DECATUR BEATS MISHAWAKA IN EASY NET TILT Ehinger, Cowan And Hill l ead Way to 32-14 Win Over Cavemen Decatur high school Yellow Jackets shook off a two-game losing streak and trounced the Mishawaka high school Cavemen in a rough basketball game played Friday night at Decatur high school gymnasium. The final count 'was 32-14. . . | Coach Curtis shook up his starting line considerably, and the new combination showed that it was at least worthy of trial. §.Qiiny Ehinger played center and Hndled the crowd when he scored (Vice from the field in the first minute of play and twice later in ilie game. Ehinger also played a great def nsive game and hejd his much I,'gger opponents to a pair of field es. Gerald Strickler started at Inward and did a good job of bas-| I e hailing. Ehinger and Strickler i were formerly utility players and I both deserve a lot of credit in the ; Friday night game. Paired with Strickler was Jim-1 mie Cowan and he had a nice evening. as usual, with 9 points to his I credit. Two veterans held down the guard posts in great shape. I They were Buffenbarger and Hill. I The Jackets started out strong. | showing much aggressiveness, not heretofore seen this season. Every I player was fitting into an air tight Je.ense. Ater the tip-off. Decatur got I possession of the ball, which was tossed to Ehinger atid in less than I 30 seconds the ball had gone thiough the basket for a fielder. This was repeated by Sonny in the next 20 seconds and the crowd, which previously had watched Decatur get off to a slow start was wild. The quarter was all Decatur and ended with the Jackets leading, 13-0. Ehinger had counted three; Cowan placed two through the basket, Hill one and Strickler had scored a free throw. It Wa# In the last three minutes of the second quarter with the score 17-0 that the Cavemen t ame • to life. Young scored a free throw and A. Meuninck and Dornsife ( counted fielders before the half ended making the score 21-5. The third quarter was rough and neither team displayed any great net ability. Coach Curtis substituted Eady and P. Strickler. The count at the end of the third quart- ( er was 29-11. In the closing minutes of the I game, both teams showed a little I roughness and neither aggregation I scored consistently in the last quarter. The final count was 3214. A preliminary between two local teams started the fireworks and the Yellow Jacket reserves beat the scrubs handily. Lineup and summary: Decatur (32) FG FT TP Cowan, f 4 1 9 G.

CARNERA WINS OVER LEVINSKY Chicago, Dec. 10 — <U.R) — Primo Camera, Italy’s mammoth heavyweight, has outgrown the awkward stage. An effective left jab and a good right cross last night won him a one-sided victory over King Levinsky, the wild and eager Chicago puncher. Fourteen thousand turned out out for this revival of last year's tight, and they saw a new Camera. He was fast as ever, but exhibited new ideas about throwing punches. Camera kept his left in Levinsky’s face and pounded King on the jaw with his right. Levinsky was in evident distress during the last two rounds, weary from his own efforts and bleeding at the mouth.

Outside of the entertainment, the (bout proved Camera can take and [give punishment. Levinsky last I night was as close to being knock|ed out as he has ever been. CarnI era now wants to take on Max ( ' Baer, Max Schmeling. and Jack Sharkey. Camera weighed 261 and Levinsky 197. Results of other bouts: I; Young Terry, 159, Trenton, N.

The score was 23-12. The Com-i modore Reserves, also crippl-1 ed because three of their j (regulars were used as vari sity utility men. lost 22-18 to Ossian seconds. The Laurentmen showed a good brand of defense, and local fans believe that the team made a good showing since three regulars were off the squad. The Ossian quintet averages more than 6 feet in height. At half time Ossian held a 5-2 lead, but the Bears came back strong in the third quarter and I put the game on ice. The Commodores made a desperate effort to rally in the final period but the efierts were cut short.

The predictions on. the game all duiring the week had been that the wLinwr would only lie a few points ahead, but the jJeff threat failed to materialize. Berne took an early lead and held on, through tbs game. Coach Olen Marsh of Jefferso.i used only five players in the entire game. The score at the half was 14-7 for Berne and the Bears continued their assault in the second staiaza. Aschilmaun led the Bears in the offense and counted 5 times from the field. Egly.

IT is a matter of dispute as to just which is the toughest and most punishing game on the sport calendar, but at least this much is certain: Football, boxing and ice hockey must be included in any list of the. most gruelling sports. Nowadays fight fans complain about safety-first fighters and "tapping matches,” and yearn for the ; appearance of some Dempsey-like man-killer to liven up the fistic milieu. Bloodthirsty ringworms should remember that even in a dull fight, which produces no thrills or knockdowns, the fighters are taking plenty of very painful punishment. It’s easy to talk about "tapping matches’’ and powder-puff punches, if you’re outside of the ropes sitting back tn a spectator's chair; but if ; some qf the squawkors had to take I part in a couple of ten round bouts I with tough opponents, they might I be more lenient in their criticisms of the boys up in the ring. After all. there are plenty of punch-drunk fighters who are walk-
MINOR LEAGUE MEETING OVER Columbus. 0., bee 10— (U.R) —i Minor league chiefs head horn? ward today, after a three-day 8“»-l sion which instituted the following legislation: Player limits for all leagues. Salary limits for all minors ex-1 ccpt class AA. Drastic penalties for violations! of the salary limit. By unanimous vote of the con- 1 vention the following salary lim-| its will be in force during the 1933 season: Class A — $4,250: class B — $2,000; class C—sl,soo; class D—! SI,OOO. These salaries apply to each! club for one months payroll ex-' elusive of the manager. The Pacific Coast League won Its battle to restrain the association from selling a salary limit! for the class AA leagues and will control its own payroll. The International league and the American association, however, voted on their own initiative to establish salary limits of $6,500. Thus, the Pacific Coast leagues will be the only minor league! without a salary limit. For violation of the salary limI it. the new president of the asso-| elation, Judge William G. Bra„i-f ; ham, of Durham. N. C.. was voted I the authority to select the high- . est priced player of the guilty club and sell him to another club, with the money to go to the asso-' cia'tion’s fund.

ing on their heels and mumbling to themselves as a result of taking too many belts on the whiskers. That’s the way a good club fighter usually winds up He puts up sensational scraps, takes plenty of punishment, becomes a "crowd pleaser” and winds up cutting paper dolls. No sir; you can’t say that fighting has degenerated into a parlor game just yet—not while the cauliflower ears, the split lips and the den ed schnozzles are there to prove the contrary! It's the same with football. Every year some old timer will come out with the statement that modern football has become a game for softies, that it’s merely a petting party compared to the way they played the game in the old days, etc., etc. Now, I didn’t see the old timers play football, so naturally, I can’t venture an opinion as to whether they played a more punishing brand of football than the modern gridmen. But I do know this much: If football was any tougher in those days
signing a false affidavit is subjected to a fine or suspension from organized baseball, or both. The player limits adopted were: Class AA, 18; class A. 16; class' B. 15; class C, 15; class D, 14. The executive committee elect-; ed by the association consists of Warren Giles, president of th«* Rochester International league ‘club; J. Alvin Gardner. Texas league president; Dale Gear.; ; Western association president.; ; Giles will serve for a term of i three years, Gardner for two years' and Gear for one year. Giles auli omatically becomes vice-president! ! of the association. Mike Sexton of Rock Island, 111., president of the association ! sot more than a decade, will be retired on a salary of $2,000. John H. Farrell of Auburn. N. Y„ was elected treasurer at a sal-1 I ary of $3,000. Next year’s convention will be! ■ .held at Galveston. Texas. Iregini ning the third Wednesday in November. The major-minor league agreei ment, drawn up on February 4. : 1931. was adopted by the association and will be in force for 7 ! years. The main feature of the agreement pertails to the drafting of players from the class AA j leagues by the majors. o BASKETBALL SCORES I North Side (Fort Wayne), 27; Central (Fort Wayne; 18.

than it is right now, it must have been just plain murder. Why, last year so many football players were fatally injured that several modifications in the rules had to be passed last winter, in an effort to check the growing list of fatal accidents. This season there have been very few gridiron fatalities, but the game is as gruelling as ever. Just look at the face of the average football star. The mashed-in nose and bat-tle-scarred visage usually resembles that of a boxer who has taken plenty of punishment. You don’t get battered up that way playing ping-pong! Then, too, there are a lot of folks who claim that ice-hockey is the toughest game of ’em all. Hockey stars are always getting laid up with bone-fractures, gashes, sprains and similar injuries. The terrific speed nf the skaters, the vicious ' body-checking and the dangerous swinging of hockey sticks combine to provide the doctors with plenty of work giving first aid treatment to wounded hockey warriors.

I meets mighty Notre Dame here to-. day in a brilliant climax to the; country’s regular intercollegiate | season. More than 100.000 people, the I largest crowd to see a game this year, packed .Memorial stadium to watch the raiders attempt to pull Southern California from its proud place. z Both teams were reported in ex-: cellent physical condition and at full streuglh, leaving the weather the only matter of concern. Showers fell spasmodically i through the night but the skies: cleared a bit this morning. The, downfall did not bog the turf at Memorial s adium and a fairly firm field was assured unless there is , additional rain. The old adage of riding with a I champion until he is beaten was I thrown overboard and the Trojans found themselves distinct under- ■ dogs. Betting favored the Irish, odds reaching as high as 2 to 1 but prevailing at hi to 7. The situation puzzled many i coast experts since Southern Cali-! fornia’s record seemed to entitle ( it to at least an even choice. The Trojans nave won their last 18 games. Included in the string: is a 16 to 14 victory over Notre Damp at South Bend last year. The Irish, of course, are spoiling to avenge that defeat, but. like- 1 wise Southern California cherishes | the national title. A victory over 1 Notre Dame today and over Pitt at Rose Bowl on New Year’s day would insure IT. S. C. retaining the mythical championship won last year. The main point favoring Notre I

Mohler was on his way to all-1 American recognition this season when he was injured in the Stanford game and forced to give up I his career. He was to appear on the field [briefly today, going out to hold the hall on the first kickoff by Southern California. This arrangement I was made between Jones and Coach Hunk Anderson of the Irish. At the actual time of the kickoff, ( the Trojans were to have 12 men on the field, with Mohler trotting out immediately after the opening play. Physicians forced Mohler’s withdrawal from football, stating that a rough jolt might cause his , ' neck Injury to result fatally. Jones announced Mohler’s ap- ! pearance merely as ''sentimental'' j because Mohler had wanted to play against Notre Dame this year. The game starts at 2 p. m. PST. The probable starting lineup: U. S.
