SPORTS
OF THE WEEK
(Chuck Rathe)

Coach Harvey is this week put
ting the lads through a pass, and
cut for the basket routine featur-
ing for gosh sakes stick to your
man. and get rid of that ball"
some of the boys seem to be devel-
oping rapidly with some of the old
timers falling easily into their
stride, while some of the fellas just
can't forget the bruising body at
tack so suitable for football. Hence
the ball handling cruel this week.
Arvig, that old galloping guard,
begins the season with a broken
blood vessel in his leg, and pop"
goes his first two weeks Of prac-
tice. Kelly has not lost his eye for
those one hand overhead shots, but
he hasn't quite found it yet either.
Judy Dubois Is showing some pref
ty capers both defensively and on
the attack and will probably de-
velop into center or guard mater
ial. Decree and Walker showed
some nice sparks on a passing Of
fense the other evening. Thiegs,
Ethun, Bellinger, Forsberg, and the
Egans are among the older fellows
who may develop into needed re-
serve strength. Harvey is giving
them the grind plenty. Guard
positions, at the present with Ar
Wig on the sidelines, look the weak
est; and Harvey is working hard
on material for those positions.

The Community Club will
sponsor a football movie; ac-
cOrding to President Scott,
which will be shown on Decem-
Der 18th at the high school aud
itorium. The reels will feature
high spots In last years Min
nesota victories, and the king
ly antics of the national foot
ball champs, in the persons of
Pug Lund, KOtska, SeideL
Clarks0n, and AlfOnse-and the
other players who comprised
one of all times most powerful
teams. From this years games
there will also be snatches of
the brilliant play of those lads
who are heading for another
national rating. The admission
for this feature Is only a thin
dime.
And the little Brown jug bounc-
ed right back into the arms of Ber-
ME Bierman and his Gophers to
reside in their sanctum for another
year. A 40 to o victory over Mich
igan was more than a clean sweep,
as Minnesota stock zoomed on its
way to national rating to come
within one game of conference and
national tops. It was kids day as
Thompson, sophomore. touched off
the spark Of attack with an 88 yard
return of the opening kick off.
From there on Uram and Gmitro
followed suit and raced madly up
and down the field to score. Poor
Gmitro had tough luck. He raced
for SO and II yards to score only to
have both plays called back, but
Rudy knows now he can do 1t, and
so do the rest of the boys. And
what's more so does Wisconsin and
Doctor Spears is-or he should be
moanin' low in regard to those sem
sational sophomore half backs OF
Bierman's. 1t was behind the su-
perb blocking of Beise, Roscoe, Le-
Voir, or some linesmen pulling out
in front that these sophs rode on
to victory.
With an article there ap-
pears pictures of the ten Min
nesota mOle-skinners who will
pIoy <hoi rJast Oamo SATURDAY.
and who have never played In
a losing contest. A neat record.
Well. anyhow, among them Is
big Dick Smith-his name re-
poses beneath one Of pictures,
but what to our wondering
eyes should appear, not the
warlike cOuntenance of big
Dick, but the cOmely visage of
one Willis Bud" Smith. Now,
it's no reflection to be taken
for Dick, but maybe Bud would
just as soon make his own re-
cord. This corner Is of the
opinion that he will, for he did
some nice tackling against
Michigan. Down on the Mime
sofa campus Bud Is known as
Little Smith," while Dick has
the monicker of big Smith"
now, you, who know Bud, re-
alize that a good sized man
can look right up at him.
Which will give some impress
sion of the size of that master
tackle, Dick Smith.
