MIDDIE CHAMP SAYS HE PLANS BUSY PROGRAM Johnny Wilson Hopes to Prove He’s Not Fluke as Titleholder. MEETS ROSTAN TONIGHT By DOX CHAMBERLAIN, United Prn Staff Correspondent. CHICAGO. Feb. 10— A score of middleweight battlers In various parts of the country who have been hurling challenges at Champion Johnny Wilson are going to be given an opportunity to flatten their fists on Johnny’s nose or be flattened, Wilson told the United Frees here today. Tired of being called the "fluke" champion because he Is accused of winning the title by catching Mike O'Dowd of St. Paul off form, Wilson said he is ready to take on all comers, just as fast as bouts can be arranged. Wilson probably is the least feared champion of all time. Practically every ’‘ham’’ has asked him for a fight. If Wilson accepts all the challenges thrown at him he would be putting on a continuous performance “They think I am a fluke and can’t fight," said Wilson. “Well, I’ll give 'era a chance to find out. I’m ready to take on all comers now, and I don't draw the line on Mike O'Dowd. He hasn’t anything to show me except a lot of tunny faces when he gets in the ring. If O’Dowd wants to tight I will take him on next week, and I say next week adviseiily, because I am now iu shape to meet him or anybody else.” Wilson’s desire to mix it is due to an ambition to clean up half a million dol lars before he retires from the ring. “I figure I am good for eleven years more and ought to be able to make a net profit of half a million in that time,’’ he said. Wilson is now 27. Wilson makes bis ■Western debut as champion tonight at Kenosha, where he takes in Novy Rostau In a ten-round bout. Following tonight's bout Wilson plans to go to Cleveland for a series of bouts in Ohio.

Crimson Basketeers Throttle Tigers in Contest of Thrills Teams Stage Great Fight, With Indiana Showing Advantage in Pinches . By a Staff Correspondent. BLOOMINGTON. Ind., Feb. 10.—Indiana University's basket-ball representatives used a 24-to-18 victory over the De Pauw Tigers here last night to satisfy to some extent the hunger of Crimson fans for a noteworthy Hoosier State victory. Not only were the Crimson admirers cheered by the victory over De Pauw, but they saw their favorites traveling at a pace that gives promise of the athletes under Coach Levis’ wing squaring their count with Purdue at the next meeting on the local floor. Then another thing, Indiana defeated the Tigers by double the margin that Wabash was able to register over them on the Crawfordsville floor recently, and Indiana supporters are now waiting to see what happens when Wabash and De Pauw get together for the second time of the season on the Greencastle floor March 5. Also, the victory over the Tigers last night indicates the Crimson machine is In form and ready to battle for a high position in the Big Ten race. Indiana Is standing even with Illinois for the Conference load and Crimson supporters now believe their favorites are destined to finish their Conference schedule in triumph.

SNAPPIER STYLE W INS FOR I. U. Superior speed, a snappier attack at the right time, and a deadly defense, combined to bring about the Indiana victory over De Pauw. The teams fought as even a battle as fans with anything but an exceptionally strong heart could stand, but late in the second session the pace started to tell on Coach Buss’ scrappers and they were forced to accept tho bitter dose, but not without offering a noble fight In which they gave all they bad. Mendenhall started the score pot boiling with a nifty field goal for De Pauw slmrtly after the tip-off. Dean then registered his first of eight foul goals for Vndiana, the feat being followed shortly by a Cannon duplicate. Thomas then threw the teams into the first of three ties for the period on a field goal. Dean then gave Indiana the lead on a foul toss, but Cannon brought things back to even terms with another free throw. Dean tossed another foul and Cannon came back to tie the count for the last time with his free effort. The count now stood 5-all. but not for long. Mendenhall got his second field goal at this stage and the Tigers were showing form that appeared to be worth the victory. Indiana, however, copped a lead that was never lost a few seconds later when Thomas followed Dean’s free throw with a field marker, making the count 8 to 7 In favor of the Levis proteges. Marxson, who had gone in for DeHorlty Just a few moments previous, finished the scoring for the session with a long-shot field goal.

CANNON CAGES ONE-HANDER. Dean and Cannon started the second ! half with their foul goal performances. Indiana shot up four points higher In j the scoring column at the start, but hero they were checked by a De Pauw rally, which netted the same number of points, j Dean and Thomas then stepped out for : two Indiana field goals and Cannon came j hard on their heels with a free throw I and the most thrilling one-hand shot for j a field goal that has been seen on the Bloomington floor fur several seasons j The fighting Tiger leader was smothered : under a heavy guard at the side of the eourt when his left paw shot up and he let fly with a toss that sent tie sphere through without touching the ring. Dean followed with a field and foul goal for Indiana and counted another foul after Cannon had made good an attempt at the free line. Cannon again registered from the little black mark, and the gun was fired as Dean's final field goal went sailing through the hoop. Gipson of De Pauw was removed from the contest late In the second half via the personal foul route. The speedy forward was fighting hard and threw himself around the court In a manner that one cannot do without fouling. The same can be said for Thomas of Indiana, who left the floor a short time after Gipson departed. The big, powerful Indiana athletes seemed far superior to the Tiger* at every angle of the game: their attack was carried out by a smooth-running passing combination and their defense was wonderful, vet they could not shake the Tigers off ;ong enough to throw their books into a comfortable lead. Had the i Crimson been opposing a team with less I courage and willingness to mix than the Bussmen had. then the score would show how the Indiana speedsters were stepping. Indiana brought the hall down the floor time after time for what appeared . to be sure-thing shots from under the basket, but in the majority of cases the t Crimson snipers were snagged by Men- | denhall or Young before they could toss the ball. When they were not stopped | they were in such a hurry that they blew many of their chances. Tha Tiger chances from close range j were few and lar between and White ; caged their only under-tiie-basket shot, early in the second session. Dean, Marxson and Maynard were cutting In fast on the Do Pauwites at all j times and tho Tigers were forced to get I all their shots off In a hurry, yet they , showed more accuraney than 'did the | Crimson. | There wore two men who stood out ' above all others as tha class of the court. They were Cannon of De Pauw and Dean |of Indiana. Cannon got eight foul goals ; and two field markers, while Dean got I the same number of fouls and one more ; field goal. Besides making the. points, i these men stood head and shoulders 1 above the others In covering the court, both on defense and offense. Summary: | Indiana (24).

Last Saturday From 1 to 5 p.m. We Booked Orders for Twenty-Four V IfLJlf of These Splendid Suits That Are . Specially Priced at

Is This a Record ? Within five hours on last Saturday I personally measured twenty-two men for suits. In most instances the men waited on themselves; they picked out their own materials from the display racks and were guided by tho plain figure price tags. For one man to take twenty-two orders for made-to-measure suits in five hours may not be a record, but it at least shows that one of my methods of holding down costs is practical. It is because I save in buying, in rents and in overhead expense that I am able to rnako clothes at the prices I charge.

$5 More for Big Men My prices are for suits for men of normal size—34 to 44 breast measure. For suits measuring 45 to 62 inches I must make an extra charge of $5 in order to break even.

Vandiver was high point man for Franklin, the Blue and White center snagging four field goals and running Kieheson a close race In the foul toss department, making ten free shots count out of thirteen trys. The superior and sense of the Frankllnltes kept their opponents at a safe distance at all times and they nlso showed themselves masters of dribbling and Intercepting passes.

The rules read that a boxeil shall wear nothing above the belt bui regulation gloves, which shall be put oil in the ring. “I’m sorry that I lost my head and hit one of Lewis’ seconds, but he was ragging me and I was indignant over Ted’s action in trying to put one across on me. Maybe you noticed that I elevated my sights after I discovered it* That was one reason why I kept my lefß hand against Ted's nose so much.” If confidence is a virtue in a fighteS the welterweight champion is full of it.

Luckily for me I don’t happen to be a sucker of a boxer.” Asked if he has ever entertained tha thought of retiring, Britton said: “Not for a minute. I like to box better than anything else. I've been at it for nineteen years, which is pretty good proof. I’m still a world’s champion at an age when most boxers are ready to hang up their gloves. YVhy should I retire? Perish the thought!”
