PHANTOMS ARE HELPLESS

Six stars Of University Of North
Dakota basketball taught the Bis
Marck Phantoms some fancy lessons
in the finer points Of the cage game
here last night, deluging the local
Independents by score of 70 to Il.
Captain-elect Paul Boyd. Victor
Brown, Levy Lee and Harold Eber-
", from the team that took the
championship Of the North Central
conference. and Glen jarrett and
Curtis Schavc from the Flicker
I'rosh, were the cagcrs who per
formed.
Jack Livdahl and Willis Shepard,
who received their basketball train
ing in Bismarck and enrolled at the
university, gave the fans q surprise
when they appeared in the Phantom
lineup. Shepard is captain of the
North Dakota football machine for
next fall while Livdahl has been a
member of the varsity cage squad.
The Phantoms were bcwildcred by
a sparkling passing game and the
most deadly basket accuracy that
has been seen on the local floor in
many years.
Phantoms Fight
Despite the wide margin Of cage
ability in the members of the rival
Quints, the Phantoms fought every
minute Of the way and for the space
Of five minutes in the first half
played their more experienced oppo-
nents OH even terms.
There was no doubt in he minds
Of the fans that the varsity men
were the finest aggregation Of leath-
er tossers that has ever been seen in
the Slope country.
Once the university boys got their
hands on the ball they worked it
under the Phantom net with uncan-
ny passing and the shorter Phantoms
found is practically impossible to
stop their rangy rivals from sinking
setups.
In Curtis Schayc and Glen Jarrett,
former Grand Forks high luminaries,
the fans saw two boys who will UNI
doubtcdly wear the green and white
youngsters at times last night ran
away from the varsity men on the
offense and flashed passing game
of their own that was beautiful to
watch.
Wear Frat Colors
Members Of the University lineup
last night played under the colors
of the fraternity to which they be-
long, the university athletic board of
control refusing to recognize the
quint as an official university team
and forbidding the use of the varsity
toys.
Nick Roberts, former Milton COL
legc ace, was the only Phantom who
could hit the net with any degree of
accuracy. He negotiated five field
goals to keep his mates in the scor-
ing column.
Vic Brown. one Of the three form
er Valley City boys in the varsity
lineup, was the adding machine for
the victors. The tall. blonde, tact
turn youth sunk II field goals.
Paul Boyd, 1s5 pounds of Drawn
And muscle, also thrilled the fans
With his guarding game and the ease
with which he sank gift shots.
Switch Brings Title
1t was the switching of Boyd from
forward to guard and Brown from
guard to forward that furnished
Glenn Letich's men with the punch
and power that enabled them to
sweep to the first North Central
championship and four victories over
the North Dakota Aggies.
Nick Roberts, Johnny dollhouse,
Jack Livdahl and Willis Shepard
were outstanding among the squad
of 10 men that Churchill used in ar
endeavor to stop the unstoppable
Nodaks.
There was no department Of the
game in which the varsity did moi
shine and the array Of high schoo
boys who sat along the sidelines
picked up plenty Of the finer points
IF the game.
In preliminary game, the Young
Phantoms defeated the Mandar
Papooses, is to 5. The Young
Phantoms had nearly all of the frs
string Bismarck high team of tn,
past season in their lineup while tn,
Papooses had their regular array.

In the making. If scheduled it will
probably be played on Saturday aft
ernoon prior to the consolation
games in the state n;9h school tour
