BISON DEFEAT
PHANTOM FIVE
BY SO TO 20
Local Cagers Unable Ia Stem
Onslaught Of A. c. Quint,
But Give Good Fight

Playing hard, the Bismarck Phan-
toms went down to defeat before the
onslaught of the A. c. cagcrs by a
36 to 20 score on the state training
school floor at Mandan last evening.
The PhantomS were unable to
penetrate the Bison defense until
the last quarter. when they succeed
ed in garncring a few points. AT
no time during the game did they
threaten the Bison.
Handicapped by the loss Of Cap
tain Ted Greenfield. who was out
with an injury to his foot, and fur
thcr handicapped when Doyle turned
his ankle in the middle of the game
and had to be taken from the floor,
the Phantoms nevertheless put up Il
hard fight against the invaders from
the east.
Haas and Doyle at forwards played
consistent game and when Doyle
went out, Stensrud took his place to
acquit himself creditably. Slattery
held the center post and in the last
half of the game was Phantom
mainstay.
Olson failed to "get hot" during the
first half but in the second half he
broke through the Bison defense
several times for shots and worked
smoothly with the Phantoms. Mid
daugh and Holta, alternating in the
other guard post. completed the
Phantom defensive end
Hcrmcs High Man
For the Bison, Hermes. speedy for
ward, seemed to have no trouble in
raining in shots from any angle. be-
ing high point man for the game.
Hanson also dropped in several nice
ones. Willard ut center got the tip
off nearly every time but was weak
on free throws. The quality Of New
CARDS and Millcr's work in uphold
ing the defensive end can be easily
attcsted to by the score as il stood
throughout the game.
The first quarter was slow, with
Hermes starting the scoring for the
Bison with a short shot. Doyle,
fouled Hermes, who made one and
missed one shot, raising the Bison
tally. to three. Hanson soon came

ment later. also failed in his try.
Stensrud, fouled by Newgard, made
