Feb. 7—(U.R)—An-1 other quick knockout was added today trt Primo Cnrnera's American record which now reads: February 6 Knocked out Cowboy Hilly Oweiiw, after one round and 23 seconds. January 31 Knocked out Elienr R.'oux ill 47 seconds. January 24 Knocked out Big I Hoy Peterson in 70 seconds. Camera, weighing 270 pounds,, finished Ow ns. a 228 poun I nonde-l script from Guthrie, Okla., with a| series of lefts and rights to th--| head in the second round last night | liefore a crowd of 7,500. Owens ■ was counted out after the fourth, light to the Jaw. After holding Camera in the first round, even baffling him a: in-fighting. Owens wilted under I two-fisted attack to the head as! soon as the second round got tin-1 derway. Owens was actually hit last night and did not collapse from fright as did Camera's other two opponents. Owens rushed into Camera several times in the first round and landed half a dozen blows. None of them did any apparent damage, but he was in there trying as long as he remained erect. Camera will take on another ooubtful opponent at St. Louis Tuesday night. The victim will be Buster Martin, 200-pound Oklahoman, who was picked after Tinv Roebuck, former Haskell Indians' football star was held by the Missouri state boxing commission to be an unsuitable opponent. ,-s o RUTH OBSERVES HIS BIRTHDAY St. Petersburg, Fla.. Feb. 7. —(U.R) —Babe Ruth celebrated his 37th birthday today, playing golf and awaiting the opening of the 1930 baseball season during which, he may receive the largest salary ever paid a professional athlete. Now he's a holdout. Seventeen of Ruth's 37 years have been spent in the National pastime, and he admitted today that his love for the game is great er than ever. "You might think I'd be tired of it," said Ruth between practice swings with a mashle at the imaginary out-curve, his squinted eyes envisioning a distant fence and a disappearing ball. "But I'll admit I'd rather go'up there and take a cut at one and slap it over the fence Than eat." Wlien one considers that othei birthdays found the Babe showing the effects of his fondness for eating. that's a strong statement and should .b ing cheer to Yankee fans who ate awaiting word of the signing of the hpme run king. At 37. Ruth is in splendid physical condtion. apparently. He says he is, and attr.butes it to golf. Incidentally, the big ball player is getting to be quite a nifty goiter. He is always on the go these days, and sometimes breaks 80. “It takes the same swing as a ball game," Ruth said somewhat inaccurately but quite enthusiastically. talking of his fondness for the royal and ancient game which comes second only to baseball in his affections. “The only diff rence is you don't run when you hi' a golf ball. Not unless you hit somebody with it." The Babe looked hack to his sand lot days, when he got his start as a kid in Baltimore. He mourned the passing of the sand lot. “If they don’t quit using up all the acreage for buildings and parking spaces, there's not going to be any more baseball," Ruth pre dieted. "A husky kid around the city hasn’t got any place to let oif steam. “But I guess baseball’s the favorite American sport and always will be. It's healthy exercise and it keeps the kids clean minded and out of trouble." o SPORT TABS Chicago. Feb. 7.—With the ex ception of one rookie pitcher, every man who will be a member of the Ch’cago Cubs' spring training boater, has signed contracts for the coming season, President William Veeck announced today. Hazen Cuyler, outfielder, was the last of the regulars to sign, accepting a two-year contract yesterday.

Excelsior Springs, Mo.- Shifting, of the Topeka western league baseball franchise to another city with the purchase of the club by the St Louis Cardinals appeared virtually I certain today, according to I)alo| Gear, president of (.he western I ' league, Berlin. Frankie Gennro, Amer[iean claimant to the worlds flyweight championship, was disqualified for hitting low in the eighth round of a Scheduled lu-round bout 1 with Harry Stein, former German 1 champion, last night. New York Jess Hawley, former lowa and Dartmouth tootba-ll coach. Is repotted to be considering |an offer from the University of Minnesota. Hawley resigned at 1 Dartlimoitth because of his business interests in Chicago. BUTLER NETTER IS INELIGIBLE Ind'anapolis. Feb: 7.—(U.R) —The spectre of professionalism, which has haunted many a university athletic team during recenty months, stalked into the Butler university camp today and with the assistance of other factors, wrecked one of country's best basketball squads. Oral Hildebrand, captain and one of the stars of the team, played professional baseball last summer for a Brazil, Indiana team, and consequently forfeited his right to indulge in amateur athletics, accordling to affidavits presented the Indiana Intercollegiate conference. He used the nom de plume of Roy Hilden. the affidavit said. The Butler faculty committee immediately ruled Hildebrand ineligible. Dick Wolfe. Hildebrandt's undertudy as center, is ineligible because of scholastic standing, and Curly Hinchman, leading contender for the place vacated when Maurce Hosier, floor guard, graduated last w'eek, was too ill today to plav n the game with Waitash at Crawordsville tonight. Hildebrand and Hosier were the mly two members of the Bulldog squad left over from last year's national championship team. Hiltfebrand led all players In Indiana n individual scoring. Arthur Groner, secretary of the Brazil chamber of commerce, signid the affidavit which spelled Hildebrand's doom He said Tubby Moffett, athletic director and lead basketball coach at DePattw tniversity, solicited his signature o the affidavit. Groner said that Hildebrand had played 11 games if baseball under the name or Roy Hilden, and that he had received 140 in payment for each game. Tony Hinkle, Butler basketball oach, who always keeps a big | string of men in practice on the| hardwood courts, set about the task I of build ng up a team fo'r tonight'.-, contest against Wabash, with only two or three regulars on the string. ! Forwards remain intact, with i Christopher and Allen on the job. Tackett, sophomore back guard, ■vas expected to play center, and j Reynolds and Evans, reserves, were expected to take their places at guards. This will cripple the reserve list, leaving only Chadd and Winthrow on the squad which, has been on the sidelines for first call for substitutions during the season. _ o j COLLEGE BASKETBALL o. - o Princeton. 33; Wiliams, 26.

BASKETBALL IS ' IN LIMELIGHT Indianapolis, Feb. 7 (U.R) With sectional tourneys Just around the , corner, Indiana scholastic hardi wood mentors were to start putting pre sure on their quintets in J preparation for the opening of the ' elimination series. Three weekends of scheduled games remain 'before the district play begins in I 64 centers Friday, Feb. 28. Starting tonight, one of the most promising cards of the season will lie presented to Hoosier I 'fans. Rivalry games and battles I , between topnotchers are featured. - I in which existing tangled ratings j , may lie partia’ly cleared, or furth--r muddled. Vincennes and Washington, two j of the most heated rivals. in state prep circles, will clash for the third time this season. The Hatchets, victorious in 18 of 19 route ts, hp'ds two previous victories over the Alices and will be ( a favorite. In Big Ten. conference games, Logansport, one of the recent quintets showing increased power, ' will invade Kokomo, and holds the edge, while Anderson's speedy Indians are expected to measure Lebanon. Frankfort probably will topple Newcast'e at Frankfort although the Trojans showed signs of improvement in beating Tech of I Indianapolis Wednesday. RochesI 'er should prove easy for the I Bearcats at Muncie. Morton (Richmond) plays at Bloomington, while Tech, the ->ther Big Ten five, is idle. Greencastle, one of annual “dark horses” , entries, will entertain an old rival, Brazil, while Peru, another team 'n the same class with Greencastle probably will triumph at Marion i Martinsville will play another of 'ts annual contests with Bedford, > but the Stonecutters are not up to heir usual strength this season, and the game has attracted little attention. Columbus should repeat a previous win at Green— ! burg. Connersville at Rushville. Washington (east Chicago) at Froebel (Gary). Horace Mann •Gary) at Rooseyelt (East Chicago). Shortridge (Indianapo'is) at Delphi. Franklin at Greenfield, Jefferson at Huntington, New Allmny at Mitchell, and Wiley (Terre Haute) at Seymour are other features. Three tilts feature Saturday’s card. The paths of Columbus and Frankfort, two of the outstanding favorites in the title race, will -ro s at Columbus, providing the feature engagement of the week. The Bull Dog's flashy offense will meet a severe test against the r-hantp’s sow-, deliberate style. Shelbyville invades Dayton, 0., to meet the Buckeye champions. Stivers and Anderson will battle Tech •it Indianapolis in the latter game, two quintets that will battle it on* in the Indianaipolis regional for -ntrance into the select 16 to compete for the state title, will clash for the only time this season. Central (Evansville) goes to Vincennes. Jefferson (Lafayette) wil' play at Logansport, Lebanon Invades Richmond, Rushville comes to the capital city to meet Shcrtridge, and Brazil plays Gerstmeyer at Terre Haute in other das * A engagements. • —o I h; Shootin' ’Em and Stoppin' ’Em, one of the well-known Ind anepolis sport? writers who never gets down this way to see basketball games says: “Things we are told. Decatur should be considered by those who separate the chaff from the wheat.” —oOo — And the Hartford City News breaks down and confesses the following: "From what we hear, the Decatur Angels, formerly Yellow Jackets, are going to be at the state this year. As Dick Heller, the Decatur scribe, modestly admits they, have the best coach in the state and one of the best teams, there is not much to keep them away." —oOo — And we repeat ladies and gentlemen, that, the Curtismen are one of the best teams In the state and ths Monrovia Butcher Boy is one of the best coaches in the state. —oOo — Tonight the Commodore-Kirkland game takes the limelight. Two Adams* county teams will battle at 8:15 o’clock at Decatur Catholic high school hardwood. —oOo — The Kangaroos as usual have a couple of utility men laid up with sickness. But that never dampens the Kirk- . land spirit anymore. It's be- i came a habit this year for Kirkland to enter tough games i

with a crippled squad. oOu— Conch George l>iureni reported bls Commodores in good condition. IHe may shift his usual lineup slightly ut Hie start of the game. | But regardless of everything, the tillin' tonight Is going to he u | thriller. oOo — It’s the only game of the week in which a Decatur team participates. You'd better go early and get a good seat, for you’re going to see a real net tussel. oOo — Baskethawls received a letter today from Neil Corcoran, publicity director of th- Indiana Catholic Net : tournament, which will be held lc Indianapolis March 7 and 8. —oOo — Corcoran says anything the Decatur fans want concerning the tournament is theirs for the asking. We might suggest that a little better facilities be arranged for sports writers covering the tourney. Basketbawls can’t forget the muddle of last year. 000 — Th» Commodores will enter the state Catholic tourney as a darkhorse team. They have lost to several other teams which are entered in the met. But the Commodores are going a lot better and if they can hold up under the stiain'of another month We'll all be going down to the Erie one of these days to send the Laurent-1 men to Chicago to the national 1 tourney. ' —oOo — Buck over at the West Suburb is spending a lot of time looking up past history in Wells county net circles. We’ve noticed when basketball teams get to weak they can't hope for much, their supporters always delve into what used to be. —oOo— Bluffton fans are having # hard ' time seeing the Tigers winning the; sectional this year—but wed guess they’ll crash though with a title.' —oOo— The Adams county teams will furnish seme opposition, but we doubt seriously if they can weather the storm and win. Bluffton has a lot of power and a lot of reserve strength,

And if you haven't secured tickets, see W. J. Krick at Decatur high school. 000 And don't forget that Decatur high school Yellow Jackets fear no team this year.
