MINNESOTA LOOP
TEAMS FIGURE IN
THREE BIG Tits
Carleton's Invasion of North
Dakota Is Most Prominent
Contest

st. Paul, Oct. z. - w - Three
Minnesota college conference games
and two non-confcrence contests, in
Guiding Carleton colleges invasion
of University Of North Dakota ter.
ritory, make up the program for
state college elevens next Saturday.
St. Thomas and Augsburg elev-
ems, which participated in the sea-
sons opening Saturday, have open
dates. but Coaches Ron Gibbs and
Con Ecklund expected to sign some
team for practice scrimmages.
Topping the conference list are
the St. Mary's-St. Olaf and Concor-
dia- Gustavus Adolphus games which
may cause a shakeup in the leagues
standings. Manchester plays St.
Johns at Collegeville in the third
conference tilt.
Hamline university's eleven will
tangle with River Falls Normal on
the Wisconsin gridiron, the second
Minnesota school to play the Badger
Peds in as many weeks. st. Thomas
entertained them Saturday and had
their hands full during the entire
game.
An altogether different Carleton
team from that which has played
the Flickertails at Mortified last
year, will be seen in action at Grand
Forks, and where the Carls are
weaker, at present, the Nodaks are
far stronger than in 1927. -
The Carls walked away with q IS
to victory in last years meeting,
largely through the passing of Ar
ME Simso, quarterback, and the
running of Gable and Nelson, half
backs. Cable is back this year and
is performing in good shape but
Simso is ON the side lines with an
injured elbow that may keep him
out Of the game.
Coach Claude Hunt has been
shifting his men about in hope of
finding a capable passer and at
present no man is certain Of start
ing the Nodak game. Cable, Brown,
Broberg and Mueller have been per-
forming in the backfield, with
Sprague, Salvi and Swanson work
ing as understudies.
The Oles at Mortified will have
their hands full when they meet
Coach Skemp's Redmen, which Sat-
urday displayed a fine brand of
football aginst Gustavus Adolphus,
champions for the past two years.
Skemp, however, found several
faults and aims to correct these dur
ing the next few days.
Endre Anderson, head coach at
St. Olaf, also planned a stiff prac-
tice program for his team this week
following the Augsburg game, and
he may make one or two changes
in the lineup so as to stop the St.
Mary's team, which is the favorite
to cop the bunting.
The Concordia Gustavus game
promises to be a repetition of the
one last year when the Cobbers
nearly spoiled Gustavus' perfect
string of victories by scoring two
touchdowns. Frank Cleve has near
ly the same team back while Gus
tavus is without several men who
performed in that game.
Victory for the Cobbers in this
contest will mean high place in the
final rating, as they are believed to
hold the edge over St. Johns, Augs-
burg and st. Olaf, the only three
other conference opponents it meets
before its final game with Moorhead
State Teachers college.
Coach Bill Horle was not overly
pleased with the showing Of his St
Johns team against the Pipers in
the opening tilt Saturday and with
the return of several men who have
been on the injured list for the past
week or more, plans to make q
change or two in the lineup for the
Manchester tilt.
The Macmen's hard opening con.
test against Concordia found sew
eral Of the sophomores showing up
to advantage, and with a weeks
training under Coaches Mayer and
Anderson should put up better per.
formances against the Johnnies.
Return Of Rodgers to the Hamline
squad will give Coach Mitchell 4
backfield that is almost equal to
any Of the conference. It is expect
ed that Bill Lackey will be shifted
to the line, thus adding weight and
