I —_ B a DEMON CREW WINS CAUTIOUS CONTEST Both Squads Commit Numerous Fouls; Capital City Quint Newr Headed IMPS. WALLOP STEELE 35-8) Coach Claude Miller’s Quint to Invade Mandan for Satur- day Night Game Bismarck high school's cage squad gained revenge Friday night from Valley City for their de- feat last week by triumphing over the Hiliners 23-13 at the World War Memorial building. It was a battle of skill and strategy in which speed and accuracy were contributing factors. Both squads started cautiously and did not reach their best form until late in the third and early in the fourth quarters. The game was marked by numer-/ ous fouls, The Demons had seven penalties against them while the Hi- liners committed nine fouls. The Demons were less accurate at the free throw line than the Valley City ciub, The Bismarckers made only seven points out of 15 attempts while the Hiliners garnered five out of eight tries. { Braves See Game i Watching the game from the side- lines, the Mandan Braves scouted the tiit with their coach Leonard C. Mc- Mahan. Saturday night the Valley City club will meet the Brave quint at the training school gymnasium at 8:15 p, m. (Mandan time). Failing to make a single point in the first half, Eddie Agre, diminutive Demon star, was high scorer of the game with 10 points. His closest ri- | vals for high-point honors were his team-mate, Captain Johnny Spriggs, anc Noecker, Valley City center. Each had six points. Agre, the smallest man on the Demon squad, played the center position against the tall Noecker during the majority of the game. The Bismarck quint played a smart game of basketball to subdue Coach Claude Miller's Hiliners. The Hili- ners presented & fast-breaking of-; fense, an accurate pass attack, and a stiff defense but Coach George “Baldy” Hays’ squad out-maneuvered tiem and won. Guards Are Efficient Paired at guard with Lester Dohn, veteran Demon cager from last year's championship quint, Wade Green, al- though only a sophomore, performed efficiently and smoothly under the basket. Green, playing a heady game, several times turned Hiliner. shots into only attempts. Harold Tait, lanky Demon cager, contributed five points to his team’s total and played a floor game that time after time spolled Hiliner thrusts at the basket. With but a minute to play Coach Hays sent in his four shock troops, Benser, Benzon, Brown and Allen. Dohn opened the scoring for the Bismarck quint and he was followed by Captain Johnny Spriggs for the only four points the Demons made iu the first period. Beartsch, Valley City forward, started the Hiliner count with a free throw to close the first period with the Demons ahead 4-1, Half-time found the Bismarck- ‘ers leading 6-3, During the third quarter the Hiliners started an ad- vance that dwindled the Bismarck (20. .

March, 7.—(?)— Michigan, Illinois and Ohio State; Saturday stood out as front rank | contenders for the 1931 western con- | ference indoor track title which will be decided in the University of Wis- | consin field house Saturday night. The Wolverines, who Friday: night;) qualified three men in the 60-yard dash, one each in the mile, half mile and 440-yard runs and another in the 60-yard high hurdles. were slight favorites to take the title defended | by Wisconsin, but the struggle was considered a wide open affair. H Wisconsin's hope of repeating its! victory of last, year, was virtual, ruined ‘when Captain Bill Henke. counted as a certain winner of the 440-yard dash, -was forced to drop out of compéfition because of’ a pull. ed tendon. The loss of Henke's po: tential five points, left the Badgers! with only a slim hope of being among | the first three teams. | Ohio State qualified a pair of bril- | liant sophomores, Bill Blor and Jack | Keller, in the half mile and high} hurdles respectively. Rupert Beetham ; r., also won a place in the half mile, | well as in the mile. Illinois got | Lee Sentment into the hurdles Thompson and Woolsey in the mile, ! and Witte and Captain Cave in the/| 60-yard dash, and counted heavily on | points in other finals to aid its cause. | Michigan's qualifiers were Eddie | Tolan, Jack Campbell and Smythe | in the 60-yard dash; Almon Wolfe in | margin to 13-9. In the final period tiie Demons annexed 10 points to their opponents’ four. Imps Win Preliminary greater accuracy in floor play an shooting gave the Bismarck Imps a 35-8 victory over the Steele high school basketball team in the pre- liminary tilt. The Imps obtained a 14-1 lead at the end of the first quarter, raised their advantage to 18-4 at half- time, increased their lead 24-5 to conclude the third quarter, and sank four field goals and three free throws jn the final period to outclass their opponents. The Stecle quint fought gamely but the Imps were too powerful. Lloyd Murphy. and Gus Schlickenmeyer were outstanding for the Imps while Quam and Dornacker were the big guns for Steele.
