Coach Claude Miller Brings Five Hiliner Veterans Here This Week
GREEN DENONS AND
BRAVES WILL PLAY
’29 STATE CHAMPS
Lockwood, Nugent, Thoreson,
Jarvis, and Owens Make
Valley City Lineup
LOCAL PIVOTS TO BE BUSY
O’Hare and Hoffman Bismarck
Veterans; Lillibridge Only
M and an Returner
Included in Miller’s club will be
Lockwood and Nugent, forwards;
Thoreson, center; and Jarvis and
Owens, guards—all members of last
year’s contingent. The former Bison
athletic star also will bring Stern and
Brudevold, forwards; Baertsch, cen
ter; and Miller, guard.
Thoreson Going Great
Friday and Saturday nights loom
as tough ones for Bismarck and Man
dan centers as Thoreson. Valley City
lank, is playing a great game this
year and has developed a deadly eye
for the hoop. The elongated blonde
dropped in five field goals and a free
throw as the state champions
trimmed Oakes 21 to 9 last week.
Besides that he plays a bang-up floor
game and makes good use of his ex
tra ordinary height. Nugent and
Jarvis, last year regulars, also are
showing their customary familiarity
with the basket.
The Demons hope to avenge a de
feat handed them last season by the
Hiliners in the state tournament.
McLeod’s men won 17 straight con
tests, including two with Valley City,
and then lost the state championship
to the Barnes county crew in the
final game at the tournament, 16 to
13. Only two of those Demons who
were forced to swallow bitter defeat
last March will have a crack at Valley
City this week. They are Captain
John O’Hare and Earl Hoffman, both
guards. O’Hare is the only one re
maining who played in that fatal
contest.
McLeod still is feeling out his men
and has not yet settled upon the com
bination he likes best. He has been
using Harold Tait and Marlen
Lcehrke at center; Johnny Spriggs,
Frank Smith, Loehrke, and Russell
Enge at forwards; O'Hare. Hoffman,
and Eddie Agre at guards. Besides
these men he has Leo Benser. for
ward, and Dale Brown and Lester
Dohn, guards.
Lillibridge Only Veteran
McMahan has but one veteran
from last year’s team at Mandan. He
is Captain Wilfred Lillibridge, who
has been stationed at a guard post so
ipx this season. Lloyd Dietrich has
* Been getting the call for most duty
at center with Frank Heidt and Frank
Boehm apparent fixtures at the for
ward posts. Lloyd Spielman has been
stationed at the other guard. With
his men inexperienced. McMahan’s
reserve strength is problematical.
Though it still is early in the sea
son, the week-end games here should
give the state a pretty good idea in
which direction each of the three
teams are headed. All three are al
most certain to get heavy consider
ation when it comes time to pass out
state championship honors.

SHIRES WON’T DISAPPOINT
HIS FANS DESPITE MEETING
Baseball’s Malicious Boy Will
Do Battle With Tony Faeth
In St. Paul
WHITE SOX CLOUD APPEARS
Groat One Must Clear Himself
Of All Charges Before Club
Will Consider
Chicago, Jan. 7.—(/P)—Charles
Arthur (The Great) Shires does not
propose to permit meetings of state
athletic commissions to cause him to
disappoint his public.
While he is more or less soured on
the boxing business, the great one
still is after money, and decided not
to attend the meeting of the Illinois
state athletic commission this after
noon, so that he might go through
with a bout at St. Paul tonight.
C. Arthur said he could not attend
the meeting which was arranged for
him to explain some things about his
meeting with mysterious dangerous
Dan Daly of Cleveland, and still have
time to fulfill his engagement in St.
Paul, with Tony Paeth, a baseball
pitcher. Rather than disappoint the
fans he decided to pass up the meet
ing. And too, he still is considerably
short of the $25,000 he hopes to get
out of boxing.
Nessie Blumenthal, the shy one's
manager, said Mrs. Blumenthal today
would notify the commission that
neither fighter nor manager could at
tend the meeting. Blumenthal also
outlined Shires’ itinerary for the next
few days. The great man will re
turn to Chicago after the St. Paul
fight, but will pause only as long as
it takes to catch a train for Lansing,
Mich., where the Michigan boxing
commission plans to delve into the
circumstances surrounding Shires’
proposed bout with Battling Criss of
Rockwood, Mich. Criss’ manager has
charged a Shires’ representative re
quested the fighter to fold up in the
fight, and C. Arthur has been invited
to explain.
Shires may encounter difficulty
when he seeks an audience with tne
Sox management, for Secretary
Harry Grabiner has said the first
baseman must clear himself of all
charges before the club will be ready
to consider offering him a contract.

Action of Tournament of Roses Tilt
Sharkey Vs. Scott
Bout Likely With
Griffiths Shunned
Madison Square Garden Head
Prefer Several Fighters
to Englishman
New York, Jan. 7.—{&) —The second
annual “battle of the palms” at Mi
ami, Feb. 27, may yet become, an in
ternational struggle with Jack Shar
key, the Boston Gob, in one comer of
the ring and Phil Scott. London’s
most famous fireman, in the other.
Back from Boston after their vain
efforts to induce Sharkey to meet
Tuffy Griffiths at Miami. Madison
Square Garden officials have begun
negotiations with Jimmy Johnston,
Scott's pint-sized manager.
Financial matters already have
brought discussion of a Scott-Shar
key jnatch to an impasse but the
wrinkles eventually may be ironed
out to the satisfaction of everyone
concerned. Johnston has been hold
ing out for a guarantee of $75,000
with the privilege of 25 per cent of
the receipts. Frank Bruen. general
manager of the Garden, has counter
ed with an offer of 20 per cent of the
receipts
The Garden makes no secret of the
fact it would prefer Griffiths as well
as several others to Scott but Shar
key appears adamant on the subject
of Tuffy and Bruen despairs of bring
ing the Boston Gob around to the
corporation's way of thinking. Scott
may turn out to be the only heavy
weight available for the date and. at
the same time, agreable to Sharkey.

Strike Out Shires
•I’ll Fix Him So He Can't Fight
Any More/ Quoth The
Great ‘One’
St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 7.—(/P)—C.
Arthur (being investigated) Shires,
spotlight-loving pugilistic first base
man of Chicago, will strut his stuff
before northwest fight fans here* to
night when he meets Tony ‘Speed
Ball’ Faeth, of St. Paul, a baseball
pitcher who aspires to strike out the
“Great One/’
“I’ll fix him so he can't pitch any
more,” quoth Mr. Shires, unperturbed,
but. rather, glorying over his diffi
culties with the Michigan and niir
nois state athletic commissions over
charges of “fixed” bouts in those
states.
Tony, he of the “everlasting”
Paeths. was certain that the Great
One will have fallen several notches
down the boxing ladder at the end of
tonight’s six round set-to.
Shires, who had been scheduled to
appear today before the Illinois com
mission to answer charges that his
recent fight with dangerous Dan
Daly was not on the square, said he
expected to tell his side of the story
to the ring body tomorrow. He de
nies that the fight had been “fixed”
for to take a “dive.”

UPSET SEASON GETS
GOOD START IN TWO
OF THREE CONTESTS
Unexpected Setbacks Began
When Northwestern Drubbed
Wisconsin Cagers
Michigan faces purdue
Wolverines Were Favored Over
Gophers But lllini Was Doped
For Defeat
BY WILLIAM WEEKES
Chicago, Jan. 7.—(A*) —The Western
Conference basketball championship
campaign is only three games old, but
the upset season is away to a great
start.
Out of three contests decided, two
resulted in upsets of greater or lesser
degree. Northwestern was not ex
jpected to defeat Wisconsin in the
opener last night, but the Wildcats
•battled their way to a 23 to 14 tri
umph over the team that tied with
Michigan for the 1929 title.
Last nlgt’s Illinois’ inexperienced
team scored a somewhat surprising
10 to 15 triumph over a veteran Ohio
State five at Champaign The lllini
were unable to stop Dick Ervin who
accounted for five of Ohio State’s six
field goals.
Michigan, co-holder of last year’s
title, ran true to expected form and
trounced Minnesota, 32 to 17, at Min
neapolis, in its opener. The Wolver
ines. “Big Three.’’ Bob Chapman, Joe
Truskowski and Bill Orwing, produced
26 of Michigan's 32 points. After
Chicago settles up some pre-confer
ence business against Ohio Wesleyan
tonight, things will be quiet until
| Saturday night when eight teams will
be in action.
The Michigan - Purdue game at
Lafayette ranks as the standout con
test on the program. The Wolverines
have demonstrated plenty of power,
while Purdue is reckoned among the
first division fives because of Charlie
Murphy, its giant, sharpshooting cen
ter. Olen Harmeson, one of the rank
ing forwards of the Big Nine, and
other stars developed by Coach Ward
Lambert.
Wisconsin will play Ohio State at
Columbus, and Indiana will invade
Chicago.

GOLD SHOWER CALIFORNIA’S
FINAL PRESENT TO GOLFERS
Los Angeles and Agua Caliente
Opens Will Distribute
$35,000 Total
SMITH AND DIEGEL SHINE
Joplin Youth Has Won Three
Firsts and Second To
Take Sum Of ss f ooo
By HERBERT W. BARKER
New York, Jan. 7.— </P) —The far
west is about to say adieu to profes
sional followers of the winter golf
trail with a shower of gold for a part
ing gift.
Two big tournaments—the Los An
geles and Agua Caliente opens—will
mark the end of the big-money win
ter events on the Pacific Coast. Ten
thousand dollars will find its way in
to the pockets of the pros at the end
of the Lbs Angeles open which be
gins tomorrow. Prizes totaling $25,-
000 will be distributed in the Agua
Caliente open starting next Tuesday.
There are a score of golfers good
enough to win either or both of these
events but the lad who will be most
closely watched, perhaps, is Horton
Smith, the “Joplin Ghost," who again
is showing the way to the winter
campaigners. Victories in the Ore
gon open, the Berkeley open and the
Pasadena open, with a second in the
Hawaii open, have netted Smith
money prizes totaling approximately
$5,000. His three victories all have
been won with a 72-hole score of 280,
an average of 70 for each of 12 eigh
teen-hole rounds. A few more rounds
like that, put together, will make the
Joplin youth a formidable contender
at Los Angeles and Agua Caliente.
Leo Diegel, professional golfers as
sociation champion, may decide to
flash his best golf in the two last
tournaments, especially at Agua Cal
iente. Leo is the pro at Agua Caliente
and probably will be eager not only
to capture the major shore of the
$25,000 purse but to show his em
ployers that he can tour his own
course in better figures than any of
the invaders.

Ruppert, the Yankees’ president, will
talk over the contract but the bonus
system has never been considered.
LOYOLA LIKES THE DARK .
Loyola university likes its football
in the gloaming or anytime there
after. Six experimental games at
night were successful this year.

Future Quarterback
Those of you who were fortunate
enough to see Notre Dame’s great
eleven defeat Southern California 13
to 12 in Chicago's mammoth stadium
this fall prob
ably didn’t no
tice the youth
sitting at Coach
Howard Jones’
elbow on the
Trojan players’
bench. And if
you did, you
doubtless passed
him up with
nothing more
than a glance.
That boy Is
a freshman in
of Southern
California and Coach Jones had
brought him all the way from Los
Angeles to watch the Rambler-Trojan
classic. His name is Orval Mohler,
Jones expects him to be the field gen
eral of the Thundering Herd in the
next three seasons.
It must be the first time a fresh
man has been freighted clear across
the country, placed on the bench
close to his coach, and instructed to
watch carefully the plays of the op
position. And certainly a coach could
not choose better than the 1929 Notre
Dame eleven for purposes of instruct
ing a youngster.
On the coast they say that Mohler
is one in a thousand. He seems to
possess every requirement and is es
pecially adept as a passer.
Russ Saunders will graduate next
June but Jones still has Marshall
Duffield and Marger Apsit, junior
quarterbacks of two seasons’ experi
ence to fall back on. Tis evident,
though, that the Trojan mentor ex
pects Mohler to be a sensation.

Keep Cadets Busy
With the release of winter athletic
schedules for six sports at the U. S.
Military Academy it is revealed that
Army varsity and plebe teams will
engage representatives of 39 colleges
and 14 prep and high schools in bas
ketball, boxing, hockey, polo, swim

The schedules are the most at
