4 4 Li Pores em Phantoms to Clash Wi th. Ellendale Quint - at Hig BASKETBALL FANS AWAIT DEMON: CAPITAL GY FVE TOTESTSTRENGTH IN. C. A. Abolishes Spring Field Meet OF COLLEGE QUINT Bismarck Independent Squad Pit Offensive Play Against Normal Team INVADERS ARE GIVEN EDGE to Southwestern Teachers Hold Good Chance of Winning Their Conference Title Whether Bismarck’s Phantom in- dependent cagers play a brand of ball comparable with a college quint will be demonstrated here Wednesday night at 8 o'clock when the Phantoms clash with the ‘Ellendale Dusties at the high school gymnasium. So far this season the Phantoms have a record of 10 victories and no defeats. The Ellendale quint is com- posed of tall rangy lads, who are adept ball-handlers, but whose court experience is not as large as the Phantoms. The Phantom quint was crowned last year as the Missouri Slope bas- ketball champions. This year the team is even better than it was last season, some fans say. The Dusties likewise are a real basketball threat on any court. In their first game against the Dickin- son quint, the Ellendale squad led 20-11 at halftime only to lose the tilt 28-25, when they attempted stalling tactics. The Dusties took revenge in their second battle with the Dickin- son Normal team and defeated them 57-30, Monday night the Ellendale quint trampled the Minot Beavers 50- 34. They out-played, out-shot and out-passed the Beaver quint through- out the game. Ellendale fans are booming the southwestern normal school for their conference title. They have cleaned up all of their opponents in the east- ern section of the state and may easily fulfill their supporters’ hopes. Neil O. Churchill, Phantom men-! tor, is a little pessimistic over the | game. He expects it to be a hard} tussle, and the overwhelming scores of the Dusty combination in their | previous games should favor them. Churchill intends to use Sch berg and Thornburg at forwards, Hays at center, and Heidt and Geston | at guards. Pete Verduin, Elmer Ben- ser, Austin Smith, and Earl Hoffman undoustedly will alternate in the lineup of Phantom team during the | game. The Phantom quint has spent it last few practices on offensive drill Churchill's men will attempt to de- feat the Ellendale squad with varied offense that should keep the Dusties guessing.

Jan, 21.—()— Bobby Dodd, for two years Dixie’s Outstanding quarterback, says mental stance paves the way for football vic- tories. “All this talk about smartness and psychology is good stuff, but it’s the; old frame of mind and poise that counts most,” he says. ! For three seasons Dodd has been the generalissimo of Tennessee's great football teams and almost unanimous choice for all-Southern quarterback in 1929 and 1930. “Psychology will beat you in the long run,”*he’ continued. “You can win with it sometimes, but in a tight place some other guy is going to ‘out- |psychologize’ you. Zt doesn’t pay to be too smart. You're riding for a fall when you get that way.” Bobby doesn't believe in’ following set rules in mapping out his attack, explaining, “I try to start out just like a boxer feeling out his opponent. I feint around with several plays, |keeping close note on how certain {plays go or fail to go.
