After Brnie Bierman made the unusual statement last spring that "Wildung could step in the first string right now as a freshman and not weaken the team," Dick just went on being himseit No swelling at all. He returned to Luverne and cut weeds along the highway to stay in shape. By the way, Minnesota might have two Wildungs out for football.

Brother Bob, who played two years at Worthington Junior college, has entered the university and will be eligible for one year of competition next year. He expects to report for freshman football. Hurling Duel Sends Victor to 2nd Round Four First Round Games on Shakopee Slate Today SHAKOPEE, MINN. DeGraff, Corn Belt league and Fifth regional champion, pulled into the second round of the state baseball tournament here today when it nosed out Hayward, 3 to 1. Ray Simonson, DeGraff pitcher, hurled and batted his team to victory.

He allowed the losers only five hits. In addition he had three hits and batted in two runs. The game marked the start of the annual tournament to be concluded Sunday and was immediately followed by a contest between Moose Lake and Plummer. 200-pounder made his debut here in 1938 as a guard on the Luverne entry in the state basketball tournament. Yes, he played basketball and football in high school, was a star in both.

But in Luverne, Dick has the reputation of not only being an athlete. HE WAS SECOND HIGHEST IN MARKS IN HIS CLASS. Wildung was demoted to the second team in Gopher practice the other day after being a first stringer since opening day. But judging by his performance in yesterday's scrimmage, he will be back with the first stringers very soon. Fast and a sure tackier, Dick broke up play after play.

By JOE HEXDRICKSON Of the Star Journal Sports Staff "He's going to be quite a boy when he's full grown. He wall stop 'em cold then." That's what they will tell you about Dick Wildung down at Luverne, the home town. The folks down that way are anxiously watching the football progress of the Gopher sophomore tackle, but the home towners are convinced that Wildung's biggest years are yet to come. "He's only 19 and still growing. Wait until he matures.

Then watch him." A community spokesman gave us that slant via mail the other day. Minneapolis fans didn't know it at the time, but they have already had a preview of Wildung's athletic ability. The Luverne edly fearsome. OHIO STATE. ITSELF, MUST BE RATED DEFINITELY STRONGER.
