The jewelers led all the way and only the sensational shooting of Doc Burdick, clever forward, kept the los- ers ini the running. Burdick was high scorer for his team, caging seven field goals and two free throws. Five of Burdick’s goals were from the center of the floor. Kreifels and Thornberg scored six goals each for. the winners. ‘With the two Bismarck teams hav- ing agreed to play a series of three games for the city championship, the Phantoms. issued a challenge to the Jeweler outfit for another game in the near future, according to Neil O. Churchill, Phantom manager. Churchill says his team has been struck hard by sickness and injuries this season and were handicapped to @ certain extent in the tournament, having played one more game than did the winners. May Break Up If the Jeweler team is not broken up the.game probably will be ar- vanged. However, Jack Kreifels, Jeweler star and manager, is leaving Bismarck today for Minot, where he will become manager of the Under- ‘wood ‘Typewriter company. The team May be disbanded because of this.
