Purdue and Wabash Go Holds Interest of State Net Fans Indiana Championship at Stake When Rivals Meet at Lafayette Wednesday LAFAYETTE, Ind., Feb. 28.—With the Big Ten basket-ball title safely tucked away all Interest here now' hinges on the Wabash battle tomorrow night. It is generally conceded that the winner of the Purdue and Scarlet Bcrap will be given the State title by most critics. Although Purdue defeated Wabash earlier in the season the Boilermakers dropped a contest to the De Pauw five, which has since been defeated twice by Wabash. If Lambert’s squad can put over another victory at the expense of the Little Giants, the State championship will be fairly clearly decided. The Lafayette aggregation has lost only two games all season, one in the conference to Illinois on the Suckers’ floor by a one-point margin Just after Don White was declared Ineligible and before the team had had an opportunity to become organized again and used to its new style of play. The other contest was lost to De Pauw after Wabash had been defeated the night before. More Interest is being shown In the coming battle tomorrow than in most of the games of the season and a capacity crowd is assured. Both teams are extremely anxious to put over a victory and a struggle well worth seeing will no doubt take place. Lambert probably will start his team as follows: Masters and Eversman, forwards; Gullion, center; Holwerda and Miller, guards. Reports from Wabash state that Goldsberry, Schanlaub and Thorn are under the weather. Whether they will be able to play Is problematical, It is 6aid. Monmouth Ties Knox for Basket-ball Lead MONMOUTH, HI., Feb. 28—Monmouth College defeated James Millikln University of Decatur by a score of 23 to 21. This ties Monmouth with Knox for the basket-ball championship of I. A. A. C. The game was slow during the first half, but toward the last was speedy and tense.

TEST FOR WILLS IN NORFOLK BOUT NEW YORK, Feb. 28.—A1l this talk about Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills for the world’s heavyweight title may prove to have been wasted wind before the end of the week. Wills, generally acclaimed as the "logical contender” for the crown of the champion, will try to prove it by taking on Kid Norfolk Thursday night in Madison Square Garden. If Norfolk should win the decision or earns a draw Wills might as well pack his trunks and go back to stevedoring. Norfolk is no world beater, and he has never been mentioned as a victim for Dempsey, but he is an elusive, bouncing fighter of the Harry Greb type and Is anything but a stationary target tor even a fast fighter. Leo Flynn, who handles Norfolk, denies that he has made a foolish match. “This Norfolk Is a peculiar proposition. He can lick any man he thinks he can. A year ago I couldn't have pulled him In the ring with Wills, but be came to me after seeing Harry against Bill Tate and said; ‘Get me that Wills quick, before somebody else gets him,’ ” Flynn said. Under the New York rules which prohibit holding with one hand and hitting with the other, a good many smart ring men believe that Norfolk will beat Wills. They point out that in all his important victories, Wills has put over the kick while holding. WANT KILBANE VS. CRIQUI. PARIS, Feb. 28.—French fight fans, “off” Carpenter at present, are clamoring for a featherweight championship bo>ut between Johnny Kilbane and Eugene Criqui, the Frenchman who won a sensational victory over Charley Ledoux recently.

BILLIARDS

IJftGUrSCHOOL Vincennes has rambled right along and has hit 1,000 so far. The "Alices” have scored 1,459 points to their opponents’ 497. They have one thing to watch however and that is stateness. Thirty-two games Is a whale of big season. There have been many theories advanced as to why Shortridge has won only one game all season, but the one that seems to fit the case best Is this: Shortridge started its schedule off with opponents too good for so early in tne season and robbed the team or a chance to win a couple of games and instill confidence Into the players. One thing about the Shortridge team though, they are always fighting and never give up hope until the final whistle, but they haven’t the confidence that makes a player know It Is possible to win once in a while. When the board of control selected Soottsburg as one of the sectional tourney centers in southern Indiana, H raised quite a rumpus on the part of Jeffersonville High, <*vho says it will not enter the tourney if it is to be played on the small floor at Scottsburg. Jeffersonville contends that with two large and well equipped floors at New Albany and Jeffersonville only thirty miles from Scottsburg, that it was school politics which sent the tourney to Scottsburg. Jeffersonville can hardly be blamed for not wanting to play on a small floor with large ones so handy, but since the center has been selected they ought to grin and bear It till next time. There are 564 teams entered in the sectional tourneys in Indiana which means 4,512 players. Sixty-four officials will handle the thirty-two sectional tourneys. West Newton Is a team that the locals will have to watch In the coming sectional, for it has showed some pretty good stuff all season. Newton plays Cumberland in Its first game and if It wins, probably will meet Tech in the second round. Dark horse, maybe. Waldron High School closed its bas-ket-ball season in great shape by winning the invitational tourney held at Waldron In which Morristown, Boggstown, Mt. Auburn and Geneva participated. Waldron played two games to reach the finals while Morristown drew a bye and had only to defeat Geneva to meet Waldron In the finals. Waldron defeated Morristown in the final game, 58 to 19.

BENTON HARBOR MAY GET IT CHICAGO, Feb. 28. —The proposed bout between Benny Leonard and Charlie White for the lightweight championship may not be staged in Madison Square Garden, New York. It was learned today. A strong possibility exists that the match may come to the Middle West, possibly to Benton Harbor, Mich. Leonard passed through here Monday night en route to New York after his fight with Pal Moran at New Orleans. An Injury to the champion’s hand made it Impossible that he will be ready for Immediate action in the ring. While in Chicago, Leonard and his manager, Billy Gibson, are understood to have promised Floyd Fitzimmons, Benton Harbor promoter, that the champion would box for Fitzsimmons on July 4. There is a strong probability, it was Indicated, that the White match will be postponed until July 4 and staged at Benton Harbor. If White is taken on before July , then "Pinkie” Mitchell, the Milwaukee boy, is expected to get the July 4 date. Leonard, it is understood, is 'demanding most of the money for the Madison Square bout. He argues that White should be willing to “go on for a song” in consideration of the chance at the title offered by a decision match. White and his manager are understood to take the view that, while the match at Benton Harbor would not draw as much as a Gotham engagement. White would be in a position to demand a larger share as he would be fighting in his home territory and therefore would be more of a drawing card. SHADE AND RYAN DRAW.

BASEBALL

Main Go and First Prelim Give Boxing Fans Action Sought Downey-GriMths and GlickBoorde Bouts Big Features on Progress Card, Two high grade bouts, one tame affair and one of the "sock-o out-o” brand were dished up to the boxing fans at Tomlinson Hall last night on the program staged by the Progress Athletic Club. In the main event between Johnny Griffiths and Anthony Downey the 154-pound-ers offered plenty of action and there was not any time wasted by either. The veteran and the youngster were full of ■business and at the conclusion of the affair opinion In general favored e draw, though Griffiths probably would have been given a shade on a hair-line decision. The main go developed into a real battle and both boys upheld advance notices regarding their ability to wield the padded glove. In the early rounds Downey appeared to hare the advantage, bnt Griffiths solved his style as the bout progressed and the veteran scored effectively in the closing sessions. The men were straight punchers, good on footwork and shifts and extremely timely with their blows. In the opening prelim between Sidney Gliek and Freddie Boorde the fans were given a thrill a second. The youngsters boxed at full steam and were roundly cplauded when the final bell sounded Boorde seemed to time his punches better and it appeared he was entitled to a shade. Glick proved to be a willing mixer and demonstrated some good fighting qualities. A longer bout between the boys probably would prove quite a feature. In the aecond prelim Jimmy Tomascello substituted for Bobble Lee and managed to stay until about the middle of the second round when he stopped one of Bridges’ right uppercuts with his chin and took the count. Jimmv apparently decided at the start that his only chance with the clever Bridges was to land a haymaker and he tried his best. However, he left his Jaw uncovered in the second session while taking a long swing and Bridges beat him to the punch. As a result Tomascello went out by the k. o. route. The semi-wind-up between Jimmy Finley of Louisville and Jack Darcy of Cincinnati was tame throughout the ten rounds. Darcy was wary of Finley’s punching ability and remained at safe distance. Finley, a puncher only, kept waiting for Darcy to lead and as a result there was not much mixing. Bv landing the heavier punches when action did result, Finley was granted a shade. It was announced that the next ring show would be held at Tomlinson Half, Monday, March 13, under the auspices of the American Legion. Bryan Downey, middleweight title contender, and Ted Block of Detroit will appear in the main go. Downey is a high class performer and a near champion, while Block is said to be a puncher of no mean ability, Howard Wilcox, race driver, refereed all bouts last night and he did it In evening clothes. His work was satisfactory to all except a few codfish comedian*.

Fisher Hits Move to Exile Football Coaches to Stand CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Feb. 2a—To take the football coach from the side lines and put him In the spectactors’ stands, as suggested by Prof. Clarence W. Mendell, chairman of the board of athletic control of Yale, would remove en Influence for good among the players, In the opinion of Robert T. Fisher, head coach of football at Harvard. “Football coaches as a class are too conscientious and value the good opinion of the toys they teach too highly to stoop to unfair practices,” he says. “Putting them away from their players during the progress of a game would, in my opinion, take away from the boys an influence they need, not to affect their football, but to keep their point of view straight. “The coach on the side line really Is hardly more than a balance wheel for the players. He Is quickest to note that a player has been hurt, yet Is striving to disguise the fact, and many serious Injuries doubtless have been averted by coaches’ keeness. “During the years Z have been connected with football at Harvard I have known of no side line coaching or signaling. I have yet to see a game the result of which has been affected because of side line coaching.” Indiana Five Continues in Slump, Loses to Ohio BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Feb. 28—Unable to stage a comeback, after a series of three straight defeats at the hands of Conference net teams, Indiana took another step toward the bottom of the Big Ten ladder here tonight when she bowed before Ohio State, 20 to 18, In a slow game. Both teams played evenly throughout the contest, the score being tied six times before the final whistle blew. The score at the end of the first half stood 10 to 9 in favor of the Buckeyes. The game was rough at all stages and two Ohio State men were knocked out. Coffey of Indiana annexed six points from nine attempts at the foul line, while Greenspun of Ohio State made good at six tries out of ten free throws. Indiana now stands ninth in the Conference race, with three games won and seven lost.

DEMPSEY LOOKS IN GOOD SHAPE Jack’s Gotham Appearance Makes Favorable Impression on Fight Fans. NEW Y r ORK, Feb. 28.—Jack Dempsey, lean as a greyhound and Just about as rapid afoot, is in the same physical condition right now as lie was the day eight months ago when he playfully tapped Georgeo on his esthetic chin and the latter sat down for the count to think it over. Tills 'by way of encouragement |to Harry Greb, Tom Gibbons, Harry Wills and Kid Norfolk, who seem to be toying absently with the idea that a bout with Dempsey is a desirable prospect. Tho champion appeared Monday night on the stage of the Hippodrome in a ■lx-round dialogue and was easily outpointed by Jack Kearns, proving nothing. Kearns has a slick, city way of earning the conversational decision In almost any company. What interested the audience most was the manner In which Dempsey’s hard, compact torso strained at the seams of his evening clothes, worn with the air of bon vivant, and later, when stripped Man-o’-War’s First LEXINGTON, Ky„ Feb. 28.—The first foal by Man-o’-War, Samuel D.

He looked as though he could take on a bout at a week’s notice. In a subsequent three-round exhibition with Larry Williams, he got a lot of speed out of his system without even a deep breath and his Judgment of distance seemed good. Admitting, therefore, that Jack would have to slip a bit before Wills, Greb, Gibbons or any of them can figure to take him, the immediate future is not particularly alluring for these gentlemen of the padded gauntlet. However, (he loser’s end of the purse has been known to comfort many an ill-used Jaw.

WRESTLING, BOXING AND SKATING PART OF ROCKNE’S GRID SYSTEM

SOUTH BEND, Ind., Feb. 28.—A system of football coaching which Includes boxing, wrestling and skating as methods of making all-American stars out of men who previously had never played the game, Is partly responsible for placing Notre Dame University’s gridiron eleven among the country’s leaders for several years. This system and a scholastic arrangement which brings some of the students through a course of outdoor activities almost from the kindergarten to the athletic field are looked upon as the secrets of Notre Dame's athletic supremacy, testied to by a football record which includes only one game lost in three years —to lowa, 10 to 7, last fall—and consistent triumphs over eastern teams. UNIQUE COACHING SYSTEM OF EOCENE. Knute Rockne, the football coach, attributed his success to the "never say die’’ spirit of his athletes. The school authorities, however, give Mr. Rockne’s unique coaching system most of the credit, this system being explained by the mentor V follows: “All of the candidates for end on the team go through a course of boxing. This makes them shifty on their feet, teaches them to stand hard knocks without losing their feet, to keep their wits no matter how hard they are hit and never to lest sight of the objective—the man with the ball. “The linemen, during the off season, go through a course or wrestling. This makes it hard for the opposing players to shove them back and improves tbelr leg and arm muscles. “The backfield men do a great deal of skating.

Butler Has Very Little Trouble With Lake Forest Butler did not have mnch t -ouble with Lake Forest Monday night and came out on the long end of a 43 to 23 score in the last home game of the seaison. Coach Page used several substitutions during the fray but the team continued “hitting on all six” throughout. The first hair ended with the Irvington five leading by a 27 to 12 count. Leslie was the nigh point man for the Pagemen with seven baskets from the field. The Butler team phowed better passing than in the past few games and sifted through the visitors’ defense for close-up snots. McGeachen and Robertson looked best for the visitors. In the second half Lake Forest started a rally after McGeachen and Peterson were substituted but it was too late in the contest for any damage to be done. Graham and Konold, two Butler substitutes, got going on their own account late in the game and counted two goals apiece, which gave the winners a big margin.

SWIMMING

The success of hla Ideas Is shown by the number of “Rockne-made” men on every Notre Dame eleven since he has been coach—men who never played football until he took hold of them. Some of these are Johnny Mobardt, all-Amer-ican back: the late George Gipp, allAmerican back, conceded to be the greatest forward passer of modern times; Roger Klley, all-Western end: Chester Wynne, all-Western full back; Smith, allWestern guard: Gus Desch, star back and member of the American Olympic team; Meahre, a first-rate lineman. None of these men thought of playing football until Rockne got them out after noticing that they had nls three requisites—speed, brains and good grades. Another factor in the ecbooTs athletic success Is the arrangement of departments and the intramural competition. First Is the. elementary division. Then comes the Junior division —corresponding to high school —and finally the university itself. Mr. Rockne watches the youngsters closely, helping many of them develop as they pass through the different departments. INTER-DORMITORY TILTS DEVELOP MEN. Every dormitory class has athletic teams, coached by varsity players. Intense rivalry results in many stars being brought out through these games. There are no co-eds, and consequently few social functions. The students from the time they are “minims” to the university. concentrate on 6ound minds and sound bodies, dividing their time equally between class room and athletic field. They grow up out of doors and are always tin perfect physical condition. The big part played by physical development in the students lives in no ways detracts from their class work, for the records show that most of the athletes make unusually high grades and their extra athletic activities simply take the place of the afternoon teas popular at some schools.
