Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. 13.-tP)-A
wide open game featuring sweeping
end runs and forward passes is what
the University of North Dakota can
look for when the Sioux meet Howard
College of Birmingham, Ala. here
Saturday afternoon in the intersec-
tional grid battle that tops the home
coming program.
Information from the southland de-
scribes Howard as a traditional pass
ing team, department of play in
which the Bulldogs have excelled for
years. And this year Coach Eddie
McLane has more passers than ever
His prize is Eddie Sweeney, all-confer-
ence half and rated by Coach Wallace
Wade of AlabSna last year as the
greatest natural passer he ever saw
in action.
Along with Sweeney is Fontelle, Ma
comber and Fields, a trio of veterans
who include a deceptive left-handed
tosser in Macomber.
The running attack is featured by
three triple threat stars in Fields,
Sweeney and Hulsey. The best ball
carrier of the lot Is Sweeney but re-
cent games have uncovered sprint
ing sensation in Tommy Everetts. a
pound streak from Montana who
has harried opposition ends with his
brilliant dashes.
Has Shifted Lineup
Coach McLanc has shifted his lineup
considerably for the Sioux game. 1t is
probable Holmstedt will replace Glenn
at center. Other shifts have been
made in the line since the return OF
Brown to right end and Staples to
tackle after recovering from injuries.
Fontelle may be at fullback instead
of Ewing and Macomber at left half.
Hulsey has been switched from left
half to right. Gresham still holds
down the quarterback post.
Loss of the Mercer game has been
attributed to weakened line. but Nc
Lane will present his strongest for
ward wall when the Bulldogs take the
field against North Dakota.

After two days of scrimmage, Coaci
