an almost 1mpregn1ble defense, the
Bismarck Demons showed under the
Dickinson Midgets, 40 to 8, in a one
sided basketball game at the high
school gymnasium Saturday night.
It was vastly improved Bismarck
team that humbled the Midgets.
Compared to the aggregation which
appeared in games before the holi-
days. the locals loomed as little short
of spectacular.
Dickinson got away to flying start,
finding the hoop for two field goals
and a free throw In the first few
minutes Of the game before the De-
mons were able to marshal their de-
fensive forces and forge ahead early
in the second quarter.
Normie Agre dropped field goal
as Bismarck stiffened and from that
point on the locals had things all
their own way. The MidgetS were
bottled up so effectively that they
failed to register single basket from
the floor during the remainder of the
game and Bismarck had Tailed 20
points before the invaders picked
their next point on q gift shot.
Ue1enSe Is Feature
Although the attack of the De-
mons sparkled at times and was good
enough to pile up 40 points, it was
the defense that provided the feature
of the game.
Aside from the brief furry at the
beginning of the first period, the Mid
gets were powerless in their attempts
to work the ball within shooting
range.
In Finnegan, Dohn, and Captain
Eddie Agre, Coach George Hays has
developed, not only an effective scor-
ing combination, but q trio that func-
lions efficiently on the floor. With
Green and Schlickenmeyer at guard.
it was this combination that started
the second half to show a lot of dy-
Mantle.
The return of Dohn to the lineup
bolstered up the team and he and
Eddie Agre gave the MidgetS plenty
to think about.
Normie Agre, who started with his
brother at forward, proved to be a
competent understudy. scoring three
times from the floor as well as sink
ing free throw.
Eddie Agre was high point man
with seven field goals and a gift
shot with Dohn, who played only
part Of the game connecting for a
total OF eight points and second hon.

Invaders Lead
Dickinson led at the quarter, 5 to
4, as q result OF their early squirt
but the Agre brothers and Shepard
took the play away from them to
sink four field goals and two free
throws to lead at the half, Is to S.
The locals continued to forge ahead
in the third to annex nine points with
Dickinson unable to cope with the
fast breaking Bismarck offense. Fin
negan, Dohn. and Eddie Agre ran
the visitors ragged while Green and
Sch1ickenmeyer parted their attempts
to score.
The final stanza found the locals
going strong as they picked up Is

meet for a field goal In either of the
