INTERSECTIONAL GAMES PUT NEW LIFE INTO BASKETBALL [news for the basketball public, and Cagers Follow Example of Foot- | ball; Olympic Trials to Liven Competition | Editor's Note: This is the third | of a series of three general stories and 18 diagrammed basketball plays by Nat Holman, famous coach of the Coll@ge of the City of New York. ‘There has been a startling revival of basketball interest all over the country this year. Particularly in the east this can be noticed. Newspapers hich heretofore have treated bas- ketball as the step-child of winter, sports now are giving it a place of! honor among the headlines, and other sports are being hardpressed by current basketball news. One reason for the growing pop- ularity of the cage game is the inter- {sectional angie, which seems to have been emphasized this year. New| York this winter is to be the scene Of several contests between teams of east, west, and south. Already one game, that between Notre Dame andj New York University, has attracted) more than 16,000 fans to Madison | Square Garden. Other teams which will appear here | are Kentucky, the wonder team of the south; Duquesne; and Purdue, champion of the Big Ten. Class of) these quintets is sure to attract big crowds and result in increased pop-! ularity. Football Shows Way I await this series of games with eagerness. I know the part that in- have played in arousing far-flung excitement and in- terest in football. Together with the East-West, Sugar Bowl, Rose Bowl, and Orange Bowl games, the clashes Basketball is certain to benefit in like degree from contests of this type. A recent news report informed us that basketball is to be included in the Olympic games. It was great) | OUT OUR WAY certain proof of the game's interna-.| tional growth. In line with this international spread, I believe that Dr. Phog Allen, Kansas coach, recently made the statement that basketball was being |Played by more than 18,000,000 people [= all parts of the world. Strive for Olympic Honors There is @ definite stimulant for the game in the decision to display it at the Olympics. I believe that, as @ result, there will be a greater num- ber of sectional tournaments than ever before, in an effort to be se- lected to carry Uncle Sam's colors, and with them a keener brand of competition. The A. A. U. basketball tournament this year will be instilled with new life. There is a rumor afoot that the east intends to send the leading col- lege team in its section to particl- pate, and it is likely that western and southern colleges will be close be- hind. With cach section of the country represented, the competition to choose the Olympic representatives in this tournament is certain to be intense. Which gives rise to the prediction that there's a great basketball year ahead. Kenmare Quint Holds Northwest I Loop Lead Kenmare, N. D., Jan, 10.—(®)}— Kenmare high school defeated Lans- ford 29 to 25 to take the lead in the Northwest Conference basketball race while Bowbells beat Powers Lake 29 to 24 to eliminate the Lakers from the undefeated list. Crosby won its opening conference gar\ from Mohall 32 to 15 after win- ning six straight non-conference games. Sherwood also won its only circuit game. Another shake-up in the conference standings is expected to result from this week's play in which Kenmare Plays at Bowbells, Crosby at Powers Lake, Stanley at Crosby, Mohall at Sherwood and Carpio at Mohall. Si Severson, at the extreme Conference Seems: Definitely on Way Schedules of ‘Old Guard’ Re- flect Mutual Interest and i Better Relations New York, Jan. 10—(7)}—For dip- lomatic reasons, the seven affiliated members of the eastern intercollegiate “old guards” so far have soft-pedalled their plans to extend to football the agreements which already exist in track, baseball and basketball. Whether the so-called “big seven” actually form a gridiron conference or association within the next year lor two, as appears likely, it is never- theless a fact that their current sched- ule-making reflects strong mutual in- terest, from the standpoint of com- Petition as well as policies. It can be said with authority that while no intention exists now to bring about iron-clad agreements, there is an understanding that rotating sched- ules will bring the seven universities— Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Har- vard, Pennsylvania, Princeton and Yale—into consistently closer relation- ship in football. Thus Princeton, its breach with Harvard healed last fall, will resume ‘with Pennsylvania on the gridiron this year after a 40-year break. The Tigers will play five games within this “conference” group next season, in- cluding Cornell, Dartmouth and Yale. Cornell and Princeton will not play in 1936, owing to a failure to agree on a date, but from New Haven comes the interesting information that Yale and Cornell have discussed the possibil- ities of establishing football relations in the near future. Yale has completed its 1936 slate, except for the opening game, so that it is unlikely the Elis and Ithacans will meet at New Haven before 1937. The only time Yale and Cornell played was in 1889.

D., Jan. 10.—For the second consecutive year every member of the University of North Dakota basketball team—regular as well as reserve—is a native of North ‘Dakota, and if this season's team can do as well as last year's, Coach Letich will be well pleased. The 1933-34 team won the North Central confer- ence championship. Bismarck, Grafton, and Fargo each contributed two players, while Grand Forks, Crary, Lankin, Park River, and Si ‘Ullin have one representative each. From Bismarck come Bob “Casey” Finnegan, sensational sophomore for- ward, and Harold Tait, reserve. Cap- tain Weston Booth is the only mem- ber of the squad who played high school basketball in Grand Forks, al- though Emmet Birk, former Park River star, and Sheldon Pond, former Crary luminary, now make their homes in Grand Forks. Two of Coach Letich’s guards, Gor- don Aamoth and Jack Charbonneau, come from Fargo while Lankin pro- duced Herman Witasek, the team’s I scorer.
