Boudreau, a junior whose spark ling play for two •-■easons earned him the title "Red Grange of Illinois basketball." reportedly ordered the club to stop remittances in return for a promise of reinstatement if he severed his connection with professional athletics. "The money never wa« used to help me through school.” he said. "I never needed it myself.” He had been working his way through school by odd jobs around the campus. He indicated everything went to his mother at Harvey, ill. t hope to play profession!! baseliall when 1 leave school," he said. "But I've got to have a college education to fall back on.

Slapnecka said that if Boudreau did not sign a contract eventually, the cheeks were to be considered "loans" and the money would have to 'be repaid. Boudreau, one of the cleverest forwards lllinos has seen in years, is a bright prospect for some major league infield on the basis of his work at third base for Illinois. There is no agreement to prevent Major League dubs from raiding colleges for talent. Although Boud reau had no written contract, his verbal agreement violated the Big Ten code and he was banned at once. lit was known Cleveland was interested in the flying Frenchman but scouts had Informed campus reporters they would wait until he finished at Illinois. Added to Boudreau's loss was the inneligibility of Lew Dehner, gangling center, who leads the Big Ten in scoring with 97 points in six games. Dehner failed in physiology and even if he is granted a special examination, he will not be able to play against Purdue Monday. Illinois gave Purdue its only defeat of the season.

George Sobek, Hammond's grea. gard, scored 18 points -12 of them on free throws—but it was his foul on Lee Moore, substitute Muncie forward, that cost th» game.

Feb. 3. —<U.Ri —As a sports writer I deal in courage of a sort. For most the men I write about are brave, else they wouldn't be competitive athletes. If you're a fighter and you're yellow you quit after the first time you are beaten. If you're a cowardly football player. one trip to the sidelines on a stretcher is enough- A baseball player who stays in the majors is sure to have had a fast one right at his head. There's no place for th° white feather in any sport, be it the ones I have mentioned or tennis, or polo, or track or any of the others yon can name. In my ten years of sports reporting I have written, many times, of the bravery I have seen. I have employed time and again, such words as heroic, steadfast, gallant, heart, courage, and sacrifice. I meant them, because as a sports writer I have seen fine displays of courage in area. bowl, stadium, and all the other places that men combat at sport. Today I wondered, for the first time, if I hadn't been guilty of an exaggerated use of words. Because today I stood in the Alamo. Davy Crockett looked down at me from the walls—ol' Davy, who died with his coonskin shirt soaked with blood and with his finger r-' th» trigger of old "Betsy.” So did Captain William Travis, who, 102 years ago, drew a line on the sand floo* of the Alamo and asked those of his small band who were ready to fight to the end, to step across it. Also looking down was James Bowie, who when he heard Travis' request propped himself up on his sick bed and said: “Boys, four of you lift my cot and move me across that line and hand me my Bowie knife.” It is historical fact that when the Alamo—"the cradle of Texas liberty — was reached by friendly forces, not. a man was alive, and James Bowie's cot was heaped with the dead of the enemy. Like all the others, he had died shooting and swinging his b'ade. Here was raw courage. Know ing they could surrender and get quarter, they preferred to stay on behind the abode walls of the lit. tie building that overnight was transformed from a mission into a slaughter house. When I walked out of the Alamo into the bright sunshine of a San Antonio winter day. I asked myself if I hadn't been wrong in crediting athletes with supreme courage. My first answer was yes, LOANS $lO to S3OO to Qualify NO ENDORSERS NO CO-MAKERS Let u« solve your money problems Convenient repayment terms Cell, writ? er LOCAL LOAN COMPANY INCORPORATED Reemi I and 2 Schafer Building Decatur, Indiana Phone 2-3-7 Etery rreertf rteoivtt our >roa>t «ei reorf*eM t otintiou. f

GUEST NIGHT FRIDAY | Officials of the Decatur high | school will stage an innovation in basketball here Friday night at the local gytn. when the Decatur Yellow Jackets tangle with the Winchester quintet of the same name- The local school will 'bserve "guest night.” With each paid admission. | one guest will be admitted tree of charge. This applies to both students admission at 25 cents and adult admission at 35 cents single. Holders of season fleets may also bring a guest free. ■ and then I got to thinking about it and far-fetched, or not. I came to the conclusion that such bravery as was shown in the Alamo has become a definite heritage, con-, sciously or subconsciously—of the ! American youth. He plays the ; game to the hilt. Ask any foreign athlete what he respects most in his American competitor and he will tell you this: “His absolute refusal to give in or up until it’s all over.” So hail to you. Davey Crockett, and to you Bill Travis, and to you James Bowie. I. for one. like to believe that I your gallantry and courage is still alive on the sports fields of America.
