The Huskies grabbed the lead on the first tip-off, but the Nodaks immediately took it away and zan up an 18 to 5 lead on long shots before Washington stopped the mid- ‘westerners.

GOULD New York, Jan. 9.—()—Jack Demp- sey is expected to announce definitely tomorrow he had decided to carry out Tex Rickard’s wish that he return to -|the ring this year in an attempt to regain the heavyweight championship of the world. . . At first perhaps inclined to give up all thought of a comeback, as a result of the shock of losing the man who played so big a part in shaping his fighting destiny, Dempsey now seems to think that he could do nothing more appropriate than carry on as the promoter would have wished. His feeling perhaps is that with Rickard’s passing it is more binding upon him than before to carry out the pro- moter's desire that he fight once more. Unless there is a shakeup in the Program, this mean’s Dempsey’s next and probably last fight will take place at the Yankee stadium some time in September, more than 10 years after he won the heavyweight title from Jess Willard, three years, to the month, after he lost it to Gene Tun- ney. His opponent will be selected, if Rickard’s well-laid plans go through, from an elimination process involving four men. Two of them, Young Strib- ling and Jack Sharkey, will fight the first test match at Miami Beach Feb. 27 in a bout which will find Dempsey in @ promoter’s role for the first time. Paulino Uzcudun and Tom Heeney, unless the latter decides not to com- Pete, willymeet in a second elimination contest in May, the winner to box the victor of the Sharkey-Stribling match to decide Dempsey’s opponent. Hee- ney’s place may be filled by some other contender, but three prelim- inaries to the grand climax are Planned. Dempsey may qualify his announce- ment of a forthcoming comeback to the extent of saying it depends on whether he can regain his old fight- ing condition. Those close to him, however, do not believe any serious obstacles will arise. The directors of Madison Square Garden are understood to favor a fighting comeback by the former champion. Without the participation of Demp- sey it is not believed any series of heavyweight tests would produce a generally recognized champion or de- velop much financial profit. CANADIANS FAIL 10 New York, Jan. 9.—(AP)—Shooting Toronto's Maple Leafs, only a point behind the idle New York Americans lost their chance when they fell be- fore Boston by a 5 to 2 score and the Montreal Maroons did little better, being tied by the last place Ottawo Senators. George Boucher of Ottawa let fly a long shot that got past “Sleepy” Benedict to tie the count at 1-1 in the third period after the Maroons had gone ahead in the first game. The tie leaves Montreal in a dead- lock with Toronto for second place in ee group a point behind the Amer- ns.

Carried into the huge sports arena yesterday, the famous sports pro- moter’s body lay in a costly bronze casket all through the night while two attendants kept.a guard of honor. Under the floodlights which usual- ly illuminate. the Garden's boxing ring, the dead promoter lay in his casket almost directly opposite his own private box, so...bre with black draperies. At each side were huge Palms. Behind were massed hun- reds of floral tributes. After relatives and close friends had been given their hour or two alone with the dead yesterday, the @orts palace were thrown open to the general public. In three hours, some 15,000 men, women and children passed by the bier to pay their last respects. . At nine o'clock the doors of the arena were closed. Orders were given for the general Public to be admitted again today from 10 a. m. to 2p. m. The Rev.
