Cook Champ of Champs Paul Cook, Bismarck’s 19-year-old n of the golf links, swept the state summer as no other golfer ever done before. He won titular and st honors in the seven tourna- in which he took part and fill- vec his trophy cabinet with a wealth of golf prizes. The tournaments in| Mich he competed follow: Western | *North Dakota and Eastern Montana, | Dickinson; Northwestern North Da- kota, Williston; Missouri Slope, Bis- é ; Mandan first annual meet, in; state amateur, Devils Lake; 3 Bhs if ‘ i a f fa ¥ Lj i 3 -* | fief nons lost one game in 18 and with; | the state championship to Valley} school | basketball | TH: The scene of one of football's great classics is the Rose Bowl, above, in Pasadena, Calif., where the annual Tourna- ment of Roses game is played each New Year's Day. The four men will figure prominently in the day's action, | a score made it a regular practice to compete in tournaments both here and outside of the city. Independent Game Leaped Outside of high school circles, in- terest in basketball took a great leap during the year. The Bismarck Phantoms came out with another strong independent team, which fi- nally was beaten for the Missouri championship by the Barneck also of Bismarck. St. | Mary's high school also had another creditable organization in the field. | This year found a commercial league geting its start, with six teams in the fold and two rounds of the schedule already completed. Teams in the commercial loop are the Chryslers, North Dakota Power and Light, Armour's creamery, Pres- byterians, Co. A of the National Guard, and the A. O. U. W. Though boxing fans were not par- | ticularly enthusiastic here during the year, several ring events of impor- tance took place. Probably the most important was the rapid rise of Boomer Brooker, who comes from Mandan, but who came to the fore largely through Bismarck promotion. He won the state featherweight | | by beating Bobby Laurent, Minot, on | a Mandan card and now is at Duluth, Minn., a promising member of the Silver Spray stables of Colonel Jack Hurley and Phil Terk. Another no- table event was the comeback of Jack McCann, Bismarck’s own heavyweight who has such a striking resemblance to Jack Dempsey. McCann now is in Minneapolis cashing in on his new lease on life and boesting recent vi josed | tories by knockout over Tim Derry, ‘giant Irishman, and Man Mountain Erickson, Chicago behemoth. Among the most important fights the year were the Lee Cavanagh- Irussie LeRoy, Lee Cavanagh-Al Van and Jack McCann-Tony Brown The last year brought _ thi ractical retirement of Jackie Grey, clever featherweight, and the rise oi Billy Meek, flyweight. Bismarck, with the possible exception of Grand Forks, staged more fight cards than any other North Dakota city. Horse race lovers enjoyed watching the largest and greatest array of rac- ing horses the state has ever seen at the Bismarck Fair last June. Mrs. C. K. Bryan was responsible for the greatest field North Dakota has ever had at any meet stopping here. Her- self a driver of considerable expe- rience, she was well-known to sulky riders and attracted many here by her personality. More than that, they came for training purposes. Pacing Record Falls Chief among the horse racing events at the fair was the establish- ment of a new record for the mile on the local track. In the 2:13 pace, Billie Mac, owned by Ben Morgan, Toledo, Ie., set a mark for others to shoot at by covering the distance in 2 minutes 9% seconds Two new rec- fl i i ql 5 Upper left is Dr. J.

Big Tom Parkinson, Pitt fullback, lower right, will furnish the acid test to Southern California's front line defense. In the lower Fort Lincoln, Grove Giants (state penitentiary), and the American Le- {gion juniors. None of the teams had @ spotless record though all were en- couragingly active during the season. The juniors, after a city series and then district series, won the cham- pionship of the southwestern district in the state and the right to be one of the four teams in the state tour- nament during the annual American Legion state convention at Minot. The Bismarck club, however, lost to Fargo in the final game. Fargo subse- quently defeated the South Dakota champions but was eliminated in the regional tournament at the Twin Cities. Kittenball, excited to a healthy pitch by the interest in the sport of two state officials. Secretary of State Robert Byrne and Attorney General Jim Morris, enjoyed a fair campaign and at least had the pleasure of city league play. Both ice and roller skating were given added impetus. An ice skating rink was built and operated by the city at the city athletic field with hundreds taking advantage of the in- stitution with daily and occasional indulgence in the sport. The rink again is in full swing this year. Roll- er skating was revived with the con- struction of the Dome amusement pavilion, midway between Bismarck and Mandan. Hockey Attempt Feeble Ice hockey made a feeble attempt to get started last winter and may gather more impetus this year. A city team, led by William “Bill” Ank- enmann, played several games with \Fort Lincoln last winter. |" Bowling, in hibernation last winter, late this fall was given a good start when a city bowling league was reor- ganized with four teams competing. The teams are the A. O. U. W., Bridgeman-Russell creamery, Capital City Bottling Works, and the Bis- 'marek Grocery. | ‘during the season was the appear- jance here on a barnstorming tour of Johnny Layton and Willie Hoppe, two Layton defeated Hoppe in a three- cushion exhibition match. ‘A new record was set last May in the annual E.

Girls’ Interest Increases High school girls took a new lease on their athletic lives at the begin- ning of the present school year with a comprehensive program formed for the girl's athletic association. Mem- bership in the association is given for points scored according to a sys- tem in various branches of sport. Outdoor hockey was the popular branch during the fall. Boy soldiers at Fort Lincoln's Citizens Military Training Camp en- Joyed their usual program of sports, including tennis, track and field events, swimming tournament, basc- ball, kittenball, boxing, wrestling, volley ball and several other branches. Football Stars in Denver End Drills For Charity Game Nodak Mentor Jack West Plans to Start McMillan, McGrath and Aus Smith Denver, Colo., Dec. 31.—(4)—Signal and blackboard drills were on today’s final practice programs for the all- star football teams of the Rocky Mountain and North Central confer- ences, who clash tomorrow in a char- ity game sponsored by the Denver lodge of Elks. Coaches of both squads expressed satisfaction with the progress made during the past week. ‘The makeup of the Rocky Moun- tain starting lineup will be largely from the Utah schools, the University of Utah, Utah State and Brigham | Billards’ only claim to recognition) Young university. Four members of the Utah university championship eleven will start. They are Olson, guard; Davis, quarterback; Simkins, internationally-famous _cuelsts. | tackl start said today. MacMillan, captain of the Univer- sity of North Dakota, is slated to start at center for the North Central outfit. MacMillan has been ill for a few days, but Jack West, head coach, said todey the star would be ready by tomorrow. McGrath, another of Coach West's stronger linesmen, will be in at a tackle berth. Austin Smith of North Dakota will be at the other tackle. ‘There may be one or two shifts in the lineup planned last week, West said, ,| but these have not been definitely de- 2-2.

NEWLAND Pasadena, Calif, Dec. 31—(%)— College football's capital, shifted to the far southwestern section of the country, hummed with activity today as the undefeated Pittsburgh Panth- ers and Southern California Trojans romped through final workouts pre- liminary to the intersectional classic that will bring these powerful eastern and western rivals together New Year's day. Not since 1924, when Stanford and Notre Dame shared the annual tour- nament of Roses Plum, has a forth- coming contest so caught the fancy of the football faithful. The Rose Bowl, seating about 70,000 persons, | has been sold out for weeks. Those who have followed the for- tunes of the two teams favor the Pitt squad that Coach Jock Sutherland turned loose on a touchdown crusade this year. Supporters of the south- ern California cause are legion, how- ever, and not a few close observers believe the Panthers’ hide will dangle from the Trojan spear late Wednes- day afternoon. Thirty-three strong, the Pittsburgh warriors reached the scene of com- bat yesterday and dug their cleats into the same turf where two years ago they lost to Stanford 7-6. Lighter than the Trojans, the Pitt boys nev- ertheless impressed onlookers with their thoroughness. Dash and pep is woven into every move of the in- vading touchdown-seekers. From the Pitt Panthers themselves came the word that the “climate” question would not enter into the game. Each team planned brisk work- outs today, Southern California in the morning and Pittsburgh in the after- noon, Probable lineups: Pittsburgh POS Southern Callf.

The Flickertails were forced to overcome a 14 to 8 lead gained by the Grizzlies during the first half. Most of the thrills and the good basketball took place in the second half when the score was tied four times and during which neither team had a lead of more than three points North Da- kota pulled the game out of the fire when Duchene, forward, tossed in a long one that knotted the count 22 all. Scarcely a minute of play remained when Captein Vic Brown pushed through the winning counter after Duchene and Gillson each had made attempts in a scramble under the basket. Duchene, sophomore star, who has been switched from guard to forward, led in the scoring with seven field goals and one free throw, and played @ sensational game on the floor. Bill Rohliffs, Grizzlie forward, led his team mates with three goals from the field and four straight free tosses. With him in the stellar role was Ranking, guard, who was forced from the contest in the second half with four personal fouls.
