6 GLASSIC IN HISTORY FORECAST BY FANS ‘Experts Hesitate in Picking Favorite, So Evenly- Matched Are Teams OFFICIALS ARE ANNOUNCED Bismarck Will Make First Ap- pearance Against Ender- lin Friday Night ‘With North Dakota's most brilliant rep court spectacle in prospect, fans ‘were trekking to Bismarck Thursday to watch the Class A state champion- ship basketball tournament at the ‘World War Memorial building here Friday and Saturday. All entrants in the tourney, includ- | more than 70 athletes and coaches | from eight high schools in the state, | ‘will be in the Capital City by Thurs- | Gay night, ready for the starting whistle at 3 o'clock Friday afternoon, *4¢ is announced by H. O. Saxvik, su- | perintendent of Bismarck schools and | tournament manager. Minot and Grand Forks will start the fireworks when they clash in the first game Friday afternoon. This| game will be followed by a game be- tween Mandan and Devils Lake at 4 o’clock. | ‘What is generally conceded to be| the feature game of the first round will find Fargo and Jamestown, two of the admitted strongest entrants, facing each other at 8 o'clock in the first evening game. Bismarck vs. Enderlin , In the final game of the first round | "at 9 o'clock, Bismarck will face En- derlin, the only Class B quint in the tourney. Enderlin won the right to; Senter the tourney by defeating Valley ‘City, a Class A team, in the third extra period of a playoff game. ‘The semi-finals will be played Sat- urday at 10 a. m. and 11 a. m, with| “winners of games 1 and 2 meeting in ‘the first and winners of games 3 and @ clashing in the second. The championship game will be, played Saturday at 9:15 p. m., pre- ceded by the game between the losers | of the semi-final contests for third) 4place and the championship game of | the consolation round. Losers of the first-round games will clash in two games Saturday after- noon for the right to enter the final | game of the consolation round. This year's tournament promises to | ‘be the most spectacular in the state's | history not only because the eight entrants are without doubt the, strongest eight in the state but also | because they are so evenly matched. Not one of the Class A teams has come through the season without suf- fering at least one defeat at the hands of another Class A team. Predictions Are Doubtful ‘This situation clouds all attempts, &t picking an outstanding favorite to! win championship honors. If any teams are mentioned more promin- ently than others as championship’ probabilities they are Fargo, James- | town, Grand Forks and Bismarck. | This is the inaugural season of | Class A. Under the new plan eight | ‘teams automatically are in Class A nd become entrants in the state tournament unless they are challenged | by Class B teams. In the event of; challenges, playoff games are ar-/ ranged between the challengers and | the Class A teams in those districts, ‘winners to enter the tournament. ‘This set-up insures that both Bis-} marck and Mandan and both Valley City and Jamestown will be entrants, barring their overthrow by challen- | gers, as is the case in Enderlin’s en-| trance this season. Heretofore either | Bismarck or Mandan and either Val-| Jey City or Jamestown were elimin- ated in regional games, with two ‘weaker teams from other regions be- ‘ing admitted to the state tournament 4n their places, | Dick Holzer of Moorhead, Minn., favorite official of the University of North Dakota and the North Dakota agricultural college, and F.

Jacob Ruppert, club owner, are just as far apart as ever. “Would you consider a contract for $55,000?” the assembled war correspondents asked the Babe Wednesday, “I have been giving the figure serious consideration,” he replied. “Would you be willing to add $5,000 to your original offer?” they asked Ruppert. “T still am standing pat on my offer of $50,000,” came the reply.

Hubbell already appears in mid-season shape. “Our Pitching still is a bit spotty,” Man- ager Bill Terry said, “but any time we can get pitching such as Hubbell fanings, there is'no club in the league that we have afraid to be of.” By Williams oS oP — THe last four | 9, Depend On Radically-Shifted Lineup to Pull Club Out of Doldrums By ALAN GOULD (Associated Press Sports Editor) Tired of standing pat and waiting for something to happen, the St. Louis Browns will toss a radically-shifted lineup into the American League pen- nant race this spring, hopeful of shak- ing off the handicaps that have an- chored the club in almost exactly the ret ose ‘hee i rerepe 91, ae Place in 1931 and dropping sixth last year as part of the change for Lloyd Brown, Carl Rey- nolds and Sam West. “The new men not only add new| ‘2 spirit to the team but will strengthen state here emphatically that the team will show more good all-around base- ball than last season. have added in Sam West the cream | W' of defensive outfielders.

At least indications pointed in that direction as a result of the 17 hitd Clark Griffith’s sluggers registered in Wednesday's 13 to 2 victory over Ate lanta.
