There were no decided favorites on » the basis of season's records but the , followers of the contending teams who flocked into the Capital City on the heels of the squads were ready with plenty of sound reasons to show why their team was going to come | through. Two of Last Year’s All-Staters Return Don Pepke, star guard on Mi- not’s defending champions, and Billy Owens, captain and guard of | the Demons, are the only two Players winning berths on the all- State selections in 1934 to return this year to play in the state cage | classic. Pepke was named to the first team last year and Owens was se- lected for one of the guard posts on the second five. In all there are just 19 players, in addition to Pepke and Owens, who were members of the tourna- | ment squads last year and will be back in the lineups. They are | Bill Burckhard, Vernon Melhouse, Ralph Jensen, Fobert Gilliland | and Gordon Dennis, Devils Lake; Tom Mackenroth, Minot; Arthur Clson, Fargo; Donald Gibson, Sig- vi Erickson, Bill McCosh, Valley Ralph Fer . and James Mc- Guiness, Johny Cameron, Russell Kanz, Vernon Hedstrom, and Ollie Sorsdahl, Bismarck. i | | | | | With every outfit, on the basis of Past performances and providing they are playing the best brand of ball of! which they are capable, considered tqual to the task of upsetting their first round opponents, the tourna-, ment his year has assumed a “wide-!

Grafton Rated High From the northern part of the state} ame the veteran Grafton team.| coached by Leo Schweinfurt, non-de- fending Class B champions and vic- tors over Grand Forks in their chal-| lenge game.

Schweinfurt if he uses his regular, starting lineup will have Whalen and Bud LaBerge in the fore court, Paul Johnson at pivot and Lloyd Everson and Jim Maxwell in the guard posi- tions, Always a tough tournament team, Coach Henry Rice's Gate City quint are bent on returning the state trophy to Fargo where it has been held seven times since the first event in 1914.; Art Olson, captain and guard, will ead the Midgets into the fray with Carl White, Cavour Shepherd, Murray Weible and Bud Dosen probably occu- pying the other starting berths, Playing in the second jame of the upper bracket will be the Mandan Braves from across the Missouri river and Coach Joe Rognstad’s Hi-Liners from Valley City. ‘The McMahon-tutored athletes are favored to advance safely to the semi- finals, principally because of a set- back they handed the Hi-Liners in an early season game and recent vic- tories over Bismarck, Minot and Wahpeton. Carrying the brunt of the Mandan attack will be Ralph Fer- derer, Leonard Farr, Jack Shinners, Bill Ordway and Roy Geiger.

Tournament May Find Himself Eliminated RUMORS ARE DISQUIETING Carnera, Victor Over Giant Im: pellittiere, to Meet To- night’s Winner . New York, March 22.—(#)—Madi- son Square Garden's latest heavy- weight elimination tournament will move another faltering step forward Friday night with Art Lasky and Jimmy Braddock earnestly endeavor- ing to eliminate one another in a 15- Tound bout. i Coincident with the arrival from abroad of Joe Jacobs, American man- ager of Max Schmeling, there were rumors that Schmeling, on the strength of his technical knockout victories over Walter Neusel and Steve Hamas, already is matched with Max Baer for a title fight in June. Those rumors proved not a little disquieting to the tournament compe- titors. If a Baer-Schmeling battle already is arranged, the ultimate survivor of the Garden tournament might dis- cover that not only had he eliminated all his rivals but himself had been eliminated. ! Jimmy Johnston, Garden boxing impresario, insists, however, that the Garden hasn't decided yet who Baer will fight and that the tournament will proceed as scheduled. Prirro Carnera, who eliminated Ray Impellittiere last week, is sup+ Posed to mest the winner of Friday night's fight before the indoor sea- son winds up. After that, Johnston says, the Garden hopes to persuade Jacobs to tess Schmeling in there against the tournament survivor. Lasky, a 2 to 1 favorite over Brad- docx, presumably was eliminated some months ago when he dropped a close, disputed decision to Hamas. But the Minneapolis youngster was restored to the lists, there to remain until, and if, he be more sum- marily climinated.

Orlando, Fla.—Despite the ability of Al Lopez behind the bat it looks as if the Dodgers might have trouble keeping Gordon (Bimp) Phelps out of action this season. Adding to his previous batting feats, the 230-pound catcher knocked the longest homer ever hit out of Conrad Park at De- land in Thussday’s game against Min- neapolis. The ball cleared the 40-foot center field wall 381 feet from the plate. Lakeland, Fla—The 1934 world series battle between Detroit and 8t. Louis will be revived here Friday when the Tigers and the Cards meet in an exhibition game. Paul Dean, who knocked the Tigers off twice in the series, is slated to pitch for Frankie Frisch's crew. Mickey Coch- rane is undecided on mound choices. St. Petersburg, Fla.—The Braves are making history. Since the begin- ning of the training camp season they have played before some 25,000 cash customers—which means that for the first time in tribal history they are certain of having their training ex- penses paid before the regular sea- son gets underway. Another crowd was looked for at Waterfront Park Friday as the tribesmen meet their American League brethren, the Red ‘|Sox. Babe Ruth voiced his notice that his old teammates—the Yanks —drew 364 paid admissions at Tampa against the Reds Wednesday and less than 550 at St. Pete Thursday, while the tribe drew 6,467 to Waterfront Park and 3,120 to Lakeland.
