Football Marks
Its First Decade

It was a bright fall afternoon
late in September, and onto a hast
lily built field trotted a group OF
high school boys skittish as colts
under first bridlings. They had yet
to feel the pounding cleats under
the feet, the foreign touch OF
shoulder pads.
1t was just ten years ago this
fall that Sank Centre high
school brought about its attn
letic revival, tossed football
back into the picture. And as
coach came a white4haired
young fellow, just out of the
University and hailing from the
neighboring town Of Osalxis.
Today he's superintendent e.
w. Olson.
In that group were such fellows
as Herb Hanauer, Dick Bergman
Cliff Domke, Jack Hansen, Clark
Barry and not an awful lot more
because the boys for football were
scarce in those days. The youns
kids scarcely knew the shape of {
pigskin. Parents were skittish OF
the injury basis.
The whole historic move wa!
chronicled in the high school sec
ton of the Herald, before any prac'
tees got under way with this: "The
board Of education, at great ex
pense, has purchased equipment fol
twenty-four football players"
So this year marks the openin
of a new decade in football annals
And it's pointing to some histori,
markers itself. It's the first yea,
as head coach for Ray Schwartz
It's the historic bid for existenc,
of the reorganized five man coach
ing plan. It's the third consecu
tive season under the 10000 wat

First Football
Drill Called
Monday A. M.

Expecting a squad of from go tc
70 men-and equipped to handle
any number Of players who show
their faces-Sauk Centre athletics
gets its first call to arms this
week with head football coach Ray
Schwartz already on the job again
to begin the vastly reorganized
football program that will integrate
the movements of three squads un.
der a unified system and a coach
ing staff of five men.
Schwartz announced this
week that the first practice
drills will begin Monday, Aug
ust 26th. Drills from then on
for a week until school begins
will be held twice daily at 8
and at 8 o'clock. Suits will be
issued Saturday at $3.50 a. m.
Drills will be held twice daily
Monday thru Friday, he said.
ITS necessary that all who plan
to come out get in on this pre-
season training" he said, because
a new system Is being installed
What's more no copies of signals
will be given out. Well learn them
by doing"
Schwartz, after spending a sum
mer on the program of unifying
the movements of the Junior high
senior high and extension college
football units, announced the organ
ization virtually completed. Play
ers will be equipped with reams OF
typewriter sheets containing dut-
les Of ends, backs, lineman and
centers on both offense and de-
Tense; other sheets with rules and
changes and their effects on the
players particular position.
There will be very little scrim-
mage to begin with, he pointed out.
There's too much work to be done
in teaching fundamentals and
acquainting the boys with proper
techniques to begin scrimmage at
once. Besides that if the boys
learn the proper techniques it les
sons the danger of injuries to a
minimum" he said.
Arriving here last weekend, set
tied now in his home on 4th street
with Mrs. Schwartz, Ray found
spirit among his candidates high
with a morale that would do JUS
tice to a defense against a blitz-
krieg.
With a schedule of nine games
that is one of the toughest dockets
this schools charges have ever had
to face, Schwartz hopes to be able
to whip two teams into shape. I'M
possible before under the system
of one man coaching staff, the idea
seems more of reality this season
with the unified efforts of five men
Other coaches will join him here
next week and for the beginning
of school he said. Schwartz him.
self will handle the backfield can

will assist with line coaching; and
Card Smith, new to the local fac
ulty, will be in charge of Junior
high football
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1940-08-22

Under the unified plan all coach
es will teach the same system, and
practices for junior, senior high and
extension college units will be held
simultaneously. It marks the his
toric bid Of the five man coaching
job in this hamlet.
With fair nucleus of veterans
to go on, Schwartz sized up his
prospects this week. Eight return
ing lettermen are veterans of last
years campaign that first showed
to the boys the unlimited strength
of such teams as Willmar.
Returning lettermen include: CO
captains Jim Cooper and Jim Arne-
son, Wayne Cheney, Herman Lying
Paul Keldahl. Bill Simmer, Edwin
Kurrell and Bob Rattle.
Other lineups on senior high
prospects include these boys: John
Cotton, Robert Emblom, Robert
Hansmann, Leo Michels, Donald
Knapp, John Whitson, Arnold
Krebsbach, Paul Kuefler, Albert
Loehlein, Robert Plant, Theodore
Trutna, David Vandesteeg, Robert
Zeigler, Roger Bailey, Arthur Eek
lund, Paul Neal, Warren Scott, Vir-
gil Merton, Loren Hardin, Junior
Schmidt, Bud Veeder and Theodore
Engle.
From the Junior high, and some
of these are this years sophomores
are others from the material bas-
ket: Wesley Fink, Ira Plummer,

Eugene Nugent, Warren Jeffries,
Gerald Paquin, Bunny Weisner,

WASHINGTON, July 30.-RE
President Roosevelt's appeal for
power to call out tn e national
guard and officers reserve corps
for training-a proposal backed un-
stintedly by the army-recelved TO-
day the quick approval OF the SEN
ate military committee.
Its action came shortly after it
had heard General George c. Mar
shall, the chief of staff, describe
sucn an authorization as urgently
necessary and add a strong en-
dorsement of selective CONSUMPTION
"a proposal apparently begged
down in congressional controversy,
On the latter subject, President
Roosevelt declined to be drawn out
at a press conference although
the committee earlier had engaged
in an acrimonious dispute over a
republican demand that he make
his views known.
No Details
When a reporter asked his atti-
tude toward the pending Burke
Wadsworth bill-requiring all men
10 to "a inclusive, to register for
possible selective training-he said
he did not care to go into details.
To this, he added the statement
that a lot of machines without men
to run them were worthless, and
many men without machines were
equally valueless.
This led some to the conclusion
that the president favored conscrip.
ton, but at no more rapid a rate
than the men called up could be
provided with equipment for their
training.
Chairman Sheppard D-Tex) of
the senate military committee said
four republicans who were present
when the action on the national
guard was taken voted to approve
the bill. They included, besides
Sheppard, Senators Thomas OF
