J and Is a very fast ear. It 1* possible Tommy may drive this car In the 500mile race, but he has not announced his Intentions and probably the wealthy St. Paul dairyman Is going to have anew mount for 1922. Milton has come to the front in the last few years’*and In 1920 he drove the 16-cylindered creation of Fred Duesenberg faster than any automobile has ever traveled, averaging 154.6 miles per hour over the sands at Daytona, Florida, smashing the marks of Ralph De Palma, who hod held the speed king crown with 149.875 on the same course. Tommy got his start toward the 1921 championship when he won 1,000 points by taking first place In the Indianapolis 500-mlle and gained a totai of 2.230 for the season. The champion started the 1921 season with a second at Los Angelos, then a sixth at Fresno, next his Indianapolis win, followed by a first In the Tacoma 250-mile, third at Santa Rosa, second at Los Angeles and seeond at San Francisco.

There was one minute still to play when the score reached 22 to 21, but the Dentals got but one shot at the basket in that final minute. It fell short and a few seconds later the final gun was fired. Earlham led at half time by a 13 to 0 score.

Marino took five straight games from Mort Lindsey, the Connecti- ; cut crack, and piled up a total score of 1 1,212 pins. This is believed to be a j world's record for tournament bowling. !

PAGEMEN FACE HERCULEAN JOB Franklin, Earlham and Wabash to Be Tackled in Order Next Week. The Butler basket tosraers are taking things rather easy over the week-end and getting in a lot of good rest, which will be badly needed when Coach Page starts them out Monday on one of the stiftest weeks of competition they nave encountered thi* season. Franklin will bo played Monday at Franklin, Earlham at Richmond on Wednesday and Saturday | the Christian gladiators will wind up tlie j week’s activities by tackling Wabash at Tomlinson hall. All three of the contests are return games, the Pagemen having defeated the three teams in previous meetings, but in each case only after a hard struggle. The fact that two of the games next week will be played on foreign courts only adds to Ihe task confronting the locals. Franklin furnished plenty of opposition last ! Tuesday and may be counted on to furt nish even more trouble when met in their ! own lair. Earlham was rather easy for the Butler speed boys earlier in the seaI eon, but the Quakers have picked up a lot since then as their recent victory ovel Franklin will testify. The fact that Butier defeated Wabash recently by a 31 to 23 at Crawfordsvllie will count’for little when the two team* line up again next Saturday. Butler eyes have centered on the Scarlet-Tiger scrap at Cmwfordsville tonight as what happens in this game will give added importance to the Butler-Wabash fracas here, ipjggSPORTS Tech lost a hard scrap to Bloomington Friday night by three points, the final score standing 21 to 18. Tech put up a hard fight, featured by their closo guarding, but couldn't seem to make conueetions with the basket. Bloomington t worked up a nine-point lead before the \ locals got started, but Tech gradually I overcame this lead and the half ended, |l2 to 11, for the winners. The last half was nip and tuck, but with Tech al- ! ways a point or two behind. Woolgnr and Nipper were the big smokes for Tech, while Kreuger and Logan scorched the hardwood for the victors. Shortridge went to Elwood last night expecting to mop up the floor with Klwood, but they found that their expectations were far greater than they could hope to aspire to, for Elwood handed them tbe big smack by defeating them, 40 to 32. The Shortridge passing and team work was there all right, but the north aiders were unable to find the hoop. Riley and Kilgore were Shortridge s best bet and East and Virgil were the shining lights for the winners. Elwood had Shortridge 21 to 11 at half time and the north aiders staged a near winning rally In the opening minut'a of the second half, but fell just a iittls short. Manual’s next opponent after Stivers of Dayton is Broad Ripple High. The Uipplekes should put up a good scrap. The Indianapolis fans attending Indiana University supported their home town team In great shape when Tech played Bloomington last night. That's the spirit. The Cathedrals continued their hard luck by dropping one to Cumberland last night, 18 to 13. Coach Feeney s pillchasers don't seem tc get together. Manual and Stivers of Dayton at the "X" tonight. It will be a good scrap. Four Indiana high school team* survived the second round of the tri-state tourney at Cincinnati. CouaerS'lllc, or-I leans. Martinsville and Smithville were the lucky ones. Connersvllle and Martins villa look good to go to the finals, with j Smlthville a good alternate. Franklin was an easy winner over Bedford last night In a slow and uninteresting game at Franklin, 48 to 21. Both teams played listlessly In the first half, which ended 18 to 14, with Frank lin on the long end. In the second half Franklin opened up and Coach Wagner was enabled to send In subs toward the end of the battle. Broad Ripple won a tophenvy victory over Edinburg at Broad Ripple last night, 51 to 29. Wade scored twenty of Hippie's points by caging nine field markers and two from the foul Sine.

Before last week's games all of the teams were tied and the above teams were returned winners to fight it out for the cup tonight.

OLD JACK SAME FISTIC MASTER NEW YORK, Feb. 18—The rrlm reaper or some "funny boxing Judges” appear to bo the only menace to Jack Britton, the ancient welterweight champion. Sound of limb and clear of mind, the 37-year-old title holder has a long way to go. If a boxer ever showed art or perfection; if a champion ever made a challenger look like a kindergarten novice, Britton did it last night to Dave Shade, the California youngster, la a fifteenround go, but the judges called it a draw. Those who like to see gore splashed to the ceiling, those who would have called the game of the otd gladiators tame, thought it was a bad show. Those who looked on boxing as an art and who an predate what it means for a veteran in years and experience to hold off a youngster half his age, thought last night's contest one of the greatest ever seeu in Madison Square Garden. Britton had no easy time He was never in danger, but he hadn't a minute to loaf. With sagacity, he spared himself early in the tight and contented himself with showing his opponent how little he kuew about boxing. Britton wasn't hit hard once during the entire bout. ACCIDENTAL DEATH VERDICT. ANDERSON, Ind., Feb 18.—Dr. Rinne. county coroner, ha* returned a verdict of accidental death In the case of Roy Mudd, Elwood boxer, who died from injuries received In a boxing match with Eddie Mullen of Muncie, at Elwood last Saturday.

Within the past season or two anew and very sensible fad has become evident with all ranks of golfers from the top notch uro down to the duffer We refer to tne use of a brassle from the tPe as well as through the fairway and the discarding of a driver altogether. If the leading pros and amateurs were to be asked the question as to which club was the most difficult to master, the tnswsr would greatly favor the driver, and next the brassie would bo named. And if the caddybags of tbe best pigjers were to be investigated, many would be found lacking a driver. In recent years leading players have tried to play by the air route because of the numerous traps, hazards, and difficulties which have been added to our golf courses and which are more apt to catch a sjmt played with a roll than one driven Into the air that stops where It drops. Little distance Is lost with a ball driven slightly higher with a brassle than with a driver and the control more than makei up many times the distance lost. Anqiher thought that golfers have learned to regard as very Important, is that the more pitch there is to the face of the club used for distance, the st.'aighter the ball will fly and this Is a big reason why the elr route to the green from the tee has become quite popular. A ball rises Into the air mainly becanse it has backspin on It and of course the more loft there is on the face of the club tbe more backspin there will result and the more control In direction there will be obtained. Large golf club manufacturers have already noticed a marked falling off In phe sab-s of drivers during the past few season and they predict that this dub will so u be a extinct as the old fashioned iron cleek.

One of Three Fives to Represent This State in Big Meet De Pauw, Wabash and Butler Still to Decide Who’s Who on Court. Hooslerdom probably will be represented in the first annual national championship collegiate basket-ball tournament to be given under the auspices of the Junior Chamber of Commerce at the Coliseum at the State fairground March 6, 10, 11 by De Pauw, Butler or Wabash, and the question as to which of the three shall carry the hopes of all Indiana Is assuming the proportions of a paramount issue in a political campaign among the fans of the State. In brief here Is the situation. The fleet, lightning-like De Pauw five, conquerors of Piggy Lambert’s Boilmaker Conference leaders, laid it all over Butler In the game here at Tomlinson Hall. But against Wabash some time ago the fleetness failed to materialize, the lightning was missing, and the Little Giants played rings around the De Pauw boys on their own home floor. Pat Page's Butler "Blaze-Aways” In the home haunts of the Little Giants got the range of the enemy lines and bombarded the Wabash basket with a classy assortment of high explosive, long-range shots, which tucked a victory safely away in the second half. But be it observed, against De Pauw the famous Butler fireworks went off like a punk assortment of second hand, water soaked pyrotechnics and the result Is spoken of only tearful whispers on (he Butler campus. And the same thing holds for Wabash Vaughan's Little Giants looked somewhat helpless againßt Butler, but loomed liked prehistoric monsters against De Pauw. So ti-ere It all is; Just as nice and clear as a little kettle full of thick mud. De Pauw beats Butler, who beat* Wabash, who beats De Pauw. The situation may be cleared up before the tournament as the teams meet each other again before the big event, Wabash and De Pauw starting off the second performance of the three-ring circus at Crawfiordsvllle tonight.
