Though all of Bismarck's basket
ball teams will swing into action this
week only one game is slated to be
played in Bismarck.
The one game will find st. Mary's
high school facing Glen Ullin at the
Saints gymnasium Saturday night.
Manager Neil Churchill will take
his Bismarck Phantoms to Steele to-
night to meet the fast independent
team Of the. Kidder county city.
Steele, with an impressive string Of
victories over the best independent
teams in this section Of the state, is
reputed to be stronger than ever.
But Church expects his team to take
the victory, no matter how small
the margin. Making the trip with
the Phantoms tonight will be Hank
Brown, Elmer Benser, and Tuzz
Roberts, forwards; Bermel, center;
Burdick and Schlosser, guards; and
Van Wyk, player-coach.
Phantoms VI. Trainers
Thursday night the Phantoms will
meet the strong State Training
School five on the training school
floor in Mandan. The Trainers, win
ners of the district independent
championship last season, are said
to be as strong this year as last.
They will have Mike Geston and
Mutt Gronvold, former University Of
North Dakota athletes, and Helbling
and George Heidi, former Mandan
high school stars, in their lineup,
which is the same as last year with
the exception of Doc Burdick, who
is playing with the Bismarck clan.
The Trainers defeated the Phan-
tom second team, which is as strong
as the first team in Churchill's opin-
ion. a short time ago and are plan
ming to add the regulars to their vic
tim list.
The Trainers lost but one game
last season.
Churchill said today that the dis
trict tournament this year will be
held March l and 2. The place of
the tournament has not been selected.
It was held here last year. Included
in this district are teams in Mclean,
Sheridan, Logan, Mcintosh, Emmons,
Morton, Grant, Sioux, Oliver, Mer-
Ger, and Burleigh counties.
Churchill is also dickering for a
game with the jamestown Indepcnd-
ents in the near future, possibly next
week. He will bring the Washburn
American Legion five, the team that
holds a victory this season over the
Phantoms, to Bismarck, Jan. 81, he
announced today.
Demons Take Trim
Coach Roy Mcleod will take his
Demon squad to Valley City and
jamestown Friday and Saturday
nights respectively, and the local
high school youths seem to be in for
a lot Of trouble this weekend. They
came out Of the Mandan game last
weekend without any serious in
juries.
St. Mary's cagers will 60 to Daw-
son Friday night but will return Sat-
urday to meet the Glen Ullinites here
that evening.
The newly organized American
Legion quint, which scored an inn
pressive victory over Company NJ at
Fort Lincoln Sunday with an SO to
IL count in its first game, is dicker-
ing with the Mandan Trainers for 4
game this weekend, though no game
has been definitely carded yet. The
new Legion five, under the manage
ment Of A. L. Fosteson, is dickering
for games with ali the strong teams
in this district, including the Minot
Independents and Minot Redbirds.
