All of the Braves are in good con- dition for the game tomorrow night. McMahan says. He probably will start McDonald and Russell at for- * wards, Arthur at center, and Jack Stephens and Helbling at guards. McLeod will start Capiain Ben Ja- ' cobeon and Loehrke or Landers at forwards, Eddie Spriggs at center, and ‘ John O'Hare, Fay Brown or Earl Hoffman at guards. MINNESOTA LOOKS FOR SNAPPY GAGE GAMES THIS WEEK Four Minnesota College and One Midwest Conference Games Are Carded St. Paul, Jan. 10.—(AP)—Four Min- nesota college conference and one Midwest conference basketball games © are before state cage fans Friday and ) Saturday, the biggest program offered / to date. THE SCHEDULE. Friday. St. Thomas at St. Olaf. St. Mary's-at St. John's. Macalester at Gustavus. Saturday. St. Mary's at St. Thomas. Hamline at Carleton. Hamline's undisputed possession of first place hinges on the outcome of the St. Thomas-St. Olaf. game at Northfield as the Pipers hold a two- game victory record and the Oles need only a win over the Tommies to tie the locals for the leadership. Indications are that the Northfield clan will join the Pipers, who have downed the Tommies in a previous game. A veteran aggregation will represent St. Olaf, comprised of Almlt and Gilbertson, forwards, Captain Egge, Iverson or McKenzie, guards, and either Mostrom or Jacobson at _. center, . Gustavus to Start. Gustavus gets its 1928-29 confer- ence baptism against the Macmen, | who have won from St. Mary's ana lost to Hamline and Augsburg. Good team work and expert shooting -has been shown by the Gusties, defend- ing champions.

NORTH DAKOTA GIRL CAGERS INVITED TO NATIONAL MEET SECOND BASE FOR NEW YORK GIANTS BIGGEST PROBLEM Andy Reese and Andy Cohen to Fight It Out; McGraw’s Pitchers Weak A. A. U.

The outstanding girls’ basketball team of North Dakota will be invited |: to attend the 1929 official women's A.A.U. basketball championship tour- nament this year. The big tou: ent will be held at the Wichita, Kansas, Forum on March 26-30. The entry list probably will be limited to 32 of the best teams of the United States. The tournament will be conducted under regulation girls’ basketball rules as, outlined in Spalding’s guide. The tournament is sponsored by the Kan. sas division of the A.A.U. and desig- nated by the National A.A.U. as the official championship tournament.

All inquiries should be ad- dressed to S. W. Cooper, Elks Club Athletic Committee, Wichita, Kansas. 2 STAR ATHLETES WILL BE RABBITS Elmer Welch, Great High School Star, and Maynard Tol- lefson Enroll New York, Jan. 10—(#)—John J. McGraw, manager of the New York Giants, probably will have to go into many a huddle with himself and his new assistants, Ray Schalk and Bert Niehoff, before he decides on the per- manent Sersoninal of his 1929 outfit. Second base, the outfield and the Pitching staff will give the veteran manager much food for thought. ~ Three-fourths of the 1928 infield cast will remain—Bill Terry at first base, Travis Jackson at short, a Fred Lindstrom at third. Secon uncertain. Andy will play the bag, but ‘whether it is to be Reese or Cohen remains to be’ seen. No mat- ter. which Andy is given the assign- ment, the other will remain on call. Gets Fred Leach McGraw thinks the outfield prob- lem may develop into an abundance of riches. He added a clever and ex: Perienced major league performer to his club when he procured the serv- ices of Fred Leach by trade from the Phillies; and Ed Roush, Melvin Ott and Jim Welch are brought over from last year.
