10 Minot TIRED DEMONS PUT UP STUBBORN FIGHT; FINAL SCORE, 24-19 Fargo Upsets Valley City to Win Third Place in Class A Tournament | { ERNOLF ROLAND SETS PACE Grand Forks Turns Back Wahpeton to Capture Con- , solation Championship Harley Robertson's Magicians were back at Minot Monday with the 1936 state Class A high school basketball championship tucked safely away un- til next year. The Magicians located the one vul- nerable spot in Bismarck’s zone de- fense and hammered away at it con- stantly to add the basketball title tu the football championship, won last fall, in the final of the state tourna- ment here Saturday. The score of the final game was 24 to 19. The opening was on the two ex- treme sides of the basketball court and five of the six shots pitched through the hoop by Ernolf Roland, Minot forward, were tallied from thai usually difficult area, four of them coming in the first half to help the Magicians to an 11-8 lead at that juncture. It was Minot’s third championship in the 23-year history of the tourna- ment, the preceding one being in 1934 after 17 years had elapsed since the first. Fargo Places Third In third place behind the runner-up Bismarck quint was Fargo which pushed Valley City’s Hi-Liners into fourth position with a surprising 26- 23 victory in the preliminary game. Grand Forks annexed the consolation championship, defeating Wahpeton 17-14.

Hanna, the only mentor ever to win two successive Minnesota cage titles as coach of the Moorhead Spuds, ably tutored the aggressive Demon quint. which fought its way into the cham- pionship game through the toughest of the two tournament brackets. The Capital City club lost tha’ | final game, chiefly through the heavy demand made on their physical strength in eliminating the top-rank- ing Wahpeton, Dickinson and Valley City quints in the previous rounds. It was no disgrace to lose that finai game for every member of the squad turned in a bang-up exhibition and pressed the fresher Minot quint ail the way despite their physical weari- ness. Given Only Outside Chance ! The Demons went into the tourna- | ment with only an outside chance of going through to the final game, but they possessed the supreme courage and will-to-win of any great tourna- ment team and battled through to victories over three seeded opponents | before succumbing in the final game. Through the fate of the draw, Bis- marck, Valley City, Dickinson and Wahpeton—four of the five strongest teams on the basis of their season's records—were placed in the lower bracket. Hanna started out the season with only three lettermen from last year. They were James McGuiness, captain and forward; Buddy Beall, forward or guard, and Bob Peterson, guard or center. final round that saw Glenn Hanna's Demons out-fight the Hi-Liners to win a 27-25 victory in a close strug- gle and Minot take a 23-14 victory from Fargo in easier fashion.

Beall broke away for three baskets in the first half which with “Peck” McGuiness’ field goal constituted the Demons’ scoring in the first half, and Tavis came through with four from the floor in the final two periods. Roland divided the scoring burden with Bud Monnes, stellar Minot guard, with Arnold Alger contributing a bang-up defensive game. The work of Evan Lips and Bob Peterson, guards, nullified the reputed scoring strength of Minot’s two six-footers— James Eide and Fred Gran—who only garnered five points between them. It was a clean game from start to finish with only nine fouls called through the game, four on Minot and the rest on Bismarck. Acting Gov. Walter Welford tossed in the ball to touch off the cham- pionship encounter. Bismarck got the tip off, lost the ‘ball on a rebound but Monnes fum- bled and after the ball changed hands quickly on numerous unsuc- cessful tries by both teams, Gran followed in Roland's try to draw first blood, Beall feinted and pitched in the tying counter. The teams settled down to steadier play and after Alger broke up, two Bismarck thrusts, Roland tossed a» couple of unsuccessful ones as the quarter ended two and two. Roland Hits Twice Gran grabbed Roland’s rebound and passed back to the redhead who pitched in a nice one from the side. Beall intercepted a pass, passed to ‘Tavis to McGuiness who tied the score. A one handed shot by Beall put Bismarck ahead but Roland again evened it from the corner. Monnes got a free throw, Roland hit again and Beall cut the lead down to 9-8 before Roland swished another through the netting. ‘Tavis put Bismarck ahead and Lips’ omores. From the reserve members of the varsity squad, only Ray Yeasley will be lost by graduation. Back for an- other year's competition will be Harry Rishworth, Clayton Welch, Jim Burckhardt and Charles Connor. Bemidji Will Honor Minnesota Titlists! Minneapolis, March 23.—()}—Bemi- dji Monday was preparing to pay tribute to its high school basketball team which Saturday night achieved the ambition of winning the state title. The winning team arrived home Sunday and was serenaded through the streets of the community by the high school band. Bemidji won the title by downing a stubborn Wadena quint 26-20 in the finals of the state high school bas- ketball championship in the Minneap- olis auditorium and prior to that had won from Albert Lea and Red Wing. cess fell on the shoulders of Captain Norman Galloway who showed the way to his mates by scoring 16 points.

Official announcement that the Class A tournament would revert to an eight-team affair in 1937 was made by members of the state board of control following two meetings held Saturday. While no official action was taken; on next year’s tournament, the board agreed that the experiment with a 12-team, three-day event was not en- tirely successful and would be aban- doned. Two Plans Considered Several tentative plans were sub- mitted in regard to challenge games, through which Class B schools would be given an opportunity to enter the major tournament, but the board withheld final decision until next week when they will meet again at Valley City, during the state Class B event. Two general plans were submitted for running off the challenge games. One was to pick out the eight largest schools on an enrollment basis and permit free challenge by any Class B school. Arguments against such a system were that the weaker schools would be forced to play what would amount to another tournament before coming to the state, and the expense of bringing together two widely sepa- rated quints for a challenge game would be great. The other plan considered was to divide the state into four districts, pick out the two best teams in each district and name a third, which would have the privilege of challeng- ing either of the other two. Through such a system, the board would hope to bring the eight strongest teams together in the state event and elim- inate the possibility of too many chal- lenges, involving unnecessary expense. The sentiment of the board was generally opposed to the three-day tournament, but official action in this regard was also withheld. | WINS MINNESOTA TITLE Minneapdlis, March 2.—(#)—The ‘Minneapolis Wheaties sextet Sunday night won the Minnesota A.

Thanks mainly to the startling prowess developed by the American Negro in the two jumps, this country is better equipped to meet all chal- lenges than ever before. The hop, skip and jump is another story. Japan is expected to furnish the main opposition for the U.S. A. The Nipponese, naturally agile or acrobatic, have developed amazingly effective technique. Japs to Challenge Latest information from Tokio in- dicates at least two high jumpers cap- able of doing 6 feet 7 inches; two 14- foot vaulters, including Nishida, the 1932 Olympic runner-up; and a brace of broad jumpers doing 26 feet or bet- ter, including Chuhei Nambu, listed record-holder for both the broad jump and the hop- step and jump. The “triple jump” come from Louis- jana. They include Roland Romeo, Dudley Wilkins and Billy Brown, all capable of 90 feet. ‘There's every reason to expect our high jumpers to monopolize the Olym- pics.

In 1934, he won 30 while losing seven, and beat Detroit in two world series games. Sports Round-Up!
