Valley City-Jamestown G Bison, Smarting_ MINOT MEETS BRAVE AND DEMON OUTRITS THIS WEEK-END Moorhead Is Ruled Slight Fa- vorite to Defeat Grand Forks Aggregation FACE ABERDEEN SATANS TO Jamestown Given Upper Hand “This Year Over Hiliners, According to Fans Minot and Mandan meet at 8 o'clock (Mandan time) at the Mandan high school gymnasium tonight, according (to an an- nouncement made today by Man- dan authorities. A preliminary game is sched- uled for 7:15 o'clock. Valley City vs. Jamestown—that is tonight’s spectacle in the state high school cage race. The Hiliners and Bluejays for scv- eral years have been the closest ath- {etic rivals in the state, year in and year out. The big reason for this is that the two cities, which have always been approximately the same size, are only 40 miles apart and are jeal- ous. for supremacy in their particular district. For this reason, as in the Bison- Nodak games from year to year, merit is not always the deciding factor in victory for one team or the other. Games between these two teams, no matter what the comparative strength, ‘are always close and hard ‘ought. Hiliners Are Underdogs Valley City has had the upper hand in’ most of the conflicts, but they’ ate the underdogs in tonight's fray because they have had a poor season as far as victories go and Jamestown has had an impressive one. Bart McLeod’s Jays will also be playing on their home court. Claudie Miller tonight will use Owens,‘Nugent and DuVall at for- wards, McKay and Thorson at cen- ter, and Ferguson, Jarvis and Lock- guards. Of the other 17 games carded to- night, those bringing Grand Forks to Moorhead and Aberdeen to Devils Lake are the only ones of particular interest. Moorhead is ruled a slight favorite to win over Grand Forks, but the promises to be a torrid battle, and the Spuds will have to put forth their best. to avoid a defeat. Ed. Bohnhoff has been bringing his along slowly, but they have ‘ions, but last week lost six men, four are regulars, for breaking r rules.

Both in Best Shape For Coming Battle Training of Two Pugilistic Ath- letes, However, Overshad- owed by Resorts | Miami Beach, Fla., Feb. 22—(7)— Circumstances and the breaks of the game seem to be wor! hand in hand to.leave none but thé echoes of the ballyhoo thunder for two young heavyweights who will swap punches in the center of Flamingo Park next ‘Wednesday night. In all probability there never has been another major heavyweight bat- tle in modern fistic history where the training efforts of two such prin- cipals as Boston Jack Sharkey and Young Stribling, Georgia’s ‘slugging pride, were lost so completely in the Picturesque scenery of the battle- Ground or so overshadowed by the Personalities of such figures as Jack Dempsey and doughty Bill Carey. Sharkey a Stranger The Sharkey of today is something northern fans have not seen for more than three years. He has shaved his Akron Heavyweight Aspirant Will Tangle With Paulino Uzcudun in New York BUCKEYE BATTLER IDOL Has Slid Neatly by Knute Han- sen and Sharkey; Searches Earning Power New York, Feb 22.—(7)—Kayo Christner’s one-man crusade against heavyweight championship contend- ers gets under way again tonight when he meets Paulino Uzcudun in a 10-round bout in Madison Square Garden. It will be the third crack at title aspirants for Akron’s retired tire maker, and if he gets by the squatty Spaniard as impressively as he did Knute Hansen and Jack Sharkey he will be in line to cash in heavily dur- ing the lucrative outdoor season. Kayo dropped the decision to the gibbering gob, but he made Jack look so bad that it will take more than a decisive victory over Young Stribling to make him a title prospect, in the eyes of the 20,000 who saw the Christ- ner-Sharkey fight. Sharkey might have been through that night, but he had the Madison weight down to the figure of his first commanding victories, the conquests of the negroes, George Godfrey and Harry Wills, more than three years ago. The Boston Sailor, burned a ruddy red by constant exposure to the sun, scaled only 187 pounds after his lat- est workout and promises to enter the ring under 191. In appearance, too, Sharkey has changed. His waist is slim and trim, and movements lithe and eager, and every movement denotes absolute confidence in the outcome of the battle of the Ever- glades. The cockiness and .bragga- docio of the man who .all but knocked out Dempsey in the first round of their struggle has given way. to the calmness and self-restraint that seem to follow financial success in fisticuffs. Within the ring Sharkey has changed his style in several ways. Ever since the knockout of Maloney, the sailor man has set a premium on, punching power. Today Sharkey is back to the clever style of fighting, the clean, accurate, but not overheavy punching that wore down his first major opponents. He invites his sparring partners to corner him on the ropes where he practices weaving and rolling with punches. In the center of the train- ing ring, Sharkey boxes on his. toes, flashing a sharp left-hand and right- hand punches that dart to the head or boom heavilf into the body, Stribling Changed, Too Stribling,too,scems to have changed his style. The Georgian still dotes on close work where the left hand is caught in a clinch with the right free to slug overhand to the head and Square Garden corporation tied up to ®@ $100,000 guarantee for the Miami Beach bout Feb. 27, so the Garden crowd had to go through with the thing. From all indications Christner is just the man the boxing world has been hoping for to come along and drive out the mass of mediocre maul- ers cluttering up the heavyweight game. Whether he is to assume that role definitely will be determined in the Paulino battle. This is giving a lot of attention to the 34-year-old fistic freak, but these days you cannot overlook a man with @ right fist full of dynamite and a fighting heart to keep it functioning. Kayo will be something like a 1 to 5 shot for this bout, as he was against Sharkey. He won't lack backers, for the Buckeye battler is the idol of the short-enders.. He has a knockout punch and has the stamina and courage to stay in there swinging it from gong to gong. BASKETBALL NAPOLEON 26; ASHLEY 25 Napoleon, N. Dak., Feb. 22.—In one af the most exciting games ever Minnesota U Will Stage Two Dakota Relays This Year One Will Be for Universities and Agricultural Colleges; Fin- ger in Charge Minneapolis, Feb. 22.—(7)—New features in the program of events the First Annual Minnesota Relays, April 8, have been announced Coach Sherman Finger of the Uni- versity of Minnesota. Finger, who as head track and field coach at the University, is in charge of the relays, today said that the or- iginal Dakota relay had been changed to the North Central relay, which will comprise the Universities of North and South Dakota and the a ricultural schools, besides Mornii side. All these schools have regis- tered for the field house carnival. A second Dakota relay has been added and will include such colleges as Columbus, Huron, South Dakota Wesleyan, Northern Normal at Aber- deen and Yankton, all being allowed the use of freshmen. A request has been received to form a division for Wisconsin Normal schools, which would be-open to River Falls, La Crosse, Superior, Stevens Point, Eau Claire, the Stout Institute of Menominee and others. If suf: ficient responses reach Coach Fin- ger, which means that at least four teams must be entered, the addition will be made. Of the Big -Eight high schools, Rochester, Winona, Owatonna. and Red Wing have registered teams, with Mankato expected to enter soon. ‘This leaves room for one more to com- plete the limited string of six, the last expected to come from Austin, Albert Lea, Northfield or Faribault. Mora, Stillwater, Pine River and North Branch ‘have entered from the Little Eight group, and St. Cloud, Wi- nono, Eveleth, and Mankato from the Little Ten. The Minnesota College conference thus far will be repre- sented by Macalester, St. Thomas, Gustavus. Adolphus and Hamline, while Carleton, Coe, Cornell and Knox have entered from the Midwest con- ference. Eight Teams Enter North Branch Meet jlayed on the local floor, the Na- poleon Squirrels added another acorn ‘o their string of victories by defeat- ing the fast Ashley Aces 26 to 25. ‘The local team jumped into the lead in the first few seconds and led their opponents throughout the con- test. Willie Meier, forward, was the outstanding man in the game with 16 points to his credit while Daschle, the other forward, played a good floor game and gathered seven points for his team. Captain Elhard played @ strong game both on the defense and the offense. Shafer and Koch played a nice guarding game. For the visitors there ‘was no particular star. The sum- z i. 1-21 #79 ‘W.

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE ame Features 18 on Tonight's Pro Camp of Nodaks TONIGHT'S CONTEST TO DETERMINE 2ND CONFERENCE PLAGE Bison Won First Game by One Point but Were Trounced in Follow-Up FLICKERS IN GOOD SHAPE At Least 300 Bison Rooters and 70-Piece Band Journey to Grand Forks Fargo, N. D., Feb. 22.—Smarting under the decisive defeat adminis- tered by the Nodaks in the game last Saturday, the Bison will be a blood- thirsty band of basketeers when they face the University at Grand Forks tonight in the first game of the final two-game series. Second place in the North Central Conference and the state championship is the prize dang- ling before the contestants. Judging: by last week’s games, the Flickertails are in much better con- dition than are the Bison, and Coach Saalwaechter is concentrating his efforts on winning the first game as his charges did in the last series. If the Bison can turn the trick, they will rest securely in second place in the North Central Conference race, while the Nodaks will be relegated to third place. ‘If the Nodaks take the first contest, the two North Dakota quints will be tied for second place behind South Dakota state. Training for the Buffalomen the past week has been largely of the mental type with “Saaly” attempting to erase the trace of staleness which his men displayed’ in the last game. ‘The probable lineup is, May, center; Bliss and Hahn, forwards, and Gergen and Johnson, guards, while Braus, Smith and Brady will be held in re- serve.

FARRELL Miami Beach, Fla., Feb. 22.—There seems to be only one thing certain in the minds of Pa Stribling, Ma Stribling and their son, Willie, as the date approaches for the boy's fight here with Jack Sharkey. They are going to win the fight, Defies Injuries to Take Hurdles 4 they tell you. And they give the most | reasonable argument in nice polished way. It seems, they insist, that young Bill was predestined and preordained to the heavyweight champion of the world. His career was made out for him by a sort of providence and now all that remains between him and the goal is the Sharkey man and per- haps that Dempsey , person who is helping to promote the fight. “Money isn’t the thing with us in this fight,” Pa Stribling said and the boy nodded assent. It is hard to get the boy to talk about himself. He operates on the theory that his father is much better qualified to talk. He can use bigger words, the boy says, and his conver- sational gear runs at many more miles an hour. Money Isn't Everything “As I was saying,” Pa went on, “money isn’t everything to us in this fight. We are not poor people and we are not great big millionaires, but I think we proved that this wasn't @ money fight with us. We wanted more out of it than money. ~ “We talked with Tex Rickard. He gave us our price and we agreed and there were no pal nd, their very pers signed 5 when those things heppened as they thi did, we talked again to Mr. Carey and we said’ that our understanding with Rickard could be written off and we would do business again with the cor- poration. . “And we did. We are in there fighting for a percentage of the gate and I don’t know what our end will be and I have not been near the box office to see. We are not interested in the money angle. What we want to do is to get in shape and we are Going that. Stribling Too Fine “The experts who have been peer- ing at Sharkey and Stribling in their workouts think that Stribling is too fine. He has been fighting a lot here and there all over the country and the weather has been very hot here. Sharkcy claims that the weather ad- vantages should be for Stribling. “What's he squawking about the weather for?’ Sharkey asks. ‘He is a guy from the south, ain't he? He ought to go big on this hot stuff.’” The boy and his father, however, do.not think they are losing too much weight. “I know what I ought to weigh,” . “I've always been kind count 10 and that’ there—a, counter. ‘Will Chase Sharkey Stribling says that he has a battle plan mapped out and that it is not @ complicated plan. r “Im just going to hit him in the middle,” the boy said, and Pa and Ma nodded. “That fellow Sharkey doesn’t like to be hit in the body.

Tomorrow Chicago, Feb. 22—(P)—Purdue's hopes of winning or tying for the Big Ten basketball championship will rise or fall when it tackles Ohio State's dangerous team at Columbus tonight.
