THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 23, 1931 Bismarck High School Cagers Ready for Battle With Fargo Team DEMON SQUAD A SQUAD HOPES TO SCORE CONQUEST OVER MIDGET QUINT Capital City Basketeers Polish Up Defensive Machinery for Friday Battle | HEBRON FIVE TO MEET IMPS Biggest Basketball Crowd in Bismarck History Expected to Attend Contest Bismarck’s Demon cagers are ready for their first battle this season against the powerful Fargo Midgets. When the referee blows his whistle at 8:15 Friday night, two tense, well- trained, and ambitious cage squads will clash in Bismarck’s World war memorial building in the hardest bat- tle each has experienced so far this season, Spoils of previous practice sessions are just around the corner. The De- mons have stressed their defense to stop the accurate and versatile Fargo scoring machine. The Midget quint have polished their offensive forma- tions. Both squads realize the game will be a fierce tussle. The Bismarck high school squad last year was crowned state high school basketball cham- pions. They are determined to win. Drama and comedy will invade the Friday night tilt. Fargo’s team com- prises the rangiest in the state. Their gargantuan six-foot-five-inch center, CHARLES Die ¢ Amosy. EMINENT “in, swelling the normal. Rasmussen, is another Meinhover. Bismarck has a fit running mate for Rasmussen in little Eddie Agre. Eddie is the smallest man in the Demon lineup. Eddie lacks a bare 10 inches of being as tall as the Fargo center, but what he lacks in height he adds in speed and clever ball-handling. Coach George “Baldy” Hays will start Captain Johnny Spriggs and Eddie Agre at forwards. Harold Tait at center, and Lester Dohn and Wade Green at guards. It is assumed Fargo's startirfg lineup will include Fisher and * Olson at forwards, Rasmussen at cen- ter, and Aamoth and Charbonneau at guards. Hays is bothered with his alternate forwards. Finnegan is ineligible for competition in Friday night’s battle. George Allen, Hays’ other Demon forward, will be out of the game. Allen has had a fever since Tuesday. Basketball fans throughout the state will watch the contest in the me- morial building with bated breath. A large crowd is assured. More fans are expected for the Fargo tilt than at any previous game in Bismarck. A bigger group of spectators will be pres- ent than were present at the Demon- Brave tilt. More tickets were sold up to Friday noon than for any basket- ball contest in the past. Bismarck’s Imps will clash with the Hebron Brickmakers in the prelim- inary game that is scheduled to start at 7:15 p.m. The Hebron quint ran up 27 points against the Mandan Braves’ 45 points in an early season tilt. They should prove tough compe- tition to the Imp squad. Bismarck Comets Trim Steele 42-33 Black Shirts Lead Throughout}it. Game; Bryant Bags 20 Points in Tilt Leading throughout the game the Bismarck Comets defeated the Steele Lions Wednesday 42-33. The Black Shirts gained their lead early in the first quarter to end the first period 8-4. They raised their count to 25-9 at halftime. Steele’s quint, attempting a come- back in the last part of the third quarter brought their total to 28, but the Comets garnered nine points to continue their lead with a third quarter count of 34-28, Because of the small gymnasium fouls were numerous and the play was rough. Herr and Hedstrom were outstanding for the Black Shirts al- though Bryant won scoring honors with 20 poins. Spizer, Steele forward, and Simle, Comet captain, were tied for second in scoring honors with 15 points each. The summary: o 3 Bryant, c . Hedstrom, err, & Doyle, & manor el Pesconcl sl Totals.

This, more than all the efforts of subsidizing, large gate receipts and specialization, will, in Duffield’s opin- ion, send football to an ultimate fall unless a halt is called. Approached By Gamblers “Players are approached by friends, fraternity brothers, alumni, outsid- ers,” said Marshall. “They all ask the same question. ‘How will the game come out, I want to put'my dough on “Betting has increased to large Proportions since I started,out as a sophomore, and while I have never heard of a player being bought off, gambling puts a fellow in a comprom- ising position. “If you make a mistake which costs the game—and all of us make a lot of mistakes—you get panned for it just as though it could have been helped. After all, most of the play- ers are just youngsters playing the game because thew like it.

Then he plans to con- tinue his studies at Harvard. So far as the game itself goes, Duf- | field firmly believes that psychology Jeads all other elements in accounting for victories. “Taking our one-sided victories over Stanford and California last Season. It was the first time in many years that S.C. had beaten these traditional rivals in the same year. ‘Bawlink Like Kids’ “We went into the Stanford game bawling like a bunch of kids. Coach Howard Jones had us keyed up to the highest pitch and after we got the jump on them we knew they couldn't win. They knew it also and that’s why the score was 41 to 12. The 74 to 0 victory over California was the same thing. “With Notre Dame it was different. The same keen rivalry of the Cali- fornia and Stanford games was ab- sent. All Coach Jones could say to it was that Notre Dame had a great team; that the players were smart, and that Coach Knute Rockne was a | good coach and a great sportsman. “We couldn't get fired up about it, with the betting odds in our favor and no sentiment back of the contest. Then when Notre Dame got that first break we just folded up. If it had been Stanford or California it would have been different. “While I think the breaks of the| game make a lot of difference, it seems to me that the psychological aspect overshadows this.” It is estimated 5,000 men have been kept on St. Louis payrolls this winter through employers’ cooperation with relief agencies. Concordia Awaits Moorhead Cagers Hope to Win Opening Tussle in Minne- sota Conference St. Paul, Jan. 23.—(?)—Believed to have the best basketball team in his- (tory of the institution, Concordia col- | lege fans Friday were waiting for the invasion of Augsburg college, one of the two undefeated teams in the Minnesota college conference. A few years ago Concordia lost the Minnesota conference title by a one- point defeat by St. John’s in the final game of the season. Augsburg has four victories to its credit but has not met a team as strong as the Cobbers. They have de- feated St. Thomas, St. John’s, Ma- calester and Hamline, the tilt with the Mackmen being the hardest. There are two other games in St. Paul Saturday night. One will bring St. Thomas and Macalester together, and a defeat for either team will | eliminate it from championship con- sideration. St. John’s and Hamline, already out of the race, will seek their first victory on the Piper's court.

Chicago, Jan. 23.—(#)—Goldie Hess, blond freckle-faced youngster from Los Angeles, will have a chance to win the world’s junior welterweight championship Friday night when he engages Jack “Kid” Berg, spectacular British holder of the 140-pound championship, in a ten-round bat- tle. Hess and Berg share the headline role on the Chicago Stadium card with Bat Battalino, world’s feather- weight champion, who is meeting Ed- die Shea, rugged Chicago contender. Both contests are scheduled for ten rounds, but the featherweight battle is a non-championship affair as Shea agreed to weigh in above the c.ass limit of 126-poun Berg recently returned to America from London and has not been at the wars since defeating Billy Petrolle in New York last October. However, the popular little English ‘boxer probably will enter the ring a prohibitive fav- orite, as he is generally conceded to carry too many guns for Hess. Battalino will be engaging sin his first. contest since he defeated Kid Chocolate in @ 15 round bout in de- fense of his title in New York last month. Shea, always a menacing contender in the featherweight div:- sion, jumped to the top rank of chal- lengers when he scored an upset vic- tory over Fidel La Barba in Cleve- land last December.

Chicago's Blackhawks came through with a great last-period scor- ing rally to beat Philadelphia, 5 to 2. The leading Montreal Canadiens trounced Ottawa, 3 to 0. Toronto's Maple Leafs took second place by beating the Montreal Maroons, 4 to2.

Fort Myers, Fla., Jan. 23—(%)— Jimmy Foxx believes the Philadel- phia, Athletics are going to win an- other pennant this year. “If things go well, it looks like an- other pennant for the A’s,” the slug- ging first baseman sald today, “but it’s going to be a harder job than we had last year. “Joe McCarthy can get all there is out of New York; Cleveland and De- troit have a lot of good stuff in pros- pect, and Washington has been on the upgrade for a year.” Connie Mack will have 18 Rookie “George Earnshaw and Lefty Grove can still twirl them when twirling is necessary,” he assured a questioner.

Offenses designed to meet zone de- zone, also in and out to players who have penetrated the defense, tends to draw the defensive men out of po- sition, thus leaving open some player for a good shot. The accot diagram represents the formation. Keeping the ball moving is also effective against the man-to-man and other defenses because of danger of defensive men getting off balance in covering their assigned man. The guard may rush to intercept a pass or prevent a deliberate shot and thus find himself in, a bad defensive po- Reiselt band Thurnblad Have Twe Victories; Layton Holds Third Place Chicago, Jan. 23.—(?)—Allen Hall of Chicago, the outstanding challenger of the dark horse brigade, Friday held a technical advantage in the closes fight for the world’s three-cushion billiard championship. The Chicago star had three straight * victories and no defeats to his credit, while his closest rivals—Arthur Thurnblad, another Chicagoan, and the veteran Otta Reiselt of Philadel- phia—had perfect records with two triumphs each. Johnny Layton of Se- dalia, Mo., the defending champion, stood in a tie for fourth position with Tiff Denton of Kansas City, each having one victory and one defeat. While Layton was defeated in his first match by Frank Scoville of Buf- falo Monday night, he proved he still is the man to beat for the title by trimming Charles E. Jordan of Los Angeles in his second start Thursday night, 50 to 25 in 36 innings. Hall polished off his third opponent, Scoville 50 to 27 in 38 innings Thurs- day. Reiselt also turned in a fine ex- hibition to defeat Dave Jacobs of St. Louis, southern champion, 50 to 36 in 82 innings Thursday. ELECT SUPERIOR CURLER Virginia, Minn., Jan. 23.—(}—Al- len W.
