Shaky Schaumberg was too much for the Jewelers, who were playing without the services of their star guard, Doyle. Schaumberg, former Jamestown college star, sank 11 field goals and two free throws. The game was closer, however, than the score would indicate. Kreifels carried the burden for the Bismarckers, sinking four field goals and a free throw. Washburn outscored the Jewelers 14 to-7 from the field.

Taking advantage of the idleness of the New York Americans, the Canucks scored their first victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates last night by a 2-0 count to give them a one-point margin. The game came perilously close to ending, as the two early in the sea- son did, in a tic. Only the fine skat- ing of Howie Morenz and the sharp- shooting of his defense mates at un- expected moments gave the Cana- diens their counters, _Two other games last night pro- duced few results so far as the stand- + ings were concerned. The Montreal Maroons succumbed to their old rivals from Ottawe, 2 to 1 and the Detroit Cougars lost to Boston, 1 to 0.

Cochran, of Hollywood, and young Jake Schaefer of Chicago, clash to- night in the final match of the round robin tournament at the Level club with the championship going to the winner. 5 Schaefer climinated the last of the four foreign entrants when he de- feated Kinrey Matsuyama, 400 to 331, yesterday afternoon, It was the second reverse for the game little Japanese who won his first three matches in brilliant style. His other defeat was at Cochran's hands in a grueling battle Monday i@nt. His triumph over Matsupama ele- vated Schaefer into a tie with Coch- ran for the lead with only their own duel still on the schedule. The two Americans each have won three matches in four starts.

LeRoy-Cavanagh Card Will Have Hot Semiwindup Isham ‘Tex” Hall this morning said that by no means is the 10-round bout j between Russie LeRoy and Lee Cava- nagh going to be the whole show at the Dome pavilion March 7. Despite the fact that the LeRoy- Cavanagh spectacle is an admitted choice morsel in this section, Hall is planning a semi-windup go which will knock the fans stiff. He wants to use Bob Baker, 143- pound stablemate of Cavanagh, in the semi-windup if he can arrange it. | He wants to send Eddie Kid Bauman, Edgeley, Bob Nicholson, Fort Lincoln, or Slugger White, Ellendale, against Baker. If one of these three men cannot be engaged, he has another bout in view. The other bout would be K/O.

Southern California second, and Cali- | fornia third in the track ratings this ; Scason. | To put it another way, Stanford. even at this early date, seems a einch to cart away top honors at the inter- jcollegiates and the national track | championships, as it has the past two | seasons. e | The advance notes from Southern | California and California are quite } mournful, but those from Stanford are optimistic. As a result, there | doesn’t seem much likelihood of some i eastern school walking away with the national titles for the second time in | nine years. These three California schools have led ‘the field in the intercollegiates seven times in the past eight years. Yale, in 1924, was the only outfit to grab top honors for the east. And no school seems likely to stop Stanford this season. Cromwell Is Gloomy Dean Cromwell admits his Southern California squad hasn't much chance of winning big honors this year. He is woefully weak in the field events. Of course he has Charley Borah and Jack Williams as outstanding per- formers in the sprints and pole vault, and he has a number of veterans from last year’s squad. but the power isn’t there, and he admits it. both ineligible last season, may put a different complexion on Cromwell's team. Stewart is the best Trojan in the shot, discus and high jump, and Needham throws the javelin around 190 feet in practice. If they compete capably it ma: ean a difference of 10 to 12 points in every meet. His opinion is that the Trojans won't be terribly bothersome this year. but he urges track followers to watch them in 1930 and 1931. The California outfit wasn’t such a wow last season. They scored only five points at Harvard, and didn’t do so well in their dual meets. Of the 1928 squad only nine veterans remain for Walter Christie, serving his twen- ty-ninth season as track mentor. Cap- tain Henry Curtice in the javelin and Ned Cherry and Henry Carter in the mile ate regarded as his most capable performers. Newcomers to the squad may un- | cork unexpected strength, but hardly enough to make the California squad a feared one. Stanford has ample veteran materi- al on hand and an abundance of sophomores ready to perform in the spots of the missing men of the 1928 | squad. Nine veterans are missing this year, including Bob King, Bud Spencer and Kimball Dyer, but there remains a goodly number. Of the 43 points scored in the intercollegiate last sea- son, 30 points remain with Stanford; of the 77 scored in national cham- Pionships, 44 are on hand. Field Men Strong They are not making much whoopee about Templeton’s track performers, but the field performers, the factor in the big meets in 1928, are numer- ous. They made Stanford powerful \ last year, and are the reasons for op- timism at Palo Alto this year. The field performers who remain include Krenz and Rothert in the weights, Kibby and Sparling in the javelin, Zombro in the broad jump, ian ___THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE Bs: oo Meet in ‘Rubber’ Cage Co Demons Preparing for Hard Game With Jamestown Here Friday, Young Stribling Takes the Count. - Jim Stewart and Russ Needham, |* ie seu seat tte ome [BART WPLEOD WILL BRING 5 VETERANS HERE FOR CONTEST Bismarck Will Meet Minot and Dickinson After Tussle With Bluejays Withnell, Franke, Crouse, Nel- son and Schwartz Are a Tough Combination After a bad scare last week-cnd when they barely nosed out the Man- dan Braves 13 to 10 at the state train- ing school, the Bismarck high school Demon cagers will meet Jamestown here Friday night in what is expected to be the last hard game before tournament time. The Demons will mect Minot and JIMMIES HAVE IMPROVED| Dickinson on successive weekerkds after the Jamestown game to wind up their season's schedule, but neither of the two teams are expected to be as strong as Mandan, Jamestown, and Valley City, teams which Coach Roy McLeod's men have trounced. The Demons will have to play good basketball against the Bluejays if they wish to keep their record une blemished. The capital city boys whipped the Jay crowd 24 to 11 at Jamestown three weeks ago, but fans are agreed that the Jims may have improved greatly since that time. The game will bring together two teams coached by the McLeod broth- ers, Roy Douglas and Bart of Bis- marck and Jamestown respectively. Bart has a crew of five veterans. Four of them, who have played two years, are Lloyd Withnell and Art Nelson, forwards, and Irwin Franke and Ray Schwartz, guards. The fifth man, who has been playing a great game this season despite the fact that he has had but one year's experi- ence, is Tom Crouse, center. Except for defeats by Bismarck and Fargo, two unbeaten teams, the Jays have a clear record this season.* Bison Grid Team Makes 2 Montana Trips Next Year Schedule of Nine Games, Four in Conference, Is An- nounced by Finnegan A schedule of nine games, four against new opponents, for the North Dakota Agricultural college 1929 foot- ball campaign has been annovnced by Cc. C. “Casey” Finnegan, atliletic di- rector. Two journeys will be made to Montana in facing opp..sition: Mount St. Charles, the only team to defeat the University of North Da- kota last year, will face the Bison at Helena, while a game against Mon- tana State at Bozeman closes the schedule. Increased strength in colleges across the river from Fargo has led Mr. Finnegan to schedulé games with Concordia of Moorhead ard the Moorhead Teachers, new competition. Concordia opens the scheduie, with and Edmonds in the pole vault. The experienced runners are Nichols in the hurdles, Lauritzen in the dashes, and McKinnon in the/ mile. Templeton also has on his squad a number of the fellows who earned points here and there last season, who may account for more points this season than they did last year. Looks Like Cinch On the surface of this advance gos- sip it seems as if Stanford is a cinch to win from Southern California and California in dual meets, and has al- most as much of a cinch to grab off top’ honors in eastern meets. South- ern California may show unexpected stzength, depending on how the soph- omores pan out. California, though, hrs little chance to do much. \Midwest Amateur [Boxers Have Meet Omaha, Neb., Feb. 13.—(P)—Ama- teur boxers from Iowa, Nebraska, North and South Dakota will meet Feb. 26 to battle for the mid-western amateur athletic union championship. j The tournament is open only to anta- teurs who never have won a district championship. » Official mid-western A.
