M’MAHAN’S QUINT STRONG Impressive Records to Go on Block in Renewal of Tra- ditional Rivalry Superior height is expected to be a decisive factor in favor of the Bis- marck high school Demons when they battle the Mandan Braves tonight in the first of the annual maple court series between the two teams, Coach Glenn Hanna can put an en- tire team of six-footers on the floor if he. desires without imparing the defensive strength of the quint, and thus far in the season the Demons have taken full advantage of their extra inches to rack up a string of eight consecutive victories. Tonight's encounter will be played ‘on the new Memorial building floor at Mandan and will follow a game be- tween the Imps, Coach I. W. Huss’ Bismarck reserves, and the Papooses, Mandan second stringers. The pre- liminary will start at 8p. m., Bis- marck time, with the main feature acheduled to go on about one hour later. Veterans Rangy Hanna's three veteran performers— Buddy Beall, forward, Bob Tavis, center, and Captain Bob Peterson, guard — all range well over six feet while Gilbert Olson, who alternates with Jack Bowers opposite Beall, also tops the six-foot mark and Glenn Enge, first-string guard, makes the tall class complete, although he bare- ly misses the six-foot classification. Mandan’s only six-footer is Don Smith, veteran center. The rest of the team members are shorter but are exceptionally fast and from the record they have compiled this season loom as staunch foes for the Capital City quint. Hanna's quint will seek to maintain their top position among state Class A teams. The Demons top the list with eight consecutive victories fol- lowed by Minot with five and Fargo with four consecutive wins. Other Class A games throughout the state tonight will find Wahpeton at Jamestown, Moorhead at Fargo, New Salem at Dickinson, St. Leo's of Mi- Not at Williston, and Rugby at Minot.

Michigan will be favored to defeat Wisconsin on the Badger court. Wis- consin has lost three straight. Northwestern is expected to take it out on Chicago's in-and-out Maroons, but the Minnesota-Ohio State battle at Columbus should be hard-fought.

Yawkey to End All ‘Prima Donnaltis’ Works on Plan by Which Star Players Will Leave Tem- perment at Home New York, Jan. 15.—()—Cooling off with baseball's hot stovers: Tom Yawkey has not only quit tossing his bankroll around for big- name players, but he's going to take personal pains this season to see that those already on hand forget all about “prima donna-itis.” Word from the Red Sox wigwam. tells that boss Tom is working on a plan by which the temperamental members of his cast will learn to leave their temperament in the closet: at home, along with the family skele- ton and last summer's straw hat.

If he sticks this season, it will have taken Frank McGowan, the Boston Bees’ slugging prospect, 17 years of roaming around the bushes to make the big time. He’s had tryouts galore, showing up at the Philadelphia Athletics’ training camp as far back as 1922 and with the St. Louis Browns in 1928, but each time he barely lasted long enough for the Grapefruit league windup. Meantime, he’s been doing duty with such Double A organizations as Milwaukee, Kan- sas City, Minneapolis, Baltimore, and, lately, Buffalo. Napoleon Turns Back Braddock Five, 37-16 Napoleon, N.

REVIVED FIGHT GAME Foster Believes Braddock Should Have Been Made to Defend Title in ‘36 By EDWARD C. FOSTER (Executive Secrefary, the National Boxing Association Providence, R. I., Jan, 15.—()—It seems impossible to say anything about boxing during 1936 without mentioning the greatest upset of the year, the defeat of Joe Louis by Max Schmeling. Personally, I believe it was a great thing for boxing because many people had been led to believe that Louis was invincible. Schmeling’s victory proved to the whole world that this sport was on the level, and endeavor- ing to produce the best men in the various Classes. From reports coming into this of- fice, boxing is increasing in favor all over the country. It does not seem to the oid timers that today's champions are all that could be desired. In fact, there is no question but that quite a few cham- pionships will change hands during 1937, The heavyweight division is cer- tainly in chaotic condition. There is}. . no reason in the world why Jim Brad- dock should not have been compelled to defend his title within the year after he won that title, or declare publicly that it was impossible for him, owing to physical disability, to continue as champion. However, there seems to be a rain- bow in the sky, and 1937 no doubt will see the heavyweight division rep- resented by a champion who not only is capable, but willing to defend his title. My own personal hope is to see another Louis-Schmeling bout. Joe Louis Kayoes Three Negro Foes Stops Trio of Opponents in Less Than Two Rounds of Ex- hibition Fighting Minneapolis, Jan. 15. — (#) — Joe Louis, Detroit's Brown Bomber, knocked out three opponents in less than two rounds of a six-round exhi- bition match Thursday night.

Tom Jones, Chica- go, 178, managed to survive the first round, but early in the second Louis threw his famous left and the exhibi-~ tion was over. All three opponents were Negroes. Louls weighed 206. Eddie Wenstob, Edmonton, Alta., decisioned Eddie Boyle, Cleveland, O,, in six rounds. Paul Lee, Indianapolis, 124, won from Lenny Cohen, Chicago, 120, six rounds. : Max Kalbrenner, Fargo, N. D., 146, and Tony Cianciola, Milwaukee, 149, fought six rounds to a draw. Jimmie Legrone, Des Moines, 136, and Pet Robinson, Chicago, 132, drew in six rounds. Henry Schaft, 152, Minneapolis, de- feated Mat Cameric, Eau Claire, Wis., 164, in six rounds.

Red Wings Increase Puck Division Lead New York, Jan, 15.—()—The De- troit Red Wings, champions of the hockey world until someone proves otherwise, look as if they might be able to keep that title for some time. The Wings hold the lead in the league's American division as well a3 a virtual monopoly on scoring honors. And they strengthened their grasp on both Thursday night by whitewash- ing their closest rivals, the New York Rangers, 2-0. A remarkable backhand shot by the league-leading scorer, Larry Aurie, was enough to settle the argument in the first period. . but ly Kilrea doubled it in the third as a sturdy defense and goaler Norm Smith kept the Blue Shirts under control. That victory put the Red Wings four points shead in the American group. At the same time Montreal's peevish Maroons cut the lead of their local rivals, the Canadiens, to the same figure in the international sec- tion.
