% ‘4 q FLICKERS SEEM 10 HAVE CRACKED AND BISON ARE BETTER } Nodaks Lose Second Loop Game of Season to Jackrab- bits 34 to 28 BISON TROUNCE AUGSBURG ; Two Teams Meet in First Two of Four Games at Fargo This Week-End Reversal in form shown by both the University of North Dakota and state agricultural college basketball teams in the last month makes prospects for typical grudge battles between the two teams this year exceptionally brilliant. The teams meet in the first two of four games this season at Fargo, Fri- day and Saturday nights, The two games at Fargo wil be broadcast over radio station WDAY, according to an announcement made yesterday. Both games begin at 8 p. m. After winning the conference cham- pionship last year, the University cagers were overwhelming favorites to win the loop title again this year. But things have changed in the last month. Cracked After Trip After a 5,500 mile jaunt about the country in which the Nodaks won five out of 12 contests with some of the best teams in the country, the Nodaks seemed to crack. As a result they barely won two games from South Dakota and Morningside and dropped two games to South Dakota State. Defeated by the Jackrabbits Saturday night 32 to 24, the Flickers are almost eliminated from the title chase. [Triumphant March of Paavo Nurmi Stop | Few Will Outjump Thi: If the presence of a giant at center gives a basketball team a distinct ad- vantage, as some coaches say, the Creighton cage outfit certainly has an advantage over their rivals. Their center, Verner Jensen, is so tall he can look over the top of the average automobile casily. He is six feet seven. Jensen also is high scorer of his club. He is shown here with The Bison, on the other hand, have made great improvement in the last month. This was indicated Saturday night when they administered an ar- tistic 41 to 22 defeat to the strong Augsburg five. The games this week-end, as usual, Promise to be close, hard fought, and not without a display of colorful spirit, Game Was Rough The South Dakota State college Jackrabbits climbed one notch closer to the North Central conference championship by downing North Da- kota university, 32 to 24, at Brook- The first half was a battle all the way with the score being tied seven times, the period ending 12 to 12. In the second half the Jackrabbits grad ually pulled away from the North Da: kotanas, piling up a six point lead. A rally by the visitors brought them to within two points of State with five minutes to play. The Jackrabbits went on a scoring spree and baskets by Nick Nicholson, Lem Herting and Beans Carey put the game on ice. Play was extremely rough. Paul Boyd and Curtis Schave of the Nodaks went out on personals and Roman Schafer Was eliminated for the Jackrabbits. ing in scoring with 12 points, Schave and Harold Eberly looked good for the Nodaks. Glenn Jarrett was their heavy scorer with seven Points, North Dakota Agricultural college gained sweet revenge on Augsburg of Minneapolis for an early season trouncing when the Bison basketeers hit 2 terrific scoring pace to bury the invaders Saturday night by a score of 41 to 22. The yellow and green piled in 14 field goals and 13 free throws in obtaining their aggregate while the Augies were held to 6 goals from the field, 5 of which were made in the first half. Braus Big Scorer Almost half of the Bison total was Tegistered by the elongated youth, Matt Braus. Leonard Saalwaechter Started Braus at center, sending Leo May to forward with Johnny Smith While Captain Bobby Hahn and Cecil Bliss started as spectators. Braus came through with the great- cst ‘ball game of his career, an ex- hibition strongly remindful' of the work of some of the great centers of the past who have performed on North Dakota Agricultural college teams.

WILL TRY NIGHT FOOTBALL Chicago will have its first taste of football at night next fall when Notre Dame plays Drake at Soldiers Field under electric candlepower. Schaefer and Ha then made good five out of seven attempts from the foul line. The Augsburg guards fouled Braus on three occasions to keep him from pelting the net at close range. While handing out the awards for distinguished service under fire, Pete Gergen, Cecil Bliss and Leo May must not be forgotten. Johnny Smith was steady while Gilly Johnson was adept enough at his back guard post but he had one of those nights when he con- nected with his opponent's arms too many times while reaching for the ball, and he went out on personals: The summaries: 8.
