members Of the New Jersey legis-
lature, and. prominent as club
man, broker and banker, was shot
and critically wounded early today

ment here of Miss Ruth Jayne, an
attractive blond.
Three hours after the politician
was taken to hospital in private

the shooting.
Six hours later police knew little
more of the incident than they did
when Detective James Cotter en-
tered Miss Jayne's apartment.
Miss Jayne, who had changed
from her pajamas into a small red
ensemble, set off with brown tur-
ban, brown stockings and high
heeled brown slippers, at first re-
fused even TO speak when taken TO
the police station.

and Immediately became hysterical

All she would say was that some
one had choked her and that she
did not remember anything after
that. She maintained she had not
even heard shot and when shown
a .25-caliber pistol found in the
court yard, directly below her bed
room window, said she never had
seen it.

BUS PETITION
DRAWS IRE OF
NORTH-SIDERS
Smith Faces Defeat on One
of Three Proposed
New Lines.

Three bus line petitions of Lo-
ran J. Smith were heard by the
works board today, and against one
of them so many protests were
lodged there seemed little chance
of its sanction, although the board
took the petition under advisement.
Smith wanted to run a line from
Monument Circle to Capitol avenue
and north to Thirty-fourth street
and vicinity and return.
Representatives from Methodist
and st. Vincent's hospital, from the
Butler Fairview Civic League and
from the park board spoke against
the plan.
Fifty south side women appeared
before the board to urge they grant
permission to Smith to operate a
line from Monument Circle on
Meridian to South street, east to
State avenue, and south to Naomi
street and return. They said the
line would facilitate transportation
of children to high schools.
The third petition, unheard by
the board until later today was for
a line east from the Circle to Ar
senal avenue and return.
The board adopted a resolution
for resWfacing Of East Georgia
street from East to Noble streets,
at a cost of $3,476.

Los Angeles, Jan. 23.-(R-Gam-
bling, if you ask Marshall Duffield,
University of Southern California
quarterback and honor student, is the
spectre which hangs ~menacingly over
intercollegiate football.
The blond giant whose broken field

opponents, Friday put his finger on
what he believers to be the games

This, more than all the efforts of
subsidizlng. large gate receipts and
specialization, will, in Duffield's opin-
ion, send football to an ultimate fall
unless a halt is called.
Approached BY Gamblers
players are approached by friends,

HEBRON FIVE TO MEET IMPS
Biggest Basketball Crowd in
Bismarck History Expected
to Attend Contest
HEBRON FIVE TO MEET lMPS

BiSmarck's Demon cagers are ready
for their first battle this season
against the powerful Fargo Midgets.
When the referee blows his whistle at
8:15 Friday night, two tense, we'll
trained, and ambitious cage squads
will clash in Bismarck's World war
memorial building in the hardest bat
tie each has experienced so far this
season.
Spells of previous practice sessions
are just around the corner. The De-
mons have stressed their defense to
stop the accurate and versatile Fargo
scoring machine. The Midget quint
have polished their offensive forma-
tons.
Both squads realize the game will
be a fierce tussle. The Bismarck high
school squad last year vas crowned
state high school basketball cham
pions. They are determined to win.
Drama and comedy will invade the
Friday night tilt. Fargo's team COM
prises the ~rangiest in the state. Their
gargantuan six-foot-five-inch center,
Rasmussen, is another Meinhover.
Bismarck has a fit running mate for
Rasmussen in little Eddie Agre. Eddie
is the smallest nan in the Demon
lineup. Eddie lacks a bare 10 inches
of being as tall as the Fargo center.
but what he lacks in height he adds
in speed and clever ball -handling.
Coach George Badly" Hays Will
start Captain Johnny Spriggs and
Eddie Agre at forwards. Harold TAFT
at center, and Lester Dohn and Wade
Green at guards. 1t Is assumed Fargos
starting lineup will include Fisher and
Olson at forwards, Rasmussen at CEN
ter, and Aamoth and CharbOnneau at
guards.
Hays is bothered with his alternate
forwards. Finnegan is ineligible for
competition in Friday nights battle.
George Allen, Hays other Demon
forward, will be out of the game. Allen
has had a fever since Tuesday.
Basketball fans throughout the state
will watch the contest in the me-
mortal building with bated breath. A
large crowd is assured. More fans are
expected for the Fargo tilt than at
any previous game in Bismarck. A
bigger group of spectators will be pres
ent than were present at the Demon
Brave tilt. More tickets were sold up
to Friday noon than for any basket
ball contest in the past.
Bismarck's Imps will clash with the
Hebron Brickmakers in the prelim-
mary game that is scheduled to start
ut tbs p. m. The Hebron quint ran
up q points against the Mandan
Braves As points in an early season
tilt. They should prove tough compe-
tition to the Imp squad.

win the worlds Junior welterweight
championship Friday night when he
engages Jack kid" Berg, spectacular
British holder of the 140-pound
championship, in a ten-round bat
tie.
Hess and Berg share the headline
role on the Chicago Stadium card
with Bat Battalino, worlds feather
weight champion, who is meeting Ed
die Shea, rugged Chicago contender.
Both contests r scheduled for ten
rounds, but the featherweight battle
Is a non-championship affair as Shea
agreed to weigh In above the c.aSS
limit OF 126-pounds.
Berg recently returned to America
from London and has not been at the
wars since defeating Billy Petrolle in
New York last October. However, the
popular little English boxer probably
will enter the ring a prohibitive fav-
orite, as he is generally conceded to
carry too many guns for Hess.
Battalino will be engaging 1n his
first contest since he defeated Kid
Chocolate in a is round bout in de-
Tense of his title in New York last
month. Shea, always q menacing
contender in the featherweight div;-
sion, jumped to the top rank of chal-

lenses should place special emphasis
upon this phase of attack. Passing the
ball back and forth in front Of the
zone, also in and out to players who
have penetrated the defense, tends to
draw the defensive men out of po-
sition, thus leaving open some player
for a good shot. The accompanying
diagram represents the formation.
Keeping the ball moving is also
effective against the man-to-man and
other defenses because Of danger Of
defensive men getting off balance in
covering their assigned man. The
guard may rush to intercept q pass
or prevent a deliberate shot and thus
find himself in a bad defensive po-
sition. This happened because the ball
had been kept in motion until one
defensive man had been pulled out Of
position.
The ball moving rapidly in front
Of q defense tends to keep the Of
fensive men mentally alert. This
should lessen the number Of intercept
lions because the players will meet
