THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1937 THE BUCKET By John Hijcio McGUINESS KEEPS UP PACE Jim McGuiness, former Bismarck hhigh school basketball star now in his sophomore year at the University of Minnesota, was one of 15 Gopher bas- ketball players still on the first string after Coach Dave MacMillan cut his squad prior to opening the Gophers’ season ... Arnold Klimpel, all-state end, and Robert Holmes, halfback, have been elected co-captains of the 1938 Minot high school football team + .. They succeed Capt. Verle Faw- bush, who will graduate this spring +. . Announcement of their election ‘was made at a testimonial banquet to the team... There wasn’t any dearth of candidates for the Mandan cage squad when Coach Francis Gruenfelder issued his opening call » ». In all, 75 candidates reported, nd since then the group has been divided and drastically cut... As- sistant Coach Burton Boyd tutors the B squad, with John Spaulding in charge of a third squad .. . Elected captain of the 1937-38 Valley City basketball team recently was Ordean Olson, towering three-year veteran. * * * MUCH-SOUGHT PUGILISTS For some reason or other, the Uni- | versity of North Dakota boxing team | fis in much demand as a foe for col- Jege teams in eastern and southern parts of the country, according to word from Grand Forks. ‘The Nodak mittmen travel east to Madison, Wis. to take on the Uni- versity of Wisconsin boys for the fourth time (the Badger team won all of the first three matches) Feb. 85, and if they want to they'll have plenty of places to go from there. Probabilities are that the Sioux will meet Michigan State on the same trip, and possibly they'll con- tinue further east to meet Villanova's nd Penn State's leatherpushers, And maybe Columbus university in Wash- ington, D. C., will be added to the ftinerary. Centenary at Shreveport, La, also would like to meet the North Dakota boys, we have it. Four members of the University team, Cully Eckstrom, Gordon Lee, Burton Boyd and Joe Miltenberger, won titles in the state Golden Gloves tournament here last month. Other members of the team are Carlysle Loverud, Vern Johnson, Christianson, and Holodnik. Chuck Gainor and Jack Mackenroth may glso seek places on the team. * * * BIG GAME More than a few North Dakota football fans will set Oct. 22 aside next fall as a red-letter day on their calendar. That's the day the University of North Dakota Sioux will take another crack at the University of Montana's fearsome Grizzlies and national rec- ognition. A win over the Montana team would be about as much of a boost to the Nodaks’ prestige as was the triumph over Detroit university In 1936, The best the North Dakota boys have been able to do against the Griz- elies so far was the 10 to 10 tie they gained in the first game of the series back in 1911. Last year they lost 13 to 6 and this year the Montanans tallied in the fourth quarter to beat them 14 to 3. Playing in their own Memorial stadium, the Sioux figure they'll have ® better than even chance of turning tables on the westerners and start the series coming their way. Only other games definitely ar- ranged thus far is with North Da- kota state at Fargo Oct. 29. Others likely to be included on the schedule ere South Dakota state, De Paul, and possibly Idaho university and two tore North Central conference foes. If a two-game contract with Idaho fs arranged, the chances are the Sioux will go west next fel with Idaho re- turning the visit in 1939. Thomas No Cinch for Aging Teuton Minnesota Farmer-Boy, Tough and Willing, in Position to Spring Upset New York, Dec. 11.—()—Harry Thomas, the willing whetstone for Max Schmeling’s dulled ring weapons, fis in the position of a man going over Niagara Falls in a barrel. Nine chances out of ten he won’t make it— but, boy, if he does! If it were not for the memories of the Braddock-Baer, Schmeling-Louis and Farr-Louis form reversals, the general public would take Monday might’s fight between Thomas and Gchmeling lightly. However, those fmbroglios have made the fistic clients wary and curious. The fact remains that Schmeling thas chosen no second-rater for his first test since Louis. Thomas is a genuine tough article, ready and able . to give the Teuton schlager a busy evening. ‘The bout will have a third com- pee ie old guy with the scythe. importance is attached to @chmeling’s age and his 16 months of exile from the ring. Schmeling ad- ™mits he is 32. Some say he is three years older. Schmeling brings a war-worn but trusty armament into the ring, and there is more than a hint that the Black Uhlan is far from his top form. Schmeling has every technical ad- vantage on his side except the springy legs of youth. But Thomas 4s hungry. He has been knocking ground Midwest fight clubs for a long time. He is hungry as Dempsey was egainst as Tunney was Ggainst Dempsey. Sometimes it makes e difference. - DR. R. 8S. ENGE Chirepracter Drugless Physician Lucas Bik., Bismarck, N.

Olson's counter climaxed a last- quarter scoring drive that saw the De- mons forge into the lead for the first time after trailing throughout the contest. Two long shots by Al Potter, Demon guard, one of them from al- most dead center floor, tied the count at 14-all just before Olson sank the winning basket. Devils Lake missed a chance to knot the score again immediately after when Floyd Nestegaard, forward, failed on one of two tries from the free throw line given him when Harry Rishworth fouled him as he was driv- ing in to the basket for a short shot. First Quarter Listless Neither team was able to exhibit any scoring punch during a dull first quarter during which the only scores chalked up were on sideline shots by Jack Churchill, one of four lettermen in the Devils Lake lineup, and Harold Smith, speedy Bismarck forward. Churchill counted again for the Satans early in the second period and Fred Kelley and Robert Loftness added a brace of field goals to boost the victors’ lead to 8 to 3 at the half- time as the only additional point chalked up to the Demons’ credit came on Olson’s successful attempt from the gift shot line. Nestergaard opened hostilities in the second half with a field goal to boost the Satans’ margin to 10 to 3 before the Demons partially found them- selves and began to whittle down their T-point deficit. Late in the third period Harry Rish- worth made good a try from the gift line and Jack Bowers followed with a field goal from the corner of the floor. A long pass from Rishworth to‘Olson, who was left unguarded under the Devils Lake basket, brought an easy tally that cut the Satans’ margin to 20 to 8. Satans Rally But at that point the Satans’ de- fense stiffened and they countered with field goals by Loftness and Gene Erickson to move out in front again 14 to 8, apparently able to protect that margin during the few remaining min- utes of the game. It was then that the Demons showed their first flash of effective offensive work. Passes down the floor worked well to put Rishworth in position for @ field goal in one of the most smoothly executed plays of the game. Potter took aim from mid-floor on a long heave and made it good, and fol- lowed with another bucket from just outside the free-thhow circle. Then with the score knotted at 14 to 14 and both teams trying desper- ately to connect with the hoop, Potter tried a third long one and missed and Rishworth fell short on a heave from mid-floor. Then Smith passed to Olson who was moving in toward the basket and who dropped the ball in for the score that told the tale, Ragged in their floor work and sloppy in their ball-handling, both teams were typical early season out- fits. The Demons probably had better individual performers but the Satans capitalized on hands that were better able to hold on to the ball and out- played the Bismarck boys under the baskets to even things up. Potter Steals Show It was Al Potter, who didn’t even win a letter as a reserve guard on last year's squad, who stole most of the honors as far as the Demons were concerned. Potter, still wearing a guard on his nose after breaking it in football this fall, played an outstand- ing defenseive game and came though with baskets when they were most sorely needed. Gilbert Olson's two field goals and free throw gave him individual scoring honors. For the Satans, Churchill, Loftness and Nestegaard set the offensive pace, with the entire team working well as & unit on the defensive. 5 Devils Lake moves on to Mandan to- night to take on the Mandan high school Braves in the second game of its road trip. Earlier this season the Satans won from Starkweather and lost to Grand Forks. Bismarck won its only previous start from St, Mary’s 20 to 16 last Friday. Maier’s field goal with 10 seconds to go gave the Hazelton boys their 24 to 23 triumph over the Imps in the open- er to make the evening a unanimous}; Photo-finish affair. The Hazelton sharpshooter made four field goals and a free throw to divide top scoring honors for the game with a team- mate, Opp, who had the same record to show for the evening. Edgar Rose and Victor Sorsdahl, with three baskets and a free throw apiece, paced the Imp attack, The summaries: Bismarck fg ft pf Dis Lake fg ft Bowers, ¢ Chur, ¢2 Rish'th,, 3 Potter,’ & Yeasley, c Bowers, Smith, ua a a Erickson, eree, Fay Brown; umpire, Griffith.

Baugh Deadly Passer Asserts Cliff Battles Chicago, Dec. 11.—() —‘Slingin’ Sammy Baugh pitches a football with Such accuracy that he could knock # cigar out of you? mouth at 20 yards, says Cliff Battles, running halfback of Washington’s Redskins, “The average thrower has to take time to set himself, cock his arm and make sure of his effort,” Battles said Saturday. “Baugh doesn't. He throws on the run, falling, any old way. He throws sidearm and with a snap of the wrist and is deadly accurate. He could knock @ cigar out of your mouth at 20 yards. “He doesn't throw a soft, floating pass like Benny Friedman did. They come at you quick. They dart and whirl in spirals, There's a knack of catching ‘em. I’ve watched him and have tried to improve my own pass- ing, but I guess you have to grow up with football, like he did.” Fires still burning in a pottery at Fulham, London, first were lighted more than 260 years ago. Minnesotans Lead 13 to 12 at Half; Throttle Dakotans Attack in Last Half Minneapolis, Dec. 11.—(#)—Starting out slowly, Edison high school’s bag- ketball team of Minneapolis, state champions, regained its shooting ability and came from behind to score a 34 to 18 victory over Minot, North Dakota's state champions. Off color at the start the Edison team found itself outplayed by the scrappy North Dakotans and was be- hind until the last few minutes of the first half, when it pulled ahead to a ie 12 advantage at the intermis- sion, : Coming out for the second half the Minneapolis team set so terrific a pace the North Dakotans fell behind steadily before superior speed and failed to count a single field goal. Verle Fawbush, Minot center, played @ splendid all-around game, while Mattson at forward was a constant threat. The Minneapolis scoring was well divided. Edison plays another state cham- pion, Huron, 8. D., in the South Da- kota state next week. ST. LEO’S OF MINOT TRIUMPH 47 TO 11 Minot, N. D., Dec. 11 —(P)— 8t.

The Saints defeated the Emmons county team, 33 to 14, in the first meeting of the two teams here two weeks ago in their curtain raiser. Displaying the same stubborn de- fense that the Bismarck Demons found so hard to crack, the Saints held Walter Dobler and his mates to three field goals during the game, with all of them coming in the jast half, Working smoothly, the Saints kept the offensive most of the time, trying few long shots. Johnny Entringer started the scor- ing for St. Mary’s shortly after the game opened with two field goals in quick succession and the Saints jumped off to a 6 to 1 edge at the end of the first quarter. A free throw in’ the second period was -all the scoring the Lions were able to do in the remainder of the half as St. Mary’s boosted its margin to 13 to 2 before the gun sounded. Dutsky Schneider was the outstand- ing St. Mary’s defensive player, with Nicky: Schneider and Johnny En- tringer pacing the Saint attack.
