Bismarck Cage Teams Ope Rs rrese oaneearete PHANTOMS AND DAWSON CLASH IN FIRST GAME Independent Teams Meet Thursday Night in Opener at High School Gym DEMONS MEET HEBRON High School Gets Into Action Saturday; Mandan Plays Hebron Friday Bismarck this week begins what is expected to be a brilliant basketball season when the Phantoms meet the Dawson Independents Thursday night and the Demons meet the Heb- ron five Saturday. Mandan’s high school Braves, re- puted to be bigger and stronger than ever, meet Hebron Friday night in their first game of the season. Neil Churchill’s independent or- ganization will meet its opponents at 3:15 p.m. Thursday in the high school gymnasium, and the portly manager is expecting a victory. His team will be coached by Van Wyk, of the high school faculty, who groomed a strong quint at Ashley last season. The Phautoms have a crew of veterans who, though they have not had much of an opportunity to get in shape, are expected to take the con- test. Church is not sure that Bobby Rusch will be in the city to start the game egainst Dawson, but the sorrel-topped Northwestern star will strengthen the local club greatly if he can arrange to get into a suit on that night. Coach Roy McLeod has been working his high school aggrega- tion lightly, and says that he will not put them through a scrimmage in practice until after the opening game Saturday night. He says this 38 a practice which he always fol- lows. In the game against Hebron, Bismarck fans will see five letter- men and several other stars make their first start of the season. The lettermen are Spriggs, Jacobson, and Landers, forwards, and Fay Brown and John O’Hare, guards. New- comers expected to see service are Big Ted Meinhover, who may get a shot at the center job, Bob Paris, and Schwartz. Mandan’s club this year will be built around the two ‘stars, Jack Stephens and Lloyd McDonald, Coach Leonard McMahan says. | =o | Fights Lust Night | > (By The Associated Press) Boston—Ja-k Sharkey, Bos- ton, outpointed Arthur De Kuh, New York, (10).

Theiy intormal discussion of yes- terday lasted well into the evening but the chances were that today’s sessions would be short and snappy. The club owners and officials want to get to Chicago in comfort and in time for the joint meeting with the American League on ‘Thursday. Aside from th: reelection of John A. Heydler as president, a report on finances and official announcement that the St. Louis Cardinals won the 1928 pennant, there appeared to be nothing for the boys to do but pack their traveling bags and board a westbound train, Out of all the welter of conversa- tion at their initial session, the club owners’ most important pronounce- ment concerned the draft, a vexa- tious question to some baseball of- ficials. The National League had been informed by J. H. Farrell, sec- retary of the National Association of professional basebal! leagues, that major league representatives would be welcome at the minor league con- ference on the draft at West Baden, Ind, Jan. 10, But the National League decided that it would not care to be represented. “We do not feel. that we should goto any conference,” said -Mr. Heydler. “We will be glad to re- ceive any communication from the conference when some _ proposition can be submitted to us.” Aside from this matter, the Na- tional League decided to suggest to the joint meeting at Chicago that the majors continue their support of the boys’ baseball tournament spon- sored with success last summer by the Americanization committee of the American Legion. Only one trade was announced, Tris Speaker, nevr manager of the New- ark club of the International League, announcing th> purchase from the New York Giants, of Vic Aldredge, right handed pitcher, and Russell to: at When royalty weds it is an occasion for fancy trimmings and when “Honeyboy” Finnegan of Boston, king of the 130-pound fighters in New England, went to the altar with Miss Mary Eugenia Carr, of Dorchester, Mass., he outshone Mayor Jimmy Walker, New York's fashion king, in his raiment.

Braves. Running second to the __—_—_— Entering the game as the under- dog, the Tigers fought their way over a gridiron of solid ice to sub- merge the beefy Aggies by a score of 13 to 0. This little summer resort which annually changes its summer coat- ing-of green to a white blanket late in the football season awoke Thanks- giving morning to find the football field of its college covered with a solid cake of ice following a bliz- zard the night before. Finding it impossible to remove the white coating from the gridiron, coaches of the rivil elevens resorted to an application of red paint for the usual white lines on the football field. As a further protection, play- ers on the two teams oiled their bod- ies with goosegrease, and, wore wool- en underwear and gloves. The game itself brought out the most unusual football ever seen in this conference. Forward passes Went to naught as an intended re- ceiver slipped on the icy gridiron, Line plunges were often stopped back of the line of scrimmage as the ball carrier lost his footing. The Braves in ability to push the leather over, is Spearfish Normal, co-cham- pions with Huron College, who scored 62 points in the four conference games played. Huron College achieved a share in the conference championship scoring only 22 points against a schedule of four difficult rivals. Both Spearfish and Huron had only 6 points scored against them in the conference mompetition. Augustant College scored 48 porte against her opponent’s 32; Cg- lumbus 36 again 24; Southern 37 against 43; Yankton 36 against 24; Mines 35 against 36; Aberdeen 35 against 26; and Eastern, near the cellar, can sympathetically condole Weeleyan, basement lodger, having; a record of 38 points against 107 and compared with Wesleyan’s 12 against 124, Tn addition to claiming honors as the highest scorers in the state con- ference, the Braves, runners-up, also believe that they have the two high- est individual point getters in the state grid circle, although exact in- formation is not available at Sioux Falls.

Dak., Dec. 11.—In defeating McIntosh’s high school basket tossers 30 to 15 for their fifth ht victory of the season, Mc- Laughlin paid a heavy price. Tobias LeRoy, McLaughlin red head center, received a cut over his eye which will keep him from the court indefi- nitely. McLaughlin t-ok the lead at the start of the game, holding a 14 to 7 advantage at the half. A fast breaking offens~ was responsible for the victory. McIntosh, failing to get in for short shots, brought a long shot game into play. The lossrs made nine free throws and three field goals.

IN WINDY CITY Three Cushion and Pocket Bils liard Tourneys Are Set for Dec. 17-19 Chicago, Dec. 11.— (AP) —Two world billiard title matches will be decided here at the same time when the eight ranking three-cushion and pocekt billiard “shot makers” meet in a round robin tournament Dec. + |17, 18 and 19. It will be the first time that two world billiard cham- pionships have been decided ‘in joint tournaments. Among the three-cushion cue wielders will be the titian-haired national champion, Johnny Layton of Sedalia, Mo. Layton won the national crown last spring as he qualified for ‘the world’s tourna. ment together with Willie Hoppe, Otto Reiselt, former champion, and Gus Copulos. Hoppe vs. Layton Hoppe, runner-up in the national tournament, again is apt to prove troublesome for Layton. In a na- tional tour the former 18.2 balk line king more than held his own with the national three-cushion cham- pion. f Eight times national champion in ten years, Ralph Greenleaf, youthful pocket title holder, is fa- vored to win that honor. Green- leaf never has been defeated in a tournament, although he has lost his title several times in match play. Opposing the pocket star will be Frank Taberski, Ervin Rudolph, both former champions, and Pas- quale Natalic. Greenleaf has, shown strength in tournament play, and Taberski never has been defeated in match play, winning his title in oe by leading Greenleaf in match plaq. Above are the main scoring the team, Purses Are Large The purses this year will be the largest ever offered, according to the National Billiard Association, sponsors of the ‘ournaments. The winner of the title in each tournament will receive $2,500 in cash, 40 per cent of the net gate and a yearly salary of $6,000. The runners-up receive $1,250 in cash, 30 per cent of the gate and a salary of $3,000 a year. It is the first time that the winner of second place has been given a salary The third place winners receive $900 and 20 per cent of the gate, while $350 and 10 per cent of the gate goes to the fourth place play- ers Michigan State Team Will Have 2 Leaders East Lansing, Mich., Dec. 11— (AP)—For the first time in the his- tory of athletics at Michigan State College, the Green and White foot ball team of 1929 will be under the guidance of two captains, Vern Dickeson of Highland Park, Mich. and Fred Danziger of Detroit were tied in a vote by their team mates for the new gridiron captaincy, so it was decided that they should share the honor. backfield luminaries of last season, is 21, For six years Matty Bell, the old Center college end, has been head of the coach- ing system at Texas Christian university.
