BRAVES ARE ‘PAPER’ FAVORITES T0 COP N. D. CHAMPIONSHIP Coach McMahan’s Quint Has Best Record in Games With Qualifying Teams PLAY WILL OPEN FRIDAY Grafton’s Class B Entry to Meet Fargo in Initial Game of State Classic Installation of 250 additional seats at the World War Memorial building gymnasium, boosting the total seat- ing capacity to well over the 3,000 mark, completed local arrangements Wednesday for the twenty-second an- nual North Dakota high school bas- ketball tournament which opens here Friday afternoon, Reserved seat ticket sales were re- ported by Supt. H. O. Saxvik, tourna- ment manager, to be the largest since the state classic was moved from the State Training school floor at Man- dan to the Capital City auditorium. Coaches of the cight quints enter- ed in the event concluded their heavy drills and six of the teams, Grafton, Wahpeton, Fargo, Valley City, Devils Lake and Minot are expected to start the trek to the Capital City Thursday. The other entrants, Bismarck and Mandan, will taper off with light workouts Thursday. First round pairing will pit Grafton against Fargo at 3 p. m.; Mandan versus Valley City at 4 p. m.; Wahpe- ton against Minot at 7:30 p. m., and| Devils Lake versus Bismarck at 8:30 p.m. Braves Are “Paper” Favorites Coach McMahan’s Mandan Braves, basing calculations on games played against other tournament entries, are “paper” favorites to annex the title. Losing only to the Bismarck De- mons among the tournament teams, @ quint they turned back later in the season, the Braves have chalked up four victories, the other three being over Minot, Valiey City and Wahpe- ton. Favored to come through in their first round encounter with Val- ley City, residing in the cellar posi- tion, the Braves will be forced to meet the winner of the Grafton-Fargo bat- tle in the semi-finals. A title for the Mandan five would be the first for that school in the 2l-year history of the tournament and whether they can shake off the bad streaks which were responsible this year for setbacks at the hands of St. Mary's of Bismarck and James- town’s downtrodden Bluejays, remains @ matter of conjecture. Figuring strong in the lower bracket will be Coach Harley Robert- son's defending champions from: Minot. The Magicians rank second in the summary, winning four out of seven tilts with tournament quali- fiers, Their season's record includes victories over Valley City, Bismarck and Fargo, losses to Mandan and Grafton and an even break in two games with Devils Lake. Grafton would rank third on this basis having downed Fargo, Minot, split even in a “home-and-home” series with Wahpeton and dropped two out of three games to Devils Seating Capacity at STARTING A FAVORABLE PL.

Harris with six baskets and a pair of free throws was high for the Transients but was closely followed by Raber with five from the floor and two from the free throw line. Doc Priske and Sebastian Goetz showed the way for the K. C.’s victory with 10 and nine points respectively. Altman was the outstanding per- former for the Highway team with three buckets and a free throw. The entire Bison lineup counted heavily in the scoring column but Leier, forward, was the leading point- getter with nine baskets and a free throw for 19 points. Marum and John- son were best for the Piggly Wiggly five. The last regularly-scheduled league games will be played tonight.

He underwent two operations last Friday for mastoiditis and serious jhead ailments, Numerous blood trans- | fusions failed to aid him. | Sullivan was 22 years old, the son }of Police Lieutenant Timothy Sulli- van of Queens. He was brought from South Bend on Friday, March 8, He played tackle on the Notre Dame eleven for two years and was Jone of the university’s outstanding linemen, The chronic mastoid condition with jwhich he was afflicted was compli- jeated by pneumonia and a strepto- |coccus infection. The operations were to remove @ pus development of the inner skull overlaying the brain, and {for the mastoid condition. | One of the most popular men on jthe South Bend campus, Sullivan starred in track as well as on the ‘gridiron. He put the shot for the jIrish squad, and won his first foot- [ball letter as substitute end for Ed- die Kraus, all American, in 1933. “Sullivan's place can not be filled,” ;Said Coach Elmer Layden, “we were depending on him to lead the 1935 team, and his loss to the squad is ir- reparable.” KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS, BISON, [Leslie Munns May CONFECTIONERY Fill Dodgers’ Need Season;. Dizzy to Pitch Against Babe (By the Associated Press) Orlando, Fla.—Casey Stengel, look- ing for one more righthander for his Brooklyn Dodgers’ pitching staff, thinks big Leslie Munns is the answer. Stengel hag worked patiently with Munns, teaching him a new sidearm delivery against right-handed bats- men, and the former St. Paul star's effectiveness has been much increas- ed. In his last time out, Munns shut out Baltimore with one hit over a four-inning stretch. &t. » Fla—Lou Gehrig, slugging first baseman of the New York Yankees, finally has made his first hit of the spring season.

March 20—(?)— Mapleton and Stanley, the favorites, coasted into the finals of the North ‘Dakota Independent League Class B basketball tournament here Tuesday, turning back Killdeer and Minnewau- kan. Neither team was seriously threat- ened, though Killdeer, perpetrator of a big upset Monday, had Stanley wor- ried for three quarters, then was smothered by a swarm of Cardinal baskets and fell, 51-26, Showing the best basketball of the day, Mapleton won from the Billy Goats of Minnewaukan, 38-23. ‘The plucky Killdeer team, starting slowly, was on the short end of a 10-2 score in the first quarter. But the Yellowjackets made a characteristic rally in the second and third quar- ters to threaten the Cardinals. But they could not stand the pace and the big Stanley quint ran wild in the last five minutes. Stanley led 16-11 at the half. Dur- ing the deluge late in the game, C. Johnson, Stanley center, counted six field goals. Kinoin played sensationally guard for the winners while Borrud’s clever passing and accurate basket shooting contributed materially to Stanley's victory. McDonald Stars for Killdeer The Kildeer team, averaging about a head shorter than the Card- inals, exhibited speed and a dogged defense to stay in the running for three periods. Lloyd McDonald, who coaches, and plays with the Yellowjackets, stood out for Killdeer along with Ross, guard. These two scored 18 points between them. Walt Olson, former state agricul: tural college star, southpawed Minne- waukan dizzy to lead Mapleton to vic- tory. The tall forward opened the scoring shortly after the game started and he tossed in baskets with a regu- larity that was discouraging to the opposition, He counted seven field goals and a Pair of gift shots for 16 points. Twelve minutes passed before Min- newaukan could penetrate Mapleton’s defense for a field counter. Maple- ton led 10-2 at the end of the first quarter but the Goats settled down and with Wicken and H. Mahaney connecting they emerged on the short end of a 21-10 score at the half. The big Mapleton team turned on the pressure in the third period, run- ning up & 32-14 score before the reserves were sent in, Minnewaukan rallied to outscore the Cass county quint in the last period. Wicken Leads Minnewaukan ‘Wicken, Minnewaukan guard, was the main cog on offense and defense for his team. For Mapleton, J. Warner played his usual good game at guard while Staf- farud, whose ankle still hurts him, was a defensive stalwart until re- moved early in the second half. Killdeer and Minnewaukan will Play for third place at 8:30 p. m., Wednesday and this game will be followed by the championship en- but he adds: “We forced the breaks last year, too. We came through in the tough spots because we produced the two things that count most—power and pitching. ‘The Tigers finished seven games in front of New York last year. They led both Big Leagues in hitting with fan even .300. They came up with the year's pitching sensation in Lynwood (Schoolboy) Rowe who equalled the league record with 16 consecutive victories and combined with the bril- ant Tommy Bridges to register 46 triumphs, only three short of the output of the Dean brothers. The “iron ran” infield of Hank Greenberg, Charley Gehringer, Billy Rogell and Marvin Owen played 153 games together. Outfield Is Weakness If there is any real weakness in the club's outlook it is in the outfield. The veteran Goose Goslin is still a “winning type” of player but he can hardly go another full season at top speed. Ervin (Pete) Fox, in right, has more speed than power. Jo-Jo White is not only s great centerfielder but one of the best lead- off men in the league. Lacking first class reserves, how- ¢{ever, Cochrane must rely on the erratic Gerald Walker and good-look- ing rookie, Chester Morgan, who hit .342 in the Texas league last season. To offset @ possible decline in other spots, Cochrane is concentrating on his pitching corps. He considers Rowe not only the greatest right- hander in the league but a “cinch” to win 25 games. He expects big things from Elden Auker, the young submarine ball 5 Cochrane's understudy will be Ray Hayworth, another lusty bat-swinger. Millard (Dixie) Howell, the Alabama football hero, is due for a yet seasoning in the Texas league before he bids for a spot on the varsity bench again. A new athletic stadium for Atchi- son, Kas., will have a football playing field, practice field, running track, baseball diamond and parking space for 1,500 motor cars. TIGER PENNANT WINNERS KEEP .

The defending champions cleared their initial hurdle lest night with an easy 36-25 victory over Colorado college.

Playoff in Hockey Slated This Week Season Ends With Boston, Chi- cago, New York Leading American Division New York, March 20.—(#)—Primed for the start of the playoffs Satur- day, the National Hockey League has closed the regular season of 1934-35. ‘The Toronto Maple Leafs and Mon- treal's Maroons and Canadiens in the international division, and Boston, Chicago and the New York Rangers in the American, had clinched their places In the post-season series be- fore the campaign wound up with three games Tuesday night. Toronto fattened its scoring rec- ords with a 5-3 triumph over the cellar-dwelling St. Louis Eagles, but the Maple Leafs had to turn on the steam to win their final St. Louis had tied the score. The Montreal Maroons downed the Boston Bruins, American division leaders, 4-2, and Chicago took a slow- er game from the Candiens by the same score. Toronto and Boston open a three games-out-of-five series for the Prince of Wales cup, league championship emblem, at Boston Saturday. The same night the Maroons and Chicago meet at Montreal in the opener of the two-game second-place series, decided on a total goal basis. The Rangers and Canadiens begin a sim- ilar third place series at New York ‘Sunday. Michigan State college, true to Coach Ben Van Alstyne’s pre-season promise of higher scores, achieved a higher per game average in its 1934- 35 basketball scores, but also allowed its opponents higher totals. The Spartans won 14 out of 18 games. LUDENIZE* your throat! Put a Luden’s in your mouth! Let it lay a soft, protective coat- ing on your hard-worked throat.
