GROONQUIST SCORES WINNING FIELD GOAL As Locals Turn Back Threat Of Class B Quint orable Light for Coming Class A Tournament Coach Roy McLeod's Demons rose to magnificent heights here Friday night, rallied to pull into a tie in the fourth quarter after trailing the rangy ‘Wahpeton class B quint most of the way and scampered off with @ 31 to 29 victory when Neil Croon- Quist sank a long toss in the second overtime period. Croonquist, whose brilliant floor Play was the outstanding feature of the game, capped a remarkable per- formance with the winning field goal after Captain B'lly Owens had knotted the count in the last half-minute of Play in the regular game. It was the inability of the Wop defense to stop the speedy Bismarck forward and guard that eventually spelled their first defeat against class A compe- tition. ‘The triumph places the Demons in & favorable light as far as state tournament play is concerned, mainly because of the formidable record the Wops have compiled. Wahpeton this season has chalked up victories over Grand Forks, Fargo. and Jamestown ‘and has an even break in home-and- home series games with Grafton and Fairmount, two of the state's out- standing class B quints. Tt was the third narrow win for the Demons, who defeated the Dick- inson Midgets and the Mandan Braves on one-point margins earlier in the season. Owens Cuts Early Lead The veteran Owens, guard on the Bismarck team, kept the locals in the Tunning during the first half when the Wops threatened to continue their domination of North Dakota's major teams by piling up a sizeable advantage. The Wops jumped to an early four- point lead on a field goal by Lafour- raise, guard, and two free throws by Napavnik, elongated center. Owens’ two buckets and a free throw by Ollie Sorsdahl helped Bismarck’s cause but a field goal and a gift shot by Napavnik and baskets by Rife and Lafournaise gave the invaders an 11 to 5 advantage at the end of the first IN SECOND OVERTIME Bismarck Forward Outstanding WOPS LEAD 16-13 AT HALF Victory Places Demons in Fav- a | Demon Five Dampens ‘Wild round fe Thursda: dropped offer.

First Overtime Scoreless Neither team scored in the first overtime period but in the second extra stanza Croonquist again reg- istered a field goal and the game was won. Scoring honors were evenly divided between Rife and Croonquist. Each was credited with six field goals and free throw for 13 points. Owens was second high-point man with four baskets from the flocr. Fighting with a spirit that just would not accept defeat. the Demons showed a better passing game and had more success with their shots than on previous appearances. The guarding of Owens and Beall, the all- around floor play and shooting of Croonquist and the steady work of Sorsdahl in the “hole and McGuiness at forward were highly pleasing to the local fans. standing performers in the visitors’ lineup. Napavnik used his height to great effect but went out late in the fourth quarter with four personals. The summary: Bismarck (31) McGuiness, f Cameron, f . Sorsdahl, c . Beall, g . Owens, g .

C. Herd: Fargo, Mar. 2—(7)—The University of North Dakota won its second suc- cessive North Central Conference basketball championship here Friday night as the Sioux turned back the North Dakota Agricultural college for a third straight time, 33-25. The Sioux won both games of the series at Grand Forks last week. The contest was played before ap- proximately 3,500 persons, the largest throng ever to witness a contest be- tween these two rivals. r For 37 minutes it was a close ball game, with the Sioux leading by only three points. Then the Bison cracked and the Sioux won about as they Pleased. It was 12-10 for the Sioux at the half. The expert scoring of Emmett Birk, sophomore forward, who bagged seven field goals, was the margin of dif- ference between the two teams. Marquardt Paces Herd Capt. Bud Marquardt led the A. C. scoring attack with five field goals and a free throw, while Acey Olson, with four field goals and a free throw, was second in line. Defensively the strong play of Curt Denenny, who re- stricted Herman Witasek, the ace scorer of the Sioux, to two field goals, stood out. He was important in the effectiveness of the Bison under both bankboards. Jack Charbonneau, guard who re- placed Gordy Aamoth, who accumu- a lated three personals in the first half, was only a step behind Witasek in effectiveness. Witasek, while failing to score heavily, was effective in ;some expert floor play and also was a valuable cog in the defensive suc- cess of the Sioux. The two teams play the final game of their series here Saturday night. jmidway in the fourth period and jthen went on to chalk up a con- VISITORS OVERCOME LOCALS’ LEAD WITH LAST PERIOD RALLY Rangy Forward for Touring Quint Registers 13 Points During Second Half SHAEFFER IS HIGH SCORER Meinhover Paces Capital City Independents; Teams Play Here at 8 P. M., Tonight With a display of probably the fin- est straight basketball seen on Bis- marck or Mandan hardwoods this season, Olson’s Terrible Swedes de- feated the Bismarck Phantoms, 43 to 34, in a game played at the state training school gymnasium Friday night. There was nothing fancy about the Swedes’ performance. They played orthodox basketball all the" way through but they played with a style that convinced the most skeptical of fans that they were seasoned cam- Paigners that knew all of the “ins and outs” of the game. Trailing by a scant margin most of the way, the Swedes rallied in the final quarter to pull even and pass the local independents. Shaeffer, tall forward on the rangy quint, led the last period scoring spurt that overcame the Phantoms’ advantage vincing victory. At the end of the first quarter the score was tied at six-all but in the second period with Big Ted Mein- hover, Johnny Spriggs and Ben Jacobson registering 14 points, the Phantoms pulled up at the intermis- sion with a 20 to 17 lead. The Swedes came back strong after’ the half and whittled away the Phantoms’ margin to one point before the end of the third period which found the score standing at 25 to 24.! » From that point on the invaders turned on the heat and pulled into a good lead before the final whistle sounded, Shacffer took high scoring hon- ors with 10 fieel goals and a brace of gift shots for 21 points. Six of his baskets from the floér came in the last half rally. Meinhover was high-point man for the Phantoms with six field goals and a pair of gift shots. i Harold Massmann, Harold Tait, Spriggs and Jacobson all played bang- up floor games for the Capital City team. Inability to cope with the speedy Swedes’ offense gave Shaef- fer his chances at the basket and he made all of them count. Denenny 3, Saunders, Campbell, Birk, Witasek, Charbonneau, Booth.
