Gopher Team Looms as Contender

Minnesota Gives Promise of Powerful Eleven in Conference Race. i BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Sept. 11.—Minnesota’s grid juggernaut, most feared team in the Big Ten Conference during the past two seasons, gives promise of being fully as powerful during 1928 as it was last year. Graduation of such stars as Joesting, all-American fullback; Almquist, Hydahl. Hanson, MacKinnon, ►Gary and Walsh was a heavy blow, but Dr. Clarence Spears, head coach, will have a better team than one would suppose after noting his losses. Spears always has some good men coming along and this year the list includes many veterans. Among the returning letter men are Capt. George Gibson, one of the best guards in the country; Nagurski and Duke Johnson, 1927 regular tackles; last year’s ends, Haycraft and Tangier. and Wayne Kakels, Edgar Ukkelberg and Les Fulkrabek, who saw service in the 1927 line. In the backfleld, Barnhardt and pharmer will be seeking their old 'posts, while Hovde, a shifty quarter or half; Geer and Arendsee, all of •whom saw considerable action last year, will be fighting for regular berths. In addition to these, Minnesota has perhaps a dozen men of promise from the 1927 freshman squad. Unless something goes radically wrong at Minnesota, the Gophers will be a strong contender for Big Ten honors. “Doc” Spears is the least optimistic man in the Gopher camp. Spears declared that Northwestern, Wisconsin, Purdue and Indiana are going to be about as tough as they come. And he is afraid of lowa. “Minnesota needs big, fast backs more than anything else,” the Northmen's leader declared. “I don’t know where they are coming from. Some of the candidates may develop into polished players, but with those I saw in spring practice it’s about a toss up. They may come through or they may not. We are starting the season with Mr. If in five positions, and we may have to go right through with the same guy in the same position.”

Maranville May Establish Record; Played in ‘Series’ 14 Years Ago ‘Rabbit’ Starred With Boston Braves of 1914 Under Stallings; In Major Role With Cardinals.

BY 811 ,Y EVANS Fourteen years ago this month, George Stallings was leading his famous “miracle team,” the Boston Braves, to a National League pennant and an ultimate world series championship. While Stalling and his right bower, Johnny Evers, were doubtless .responsible for much of the success of the club’s sensational achievement that year, no little amount of credit was due Rudolph, James and Tyler, the three pitching aces—and a 22.year.old youngster playing his second regular campaign with the team. The 22-year-old chap was Rabbit Maranville, a peppery little shortstop out of the New England League. Maranville’s stellar work afield, timely hitting and fighting spirit played big parts in the Braves' double triumph that season. This year—fourteen campaigns later—we find this same Rabbit Maranville, now a 36-year-old veteran, playing a major role in the march of the St. Louis Cardinals to another probable pennant, and possible world series victory. For Maranville, picked up out of the major league gutter late last summer, has been the mainspring of the McKechme , machine. Inserted in the lineup this year in place of the disabled Tommy Thevcnow, the Rabbit has come through in a sensational manner. Should the St. Louis entry win

Brader Wins in Billiard Match The State open 14.1 pocket billiard tournament got under way Monday night at Cooler’s parlors, where “Tex” Brader, Indianapolis, won over W. Green, Terre Haute, 100 to 50, in the opening conflict. Brader ran off 31 for a high mark, While the best Green could run was 32. Walter Ramsey and Ben Klein, both of Indianapolis, meet in the second match tonight at 8. ! Nelson, Shields in Golf Victory Lee Nelson, veteran Indianapolis Country Club professional, and Frank Shields, veteran player at that club, teamed together Monday In the pro-amateur golf meet at Broadmoor and carried home the first prize with a best ball score of 67, which is five strokes under par. Shields himself had a 71, cne under par. Five pars tied for second with scores of 70 each. REYNOLDS BEATS PUG Jack Reynolds, welterweight wrestler, defeated Kid Donley, boxer, in a mixed match at the Broad Ripple Park Monday night. Reynolds overpowered his fistic opponent in a hurry, scoring the first fall in four minutes and the second in two jninutes. Young Price defeated Chester McAuley and Ralph Wilson beat Ted Hansen in two wrestling prelims.

Coach’s Sons Are Team Mascots!

Coach heinie miller took his Temple University football squad to Atlantic City for a few days of training and his two sons went along as mascots of the team. They are shown here, Bud, left, and Heinie Jr., right, as they started off for practice the first day on the beach. And it’s too bad they aren’t big enough to play for their daddy as they have all the enthusiasm needed to make star football players. „ ROBINS GET OUTFIELDER Bp Times Special BROOKLYN, N.

the flag—and such a happening appears likely—Maranville will have the distinction of being the only player ever to get into a world scries after a lapse of fourteen years. Stuffy Mclnnis was with the pen-nant-winning Athletics in 1911 and the flag-copping Pirates fourteen falls later, but Stuffy also appeared in three classics in between. Os the players who participated in that 1914 series between the Braves and the Athletics, only five remain in active major league play. They are Maranville; Leslie Mann, now with the Giants; Herb Pennock, Yankees; Wally Schang, Browns and Joe Bush, Athletics. And Bush has seen but little service this season.
