DEMONS ARE.
VICTORIOUS
OYER WILTON
Local Quint Noses Out lilo
Win Over Mclean Cagers
In Hard-fought Game

Bismarck high won an IL to 10 VIC
tory over Wilton last night IN nm en-
counter which smacked but little Of
the forecast practice game" and
which kept the Demons on their toes
every minute of the time.
a last minute squirt brought Wilton
from. under seven-point lead to add
six points to its tally and only the
good defensive work of the Demons
kept the upstate team from adding
another victory to it's list.
The game started out with bang
and kept up at u speedy pace. The
first two periods resulted in only
three points for the Demons to one
for Wilton but in the third quarter
the local aggregation got into its
stride and made seven more points.
Wilton, fighting desperately for q
win. "came back" in the last quarter
with brand of basketball which
showed that the upstate outfit are not
to be overlooked in the district tour
nanent this year, and the brilliant
playing of Polensky gave it seven
points more to make the score IL to
10. A number Of the Wilton shots
went wild in the last two minutes,
with the result that the Demons
hosea out their victory.
rOlOnsky is Star
POlOnsky lived up to all predictions
regarding his prowess and was u
constant threat to the Demons. 1t
was to great extent through his
accurate work that Wilton was able
to come as close to victory, for it was
shot Of his from the center of the
floor which grazed the loops and
made the score IL to 10 instead of
II to 8. Redington and The two
Krush brothers also played a good
game.
Although a number of the Wilton
shots went wild, two out of the three
field goals scored came from far
back on the floor and several others
just missed the basket by fractions
Of an inch. These two field goals eff
fectively prove that Wilton is able
to make long shots when necessary
despite the fact that, on their own
floor, Coach SevertsOn's men are
handicapped by low ceiling.
For Bismarck, Wutzkc displayed
his customary speed and all-round
ability and broke up number Of
Wilton passes. Honors for field
goals were evenly divided between
Jimmy Olson, McGettigan, who went
in the second half for Ernest Benser,
John dollhouse and Ernest Benser,
with one each.
Improved Offcnse
The Bismarck offense showed big
improvement over that of the initial
Carson game and great Improvement
in handling the ball was to be seen.
Wilton penetrated through the Demon
defense several times but on the
whole this department of play showed
up well, especially in view Of the
lac. that no time has been spent on
il yet in practice.

BIZ United Press
THE PAS, Manitoba, Jan. 26.-
"The classic of the snow" the 10

From the North country came the
trapper, the trader. the hunter and
the freight hauler to match his
huskies against the best in the
world.
No lap dogs these, but brutes-
vicious pulling demons-whose only
task is to run like the wind and
whose only reward is a bit Of frozen
fish at the end of the haul, charg-
ing on oft-times with ice cut feet,
with shoulder harness weary, but
driving on with hearts that know no
quitting.
TIE following teams were entered
for the start of the bitter dash over
the snow: Bill Grayson, dogs; Earl
Bridges. 7 dogs; Harry Olensky, 9
dogs; Ross Moxley dogs; Emil st.
Goddard. dogs.
They are nationally recognized as
ngn Of iron, whose race ir not only
with man but with nature, who run
hours on end in the teeth Of a bitter
wind and over a trackless course
with the toughest kind Of going.
This years Derby has been divided
into three days Of racing, forty heart
breaking miles to the day. and will
call for the best man and dog has
to offer in order to keep In the run
ming, as the teams will be forced tc
sprint most of the way.
