BIG TEN GAGE IN SPOTLIGHT j Chicago, Feb. 15 — (U?J - Title j and near-champion claimants tn 1 ( Rig Ten basketball roused today I j to face their most arduous week Jof competition since the season opened. Nine games, four of them tonight are booked with NorthI western, conference champions ! upset Saturday night 30 to 25 by I lowa, meeting Purdue in crucial | test next Saturday. Minnesota J and Michigan, other hopefuls, play twice this week. , Chances of a clear title for any j contender disappeared in Saturday j night's games which revived hopes | of some for at least a share in ; the championship. -Six teams — ] Northwestern, Purdue, Minnesota. . I Michigan. Ohio State and Illinois , —still are in the running at the t half way mark. The Wildcats' defeat, which was lowa's second triumph of the souj son. ended a run of seven succesi sive victories, several by one-point ■ margins. Northwestern, now vir- . tually tied with Purdue since each I has lost one game, still must play I the BoNlermakers twice and meet i Michigan and Ohio State on for- . cig n floors. Purdue, however, has seven games left, the first against I Nor’hwestern at LafayMte Satur- . day night. The Boilermakers i whipped Chicago Saturday night i 40-27, and now are in undisputed | second place. Minnesota was handed its sec- ] mid defont and pushed out of j second place--when Indiana, hope- ] lessly out of the title running, ] won 27-22 In their second victory 'of the season Michigan, defeated , 14-13 Saturday night by Michigan . State, practically is tied with the ' Gophers, each having suffered two i defeats. To keep near the top ! the Wolverines must win over an ' improved lowa team tonight, while Minnesota faces Illinois. Ohio State made it two straight • over Illinois by winning 29-26 on the home floor. The Buckeyes have one of their toughest assignments tonight when they meet I Purdue at latfayettc. The Boiler- ' makers required an rfvertime pcr- ■ iod to beat Ohio State 38-33 nt ' Columbus a week ago. i Indiana is a slight favorite to hand Wisconsin its fifth defeat tonight, wnich would stamp the present season as one of the Badger's worst years.

DEMPSEY TOUR : TO CONTINUE Detroit, Feb. 15. — GJ.R) — Jack Dempsey is the fighter, Leonard D. * Sacks the manager in the present ' unprecedented boxlug tour of the ■ former world's heavyweight champt lon. The third member of the "tini usual trio” Is Jerry Uivadls, the' 1 trainer. "1 do the fighting, the rabbi' doesthe managing, and ‘sex appeal’ does] ’ the training.” Dempsey told me. ! "Anything Sacks does is okay with I me. I have 1.000 per cent confl- > denee in him. He has proved him-, - self whole-heartedly interested in I tny welfare.” Dempsey calls Sacks "the rabbi” and Jerry "sex appeal.” Sacks has been In Dempsey's services for 11 years. His first official connection was In 1918 when he finam.'-i » show called the 'Jack Dempsey revue” immediately after Dempsey had scored a one-rouml I knockout over Fred Fulton. This, was ten months before Jack won’ (the heavyweight title. Prior to that ■ I Sacks had met Dempsey in 1915 when Jack first came to New York, an unknown fighter from the west under management of "John the •Barber" Reisler. That was the in--1 ception of a friendship which nevI erhas faltered. Dempsey and Sacks not only are' business associates but pals. Denip- 1 C sey gets up in the morning about' ] 8:30 a. m. breakfasts lightly and) then takes a walk of an hour or i an hour and a half. Sacks generalily walks with him (if he hasn't been kept up too late the night be ( fore). Not only that. Sacks signs Dempsey’s checks. He picks the j former champion's opponents finally. As a Christinas present Dec. ! 25, 1931. he was given a contract covering an informal verbal agree- , ment of long standing. Sacks actu- , p tally handles all routine connected J wit It the present tour and does it I i with full sanction of Dempsey. . i The legal entanglements and : t mental uisturbances which harrass- . |ed Dempsey when he was training ■ for his first bout with Gene Tun- . ney and in his first attempt to ] jeome ba< k in 1927 are not bother-.. I ing him. Dempsey told me today: “1 am L I. happier in my present surround ! ings than I have ever been during my boxing career." An example of this supervision 1 |came last week at Cleveland. An 1 •attachment was placed on his 1 ' purse, but he didn't know about ft , t ' until yesterday when Sacks told t - ; him. Dempsey never asks Sacks who! i his opponents will be nor does he'. ■ know how much money he will re-j, . ceive. . When Sacks matched Dempsey ( i for a 1-round bout with King Le-| ■ vinsky, ranked number seven I among heavyweights by the Nat-1 ional Boxing Association, he called] . »I)empsey at Sacramento, Calif., and i > said: "I just matched you with King J Levinsky." "That's great." camo back the i . reply. No questions at all. Until < , Jack voluntarily gave him a sign- I cd contract last Christinas, Sacks i never had a contract with Dempsey. The contract says that Sacks < is to share in Dempsey's earnings < i from "every source.” t I Dempsey is expected to gross .] approximately $750,000 in 1932. I more than all the other heavy- ’ weights put together. ( i When lam ready to decide about 1 returning to the ring as a champ- i ion." Jac k told us last night, ‘".’ll I tell Sacks 'I m ready,’ and he can ' match me wifli whoever he wants ( to. I'll fight Sclimeling or anyone 1 'else. When it comes to managing, < !
