Showing Promise for Var
sity Guard Post

Grand Forks. N. D., April 7.-Jacl
West Il busy these days picking tn
daisies from q squad Of Is ambition
spring football flowers ct the Uni,
versity Of North Dakota. The daisie'
will be carefully noted and placed II
the hot house for special attention
| while the shrinking violets Of thu
flock viii be trampled, butchered ant
then forgotten.
OF the Is who started Monday
practically all are freshmen, the re.
mainder being scrubs from the var.
sity. Lettermen have not been asked
to report.
Last fall the press was 30 busy
noting the movements Of Glenn Jar.
rett, Stuart Macmillan and the be.
whiskered Smith brothers, the little
attention or space was given to North
Dakotas freshmen. But this week'l
early Developments indicate that the
sports writer's are going to learn some
brand new names. There are goins
to be some new stars. Even now, Mr..
West has plucked . few Of the daisies
and Is giving them more than their
share Of attention.
Tackles Promising
This story will deal with a.few of
the best looking boys thus far, leaving
Ing the more average performers for
later treatment. Elmer Eckholm, 220
pound tackle from Iron Mountain,
Mich, and Claude Irevig. 232 FOUNDER
for the same position, apparently are
just In time to step In the places W.
Gated by Bill Durnin and Aus Smith,
both Of whom are to graduate in
June. Irevig and Eckholm look very
good.
Walter Rabe, Dickinson, brother Of
. former university end: Darrell Long,
jamestown, and Fritz Eeske, River
Falls, WIS.,, ore three other big boys
available for the tackle jobs.
The coaches hope that Art Malo
Fairmont, Mimi, win fill MacAlillau's
place e. center. He weighs ITS pounds
and has q great deal Of fight but lit
tie experience.
Dablow OUTSTANDING
Gordon Dahlow, the basketball star
from Thief River Falls, MIMI, is per-
hap6 the incest looking new guard.
He Is built like Malo and has plenty
Of speed and fight. Elmer K1ipstein,
Bismarck, is another likely freedman
for the same position.
While the new tackles are going to
have plenty Of opportunity to make
the squad the guards will have harder
sailing. Mjogdalen, Tvedton, Eight
and Lowe are all back from the var
sity, and Of course will make it tough
for the newcomers.
Knauf Most Promising
Few ends are available from the
1reshmen class. Lawrence Knauf, the
Moorhead speed king, Is the only one
Of real class. Arndt, q willing work
er, is given q chance to come through.
However, Felber, Berg, Thorliefson,
Niermier and Nelson Mill al be back
from the varsity so this situation d
not 80 bad.
This survey indicates that Is q
whole there are many good yearling
nnemen but the backfield luminaries
are few and far between. In fact,
there Is not one real classy man
among the entire freshmen bali car
rying array.
Bin Myrback. ls5, FOUNDER from
Drake, however, has shown potential
ability ct sfullback. He Is fast ana
very powerful, has q world Of fight,
but has played little football. Out
side Of Hilleboe Owatonna, MIMI, he
is the only freshmen back with much
