| Summary: | Friday, Sept. 23, 1032 CONCORDIAN Page COBBERS OPEN SEASON ON DAKOTAH FIELD TONIGHT Clevemen Meet Bison In Initial Game of Season Sport Fever Runs High As Starting Time Approaches GRID WAR RENEWED Dakotas Prepare t o Meet Spirited Cobber Attack Football Captain Within a very few hours on Dako-tah Held two great football" elevens will be engaged in a mighty struggle to determine the gridiron supremacy of this section. Sport fever runs high in the two cities as the clash is about to take place. At the A. C. camp there is just u little bit of doubt as to whether the powerful green wave of the favored Bison will be able to withstand the determined attack of the lighter, but more spirited Cobbers. Although the Norsemen have never quite been able to stem the stamped-ing herd of buffalo, they have thrown many a scare Into the Bison warriors. The Dakotans recall the time in the fall of 1929 when "Melly" Anderson, Concordia back, returned a put SO yards in the ilrst half to put the Min-nesotans six points to the good. Al-though the Bison succeeded in win-ning the game 13-6 it was a hectic struggle. They also remember the fall of '30 when with the score 6-0 in their favor, "Swede" Anderson, Cob center, snared an opponent's pass and raced down the side of the field only to be brought down on the twenty yard line. A timely block by a cer-tain lineman on that play may have turned defeat into victory for the Cob-bers. The battle of 1931 was also a stirring contest, the score remaining 6-0 until the fourth quarter when the A. C. rushed two touchdowns acroBs against a substitute Concordia lineup. And so t h i s year the mighty Dakotans will go on the field with more than a little doubt as to the final outcome. This year Cleve and Benson hd re-molded together the most powerful aggregation in the history of the College. The players have everything necessary to make a winning team. When Captain Paul Figenshaw, East Grand Forks, an all-conference center last season, leads his ten men into the field at the start of the game, he will lead men who are all determined to play a hard, clean game whether victor or vanquished. Beside Figen-shaw in the line will be "Corny" Ot-teson, midget guard who received honorable mention on Halsey Hall's all-conference team last year, and either the fighting "Finn" Rostedt from Middle River, or husky "Ernie" Langseth of Fessenden. At tackles will be the two stalwarts. "Jack" Johnson ami Ted Renne. At the right end will be "Cliff" Nick, a seasoned end, and at left end Jorgenson, an un-tried sophomore who promises a lot of trouble to Bison backs. At quar-terback will be the dependable Earl Mo run. He will be backed by Bob Fritz, all-conference fullback of last season, who has been shifted to right half to make way for "Crashing" Ben Holter, former fullback at Luther. At left half will be either the speedy Eddie Dahl of Hawley or Illusive "Pat" Hilde. - Sophomores are expected to be out-standing in the A. C. backfield. Schol-lander, triple threat man from Fargo high, and Fritz Hanson, the Perham flash, are expected to cause the Cob-; bers much trouble. In the line i Schoenfelder stands out as the great-est threat to line smashes. Ernest Langseth, veteran guard, and Roy Me Carthy, brilliant guard from Moorhead High and North Dak-ota U. donned uniforms Tuesday, and gave added impetus to the Cobber cause. Both Ernie and Roy in their first appearance served notice to all guard candidates that there will he a fight for regular positions. McCar-thy iB not eligible for conference com-petition, but he is sure to see plenty of action in non-conference clashes. Other backs who are sure to see action include: "Shorty" Malvey, Ole Fossum, Ralph Miller, Bud Darkow, Romuld and Senningsgard. Linemen held in reserve but anxious for an op-portunity to take a shot at the Buffa-lo are: Dronen, Bjerke, Erickson, and Bakke at ends; "Wright, Nelson, Mldgartcn, Fossum, Eld and Husby at tackles; McCarthy, G. Olson, Daeh-lln, Thorson. and Sogn at guards; Don Anderson and Larson at center. These men are all primed for the big contest and they are- determined that the pleasant face of Casey Fin-negan will have many a furrowed wrinkle before the outcome is de-cided. PAl'I, FIGENSHAW COMSTOCK TAXI Phone 1717 Office: Comatock Hotel B. T. HANSON, Proprietor Frosh Recruits Show Promise Yearlings Build Gridiron Hopes of Future Squads "They like it." That is whatCoaches Benson and Cleve have to say about the yearling members of the Concor-dia Football machine. Many promis-ing recruits build a rosy outlook for the Cobs future Gridiron activities. The Frosh, although they are not eligible for conference competition are permitted to play in non-con-ference games and in competition with Frosh teams of other schools. From Crookston comes Duane Darkow and Ed. Romuld. Both are backfield men Darkow a halfback and Romuld a quarterback. Darkow has shown exceptional ability as a punter and is hailed as one* of the best frosh punters ever to come to Concordia College. Uomuld is a smart signal caller and reliable safety man. Ross, another ' Crookston man who was forced to discontinue college tempo-rarily. Is regarded by Coach Cleve as "the best backfield prospect" he has ever had. He Is a terrific line plunger and an experienced player. Glass, speedy quarterback from Mahnoman who was also forced to discontinue, Is an excellent backfield prospect. We hope these men will be able to come back and help make gridiron history for Concordia College. Ole MIdgarten of Moorhead and EInar Husby, 210 pound tackle from Finley are two tackles that promise to solve the tackle problem in the '33, '34, and 35 varsity squads. Both are fast aggressive players who are bringing a smile to Benson's face. Olie Settingsgard of Grafton, N. D. is another frosh who is getting plenty of work. He is a backfield man with 4 years of hlphHchoo] experience and has shown up well In scrlmage. 2 NEW FORD V-EIGHTS GIVEN FREE EACH WEEK with Sheaffer Products INQUIRE AT THE JOHNSON PHARMACY 1st Kat'l. Bank Bldg., Moorhead State Teams May Tip '32 Dope Bucket Schedule Brings Cobbers Against Tough Squads The dope bucket was a sickly look ing spectacle as the linal edition o the 1931 State Conference footbal race was completed. Starting with n crew that was decidedly inexperi-enced the Clevemen were given only an outside chance of upsetting the leaders. The work of upsetting was however, taken care of in due time, and the shield of the fighting Cobbers was placed among those of the cham-pions. This is 1932 and Concordia, enters the title race in a very different position. A letterman for every po-sition but one tells the story. Led by Captain Paul Figenshaw the Maroon and Gold Warriors look like a a;ood bet to repeat their triumphs of 1931 But there are seven schools in the Conference who are more than willing to relieve Concordin of the crown. This fact promises an Inter-esting campaign. In his drive to retain the champion-ship Coach Cleve certainly lias not hand-picked his schedule for soft spots. After two opening games which finds Concordia pitted against two of its traditional local rivals. St. Olaf comes to Moorhead to open the at-tack . Although Coach Christianson has had a few backfield worries the Oles will he primed to give the Clevemen 60 minutes of torrid foot-batl. St. Olaf was the one conference opponent who measured the Cobbers in the D_ast season", and when It hit its stride it was almost unbeatable. The elusive Saumer and Droen, a hard driving fullback, will not. be back with the Oles this year and this is good news for the opposition. The following weekend the Macs entertain the Cobs on their own grid-iron. Macaiester has been coming up fast, and last year was one of tin threats of the Conference. The Macs have a large number of lettermen ably supported by brilliant new-comers, and should uarve a niche for themselves before the race is very old. Following the game at Macaies-ter comes the traditional Homecom-ing struggle and what a" struggle it promises to be, with St. Thomas as a foe! Joe Boland and his Tommies are always a team of scrappers and play a hard brand of football. Rest assured that they have not forgotten Nick's 85 yard run which eliminated them from the 1931 title. The Tom-mies will be thirsting for revenge and this game should be one of the clas-sic battles of the entire year. After the Tommie fracas comes a visit to St. Johns at Collegeville.

Subscribe Now! another severe test for the Cobbers. Coach Benda has a powerful back-field led by Captain Luckemeyer and promises to make it warm for any tenm which harbors any title aspi-rations. Luckemeyer is one of the hardest running backs in the confer-ence and was kept off the all confer-ence team last year only because Bob Fritz was making gridiron history as a member of Cleve's four Norsemen. The finale as far as Concordla's parl is concerned finds the Cobbers at St. Peter visiting GustavuH. The Gust led were rather hard hit by graduation and their strength is more or loss uncertain yet. Nevertheless this team has always been tough for the Cobbers to hurdle, and the 1932 squad doesn't look like any exception. The 1932 Cobbers must leave their favorite pastime of knocking off the leaders and play their part as King-of- the-Hill. Granting,that the wearers of the Maroon and Gold will show the same spirit and drive in holding the championship that they did in captur-ing it. Concordia will have nntch to say about the bunting of 1932. L 150 5th St. South Phone 1213 Free Repairing One Day Service If Desired MILTON ERICKSON, Agent B. Ripples J. R.
