Mary's high school of Bis- | marck has challenged Bismarck high school for the right to repre- sent this district in the North Da- kota state Class A basketball tournament in March, it was an- nounced Thursday by Rev. Father Henry Holleman, athletic director of the Capital City parochial school. ‘This insures a game between the two Bismarck teams this season, probably early in March. The two schools have not scheduled a regu- lar season game. ‘The official challenge has been mailed to L. A. White of Minot, wecretary of the state high school athletic board of control. White, however, is seriously ill and has Mot been able to take care of his eorrespondence for several days. ‘The deadline for Class B teams to challenge Class A teams in their respective districts for the right to participate in the state Class A tournament is Jan. 15. Bismarck is one of the eight Class A teams. The others are Minot, Devils Lake, Grand Forks, Pargo, Valley City, Jamestown and Mandan. St. Mary’s automatically falls in Class B and must challenge and defeat Bismarck to get into the Class A tourney. Considerable interest is evinced in the coming contest for several reasons. St. Mary's this year boasts the best team in its history, one which has defeated two Class A teams already, Devils Lake 23 to 21 and Mandan 30 to 15. Coach George L. Hays, mentor of Bis- marck’s state championship team last year, is tutoring the Saints this season and Frank Lee, mem- ber of the Bismarck title quint last year, is playing with the paro- chial quint this season. sium, beginning at 8 o'clock. A pre- liminary contest, in which the Imps, Bismarck high second team, will face Wing, is scheduled for 7 o'clock.

Ellsworth Vines, Jr., who sampled the old master's fire for three sets Wednesday night, the greatest tennis player in the world at the moment is Bill Tilden, 41 years old and spry. “There isn't @ man in the game, amateur or professional, who would stand a chance against him in match play,” declared the convinced ‘Elly’ after Tilden had taken him over the humps by scores of 8-6, 6-3, 6-2, in Vines’ debut as a professional at Madison Square Garden Wednesday night. 6-3, 6-2): Closing Half of Brilliant Skirmish BISON GUARD OUTSTANDING Partisans in Frenzy as Two Great Rivals Fight for Field Goal at End Fargo, N. D., Jan. 11—(P)—A stub- born Concordia College basketball team, unusually successful against its intercity foe, the North Dakota Agricultural College Bison, in recent years, was unable to cope with the rangier herd here Wednesday night and dropped a 31-28 decision. The Bison held a 16-12 lead at the half. After the Bison jumped out in front to stay most of the way in the first period, the Cobbers came on with & rush and the lead alternated seven times in the second period. A long field goal by Acey Olson, Bison guard, a free throw by Bernard Dyke, Cobber center, and Neville Reiners’ field goal 27 seconds before the close of hostilities had the partisans in a frenzy as the two teams fought for the field goal which would put the Cobbers ahead or would virtually clinch the affair for the herd. Pat Hildre Outstanding Outstanding were Pat Hildre, Cob- ber forward who in addition to scor- ing 15 points, two more than half of his team’s total, was a standout in tl Passing attack of his team. Reiners, a sophomore from LaCrosse, Wis, carried the brunt of the Bison attack, and despite his com- Perative inexperience, directed the Bison attack almost faultlessly in ad- dition to being its steadying influ- ence and scoring ace, with 11 points. Curt Denenny, Bison forward called upon because of the enforced absence of Roger Bernard, sophomore forward who was out with a sprained ankle, played an excellent defensive game. All of the Bison contributed to the scoring, with the exception of Maynard, who played only a half minute after Denenny was forced out on personals. Bud Marquardt and Russ Anderson counted six points each, while Olson contributed five. fensive work, contributed three points.

Every one of Thursday night's four games may have an important bearing on the standings.

The audience had seen Vines drive wont to do when he ruled the world’s amateurs. And they had seen the youngster’s bat nearly knocked from his. hand, the bell go flying askew, from the fury of Big Bill’s backward return.

Five-Year-Old Family Pet, Chase Me, May Dominate Racing This Year Horse Taught to Shake Hands Won Six Victories at Close of 1933 By BILL BRAUCHER New York, Jan. 11—The handicap | star of the 1934 racing season may be There is more than a wild chance/| that the big shot among the equines will be a five-year-old family pet, called Chase Me. The turf which periodically fur- nishes the world with a story of the underdog that became a champion— the cart horse that once won the Grand National, for instance—knows no more bizarre tale than that of the crippled discard, Chase Me, who finally was given a chance to run in the closing weeks of the 1933 season ‘and won six steaieht nia ‘When he was two years old, this big brown gelding, offspring of mighty Purchase out bf Mayanel, a $600 mare, ‘was found unfit for training because Denenny, in addition to his fine de-|of bad knees. He was relegated to} the peaceful life of a family pet at the farm of John Bosley, Jr. near ‘Monkton, Md. The young Bosleys taught Chase Me how to “shake hands” and other cute tricks. He was schooled in jumping and used as a hunter. Mrs. Bosley, who trained him, final- ly entered her farm pet in a race last Sept. 28 at Havre de Grace, “just to see how he would go.”. It was a mile and a furlong for maidens of all ages. If Chase Me hadn’t won a race, ‘he had no edge on the others in that field. It was a cheap crowd. Before the barrier was sprung, Chase Me lifted a leg, offering to shake hands with the amazed assist- ant starter. He looked like anything but @ race horse, with his dangling surcingle, a contraption that running thoroughbreds do not wear.

Then he passed them as though they were grazing and went on to win by 15 lengths. ; xe * The natural question was, “How long has this been going on?” Chase ‘Me was rubbed down and sent to Laurel where in mid-October he was sent in against such class as Bold Lover, Cathop, Snapback, Keep Out. Again Chase Me loped along until they reached that homestretch, again to find out just how good Chase Me was. He was entered in a mile and a sixteenth at Laurel against White Clover II, Don Pedro, Flagstone and others, conceding the tough White Clover seven pounds. Chase Me won by a length. He was taken to Pimlico and put up against Tred Avon, mare that had beaten Equipoise a year before. It ‘was a repetition of his other victories, Chase Me following the field until they got to that stretch where bad ones fold up and good ones begin to come on. Then he did his stuff again, ante EY more than a length. * * The big good-natured gelding toy- ed with his fields. In November at. Bowie, he beat the fine sprinter Okapi away from the tape, then dropped back so far it appeared he had quit. In the homestretch he came on again, thus answering the hardest question they can ask a horse. Finally Chase Me was given the works—a handicap race in which there were Mate, Pomposity, Thurs- day, Dominus, Watch Him, Mad Frump, Inlander, Kerry Patch, Oscu- lator and Chatmoss—and was given top weight of 117 pounds to bear around. He got away fifth. In the back- stretch he loafed along third from last. As they neared the far turn he began overtaking them, one by one, giving his backers the greatest thrill a turf fan can have, x Ke OK ‘There remained only Mate, but for @ time after they were straightened out for the run home, Mate looked good enough. Only for swift seconds, though. Jockey Gilbert went to the bat. One touch was enough—and Chase Me roared past the great Mate 80 swiftly he almost knocked him over into the infield. Six races, six victories! And now those whose pulses beat a little faster as a field of bluebloods goes to the post are wondering if Equipose will be brought back to the races this year to face this new tyrant of the turf—and whether Winooka, the Aus- tralian, can lick the former family pet.
