coaches. He
is big and rugged boy who can
open holes and run interference well.
He weighs 10 pounds.
Lukins, Williston wing, was placed
on three first elevens. He is large
man, a good receiver of passes,
speedy on getting down under punts,
and is great defensive player.
All men receiving honorable men,

'225,000 WATCH
BIG TEN CLOSE
Minnesota Carries the Hope of
Four Contenders Against
Wisconsin

Chicago, Nov. 24.-(R-Minne-
sofas "thundering horde" carried
the championship hopes and fears Of
four teams Is the Big Ten football
campaign ended on four widely sep
arated fronts today.
Three of the teams-Illinois, Ohio
State, and Iowa-built their cham
pionship hopes on the ability Of
Minnesota to stop Wisconsin at
Madison and their own abilities to
win today, while the Badgers hoped
to halt Minnesota and thereby annex
their first Big Ten football crown
since 1912.
With Ohio State invading Illinois,
Minnesota clashing with Wisconsin,
and Iowa fighting against Michigan
at Ann Arbor, a days crowd Of
225,000 or more, the biggest in the
Big Tens history, was expected to
see the curtain fall. Two other con-
tests, Dartmouth at Northwestern
and Indiana at Purdue, helped to
swell the attendance mark.
Every contest, except that between
Iowa and Michigan, in which the
Hawkeyes were big favorites, was
regarded as 4 tossup. \
The Ohio State illinois game
marked the last game as Buckeye
coach for Jack Wilce, whose resig-
nation is effective this winter. Each
team has been defeated, but with q
chance for the title both elevens ex-
pected to give everything they had
to win. Fifty thousand were on
hand to watch the battle.
A battle of passes was promised
at Evanston, where Dartmouth sent
its rejuvenated team to meet North
western in the only intersectional
combat of the western conference
card. Both teams have exhibited
flashes of power, despite poor sea-
sons.
The "Old Oaken Bucket" was the
tocsin of battle between Indiana and
Purdue, and Lafayette was football
mad. The two have been rivals al
most since football began.

college football camps today.
Yale and Harvard ring down the
curtain on a season nothing better
than mediocre at best with their

and hard to spill. He is a junior

ITO pounds and is fast on his feet.

pull out and lead the interference.
He is lanky man who is playing
his third year Of high school foot
ball.
Three coaches put Earl "Biff"
Hoffman, Bismarck center. on their
first team and two gave him second
honors. Though he was a great
passer and could open holes in the
line, he shone particularly as a de-
fensive man. He was an ideal man
for rowing center as he played full
back in the fall of 1927. He is a
vicious tackler and capable at dag
nosing plays. He knocked down and
intercepted passes all over the field.
He weighs 160 pounds.
Weible Is Guard
Ralph bud" Weible, Fargo, was
placed at guard on the first eleven
by three coaches. Though he started
the season at fullback, he was shifted
to guard, to which position he proved
most adapted. He was a great man
on running interference and block
ing, besides playing a consistently
good defensive game.
Kenneth Murney, Grand Forks
tackle, was placed on three first and
two second elevens. He is six feet
one inch tall and weighs IT'S pounds.
He is fast. being especially great on
knitting through the offensive line
and getting backs before they start.
He tore up every line he played
against, and was fast at getting
down under punts.
Leonard Ferguson, Valley City
end, was placed on three first and
two second elevens. The Hiliner
captain was the boy who scored the
touchdown which caused the Bis
marck eleven so much worry for
three quarters.
Lloyd Mcdonald. Mandan quarter
back, was put on two first and two
second choices. He was picked for
his speed, elusiveness, ability to hit
the line and ends, complete passes,
and ground gaining ability.

AUBURN, SEWANEE
LAG AFTER HAVING
HONOR YEARS AGO

Atlanta, Nov. 24.-(P)-The RAM
pant spirit of the gay nineties will
live again in the Old South as grand
mother and grandfather "whoop 'er
up" at Thanksgiving Day football
classics.
While the collegiate sheik and
flapper will be there, it'll be the
aged and gray of another genera
ton who will see ghosts Of great
teams of the past personified in
more modern gridiron trappings.
The old guard Of alma mater will
revel in the days of Auburn and
Sewanee's glory. The heroic deeds
of old Virginia and North Carolina
ball carriers will be brought to
memory as they watch the struggle
Of present-day stars. s
A half dozen clashes in Dixie that
day, at least, date back as far as the
COS.
Auburn playing Georgia Tech at
Atlanta; Sewanee invading Wander
bilt at Nashville; Ole Miss engaging
Mississippi A. & MS Maroon; Tu-
lane playing Louisiana State; North
Carolina testing Virginia at Char
lottesville; Kentucky encountering
Tennessee at Knoxville-all Of these
games carry classic memories of
master line plungers and iron like
tacklers.
The Plainsmen of Auburn have
met the Golden Tornado of Georgia
Tech on Thanksgiving since football
was instituted in the South. The
Tarhcels and Cavaliers have played
since long before the twentieth cen
fury. Sewanee and Vanderbilt have
tested strength on Turkey Day for
approximately 80 years.
Only one coach, however, can sit
on the bench and recall all Of the
days of his teams glory. Dan Nc
Gugin has been head Of Vanderbilt
football for Is years.
Yet, in these renewals of ancient
rivalries runs an ironical vein.
Twenty-Five years ago Auburn and
Sewanee were in their heydey.
Modern football has found them
tagging, momentarily, at least.
Football has run in cycles though
and their alumni see q day of re-
turning glory ahead.
Yes, many ghosts Of football's
past will roam Southern fields
THANKSGIVING.
