é z BUCKET Roy D. McLeod, Valley City Teach- ers college coach, isn’t without the help of Bismarck boys even though he has transferred his coaching ta- lents from Bismarck to the eastern North Dakota institution, Three Bismarck boys are members|” of McLeod's Viking basketball squad, which thus far has won two games while losing four. Holding down a regular job in the back court is Vern Hedstrom, former Bismarck high school player who is putting in nis second year as a member of the Viking squad. The backbone of the Valley City team on the defense, he earned a letter last year as a freshman. Ray Yeasley, also a former Bismarck high school athlete, is a reserve for- ward and earned his letter in that capacity last season. He is a good shot and heady ball-handler, critics of the Valley City team agree. St. Mary's contribution to the Vi- king basketball cause is Arnold An- derson, reserve center, who played with the second-string last season but gives promise of developing into a contender for starting duty before the year is out. Lack of height and weight has been the big reason for the Vikings’ fail- ure to keep on the credit side of the ledger thus far this year, but even at that McLeod’s boys haven't been do- ing so bad, considering the competi- tion they have run up against. Bot- tineau’s Foresters and the NDAC Bison can attest to the Vikings’ abil- ity, since both of them tasted defeat at the hands of the Tutors. North- ern State Normal at Aberdeen, 8. D., Dakota Wesleyan, Jamestown college and the University of North Dakota were victors over Valley City. * * * ON THE SPOT Greetings to I. L. Doherty, editor and publisher of the Killdeer Herald, and Louis Greene, sports columnist for the Minneapolis Tribune. They evidently read our column; which makes them our pals, whether they like it or not. But each of them, in his own little ‘way, manages to put the lad who spills the Dope Bucket on the spot. Doherty issues a challenge, which it would be fun to accept. Greene boosts the lit- tle boost this corner gave St. Mary's basketball team some time ago. Which puts it up to the Saints themselves to make good. Anent a remark (not vicious) in this ‘column concerning a crack some Herald writer took at the referee who Officiated at the Killdeer-Dickinson game some time ago, Doherty writes: “Say, you buzzards, it become passe to criticise any old umpire? Didja ever see a ball game? Or are editors the only people who are supposed to turn the other cheek? There isn't any ze to knock athletic officials, one and good and bad, at random, old days will, indeed, be forever. ther Greene and the St. , it'll be up to the Saints Ives to show just how good are. And so far they haven't done 50 peaty,- Thanks, Louis. A g z isl iy g Lawrence Malmstad has been elect- ed president of the Killdeer Athletic club, Other officers are William Hirning, vice president; Frank Oukrop, @ecretary; and Philip Ebeltoft, treas- Jurer. Appointed to make arrange- | ments for the club's annual dancing party to be given some time in Jan- ary were William Cockburn, John (Meisch and Ed Oukrop. The new of- ficers will serve throughout 1938, * * * SUPERLATIVES A LA 1937 C. D. Locklin, Grand Forks sports editor, would label Bob Feller and not Dizzy Dean the biggest flop of the| 4 1937 sports show. He recalls the great things predicted for and expected of the Cleveland fireball-pitcher and then points out how the Boy Wonder hhurt his arm early in the season and > finally wound up with a record of nine * ‘victories and seven defeats. Which fsn’t super-specially brilliant. This corner thinks Joe Louis should have been listed among the year’s flops father than among the come-back boys. His showing in 1937 was any- thing but brilliant, considering the ‘way Britain's Tommy Farr and Jimmy Braddock put the spotlight on his im- perfections. He'll have to do better during the next few months. **e * NOT FOR PANSIES If you are one of those persons who think that volleyball is a sissy game, list to the story of T. V.

At least 10 coaches already are out of jobs, Business interests, ill health, and, in the case of Army’s Gar David- son, service requirements claimed some, but the majority, including such notables as Harry Kipke of Michigan and Pennsylvania’s Harvey Harman, were victims of the alumni war cry, “off with his head.” The casualties take in every section but the Southwest and four major conferences. Here's the injured list: Pennsylvania — Harman resigned Monday after a disastrous season in which the Quakers won only two games. Created Furore Michigan—Filling Harry Kipke’s job has created a furore. He resigned after a season in which the Wolverines broke even, but alumni say the grum- bling started when a poor year in 1936 was followed this fall by defeats in key games with Minnesota and Ohio State. Eastern alumni are touting Benny Friedman of City college, for the berth. Others lean toward Jack Blott of Wesleyan, a prime favorite with Athletic Director Fielding H. Yost. Oregon—Prince Callison is the lone victim of alumni disfavor on the Paci- fic coast. Two unsuccessful seasons in a row forced Callison’s resignation. Georgia—Harry Mehre resigned al- though his Bulldogs had a fair season. He has been unofficially “selected” for half a dozen other jobs but Mississippi is the leading claimant and will talk turkey with him soon. Or Miss Coach Quits Mississippi—Ed Walker, a pupil of Pop Warner, resigned after winning four games, losing four games and tying one, South Carolina—Don McCallister lost six games this year but appar- ently had survived alumni attacks. A junior alumni group got together, however, and McCallister went out and Rex Enright, former Georgia backfield coach, came in. Manhattan—Chick Meehan, after giving Manhattan its best season, had between business and foot- Chick took business. j—Gar Davidson, transferred after five years, is replaced by Bill ‘Wood, who must face a stiff schedule minus, under the new three year rule, the help of former college players. Mississippi State—Ralph Sasse was forced to resign because of ill health after several fine seasons, Underwood Quint Defeats Klein’s blers Hand Bismarck Club 34 to 21 Set-Back Underwood, N. D., Dec. 29—Getting off to a quick 12 to 2 lead in the first quarter and maintaining their margin throughout the contest, Un- derwood’s Ramblers defeated Klein's Toggery, strong Bismarck quintet, 34 to 21 in an independent basketball game here Monday night. Landgren was the sparkplug of the Ramblers’ attack, rolling in six field goals for a total of 12 points to nose out Emil Martin of Klein’s, whose five baskets and free throw gave him 11 points, for individual scoring hon- ors, The Underwood quintet is unde- feated in play so far this season. It was the first set-back of the year for the Bismarck quintet, which is lead- ing the Bismarck City basketball league with six straight victories.
