THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1981 WILDCATS DEFEAT MINNESOTA QUINT MONDAY, 45 7028 Gopher Squad in Second Place| With Seven Wins and Three Reverses i 12,000 WITNESS GAME Purdue and Michigan Tied for Third Place in Western Circuit Tilts Chicago, Feb, 24—(2)—The re- mainder of the western conference basketball looks like just a formality —after what Ni vestern did to Minnesota Monday night. North’ estern, needing any kind of championship, stepped out to win and made it as impressive as possible— 4% to 23 before more than 12,000 peo- ple. The Wildcats got away in front and improved their margin all the way. Northwestern Tuesday led the Big ‘Ten with nine victories and one de- feat, with Minnesota second, with seven victories and three reverses. Purdue hopped into a tie with Michi- gan for third place by defeating the Wolverines, 30 to 21, at Lafayette. ‘The Boilermaker victory squared ac- counts for the season, Michigan hav- ing won at Ann Arbor. Milinois’ rejuvenated outfit racked up its fifth straight triumph, maul- ing Indiana, 39 to 25, at Blooming- ‘ ton, to balance its season account to date. Wisconsin, outplayed on the floor, but exhibiting rare accuracy from the foul line, defeated Ohio State, 28 to 24, at Madison. The Badgers were outscored from the field, 10 goals to six, but canned 16 | charity shots to gain the edge. Minnesota's only chance of shar- ing in the title rests on Northwestern cropping its two remaining games, while the Gophers win both of theirs. Minnesota will play Purdue at Pur- “due Saturday, while Northwestern goes to Ohio State. Michigan play its return game at Wisconsin, and Indiana will meet Chicago at Chicago. .

Fri- day night they walloped the James- town college crew 41-24 to wind up their home campaign. Led by Fay Brown, former Bis- marck high school star and 1931 | Mayville college football captain, the Comets present a well-balanced team and are en route to Dickinson where tney will meet the Dickinson Sav- ages. It is assumed that Coach Lee, Mayville mentor, will use Teie and Whitlock at forwards, Hendrickson and Sorenson at center and Brown and Lourenz at guard. Although Fay Brown plays guard, he was tied with Tele at forward for high scoring honors in the Friday game. Each made five field goals. Neil O. Churchill, Phantom man- ager, will use George “Baldy” Hays at center, Thornburg and Schaum- berg at forwards, and Mike Geston and George Heidt at guards. ‘The game Friday will be the week’s ciimax for the Phantom jousts pre- liminary to the independent district tournament here. The Phantoms were to play the Cando Legionnaires here this week following the Mayville game. Because the Cando quint must play in their district tournament this week they were forced to cancel the game with the Bismarck Phantoms. ‘The contest Wednesday night will be the only major cage duel in Bis- marck this week. The Bismarck Demons will leave Thursday on their eastern invasion. The Demons will face the Valley City Hiliners at Val- ley City Thursday night, the Fargo Midgets at Fargo Friday and the Moorhead Spuds at Moorhead Satur- day. Mandan will invade Dickinson Fri- day where they play the Midgets will | there. Von Porat May Get New Crown Scandinavian Authorities Are Seeking for Heavyweight Boxing Champion Oslo, Feb. 24.—(7)—Not that it matters, but Scandinavian athletic authorities are seeking the heavy- weight boxing champion of Scandina- via. And among those talked of as en- trants is Otto Von Porat, known in Chicago and points east and west for his fights with Gerald Ambrose, otherwise “Tuffy” Griffith. At pres- ent Otto isa coach in a boxing school here. Otto would represent Norway; Sor- en Pedersen, Denmark, and either Harry Persson or Ole Bergvall would don the mitts for Sweden. Rube Benton Will Go South With Millers Minneapolis, Feb. 24.—(}—Rube Benton, former big league southpaw pitcher, is to have an opportunity to prove he is not through as @ hurler. Benton’s release was announced last week by the Minneapolis Amer- jean Association club. His pitching hand was crushed in 8n autcmobile accident last year and Mike Kelley, manager, said he believed the injury had closed the Rube’s pitching career. In a letter received Monday by Kel- ley, Benton declared an operation had restored use of his hand and en- closed newspaper clippings by Cin- cinati sports writers to that effect. So Kelley has decided to take Ben- ton to Hot Springs, Ark., with other Miller battery men in March to prove his statements. cess eee [ Learn to Give | Races ‘Color’ Canberra, Feb. 24—(7)—What- ever horse racing lacks in New Guinea is made up by the nag’s “color.” The ponies are d ner of bright colo: oe all man- and it isa by headed, coal-black kanakas in loin cloths.

Elton, Wade and McManus were high scorers for the Ramblers with Skjolsvik scored Almont’s lone field goal. ‘The Ramblers are pointing for the district independent cage tourney at Bismarck and Coach Steig predicts many restless nights for the other Missouri Slope entries. ‘The summary: Glen Ulin (70) a PE Elton, f ....

That was the thought I expressed prior to the opening of the 1930 campaign. The members of the club certainly justified my predic- tion, for not once during the sea- son was the club lower than fourth, where we finished. Despite the longest list of major in- juries ever suffered by a big league ball club, the team overcame every i handicap except the accident that be- fell Luke Sewell, our first string catcher, and put him out for prac- tically half of the season. The young Pitchers missed the poise that Sew- ell’s catching gave them and with his loss, the team that had bravely bat- tled all sorts of tough luck, collapsed. Going into first place in the mid- dle- of June, as the result of three victories over Philadelphia, every- thing seemed rosy. True, we were probably traveling a bit over our head but there we were, on top of the heap, with the season about one-third over. + Sewell Injured Then came Sewell’s injury and tough break after tough break. The team that had been the surprise of the year, proceeded to do a complete flop and lost 20 out of the next 23 games, dropping from first to fourth. However, the club proved its gre: spirit by a great comeback, winning 19 out of the next 26 games. ‘This I consider one of the most re- markable achievements of the year. By it, Cleveland proved beyond a doubt that it is one of the most courageous teams in the major leagues. Most clubs would have quit after taking 20 trimmings out of 23 starts, but not the Indians. Winning. 19 out of the next 26 games was a comeback just as remarkable and un- expected as had been ‘the losing streak of the team. ‘There are a number of reasons why I believe Cleveland will have a bet- ter ball club in 1931 than last sea- son, the most important of which is itching. Cleveland is almost cer- tain to get a better brand of pitching and as everyone knows, pitching is about 60 per cent of the battle. Ferrell Improves Ferrell has proved beyond a doubt that he is a great pitcher and should have another big year. He is the jtype of Pitcher who always has @ jchance to win 20 games or better. In ‘addition, Hudlin and Miller, two of the veterans, should be far better than last season. Hudlin has enough stuff jto win seven or eight more games than he did last year. For Walter Miller it was a terrible season. Win- ner of 14. games in 1929, he was of little ‘use to the Indians in 1930. Mil- ler may show a complete reversal of form the coming summer and may ° turn in from 12 to 15 wins for the |Indians, which would help consid- erably. | Better pitching is one thing that I |feel is certain to make the Cleveland 3 club a stronger team than in 1930. Un- | questionably, Miller and Hudlin be- jtween them should win at least 10 | more games than last year. In addi- |tion, Cleveland has the best looking lerop of young pitchers in the ma- | jors.

Crown Bowling Champs Monday Lester Reisberg, Minneapoli Captured Singles Title With 746 Points Minneapolis, Feb. 24—(?)—Cham- pions in three events—individual, doubles and all-events—were crowned Monday night as the annual tourna- ment of the International Bowling association ended.

Boats for Princeton, Harvard, Co- lumbia, Syracuse, Cornell, Califor- nia, and Washington are on the forms or racks in the shop above the Wash- ington crew house. The last five an- nually compete in the national re- gatta. Pocock said it was not improbable that Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, two other Hudson river contestants, will later place orders. Pocock has been their shell builder for several years. | In reality, the Pocock shop has or | will furnish racing shells to all but two of the leading crew institutions of the country—Yale and Navy. | And at Yale Ed Leader's shells are | built by Dick Pocock, brother of George who makes boats exclusively for old Eli. It is quite likely that one of the beautiful craft now being tructed will be the shell that carrie3 the win- ning crew at Poughkeepsie.

I’ve been in this hotel for days now and every time I come into ie eae Isee bg fated and star- at every! he isn't a oraber body, ball play- “A ball player! Gasped the rookie, “Why mister, that's ‘Rane Hornsby, probably the greatest, right, hand hitter the game has over known.” The hero worshiper retired in con- fusion, but he had seen a real picture of the rajah, perhaps the strangest Personality in baseball. He has been booed and cheered alike by millions of fans and has broken record after record with his big stick, and yet he acts just as he did 16 years ago when he came up to the major leagues, @ raw-boned, inquisitive kid from. Texas. Has Rare Habits He is a lone wolf because of habits rather than preference, He doesn't chew, smoke or drink. He doesn't dance, play cards or golf. His busi- ness is baseball and s0 is his hobby, He will talk of it for hours with any- one who will listen. If the conver- sation is switched to some other sub- ject he is apt to walk right out of the discussion. He sits for hours staring out of a chair in hotel lobbies like a farmer boy on his first trip to a big city. - He rarely reads even baseball stories in the papers, saving his eyes to watch for pellets curving across the corners of @ plate. Rarely does he go to the theater. ‘He doesn’t know a brassie from a niblick, he raises sod for putting greens on 87 acres of his Missouri farm. He has never seen a putt made on his own grass. Twice, out of curiosity, he has hit golf balls. He dubbed the first drive in the park at. Catalina and hit the next one 250 yards.and out of the lot. He never hit another. He wasn’t interested. Is Sly Humorist His sense of humor is keen and sly. By organized cheering he piloted Andy Lotshaw, Cub trainer, and Hank Grampp, bull pen pitcher, a couple of left footers, into a dead heat for the annual camp dancing championship at Catalina. Once he asked @ sports writer's wife to teach him to dance. She agreed but when the music started up he reddencd and said: “Aw, I was just foolin. never learn to dance.” He likes to watch airplanes flying around. Someday he'd like to own and fly one. He likes to farm. If prohibition hadn’t become a law he might have been as good a bartender as he is a ball player. No matter how fine the mixture he won't drink it. He is one of the most difficult men in sport to interview. He will answer questions fully but volunteers littlc informatioa. Once wi hitting over .400 he fell into a sit for two days. A rookie who never could hope to club .250 seriously pointed out certain mistakes in his stance and grip. Hornsby had the novice go over the instructions again and again. The ribbing went on for over an hour. Likes to Eat He believes in lots of food for ball players. Warren Brown once asked him the secret of his punch at the plate. “Them steaks,” he answered. The next day he took Brown and several players with him to a dilapi- tated lunchroom and fed them steaks the size of dish , “Just cat them steaks awhile and you'll hit,” he insisted. “They give you something to work with. They give you beef and power.” Behind his seriousness is a back drop of melancholy. He doesn't care what is said about him, Whether he’s liked or disliked, cheered ot booed, he gets tired of being in the limelight. One day last summer ! asked him to go to the horse races— an interest he has given up because of difficulties that once beset him “I'd like to go,” he sighed. “There's lots of’ things I like to do. But f can’t. People would say ‘There he \s back at the horse races.’ Sometinc® I wish I was just a bat boy. Then I could do a lot of things I want to do. Roy Stover Victor in American Dog Derby.
