confession stated that she had at

University of South Dakota, where
she was freshman. She failed to

the Haugen family. Lars Haugen,
representing st. Paul, Mimi, wrested

expectations in getting distance with
their jumps, but most of them dis
played splendid form. Neither OF
the Haugens was up to his usual form
but they led the field of Is contest
ants. Lars Haugen, who is AS years

During Winter

Louisville, Feb. 7.--LP)--Loss of
three stars of Louisville's 1926 cham

STRIBLING TO
MEET HUFFMAN
THIS EVENING
Former Light Heavyweight
Flash to Carry Hopes Into
Heavyweight Class

New York, Feb. 7.-LP)-Young
Stribling, one-time sensation of the
light heavyweight ranks, will carry
his hope of world recognition into the
heavyweight class at Madison Square
Garden tonight. He will pit his speed
and punching skill, now encased in a
husky 1S5-pound frame, against Sail
or Eddie Huffman Of California for
10 rounds in the first match Of a
heavyweight series scheduled to dis
close a challenger for Gene Tunney
next September.
The Georgian is making his first
appearance before New York fandom
as a heavyweight tonight without the
guidance Of Pa and Ma, who trained
him to fisticuffs from childhood.
Stribling now campaigns under the
direction of Walk Miller, who pur-
chased the youths contract from his
parents several months ago for $780,
600.
Once Defeated Huffman
Stribling previously defeated Huff
man in a decision contest in Los An
geles.
Huffman fought slashing draw
with Yale Okun in his last appear
ance here.
Stribling has been in semi-retire-
ment since his last match here in
1926 when Paul Berlenbach, then light
heavyweight champion of the world,
trounced him severely in a 15-round
match for the title. The southern
youngster, however. has found time
since that date to whip several of the
lesser heavyweights. In May, 1925,
when weighing but 179 pounds,
Strbling knocked out Quintin Rom
Gro, Chilean champion, in four rounds
at Boston. He later won decisions
over Bud German, Wisconsin heavy
weight, and Johnny Risko, the Cleve-
land baker.
Two 1O-round supporting matches
are on the card. Sully Montgomery
of Fort Worth Texas, will meet Pat
Mccarthy of Boston and Martin
Burke, New Orleans, light heavy
weight. will meet Blackie Miller
champion of Australia.

Winning World Title
Brings Its Troubles

Chicago, Feb. 7.-LR)- Winning a
worlds baseball championship
brings it's troubles. Sam Breadon,
president of the St. Louis Cardinals,
can testify to that.
Rogers Hornsby was the first one
to cross Breadon. and he was traded
to the Giants for frankie Frishch.
Hornsby is heavy stakeholder in
the Cardinals and this presented fur
Their encumbrance to the peace of
mind as the stock must be disposed
of at price satisfactory to all.
Hard on the heels Of the Hornsby-
Frisch trade came the news that
Grover C. Alexander, the pitcher who
snatched the worlds championship
from the Yanks in that sensational
seventh game last fall, was "hold
out" Lester Bell followed suit and
so did Jess Haincs, and these mat
tiers will have to be threshed out. 81

States Attorney Opposes Her
Removal to State Hospital
at Yankton

Vermilion, S. D., Feb. 7.-(AP)
Miss Marian Meyers, who at
tempted to rob a bank here early
Saturday, was adjudged insane to-
day, but her removal to state
hospital was opposed by the states
attorney.
Shortly after the 19-year-old
former university coed had been
ordered held for the March circuit
court under $500 bond, the Clay
county sanity board held her in
sane and directed she be sent to
the Yankton state hospital for OBJ
servation.
The states attorney, H. o. Per-
kins, promptly opposed, declaring
he would not permit her removal
from Jail here until the 81, 500 bond
had been posted.
II am going to push this case"
he said. IF this girl goes free
there will be IL similar cases to-
morrow committed by girls just

lieve the girl should be prosecuted

same rights"
The sanity board met on request

ed that better and more adequate
transportation by bus can be ar.
ranged at a fare of seven and one
half cents for tickets and 10 cents
for one ride. The bus system would
cover the entire city, he explained,
whereas the street car covers only
a small part.
Twichell said that the railroad
board would have full jurisdiction
over the bus companies and charged
that the cost Of hauling passengers
on the street car is between 10 and
II cents each. The fare charged is
five cents. Buses are superseding
street car systems in small cities, he
said, and averred that the time is
not long distant when the street cars
in Fargo will disappear and their
places be taken by buses.

sometimes use different phraseology
in writing the Ten Commandments
and demanded to know how an agree
ment would be reached on which
version was to be used. F. j. Lyon,
Mclean county, averred that this
was a minor point since all versions
carried the same moral point. The
vote was Is to 25. A similar bill
previously had been killed in the

mittee had been adopted.
J. McGauvran, Cavalier county,
committee chairman, said that it
would be useless to support Beck
kel's motion since the committee
had been unanimous against it and
there was il practical certainty that
the proposal would get nowhere
The proposed Stanton bridge would
be only % miles from proposed
new bridge at Washburn, he said.
Twichell pointed out that the
state may appropriate money only
for bridges over which state and fed
cral aid roads pass and that no such
roads exists near the site of the pro-
prose Stanton bridge. Bocckel's eff
fort received only scattering Of
