MANDAN'S STANDING UP AFTER HOLDING MIDGETS IN CHECK {mp-Papoose Preliminary and Dedication Program Will Precede Game M’MAHAN’S FIVE | lide Hanna Drills Local Quint Hard in Effort to Recover Lost Confidence Supremacy in the traditional inter- city basketball rivalry will be at stake here Friday night when Bismarck’s Maroon and White quint clashes with the Mandan Braves on the hardwood Zloor of the new high school gym- nasium. Neither team has an undefeated yecord to protect and neither has a top-ranking position in state Class A circles to be justified, but both will be in there battling from the open- 3ng whistle for the victory that prob- ably means more to the two rival fol- Jowings than any other single tri- ‘mph during the cage season. Developments over last week-end threw an entirely different light on the first of the annual two-game se- ries which previously had been re- garded as a walk-away for the Demons. Beaten by Midgets Coach Charles Denton’s Dickinson Midgets handed each team a set- back, but the Braves forced the west- erners into an overtime period before @ropping a 19-17 verdict. Saturday night the Midgets rallied in the final period to defeat the Demons, 19-16, Closeness of the scores in those two games served as a warning to Bis- marck fans that all will not be easy ‘when the two quints tangle here. Despite the fact that the across- the-Missouri squad has lost six of eight starts this season, winning only from Glendive, Mont., and Glen Ullin, ‘Mandan fans are not in the least bit pessimistic. They insist that when Coach Leonard McMahan’s cagers hit their stride they. will be hard to beat. With his squad hard hit by the eight semester rule and the age limit, McMahan was forced to build his team from inexperienced material. ‘The Braves lost twice to New Salem, ‘and once each to Valley City, Dick- inson, Minot and St. Mary’s but have shown marked improvement in each game and may surprise the Demons. Off to Flying Start Contrary to this, Coach Glenn Hanna’s squad started the season with | ® burst of speed, burying Hebron and Linton under large scores before the Christmas holidays. Reopening the season after New) Year's, however, the Demons bowed to the strong Valley City five, scored @ victory over St. Mary's and then lost to Dickinson.

ENDANGER POPULAR ALL-AMBRICA’S JOB lait Dobie May Lose Post in Gen- eral Reorganization of Football Setup New York, Jan. 23.—(4)—Gil Dobie’s future, if any, as Cornell’s head foot- ball coach isn’t the only athletic sub- ject agitating the collegiate “hot stove league” in the snow clad section of upper New York state. Lately there has been some outcry for Vic Hanson’s scalp at Syracuse, where the failure of teams coached by the former’all-America end to beat their arch-rival, Colgate, is an irri- tating factor among followers of the orange. Hanson’s support is considered so strong, his personal popularity among the athletes so great, that criticism of his regime may not go very far for| the time being. The youthful Orange | coach, bested annually by Colgate’s veteran Andy Kerr in the annual up- state “big game,” nevertheless knows what the anvil chorus sounds like. The situation in which he finds himself is typical of American foot- ball, where the ability of the non- combatants to “take it” is sharply lim- ited. Took Annual Licking Hanson has been head coach at Syracuse for the past six years after gaining a spectacular reputation as an end. In that same period the Orange has taken an annual licking from its Maroon neighbors. Dobie’s position at Cornell remains uncertain but the signs now point to the exit of the veteran scot from the domain he has ruled since 1920. Cor- nell, in short, contemplates a thorough reorganization of its foot- ball setup as part of the new athletic administrative program. Dobie’s football’ contract has two years more to run but an adjustment will be made so far as this is con- cerned if it is decided to replace him this year. So far the so-called “sentiment sounding” canvass of Cornell grad- uates, as well as undergraduates, has developed pronounced opposition to Dobie’s retention although most foot- ball men, at the same time, feel that Cornell’s gridiron decline is traceable directly to a shortage of good mater- ial, rather than any technical short- comings on Dobie’s part.

Sing Sing Grooms Pitts’ Successor Cribbins Races Back Kickoff for Touchdown Against New Rochelle Pros Ossining, N. Y., Jan. 23—(7)— “Watch Cribbins!” ie ‘That's the word from Gerald Cur- tin, athletic director of Sing Sing prison. Nini Cribbins is the 23-year-old who is expected to become another “Alabama Pitts’ when the football wars return to Ossining next fall. Until last season he had never held ® football in his hand, but great nat- ural ability and exceptional speed gave him the call over more experienced players. “The 170-pound flash celebrated his rise to the varsity by taking a kick- off and racing 96 yards for a touch- down against the powerful New Ro- chelle professionals. He also shares the kicking assign- ments with Arthur Nelson, who alter- nates between end and quarter-back. Not only in football does Cribbins hope to emulate Pitts. He is a base- baller, playing center field, the post- tion Pitts himself -held down before “graduating.” Cribbins’ other distinctions include his record in the dashes. He is Sing Sing's “fastest human.” 37 Nations to Send Boxers to Olympics Berlin, Jan. 23—(#)—The Olympic boxing -competition here next Aug- ‘ust 10-15 will be the biggest competi- tion ever staged in fistic history. ‘Approximately 218 boxers from 37,! nations will fight for Olympic titles, according to Arthur Kankovsky, sec- retary of the International Amateur Boxing Federation. ‘These scene of the contests is to be the giant ‘“Deutschlandhalle” accommodates 25,000 spectators.
