D., quint today at the national high school basketball tour- nament at the University of Chicago. It was the astonishing showing made by their foremost player, Cap- tain Vivian McKay, center. Had Mc- . Kay been two instead of one, Valley City would not have dropped their second game of the tournament yes- terday. when they bowed to Brock- ton, Mass., 42 to 21, in their second consolation clash. Score 19 Points McKay scored 19 of those points chalked up by Valley City—eight field goals and threc free throws. Nugent. forward, found the basket for the Da- kota team's only other points. McKay was one of the outstanding performers of the game yesterday, as he was when his team lost their championship tournament game to Lakeland. Fla., and won the first con- solation tilt from Independence, Mo. Valley City snared a slender lead soon after the whistle opened play when McKay sank a field goal but Semino knotted the count a moment later, touching off the eastern team's speedy and deadly shooting that kept them out in front from then on. Brockton Stretches Lead Krock followed Semino’s two points with a free throw and Almquist found the hoop for two more. Brockton Jed, 5 to 2, at the quarter. The score at the half was 19 to 6 and 27 to 14 as the fourth quarter opened. Mc- Kay kept plugging away for Valley City and when the gun sounded, he had marked up his own team’s score virtually single handed. ‘The lineup: Brockton ead be] a. | Conover noo’s Henan nant Hallamore.

Eight teams from three sections of the country were still in the race for the national title at the University of Chicago, but six of them were from below the Mason and Dixon line. The midwest had only one entry, in Jack- son, Mich., while the west was repre- sented by Joes, Colo.—the team that yesterday showed how a novice team could defeat an outfit of veterans. Somebody Must Lose Because somebody must lose when- ever somebody wins, one of the south- rn teams is certain to be put out of the running today as Athens, Tex., and Colleg: Grove, Tenn., clash Warren, Ark., a dark horse, encoun- ters Classen of Oklahoma City, con- ueror of Ashland, Ky., the national nt . ckson, Mich. and ‘Wheeler, Miss., meet in the upper bracket, and Jena, La. and Joes, Colo., in the lower bracket. Yesterday's play saw the passing of the national champions and Vienna, Ga., favorites to enter the finals with crush the Kentuckians’ hopes of re- Peating. Joes, a colorful group of basket- shooters from a farming community northeastern Colorado, put in a claim for the title by exhibiting a brand of basketball that had Yank- ton, 8.

In the same ring in which he won his title three years ago Morgan pounded out a distinct victory last night but there was no knockdown in the 10 rounds. The bout opened at a fast pace and Morgan soon had a cut under his left leye. The champion used his left to advantage up to the fifth round while the challenger succeeded in putting over an occasional punch, using each mitt about equally. Clinches were frequent. There was a furious exchange in the seventh, Zorilla beating a tattoo on the champion’s body in the clinches and managing te keep blood dripping from the cut on Morgan’s eye. During the close mixing in the ninth the champion suddenly doubled up as if in great pain. He paused a moment, warning the challenger against hitting low, and then con- tinued. A fast exchange in the tenth ended the bout. South Dakota N.B. A.

BASEBALI. | BLAKE WINS SHUTOUT Houston, Texas, April 5.—(#)—Sher- iff Blake has convinced Manager Joe McCarthy he is ready for his share of hurling in the Cubs’ campaign for the Natonal League pennant. Blake pitched seven innings against Hous- ton yesterday and allowed four hits. The Cubs won, 10 to 0. Having his St. Paul opponent on the verge of a knockout several times, Lee Cavanagh, Bismarck welter- weight, won all 10 rounds of a head- liner fight from Joe Young at Oakes last night. This statement was made this morning by Isham “Tex” Hall over the telephone from Oakes. Hall is Cavanagh’s manager. Bobby Baker, stablemate of Cava- nagh, won from Eddie “Kid” Bow- man, Edgeley, on a technical knock- out in the seventh of an eight-round semi-windup, Hall said. Bowman put up a game fight but could not take the punishment Baker had to offer. Tony Brown, third Bismarck scrap- per appearing on the card, fought a@ four-round draw with a mystery ‘fighter from Aberdeen, S. Dak., the message indicated. Young had little chance with the Bismarck welterweight, Hall said, continually running into Cavanagh’s stiff right.
