First Win for East The first victory for an eastern team since the classic was started in 1925, was gained by the most decisive | score yet chalked up. An eastern touchdown crashed over in the first few minutes of play and thereafter the visitors from the sun- rise side the Rockies had things their own w !

TELLS 31 10:30 LOSS Dakotans Play Throughout Without Services of Paul Boyd, Boulder Buster GIVES COUGARS 2 OUT OF 3 North Dakota in Closing Min- utes Dissipates Nice Lead of 24 to 19 Provo, Utah, Dec. 31— A Brigham young Cougar, held effectively at bay fury in the final 20 minutes to out- point North Dakota’s nomads of the north here Saturday night, 31 to 30. North Dakota's sharpshooters clouted the air with shots in the last exciting moments, but some exasperating jinx kept any of them from sailing through the hoop for the points which would have meant victory. Letich Blows Chances Al Letich, who dropped through five field goals and two free throws dur- ing the course of the contest, had three opportunities from the gift line in the last 90 seconds of play. He made two of these. His second one was missed narrowly. Starting the contest without Paul Boyd, North Dakota was decidedly an underdog. Coach Clem Letich sent Lindell in for the Boulder Buster, and Vic Brown, Al Letich, Dewy Lee and Harold Eberly completed the regular starters. This combination outfought and outplayed Brigham Young in the first half with the exception of the opening minutes of the game when the Mor- mons assumed a 5 to 0 lead. Brigham kept on scoring and when half of the first canto was gone was still ahead 11 to 6. Later it was 15 to 9 for the home team. Then Brown and Letich with some of the finest breaking and shooting shown to date, tied the score at 15 all. Heartened by this spurt the nomads kept the pace and swept o . 24 to 19 lead at the end of the half. Phys:cal Condition Counted But Brigham’s remarkable physical condition asserted itself as soon as the second half got under way. The Cougars drove with tremendous speed and the tired Dakotans, fighting with a true scrapping heart, saw the score mount slowly, but surely. The sum- mary: Brig. Young Brintley. f .

BOSTON, NEWYORK | HOCKEY CLUBS NAB INTEREST OF FANS Canadian Teams Until Now Have Had Monopoly on Most Heated Competition New York, Dec. 31.—(AP)—Real rivalries among National Hockey e teams lave been confined to the Canadian members for the most part, but Boston and the New York Rangers are fast developing a heated competition that will take its place with the best of them. The Rangers; came out ahead last night 2 to 0 but only after the Bruins had fought them to a standstill through the first two periods of heated hockey. Last night’s victory brought the Rangers’ point total to 21, equalling! that of the New York Americans, In-| ternational group leaders, who hand- ed them a 1 to 0 defeat Tuesday, and leadership over Detroit safe. Detroit, after dropping a tough ond defeat of the week, came back to hold its own last night by beating Chicago, 3 to 1. Toronto's victory over the Cougars put the Leafs in second place in the International group, tied with the) Montreal Maroons. A vietory over the Maroons on Tuesday and over P'ttsburgh Thursday brought To-} ronto along the upward climb from the bottom of the group standing in one week.

New York, Dec. 31.—(7)—No world series of amateur golf, polo or general athletics such as the Olympics will be available for Americans to conquer, but 1929 should be far from an un- eventful year in far-flung sportdom. ‘What with boxing overheated with talk of a Dempsey comeback and baseball buzzing over preparations of rival clubs to dethrone the Yankees, it very likely will turn out to be a right exciting season for Uncle Sam’s big sports family. \ Little opportunity will be afforded American sports men and women to participate in international competi- tion so in the main they will have to concentrate on the rivalries for re- gional and national honors. The Olympic games are shelved un- til 1932. Walker cup play, symbolic of international championship in ama- teur golf, is closed for the year with the United States again in possession of the trophy. And there is little likelihood that America’s polo su- premacy will be disputed for at least another year, following the victory of the United States in a series with Ar- gentina. International Flavor Provided However, a strong international flavor will be provided by the Davis Cup play with France again defend- ing the trophy and with the United States a good prospect to again reach the challenge round.

D., Dec. 31.—Favored by excellent road conditions, fight fans of the northwest will flock to Fargo tomorrow to attend the annual New Year's fistic carnival at the Fargo auditorium, featuring Russie LeRoy, the blond Dakota puncher, and King Tut, the Minneapolis mauler who re- cently eliminated Billy Petrolle as a challenger for the lightweight cham- pionship. Phil Terk, who is in charge of the ticket sale, reported Sunday that all previous advance seat sale records have fallen and indications are that more fans will see LeRoy and Tut pummel each other than attended either the Pinkey Mitchell-LeRoy or Billy Petrolle-Alf Simmons matches. All fighters scheduled to appear on the program have reported in excel- lent condition and every schedule match will be presented as advertised. Tut and LeRoy have made tremend- ous impressions on the railbirds in their training jousts, and Saturday there were no available odds e-ther way and backers of both fighters ;; seemed plentiful. : Tut's great reputation has made him a slight favorite with the news- paper critics, but even these observ- ers admit that LeRoy must be con- ceded an excellent chance to carry on where Petrolle failed. Tut has a pe- culiar style, and not until these war- riors start exchanging thuds will a points with six field goals and three | comparison be possible. Lee Cavanagh, rugged Bismarck welter, promises to give the rugged Angelo Puglisi of Duluth a thorough test in the semiwindup, while Fordon |); Smith of Minneapolis has openly de- clared he intends to flatten Big Char- - ley Retzlaff, the Leonard, N. D., heavyweight. All of the fighters will wind up , their training preparations with light drills today. The first preliminary is scheduled to start promptly at 2:30 _ p. m., with Billy B. Hoke refereeing the contest between Tut and LeRoy while Leo Kossick of Moorhead will handle the remainder of the matches.
