That is the question that will be answered tonight at 8 o'clock when the alumni quint of Bis- marck High engages Coach Roy Mcl.eod’s 1927-1928 five in the annual encounter between old grads and youngsters. e Included among the alumni who will perform tonight are such former Demon luminari as Jimmy Olson, Herbie O'F Earl Benser, Willis Shepa John Lofthouse, Duane Die! Harry Lobach, Sidney Regist Bruce Murphy, Brown, and others. After a week's rest, the line- up of the high school squad is uncertain but Landers, Jacob- son, Slattery, Hank and Fay Brown, Thornberg, Hoffman, and the Benser brothers, Ernie and Elmer, will probably have chance to face their former schoolmates, Handicapped by the loss of two men through ineligibility and an/the national high injury to another, cage stars of Jamestown college, with the flashy; play of George Heidt of Mandan to bolster their lineup, nearly defeated the Bismarck Phantoms in a hard fought contest on the high school floor last night. The Phantoms emer; with a 22 to 20 victory as the final whistle Blew. Disrupted by their sudden change of personnel, the Jimmy five found the going tough during the first half and combined with the close guarding of the locals failed to count from the field. Tt was in the first half that Neil Churchill’s charges won their first game. Away to an early lead, they were able to maintain it throughout the grueling last half when the Jimmies rallied and threatened to overtake their opponents. Although the Phantoms showed] to better advantage in the first half than in the second half and looked the best so far this season, they still have a ‘thorough potishing proc- ess to go through before they will have an accurate-passing, sure- shooting and tight defense acquired.

He steamed up in the second half and dropped the leather through the net three times from the floor, Slaght, Jimmy center, also played consist- ently throughout the melee. The Phantoms ran up a 12 to 2 during the first half, The collegiate lineup was having diffi- culty in coordinating their floor play and it looked as though the independents would stage a slaugh- ter in the second canto.

WYRICK (Associated Press Golf Writer) | who knows all about being a presi- jed for the presidency of the United States Golf Association when the nominating committee chose Melvin A. Traylor of Chicago to replace Charles P. Pfeil of Memphis as un- opposed candidate for the office jafter the untimely death of the latter. ; Mr. Traylor, although only 49 years of age, has been president of {half a dozen banks in Texas, St. | Louis and Chicago. He now is head of the First National Bank of Chi- cago, one of the largest financial institutions in the country, and has {served as president. of the Ameri- jcan Banking Association. |. Mr. Traylor also has been active in the Western and Chicago Dis- trict Golf Associations and has been a member of the executive commit- tee of the U.S.G.A. for two years. The new president-to-be has tried golf from all angles. When a youth in Kentucky, he chopped wood left- handed. When he took up golf in St. Louis, he played as a “south- paw” and kept up that address for several years, scoring under 100 and even under 90 from the port side. Later he changed to right- hand clubs and now is even more proficient. He often scores in the low 80's over Glenview and Old Elm, his home courses, both of which are difficult. A stickler for observance of the rules of the game, Mel Traylor, as he is familiarly known, has worked hard to have them enforced to the letter. He also has devoted much time to bettering the condition of caddies: and to aiding young players of promise to obtain golfing experi- ence without undue expense. Mr. Traylor will be the third western president of the U. S. G. A. since it was organized in 1894. The others were Silas Strawn of Chi- cago, 1911-'12, and Frank Wood- ward of Denver, 1915-16.

It was Notre Dame's first defeat in five starts this winter, and three of their victims were Big Ten teams. When Captain Waldo Fisher, mainstay of Northwestern bas- ketball teams for three years, |] was forced out on four personal fouls early in the second half, the two Purple sophomore stars, Walters of Kokomo and Mar- shall of Chicago, decided it was time to establish themselves and from a 17-22 score, they shot up to 25-22 in five minutes of long shots. And to add to their demonstration, they held Notre Dame to a mere free throw for the last eight minutes of play. No such riot of cheering was ever seen in Patten gym before, as the crowd of 6,000 broke loose.
