TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1987_ aa Sioux Cagers Convincing in 48-25 Triumph Over Phantoms LETICH ALTERNATES TWO FIVES AGAINST GITY INDEPENDENTS Bob Finnegan Sets Scoring Pace With Five Field Goals, Two Free Throws HELD 20-12 LEAD AT HALF Meinhover, Sorsdahl, Eddie Spriggs, Olson Look Best of Capital Citians North Dakota university's basket- hall team went about the business of getting points in a workmanlike manner here Monday night against the Bismarck Phantoms, state inde- pendent champions, and when the 40 minutes of playing time had elapsed ‘were on the long end of a 48-25 score. While their offensive performance ‘was ragged in spots and their passing attack erratic on occasion, the Sioux amply demonstrated the smooth power and never-diminishing drive that has carried them to seven con- secutive North Central Conference victories this season. Despite the final lop-sided score, the Capital City independents were never completely outclassed and bat- tled courageously against the mount- ing tide in the Nodaks’ favor. Innum- erable times they broke a man into the clear under the basket only to have the ball roll off the outside edge of the hoop, and their long at- tempts just would not drop. Lctith Starts Reserves Clem Letich, Sioux coach, started an entire team of reserves against the local independents and for the first few minutes of play it looked as if he would not have to call upon his regulars. Everett Cox broke fast under the basket to register a field goal before the game was a minute old and Bill McCosh, his teammate in the fore court, followed up in the next half minute with a neat pitch from the side to give the Sioux a four-point jump. Johnny Spriggs put the Phantoms in the scoring column by converting one of two free throws on Alva Dahl's infraction but Cox counted again from the floor to increase the mar- gin to five points as the Phantoms took time out. After Sorsdahl’s conversion at the free throw line, McCosh dumped in his second bucket and Horace John- Son added a charity shot to bring the count to 9-2, Sorsdah) swished through a nice looping shot from out- ‘side the free throw circle and broke in the clear just a few seconds later to add one from close range Phantoms Trim Lead A gift shot by Ted Meinhover trim- med the Sioux’ margin to 9-7 but at that point, Letich sent an entire new team into the fray and with Bob Finnegan and Emmet Birk sparking the attack the university pulled out to a 20-12 lead at the halftime. Letich kept his regulars in at the opening of the second half but with- drew them again when they had piled Up @ 29-17 lead, Cox added another pair of field goals and McCosh, John- son, Dahl and LeMaire each counted ‘once from the floor before the univer- aity tutor sent his first string lineup back to finish the game. Smoothest performance of the eve- ning was given by the Nodaks’ regu- lar forward wall, composed of Finne- gan, Birk and Donn Robertson. This stellar trio clicked for several baskets in rapid succession when they really settled down to work with Finnegan's one-handed hook shots featuring the offensive performance. Finnegan High-Scorer Finnegan's five field goals and a brace of charity shots gave him high- scoring honors with 12 points, He was followed by Meinhover with four from the floor and a free throw for nine points, and Cox and Birk each with eight. Harold Tait and Acey Olson, former Dakota Millers, who joined the Phan- toms for the one game, lent drive to the Phantoms’ attack but failed to Kundla Scores 20 Points in Min- nesota’s 45-41 Upset of Boilermakers Chicago, Feb. 9.—(?)—Minnesota’s galloping Gophers, who have been burning up football gridirons for the last three years, have turned their “heat” on the Big Ten basketball title race. A “long shot” in pre-season ratings, Minnesota held second place in the @ smashing 45-41 victory Monday night over Purdue's highly regarded Boilermakers. The victory gave the Gophers a record of four wins and one defeat, with Illinois, idle Monday night, setting the pace with five vic- tories and one loss. Trailing 17-15 at half time, Minne- sota put on a great rally in the second period, with Johnny Kundla and Gor- don Addington, sophomores, leading the way. Kundla scored 20 points on six field goals, and eight free throws, sinking all his charity chances. 12,600 Watch Game Jewell Young, Purdue forward end leading conference scorer, added 15 points to his total. One of the largest crowds to see a basketball game in Minneapolis in recent years—12.600, witnessed the battle. It was Purdue's second loss in six starts. Indiana clung to a contending po- sition by defeating Chicago, 47-36. It was the Hoosler’s fifth win egainst two defeats and Chicago's eighth straight conference setback. Wisconsin outscored Ohio State in an overtime period to down the Buck- eyes, 35-33, The regulation game ended 30-30. Towa won its second game by down- ing Northwestern 39-29, with Sam Johnson scoring 15 points. The score at the half was 15-12 in Iowa's favor.

Klein's Trounce New Salem Paced by Gordie Engen, who @ropped in flat pitches from outside the free throw line with alarming alacrity, Klein's Toggery scored a 31- 17 victory over New Salem in the pre- liminary game. Engen counted 12 points on six field goals for top scor- ing honors. G, Kiausman,’ regular guard, was the best offensive performer for New Salem. He registered four field goals for eight points, one more than Leon Doerner, Toggery center, who had geven, The summaries: University fg ft pf Cox, f 4 2 McGosh, f Johnson ¢ Dahl, 0 0 0 a1 1 5 5 2 0 a8 e3 0 8 50 00 Pepke, g 0 0 1 Totals RL Phan- at half: Untversity “throw missed: J.

ANNEX CITY CHAMPIONSHIP Infected Foot May Keep Johnny Entringer, Saint Forward, on Sidelines With one leg up on the city prep championship, Coach Glenn Hanna's Demons will go into tonight’s game with Clement Kelley’s Saints favor- ed to hang up their second season’s win over the parochial quint, Moving along at a fast clip since bowing to the undefeated Minot Ma- gicians, the Demons apparently again are headed for the top of the Class A heap, having disposed of Jamestown twice and Dickinson once in their last three games. Kelley's crew, undefeated in its last five starts, may be forced to play tonight's game without the services of Johnny Entringer, regular forward, who has a badly infected foot. The foot was lanced Monday but whether it will be healed enough to permit Johnny to start tonight was question- le. Preceded by a preliminary between the Imps and the Angels, reserve fives of the two schools, the main contest has been called for 8:30 p. at the World War Memorial building. The preliminary game is scheduled to start ‘Without the younger Entringer, the St. Mary's team is conceded only a small chance to upset the high- scoring Demons, who defeated them earlier in the season by a comfortable margin. Hanna will start his regular five with Bob Tavis at center, Buddy Beall and Jack Bowers at forwards and Glen Enge and Capt. Bob Peterson in the back court. If Johnny Entringer is forced to re- main on the sidelines, Kelley will probably used Nick Becker opposite the diminutive Nicky Schneider in the other forward berth with Maynard Entringer at pivot and Dusky Schnel- der and Eddie Reff at guards. I, W. Huss is expected to have In- man and Sorenson at guards, Corwin af. center and Yeasley and Kelley at forwards as his starting Imp combi- nation while for the Angels, Bobb and Helbling will be in the scoring posi- tions, Griffin at center and Helser and Weigel in the back court.

They had met since, but not in the last 20 years. Dobie, one of the country’s oldest coaches, recently recovered from seri- ous injuries suffered in an automobile accident, union and from Cuba, Canade and Mexico. A first prize of $5,000 is guar- anteed, Dumont said. He added that this year, because semi-pro baseball is new to the other countries, only a national tourney will be held. ‘The dates for the finals, at Wichita, Kas., were set for Aug. 13 to Sept. 5.

Prep Coaches Favor Three - Day Cage Tournament Survey Conducted by McMahan Reveals Strong Sentiment for Longer Event 2 eee ‘A three-day state major league cage tournament was favored over & two-day session prescribed by the board of control this id ipl a survey of 17 high school « and superintendents who voted 14 to 3 against the short tourney, L. C. Mc- Mahan, Mandan coach, said Tuesday. The survey was conducted ‘by Mc- Mahan, “dean” of North Dakota coaches and tutor of the Braves, who mailed questionnaires to Class A coaches and school heads to deter- mine whether the three-day or two- day state tournament at Bismarck was favored and reasons for prefer- ence. Of the 17 polled, Supt. C. L. Robert- son, Jamestown; Marty Engh, Wah- peton coach, and Supt. J. N. Urness of Williston, were alone in preferring the two-day session when eight teams are entered. Reduces Strain on Players McMahan said athletic directors be- Ueved the three-day tourney “reduced physical and mental strain of the player,” and because of more night games larger crowds of fans could be expected who ordinarily could not attend day contests. He said coaches believed the long tournament would produce a better brand of ball because physical con- dition of the players would be better and also students would not miss school by attending night games. He said students from visiting schools usually wait until after the first day to see if their teams wins its opener before coming to the tournament. Supt. Robertson of Jamestown, who favored the short session, said the three-day tournament doubles the time lost in school by teams and stu- dents. Robertson also pointed out that the long session increases the problem of “looking after students away from home.” Favors Larger Squads He favored each squad be composed of 10 men and that each man be re- quired to play not less than five minutes in each game which would relieve team members. Officials who favored the three- day session were Coach Doug Smith, and Supt. F. H. Gilleland, Devils Lake; Ed Bohnhoff, Grand Forks; Henry Rice, Fargo; Supt. H. O. Sax- vik, Bismarck; Supt C. W. Hanna, Valley City; Lioyd Falgren, Park River Aggies; Supt. John Gould and McMahan, Mandan; Coach Joe Rognstad, Valley City; Charles Den- ton, Dickinson; Johnny Mach, Wil- liston and Harley Robertson, Minot. Eddie Collins Believes Red Sox Should Win New York, Feb. 9.—(7)—Eddie Col- lins, relying completely on the com- plete unreliability of baseball, figures tradition will be on the side of his Boston Red Sox this season. “No favorite has won the American League pennant since we repeated in 1931,” began Eddie, explaining the “we” meant the Philadelphia Athletics. “The A's were favored again in 1932 and the Yankees won. In 1933 Wash- ington won when the Yankees were liked. In 1934 Detroit came through and repeated the next year when no- body thought they would. And last year (and here he held his head), well, the Red Sox were favored and as I remember, they didn’t win.” The point Eddie makes is he doesn’t expect the Sox to be favored this year, and he'll tell you without much encouragement that this is okay with 152-170-164— 486] him, Collins thinks the deal that brought Pinkey Higgins to the Red Sox from ++ 186-177-217— 580) Philadelphia for Bill Werber was @ great help. + Fights La Night Philadelphia—John Henry Lewis, 181, world’s light heavy- weight boxing champion, out- pointed Al Ettore, 19214, Philadel- Phia, non-title (15). l Poulis, 140, Chicago, (4).
