With only one minute to go John Spriggs crept up on Lester Jarvis, visitor guard who is a past master at the art of stalling. Taken unawares, Jarvis let the ball fly out of the court in the ensuing feinting. Harold Tait took the ball out of bounds and made a quick pass to Spriggs under the bas- ket. Spriggs dropped the ball through in a difficult shot and Bis- marck high school’s cagers defeated Valley City’s state champions 15 to 14 last night in one of the most ex- citing contests witnessed on a Capi- tal City court. The lead had changed hends six times in 32 minutes of bas- ketballing, which was exceptionally clean cut for this early stage in the season. Had Roy D. McLeod’s Demons been more accurate in their tosses at the hoop in the first half, they might have won the game by a larger mar- gin.. But they were playing five vet- erans from last year's state champion- ship squad, coached by Claude Mill- er, and, excusably to a certain extent, a bit over-eager. The former Bison star's proteges took advantage of practically every opportunity to score, particularly at the beginning of the second half. Overcome 5-Point Lead ‘To win last night's game, Bismarck was forced to come from five points behind, a task which was done well but unexpected by many Demon en- thusiasts. Aftcr floundering about more or less aimlessly in ing many good pa portunities, Harold Tait, Capital City center, came into his own late in the third quarter and supplied the win- ning punch to his team. His sudden reversal of form and two field goals in the pinch gave the Demons new be PP Bicnarck had left the floor with a 6 to 5 advantage at the half. But Valley City came back with a spurt | 4- an-11 to 6 lead for themselves. With their great stalling game beginning in the Demon section. But Tait “came to” at this point. Jumping ball under the basket, he fore the canto ended, Frank Smith, cool forward, dropped in a difficult shot from the side of the court. At the opening of the fourth quarter, ‘Tait found his eye for another and the Demons were leading 12 to 11. Earl Hoffman slipped a gift shot through to increase the advantage to 13 to 11. At this point, Jarvis, who » had left the contest, returned and he almost immediately tied the count » With a beautiful long shot. Robert > Nugent gave Valley City a 14 to 13 * lead with a free throw, his third in as chances, and things again * looked dark for the home clan as the Hiliners brought their stalling game into play. But Spriggs and Tait pull- ed their little act to save the evening. Visitors Were Outplayed Bismarck outplayed Valley City on the floor practically throughout but the Hiliners were better equipped to " take advantage of their opportunities. ‘The victors, especially in the first * half, took many more chances at the basket which should have been made than did the Barnes county crew. Both teams were raggy and fast, and local fans saw two of the best teams in the state, both of which will have es to be considered when championship ~ honors are passed out, in action last night.

Hettinger Plans Counties Included In Terri- tory Represented Tribune Special Service) Hettinger, N. D., Jan. 11.—Hetting- er will play host Feb. 21 and 22 to the first basketball tournament held in this section of the state. The meet will be conducted under Official sanction of the Central States Amateur Independent basketball as- sociati ‘fon. Called off last year after being) tentatively scheduled because of conflicting events, local officials are going ahead with their plans this year with the expectation of making a successful event of the tournament. The national basketball associa- tion, which governs the disivion of districts in their ociation, has chosen Hettinger the logical center for a tournament and has placed the counties of Bowman, Slope, Hettinger, Adams, Golden Valley, and Billings, in North Dakota and Perkins, Harding | kota in the Hettinger district.

At the present time it is the in- tention of the managers of the tournament to limit ‘the entries to eight teams in order not to make the tournament a drawn out affair. This would make it necessary for the games to be played on Friday night, Saturday afternoon and eve- ning with each team in the running for a place playing three games, —__ A il i LG again.

Winning a four-round technical knockout from Spohrer here last night for his fourth victory in five starts, the White Sox first baseman was dissatisfied. “I didn’t want Al Spohrer.

Trust Fund Abolished Today’s statement was taken to indicate Iowa’s athletic officials had capitulated to the views of the Big Ten faculty committee. They had re- quested the conference to send its investigating committee here to see if “essential justice” did not war- rant reinstatement of the athletes. The investigating committee com- P its hearing here last night without hearing the individual pleas of the ousted 11 men, and its chair- man, Professor Thomas E. French, of Ohio state, said it would report its findings to the conference fac- ulty committee “which alone has Power to act.” Professor French did not divulge what the report would be and said he did not know exactly when i would be submitted or considered. Neither he nor the other committee members, W. J. Moenkhause of In- F. A. Pyre, of Wis- consin, would conjecture as to the possible result of their report. They emphasized, however, that they had power only to report, not to recom- or act.
