With Bismarck all but conceded
victory in the title game, the final
contest occasioned only an almost
uninterrupted series of scoring plays
BY Bismarck. sprinkled here and
there with a few successful Turtle
Lake shots.
Big Ted Meinhover and John
Spri2gs led the Bisn1arckers in scor-
ing, each counting 10 points, and sew
Ell of the eight Demons in the game
succeeded in adding to the Demon
total. Underwood, for the most part,
rcsorted to a long shot game, with A.
Berg. forward. being the most uc-
Cessful and caging two goals.

in the first quarter and left the floor
between halves with a q to 5 margin.
The northerners were submerged rs
to ) in the second half, with Demon
reserves in the game most OF the
time.
Came Packed Comedy
Two incidents in the game brought
laughter from the fans. In the first,
Meinhover, jumping against a short
opponent in a Mutt and Jeff act,
tipped the ball through the basket
from the free throw line without
wTin,Sling the net.
Later in the game an Underwood
man took the ball out of bounds IN
der his own basket. He surprised
both the spectators and Harold TAFT
by handing the ball to the rangy Bis
marcls forward, who was in perfect
scoring position. TAFT took the ball
Willingly and stood there wondering
for probably three seconds without
making d move. AS il suddenly real
izing the game was OH and that the
referee was not planning to blow his
whistle, TAFT passed to Meinhover as
the 10 players gathered under the
baske. from all corners Of tine floor.
Bismarck failed to score in this in
stance despite q series Of short shot
attempts in quick succession.
Coleharbor, though inaccurate in
the shooting department, displayed a
dazziing floor game in the prelimin-
AIRY and Wilton was outclassed by a
wide margin. Nelson, center, and Don
Saldin, midget forward. proved the
most successful at scoring, each get
ting four field goals. Saldin's play
stamped him as a clever dribbler and
nice passer. Richard Saldin and
Fuglie also played we'll in the fray.
Robert S.ldin, a third brother OF the
family, also entered the contest and
succeeded in scoring.
Nielccn Scores Heavily
Sterling play of Nelson. forward
who scored Is points, and Mike Nc
CURE, guard who had eight points to
his credit, helped Washburn beat Un-
derwooo % to % In the consolation
final game, which was anybody's
game until the last quarter. AL
Wasi1burn men in the game scored
from the field. Cannon. Henricks, and
Edgar were the best for Underwood.
