MILLER PICKS BUTLER TO WIN Indianapolis, Jan. 15 - (UP) — Indiana fans generally cheer :h»team which is going along undefeated. Rut in baskethull. especially, they enjoy the upset. Right now they are figuring how Central N ;r---mat of Danville Is going to be knocki-d off. This week the Cookmen played Wabash and take Bull-i, T.ie re lent verdict they gain d over Buller by a wide margin pul 111- Dan>die bunch c.h "top of the world". Danville went big against the Bulldogs, ifropping in an average of so per cent of f.helr shots during lire fi.st hall' Eve.y tiling that Coach Cook's boys did was right. Butler lid evi rything all wrong, It seemed costly along the line of hitting the hoop. Things change hipl change fast in Hoosier n t circles. Danville wallop, d the latlldogis by 25 (mints. Then they take the floor at liutl r field house next Friday night tihe betting will likely be even money. Danville did not look etiiii-ly impitssiv • against Valpvriso and had a leal tough nut to crack Monday night in Wabash. Some how or othet wi 'll Wabash and Butler as opponents in tile ,ame w -ek We lather look for the Normal boy; o com crashing down off their pedestal. Much of our prediction is based on the key up. if Coach Cook keyed up his bunilh for Wabash then it is going to b • rather tough to get hem liack on edge lor Hu.ler. (| rtaiir elements figure into cage victories, Playing floo.s, lighting, and crowds are the main factors. Bi.tier is used to a big open floor with th? fans 30 feet away. The lighting at Butler field house is unusually good for such a building. Jilies f.om fans frequently die out before they reach the ears of the players. But having ideal conditions in their favor does not excuse Btnj?t front the obligation required of all great teams, to be good under all conditions. Danviiie ijas a line team and iiythiug to the contrary meets an argument. Their playing floor does no. measure up to the fin,? one at Butler. Still Danville 1 innnij <be accused of having a poor gym. The ighling is not a* good as it is at lie field house. Th,- jilves of the fans at Danville got the But!; r boys goats. When Danviiie hit 80 per cent of their shots in the first half Butler made a lialloon ascension. Thus cam ■ tlhe 40-16 verdiet. If the cha.ges of poor lighting, small floor, and clos ne s of fans o the playing floor are used as an agrument to alibi Butlers defeat, then the same arguments should he nvok (I in favor of Danville here xt Friday nigh:. The bright lights it the field house might be glary to Danville. The big floor may result in their becoming "lost" on lie.e, and tihe distance between hi floor and tile c.owd may result n a I'ailiite on the part i.f the Danville boys to realize they are near he side lines. Butler will hardly lie ome rattled m tlj r own floor, but Danviiie is lot lii inexperienced bunch. The game will be a hard fought affa.r Com tlie outset and if Danville goes into this battle sitting on top the Hoosier baske ball world, undet atad. that is ro indication that they .till continue tihat way. Indiana fans like theii upsets and it's about time for a good one. Butler is just such i team. Gradually the Coaching berths va•a ed at stat, schools are being fill >u. It now appeals that GeorgCeogan, | op ilar basketball mentor d Notre Dame, is to again assum. die duties of baseball coach. Keo Ran coached the diamond squad in 1924 '25, and '26 and then centered his entire time on basket ball. Now that Tommy Mills has accepted lie head coaching job at Georgeown, thie- vacancies must be f it'd. K?ogan will fill the Baseball job e.y handily but we wonder who Hll ta.e ove. the rein, in boxing ind wrv tling. Mdis also aided in oaching football and did all Hie ;rid scouting, it appears that li s < ss ' ft a much greater gap in the lish .oaching staff than on- realzes when reading.

SHUTE WINNER IN GOLF MEET Los Angeles. Jan. 15 —(U.R)—The wand of victory touched a rank otltaider at the Riviera. Country ('lull late yesterday as Denny Shutez young professional from Columbus, 0., tramped over a rainswept course to win the fifth annual Loh Angeles SIO,OOO open olf tournament. Experts had failed to figure Shute as anything more thah a ‘dark horse” before the tournament started last Friday, and many be’ieved after Shute got out n front that Horton Smith, Joplin, Mo., or some other favorite won d overtake the slim Ohioan before the 72 holes were finished. The Missouri player made a valiant effort, but when the totals were figured, he had 300 strokes to tie Bobby Cruickshank, Progress. N. Y.. for second place while Penny was four better with a total of 296. The Loh Angeles open was the ’’ st major event; to lie claimed by Shute since he became a professional about two years ago. He was tied for fifth in the National open the year he left amateur ranks and last year he took third. Shute played a consistent game over the boggy course. A review of liis score card showed that he 'lid not have a “blow-tip” on a single hole. He shot birdies ami occasionally missed a putt but ho e after hole lie checked up even with par. , The winner became a serious contender Sunday when he led the field with Horton Smith two strokes lyehind. Monday Shute increased his lead to three strokes •-■nd Bobby Cruickshank evened tin with Horton Smith in second place.

The final round yesterday developed into a battle between tlie three nlayers with Shute holding bis lead. At the end of the first nine he and Smith still were separated by three strokes, while Cruickshauk had taken 39 and had fal’en six strokes back of Denny. The New York player put on a great exhibition in the afternoon mi l caught up with Horton by shooting his final nine in 36, par. Sowever, Shute gained a stroke over both of his closest rivals. Shute co’lected $3,500 in prize money while Smith and Cruickshank each took $1,312. Other leading prize winners and ♦ hetr scores were; Al Espinosa. Chicago, 303, S6OO. Tommy Armour, Detroit, 304, S4OO. Leo Diegel, Agua Caliente, Mexico, 305, $275.
