Lee, ambitious and eager, is confi- dent that he will give Russie the beating of his life and might knock him out. Russie is so sure of win- ning that he is giving the encounter little consideration. Sentimentalists Favor Lee Sentimentalists give Cavanagh the edge in the chances for victory as they realize a win for the Bismarck scrapper means a step up the ladder for him. Close followers of the game, how- ever, are favoring LeRoy because of his previous record and experience. argue that the Fargo blonde will make the fight short tonight be- cause he cannot afford to lose; if he loses, his comeback ascension up the mountain of welterweights will cnd in a snowslide. The two fighters, each angry with the other for remarks of confidence made after the signing of the con- tract. were to weigh in at the Grand Pacific. billiard parlors at 3 p.m. today. One of the largest crowds ever to attend a fight show in Bismarck is expected tonight, according to the two promoters, Isham “Tex” Hall and W. J. “Bill” Godwin, because of the record-breaking previous ticket sales. Worked Out Yesterday Russie and LeRoy worked out in Mandan yesterday afternoon before a large gathering. Colonel Jack Hurley, Russie’s man- ager, did not arrive with LeRoy yes- terday, sending word with his protege that business had called him to Chi- cago. Howard Dodds, Dawson welter who administered a slugging to Soldier Parks here March 1 and who will attempt to repeat that tonight, ar- rived in the city this morning. All other fighters on the card are resting today, being in the “pink.” Emil St. Godard _Wins Fifth Derby ‘The Pas, Man., March 7.—()—Emil St. Godard, youthful musher, was re- covering today from a battle through blizzard to win the Pas Dog Derby. St. Godard stumbled across the fin- ish line at 11:09 p. m. last night, com- pleting the 200-mile non-stop mush to Flin Flow and return in 36 hours and 59 minutes. Earl Byrdges was second, three minutes behind St. Godard. Gabriel Campbell was third, finishing at 11:54. St. Godard has won the Pas Dog Derby each year since 1925 but this was his first victory over the 200- mile course. His team was six north- ern huskies. When he finished he carried-one-of the dogs on the sled.

(PHOG) ALLEN (President, National Basketball Coaches Association) Some will insist that outstanding players do not make outstanding weighed more than two hundred pounds. ie It was a tic ball. The referee was the only official in the game. Just as the referee tossed the ball in the air, Page's quick wit stood him in good stead, for he literally ran up the frame of his opponent much as a fireman would run up a ladder. With one foot on the knee and the other near his opponent's groin, he put one hand on his opponent's chest and with his free hand tipped the ball in the desired direction. ‘The husky opponent was completely taken by surprise and protested loud- ly to the referee, but to no avail. The referee had followed the ball in its ascent and had failed to watch the crafty player. coaches. Certainly, this does not ting true in basketball. Eddie McNichol of Pennsylvania, Howard Orther of Cornell, Dr. H. C.

P. “Husky” Hunt of Leland Stanford, are only a few of the coaches who are now directing excellent cage teams’ and who were great players in their day. Perhaps the most colorful player that I have ever seen in action on the maple floor was H. O. “Pat” Page, the old Chicago flash.

The big fellow is held in such affection by his fellows it is possible they will be too enthusi- astic in trying to win for him. Among the fans at large Walter Johnson remains one of the great idols of the game, and the feeling ex- tends to the Washington players. Every one, of the 30 athletes wants to go out right now and die in a baseball way for “good old Berncy.” Is Watching Pitchers Manager Johnson himself is pay- ing strict attention to his pitchers. Of the even dozen pitchers on hand over half of the number are regard- I have seen Lonborg, now of North- western, formerly of Kansas, often hold as many as three rushing offen- sive men at bay until momentary help could arrive. He was a great scoring threat. Craig Ruby, just after the world war and in the days when Missouri was winning Missouri Valley basket- ball championships, was Missouri's ace. Charley Black, now of Nebraska, could play any position in basketball with equal dexterity. He was crafty, shifty, versatile, and the, coolest man under fire that it has been my priv- ilege to see in action. The greatest basketball players of former days dominate the basketball coaching game of today. MARYLAND HAS NO CAPTAIN Maryland is another school that follows the no-captain idea in foot- ball. One player acts as captain cach game. MUST LIKE TO TRAVEL Jimmy Zinn lives in Little Rock, Ark., and went to Cleveland, O., to travel with the Indians to New Or- leans, He made it a business trip. As a player, Page was always doing the unexpected. One instance I enumerate: Being of short and stocky build, Page had small opportunity to get the tip-off on held or tie balls. So he used his ingenuity. In 1903 in a game in which I was @ member of Page's opposing team. Page pulled a crafty play that will forever enrich my memories. This was long before, the time of “the hand at the back rule” or the present rule which requires the two players to jump in any imaginary four-foot circle. In this case, Pat's opponent was well over six feet in height and A merry battle may be fought among the rest. Bob Burke, a tall but very thin left-hander, who was on the club last year, needs more weight; and Jim Weaver, six and one- half inches over six feet and scaling 230 pounds, has too much. Weaver | apparently needs schooling in field- ing. He is so big he has difficulty in coordinating his hands and feet. .

Losses by graduation will be so slight in most cases that the teams will retain a powerful nucleus of vet- erans around which to build their 1930 aggregations. Ohio State, one of the most dan- gerous teams in the 1929 race, stands out as the team with the brightest prospects as it loses but one veteran, George Van Heyde, the high scoring center; Ervin, Evans and Hinchman, forwards, and Fesler and Larkins, guards, year’s experience behind them, they should form a hard combination to stop. Michigan Loses Guards Michigan, which already has as- sured itself a tie for this year's title, will have to develop a pair of guards to replace Captain Ernie McCoy and Danny Rose, but Coach George Veen- ker has a great crop of freshman tossers and some good left-over re- serves. Orwig and Truskowski, for- wards and Chapman, center, are the returning veterans.’ Wisconsin loses two regulars, Elmer Tenhopen, center, and Ray Ellerman, guard, but Coach Walter Meanwell, too, has a great reserve supply and should fill those holes handily.
