Although Bismarck found the go
ing uncertain in the first half of
their rough and tumble game with
Carson on the. Bismarck high floor
Friday night, the Demon substitutes
in the second half rallied to estab-
lish sufficient lead and victory by
2 II to 5 count.
It was Hank Brown, sub center,
and Earl Hoffman, sub guard, in
jected into the game in the second
half that furnished the Mcleod men
with 4 balance wheel. Playing cool
and steady game, thev made the fag
end of the mixup seem more like q
basketball game. They accounted
for seven points largely by their
speedy dribbling that left the Car
son boys fatfootcd.
Carson started off in big league
fashion. A night of rest furnished
them with the energy that they
lacked over st Mandan and their
fight was sufficient to stave off the
individual efforts of the Bismarck
boys during the first half.
Altman Counts
Tho Roughriders counted first
much to the misery of the rooters
when Referee Roberts gave Altman,
crack forward, two gift shots. The
little fellow negotiated one of them
successfully.
Ernie Benser then started the
& fireworks for the Demons when be
took q pass under the rim and deft-
~ Tipped the ball through the net.
At the conclusion of the first
quarter, the count was tied at 3 all
and the Demons were none too
sure about the outcome of the game.
Both Jacobson and Landers tossed
a field goal in the second stanza
while Altman again evaded the
Demon guards to heave q difficult
shot from the corner, the final Car
son score.
Mcleod Starts Parade
With the start of the second hall,
Mcleod ordered a big parade and
one substitute after another filed
into the fray with q regularity that
left the Carsonites dizzy.
Hoffman and the Brown brothers,
Hank and Fay, were the whole show
for the victors in the final cantos.
Hoffman's floor play cooperative
with the shifty dribbling Of Jacob
son had the Carson boys bewildered
and the Brown duo proved danger
ously accurate when they had an
opportunity to score.
During the final half, the Demons
had the scoring efforts of Altman
well smothered and what few at
tempts at the basket they allowed
missed the rim by wide margin.
Bismarck's defensive work in this
half was good enough to shut the
Roughriders out.
Mcleod used ten men and all ten
exhibited much the same faults.
Their nervousness was apparent
and the execution Of the floor plays
and the passing showed a lack Of
practice.
Thornberg Is Sick
Carl Thornberg, the classy little
guard from Alpine, S. Dak., who has
cast his fortunes with those Of the
Demons, was on the sick list and
will not be able to perform before
the Wilton game. His appearance
is expected to strengthen the floor
game perceptibly, according to those
who have seen him in action.
Coach Erling Logeland's Rough.
riders will furnish the consolidated
schools with plenty of competition
later on in the season for in Alt,
man, he has a dead shot whose
ability to work the ball out of &
mess Of players and into the clear
for q shot is uncanny and the Wag
ner brothers are two hardworkins
guards Of no mean ability.
That the Bismarck aggregation
will be in for plenty of work be-
tween now and Christmas is eviden'
and Mcleod stated that he has ,
plan Of practice outlined that shouls
bring the boys intb smooth-work
ing combination about the first O.
the new year.
