both TEAMS COULD
MAKE GOOD RECORD
/ AT STATE TOURNEY
Bismarck Appears Stronger but
Will Have to Be on Good
Behavior
STEPHENS READY TO PLAY
Braves Have Been Strengthened
With Addition Of Three
Huron Youths
BY WILLIAM s. nfOELLER


Hope. victory, defeat, revenge. sus-
pensc, and intense rivalry-all will
have their fling at the state training
school gymnasium in Mandan Friday
night.
For 1t is then that the Bismarck
Demons and the Mandan Braves will
struggle for the basketball champion
ship Of Region G and the right to
enter the state tournament March %
and %.
The game will bring a realization
Of hope to the victor and a crushing
blow to the loser. Should Bismarck
win, the Demons will have taken their
revenge OH the ancient rivals from
the other side of the Big Muddy for
consistent defeats handed them in
tournament play by the Braves in the
last few years. Should Mandan VIM
the Braves will have attained sweet
revenge for two beatings given them
by the Demons this season.
A fine team will win Friday night
and a fine team will lose. It is a
pity that two such strong teams
should be pitted against each other
before state tournament play. Either
team would make great record in
the state tournament.
Week in and week out throughout
the season. the Demons appear the
stronger team. But the Roy Mcleod
coached crew will have to be on its
best behavior Friday night or accept
defeat when it hurts the most. The
Demons walloped Mandan 81 to II
Jan. 18 and eked out a Is to 10 win
from the Morton county boys Feb. 8.
They have won IA consecutive games
this season. piling up a total count
OF 400 points to 123 for opponents,
and have yet to taste defeat this
year.
Mandan, besides losing twice to the
capital city youths. dropped a sur
prise contest to Jamestown. But the
Braves are saying little about victory
or defeat, apparently waiting in am
bush. Tor surprise attack and a
scalping this weekend.
The Demons have remained the
same IN personnel throughout the
season. Ted Mcinhover, however,
given q chance during the tourna-
ment last weekend. showed worlds
Of stuff and will no doubt see a bit
OF action against Coach Leonard Nc
Mahans crowd.
The Braves have been STRENGTHENED
this semester with the addition Of
Hudler, Lillibridgc and Collins. for.
mer performers at Huron S. Oak.
The Braves not only lost the game
to Jamestown but almost lost the
services OF their star guard, Jack
Stephens. in the same contest Steph-
ems wrenched his knee in the Blue
Jay game and has not played since.
He IS out for practice this week. how
ever, and is expected to be in good
shape for the contest Of the year.
In no other region are two such
powerful teams meeting each other
this week. Other regional final con-
tests follow:

Firpo down for the ninth time and
out.
Three years later, with the memory
OF that fight as vivid to him as i.
was few days afterwlr Dempsey
talked to this writer about it and
told a version somewhat different
from the popular conception.
The first punch Firpo landed did
more damage to me than any other
he landed" Jack declared. You re-
member how he came out with rush
at the start? He smashed me with a
right to the side of the head before
could get set. My knees wobbled
and all / could do was reach for him
and clinch. I saw at least three Fir
pos IN front Of me all the rest of the
round. That punch hurt worse than
the one that sent me out of the ring.
We were up against the ropes then
and I lost my balance, but was
lucky to get back in and last the
round"
It is strange coincidence that
Dempsey's fight with Firpo was re-
sponsible for the rule-about retiring
to neutral corner-that cost him a
probable victory over Tunney at Chi
cago in 1927. If the Maulcr got the
breaks" in his battle with Firpo he
failed to get them at Soldier field.
where the fourtcen-count that Tun-
ney received while Dempsey was be-
ing chased from one corner to another
enabled the champion to recover fast
er from the efforts of his knockdown
in the seventh round.
That seventh round possibly was
Dempsey's last great charge, the final
fling OF one Of the greatest two-fisted
punchers Of all time. For six rounds
Tunney had piled up points, Outlook

I
Whether or not Jack Dempsey re-
turns to the ring this year, the IA
nous Maulcr Of Manassa can hardly
hope to add any greater thrills to the
fistic pages than he did in his men,
orablc battles with Luis Angel Firpo
at the Polo grounds in 1923 and with
James Tunney at Soldier field in 1927.
In all the history of heavyweight
boxing, there has never been a more
savagely wagcd contest than Dcmp-
sey's Suggest nth Firpo nor a bout
followed by greater controversy than
that surrounding the LONG count" in
Tunneys favor at Chicago.
They will still be talking about
these battles around the fistic fire
sides fifty years from now. And it's
fairly safe to say that the glamour
around Dempsey and his perform
ances over the period of years from
Toledo to Chicago will be as great az
that which has been preserved in con-
nection with John L. Sullivan up to
this time.
For Dempsey not only brought new
competitive thrills to the prize ring.
but marked new era in the boxing
buslncss-from the viewpoint of
gates" as we'll as the size of his
purses.
When they talk about his bout with
Firpo. it is chiefly in recollection of
the whitehead Dempsey hurting
backward through the ropes and clear
out OF The ring from the force of
half shove ad right swing, deliver-
ed in blind rage by the Wild Bull
after he had teen knocked down
seven times in the first round.
A worlds championship was in
Firpo's hands then and there, as the
shaggy Argentine stood alone in the
ring for q flceting few seconds. but
an upward shove from rcwspapermen
acting N self defense helped the
champion regain the canvas and
weather the storm.
No two fighters ever went to their
corners groggier than did Dempsey
and Firpo after that ,,ectic opener.

men were too excited themselves to

GUN FANS AT ODDS
WITH POOR LIGHT

Only six members of the Juneau
Gun Club took in the Sunday shoot
at the Club traps. The light was
poor and made it difficult to shoot
high scores.
Truesdale was high for the day
with 25 out of 25 for the first
string. Llano Morris and Radde fol
lowed with "a each and McNaugh-
ton and Morrison with 10 each.
Rice was low with Is for the first
string, but later raised his average
for the day.
Morris, shooting for perfect
SO, fell down by one point and
must shoot a perfect so next week
end in order to hold his own and
maintain his average.
The club plans on shooting for
a trophy next Sunday. The tro-
ply has been put up by Emery
Valentine and the fans are hoping
for clear, warm weather and a
large turnout.
