COURT Thirty-eight High School Teams Wave Colors in Tonight's Games in State Bismarck and Mandan cagers meet at the state training school gymnasiam at Mandan at 8:15 o'clock (Mandan Time) tonight. The game between the two sec- end teams will begin at 7:15 o'clock (Mandar Time). Coach Roy McLeod said this morning that Captain Ben Jacob- ton is the only Demon certain to start tonight. He will shift his men around liberally throughout the contest, he said. Men besides Jacobson who will be in uniform are Landers and Loehrke, for- wards, Eddie Spriggs and Schwartz, centers, John O'Hare, Fay Brown and Earl Hoffman, guards. Coach Leonard McMahan prob- ably wiil start his regular lineup: McDonald and Russell, forwards; Arthur, center; Captain Jack Stephens and Helbling, guards. Thirty-eight high school basket- ball teams will wave their colors in various points in the state tonight as the second week of the strenuous Season gets under way. Games commanding most attention follow: Valley City at Grand Forks, Jamestown at La Moure, Bismarck at Mandan, and Devils Lake at Minot. Valley City last week-end put the skids under Minot by a 15 to 14 count and Devils Lake lost to Grand Forks, state champions for two years, by a 13 to 11 count. After the Grand Forks-Hiliner game tonight, fans should.be able to put their fingers on the few strongest teams in the state. Minot lost by a 14 to 30 count at Jamestown and an 18 to 23 count at Bowbejls. Devils Lake was beaten previously in the season by Stark- weather 13 to 16. Have Green Men. Coaches Ed.

Jamestown, which is already being picked to go a long way in the state Tace because of its impressive win over the Magicians, may run into a tartar in La Moure’s six-foot clan. Coach Howard C.

The biggest game tonight, however, | MO will find Coach Roy McLeod's Bis- marck Demcns facing Coach Leona:d McMahan's Mandan Braves at the State Training school gymnasium, scene of the annual state tourna- ments.

D., Jan. 18.—Embarked ¢ on & jaunt that includes three North Central Conference cage competitors in four days, the North Dakota Agri- cultural college yellowshirts will have ® pretty good idea just where they stand in the collegiate race by next Monday night. Coach Saalwaechter's Bison meet Scuth Dakota's Coyotes at Vermilion tonight, Morningside Maroons to- trow, and South Dakota State Monday night to complete, with the exception of the Nodak games, the final trip of the season. Following the rather surprising and decisive defeat of Morningside at the Bison court a week ago, Bison stock has soared to the point where it left off several years ago. Consequently, Yellow and Green followers are hop- ing their favorites will win on the Coyotes’ floor tonight and make seraelves @ contender for the pen- nant. Because of last week's victory, the Bison are installed as favorites over Morningside tomorrow, but the big Tub comes when Saaly’s men tangle with the South Dakota Jackrabbits Monday. All indications point to- wards a victory for the South Da- kota school which has a strong aggre- gation of veterans in the linesup, while hopes of the Bison mentor will rest largely with sophomores, Leo May, John Brady, and Gilly Johnson, who will be inserted as regulars. Balancing this youthful trio are Captain Bobby Hahn and Cecil Bliss, sharpshooting forwards, young in years but old in experience. “Briton Turns Down Chance at Pladner Paris, Jan. 18.—(AP)—Johnny Hill, the British flyweight, has rejected an offer of $4,000 to meet Emile “Spider” Pladner in Paris.

During the football season Evans | locked 14 punts and recovered five of them to score touchdowns. In one game, against Goddard Evans blocked six punts anJ scored four touchdowns And this record is all the more re- markable in view of the fact that Evans only played five games at tackle and the others at fullback. He is from Hudson Falls, N. Y., and intends entering Lehigh Univer- sity next fall. Incidentally, he also goes for baseball, basketball and track with as much skill as he has shown in football. MAJOR CLUBS WILL HAVE HARD SEASON Chicago, Jan. 18—(#)—The moot question of which of the two major leagues plays the best baseball may be partially settled when the Ameri- can and National league clubs clash in 93 exhibition games this spring. Connie Mack's Philadelphia Ath- letics lead the American league clubs in games scheduled with teams of the senior circuit, meeting the Heydler league teams in 22 games. Seven games will be played with the Phillies, two in Florida and five at Philadel- phia for the city championship. The A’s also encounter. the Cincinnati Reds in five games, the Boston Braves in six, and the St. Louis Cardinals in four. All will be played in Florida.

Bible as Coach Fort Worth, Tex., Jan. 18.—There's an old saying down in Texas that the thing to do if you can't beat some- body is to make ’em jme you! That is what Texas A. and M. has They haven't been able to beat Bell’s Texas Chris- tian University football team in four years, so they have given him the coaching job made vacant when Dana X. Bible went away to Nebraska. Bell, a youthful and handsome fel- low who learn football at Centre {college with ” McMillan, Red Roberts and those other famous stars, has coached four Texas Christian teams and each one either defeated or tied the Texas Aggies. The first time Bell's team played the Aggies, it won. In 1926, the Aggies were tied, 13-13. In 1927, with the great Joel Hunt in harness, the Aggies were tied again because Bell had an All-America star in Rags Mathews watching Hunt all after- noon. The 1928 game was a 6 to 0 victory for Texas Christian. Of course, all of this was griping to A. and M. followers, and they saw jine ’em! When Bible announced his depar- ture, they lost no time in hiring Bell, even though they had to bid high to get this young man away from the Fort Worth school. Bell with mediocre and limited ma- terial at T. C. U., turned out some of the strongest teams in the south- west during recent years and the alumni of his new school, where all the material and resources possible for a winning team are placed at the disposal of the football coach, expect him to land the Aggies as high every year as Dana X.

The local boys held the lead ending in favor of the Coleharborites, 12 to 7. . Tight defensive play coupled with good passing accounted for Cole- harbor's success.
