Charity Games Will - PHANTOMS TO PLAY IN SERIES OF TILTS SPONSORED BY ELKS Jamestown College to Appear Here Jan. 6 For Initial Engagement LOCAL COURTMEN STRONG Is Made Up of Former Univer- sity and High School Luminaries Basketball fans in Bismarck and the Missouri Slope will be given an opportunity to see collegiate basket- ball on a local floor in a series of charity games between the Bismarck Phantoms and North Dakota college teams, it was announced Friday. ‘The series is being sponsored the Bismarck Elks who will turn proceeds over to charity. With arrangements for three games virtually completed, sponsors of the project hope to stretch the series in: the to six games. Negotiations are under | way with athletic officials at both the University and the Agricultural college and it is believed that teams representing both institutions will be brought here. ‘The first engagement is slated for Jan. 6 when the Jamestown college aggregation come here to take on the Phantoms at the World War Memor- jal building. Other teams which probably will make up the slate in- clude teams from the teachers col- Jeges at Elledale, Mayville, Valley City, and Dickinson. Neil Churchill, manager of the Phantoms, said Friday that indica-| tions were that his crew of former college and high school stars probably would be the strongest ever to wear the death’s head insignia. ‘The team will go to Carson Satur- day to open up the season against the Carson Independents and will take on New Leipzig the following day. Players, who were members of last year’s team and who are working out this year with the Phantoms, are Heidt, former Mandan high school star; Geston, University of North Dakota; Schaumberg, Jamestown college; 'Thornberg, Bismarck high school; and Thune, Williston high school. Other stars, who are members of} the squad, are Fay Brown, Mayville! ‘Teachers; Hank Brown, University of North Dakota; Schwartz, North Da- kota State; McCrea, University of North Dakota; Eddie Spriggs, Univer- | Johnny | sity of Minnesota; and Spriggs, Bismarck high school. For a number of years the Phan-/ toms have been in the front rank ‘among independent teams in North Dakota. Last year they lost the state championship to Ellendale by a single point, playing without the services of one of their regulars. ‘The play of the locals compares fa- Three Coaches Have Resigned as Storm Shakes Athletic Departments New York, Dec. 18—(7)—The storm but nowhere with quite so devastat- ing an effect as in New York. Here all three major universities— Columbia, New York and Fordham— and one smaller school, Manhattan, have been centers. of post-seasan football controversy or discussion of one sort or another. Three coaches have resigned, charges of professionalism have been fired and other arguments have crept in. The storm, so far as New York is concerned, began with the attack by| launched by the New York Univer- sity Daily News on John F. (Chick) Meehan on the ground that he rep- resented “big-time football.” Mee- |han’s resignation followed a few days. ater as N. Y. U. announced a “new athletic era” the cardinal point of which wa sthe de-emphasis of foot- ball. Two more coaches quit yesterday, although not under such spectacular circumstances. John Law, head coach at Manhattan for two years, announced from Washington he would not return here, and Marty, Brill, who was with Law at Washing- ton, revealed he did not intend to! serve again as assistant coach at Columbia. Both are Notre Dame alumni. Columbia, shaken by charges and) rumored charges of widespread pro- fessionalism,. was back on an even keel again as this broadside met with prompt and complete denial from of football argument rages unabated,; athletic authorities. Fordham escaped the fires of con- troversy but the death of Con Mur- phy, hurt in the Bucknell game, and the serious injury in the same con- test of John Szymanski, made it ap- pear for a time as though the Rams, might abolish football. pe ee Chicago Bookies Lose Thousands | a Chicago, Dec. 18—(7)—A mysteri- ous tipster has just about started a riot among Chicago's horse players ‘and “bookies.” He has given 20 straight “tips” on the seventh race at Tanforan and 16 of them have been just like money in the bank to the players and ilike heavy mortgages to the harrassed bookmakers. No one seems to know the mysteri- jous one but for the last three weeks he has spread his information far and wide over Chicago. Yesterday, his winning tip was Gorman,” “Mystery Tip Number 20.” After taking it on the chin re- vorably with any college team in the peatedly, the Chicago bookmakers de- state, according to Churchill, who said |cided to play safe last Tuesday. When that the Phantoms could be depended money poured in on the mysterious to make things hot for the collegians. Stanton Independents Trim Center Trojans Stanton, N. D., Dec. 18—Accurate shooting and airtight defensive work featured the play of the Stanton In- dependents as they rode rough-shod over the Center Trojans, 59 to 24. With the first string in action dur- \tip of Bobby Doyle, the “bookies” re- fused to accept another dollar. Tho horse finished out'of the money and they lost thousands of dollars because they refused to take wagers. ing the first two periods, the Stan- ton aggregation piled up a 23-point lead to be out in front at half-time, 27 to 4. ' Burchfinch and Temanson starred for the locals, while Lehmkuhl was outstanding among the Trojans. | OUR BOARDING HOUSE wrt ter BQ conection ror ZA New “Like “TH” GILDED AL HORSE-~ COLLAR Yau PICKED UP FOR “TH” OWL'S CLUB WEDDING GIFT“ A MEMBER! ~~ DoT Go AROUND FLASHING THAT JQ ~~ DASONS WEDDING Z GOING SHOPPING ~~ Nou MAY BE WITH MY GaoD TASTE .T WILL BUY SOMETHING USEFUL ASD ORNAMEMSTAL, © 1991 BY NEA SERVICE, INC, A Christmas Gift for Dakotans — THe LAD A SUITABLE PRESEAT!

Athletics For Two Stars Detroit, Dec. 18—(?)—Batting strength, long a bulwark of the De- troit baseball club, is being sought for the first time in many years by Pres- ident Frank Navin for the 1932 cam- Paign. Searching for seasoned players who can hit, Navin is carrying on negotia- tions with the Philadelphia Athletics for two star players. He also is try- ing to make a deal for Ralph Kresae| St. Louis infielder, to Bolster the Tiger defense. * 5 For years the Tigers possessed one of the most powerful attacks in the majors, but lacked good pitching and tight fielding. The big hitters from Cobb to Heilmann passed in the pro- cess of reorganization. Last year the Tigers presented good battery strength and fair fielding ability but lacked the old-time punch. For the first time since the records were kept, Detroit failed to show a. slugger in 1931 who batted in 100 or more runs. Dale Alexander topped the Tigers with 87. Detroit had added jewel ens, 1931 Pittsburgh pilot, to the coaching staff besides signing Stanley (Bucky) Har- ris for another year as manager. Ens will give particular attention to the hurling staff which will include Vic Sorrell, Earl Whitehill, Elon Hogsett, Arthur Herring, the veteran George Uhle, Young Tom Bridges and Whit ‘Wyatt, who will be given a fresh trial. ‘| Devils Lake Has Towering Cagers Satans Average Six Feet, Two Inches in Height; Cen- ter Is Giant Devils Lake, N.

It is that he played all or most of the 1931 campaign with a spinal injury serious enough to ae stopped any good football star. Schwartz’ secret came out when he was invited to compete with the all-star eastern team in the annual east-west charity game at San Franc’ New Year’s day. He took a physical examination and was told the injury was too serious for further play within the next few months. The Notre Dame star injured his spine before the opening of the 1931 campaign and didn’t start active practice along with the rest of the team. The injury healed slightly and he escaped excessive jars until the Southern California and games, when the injury recurred. Schwatz’s'loss was a hard blow to the all-star eastern team, which will assemble at North- western tomorrow and leave for the Pacific coast the same night.

The loss gave the visitors an even break in their two-game series here, the Nodaks having defeated St. Olaf, 27 to 18 Wednesday night. ‘The game started slowly, and with both teams concentrating on the de- fense, there was no scoring in the first five minutes. A free throw by Raasch of Carlton broke the ice, and then the score see-sawed for the next five minutes. The Carls soon stepped out and soon had a 15 to 5 lead. At half time the score was 20 to 9.
