CAUSING WORRY
Classy Fullback Suffers from
Charleyh0rse, Result of
Mandan Game
MAY START GAM e
Lanky End Suffers Hurt An.
kle; Green Struggles With
Stiff Back
MAY START GAM E

The Bismarck Demons have been
struck hard by injuries.
A charleyhorse, presumably
caused by crack in the Mandan
game last Saturday, has developed
in Johnny O'Hare's thigh. The
classy fullback has not worked out
in the regular lineup this week and
it is doubtful that he will be able
to play, and play up to standard, if
he does enter the game against Far
60 here Saturday.
Coach Roy Mcleod Monday night
began to work Willie Greene into
O'Hare's position at full. Greene
might have been able to make great
use Of his speed in the back posi-
ton. But Greene strained his back
in the Monday scrimmage, and he
has not been able to block or tackle
since. So he has joined O'Hare in
walking up and down behind the
regulars during signal and scrim-
mage drills.
The third injured man on the
squad is Big Ted Meinhover, the
wing who reached up in the clouds
to snare passes. Ted is suffering
from a badly twisted ankle, and
finds it hard to move about. Last
night Mcleod used him Mt his wing
position for the first time this week,
and the lanky fellow did not do so
we'll.
Outside Of these three major in
juries, the Demons will be in fine
shape for the game Saturday and
they are being given routine work
outs this week mixed up with a bit
Of polishing off work on blocking,
running interference, and tackling.
Fargo also has suffered major
injury. Walter. Folendorf, Midget
giant tackle and captain this year,
injured his ankle in a practice ses-
sion Monday and, according to re-
ports from Fargo, has been unable
to do any rough work with the Mid
get eleven this week. But Mcleod
expects to see the behemoth captain
line up against the Demons Satur-
day in spite of the INJURY.

on sale this year, many tickets were

state college freshman football team
will meet Madison normal in the
yearlings' first game of the season
here Saturday afternoon.
Coach Eckberg has been giving his
squad long workouts this week in
preparation for 4 tough game. Re-
ports from Madison are that the

from last year, with Captain Buck,

Due to the size of the squad, Eek

look the frosh over carefully, but

in years, averaging better than $50
pounds from end to end. Following

SCHOOL AWAITS
JIMMIE ALUMS
jamestown College Has Home.
coming This Weekend;
Meet Huron College
Especial to The Tribune)


jamestown, Oct. 4.-Jamestown
college is planning great things for
its annual Homecoming program and
football game Friday and Saturday.
Despite the poor showing made by
tho inexperienced Jimmies last
week with the powerful Nodaks,
Coach Ericsson feels confident that
his fighting Jimmies can scalp the
Scalpers Of Huron college.
This week has been spent at hard
labor whipping the Jamestown COL
lege gridiron moving machine into
action. "Red" says he has 4 real
team instead Of eleven players. Sew
eral shifts in the lineup have helped
to caulk the weak places. Coons has
been shifted to guard and Sale to
end. The backfield has been COM
pletely rearranged, with Purdy. a
new man, calling signals.
Soderholm, ex-star of Jamestown
high school, is going like q million
dollars" and others are going like
q "half-a-million." A setback to
this optimism, however, is the injury
Of Jensen Tuesday evening in prac-
tice scrimmage.
A huge crowd is expected to wit
ness the game, including q large
percentage of the alumni. Booster
ticket downtown sales are smashing
the line hard. A parade that beats
Barnum and Bailey's will immedi-
ately precede the game. The crown
ing Of the football queen, Miss Mae
Stoddart Of Jamestown, will take
place between halves. Parties, pro-
grams, torchlight professions, and
an alumni banquet are other features
on the program.

WEST ENTERTAINS
q PREP ELEVENS
AT STATE AFFAIR

Grand Forks, N. D.. Oct. 4.-(R-
Under an arrangement made by c.
A. West, athletic director Of the Uni
versity Of North Dakota, all high
school football teams in the state
and any neighboring Minnesota
towns will be guests at the Univer-
sity of South Dakota State Home
coming game October 20.
West stated last night that 81
high schools had already accepted
his invitation to attend the game and
these squads will bring approximate
ly $50 high school athletes to Grand
Forks for the occasion. Many other
schools have not sent in their &C.
ceptances yet and Coach West is
hopeful that he will have at least IS
squads present.
This is>an event West held in hon
or of the high schools each year at
South Dakota State and during his
last few years at that institution he
had as high as so high school squads
on hand for the big game of the
year, he said.
Attractive seat reservations have
been made for the visitors by the
coach in the east stadium stand. All
high school teams, he said, will be
placed in one section. A list of the
squads who will be present, with the
name Of the coach and the number
of men, follows:
Wahpeton high school, Harold F.
Melvey, II men; Grafton, G. N. Mel.
son, II; Finley High School. G. o.

Nelv York for Once Is Home Team as
Xdnks and Cards Line Up for Opener

had the honor of being the first in
line for the bleacher tickets.
Neither Of the rival managers had
any deviation to announce from
plans made yesterday, although both
Mckechnie and Higgins attempted
to be evasive regarding pitching Sc
lections. Hoyt and Sherdel were
unanimously chosen by the grand
stand managers, and this fixed the
batting order Of the ccntenders.
The Yankees have two positions
third base and center fiell-whcre
the performer will be governed by
the rival pitching. Against the
southpaw Sherdel Paschal will play
center and Dugan third.
burst will relieve Paschal and
Robertson takes Dugan's place
when right handlers arc in the St.
Louis box. For the Cardinals, Harp
err will have the right field patrol
against normal pitching and Helm
will get in against Zachary.
Higgins reaffirmed his intention
to lead off with Paschal or burst
and follow through with the rest of
the batting order just as it was at
the close Of the season, rather than
make a shift to promote Koening
to the lead-off post. McKechnie' s
battle array will preserve the line
up which clinched the pennant for
the Cardinals.
Fans Are Won
Won to the Yankees by their ire
mendous stand against the Athletics
four weeks ago when three out of
four were taken by the Hugmen
from their most dangerous rivals,
New York fans worked an enthusi-
asm unprecedented in recent base
ball history. The game fight of the
Hugmen through the west in the
face of obstacles sealed the case in
favor Of the home team. This city
OF almost too many winners more
often than not feels disposed to
cheer for the opposition, which
usually is in the appealing role of
the underdog.
The Cardinals will receive their
full share of the plaudits, but they
no longer will enjoy the sentimental
advantage they possessed in 1926
when they emerged from the base
bal; wilderness for the first time in
the history o. the National League.

74.Year.Old Texan Has the
Honor Of Being the First in
Line for Bleacher Seats;
Standing Room Limited;
Sherdel, Hoyt Are Picked

New York. Oct. 4.-(P)-For once
in its baseball life, New York be-
came a "home team" town today as
the embattled Yankees plugged
crevices In their Harlem river citadel
against an expected onslaught by
the St. Louis Cardinals. Father
knickerbocker was in the first stage
of his fifteenth modern world series,
but it might well have been mistaken
for his first, with $4,000 fans march
ing upon the Rupert stadium eager
to yell the home forces on to vic
tory.
Indications of Indian summer sun
shine fired the baseball spirit as it
had not been fired for years past in
this vicinity. The ominous shadow
Of Wee Willie Sherdel. he Of the left
handed magic, remained across the
path of the Yankees, but New York
fans were willing to string along
with Waite Hoyt--and the sort Of
fight with which the hugmen pulled
themselves along to the American
League pennant by their very boot
straps.
The Cardinals still were favored
to take the series, but word had
spread over the city of the gay
capers Yankee cripples cut at the
stadium yesterday when the SUM-
shine finally appeared and really
gave them a chance. Earl Combs
was definitely out of the fight, with
Benny Paschcl and Cedric burst
scheduled to alternate in his place,
but the other Yankee cripples were
up and about and the Babe was al
most playful.
Standing Room Limited
Limitations of standing room
promised to hold the crowd about
10000 short Of the record assem-
blage of 1926 clients for the his
toric Yankee-Athletic double-header
on September 8 last, but $4,000
would be just II. 400 above the pres
emit world series record held by the
current contenders in the second
game Of their 1926 series on Sunday,
October 8.
Fans in bulk showed a disinclina-
ton to keep an all night vigil for
unreserved seats. The New York
bleacher patron has learned that an
early start to the stadium on the day
Of q game will place him among the
10000 fortunates who see a world
series game for 81.
The 10000 more choice So seats in
unreserved sections of the grand
stand always are sold out much more
quickly than the bleachers, and it
was around the So entrances that
the greater number Of early corners
congregated today before time for
the gates to open.

4 NORTH CENTRAL
ELEVENS WAITING
TOUGH STRUGGLES

Four North Central conferences
football squads will face hard strug-
giles Saturday, determined to add to
the two victories that each except
Morningside and North Dakota
Bison has chalked down.
Each Of the conference elevens
has won two previous games this
season except the Bison and the
Morningside squads, both outfits be-
ing idle Sept. 90. The University
Of South Dakota, South Dakota
State college, University Of North
Dakota and North Dakota State won
easy victories last weekend, while
Morningside college ha a little diff
ficulty with Augustana but came
out Of the fray q 26 to victor.
The South Dakota university won
from Yankton 10 to o end North Da-
kota Bison took q 81 to 0 win from
Valley City, while the South Dakota
state team trod over Dakota Wes-
leyan So to O and the University Of
North Dakota trounced jamestown
80 to O.
South Dakota state is the only one
OF the five teams in the conference
that will be idle next Saturday.
While the University Of South Da-
kota is making the long journey to
Durham, N. c., to take on the Duke
University outfit, the Nodaks will
be battling it out with the Carleton
college eleven and the Bison will
tackle the Superior Teachers COL
lege. Morningside college also faces
q tough game with Dakota Wes-
leyan.
The game Saturday will be the
first real test for the Bison. Re-
ports coming from the Head Of the
Lakes are that the Superior outfit
is the most formidable that the in
stitution has turned out in years.
Although only five men returned
from the 1927 aggregation, the word
is that the team has a fast moving
backfield combination to cover the
ground, and q heavy lire.

got last year.
Coach Jim Saunderson's men from
Morningside college are facing a
hard battle when they mix with the
Dakota Wesleyan outfit. Saunder-
son has lost several good men
through injuries and failure to re-
main in school, and he is anything
but optimistic about the game with
he Mitchell outfit.

Fear of Witchcraft

Every so often, the anti-Indian newspapers of Juneau publish widely witchcraft cases arising among one or two Indian communities. This is to show that the Indians are not fit for citizenship.
 Of course superstition exists among all people in one form or another. So we reprint the follow ing (from the Fairbanks News-Min- er):
 FEAR OF WITCHCRAFT BLAMED
 FOR MURDER"
 Dark age superstition and the fear of the evil eye of witches hasn't en- tirely left us. An instances of this is printed in Paris papers for a murder in the village of Ballots in northwestern France.
 Father" Auguste Guillot lived in the village for 7S years, until he was finally beaten to death by those who feared him.
 The villagers held that animals shunned Guillot, that a baby who touched him had convulsions, and that curse was upon him. They called him the "thrower of spells" Last fall as he passed through field Angelo, an 18-year-old shepherdess, was convinced that the calves and lambs were terrified, so she set up- on him with her stan. Her broth CTS came to her aid, and they left
