schoolmates.
Handicapped by the loss of two
men through ineligibility and an
injury to another, cage stars of
jamestown college. with the flashy
play of George Heidi Of Mandan to
bolster their lineup, nearly defeated
the Bismarck Phantoms in a hard
fought contest on the high school
floor last night. The Phantoms
emerged with a % to 20 victory as
the final whistle Blew.
Disrupted by their sudden change
of personnel, the Jimmy five found
the going tough during the first
half and combined with the close
guarding of the locals failed to
count from the field.
It was in the first half that Neil
Churchills charges won their first
game. Away to an early lead. they
were able to maintain it throughout
the grueling last half when the
Jimmies rallied and threatened to
overtake their opponents.
Although the Phantoms showed
to better advantage in the first half
than in the second half and looked
the best SO far this season, they
still have a thorough polishing proc
ess to 60 through before they will
have an accurate-passing, sure
shooting and tight defense acquired.

scintillated on the defense. Nick

fast and starred until elected on
four personal fouls.
For Jamestown. George Heidi,
the pinch hitter from Mandan,
proved to be the big threat. He
steamed up in the second half and
dropped the leather through the net

The Phantoms ran up a lead CT
IL to 2 during the first half. The
collegiate lineup was having diff
Guilty in coordinating their floor
play and it looked as though the
Independents would stage a slaugh-
ter in the second canto.
Finding themselves during the
last 20 minutes, the boys from
Stutsman county went on a RAM
page, tossed in six field goals and
six free throws, and were fighting
vainly as the final whistle blew
with the Phantoms two points to
the front.
