JVriRRIN’ the DOPE VEDDERG ARP

Last Night at Tomlinson Hall: The smallest crowd of the season. ... A large part of the gathering was Butler students, who whooped it up for their fellow student. . . . Mulholland wore blue and white boxing trunks —“Tea, Butler!” . . . Coaches Hinkle and Middlesworth occupied seats on the stage and appeared keenly interested in the proceedings. A sprinkling of fair co eds, apparently considering their fling at the fistic sport rather devilish, was on hand. . . . The bold hussies! . . . This Mulholland lad has quite an impressive retinue —a manager, a press representative and a, trainer. .. . All he needs now is a social secretary to be in Red Grange’s or Carpentier’s class. , Smart old Soldier Buck seemed content to just breeze along and let the local pride cop all the applause which his wild rushes evoked. ... It was just another day’s work for the veteran Soldier. . . . Another day another dollar (from the looks of the thinly populated ringside section). Eddie Webber skipped lightly through the whole proceedings, flitting daintily around the ring for all the world like one of those anesthetic dancers (Mrs. Malaprop fke note). [Wonder where Michael de Mitch id Jimmy da Cool were last night? Suave, debonair and commanding, Harry Geisel, big league nmps, got strict attention when he announced by merely raising a finger. ,How He must miss the pop bottles! Ott Ray, former czar of things fistic in this city, mingled, freely with the common peepul, of whom he is now one. . . . There were no speeches made from the ring on behalf of the new boxing commission. What a shame! Plez Oliver broadcast from the rear row, west side, main floor, station BULL. ... If boxers would only follow the advice hurled in their direction by the irrepressible Plez, they’d all be champions. Wonder if the round boy who puts up the numbers trains for his job? His seriousness is worthy of a grander purpose. Geisel announced the coming amateur city championships at Turner hall on Feb. 8 and 9, and there were murmurs of “There’s where you’ll see the fighting.” . . . Wonder what became of the big bunch of lilies that used to hang over the ring at Tomlinson hall? The emblem of purity! Arthur Paetz, Turner matchmaker, was on hand to follow the fortunes of Jimmy Dalton, Turner boxing coach. . . . And Jimmy made a showing that surprised the fans. . . . There seems to be some fighting left in the little Italian. Two girl friends of the boy who ■nt cooled in the first round of the Pecond bout wept copiously and retired from the scene of carnage to comfort their boy friend. . . As this is stark realism which is always supposed to end with tragedy —tha£’s all.

A short while back, in the greyhound races at Miami, the feature contest of the program was won by Freddie Parton, a very consistent “hound.” Freddie’s performance was particu- ' tarty noteworthy because the mechanical rabbit which the dogs follow jumped the track. While the other dogs were jamming up on the turn and wondering what it was all about, Freddie kept on going to win. He deserved at least an extra bone for supper. * * * i v IUST when everyone started ; J to get excited about that ‘oLJ Chicago defense which held Purdue without a field goal in the first half and Illinois to 14 points and five field goals in a full game, along come the Gophers and upset the Maroons. And now it seems as though there Is no great secret about Coach Norgren’s methods. According to the Big Ten Weekly, he did not use the same style to break up Purdue and Illinois attacks. Against the Boilermakers’ long pass, a man-to-man defense was used, which smothered Cramer, who was laying back in an efttfort to receive the long toss and ™tip the ball to a forward or guard dashing down the floor. Purdue won out in the final period by a dribbling attack and Spradling’s determined rushes through the center of the Chicago wall. Against the Illinois short pass, criss-cross style a two-line flveman defense was used, which stood almost impregnable. The tidal waves of the Illinois offensive dashed in vain against the bulwark to break harmlessly, the concentrated force scattered hither and thither. • * • There is one thing In favor of the Michigan basketball team this season. The Wolverines do not meet Indiana or Purdue in the Big Ten schedule.’ We hear an echo from Ann Arbor—“ Yes, and It’s a good thing the Hoosiers don’t meet our boys.” IVfaybe so, maybe so. We don’t feel like arguing today. • • • The examinations are over today In a number of the State colleges. It is to be hoped that it is not all over with any of the basMetball players. * • • This is a fast age. A Franklin College freshman basketball player has two children. * p Me hereby send out our weekly warning to the clubs which play Martinsville. This time it is Marion. * • * What could be more appropriate. Mr. Scott was given the verdict over Mr. Cook of Australia In a boxing bout at Edinburgh, Scotland. If Scott can’t win in Scotland, there’s no hope for him.

COLLEGE BOXER IS WI N_N E R Mulholland Keeps on Top of Buck —Other Wednesday Fistic Results. By Eddie Ash Local fistic fans Wednesday night reserved judgment on George. Mulholland’s ability to advance in professional ring ranks until the big college boy of Indianapolis has some more engagements. George fought Soldier Buck, Louisville veteran light Khavy. in the tenround feature at Tomlinson Hall and was entitled to the verdict on aggressiveness. He held a marked weight advantage over the Kentuckian and used his massive poundage to keep on top of the visitor. George displayed a willingness to get. in there and mix it, but Buck was not similarly inclined. Fact of the matter the soldier did not meas ure up to the standard he set in previous battles here. Tlirough Ropes Mulholland rushed Buck through the ropes once and the Louisville vet toQk a head spin, but it was not a knockdown and there was no count, the referee helping Buck, back into the ring. The crowd enjoyed Mulholland’s aggressiveness and gave the youth a good hand. . It was George’s second pro engagement and he demonstrated he possesses much power In his broad shoulders. He needs more boxing experience, however, especially in .the art of timing punches and in the use of his right hand. In the semi-wind-up of eight rounds Tony Sanders, Cincinnati, who substituted for Red McDonald. Toledo, had the better of Jimmy Dalton, Indianapolis. It was an interesting scrap. Sanders got away to a lead in the early rounds. Dalton rallied later and made it a fight, but failed to overcome Sanders’ advantage. The fans got a good kick out of the second half of the scrap. Dalton was late in getting his punches timed properly because of lack of bouts recently.
