THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1933 Bismarck High School Cagers Swamp Hebron in Opener, 45 to 5% EXHIBIT IMPRESSIVE |BASEBALL’S ANNUAL TRADING SEASON WILL OPEN TUESDAY OUR BOARDING HOUSE SHORT PASSING AND ACCURATE SHOOTING Billy Owens, Neil Croonquist and Larry Schneider Heavy Scorers FAT ELOFSON PLAYS WELL Gordon Engen, Neil Beylund, Jim M'Guiness and Don Bowman Used Exhibiting a snappy short-passing end sharp-shooting game at the high school gymnasium here Saturday night in its opening game of the sea- son, Bismarck high schoo] swamped Hebron’s Brickmakers 45 to 5. The heaviest scoring was divided among the three starting forwards, Billy Owens, Neil Croonquist and Larry Schneider, each making a dozen points or more Gorden En- gen, starting guard, and Neil Bey- Jund, reserve center, completed the scoring. Though he didn’t break into the ‘scorjng column, Fat Elofson, the other starting guard, played an impressive iloor game and was one of the im- portant cogs in an offense which functioned unusually smoothly for an opening contest. Jim McGuinness and Don Bowman also saw service in the Bismarck lineup. Three Bismarck men were ineligible for the fracas and did not play—Ollie Sorsdahl, Norman Agre and Bud Kang. Coach Roy D. McLeod's Demons were slow to start, but once the click- ing offensive got under way the score mounted hurriedly. The Demons ‘were out in front 14-2 at the end of the first quarter, 24 to 2 at the half and 35 to 2 as the final quarter be- gan, holding the visitors to one field goal in the first three cantos. Hebron lost to Mandan by a 5-35 count Friday night. In the game here Klick, Brickmaker guard, made Voth field goals for his team while Schwought, the other guard, counted on a gift tess to complete Hebron's scoring.

(Bill) 2oper, the man who taught Princeton elevens to make touchdowns of fum- (hles and then carried his fighting {spirit into politics and business, is |ead at the age of 53. He succumbed Sunday after a two- month fight against infection, robbed of a chance to enjoy realization of two of his most cherished goals—re- al of prohibition and legalization of | Sunday sports in Pennsylvania. A militant member of Philadelphia's city council for 14 years, Roper fought hard and long for both, In that time, he led the Tigers to three “Big Three’ championships.

Saddened by his passing, academic nnd athletic authorities at Princeton paid high tribute to his character. “Mr. Rover's death marks the pass- ing of a vibrant personality,” said Dr. Harold Willis Dodds, president of the university. “In football he was a dis- tinguished coach, zealous for the hon- or of the game. In public life he valued independence and courage above private ambition. His death is deeply mourned at Princeton.” Born in Philadelphia in 1880, Roper leaves his widow and two children. His son, William W. Jr., was a mem- ter of this year's Princeton football Squad and, like his father, played end. Funeral services tentatively had been set for Tuesday.

The | 1 a return engagement Saturday ticularly Impressive Grand Forks, N. Dak., Dec. 11.—A heated battle is being waged by the : sophomore members of the University of North Dakota basketball squad in an effort to wrest regular positions from juniors and seniors. Five soph. omores are in the running, more or less, for regular posts. Meanwhile Coach Clem Letich is driving his charges at a fast pace as he prepares them for their next home stand, Dec. 15, against the high-scor- ing Jamestown College quintet. The Sioux opened their season against Mayville State Teachers, and due largely to the excellent playing of the sophomores and reserves, ran up a 53-18 victory. Although at present the Nodak starting lineup includes Capt. Bernie Smith and Weston Booth, both of Grand Forks, at guards; Ted Mein- hover of Bismarck, at center; and Pinky Mullen of Grand Forks and Herman Witasek of Lankin at for- wards, it is not unreasonable to ex- pect at least two sophomores to break into the regular lineup. The playing of Byron Spielman of | Mandan, forward, has pleased the Sioux Mentor no little, as have the performances of Gordon Aamoth of Fargo, sophomore guard candidate. Then, too, Jack McDonald of Graf- ton has looked good at guard and is Slated to play a great deal. Ted Meinhover, 6 foot 7% inch cen- ter from Bismarck, will do most of the center playing this year, but in event. Ted is off his stride, Coach Letich can call upon either of two 6-foot-5-inch | neuri pivet men. Vernon Weaver, sopho- more from Devils Lake, and Jake Stocker, recruited from intramural ranks, are developing. Still another sophomore is making a bid. Jack Charbonneau, Fargo pro- duct, is just rounding into condition sfter partaking in a heavy gridiron routine. So, too, is Harold Tait, Bis- marck, reserve forward last year. The Sioux basketball squad is prim: ing itself for the invasion here of Nebraska University Dec. 29.

Hoffman said: “If Jack wants the winner for Baer in California in February he can have him. Otherwise Max may not go into action until next summer, “Baer will not fight Primo Car- nera unless Dempsey is the pro- moter. That is definite.” West Apparently Has Best Horses for Annual Derb Mata Hari and Bazaar Better Prospects Than Jabot and Chickstraw By MAX RIDDLE New York, Dec. 11—With the north- ern and eastern season closed, the dope jar for the Kentucky Derby al- ready is being shaken up. Last year’s battle between the east ‘and west for seasonal honors was re- Peated, and a great number of speedy two-year-olds brought forth. In 1932 Ladysmith represented the east, and seemed a better championship candi- date than the western horse, Head Play. But this year the west prob- ably has the two best juveniles in the country, Mata Hari and Bazaar, whereas the east must be content with runner-up honors in Jabot and Chick- straw. eee Mata Hari, an appropriately named daughter of Peter Hastings, out of War Woman by Man o'War, was just about as speedy a bit of feminine horse as has been seen since Top Flight—probably just as fast as the great Whitney filly.
