Veteran Wilton Quintet
Meets Bismarck Tonight
jacobson, Landers, Thornberg
and the Brown Brothers Are
Most Likely Demon Starters
-sIzzy' Polonsky Win Lead
Mining Cohorts-Prelim Is
Billed

What Improvement has been
shown by Coach Roy J. McIeod's
cagers at Bismarck high since the
haphazard victory over Carson 4
week ago will be revealed tonight
when the veteran quint from Wilton
will tangle with the. Demons at 8
o'clock.
The Mcleod style Of advancing
the ball depends upon an accurate
passing and shooting game, . style
that is not learned rapidly and one
that pushes the running and drib-
bling attack into the background.
It is the passing and shooting that
has been emphasized during the
drills this week and Mcleod ex-
pressed himself as anything but sat
isfied with the form that the boys
were showing and stated that he
would not be surprised to see the
Wilton Miners tuck victory away.
The up-country five lost to the
Demons last year by one point and
they return to Bismarck this year
with practically the same lineup.
"Izzy" Polansky. one Of the finest
players in the state, is again the
mainstay of their squad.
Has Is P0ssibles
ANY one Of the Is men whom Nc
Leod has been using is likely to start
the game tonight at forward, guard
or center, the members Of the squad
having been given tryouts in all of
the positions. Just who will be in
the starting lineur and in what po-
sitions is pretty much q tossup.
Ben jacobson and Gordon Lam
ders have been used with the most
regularity at the forward positions,
Fay Brown and Carl Thornberg at
guards and Hank Brown at center.
This combination stands the best
chance of hearing the inaugural
whistle tonight.
Other boys who will see action
are Slattery, O'Hare and Elmer Ben
ser, forwards; Ernie Benser and
Meinhover, center, and Spriggs and
Hoffman, guards.
Preceding the feature tilt, the
freshmen and the junior high quints
will meet at 1880 p. m.

No club can be classed q . grea&
unless it has . @mdbth

In 1926, New York had . spec
tacular pair at those two positions
in Lazzeri and Koenig but lacked
smoothness, since Koenig had his
erratic moments. Several Of them
proved rather costly IN the 1896
series.
Last season Koenig was ! dif-
ferent ball player. "A years ex-
perience had given him poiss,
erased the tendency to b nervous
and polished off what few rough
spots he had, 90 there were few
better shortstops in either league.
That is one big reason why New
