an THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. oe WOW Te COACH TO HAVE FIVE VETERANS WHO RATE HIGH Jacobson, Spriggs, Landers, Brown, and O’Hare Are All Returned MEINHOVER IS HOPE 11 Games Already Made for Schedule; State to Be Re- districted Having put away their moleskins after the most successful football season in the history of Bismarck high school, the Demons and Coach Roy McLeod are now looking for- ward to a basketball season which also promises to be one of their best. McLeod will have five lettermen from last year’s squad back on the court this year and a host of likely candidates. The mentor has also mapped out a schedule which will build the team gradually until the time of the regional, district, and state tournaments, which will be conducted under a new plan recently adopted by the North Dakota high school league. Lettermen returning this year are: Captain Ben Jacobson, Gordie Lat ders, and Eddie Spriggs, forward: and Fay Brown and Johnny O'Hare, guards. Among the most likely contenders for positions on the first squad be- sides the lettermen, according to the coach, are big Ted Meinhover, Johnny Spriggs, Dale Brown, Hank Potter, Paris, and Loerke. M jover Has Height The coach hopes to develop Mein- hover into a first class basketball layer. If Meinhover can learn to Fandle himself on the floor and find the hoop this year, he should make a great center with his six feet and a half in height. The big fellow was coming right along at the end of last season, and has signified his in- tention of landing a regular berth on the five this year. Spriggs, Landers, and Jacobson are three of the classiest court per- formers in this neck of the woods and Demon followers are satisfied that the trio will be able to take care of the forward posts in a sat- isfactory manner: Mac expects O’Hare and Brown to be back at their old guard posts. Competition for regular berths will be keen this year, however, and it appears that Mac will have plent; of men for every position, which will make the Demons that much strong- er. Regular training on the court will not be inaugurated until about the first of December, McLeod says, The schedule this year calls for games with Hebron and Linton be- fore the Christmas holidays, and two games with each Dickinson, Mandan, Valley City, and Jamestown during January and February. The Demons ll also entertain the Minot Magi- ns here and have a tentative gante scheduled with Dickinson Normal. At Home February The local quint will meet Valley City, Mandan, Jamestown, and Minot here on successive week-ends in Feb- ruary. Seven of the 11 games scheduled so far will be played in the city, ss North Dakota high school league is now employed mapping the state out into 16 instead of eight dis- els, as has been the plan in the past. , When the state was divided into eiabt districts, district champion- ships in many cases became the monopoly of one or two schools in the division. Valley City and James- town have monopolized the second district honors, Bismarck and Man- dan have always fought it out in this section, and with one or two exceptions, the seventh district champion has been Minot or Willis- ton since 1920. When the state is divided into 16 regions, no two strong teams or larger cities will be included in one region. The'new plan will necessi- tate regional, district, and a state tournament to decide the state cham- Pion. Though the regions are not yet announced, it is believed that tourna- its will be held at the following it Wahpeton, Fargo, Valley City, Jamestown, Bismarck, Mandan, man or Hettinger, Dickinson, 1924 Olympic Chamop Boxers May Wea watch Notre i running down the-field on the kickoff at MINNESOTA B GAME Mi bu Gopher Game Is Giving South | Dakota State Officials, Worry Because There Are!

Fidel La Barba, former flyweight professional champion and the next world’s bantamweight champion if the figures are not all wrong, won the Olympic flyweight championship four years ago and one of his team- mates, Jackie Fields, won the feath- erweight crown in Paris. It is interesting, as a mere men- tion at least, that the list of cham- pions crowned that memorable tournament in Paris included Otto Von Pi of Norway, who won the heavyweight title. Von Porat, it so happens, was very much in the professional heavy- weight mention until recently when he lost a 10-round decision to Paul- ino in New York. But while he lost the decision he didn’t remove him- self entirely as a possibility in a class that isn’t filled with distin- guished artists. Dropped Amateur Handicap “Little Fiddle,” as La Barba was known in Paris, returned from the Olympic games and proceeded al- most at once into the professional flyweight championship. In announcing that he had decided to become a professional, La Barba did not allow anyone to misunder- stand his motives. He made it quite clear that he was going to fight until he acquired enough of a stake to finance a course through college and set himself up in business and that, when he had acquired his stake he North Dakota’s Victory This Year Brings Young Men- tor’s Average Up Grand Forks, N.‘D., Nov. 15.—One of the interesting things about North Dakota’s annexation of the 1928 north central conference football championship is found in the league records which disclose that Coach Jack West of the Flickertails has now won 50 per cent, or four of the eight titles awarded in the confer- ence since it was organized in 1922. Another interesting side light on this unusual record compiled by Jack West is the fact that he has a “skip year” record. This, in short, means that he has won the title in 1922, 1926, and now in 1928. The first three championships were taken at uth Dakota State, and in his first year at North Dakota West is en- deavoring to keep up with his titular parade. If he continues this “skip year” program West will not win the conference bunting for North Da- kota next year, but will repeat again in 1930. In all the nine years West coached at South Dakota State he has had no better success than he has been able to achieve this year at North Da- kota. His Nodak warriors in their seven games shut out six teams | without a score, and in the other contest, with Morningside, forward passes gave the opponent two touch- downs. These 13 points are the only ones counted for the opposition, and North Dakota meanwhile has rung ap 187 points.

Jackie has done more to prove himself the real champion of the welterweight class than La Barba has done in the fly- weight division, but Joe Dundee may have to be led by a forty mule team into the ring with any worthwhile opponent. The writer was rather strong for Dundee until he ran out of a recent match with Jack Thompson and if Dundee had any reason to fear Thompson he has every reason to be just scared to death of Fields. Fields gave Thompson a terrific lacing after Thompson had knocked out Dundee in Chicago. But it must be said to the credit of Thompson that he went through with the match. . If Dundee can duck matches Thompson could have run out on Fields when he must have known that Fields would goal him. After messing up Thompson, | Fields made his position as the rank- ing challenger impregnable by knocking out Sammy Baker, the pet ring and seek the bantamweight championship. It may be that the stake he hac set aside did not prove to be of prop- er dimensions for the young head of a household, but regardless of the reason, he is back in the business and it may not be long until he will be a two-time champion such as lit- tle Johnny Buff became a number of years ago. La Barba already has one decisive decision over Bushy Graham, the rec- ognized champion, but the title did- n't go with his victory. They are matched again and La Barba certain- ly ought to cop officially.

He looks like the greatest halfback in the world at times and like the worst is existence at other times.

HOCKEY SEASON BEGINS TONIGHT New York, Nov. 15.—(AP)—With new faces to be seen on nearly every team, the 1928-29 season of the National Hockey League will get under way tonight. A brisk trad- ing season this fall has brought changes to all but the Montreal Ma- roons and the Boston Bruins. Canadiens will play the first game of their intra city rivalry that at- tracted the largest crowds in the Jeague last year. Two greatly re- vamped tail-enders of last year, the Chicago Blackhawks, and the New York Americans, will give their new teams a first test against Toronto and Ottawa. The world’s champion New York Rangers play their first game at Detroit with the hope of getting a good start toward the Stanley cup playoffs this season. Boston, trail- ing only the Rangers in the pre- season predictions, opens against Benny Leonard’s Pittsburgh team, one of the unknowns of the league. MUST HAVE BEEN OVERRATED Clemson’s crushing defeat recent- ly by Mississippi has caused experts to think that the team was greatly overrated.

Y., Nov. 15.—Ai- most half the membership of the Army’s football squad of 38 players are members of the military acad- emy track team, according to Major P..B. Fleming, graduate manager of athletics, who has just investigated athletic activities of the A football in other fields of sport. Three members of the squad hold academy records, “Bud” Sprague, left tackle, having set a new record in the shot put for three successive years; Hutchinson, halfback, holds the academy record in the pole vault, | while Stuart, another back who saw considerable action in the DePauw game, holds the broad jump record. “Bill” Hall, regular center of the | team, is captain of the track team. He was timed for the 100-yard dash at.10.1 seconds, the 220 in 22.7 sec- onds, the 440 in 51.5 seconds, and at the Penn relays last year took sec- ond place in the 3,000-meter steeple- chase. Army backfield men on the track team are Cagle, who puts the shot and competes in sprints; Murrel, who also sprints and is a consistent oint-winner in the low hurdles; lave, who is a sprinter; Piper, who has done the low hurdles in 25 sec- onds and is also a high jumper; Hutchinson, whose pole vault of 12 feet 3% inches is an academy rec- ord, and who is also good with the javelin; Allen, who shows well in the 440; Timberlake, who is good at the 100 and with the javelin; Stuart, who took second at the Penn relays in both the broad jump and the hop, step andl jump; and Bowman, who throws the javelin. Hammack, left guard, concentrates on the weight events, while Messin- ber, yearling end, is an all-around track man, doing the 100 in 10.2 sec- onds, throwing the discus 109 feet, and the 12-pound shot 46 feet 7% inches. Elias, left tackle, is another weight ;man and is eually good throwing the discus. Marshall, sub- stitute end, throws the javelin; Luck- ett, another end, runs the high hur- dles and high jumps; and Crabb, sub« stitute guard, is a weight man. ————— j Fights Last Night if _Fights Lust Night | (By the Associated Press) New York.—George Courtney.
