6 THE RISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1934 BLUE JAYS, SATANS, MAROONS BEATEN IN PRE-HOLIDAY GAMES St. Mary’s, Enderlin, Fairmount! and Grafton Sound Notes of Warning BRAVES INDICATE STRENGTH Hebron and Taylor Lead North Missouri Slope; Bowman and Rhame Top Loop (By The Associated Press) High school basketball remains at ® standstill this week-end in North Dakota and the inactivity will con- tinue in most sections of the state for two more weeks. Already indicated, however, is a stiff battle by Class B quints to oust some of the eight major teams from the state Class A tournament. This indication of vigorous post- holiday play came with vhe early season defeat of three Class A schoo!s by six of the B clubs and distinctly good showing made by several other of the smaller aggregations The trio of major cage teams which succumbed twice each to the basket- shooting of B teams includes Jam: town, Grand Forks and Devils La! Lakers, Forks Beaten Devils Lake dropped two games to Aneta, Grand Forks lost to Grafton. state B champion last year, and Fair- mount, and Jamestown lost to Ender- lin and a powerful club representing 6t. Mary's of Bismarck. The strength of Mandan was indi- cated by its 20 to 12 win over Valley City which previously had beaten Jamestown and later humbled Bis- marek. Opening of the post-holiday sea- son two weeks hence will offer a test ef strength for two other possible contenders for places in the Class A tourney, Mandan to meet the Dickin- son Midgets and Fargo to play Wah- peton’s polished crew. Over the state among the smaller schools, conierence play is pointing to the favorites in the various sec- tions.

By JIMMY DONAHUE NEA Service Sports Writer New York, Dec. 27.- ‘Len Koe- necke, the $75,000 “bust” of a few years back, celebrated his return to the major leagues last season by set- ting up a new National League rec- ord for outfielders. The former Indianapolis ball-hawk, for whom the New York Giants re- putedly paid $75,000 in 1931 only to cast him adrift after a short. trial, committed only two errors on a total of $18 chances in the Brooklyn Dod: ers’ outfield during the 1934 cam- paign. Playing in 121 games, Koe. necke's fielding average of .994 sha’ Jed one percentage point off the old league record held jointly by Louis B. Duncan of Cincinnati and Wally Berger of Boston.

The larger number, it seemed, were in favor of letting the Playing code stand as it is. Another ‘Sroup, more vocal, was inclined to fa- vor the professional rules. The professionals frankly have aimed at developing a wide-open game more attractive to the customers if less safe for the players.
