MacGREGOR | The Bismarck Phantoms opened the Nef Salem Independent Basket- | ball tournament in rather decisive | fashion last night when the local dependents, 45 to 8. Flasher and the New Salem Hawks, according to schedule, were supposed to have raised the curtain on western North Dakota’s biggest cage meet but the Flasher boys were western Morton county, it was onl: to be turned back by a 58 to 14; trouncing at the hands of the New Salem prides. Hopping, swaying, skidding over the palf-frozen trail between the Capital City and New Salem was not conducive to good basketball on the part of the Phan- jumping and! men loosened stiffened joints and sore muscles. First Period Tie Brisbane and the Phantoms went a dead heat in the first quarter of the struggle, the score reading 4-4 at time. It was a slow period with both crews playing sluggishly. Me- Leod and Lofthouse made the in- augural points for the Phantoms while Armitage tallied for Brisbane. During the duration of the game, every department and made a steady march up the floor for many close shots, the majority of which were missed. Jonny Lofthouse and Nick Roberts unlimbered their shooting irons for the benefit of the big crowd and ac- counted for 10 field goals and two gift chances between them. Johnny led with a total of 12 points. Hank Brown Shines Making his first bow in Phantom togs, Hank Brown, all-district high school forward from Bismarck, showed some classy floor-work, the redhead making a decided hit with the spectators from the color stand- point. Roy McLeod, Elmer Benser and Lofthouse were the stars for the vic- toss. Benser flashed a wonderful floor game and his fighting propen- sities had the Brisbane quint some- what puzzled. McLeod and Jump- ing Johnny, aside from their scoring, were bulwarks on the defense. For the hard-working Brisbane cagers, Armitage, Wells and Meyers were outstanding. Armitage drew gasps from the stands in the last halt when he heaved a seemingly impossible shot from oe center of the floor. — .
