O’Dowd Is Just bubbling over with confidence and eagerness for battle. He says he will prove to the world that the “wop” is a huge joke and that he was given a neat trimming, not by Wilson, but by the officials In the Boston light. Wilson, a southpaw, who boxes with a funny style, has but a business-like statement to make. He says, ”1 don’t care whether the people like my style of going or not, but there is one man I can beat every time I start, and that is O'Dowd. As far as Mike is concerned, I am permanent champion of the middle weights of the world.”

LEVIS CHOOSES BIG TEN TEAM Purdue Gets Two Places and Indiana One on First Mythical Five. BLOOMINGTON, Ind.. March 16— TVo Purdue basket tossers were given a berth on an all-Conference basket-ball team picked today by Coach George W. Levis, mentor of the Crimson quinetette. His selections for first and second mythical super-teams, which he believes would fotm a well-oiled and smooth-running aggregation, in addition to individual superiority, are as follows: FIRST TEAM. SECOND TEAM. Os* (Minn.).... Forwrard.Arnstone (Minn.) Wlilte (Purdue). Forward.... Taylor (Wis.) Dean (Ind.) Center.... Dunne (Mich.) Miller (Purdue). Guard. .Williams (Mich.) William* (Wl*.).Guard Vail (111.) White and Dean could be used interchangeably in dropping free throws through th© ring. The defense would be centered about Miller, while William*’ floor work, which Coach Levis declares has been unsurpassed by any Conference net man this season, would be Instrumental lu feeding the ball to an offense composed of White, Dean and Oss. Coach Levis points out that White and Oss exeeli In long shorts, while Oss and Dean would be certain point-getters in under-the-basket shotsSPRING FOOTBALL ACTIVITIES RESUMED. Crimson spring football activities have been resumed after a break of about a week. Raymond and Burk have been showing good form in passing the oval, while Bell, Tripp and Burnett have been connecting with the ball at the receiving end in fine shape. While Coach Stiehin has not yet set a date for the first scrimmage, it Is expected that such a call will be made soon. Ed Habbe, Crimson quarter miler, will leave tomorrow to enter the conference Indoor track meet, to be held at Northwestern University Friday and Saturday. Walter Konrad, crack sprinter, will not be allowed to enter the contests, because of an injury to his leg sustained in the recent A. A. U. meet in Indianapolis. Uabbe will enter the preliminaries Friday night, and if the dope bucket is not overturned, bids fair to go through to the finals on Saturday evening.

Nipper and Griggs, stars of this year’s Technical High School quintette, will be in uniform tonight, with Slaughter Hawkins and Black, member* of last year’s Tech squad, completing the line-up. The Turner roster includes youngster* who starred on high school teams of the city during the past few year*, most of them coming from Shortrldge and Manual. Johnny Hennessey and Hank Stevens probably will start at the forward station*, with Rice or Underwood at center, and Secrest *nd “Tubby” Stevens, guard. ‘Potts’ Play Tartars Preceding the Em-Roe-FL Wayne K.

MARANVILLE BOOSTS PIRATE STOCK

NEW YORK, March 16. —‘‘Pittsburgh’* chances in th coming National League race were greatly enhanced by the acquisition of Rabbit Maranville and I have high hopes for the team.” George Gibson, manager of the Pirates, wired this modest comment today. Taciturn by nature, "Mooney” is not given to predicting anything for his team, but he has new confidence as the 1921 campaign approaches. “Maranville will fill a wide gap in the Possible All-State Stars Show Up as Big Tourney Nears Regional Basket-ball Games Bring Numerous Players Into Limelight. By HEZE CLARK. When the sixteen best high school basket-ball teams gather at tbe Coliseum at the Fair Grounds Friday and Saturday to decide tbe State high school bas-ket-ball championship, followers of the indoor sport will see some of the most remarkable athletes in the Central West in action. To be sure, the tenms are five-man machines developed by good coaching, but even in the basket-ball machines the individual star is not lost sight of. At the close of the State tour-' ney officials and critics will, as usual, select the all-State high school team. Who these players will be is Impossible to say in advance, for no one man has seen them all In action, and will not have the chance until the big athletic carnival this w:eek. However, the play of some or' these stars stood out so far ahead of others In the regional games last week these athletes deserve special mention It will be the work of some of these prep school stars that will hold the Interest of the fans who gather to witness the tourney. Martinsville has a pair of wonderful goal getters in Tudor, center, and Nash, forward. Each of these men scored eight field goals In their regional game. The defensive play of Wolfe and .Tones, guards, of Vincennes, did much to halt Technical last week and to keep that team from having a chance. However. Ulrey appears to have been the star goal shot for Vincennes. The fans will watch the play of Logan, the Bloomington High School forward, with iuterest. lie is fast and has a good bnsket eye. Sewell, the Russellville cen ter, Is touted as cm© of the best pivot men in the game. LEMAUX REAL GOAL SHOT. I*. Lmaux. forward, Ridgeville, is a real goal shot Sandusky owes much of Us success? in proving the “dark horse" of two tourneys to the ability of It. Marlowe, forward. .siles. South Bend, looms up as a possible all-State center. Druckarailler forward, stands out more prominently than Feitz and Jones of that team, while Robbins Is a fast guard. Anderson bas ket ball fans believe Mansfield is the best enter Ui the Stale, aud Burdette appears to be one of the best forwanis. Steffey, forward, is the star of the Walton team. Crowe was the player whose work pulled Jefferson High School of Lafayette through th© regional game with Monroe. Spradltng, center, is the man around which the team play of the Frankfort High School five 1* built. Moyer is the star goal shot of Huntington, but Johnson of that team is touted as one of the best guards in the State. White, the Muneie center, is a pivot man far above the average. Warren aud Colgray, the Muncle guards, form a powerful defensive -combination. It is interesting to note the play of Franklin, the school that won the State championship last year. While Franklin lost some of its star players from last season's championship team, it still has a wonderful machine and Vandlvter, center. is the player around which the team play Is built.’ Vandlvier is one of the most remarkable ull around basket-ball stars ever developed In Indiana. He is a defensive man as well as an offensive plaver Gant Is the best of the Frank lin forwards. However, in Friddle and Ross Franklin has two other high class forwards Ross is a small man and Friddle a tall one. Ballard and Borden are both good guards. Golf Champ Arrives SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., March 16. —G. H. Kirkwood, open golf champion of Australia, arrived hero yesterday on his way to St. Andrews, Scotland, to compete in the British open golf championship. He will also compete in the national open golf championship at Washington In July.

Flrate line-up—a gap that has been there ever since Honu* Wagner hung up his spikes,” Gibson continued. “What’s more, he will be an Inspiration to the rest of the infield and his ginger and aggressiveness will put needed vigor Into the team’s attack and greater confidence into its defense. “I believe Maranville will have a great year. He is in fine shape, as are most of tlie members of the club. I expect to see our boys go into the race ready to stand a hot pace from the very start, and I believe any team that is going to figure in the race will have to do that much. “Xfrom my viewpoint the race is going to be a close one with at least a half dozen team* plugging along neck and n©ck. I feel sure we will be in the thick of it. “As the Pittsburgh club stands today, it is better balanced than It has been within the last three years and we have some good young recruits who are showing exceptionally well. I don't know just now how the team will line up in the opening game, but we have plenty of seasoned material even though we had to give up Southworth, Nicholson and Barbare for Maranville.’’ TUere Is much time for Manager Gibson to select his line-up, but reports from the Pirate camp to date indicate that the Infield may be made up of Grimm at first; Cutchaw at second; Maranville at short and liarnhardt at third. The outfield talent is tried and seasoned with Max Curey, Carson Bigbee and George Whltted as the regulars. This lineup with Walter Schmidt as first string catcher, a pitching staff that last year proved one of the best in the National League, with a raft of youngsters, give* Gibson every good reason for optimism.
