10 ‘THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 1936 Demons Repel St. Drake Conquers Nodaks, 49-46; Gophers Eliminate Carroll College, 40-26 Ghosts Will Attempt to Unravel Trotters’ ‘Black Magic’ Tonight HARRIS REBUILDS WASHINGTON CLUB AROUND THREE VETERANS MGUINESS, BEALL, TAVISPACR HANS CAGRS WN TRU Grafton-Devils Lake Game To- night to Complete Field for Cage Classic WINNERS SHOW STRENGTH Helbling and Entringer Turn in Best Performances for i Parochials Exhibiting a powerful brand of of- fensive play, Coach Glenn Hanna's Demons successfully defended their right to enter the North Dakota Class A ‘high school basketball tournament by trouncing St. Mary's in the chal- lenge game Thursday night on the Memorial building floor, 41-13. Bismarck now joins 10 other state prep teams in the major division and thé entire field will be complete to- night when the outcome of the Graf- ton-Devils Lake challenge game at|’ Larimore is known. The Demons’ high-scoring forward wall, featuring Bob Tavis, Buddy Beall and “Peck” McGuiness, paced the Maroon and White club to a 17-1 Jead in the first quarter and from that point on the outcome was never in doubt. Acutely aware of the fact that they were playing for high stakes, the Saints gave an erratic exhibition and found it extremely difficult to con- ne¢t with the hoop, even at close range. Saints Over-Anxicus Hanna’s tight zone defense, they ‘were over-anxious and threw the ball away or allowed the Demons to gain probably will be Whitehill, Ed. Linke possession with poorly-directed passes. Just the opposite with the Demons, whose performance, particularly dur- ing the first half, stamped them as dangerous tournament foes. They made good use of their superior height, working the ball in close be- fore letting fly at the basket and then following in to count several times on rebounds. After both sides had missed tries at the foul line, Tavis finally drew first blood by bagging a pair of free throws about a minute and a half af- ter the starting whistle. That wa; the signal for the Maroon and White to go into action and they had piled up 12 points before Pete Fischer put the parochial club on the boards with a free throw. St. Mary's tried in vain to rally their forces but they trailed 17-1 at the end of the quarter and although they showed to much better advantage during the second period were still behind at the intermission, 24-6. Starting Five Clicks Hanna started McGuiness, Tavis, Beall, Peterson and Lips and later substituted Abbott, Bowers and Elof- son without noticeably weakening his offense. Bob Peterson, playing his first full game in three weeks, turned in a bang-up defensive performance nd the work of Evan Lips at the other back court position left no doubt but what the rapidly improving guard will see plenty of action in the tour- nament. Tavis garnered 11 points on three field goals and five free throws out of | seven chances for top scoring honors, followed closely by Beall with 10 and McGuiness with seven. Art Helbling, although he went out in the fourth quarter with four per- sonals as did Andy Anderson, and Maynard Entringer, just recently up from the reserve ranks, turned in the best performances for Si. Mary's. Helbling bagged a pair of field goals in the first half to lead the Saint scoring and Entringer had several fine stops to his credit before the game ‘was over. Nicky Schneider, diminutive Saint jooter, was held without a single point through the stellar de- fensive work of Peterson. ‘ 0 Helbling, f 2 Ander'n, ¢ tes someon! ‘av!

Cliff Bolton, a powerful hitter, doesn’t satisfy Harris on defense and a trade may be made to plug the spot. The Senators should have plenty of power at the plate with Myer, Powell, Travis and Kuhel doing the biggest part of the work. 9 Scores Service Electrict and Regulatory, Department won two out of three; games from the Junior Association of Commerce and Dakota National Bank teams, respectively, League games rolled Thursday night. | Jack Sparks for the bank crew top-| in Commercial ; —+ i Battles for Title a Jock McAvoy ee # Lewis Defends Crown Tonight Cdds Favor English Challenger to Whip Light-Heavy- weight Champion New York, March 13,.—(#)—John Henry Lewis, light heavyweight champion of the world, climbs through the ropes of Madison Square Garden ring tonight to defend his crown ‘against Jock McAvoy of England, ablest of his nation in many a day.

The Gophers were too strong for Carroll college, and vanquished the Waukesha, Wis., team, 40 to 26, in one semi-finals contest Thursday night. In the other, Drake got a big scare before eliminating North Dakota uni- versity, 49 to 46, with the Grand Forks team scoring 32 points in the second half to 22 for the winners. Minnesota, paced by little Dick See- bach, guard, who got 11 points, took a comfortable 17 to 11 lead at the half. With the North Dakota team shoot- ing miserably in the first half, Drake ran up a 27 to 14 advantage at the intermission. The Nodaks showed signs of getting onto their game early in the second half, but before they really got go- ing, the Des Moines quint had amassed a 36-17 lead with, 13 minutes to play.

Greenberg was reported “out ‘of town temporarily” the day after club owner Walter O. Briggs of the Tigers announced his new bonus plan. Chapman, still a determined hold- out, has been practicing with the Birmingham club so as to be in con- dition while the other unsigned Yan- kee, Charley Ruffing, has begun to wonder when Col.
