IFTER the Ohio State victory Purdue must prepare ___) for Northwestern on Saturday. At the start of the season the Purple cagers did hot look so impressive, but their good showing against Michigan has changed things entirely. Reports from (Chicago state that the team played the best brand of ball against the Wolverines since the old 1916 team, which took second place in the Big Ten. In the past few years when a team played Northwestern on the basketballl court it just thought, “Well, here’s another in the win column.” That may be changed this year. Baker, the football star, seems to have found himself on the hardwood and is performing in excellent style. He made five field goals against the powerful Michigan aggregation and the Purple was nosed out by only two points. When Northwestern scores 30 points, somebody had better watch out. That used to be enough for two games stir the Evanston outfit. • • * This Eppa Rixey ts a versatile sort of person. Besides holding the candy eating record, he is a good major league pitcher who loves his golf. Next week the long boy is in an indoor tennis meet in Cincinnati. * * * ——HIO STATE wants Ober(l lander, the great DartV'' mouth star, as an assistant coach next season. The big fellow graduates this June. Why shouldn’t the Buckeyes want ij. man like that? Just a little fiuestion to football fans—did you ever hear pf Oberlander’s marvelous passing in 1923 or 1924? You did not, for he did very little of the hurling. Dooley, at quarter, was the passer in those days. But when it was found that Dooley could not be back in 1925, because of an injury Oberlander set to work to make himself a forward passer. All summer long he tossed the ball to Lane who worked with him. In the fall, it is said, Dartmouth ran signals an hour a day, using nothing but forward passes. You all know the result. But here’s the point. Oberlander had the physical qualifications. He could have been just another football giant—pretty good. But he was not satisfied with that. He hitched his wagon to the stars —and then WORKED. Success usually Is the result of long hours of toil no matter what the easy money boys tell you. And it is true in the sport world the same as in other lines of activity. An athlete reaches the top not on flowery beds of ease but by good old-fashioned sweat. * * • I 1 "'AMERICANS are saps. That’s IA I the only conclusion one I*M can arrive at the way we fall for these ballyhooed foreign boxers. If Georges Carpentier succeeds in “selling” this Faolina, Spanish heavyweight, to the publtc, then we give up. Georges is sort*of an advance agent. The rest of the show is due to arrive in February, including Francois Descamps and his latest meal ticket, Paolina. We can't worry so much about it all. On with the dance, with Tex Rickard at the fiddle! * • * It is said tlvat Chicago promoters of the six-day bike race to be held in February are endeavoring to get Egg to ride.

He is a bad Egg for opposing riders and they would just as soon turn him over to Europe and let him stay there.
mHH feature high school net games of the week appear to be Vincennes at Martinsville and Marlon at Kokomo. There doubtless will be closer contests, but for real basketball ability combined with intense rivalry those two scraps on Friday night are given the place of honor. Up north, Rochester and Logansport battle in what should be a thriller. Close to home those two great rivals, Shelby ville and Franklin, tangle Friday at Franklin. There are plenty of other games just as important to certain sections and communities. For instance Tech and Manual meet at the fairground, Saturday. * * * It looks as though (hick Evans lias just about, reached the end of his great golllng career.

Chadd, the little tad, will be seen in action for Butler, while Stewart will endeavor to toss ’em in for the Tigers. The rooters are just up against it, that’s all! • • • Chicago is going to have the ice hockey game. When Paddy Harmon completes his new sports coliseum the best teams will be brought to Chicago.

INDIANS OPEN AT KAWTOWN Home Fans Won't See Tribe Until April 29 —A. A. Schedule Drawn. Bu United Press AVALON, Cal., Jan. 14.—Baseball fans of Indianapolis won’t get to see their Indians in action this year until April 29, when the Kansas City Blues invade the Hoosier capital.

•STIITCHIE MITCHELL, a lean youngster with a. nose like arms that waved like willows in a wind, gave one of the most remarkable exhibitions of ring recovery the boxing world ever had seen when, after being floored three times in less than a minute, he rose to send Champion Benny Leonard crashing to tho canvas witli a left hook that came within a single second of crowning anew lightweight champion. Four clean knockdowns as crammed full of drama as a Shakespearean play combined to make that first round at old Madison Square Garden, New York, on the night of Jan. 14, 1921, as spectacular a three minutes as you could find since John L. pulled leather ovei his gnarled knuckles.

FAMOUS COaEM STARS ART CARLSON CRAIG EQUALED RECORD c— ">SE of the best sprinter# of thirty O years agro was Bemie Weferg ol Georgetown University. Weferg was greatest bver the 230-yard die '"■ tanoe. On May 30. 1896. Weferg tripped thr furlong event in 21 1-5 seconds, hanging up a collegiate record. So brilliant waa the Georgetown boy's performance no campus paatimer wag even able to equal* it until almost fifteen years later. Then along came Ralnh Craig, the Mich igan flyer. Craig started out as a hurdler but proved so speedy he was switched to the sprint events, making good with a vengeance. At the eastern intercollegistes at Philadelpnia in 1910 Craig leaped into track fame by doing the "220'’ in 21 1-5, equaling the mark set by Wefprs years before. The following year the Michigander showed his effort was no fluke by duplicating the performance. This time at Cambridge. Thus he performed the unusual feat of twice tying the collegiate mark in successive seasons. The record still stands a* the best on the college books. It was later tied by both Don Lippis-■ cott of Penn and Howard Drew, the colored star from Southern California. Lippmcott hung up his mark in 1913 and Drew the next year. Ralph Craig, in case you don t know, was tne first of the famous Craig boys, who made athletic history at Michigan. Jimmy, the youngster, broke into the spotlight mainly as a footballer, playing half back on the 1911-12-13 Michigan elevens. He was chosen on the late Walter Camps All-America one season. Ralp after his sensational work at Michigan, went on to win sprint honors in the 1921 Olympiad at Stockholm

LEONARD’S VICTORY OVER MITC HELL
odds on him to defeat the Milwaukee challenger, Mitchell was conceded to be a hard puncher and game, but it was held his punches would be wasted through Benny’s cleverness. Tne battle had gone less than a minute when Leonard hooked a powerful left to Ritchie's jaw and the challenger clattered to the floor to take the count of eight. He arose groggy. Leonard was at him like a tiger with a shower of rights and lefts. Bam! Mitchell hit the canvas the second time and reclined there, glassy-ej-ed, until the referee had reached nine. His right eye was badly cut. He climbed back on his feet with a dazed, vacant look on his face. Leonard flew at him again. Wham! That was Ritchie embracing the sheeting for the third time. Twelve thousand fans were in an uproar. Referee Hauhop’s right arm began its checking off of the seconds. Seven, eight, nine. And Mitchell, punched silly but game, rose and staggered back toward the champion. With his arms hanging at his sides from exhaustion, Leonard looked at Mitchell in astonishment. What manner of fighter could this Westerner be, who soaked up punches like a sponge inhales water? Benny began to fight cautious-

All this is true, unless Butler should decide to add another game jto the schedule. Extra bleachers are being arranged to care for the crowd expected. Local followers of basketball are looking upon the Friday contest as one of the real treats of the season. There is a feeling that two of the strongest clubs in the State will be seen in action, although both have experienced de-. feats. Evansville Victory The Tigers’ fine showing against Evansville has raised the morale of the team and given the rooters plenty to talk about. A big crowd from Greencastle will be on hand to witness the struggle. Butler, which in its last games has shown a great defense, is expected to need all its ability to hold in check the attack of Ward, Byrurc, Stewart and Puckett. There is dynamite in that De Pauw outfit. Coach Page of Butler knows he is up against a tough proposition and has been drilling his squad hard every day this week. A Thriller All the requisites are there which make a thrilling encounter. Power, drive, speed and skill are present on both clubs. Butler was to take its final drill today at the fairground court.

lj'. Mitchell landed a light left on Leonard’s jaw, the first blow he had struck since the round began. His hopes rose. He leaped forward. His long left hand swung out in a swishing arc. Before the lightning champion could throw up his guard, that left had caught him squarelj- on the point of the Jaw, cracking like the snap of a lash. And Leonard, for the first time since he had graduated from the old Fairmount A. C. in the Bronx, went bouncing to the canvas, while the crowd sat stunned. Mitchell, hardly knowing what he had done, danced nervously around the ring while the referee began the strange spectacle of counting over the great Leonard. The crowd found its voice and strained the rafters with the roar of the pack that scents a “kill.” Then Leonard himself exhibited the gameness that marked him as a great champion. Rising to one knee he rested until the count

Notre Dame’s basket team invades Detroit this week for games with the University of Detroit, Friday and the College of Detroit, Saturday.

MULDOON TO LOSE POSITION Iron Duke’ of Boxing Not to Be Reappointed—Referee Assaulted. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 14.—William Muldoon, venerable “iron duke” who ruled boxing during the early days of the Walker law, is to be retired to his health farm In the country, according to gossip ir* political circles. Muldoon's term as boxing commissioner has expired and, according to fairly authentic information, he is not to be reappointed. James A. Farley, present chairman, whose term also has expired, is said to have indicated he does not want to serve longer with Muldoon. Bans Smoking • Muldoon’s ideas have had the commission almost constantly on the anvil from managers and boxers, but his recent edict against smoking at boxing bouts has aroused the public to a state of protest. Muldoon indirectly caused a fight in the commission's offices Tuesday after he had suspended “John the Barber,” and his son, Johnny Reisler, lightweight fighter, for sixty days, for directing offensive language against Referee Patsy Haley after a recent fight in which the decision went against Reisler. “John the Barbel 1 ,” protested' he had done the talking, that the boy waa not responsible. Slugged and Kicked They met Haley in an outer room and young John slugged him on the jaw and John Sr., took a kick at him. Muldoon is not without his friends, however, because many parsons not connected directly with ring shows and boxers willingly grant the veteran sportsman has done a lot to help boxing,in New York by his stern handling of some loose promoters, managers and pugilists.

GEORGES ON TRAIL OF JCOIN ‘Carp’ Looks Over Yank Ring Market—Boosting Huge Spanish ‘Ham/ By Henry L. Farrell United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Jan. 14.— 1n anew act tm a fancy salesman, with all the appropriate trimmings, Georges Carpentier started looking over the American market today. Asa standard staple line he has himself to offer, and as a novelty he is going to push Senor Paolino, tlw Spanish wood-chopper, tagged in the frenchman's catalogue ns the "next heavyweight champion.” Carpentier always lias been able to get better peak prices for himself, but if he is going to sell the wood chopper to any promoter for any price, ho could get away with a line of bob-sleds in Egypt. Paolino, attached to tho firm of Descampn and Carpeniter, is probably one of the world’s worst fighters unless he has developed in two years more than any fighter in history. Two years ago, George Cook, the so-called Australian champion, who has been beaten all over the TJnltod States by seme of the poorest second raters, not only hold off the wild slugging Paolino for twenty rounds, but ho made him look foolish. Previously Cook had made Paolino look just as foolish in another twentyrounder. PURDUE WINS Captain Spradling Leads Team to Victory. Bu Times Special LAFAYETTE, Ind., Jan. 14.
