' Fargo Retains Right to CHALLENGE GAME Class B Team Holds Midgets to One Point in First Quar- ter of Play FISHER SCORES WINE POINTS Wahpeton Counts Only Four Field Goals in Contest at Moorhead Monday Moorhead, Minn., March 13.—(P}— Giving one of its best performances of the season, Fargo high school ‘Monday night won the right to com- pete in the state class A basketball tournament at Bismarck Friday and Saturday by turning back the class B challenger, Wahpeton, by a 29-17 margin in the Moorhead State Teach- ets college gymnasium. More than 1,600 fans saw the two teams play hard, fast basketball, with Fargo starting slowly but gradually increasing in power to win going away. Fargo will be the only unde- feated team in the tournament. ‘Wahpeton’s defense was particu- arly effective in the first quarter, during which it held the Midgets to @ single free throw. But midway in the second period Fargo began seep- ing through for short shots. At half time the Midgets held a 15-7 advant- se Tnrough the third and fourth quar- ters Fargo distinctly held the upper hand, while Wahpeton was forced al- most continuously on the defense. ‘Wayne Fisher, Fargo center, was out- standing for his team. He scored mine points. The rest of the Fargo georing and general offensive play found Palmer Kreutz, Vincent Crary, Art Olson and Charles Nelson on ebout an even basis. Rife, Rieke and Joe Napravnick ‘were most effective for the Wops, who were held to four field goals and ‘who made only nine free throws out ef 23 chances. The summary: Nelson, f Shepherd, c O.

His victory also gave him an in- side track on Davis Cup selections this year, and his choice by the tennis fathers, for at least the al- ternate post, will be the first step toward infusion of young blood into the ranks of the veterans who flopped so ungracefully in 1933.

D., March 13.—()}—Sher- ald Kennard of Fargo, 146%, out- pointed Battling Nelson of Belgrade, Neb. 151, to win the decision in a six- round feature boxing bout here Mon- day night. Kennard was down three times in the first, second and fourth rounds, but he had Nelson down twice counts in the second and then to win shades in the fifth to clinch victory. Nelson and fourth rounds with six-round semi windup, ightmeier, clever Sioux City outpointed Sammy z in at 124. Johnny Stanton, Minneapolis light- ‘weight, won over Billie Love, Omaha egro, in six rounds. Stanton scaled 136; Love 140. In the four-round opener, Chief Red Feather of Oneida, 8. D. 141, and Al Pahl of Sioux City, 142, drew. Pahl ‘was down in the first and second from sharp left hooks to the head but allied to win the final two rounds. In the opening wrestling match, Floyd Marshall of Phoenix, Ariz. and Andy Moen of Fergus Falls, Minn. drew in 30 minutes. Notre Dame Freshman |i", Stars as High Jumper South Bend, Ind., March 13.—A 31- the amateur ladder faster than any other player in the last three years In 1931 he was rated in 15th position. The following year he jumped to sixth spot, and when selections were made for 1933, he rated third. * * * ‘What's the secret of his phenomenal j climb? To be brief, it’s his service. { Ellsworth Vines, just before he turn: | ed pro last year, had a lot to say! about that service. Following is part} of what he ssid: “Les, when he's right, can beat any Player in the world. 1 respect him more than anyone when he is right mainly because of his service. “The service in tennis has two func- tions: It puts the ball into play and it can be used to place the receiver at & disadvantage. Good placement or dazzling speed may accomplish this. “Stoefen has the speed. When in form he gets more behind a ball than anyone of our time. He strikes the ball when it is 12 feet in the air, and he hits it with such! cannon-like speed and momentum/ that it is next to impossible to re- turn it with any degree of accuracy. He has you at his mercy, and you realize that he can win his service games and the pressure is put on you; it will depend on how many of your service games you can win.” Vines himself, being tall, has an excellent service game. But Stoefen “Elly” by several inches, and added height and arm reach en- OUT OUR WAY t his | variety of delivery, a twist, cut, and able him to get wa in the air) and smash down on a service. His speed has been blinding them all in late years. ** * Some say that Les’ speed will be his undoing. They point out that Maurice McLoughlin, the original speed demon, flashed to the front with his cannon-like service and stay- ed at the top only two years. On the other hand, they illustrate, Bill Tilden, who had none of that dazzling speed, took change of pace, a lob and held years. But it can be said for Stoefen that ‘he’s a youngster. just coming along, jwho is built for speed. His frame is !not taxed by the power he puts into jhis game, and it will be some time be- |fore his well-conditioned body breaks jdown under his terrific pace. Henri Cochet, the great French star | who recently turned pro, has said the U. S. chances to capture the Davis! Cup this year are good—and he had} Les Stoefen in mind when he made; that statement. ! At least two new faces wil] be on the American squad this year—Frank} Shields and Stoefen. Frank, if he's at his best form, should win one singles match, and Stoefen, if he's “right,” can beat anyone in the world—accord- ing to Vines. In addition to his singles compe- tition, Les may take part in the! doubles. He won the U. 8. doubles| title with George Lott last year, and that same combination should be good enough to work Uncle Sam's boys through the three Davis Cup ties in the United States. Cochet, Plaa Again Lose to Americans the crown for seven Indianapolis, March 13.—(#)—The United States touring professional tennis team of Bill Tilden and Ells- worth Vines has scored anofher vic- tory in its international series with French players, but only by a three matches to two margin. Henri Cochet. long a rival of Tilden in amateur play, subdued the Phila- delphian in the final singles encoun- ter last night, 7-5, 5-7, 6-2, 6-0, after Vines had taken the measure of Mar- tin Plaa by scores of 6-3, 5-7, 6-0, 6-3. The French previously had won the doubles, but in the opening singles Minnesota Quint Wins From Irish Gophers Down Notre Dame 43- 41 in Thrilling Overtime- Period Contest Minneapolis. March 13.—(7)—Min- nesota’s basketball team, which messed matters up in the Big Ten, saved still another shocker for Mon- day night to vanquish Notre Dame, 43 to 41, in a turbulent overtime | Struggle. Notre Dame, under the powerful guidance of big Ed Krause, over- hauled a Minnesota 24 to 13 half- time lead to go into a 37-37 tie at the end of regulation game play. Here the crowd of 7,000 fans, who already had been driven into one gasp after another, saw Crowe, long shot star, sink from center floor. Krause took a pass from Allen un- derneath the basket to make it 41-37 for the visitors. Two successsive field goals by George Roscoe, the first a tip-in off @ rebound and the second a sensation- al looper over his head, knotted it again. Norman, who led Minnesota with 12 points, sank a pot shot from the foul line seconds before the gun for the Gopher victory. Baer to Meet Carnera | Garden Officials Hope New York, March 13.—(#)—Col. John Reed Kilpatrick, president of Madison Square Garden, planned more conferences Tuesday to iron out. the difficulties blocking a heavyweight championship bout between Primo Carnera and Max Baer. “We're not so far apart as we were,” Col. Kilpatrick said. Baer’s insistence that Jack Demp- sey be given a share in the promo- tion of the match and his deniand for more than the challenger’s 12% per cent cut of the receipts have been two main stumbling blocks in the ne- gotiations. It would require an average of three end a fraction children per family play Vines had whipped Cochet and - Tilden won from Plaa. to keep the population of the United States from decreasing.

JACKSON TO REPLACE RYAN pier: Sma Return of Team Captain to Shortstop Post Only Switch Anticipated Miami, Beach, Fla., March 13—(P)— ‘The combination of rare pitching, ex- traordinary fighting spirit and op-|* portunism, which carried the New York Giants on a surprising flight to the baseball heights last season, has blended with tropical balminess this spring to produce an uncut brand of confidence in the camp of the world champions. As viewed now under Florida's blis- tering sun or mellow moonlight, it wasn't luck and the “breaks” but skill that swept the team to the top. In- stead of being due to a fortuitous chain of events or a manifestation of the art of making a little go a long way, it was the result of foresight, development and aggressive “percent- age” baseball. In short, Mr. Will Terry’s cheerful young men and old, along with their partisans, now look upon the Giants as a team destined to prove there was not the slightest \“fluke” about all that startled the baseball world last year. As a matter of fact there isn’t much nourishment for the opposition or the skeptics, who doubt that Hubbell, Schumacher and Parmelee will dupli- cate their pitching feats of 1933 or that the team asa whole willl click 80 effectively as a winning unit in the National League this year.
