Mandan time Bismarck time Saturday will be no preliminary British Oarsmen Clash Saturday acing Experts Give Oxford the Edge Over Traditional Rival, Cambridge e.RSEe ie ie : Aggie Break Attack; Have Defense Similar to Demons Information concerning the rela- tive strength of Coach Leonard Saal- waechter’s Bison, who will invade Bismarck for their clash with the Bis- marck Phantoms in the Memorial building, has caused no little worry in the Phantom camp. According to reports, the most feared cagers in the Yellow and Green lineup are the five usual starters: Leo May, George Fairhead, Donald Arthur, Wally Olson and Viv McKay. Of these players, May has played three years for the Bison, Olson has had two years experience teamed with May while Arthur and McKay are sophomores on the team. Arthur is a former Mandan high school cage star and McKay played with the state =e Valley City team in 1529, Captain May, outstanding of all Bison players, performs at center. Standing slightly over six feet, he usually gets the tip-off. His great Specialty is follow-in shots. Fairhead Is Marksman George Fairhead is the marksman of the Aggie quint. By far the best shot, he must be covered from the foul line if he is to be kept from the scoring column. Donald Arthur is the cleverest ball- handler of the Bison. He is the key floor man in the A. C. attack. A fair shot, he rarely tries for a basket from , | beyond the foul circle. McKay is the best defensive player of the two guards. He brings the ball up the floor on offense, and after passing, drives beneath the net for close set-up shots. Olson, @ cousin of “Acy” Olson, smooth-working Fargo high school guard, is the defensive rallying cog of the Bison. His duty is to get the re- bound from opponents’ tries. Of the Bison reserves, McDonald is undoubtedly the best, according to rumors in the Phantom camp. Fol- lowing close on the heels of McDon- ald is the six-foot six-inch Weir. He is considered to be the most danger- ous center in the North Central con- ference. Leo Thomasson and Gus Schwartz, former Bismarck high school player, complete the first nine of the Bison lineup. Schwartz is a big fast player and plays equally well at all positions on the court. Bison Have Stamina Nordstrom, regular guard, still is suffering from a bad leg injury and may not be able to get into the game. The Bison squad is characterized by amazing stamina and plays a stub- born, bull-dog type of game. They are in the habit of making final quarter rallies. Coach Saalwaechter’s cagers em- ploy a stall and break attack, using short, hard passes to get under the net. Offensive players, with the ex- ception of McKay, rarely shoot from the foul circle, unless they are unable to break fast enough to get the ball through their opponents’ defense. The majority of Bison are extremely accurate with one-handed tosses. The Bison use a shifting zone-type of defense that is almost identical with that employed by Coach George “Baldy” Hays’ Bismarck high school Gar Wood Breaks Speed-Boat Record Miami Beach, Fla. March 20.—(>) —Gar Wood set up a new world’s speedboat record Friday when he made an average two way speed of 100.6 miles per hour over a measur- ed mile course in Indian creek with his Miss America IX. BOBBY GETS CAPTAINCY Atlanta, Ga., March 20.—(4)—It’s Captain Bobby Jones now. Word was received here Friday that President Hoover has appointed Robert Tyre Jones Jr., golfer, lawyer, radio and movie star, a captain in the organized reserve of the United States army. ‘The regulations provide a special- ist officer may be subject to “special and miscellaneous duty.” «TI WANT - Quint Uses Stall-and- Barnard Finds ‘Lively’ Ball Is _ League Myth American Circuit President Be- lieves New Regulations Will Aid Major Clubs Pensacola, Fla., March 20—(?)—The so-called lively ball is a myth, the new rule governing sacrifice files will bring batting averages down to where they should be, and the new regula- tion forbidding signing of sand lot ball players by the majors will help both the major and minor leagues, in the opinion of E. 8. Barnard, presi- dent of the American league. “The new ball in my opinion, will have little effect on the players’ averages,” Mr. Barnard said as he ar- rived here to watch the Boston Red Sox in spring training. “In face we were not even going to say about a change and pers mit the players and public to dis- cover the difference, if any, them- selves. However, the National league announced the new ball at its meet- ing. “The size. and weight are the same, the only difference being that larger thread is used and the seams are therefore higher. This probably will permit the curve ball pitchers to get a better grip on the sphere, but no- body expects any difference in the HELLO, YOU BIG SKINNY SUGAR PINE fe “THis 1S HAPPY OL” DAKE HOOPLE, Come “% LIPT “TH?
