COYOTES CLASSY ON FLOOR IN SPITE OF LOPSIDED SUMMARY Leo May Comes Through With Eight Field Goals; Hahn Scores Six ROOT IS INVADERS’ STAR Aggies Start Early to Take Good Lead and Gradu- ally Pull Away Fargo, N. Dak., Jan. 28.—Baskets swishing through the nets from every angle, perfectly timed passes and abil- ity to check an offensive before it was well underway enabled the North Da- kota Agricultural college basketeers to defeat South Dakota university in a North Central conference contest here Saturday, 41 to 28. It was a lopsided win for the Bison as far as the final count is concerned, but on the floor the Coyotes waged a game battle and a closer score would have been in order under ordinary circumstances. Leo May, husky center from-Aber- deen, S. D., was chiefly responsible for the fact that ordinary circum- In the center is Jim Jeffries, heavyweight champion. His brother, Jack Jeffries, stands to the left, while the great Tommy Ryan, middle and welterweight king, is on the right. u i This picture was taken during one of their training sojourns in Happy Hollow, back of the Arlington Hotel at Hot Springs, Ark. Jeffries was preparing for his fight with Gus Ruhlin, which took place in 1901 in the old Mechanics’ Pavilion, San Francisco. ? That fight saw the death blow to Ruhlin’s title hopes. Stimulated by a victory over Tom Sharkey via the knockout route, Gus was certain he was destined to become heavyweight champion, and Billy Madden, his manager, urged him on in every way he knew how. For two rounds it looked as though Ruhlin really would transfer the title to his own broad shoulders. But in the third the ax, wielded by Jeffries, fell with a vengeance, and by the end of the fourth Ruhlin was in bad shape. Just before the fifth ended, Jeffries whipped a terrific left into Ruhlin’s stomach. The gong rang and Ruhlin, in terrific pain, staggered to his corner. Madden took one look at his man and tossed in the sponge. Jack Jeffries also was a fighter, but he lived in a golden age of heavyweights and was not quite good enough to tackle Fitzsimmons, Corbett and men of that type. He would: no doubt rank high in the list were he alive today, but then he worked as a sparring partner to his brother. Ryan, middleweight ruler, served as an invaluable boxing teacher to Jeffries. At the request of William A. Brady, Jeff's manager, Ryan took the big fellow in hand and taught him how to hit properly. In addition to that, it was under Ryan's tutelage that the famous Jef fries crouch came into existence. Cavanagh-Compton Tickets Go on Sale Mehlhorn Crashes Second Golf Mark In Texas Tourney Wins $1,500 at Texas Open; Horton Smith, With Good Golf, Is Second San Antonio, Tex., Jan. 28.—( The golfing records of Texas went with wild bill Mehlhorn today as he moved on to Hot Springs, Ark., for. the $5,000 South Central open tourna- ment, starting there Jan. 31. The crafty Fennimore pro, complete master of the Lone Star state's winter open tournaments, carried with him a new world’s record, a new Texas open record, two course records, and two first prizes totaling $2,000. Mehlhorn collected the major purse, $1,500 in successfully defending his title in the Texas open here yesterday with 77 strokes, a new tournament record. His 66 on the third. round set a new course record for Brecken- ridge park. His total was seven strokes below Par and was four strokes under young Horton Smith of Joplin, Mo., who took second money of $800 with his 281, a masterful score of itself. Mehl- horn collected $500 as first prize in the low-moneyed El Paso open last Sunday when he clipped 17 strokes from par to establish a new world’s tournament record of 271 for 72 holes. After getting away to a bad 75 on the opening day Mehlhorn came back to whittle strokes from par in every suc- cessive round. He was two under par with a 69 Saturday and yesterday morning he set the new record. Mehlhorn’s 548 strokes for the two successive 72-hole tournaments were’ 24 strokes under par, and probably entitle him to another world’s record for low strokes in successive tourneys, Smith never had a bad round but his scores hovered around par. And he was wholly unable to match Mehl- horn’s scorching rounds. His total was 69-72-70-70—281. wi Hutchison of Pasadena, Cal. shot 282 and collected $500 for third Pieoe: Frank Walsh, Appleton, Wis., won $400 with a 284, COACHES TEAM AND BOXES Lou Mutzel, a sophomore at Buck- nell, is coach of the boxing team and also a member of the team as a light heavyweight. [LITTLE JOE 4 o— --——@ Doors to Dome Pavilion, Scene of Card, Open at 7:30 P. M. Friday HEADLINERS CONFIDENT Roberts Will Referee After All; Principals Threatening Knockouts Tickets for the big fight card, fea- turing the 10-round encounter be- tween Lee Cavanagh, Bismarck, and Tiger Johnny Compton, Minot, are now on sale in Bismarck and Man- dan, according to an announcement by Isham Hall and W. J. Godwin, co- Promoters. They are being sold at the Grand Pacific hotel, Patterson hotel, and Harris & Woodmansee's, all in Bis- marck, and the Lewis and Clark hotel and McDonald hotel, Mandan. Orris W. Roberts this morning as- sured Hall that he would be in the city to referee the complete card of eight bouts and 41 rounds Friday night. Hall said .that the doors to the Dome pavilion, midway between Bis- marck and Mandan, where the card will be staged, will open at 7:30 p. m. Most of the fighters on the card are expected to arrive in Bismarck Wed- nesday or Thursday, and arrange- ments have been made for them to work out at Roberts’ gymnasium, Hall said today that he expects one of the biggest fight crowds Bismarck has ever had to watch the bout be- tween Cavanagh and Compton. Cavanagh won a decision over Compton last summer, while Compton won from Cavanagh about a year ago. Lee said Compton whipped him when he was suffering from several boils on his head, and that he is out to knock him out this time to prove his super- jority. Reports from Minot indicate that Compton is just as confident of tak- ing the local welterweight’s measure. Rangers Fail to Return Favor to American Outfit New York Americans’ Victory Does Not Change Stand- ing; Bruins Win it New York, Jan. 28. () The working agreement between the New York hockey teams, leaders of their re- spective groups in the National Hockey League, has suffered a severe setback. All this season the Rangers have helped out the Americans by de- feating an international group team when a defeat meant a lot to the lead- ers of that division, and the Ameri- | Bliss, f cans performed the same service for the rangers. - Last night the Americans did their share, beating the Detroit Cougars, third in the American section, 2 to 1, but it was of more assistance to the second place Boston Bruins, who kept the rangers from doing their part of the job by winning, 2 to.1. The result leaves the standings unchanged. The Tangers tonight play off a postponed game with Les Canadiens of Montreal. Tonight's contest also gives the Canadians another shot at the Ameri- cans’ lead. The flying n, second in the international group, cut the margin to one point Saturday by turning in a 2 to 1 victory over Ottawa. but the Americans made it three Points again last night. Montreal’s Maroons, who have held onto third place despite a string of nine games without a victory, broke into the win column Saturday by beating Pittsburgh. The Maroons tallied twice in the first eight minutes stances did not control the pastim- ing. We have seen some basketeers ‘hot’ but we have never seen one per- form on top of a heated flatiron. And May must have been standing on such an_implement. There was no angle on the court too tough for May, eight times his pitches at the net finding their way through the opening. ‘They were short and long shots, set-ups and from different angles—none being too tough. In fact. it is fortunate for Rube Hoy’s lads that May didn't get the ball more often when inside mid- court. Hahn Also Scores In addition to May’s ‘hot’ shooting, Bobby Hahn turned in a fine offen- sive game, scoring six times from the field, while Cecil Bliss, Gilly Johnson and Peter Gergen offered a stirling brand of defensive play. The Coyotes played excellent bas- ketball, but were too slow afoot to cope successfully with the Bison. ‘Time after time well planned Coyote offensive threats were stopped simply because the Coyotes were outspecded and sometimes outguessed. Root Great Player Root was the outstanding perform- er on the visiting delegation and we shudder to think of what might hap- pen to the North Central race if Hoy could find another performer or two boasting the class of this fellow. Root dribbled like a Claudie Miller, passed with uncanny accuracy and he scored four times from the field, and he Plays a guard position. All in all, this young man did a mighty fine job of basketeering. The Bison pulled away early in the game, holding a 10 to 1 advantage after seven minutes of play. The Coyotes rallied for a time but the Bisén started scoring again and were ahead, 22 to 11, at the half. From then on the Bison enjoyed a com- fortable margin all the way. The “NDA. C.
