Demons Play Valley Golden Gophers Figure In Year’s Most Surprising Events Hl - LINERS RATED AT TOP IN EARLY SEASONFORECASTS Preliminary Between Imps, Stanton Called for 7 P. M. in High School Gym SAINTS TO PLAY BLUEJAYS Kelley Coached Squad May Stay in Jamestown for Second Game Saturday Their hopes centered on ending their pre-holiday schedule undefeated, Bismarck high school’s basketball players mustered forces Friday for to- night’s clash in the high school gym- nasium here with the powerful Valley City Hi-Liners. A crowd of over 1,200 is expected to turn out to see the two teams in ac- tion, the largest that has witnessed any game here thus far this season. Extra seats were being placed today. Coach Glenn Hanna is expected to start Capt. Jack Bowers and Harold Smith in the fore court with Gilbert Olson at center and Harry Rishworth and Alwyn Potter at guards in to- night’s fray. Others in the Demon squad who are most likely to see action are Warren Kraft and Nick Barbie in the back court and Bob Yeasley and Bill Lee forwards. Valley City’s usual starting lineup is composed of Scott and Delmore at the forwards, Ordean Olson, center and Bob Carter and Harry ‘Treg- lawny, guards. Keister, a forward, and Hulett, a guard, are the reserves most likely to see action, Imps Play Stanton Ina preliminary game the Bismarck Imps, reserve aggregation, will play Stanton’s strong quintet. Probable starters in the Imp lineup are Edgar Rose and Leslie Wilson in the fore- court, Victor Sorsdahl at center, and Edgar Schultz and Art Tilsen at guards, with Roger McKinnon and Tom Skodje in line either for starting or reserve duty. The preliminary contest is scheduled to get under way at 7 p. m. with the main go to follow immediately after- wards or about 8 p. m. Still dissatisfied with the offensive performance of the Demon quintet, Hanna drilled his charges on ball handling this week in an attempt to give them the scoring punch so lack- ing in their games with St. Mary's and Devils Lake, The Demons won both of those two games by narrow margins, but since the Hi-Liners bring a veteran aggregation highly- touted as outstanding contenders for the state class A cage title the Bis- marck mentor feels his boys will have to be at their peak to come out on the long end of the score tonight. Olson in Good Shape Fear that Gilbert Olson, one of the two lettermen on the Bismarck squad, would pot be able to play Friday be- cause of an injured ankle has almost Hanna said, Olson turned his ankle in practice this week but is apparently in good shape again. ‘The Hi-Liners will travel across the Missouri Saturday to play the Man- dan Braves in the game of their road-trip. Meanwhile, at St. Mary’s Clement Kelley had definitely decided upon the five men he will start against James- town’s tough Bluejays in the Saints’ game there tonight but was still un- certain Friday morning which of four reserves he would take along. Nickey Schneider and Johnny En- tringer were in line for starting duty at forwards with Nick Becker at oen- ter and Dutsky Schneider and Donald Downey at guards. Tom Fox, George and Bob Garske and William Bobb were the quartet from which Kelley planned to pick two reserves to ac- company the team. May Play Two Games Arrangements were being made to have the Saint squad remain over in Jamestown and play St. John’s Acad- emy quintet there Saturday night. ‘This was not definitely assured Friday morning, however. Return of Donald Downey, sharp- shooting guard, to the lineup after al- most a week’s absence did consider- able to buoy St. Mary’s hopes for a victory over the Bluejays. Right now the Jays rate among the state's prep- school cage leaders, but that doesn’t worry the Saints and their mentors. “We've a good chance to bump them off and we're going to try to make the best of it,” declared Kelley, adding: “But whether we do or not they're go- ing to know they’ve had a game be- fore we give up the ghost.” “That goes for me, too, averred Bob Finnegan, former University of North Dakota star assisting Kelley in coach- ing the St. Mary’s squad. = —Tarwemd pemeene b- Mory s ecuad. | Fights Last Night | -—________—____» By the Associated Press) New Haven, Conn.—Nathan Mann, 1881;, New Haven, knocked out Tiger Boy Williams, 17514, Chicago, (3).

JOHN HENRY CONFIDENT HE CAN WHIP LO Light Heavy Champ Opens Cam- paign for Title Shot Against Risko Tonight Cleveland, Dec. 17.— (NEA) — John Henry Lewis has vacated the world light-heavyweight championship to camp on the trail of Joe Louis, And there he says he will remain, like a faithful hound, until the Brown Bomber gives him a rumble, or the dethronement of the heavyweight leader makes a match with Max ehemneltng or some other bloke , his goal. Lewis, here to tackle the ancient and honorable Johnny Risko—of all peo- ple—tonight confidently believes that he is capable of smacking both Louis and Schmeling around. Not a few competent critics agree with the 23-year-old Phoenix Negro. They consider him the finest of the big fellows, which gives you a rough idea of what is likely to happen to Risko, attempting a comeback against the advice of friends. Lewis is a full-grown heavyweight now. He made 175 pounds for the last time when he knocked out Bob Olin in three rounds in St. Louis, June 3. He expects to scale 183 for the Risko affair and to come in at 185 or more next summer. Lewis is big, fast, and courageous enough to repel any of the larger boys. Bounces Back After Bad Beating John Henry lost for the first time since Jan. 29, 1936, and in 33 consecu- tive bouts, when Isidoro Gastanaga, nailed him right under the gun and while he was still cold in Detroit, Oct. 15. Down two or three times, Lewis succeeded in going 10 rounds, but took such a savage beating that he was forced to cancel a trip to Eng- land and pull into drydock for gen- eral overhauling. Some suspected that Gastanaga, 8 murderous puncher, knocked all the fight out of Lewis, but the Arizona kid demonstrated how far wrong they were by cutting up and pasting the big Basque before dropping him three times and knocking him out in the ninth round of a second edition in 8t, Louis. 4 Lewis attributes his lapse in the first battle with Gastanaga to a two months’ layoff, or rather to flitting about Phoenix and Hollywood for that length of time. That’s a long period of idleness for a chap who will make his twentieth start of the year against Risko. John Henry is built like a race horse. He's tall, wiry, and good look- ing. Although he has been tremend- ously active since 1931, the only marks of his wearing profession are a cou- ple of scarcely noticeable scars on his right eyelid. John Henry Faster and Smarter Lewis is quicker than Louis, and in the matter of swiftness, would make Schmeling look like a selling plater. Indeed, his blazing speed prohibits his being a hard hitter, but he's a punishing puncher. John Henry is more intelligent and vastly better copy than Louis. Gus Greenlee, one of Lewis’ own people acquired the youngster in Oak- land, Calif., in 1935, through his late cousin, Dr. Nelo Greenlee of Phoe- nix, who knew the lad’s family. Gus Greenlee is some pumpkins in Pittsburgh, with one of the better Negro baseball clubs and whatnot. “Lewis will fight himself into a position where Louis can no longer get away with drawing the color line against one of his own race,” asserts Greenlee. “Mike Jacobs may have all the other first class heavyweights tied up, but John Henry will keep knock- ing off available opponents until there is a demand for his services in a heavyweight championship match.” Lewis has seen all of Louis’ major efforts. They are friends, but John Henry doesn't intend to let friend- ship interfere with big business. UIS, SCHMELING Meehan Satisfied to Be Through Coaching New York, Dec. 17 —()}— John Francis Meehan is out of football coaching to stay, and John Francis Meehan is content. “ Popular, dapper little Chick, who ended a career that began at Syra- cuse in 1919 when he withdrew from. his Manhattan college post this week, admitted as much Friday. He looked | W! out upon 42nd street from the office of his construction company, and 42nd street and the rest of the world looked fine. “I don’t care what sort of an of- fer I might get, and what the job might or might not be—I wouldn’t be interested,” he said, Not that he wants to convey the impression that he didn’t enjoy his 19 years of football coaching, or that his quitting Manhattan at the end of its most successful season was due to any friction. The associations with his boys have been so pleasant that Chick hesitates to single out any-player as the best he ever coached. Hazen Miners Hand Stanton First Loss Hazen, N.

Although carrying nothing like the | gai impact of Max Schmeling’s knockout of Louis, which was rated the biggest surprise of 1936, the Brown Bomber’s failure to do better than outpoint British Torfimy Farr in their 15- round heavyweight title match last August was rated the year’s No. 1 upset. Sentiment expressed in the seventh annual Associated Press sports poll was divided between surprise over Farr’s good showing and the Negro’s inability to land so much as a knock- out punch. Poled together, however, the expert views combined 18 first- place votes and a total of 83 points, tabulated on a 3-2-1 basis, for the bout. Football surprises, as usual, cover- ed a wide range but not even subse- quent developments minimized the general view that Minnesota's Big Ten champions were the victim of the season’s biggest upset when beaten early in October by Nebraska. Eleven experts put this result at the top of their list and it took second place in the poll with 52 points. Last year the Gophers’ upset at the hands of Northwestern was runner-up. 5: The pennant victory of the New York Giants, the poll revealed, was the source of more eyebrow-lifting than their semi-collapse against the Yankees in the World Series, but the Newark Bears were credited with producing baseball’s biggest surprise when they came from behind to take the last four games of a seven-game “Little World Series” from Columbus. Outstanding individual upsets, in the experts’ opinion, were sprung in women’s tennis by Chile's diminuni- tive Anita Lizana in stroking her way to the United States singles title at Forest Hills in September.

Mungo Deal Has Giants Worried New York, Dec. 17.—(#)—The Giants, says President Horace Stone- ham, with finality, have made their last and best offer for Van Lingle Mungo, the Brooklyn pitcher, an they are worred to death.

But he’s worried, just the same. “I thought Brooklyn was crazy when | it didn’t accept our offer for Mungo,” said Stomeham, “But when I learn- | ed what Chicago had offered them, I| thought they were twice as crazy for not accepting and getting it down in| writing, quick.” Mungo, one of the very best right- handed pitchers in the trade, has proved himself under difficulties, which is to say while wearing the Brooklyn livery. But Van Lingle has sworn not to pitch another lick for Brooklyn.
