Despite the size of the score, it I was Minnesota's siubborn defense [that licked the Boilermakers. Pur- ' due failed to score a field goal tin-. j til midway in the first period and I lagged the entire second half after I commanding an IS to 15 lead at ; half-time. | Offensively, the Gophers clicked , better than against any other foe, with Johnny Kttndla, sophomore giant, scoring 211 points. Jewell Young, Purdue's conference scoring leader, maintained his long lead with 15 points, boosting his total to 90 for six games. 1 Indiana hnruTed Chicago with more ease than the Hoosiers an-. ! ticipated after the Maroons' unex-' [ pected victory over Loyola. Co- : | t'apts. Ken Gunning and Vent Huff- ■ man led Indiana out of danger after T7i7Cago had tied the score 17 , to 17 at the end of the first period. Ohio State, which invaded the , west with a chance to gain an tin- , disputed lead while Illinois remain- ] cd idle, dropped to sixth place in the standings by losing to Wiscon- , j sin in an overtime period. Tied 30 to 30 at the end of reg- ' ttlar playing time, the Badgers : twice came from behind during I tough flurries under the basket and i clinched their second victory of ithe season. Northwestern and lowa, both deft- : nitely out of the running, staged a I dogfight for one full half before Sam Johnson, lowa forward, dropp- 1 ed in three straight field goals and [ pushed the Hawkeyes far out in front early in the second period. I ! Johnson scored 15 points. Illinois swings back into the I race for the first time since snatch- ! ing the lead from Purdue against Chicago here Saturday night.

Feb. 9.—<U.RJ I paused in the lobby of Madison Square Garden last night to have another look at the collection of fight prints that hang there. This Ix>uvre of clout has them all -Sullivan, Fitzsimmons, Corbett, Dempsey and the rest of the heavyweights down to and including the incumbent. Mr. Janies J. Braddock. It seemed incongruous to see Jim's picture handing up there along with those of men whose names will live as long as tho snort itself. It struck me as strange that a man who is supposed to be the best knuckle-flinger in the world could hold out for almost two years before finding whether he still has a claim to that distinction. And the pictures seemed to agree with this theory. As 1 studied a print of Sullivan, with bdre fists cocked, a handlebar mustache drooping over his jowls and wearing an expression that seemed to say. “I can lick any man in the world for beer, money or fun,” I could almost hear the Boston strong boy's words: "Boxing is a sport. A good sport never violates a promise — and that’s what Braddock, spurred on by his backers, wants to do. When he won the title he automatically pledged Io defend it against the best man available —regardless of race, political affiliations or money. He promised to meet Schmeling after Max beat Louis. Now he is sidestepping the issue because he’s afraid he can't make enough money if he fights Schmeling.'' I move dover to a picture of the second Dempsey-Tunney fight in Chicago—the one that more than 100,000 persons paid $2,658,660 to see. And I doubted that Braddock, who wants to risk his title against Louis in the same Soldier Field, would even come close to drawing that many peope — regardless of where, when and whoever he meets in his first defense. “We paid to see fighters in action,” the blur of humanity packed around that ring and far up into the darkness of the huge stadium seemed to say: “We knew this one would go dewn in history and we fought to lay our dough on the line to see it.” Hard by the Tunney-Dempsey shot was one of old Jim Corbett. “It was back in 1892," old Gentleman Jim appeared to remark, “that I won the title from Sullivan at New Orleans. He insisted on a side bet of SIO,OOO. The purse was $25,000 so it added up to a winner-take-all stake of $45,000. The fight went 21 rounds. “Those side bets were the custom in our day becausewe were willing to risk everything on one [ throw of the dice. Guarantees? i Training expenses? Why they I would nave laughed us out of the

" i After leaving the garden with its memories 1 walked by the i Hippodrome still thinking about those two fisted-old timers. And outside the Hippodrome the dream faded.

It included: continuance of benefit payments under the soil conservation act; if pro”iction exceeded demanu, an increase in payments for withdrawal of acres from cultivation; and "positive production i control.” The latter appeared most likely to meet opposition. It would require legislation which likely would meet stiff opposition in congress.
