It was a heartrending end to} a pre-season schedule that had found triumphs over Carson and Wilton, leaving the De- mon followers with a confi- dence that their charges might sweep through an undefeated series of games. i No less heartbreaking to the gallery was a last-half rally of the McLeod men that tied the count five different times only to fall short of victory in the final five minutes when a Lin- ton forward broke away from the Demon swarm to toss the winning basket. The Capital City boys led their stout-hearted foes but once during the torrid fray. That was at the dawn of the final quarter when a sensational sideshot put them in the lead 16 to 14.

Big and husky, the Lions blocked the dribbling Demons, speared their passes, knocked down hoop heaves and brought groans of despair from the rooters as they frustrated the Bismarck attack. Some local fans will say the game ‘was decided from the free throw line where the victors counted a brace of shots while the losers failed dis- mally-on the four chances that were awarded them. Sautter Was Nemesis It was a lanky, slippery cager by name of Sautter who really spoiled the Demons’ record and their Yule- tide season. One of the deadliest shots to slap the Bismarck net strings in many moons, he account- ed for 13 of the points that his team scored, 12 of them coming as result of six field goals tossed with Demon guards hanging on his heels. Bismarck outplayed their oppo- nents during one stanza. At the be- ginning of the second half, they into action, found the hoop with uncanny accuracy from the center and side of the floor and pulled up at the whistle with the count knotted at 14 all. Linton during this quarter counted only 5 points to Bismarck’s 10. , There were no stars in the Demon lineup last night. Every man after he had doffed his first half slug- ahness pla: with desperation. Hank: Brown was a sensation when he “got hot” in the second half and dropped in three seemingly im- possible to.ses front the center of the floor to become the scoring ace of his crew, but the courageous fight of his team mates was equally sen- sational.

All these de- tails have been taken care of in com- petent fashion by the Dutch people who know from experience to combat the sea—perennial enemy to their low-lying land.

Has Efficient Schedule 4 Lee's daily schedule during the 1927 season, when he reached his greatest performances, was one of efficiency; he guarded every mo- ment preciously. Every morning Barnes attended classes from 8-o’clock until noon. Each morning he had one vacant hour, sixty minutes in which to train toward the goal of the world’s greatest vaulter, which he had set for himself. At 1 o'clock every afternoon, Lee began work at a gasoline station, supplying motorists with gas and oil until closing time at night. The dull moments through the day he spent in studying and not once dur- ing his three years at Southern Cal- ifornia has Barnes ever been on the “failure” or even the “danger” list for scholarship. y Barnes received one day off a week in this fulltime job. He took ‘t on Saturdays ro that t. could com- pete for the Trojan team that day. On trips, Barnes has had to miss only a few hours from regular duty on Fridays, returning in time to. start work Sunday noon. His co-workers are on duty at these times and Barnes always paid them back by re- lieving them. Whenever the Trojan star journeys to the intercollegiates or National A. A.

Later, on May 15, 1926, he broke his own mark by doing 13 feet 8 inches at the Pacific coast intercollegiate: at Stanford. At the netional intercollegiates he was forced to take second to Sabin Carr of Yale and later at the A. A. U. meet dropped to third place. Few knew that “trying conditions’ caused his failure. In spite of his limited time to prac- tice, Barnes was consistent at 13 feet 6 inches during the entire 1927 season. 13 feet Three times he soared over the 13 feet 6 inch marker. And then at the I.
