10 THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, JANUARY 17,198). Demons TAIT MAKES POINT AFTER FINAL GUN AND KNOTS SCORE i Capital City Quint Makes Four Counters in Overtime Period to Braves’ Two LARGE CROWD SEES GAME) Papooses Nose Out Bismarck Imps 16-15; Percy High Scorer in Preliminary Bismarck’s high school basketball | téam played an overtime period after a great uphill battle in the second | half Friday night to defeat Mandan, ) 24-22, } It was the closest Mandan-Bis- marck game since 1926 and one of the most thrilling ever played between the two teams. Incidentally it enabled Bismarck to dedicate the city’s big new memorial building with a victory for the home team. How close the margin of victory was is shown by the fact that Mandan was ahead, 20-19, when the final gun barked. The Braves took an early jead and were never headed during the regular period except for a brief | time in the fourth quarter when Bis- marck went into the lead by a 17-15 count. As the final gun barked, however, the visitors had fought back into the | lead with a one-point margin. But just before the timer called it a night, Harold Tait, Bismarck cen- ter, was fouled by Dietrich, Mandan guard. | Tait was entitled to a try for a charity point which might send the game into overtime. Many spectators, thinking Mandan had won, crowded onto the floor and proceedings were delayed until they were sent back to their seats. Tait Ties Score Tait brought joy to the hearts of Bismarck supporters by dumping the ball through the hoop. He made only one point in six previous free tries but it was his point in the pinch which gave Bismarck an opportunity to bring home the bacon. The score was tied at 20-all. The three-minute overtime session was enough. Tait scored a field goal which House duplicated for Mandan with a sensational shot from near the | 3 Agre, who had | 4 center of the floor. been wild in tosses at the basket all evening then cashed in on a neat un- der-basket shot to give Bismarck it’s final margin. Bismarck trailed Mandan 3-8 in| the first quarter. At halftime the Braves had doubled the Demons score of sever points. In the third quarter the Demons allowed their epponents only one point and raised their count to 15-all. With only three | minutes remaining of the fourth per- iod the Capital City quint raised their total to 19 while the Mandan team | raised their total to 20. A melee in the center of the floor gave Bismarck | its gift shot a fraction of a second be- | fore the final gun. | Demons Offense Is Good | The Demons showed a clever of-| fensive that worked the ball up to! their basket time after time, but they | were unable to make many of their attempts good. Out of 12 free throws the Demons managed to make only two, including Tait’s life saver. The | Mandan quint had a better shooting average. Of 13 free attempts, the! Braves made six. | Tait, Demon guard, used his height to good advantage, he managed to get the tip-off the majority of the time, and in addition he held the high scoring honors of the game with | a total of 14 points. His closest rival | was Boehm, Mandan forward who had 10 points to his credit. Dohn, Demon guard, showed some } clever floorwork, he managed to keep | Boehm's scores down to the 10 points while he made field goals. In all Previous contests Boehm has aver-/ aged 17 points. ! The two teams presented similar offensive formations, and before the battle was finished both squads had | resorted to a man-to-man defense. Demons Miss Frequently ‘The Demons should have won the game. They had more good chances to score. The Braves put up a hard battle throughout. The game was fiercely fought, but clean. The floor was slippery and there were a number of falls. Near the end of the game, Sterling Byerly, Mandan, was hurt. The muscles in his leg cramped, and he was unable to move his leg. In the preliminary game the Bis- marck Imps were defeated 16-15 by the Mandan Papooses. The Papooses led yntil the last quarter. The Imps were behind 6-1 at the end of the first quarter, 13-3 at halftime, and 15-8 at the close of the third quarter. Staging a final-quarter rally the Imps drove their count from 8-15 to 12-15 before the Papooses scored again. In a few hurried passes from across the court the count jumped from 16-12 to 16-15. “The Demons will meet Fargo high school's cage team at the Memorial building Friday, Jan. 23 in the sec- Fights Last Night” (Ry the Annociated Presa) Zealand jarty » Washington, D.

Wilfred (Wiffy) Cox, professional from the Dyker beach municipal course, Brooklyn, N. Y., was a stroke to the good over his closest compe- titor. His third round of 69, three under par, put him in.front Friday, and the score established a new competitive | mark for the hazard-strewn par-72 | layeut. Rounds of 75 and 74 on the | previous 36 holes made his total 218 ; and allowed him to pass Johnny | Golden, sturdy. Noroton, Conn., pro- fessional. Johnny led at the end of. the first and second rounds, but he slumped badly Friday with a 76, after shooting 70 and 73 on the previous tours, giv- ing him 219 for second place.

Three were tied for third as they went into the final round. They were Ed Dudley, winner of the Los An- geles $10,000 open, from Wilmington, Del., who had a 76 for 220; Horton Smith, smiling Missourian from New York; and Clarence Clark, Tulsa, Ok- lahoma’s tall blond professional. Sarazen and three others followed; next in line, four strokes behind Cox. Gene's associates at this mark were Mortie Dutra, Long Beach, Calif.; George Von Elm, Los Angeles, 1930 Jow amateur of the tournament; and another former amateur, Ralph Guldah!, Dallas, Tex. Their totals were 229. Bismarck Church Five Beats Menoken, 43-14 The Bismarck Evangelical cage squad defeated the Menoken basket- bail quint 43-14 Friday night in an uninteresting contest.

OUR BOARDING HOU By Ahern a WHERE DOES YouR OWL'S CLUB MEET ~ IN SOME BOX-CAR, OR Do Nou ALL HoLD A WEEKLY RE-UNION ENERY SATURDAY re Fr pr| at 6 By (Basketball Coach, Indiana U.) If the proposed rule change of abolishing the center jump should be passed there would be no need for center plays. At present, however. center plays have a two-fold use. Some teams play for possession of the ball at center jump while others sure of the jump use a@ set of fast breaking plays from center ring. Play for possession at center jump is most. commonly used now. After getting the ball it is passed or batted back to the guards where theg put it in play by slowly advancing 1¢e ball up to the set defense. The diagram shows a good formation for possession. If a team has a very tall center, it should have some established center plays. Baskets scored from center jump are very demoralizing to the op- ponents because it is done 50 easily. Center plays should be simple and few in number. They should be of the same type as other offensive plays and should be well balanced as to of- fense and defense. The more plays, the more signals! One player gives the real signal while the other players fake signals in order to cover up the real ones, They should be simple, easily recognized and given in a very unconcerned manner, Gusties Win 33-27 Tilt From St. Olaf St. Peter Cagers Jump to Lead | in Minnesota Loop After Northfield Game St. Paul, Jan. 17.—()—The second | | elimination game in two days will be | played Saturday night as Augsburg college, Minneapolis, and Macalester j college, St. Paul, clash in a Minne- sota conference tilt on the Mac floor. Augsburg tops the list with two victories and no defeats and Macal- ester and Gustavus are in first place with one victory each.

I Jove to play football. My college career would have been incomplete without the hard. mental and physical train- ing I got on the gridiron. Oh, I was tired when I came home from a hard day at practice_or after a stiff game. But a good meal, a good shower, and my mind was clearer. Studying was easier and I got more out of what I studied. Likes to Win “The hard knocks you get in the game are more than compensated for in the satisfaction of winning—or even of putting up a hard losing battle." Fesler admitted he hadn't thought a great deal about the commercial em- | phasis placed on the game. So far as he knew, that phase of the issue never got as far as the locker rooms or the practice field. “we never thought about whether winning or losing would bring in more or less money at the gate,” he said. “That wasn’t what we were there for.. We were playing for Ohio | State—to win if we could. but if we lost, we knew it wasn't because we didn’t try; maybe we didn’t get the breaks; maybe the other ‘team did; anyway we did our best.” Wes doesn’t recall any one game that meant more to him than any other. But he admitted with & broad grin, “that game we took from Pitt last fall was a peach. Maybe it was sweet revenge. I guess I did feel a little that way about it. But then, Pitt has a big name, and I got a kick out of licking them.” Team Work Counts Fesler doesn't believe that a subsi- success on a college team. “He's too much for himself and not enough for the team,” he said. “It's team-work that counts,” Fes- Jer went on. “One man can’t make & football team any more than he can make an army or @ big corporation or anything else that requires cooper- ation.” Summing up, Wes said, football is @ character builder, a body builder and a mind builder. “You've got to think and act fast to stay in football,” he said. “Not only that, you've got take the bumps, and take them hard some- | times. That means stiff training, and stiff training brings tough muscles. As for the mental side: A flash of & second may mean @ touchdown for the other side. You don’t have time to stop and with yourself about this or that. You've got to make up your mind, and thén do what you've decided to do. All before you can bat an eye.” Pirate Players Claim Tonsils as New Alibi Pittsburg, Jan. 17.—(?)—The Pitts- burgh Pirates think the reason they didn’t finish higher in the National league race last season was because their tonsils. were not so good. And if they’re right, the boys point out, they should be one of the healthiest teams in the land this year.
