Because the All-Stars from the
University of North Dakota had had
more practice and were in better
condition, they defeated a hard
working crew Of Phantoms in their
tussle on the Bismarck High floor
Tuesday night 50 to %.
With two games under their belts,
the Phantoms should be rounding in
to shape Thursday night when they
clash with a group Of stars from
jamestown College who are maf/.g
to tour Of Missouri Slope cities end
towns.
Some of the University All-Stars
who are graduates Of Bismarck High
will also see action again before the
holidays end when they meet Roy
McLNod's high school tossers Friday
night in the annual Demon-Alumnl
game.
It was any mans game during the
first two quarters of the Phantom
All-Stars tangle. both fives playing
neck and neck during the 20 min
utes of scrambling up and down the
hardwood.
At six different intervals, the
count was tied in the first half with
the varsity men setting their inde-
pendent opponents a terrific pace.
Diehl Shines
A lad who couldn't make the Bis
marck high team few years ago
turned out to be the star in last
nights encounter, Duane Diehl, who
proved that perseverance wins, ac-
counted for IL Of the points that his
team scored.
He was ably assisted and abetted
by Jimmy Olson, formerly a scintil-
lating light of the Demon crews a
few years back, but now performing
brilliantly as a member o. the Uni
versity freshmen squad. Olson was
everywhere on the floor, guarding
superlatively, advancing the floor
on deceptive dribbles and negotiat-
ing three pretty field "oals.
Among the promising Phantom
ties, the work of "Doc" Burdick.
Bruce Doyle and Harry Lobach stood
out. This trio proved to be the
mainsprings of both the offense and
the defense and were at all times
troublesome.
Nick Robertson, former Milton
college star, and Andy Anderson,
also flashed sufficient form to show
that they will be some Of the prin-
cipal cogs in the team that Neil
Churchill is fashioning.
All-Stars Grab Lead
The all stars were off to a one
point start after the first few min
utes of play when Dichl made good
a gift shot which was equalled short
" after by Lobach. Diehl then pro-
ceeded to count all of the points
that the all stars made during that
canto while Doyle, Anderson and
Burdick registered for the local
crew. The quarter ended all.
Burdick's long heaves from the
middle of the floor kept the indie
pendents in the running during the
second quarter with Anderson con-
tributing q sensational overland
toss and Doyle, Dale and Roberts
tipping in setups.
Scoring was evenly divided among
the collegians. Beanie" Benser
used his height to good advantage
to push two field goals through the
hoop from under the blackboard
while Jimmy Olson slipped away
twice for successful short shots.
Diehl also continued his deadly pot
ting to bring the count to Il to IL
as the half ended.
During the third quarter the ALL
Stars grabbed a four point lead that
they refused to relinquish although
the latter stages of the battle found
the Phantoms bombarding the net
from both short and long range with
dangerous regularity.
Shepard, Benser, Olson and Diehl
registered the victor's points while
Burdick, Roberts, Lobach and Doyle
shared scoring honors for the losers.
The Phantoms showed their lack
Of practice in a loose defense that
allowed the university boys plenty
of openings while their passing
game was marred bv muffed passes
and inaccurate losses.
