D., Minnesota EDISON GAME CANCELLED Hanna Well Satisfied With Showing of Squad During Successful Road Trip Bismarck’s high school Demons ran their victory string to six consecutive games Saturday night, defeating Brainerd, Minn., 35-27, in the final encounter of a three-game road-trip. Previously they had humbled Coach Marty Engh’s Wahpeton club, 23-15, and turned back Roy Domek's Moor- head Spuds, 25-19. Paced by Captain Bob Peterson, who counted four field goals before he went out on four personals, the Demons jumped to an early lead against Brainerd and were never headed, They were ahead 14-6 at the end of the first quarter, leading 21-9 at the intermission and out in front 23-21 at the end of the third period. Bismarck’s fast deceptive passing attack completely outclassed the Brainerd contingent, although three of the Capital City veterans were forced out of the game for the maxi- mum infractions—Buddy ‘Beall in the second quarter, and Peterson and Hel- muth Clausnitzer in the fourth. Blasted Records Coach Glenn Hanna's club blasted some good records of the opposition during the three games. For the ‘Wops it was their first defeat in three years on the home floor and the ini- tial setback of the current season, and for the Spuds it was the only beating they have suffered in five starts this year. Due to the cancellation of the ten- tatively scheduled game with Edison high of Minneapolis on Dec. 30, the Demons have no games now until the tilt. with Coach Charles Denton’s Dickinson Midgets here Jan. 9. Hanna and the nine members of the squad that made the trip east re- turned here Sunday. The coach was well pleased with the way his cagers performed and was especially grati- fied by the performances turned in by the reserves. Used Reserves Freely He used all nine men in the Wahpe- ton and Moorhead games and all but one in the Brainerd contest. While Peterson and Beall garnered the lion's shares of scoring honors in the three games, Gilbert Olson, Glenn Enge, Helmuth Clausnitzer and Jack Bow- ers also demonstrated that they could be counted on for points. ‘Olson counted a pair of field goals and a brace of charity shots in the Moorhead game and looped in two more from the floor at Brainerd. Enge got one field goal at Moorhead and a pair from the floor and four free throws at Brainerd. The feat of keeping the victory string intact is all the more remark- able in view of the absence from the lineup of Bob Tavis, veteran pixe, who was forced to remain in Bis- marck because of the serious illness and death of his mother.

D. Man Second Devils Lake, N. D., Dec. 20.—(P)— Sverre Fredheim, former Olympic skier from Minneapolis, staged a record smashing performance Sunday to cap- ture the fifth annual tournament of the Lake Region Winter Sports club. Fredheim, representing the Bush Lake club, rode 212 feet on his first competitive jump for the longest ever made here. He followed Jimmy Hend- rickson of Canton, S. D., who leaped 204 feet to first eclipse the hill record of 196 feet, established last year by Eugene Wilson, Coleraine, Minn. Fredheim and Hendrickson, both team, finished ahead of George Kot- Tarek of Duluth, Minn., National champion, in Class A. Fredheim also won the award as the most graceful skier. Adolph Peterson, representing the host club, took top honors in Class B, also being named the most grace- ful skier in his class. He and Walter Lawonn of Grand Forks, N. D., second place winner, were the only riders in Class B to make two standing jumps. Donald Smith, Wahpeton, N. D., com- peting unattached, had the longest standing leap in that class, going 181 feet. John Zoberski, Ironwood, Mich., was victorious in the boys division, standing on both attempts, while Roy Laramie, Coleraine, fell on his second try after making 112 feet off a small senior class as the only entrant.

Coffman Athletic Program Is Ideal However, Some Directors Feel That Certain Phases Are Not Feasible a Chicago, Dec. 21.—(?)—Western Conference educators who would com- ment on President Lotus D. Coffman's seven-point program to counteract “perils” besetting college athletics agreed in general Monday that the Minnesota educator had outlined an ideal athletic set-up. In a section of his report, President. Coffman suggested there should be no professionalism; high scholastic standards should be maintained; ceipts ‘and reduction of athletic ex-| penses: support of athletics by en- dowment funds and free admission of students to many if not all games. Walter Dill Scott, Northwestern University, expressed himself fully in favor of athletic en- dowments, but sald the problem was to find someone willing to advance funds, Kenneth L. (Tug) Wilson, North- western athletic director, said all Big Ten schools were agreed on Dr. Coff- man’s first three points, but added that: the proposal to reduce gate re- celpts and support athletics by en- dowment would be beyond the reach of most institutions, Dr, Alexander G. Ruthven, presi- dent of the University of Michigan, recently stated in an address before Michigan alumni in Detroit that “any poet cane Label Presto its stud- ent attendance or ignor- ing its conditions of admission, but to do 80, or to hire players in order to win games, is to prostitute the ideals the Indiana faculty committee, said: “On ‘the whole, President Coffman's proposals are what we all hope for, but at present some of them are not feasible.” Sutherland Changes Panthers’ Backfield president of | Bay Sports Round-Up By SCOTTY RESTON New York, Dec. 21—(7)—The New York Giants should have an Inter- national League club in Jersey City E: by Tuesday night. +--+.

Hartnett, current “Iron Man” among the catchers, was behind the plate for the Cubs in 114 games a season for 11 years. The last seven of these 11 campaigns have’ been consecutive, from 1930 through the season ended in September.

Perhaps the standout among the new records posted was that by Al Lopez, the Boston Bees’ catcher, with but one passed ball in all 127 games he caught, eclipsing the mark of two held by five other receivers. Three Records Tied Cooney’s .994 average tied the league outfield fielding mark; Stu Martin, the Cards’ Rookie infielder, tied a league record with 11 assists by @ second-baseman in one game; Tony Cuccinello of the Bees, perform- ing in 128 double plays at second base, equalled his own league record! set while he was a member of the Cincinanti Reds’ cast in 1931. | Outside of the individual records, there was one by the Pirates, with only four passed balls for the season, equalling a loop mark, and another by the entire league, with only 65 passed balls, shattering the previous low of the 69.
