YATES Winners Prepare Wednesday for Championship Matches in Tournament Here ‘The District 14 independent bas- ketball tournament opened here Tues- day night in a game, won by Bis- marck by a 40-22 count, played be- tween the locals and the Strasburg quint. Other contests saw Mandan squelch Napoleon 46 to 11, and Lin- ton eliminate Ft. Yates in a 29-10 game. The hereditary rivals, Mandan and Bismarck, decide which squad will play for the championship of the dis- trict in a game at 10 o'clock Wed- nesday morning. Linton, who took a bye in the drawings by the state offi- cials, will play the winner of the Morning contest Wednesday evening. Play Wednesday night begins at 7:30 with a consolation game between Ft. Yates and the team losing the morning contest. Linton meets the winner of the morning game for the district cham~- pionship and for the right to repre- sent district 14 at the regional meet which will be held this week. Game Starts Evenly The Bismarck-Strasburg game started slowly with neither team gain- ing a distinct advantage in the first quarters of play. G. Croonquist scor- ed first for the Prowlers with a field goal. Max Mastel tied the count by registering from the field for Stras- burg. John Spriggs counted two field goals for the locals. The Capital City quint had trouble with their passes in the opening periods, and often Jost the ball, after working it into scoring position. Flegel brought the count to four for Strasburg as the quarter ended. Lee Flegal dropped two through the fron hoop to give Strasburg an 8 to 6 lead. Spriggs and Croonquist count- ed to push the home team to the top, and in the remaining play their ad- vantage was never seriously threaten- ed. The Prowlers had trouble seeing the basket in the game and missed a number of set-ups. ‘The play of Croonquist was out- standing for the Bismarck cagers. He counted 13 points to tie with Spriggs for scoring honors, and played a un- selfish, heady game throughout. At the intermission the locals had the lead in a 14-13 score; in the third quarter they boosted the tallying to 24 while Strasburg moved to 18; but in the last quarter the Prowlers went wild. They scored 16 points while allowing their opponents but four More counters. Summary: Bismarck (40) Croonquist, f Spriggs, f Schneider, ¢ Martin, ¢ Hays, € . Griffen, @ .- .

At the end of the first quarter the ‘braves lead six to three; in the second their count soared to 19 while the Lions didn’t budge from the three mark; the third found the Mandan cagers with 30 points to eight for Napoleon; and the winners ran up their tallying 15 more points before the game ended. ‘The Indians completely demonstrat- ed the power of their offensive at- tack in the game.
