The foresters finally solved the problem by loading Jerry onto a ‘truck and transporting him to another district. By clipping metal tags on the deer the foresters hope to be able to ac- count for the seasonal movement of the animals in the forest.

ITS FOLLY, LEAVING £ HOOPLE % AT BEDTIME LIKE 4g PAYING FOR "RATTLE: LABEL ! Ys Wee KAN ‘B’, CONSOLIDATED QUINTS LAND TWO IT SE Minot’s Great Guard Wins Cap- taincy With Decisive Mar- gin of Votes (By the Associated Press) Twenty-three coaches named five Class A players ‘to the 1935-36 North| Dakota all-state high school basket- ball team. One player each from consolidated and Class B leagues was named on! the second all-state aggregation as the result of tied votes for two of the positions, five Class A cagers round- ing out the seven-man squad. Mentors selected the following all- star five: Donald Gibson, forward. Fred Gran, Minot, forward. James McGuiness, Bismarck, center. Bernard Monnes, Minot, guard. Harvey Rife, Wahpeton, guard. Picked for their “team-work” char- acteristics and all-around ability, the quintet comprises home of the state’s ace shot-makers, three of them—Gib- son, McGuiness and Rife—leaders in high scorer rankings. Members of the second all-state Valley City, are: Forwards—Lawrence Laberge, Pat- rick Langstaff, Tokio, and Ernolf Roland, Minot. Center—Paul Johnson, Grafton. Guards—Sig Erickson, Valley City; j Louis Beall, Bismarck and Paul Mc- Cloud, Maddock Aggies. Monnes Awarded Captaincy “Bud” Monnes, co-captain of Mi- not’s state champions, won the cap- taincy of the all-star team through a barrage of votes that gave him the most decisive margin of any player nominated. He was praised as a leader and in- | spiration of a fine team; won plaudits for his clever guarding, fine dribbling, accurate shooting and passing. A cool; steady, player, he was a great competitor. Shifted from his normal forward position, Rife who filled that berth on the 1934-35 all-state, was awarded the other guard. He earned a posi- tion despite a late season illness that contributed to the Wahpeton slump at the end of the season. Pivot post went to McGuiness for his speed, competent guarding and harrying of opposing offenses.

Gibson, Gran Paired Speedy Gibson was effective both defensively and offensively and was considered an especial threat for his scoring ease from any area of the floor. Paired with him at forward was Minot’s lanky Gran, 6 feet 3% inches tall, who aided the Magicians in controlling the ball, was an excel- lent passer and used his height to good advantage in tipping in follow- up shots. ‘On the second-team is another of last year's first five all-state men, Johnson, at center; his team-mate Laberge, at forward, and Erickson, Valley City, at guard. For the re- maining forward berth, Langstaff of Tokio, a member of the consolidated league, was tied wtih “Red” Roland while another tie developed for the other guard, a Class B man, McCloud, getting the same number of votes as Bismarck's Beall. Get Honorable Mention With approximately the same num- ber of votes by Class A coaches as by coaches outside that group, the pre- ponderance of Class A representatives on the all-state resulted from “straight-ticket” balloting by the larger schools while Class B and con- solidated schools scattered their choices. Among players receiving honorable mention were: Forwards — Art Nelson, Lakott Dykes, Fairmount; Allen, Minot Model; Mikkleson, Starkweather; Rood, Grand Forks. Center — Stefonowicz, Lakota; Ta- vis, Bismarck; Anderson, Devils Lake; Tanberg, Dickinson. Guard—Nokelby, Northwood; Jam- erson, Fort Yates; Wilhelm, Arthur; Joyce, Crosby; Lafournaise, Wahpe- ton; Gilliland, Devils Lake; Ingstad, Jamestown; Bye, Grand Forks; Deegan, Tokio, and Kjelmer, Leeds.

D., April 9.—(@)— Hildebrand, Coach Joe Rognstad of Valley City school favors the athletic conference idea for some of the larger schools in North Dakota. A conference of the right type and size would be a distinct asset to the member schools though a state loop of 12 schools would be impractical he said. Experience has shown that or- ganizations of this size are unwiel and difficult to manage, he said. The Hi-liner mentor believes that @ conference of eight schools would be interesting and profitable. “Play in such a conference would not determine the state championship and would not interfere with the state tournament which has popular wih the fans but it would give the schools something to play for other than the state tournament. I have known of coaches who have deliberately lost some games during the season in order, they thought, to strengthen their team for tournament play, a condition which certainly is not a healthy one” he said. “Round robin schedules could be adopted which would eliminate bick- ering in drawing up schedules. A con- ference could improve the officiating by examining and approving a list of competent officials, and also definite standards could be adopted,” he added. o¢—_____________-_@ " ry | Fights Last Night | ee (By the Associated Press) Neww York—Teny Cansonert, 136%, New York, outpointed Jehn- one for milk production.
