ss tS TELESIS EON EOE SLE ATE: THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 1936 ‘Saints Seek Class A Berth in Clash With Demons Tonight +, MAROON AND WHITE FAVORED 10 REPEL PAROCHIAL CAGERS Game to Determine Bismarck’s State Tourney Entrant Called for 8 P. M. SQUADS AT PEAK FORM Meinhover’s Club Has Won 10, Lost 5; Hanna's Quint Copped 11 of 18 Cage stalwdrts from Bismarck and St. Mary’s high schools will battle tonight in the second of three chal- lenge games over the state through which Class B teams scek to break into the Class A tournament here next week-end. Williston has already successfully repelled Crosby in a challenge game. St. Mary’s makes a second attempt to crash into the major division to- night and Friday Grafton will seek an opportunity to defend the A crown, won last year after ousting Grand Forks, when they oppose Devils Lake at Larimore. A St. Mary’s victory tonight would be regarded as a distinct upset. In two previous encounters this season, the Maroon and White cagers turned back the parochial quint and are favorites to come through the chal- lenge game unscathed. The Saints have challenged the De- mons each year since the 1933-34 sea- the Class B club. Last year Dickin- son, now a member of the enlarged group, also bowed to the Demons after} seeking a berth in the state classic via the challenge route. Sainis at Top Strength Ted Meinhover's squad will be at top strength for the game, however, and refuse to be counted out until the final whistle has blown. The Saints have a season's record of 10 victories and five defeats, which includes two ‘triumphs over the Mandan Braves. Led by little Nicky Schneider, sharp- shooting forward, they have an ag- gregation that is hard to beat provid- ing they have an “on” night. Teamed with Schneider in the fore court will be Art Helbling with Arnold Ander- son at center, and Maynard Entringer and Dick Rausch most likely to get the starting call at guards. Ready for service will be Pete Fischer, guard or forward, Eddie Reff, forward and Johnny Fox, guard. The loss of Jim Hurning earlier in the season because of the eight semester rule hurt the Saints’ chances but Meinhover is confident that if his boys are “clicking” they can make it tough for Hanna’s club. Demons Are Ready For the first time in several weeks, the Demons will go into a game with every member of the squad in good physical condition. Bob Peterson and Helmuth Clausnitzer have both been out for all practices this week and the former will undoubtedly get the starting call in the back court tonight. Buddy Beall is expected to start with Peterson at the two guard berths, with Bob Tavis at center and Johnny Abbott and Capt. “Peck” McGuiness at forwards. Reserves will be “Fat”! Elofson, Evan Lips and Harry Rish- worth, guards and Jack Bowers and Clausnitzer, forwards. McGuiness Leads Scorers During the regular season’s play, of 18 starts and scored 499 ponts to their opponents 364. McGuiness, one of the leading scorers in the state, hhas garnered 207 points in the 18 games for an average of slightly over 12 points a game. Tavis follows with 89 points and Abbott and Beall are tied for third with 48 apiece. Only one team has succeeded in + scoring over 30 points against Han- » ma’s zone defense and that was Valley City, which won 33-31 in an overtime Tonight’s game has been called for 8 p. m., at the World War Memorial building.

The North Dakota team was sched- uled to arrive late Thursday, accom- panied by 300 rooters from Grand Forks and a 60-piece band. The Waukesha quint won 13 and lost four games in the Wisconsin In- tercollegiate Conference this season.

VIKINGS TRIUMPH Valley City, N. D., March 12.—(®)— The Valley City Teachers college quin- tet defeated Ellendale Industrial nor- Cage Quints Set; OLD FENCE BUSTERS LOOM AS ‘HITLESS WONDERS THIS YEAR Davis, Bowman, Walter, Moore, Johnson, Jorgens Form Hurling Staff Winter Haven, Fla., March 12.—(?) —Old customers are going to rub their eyes when they watch the Phila- delphia Nationals in action this year. ‘The Phillies, who for years battered down National League fences a mile from home plate, have gone in s0 strong for pitching that they threaten tc become “hitless wonders.” Manager Jimmy Wilson won’t have more than one or two sure .300 hitters on the team but he's so excited about his pitchers that he thinks his 1936 model Philly machine is capable of landing high in the second division at least. “We'll have @ great pitching staff, seven tested men who can burn that baseball over the plate,” said Jimmy, “and that’s the biggest part of the battle. Weak at the Plate “Sure, we'll be weak with the stick but it’s going to make me feel young again to strut around the circuit with a good pitching staff.” Wilson’s probable “big seven” pitch- ing staff will consist of six who have had at least one year’s experience in the major league and a rookie, Hal Helleher of Hazelton, Pa. a six foot right hander. The six are Curt Davis, Joe Bow- man, Bucky Walter (Bucky’s dropped the “8” from his last name this year), duel Moore, Sylvester Johnson and Orville Jorgens. Last season, the Phils rarely had more than two regular pitchers well enough to start a game, winding up in seventh. place. Infield Strong Defensively The infield rates strong defensive- ly but weak on offense. Dolph Camilli is a fixture at first with Jose Gomez at second and Johnny Vergez, on the bench at present with a sprained ankle, at third. Shortstop is the big problem, Wilson is strong for Leo Norris, tained from Minneapolis where he batted .290 last season. There are no more Chuck Kleins in the Philly infield but there should be plenty of speed and defensive class. Lou Chiozza, converted from an in- fielder, is starring in the daily drills. Catching apperently is well forti- fied with Wilson, himself, and Earl Grace, who says he never was given a real chance to learn much about backstopping until Pittsburgh sent him under Wilson's wing. Decoys of Migratory Birds Sought in N. D. The North Dakota game and fish department is considering a plan to decoy migrating Canadian geese into establishing homes in this state dur- ing the breeding season. “A few pair of pinioned birds lib- erated in a fenced inclosure in a sanctuary carefully selected for en- vironments suitable to the needs and habits of the Canada goose, would without doubt soon decoy migrating birds,” State Commissioner Peterson declared. Should such a place prove suffici- ently attractive to the migrating honkers, he predicted they might pos- sibly remain for the breeding season and in turn induce others to come. “Having .once nested in this state in comparatively large numbers, may we not again hope to have these highly prized game birds remain here for the breeding season?” he asked. The Canada goose has largely dis- appeared from its southern breeding range, he explained.

He takes the’mound every time he gets a chance, runs around the park, does individual setting up exercises and takes part in Pepper games. His pitching this spring has reflected the extra effort to get into condition. Klein’s Toggery, undefeated in three tournament games, will play the Montgomery Ward quint for the championship of the City League Monday night. Klein's remained unbeaten Wednes- day night with a 45-13 victory over the Capitol Theatre five while the Ward team stayed in the running for the title through a 38-32 triumph over the Knights of Columbus. The K. C. and Capitol Theatre quints will battle for third place also Monday. Jumping to a 16-9 lead at the half, the Toggery cagers used a fast break effectively to penetrate the Theatre team’s zone defense and put Johnny Yeasley in the clear for 11 buckets from the floor to which he added three free throws for top scoring hon- ors. Kenney Lawster and Doc Herr were the best performers for the Cap- itol Theatre. Leir, center, and Cliff Morlan and Moellering, forwards, set a fast pace for the Ward quint and they gained @ 26-15 margin at the halftime and held an edge despite a closing K. C. rally.
