THURSDAY, MARCH 15, 1928. THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE PAGE SEVEN . North Dakota University VARSITY FIVE WILL PRESENT GREAT ARRAY ’ | North Central Conference and State Champions Flash Wares at 8:15 WOP GAME CALLED OFF Phantoms Expect to Give Var- sity Stars Tussle With Regular Lineup THE PROBABLE LINEUPS University Phantoms Letich Benser Brown f Haas Lee c Roberts Boyd g McLeod Eberly g Lofthouse North Dakota’s University cage champions will play the Bismarck Phantoms in the high school gymnasium at 8:15! tonight. The previously scheduled game with the Wahpeton State School of Science, which was to have been played at Man- dan on Saturday afternoon, was called off when the uni- versity athletic board of con- trol refused to sanction the|{) contest. ‘ The vanguard of the varsity team arrived in Bismarck this morning. They are Captain- elect Paul Boyd, Lewy Lee, Harold Eberly, Victor Brown. Curtis Schave and Glen Jar- rett. Others who are expected to be here are Alford Letich, cap- tain the past season, Larry Kinn and Gus Lindell. Jimmie Olson, Bismarck’s_representa- tive on the crack Flicker frosn squad, may also arrive in time to play with the varsity lineup tonight. Is Great Attraction Without exaggeration, the clash tonight between the Nodaks and the Phantoms is the greatest basketball morsel that. has been offered local cage fans in many, many years. Just a year ago, the North Da- kota Aggies brought Claudie Miller, Jug Newgard and George Hermes to Bismarck to play the Phantoms but the rest of the invading quint was composed of-squad members and not regulars. The Phantoms will meet the same group of players who swept to the championship of the North Central conference this: year and then pro- ceeded to wallop the North Dakota Aggies in four straight worst defeats that the ever suffered, Experts who have watched the No- daks pene claim that they are one of the finest quintets in the country from every standpoint. And not a man is lost to Coach Clem Letich this year. Every man who plays tonight will return for one or more years of basketball next year. All Back Next Year Boyd, Letich, Lee and Eberly have one more year of competition before they hang up their trunks for good. Vic Brown is just a sopho- more and has two years ahead of him. Kinn and Lindell have another year. While the Phantoms have small chances of defeating the Flickers, they do expect to extend the college men and make ‘them play their most brilliant ball, Real classy basketball is prom- ised the fans tonight. The varsity employs a ‘five-man defense and of- fense. The offense starts slowly ames, the ‘ison have ‘ and hinges about Lewy Lee, all-con- ference center. Once gets the ball, he usually passes it to one of the other four members of the quint who then lets loose with a short dribble for a setup or tries a medium shot. The passing game is spectac- ular, Are Dead Shots Every member of the Nodak crew is a dead shot. Letich and Boyd last year led every other conference scorer, This year Lee and Brown have joined Boyd and Letich in the high total scoring column.

Fargo Looms During the vast week, odds which had favored Grand Forks to cop the highest honors have been shifting slowly to Fargo. Fans are begin- ning to realize that the wily Ri ball is about to spring ancther of his great machines on the state. Last year he started with a group of sophomores who made a com- mendable record before the close of the state meet. Charlie and all Far- go were satisfied with the results. “Just wait until next year,” was the motto. Came this year and Fargo has until the last three weeks. In this period it trounced St. Cloud, Willmar and Moorhead, district champions of Min- nesota. In beating the Spuds they reversed an early season game. Then they proceeded to sail through the first district in handy style. mise Comes True Now the dopesters say that Kim- ball has made his last year’s prom- ise true and that Fargo will be the Meets Phantoms Tonight Eight District Champions Gird Loins for Titular Games [_xouviems tae razan || MANDAN ONLY 500 ATHLETES ENTER ILLINI TRACK RELAYS Two World Marks Totter as Great Galaxy of Stars Gather For Meet Champaign, IIL, March 15.—()— More than 500 athletes, the pick of the midwest, will launch re- newed assault on world’s track and field records in the University of Illinois indoor relay carnival, Sat- urday, March 17, The meet will be the climax of the indoor season in ¢his section; then comes the outdoor competition, with the Drake, Kansas, Ohio State, Texas and other relay carnivals fur- nishing the setting for intercolle- giate battles for supremacy. The Illinois carnival, the largest the| of its kind, will be run off in the university’s big armory at Cham- paign. It has a fast, 75-yard clay straightaway for the dashes and hurdles and a cinder track of six and three-quarters laps to the mile for the distance events. Five na- tional indoor records have been es- tablished or equalled in this meet since it was launched 11 years ago. year. Jack Elder of Notre Dame, who has tied the record in the 75- yard dash, will match his speed against an all-star field embracing Kriss, Ohio State; Hermansen, Northwestern, and Grady, Kansas. Cuhel, Iowa Olympic possibility, has been timed scross the 75-yard high hurdles in nine seconds flat, two-fifths of a second faster than the existing world mark.

The match ended in the 54th inn- ing when the Belgian “Miracle man” clicked off 31 points after taking the balls on a set up. The last two blocks yesterday afternoon and last night were in marked contrast to the opening sessions when Schaefer secured a slight lead. After runs of 248, 194, and 154, Horemans made 117 in the 53rd inning to virtually decide the match, Schaefer, despite his delicate stroking, could not get the feel of the table in the last two blocks. “I could not shoot them ina basket,” Schaefer rematked as the deen champion made the final bil- iard.

Payne checked in fourth yesterday and his total time today read 60:07:02. The route today led to jigman, 38 miles eastward, bringing the racers into higher country. JOHN M'GRAW HAS RECRUIT _ WITH MODESTY Jumbo Barrett, Home Run King of Dixie, Asserts He Will Not Make Good Augusta, Ga. March 15.—@— As if all the problems which go with the rebuilding of the New York Giants into a team of championship caliber were not sufficient, John McGraw now is confronted with a case of super-modesty in one of his best rookies. . “Jumbo” Barrett, catcher and home-run king of the South Atlan- tic Association last season, who was purchased by the Giants after a mad scramble with other clubs, frankly asserts he does not believe he will make good this year. “I am not expecting to make the aot with the Giants this season,” e says, “and really feel another season in the minors would be to my advantage. For when I go up, I want to stay up. I am expecting to train with the Giants and then when the New York club goes through Memphis to play an ex- hibition game on their way north, Manager McGraw will likely drop me off. And that will suit me fine, for I had rather py ball in Mem- phis than anywhere else in the minors.” Barrett, whose home is in Rock mart, Ga. was the property of Memphis, Southern Association, last year and was farmed out to Knoxville, where his work behind and at the plate proved a sensa- tion. He smashed out 39 home run. and had a batting average of .360, the second highest in the South Atlantic. He scored 106 runs, got 159 hits for 319 total bases, including 29 two base hits, and sev- en triples. Fifty-eight free passes to frst were given him. A big man, weighing 195 pounds and standing a fraction over six feet, “Jumbo” is right handed and has a strong throwing arm. At bat, he stands slightly behind the late, feet well apart with weight anced equally on each, and takes a full swing from sh He is not a dead hitter to any par- ticular section of the field al. though right handed, frequently lands his hits to the right garden. Mickey Walker gets more am- bitious every day. He now wants to fight Armand Emanuel, western heavyweight, who is considered one of the best youngsters in the game. most dangerous contender of all the entries. Followers of the state meets know that the Midgets are at the height of their playing ability at this time. Among many of the fans Grand Forks still rules heavy favor- ite. Grand Forks pe 3 impres- sive from the fact it they now hold the gonfalon and have devel- oped a powerful quint this year.
