Boyer Enters 1924 Speedway Race —Franklin Retains State Basket Prestige

Detroit’s Daring Auto Pilot First Driver in I Line for Twelfth International Classic— Nominates Duesenberg* Mount. Joe Boyer, the driver who likes the thrills, is the first pilot to file entry for the twelfth annual 500-mile international auto classic at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway May 30. The daring Detroit driver sent in his entry papers today and informed General Manager Myers he would strive for the big honors in a Duesenberg "straight eight,” for Fred S. Duesenberg of Indianapolis.

Boyer belongs in the first rank of American speed sharks and he makes a race out of every event in which ije participates. He is not only a star at the wheel of a fast motor car, but is a pilot of note in power-boat racing, has taken up flying, and is an’ accomplished yachtsman and has owned several racing sloops. Other Detroit Entries While Boyer’s entry is not the first" nomination of a car for the 1924 race, he is the first driver named and it is expected several additional entries from Detroit will be forthcoming. Boyer supplied many thrills in four of the last five of the 600-mile classics. In 1919 he battled with the leaders for the first 160 miles, only to break an axle and be eliminated. In 1920. his Frontenac was first over the wire 92 times in the first 100 laps. A small spring did not withstand the strain and the time lost locating the trouble, following by an accident in the closing laps, cost the Detroiter his chance to win. In French Prix | In 1921 Boyer drove his first Duesenberg and put up a stiff fight for the' first 200 miles only to have a right' rear axle shaft break and eliminate him. His driving earned him a place on the Duesenberg team for the French Grand Prix, the only American team eve rto enter that classic, which was won by his teammate, Jimmy Murphy, in a Duesenberg. In 1922 Joe was assistant starter for the big race here. a Last year Boyer was a member of the Packard team and the trio of De-troit-made cars were among the fastest machines entered, but ill-luck followed Boyer. De Palma and Resta in their chase for cash and glory, and Boyer's car went out with a broken universal joint.

MULDOON AGAINST BOXING SHOWS IN BASEBALL PARKS • Former Chairman to Serve as Working Member of N. Y, Commission. BY HENRY L. FARRELL NEW YORK, Feb. 9.—Action to make it difficult for promoters to us© ball parks for boxing bouts will be taken by the newly organized boxing commission, it was learned today. If William Muldoon swallows his pride and decides to remain as a working member of the commission, instead of as leader, it is certain that a fight will be made to make the ball parks undesirable and unprofitable for championship bouts. Although he declared that the election of George Brower, New York attorney, as chairman of the commission was a “lack of courtesy,” Muldoon said he would not resign if the public and the newspapers thought he could do the sport some good by acting as an ordinary commissioner. The public so strongly Indorsed Muldoon as an essential member of the commission that it was freely predicted today that boxing would do a “bust" if he resigned. It is considered almost certain that Muldoon will remain on the commission and it was even suggested that he would have more power in a minor position than he would exert at the helm. Muldoon said that he would propose and fight for a rule that would permit boxing in the ball parks only when the normal seating capacity of the parks would be used. He meant, he said, that no seats could be constructed on the playing field and that the spectators would have to witness the contests from the seats in the stands.

Don’t forget that. “Assuming you are reasonably well versed in the general mechanics of playing from ugly positions, the must important advice I have for the player is this: Keep Your Poise. Don’t let a bad lie upset you. “Anybody can play a good shot Urom a good lie. Playing a good shot from a. bad lie is the stuff of which champions are made. Learn how to save strokes. That’s just as important as learning how to make strokes."

DOPE IS NEARLY CORRECT IN NIGH SCHOOL CONTESTS Pogue of Frankfort Not as Seriously Hurt as Feared at First, High school basketball on Friday night over the State went pretty much according to dope, kome of the highly rated teams were pressed harder than expected for victories, but none of them received unexpected reversals. Perhaps one of the biggest surprises was Logansport’s fine stand against Anderson on the home floor of the Staggmen. The Logan team has been coming along lately, but it was hardly thought they would put up quite such a stubborn battle. Logans Comes Back In the last half Logansport scored 27 points, while Anderson was counting only 15. The early lead proved sufficient, however, and Anderson won, 43 to 37. Frankfort’s victory over Kokomo at Frankfort was costly as Pogue the big back guard of Frankfort hurt his shoulder severely and will be out for seme time At first It was thought the bone was broken, but an x-ray reveaied no fracture .

Ind., Feb. 9,—De Pauw students were singing the “What Might Have Been Blues” today. Their basketshootin’ Tigers, challengers for the State college net crown, were almost “in” with victory over the Franklin champs Friday night when someone hummed the Wagnerian Victory March in the Baptists’ ears and right away the Baptists spurted and won the ball game, 32 to 28.

PIRPO WANTS TO MEET ’EM ALL IS LATEST MESSAGE Luis Speaks Up Bravely From Distant Argentina—Lodge Go in Disfavor, By United Press BUENOS AIRES, Feb. 9.—Luis Angel Firpo, South American heavyweight champion, wants to fight Harry Wills, Tommy Gibbons and all other contenders for the' championship before he meets Jack Dempsey in a return bout, he said here today. “I not only want to clean up all the contenders to show that I am entitled to another fight with Dempsey, but I want to clear the field before I become champion,” he said. “Then, when I win from Dempsey, I can be a real champion, and no one can ask me 'Why don’t you fight Wills, Gibbons or any of the contenders?’ ” While Firpo was making his belligerent statements a demand was being made on the municipal boxing commission to stop the Firpo Farmer Lodge fight scheduled for Feb. 16. La Razon, one of the leading papers, declared that Lodge was not a match for Firpo, that he had shown nothing in his training and that it was apparent that he would be a quick loser. Lodge, it was charged, lacks even a most elementary knowledge of boxing and is not in physical condition.

Quo*. —Please nettle this argument. A claims that la throwing" the ball Into the court from out of bounds, he can throw It against the back a t a player In bounds, then run in and recover the ball himself. B claims that this is Illegal because the rules state that the l bait must be touched by the playrr in bounds. An* —A is right. The phrases “touched by a player" and "touching a player" mean the same tiling In this connection. Ques —Three substitutes came into the game at the beginning of the second haif without reporting to the scorers or referee. The latter called three fouls. The coach of this team protested on the grounds that it was not necessary to report at the beginning of the second haif. and that at mast, only one fould should bo called because only one offense waa committeed. Ans. —The referee was right. The same offense was right. The same offense was commuted by each of three players, therefore three fouls. Battling Siki Wins at I dust By United Press ROCHESTER, N.

MRS. W. LOESCHE, 123 N. Richland St, says: “My back ached so I could hardly get around some days. The pains took all my energy and I was nervous and depressed.

The "big” struggle of the year In State college circles is over. Franklin is still rldin* without a fall. The Baptists tipped out of the saddle slightly, ’tis true, but they kept their feet in the stirrups and in the mad dash down the stretch their poise re- * turned and De Pauw had to be satisfied with finishing close. Huge Night at the Castle Bowman gym was packed to the doors for the battle. Three thousand fans looked on and others waited outside for relayed details. It was Greencastle’s biggest athletic night. The second half of the game was one whirl of excitement. De Pauw had a lead once, 26 to 20, and the roar from Tiger throats Bhook the building. Franklin had wavered. An upset appeared likely. But the nonchalant five refused to crack. The famed Franklin last-minute spurt was launched, the score was tied and as the time grew* short the Johnson County lads shot Into the lead. They made it 30 to 28 as the timer "pulled his gun" and then added two more points as the shell exploded. Whew! Vandivier and Gant were out In front in Franklin scoring and Wills and White starred for De Pauw in shooting from the field. C. Friddle’s playing in the last few minutes was also a factor in pulling the game out for tho Baptists. B. Friddle, Defensive Star B. Friddle, floor guard, contributed much in the Franklin defensive works and Wood, back guard, played a steady game. Wills, De Pauw captain, had an “on” night and his basket touch was magnetic. One hand was sufficient on several shots. He played a remarkable game. , Vandivier, the Franklin ace, controlled the Baptists' attack in his customary brilliant style. When he grasped the leather De Pauw fans shook with fear. He was Coach Wagner's key. He handicaped himself for aggressive defensive work by getting three personals called on nim the first ten minutes of the opening half, but he played carefully thereafter and escaped being ruled out. 16 to 11 First Half The opening half was all Franklin with the exception of near half-time, when the Tigers whipped Into speed. The score Rt rest time was 16 to 11 in the Baptists’ favor. The champions benefited by sinking a number of field goals at the very start of the battle and they had the score 9 to 0 in their favor before De Pauw tallied. The Tigers Ptnrted coming toward the end of the first session and they reached the heights In the early part of the last stanza. For a time their defensive play was remarkable. But after reaching the heights the feat appeared to throw the Tigers off balance and when Franklin spurted In . a final drive the De Pauw guards were caught at the wrong end of the court and Gant, C. Friddle and Vandivier dashed down the floor for the winning points. Norfolk Gets Decision Ity United Press BOSTON.
