IL—With every man excepting Bahr in the best of condition, Indiana netmen went through a light signal drill Friday in preparation for the Purdue game here tonight. Thomas did not report for practice Friday afternoon because of a minor injury, but he is expected to be in shajft* before the curtains are rung up on what promises to be one of the most closely contested basket-ball tilts of the Big Ten season. Reports from the Boilermaker camp indicate that Gullion, who scored ten field goals and eight out of twelve free throws in the Illinois tilt Tuesday, is counted on to repeat his performance. Against him will be pitted Coffey, Crimson center, who has made an enviable record as a goal-getter this year. Thomas and Sanford are expected to contribute their share of field goals. The probable line-ups are as follows. Indiana. Purdue. Sanford F Eversman Thomas (Capt.).--.F Masters Coffey C Gullion Sloate .....*..G Holwerda Hauss G Miller (Capt.) MANY PURDUE ROOTERS ATTEND LAFAYETTE, In'd., Feb. 11.—The Purdue basket-ball team, accompanied by 800 stanch rooters, left here this morning for Bloomington, where the Boilermakers will try to make up for the setback at the hands of Illinois. The probable line-up for tonight's game is a mystery, with several combinations being available to start. Holwerda at floor guard, with Masters and Everman, forwards ; Gullion, center, and Miller, back guard, is one combination that has speed. The men have worked hard for the game and will start the contest with blood in their eyes. A dual gymnastic meet, the first one for Purdue, was to be staged this afternoon with Ohio State. Purdue’s entries Include Bushman, Shick and Rudy on the flying rings, Rudy and Beckerer on the side horses, Bushifian and Cammaek, parallel bars; Bushman and Thomson, horizontal bars; Shick and Rudy, tumbling.

State Normal won from Rose at Terre Haute this week, 31 to 22.

M^GuScyooL @ll£§!?°s?TS Manual jumped Into the spotlight of Indiana high school basket-ball again last night by playing the strong Bedford Are to a 30-to-32 score on the. Bedford court.

Harmeson again led the Manual, scoring with five goals from the field and eight from the foul line. Dye. with seven from the field and Sezar with nine free throws and two two-pointers were best for the winners. The Manual team will move over to Greencaotle tonight for a game with the high school team of that place.

NEWS OF THE DAY IN

L U. Grapplers Win Over Kentucky Team in Decisive Style Hoosiers Win Three Matches by Falls and Gain Decisions in Two. By HEZE CLARK. BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Feb. 11.—Coach Jack Reynolds’ Indiana University grapplers won the wrestling tournament here last night, defeating the University of Kentucky by the score of 28 to 12. There Were seven matches between the Indiana and Kentucky athletes Indiana mat men won three of these matches by falls, and obtained a decision in two of the bouts. Kentucky secured a decision in two matches, winning the 125pound and 130-pound class. The men from Kentucky were unaccustomed to the Big Ten Conference rules, having always worked under the Southern Conference rules, which divides the wrestling time in three five-minute periods. The Conference rules provide for a twelve-minute wrestling period, and if necessary to decide the-bout, the con-' testants wrestle two overtime periods of three minutes each. The matches last night brought out some spirited contests and clever work by the mat men of both universities. In the first bout the men weighed in at 115 pounds. Parr of Indiana and Waits of Kentucky mixed it in fast style and both were in close places two or three times as they rolled about the mat. Then Parr got a half-Nelson and body lock on the Kentucky athlete and pinned Waits’ shoulders to the mat in 9 minutes and 22 seconds. In the next two matches Kentucky wrestlers appeared strong. Cunningham of Indiana met Maddox of Kentucky and thev weighed 125 pounds. It required two over-timejperlods for Maddox to win a decision. The Kentucky athlete was behind Cunningham less than two minutes. , , Stitch of Kentucky proved to be an aggressive, fast mat man. The husky 1.. mmd wrestler kept Hoffman of Indiana busy and Stitch won a decision Sauer of Indiana made quick work of Winter of Kentucky in the 145-pound class. Sauer won a fall in five minutes and seventeen seconds. Sauer proved too fast and clever for his opponent.

Girls’ State Tmirney DES MOINES, low*, Feb. 11.—A State basket-ball tournament, for girls will be held March 3 and 4 at lowa Falls, it was announced today by Prof. W. A. Fhalman, principal of lowa Falls schools. It is planned that this meet dill take the place of the annual Drake tournament for girls, which will not be held this year.

One of the most interesting bouts of the night was the 158-pound class, which brought together Lucas of Indiana and Atkin of Kentucky. Akin worked hard, but the powerful Lucas wag clever and slipped behind the Kentucky mat man early in the match and remained there during most of the bout. Lucas won a decision. The real feature of the wrestling contests was the work of Enlow of Kentucky, known as one of the best heavyweight wrestlers in the South and a man who gained much mat experience by wrestling while in the Army. Enlow is a powerfully built athlete who knows how to wrestle, but he attempted what he could not do successfully and that was to throw both Held and Murnby of Indiana. In making the attempt he won the applause of the Indian;* University wrestling fans. W. Delbert Funkhouser, chairman of the faculty athletic committee, and well known to followers of athletics In Indiana when he played football and other athletic games at Wabash College twenty years ago, and later was in athletics at Cornell University, was in charge of the Kentucky team. With the score 22 to 12 in favor of Indiana, Funkhouser knew that it would be necessary for his teuui to win both the 175-pound match and the heavyweight match to win the wrestling tourney. Kentucky had two men for these events, but one was anew man Just starting the wrestling game and the other man was Enlow. one of the best In all Southland. Funkhouser decided to let Enlow try to win both matches. In the 175 pound class Enlow started to take it easy, believing himself to be a sure winner In that bout. Held of Indiana got behind his Kentucky rival and it was with great difficulty that Enlow got back on his feet after more than three minutes. Then Enlow threw Held, but both athletes were off the mat and the fall did not count and the men were brought back to the center of the mat, with Enlow on top. Held slipped from under his opponent and the man got back on their feet and were in that position when time was called. Held of Indiana won the decision. Mumby of Indiana, one of the best heavyweight wrestlers ever developed at that school, lound the going rough with Enlow ss an opponent. Eleven minutes passed and neither man had been off his feet. Then Mumby secured a body hold on the Kentucky heavyweight and forced him to the mat. A half-nelson turned him over and Mumby pinned Enlow in eleven minutes and seventeen seconds.

"I tniuk Willie is playing the best billiards of his career.’’ said Peterson. “No shot seems too difficult for him to make." Incidentally, Peterson himself Is playing at top form and every time he faces Hoppe the fancy shot specialist makes Willie extend himself to the limit of his ability. “That Is just what I want," said R.

President Kirk stated that approximately SIOO,OOO must be raised in this manner and the meeting ended with nearly $60,000 of this amount accounted for.

Ever hear some duffer use a lot of words not found in our best dictionaries : when describing a certain brand of balls after he has cut one through tha cover? | Invariably he insists that they are soft as mush or they wouldn't cut so easily, but he is disillusioned, for they are not soft, but hard Instead. It seems outrageous to make the statement that a hard ball will cut easily while a soft golf ball will stand a lot of topped Iron shots without the cover being cut, but nevertheless It is quite true. Out of twenty-live or thirty leading brands ol balls there will be found but a alight variation in the rubber stock used in making the covers, but Just get inside once and you will find each ball made differently, with different size rubber windings and all sorts of sized centers. { A ball that is wound tight Inside becomes very hard and lively, and ii Is unquestionably possible to make one ball fly farther by a sow yards than another by winding it verja tight, yet that same ball with a like cover will cut many times easier than one wound not ao tight. The center is hard and the cover soft and when the hard surface of an iron club Is smashed down on the ball, something must give. There Is nothing i left to give but the cover, which is caught In between the two hard substances, hence the big nick la the result. On the other hand, the ball with a softer winding and certer with the same grade of cover stock used in covering It will not cut because the center gives a trifle when tha heavy Iron head beats l

Jewtraw of Lake Placid was a pressing second, and Charles Gorman of St. John, N. B , was third. Jewtraw led until fifty yards fro* the mark, when Stelnmetz burst from the pack and won by a nose. Roy McWhirter of Chicago finished fourth, and Joe Moore of New York was a close* fifth. The final event was to be held today, but Stelnmetz' lead looked big enough to land the diamond medal. In order for Stelnmetz to lose the title Jewtraw would have to win both the half and three mile races today and the Chicago man fail to get a place. Richard Donovan of St. Paul Friday night led the silver cup contenders with ninety points. Hie nearest competitor is Paul Foreman of New York, who has only thirty points.

down upon it and the cover is spared. Burr S. Swe*cy of Lafayette has forsaken tournament golf In th® last few years and does not appear In match play battles very often. We have played in matches with all of the leading golfers in the State and with many famous imateurs and pros In other localities, but never have we met up with a player who has the ability to produce In a pinch that Burr has. Get him two dowr. and three to play In a tourninent and you have a Job on your hands for three holes, we saw him pull the greatest golf shot ever played in any Indiana championship at Lafayette when on tbo thirtieth hole In the finals while playing against John Simpson, another bulldog fighter, ha played a brassie shot of some 240 yards ironi a bad lie, under the branches of a tree, and made the pill taka a right angle kink when approximately a hundred yards on its way. Before he made that shot he asserted "that it would either be a real shot or a terrible dubb,” and a real shot It was. Swexey Is capable of doing the Impossible at the right moment, Is a gentleman of the big lest order in any contest and a golfer that Indiana amatuer golf can 111 affo T d to lose. He tells us he Is thro h with tournaments, however. Indianapolis amateurs ’xno expect to play In the amateur championship down at French Lick next summer, should equip their golf shoes with Inch spikes. The now course down there Is built on the hill tops and If one Is used to Alp climbing, he should be a hit down there. A suggestion which we have to offer to those who expect to compete In this tournament Is to go into rigid training several weeks before the tournament starts. Quiet smoking and get lots of sleep for it Is going to be an endurance contest besides being a golf contest of the highest order. Get out your niblicks and get good with this particular club; you are going to need It with some of those perpendicular pitches. WOMAN GOLF PRO. CLEVELAND, Feb. 11.—Mrs. George Harrison Is believed to be the first woman golf professional in the country. She has been retained by the new Canterbury Golf Club to become assistant to J. H.

Pitcher Was So Good the Coach Withdrew Him to Make Game Interesting

Troy Puckett, “the big fellow,” former star pitcher of the Wabrsh College nine, was a visitor In the city Thursday and Friday, having come down from his home at Winchester. “Puck" used to throw about the fastest spitball seen around these parts and in one season he jumped from Class D to the big leagues. After “breezing ’em’ ’’ over the plate for the Scarlet for three seasons Puckett joined the Paducah Kitty League team and in two mont is he was purchased by the Philadelphia Nationals. He finished the fall st ison with the Phillies, rejoined them the following spring, but when a sore arm developed he took up a business venture and gave up the league game. When in college Puckett was assigned to hurl against a visiting Chinese university team one day and he had such terrific speed that .the coach had to withdraw him In order to make the game Interesting. The Chinks apparently hadn't seen so much “smoke” before and they were reluctant about standing up to the plate.

KANSAS GIVES CHAMP SCARE Rocky Forces Leonard to Limit, Benny Gaining Decision After 15 Rounds. NEW YORK, Feb. 11.—Benny Leonard still wears his crown as lightweight champion today, but it doesn’t set a* firmly In place as it once did. The Bronx boy who has been hailed as the greatest boxer the lightweight division ever knew, was extended to his utmost last night to win a fifteen-round decision orer Rock Kansas of Buffalo. A terrific left hook that caught Kansas flush on the jaw and sent him sprawlingon the canvas in the eleventh round really decided the fight in Leonard’s favor. The smash daz?d the Buffalo mauler and he took the full count of nine. The champion tried hard to score a knockout following the knockdown, hat Kansas stood him off. For the first seven rounds Kansas electrified the great crowd of 15,000 spectators that jammed historic Maduon Square Garden by cuffing the titleholder as though he were a mere second rater. Leonard apparently could not get going. A hard left hook which Kansas iandect on the champion’s jaw in the second round may have been partly responsible. At any rate, Kansas p,led up a big lead In the first half of the fight by constantly flailing Leonard with both oands. The crowd gazed in amazement as the squatty Buffalo fighter tore into Leonard and drove him back with lefts to the jaw and rights to the body. Leonard's punches in 'the early rounds carried no steam. As early as the fourth round Kansas drew blood by belting the champion's nose. A few times the titleholder looked positively gory as Kansas’ left jabs brought the blood spurting from his nose. Leonard came to life In the eighth round and began to fight viciously. After that he began to win a shade, but Kansas still fought him hard. In the eleventh round Leonard suddenly hooked his left to the jaw with all the power he had behind it. Kansas went down as though hit with a mallet. When the referee's count reached nine Kansas slowly stood up. Leonard went after him, cautiously, but In a determined manner. Kansas, however, aougbt refuge in clinches and weathered out the round. The last four rounds were all Leonard’s, although Kansas kept plugging away. The knockdown apparently gave the champion encouragement, for after that he fought in a more determined manner. The gate receipts amounted to $125,967.60. Kansas, it was reported, received a guarantee of $17,000. Leonard’s share is believed to have been about $40,000.
