WARD LAMBERT, BOILERMAKER NET COACH, HAS GREAT VICTORY RECORI

RICKARD MAYBE BALKED 0 Commission Will Not Allow Tex to Violate Admission Price Rule. Ky Henry L. Farrell United Press Stall Correspondent NEW YORK, Jan. 12.—Rules of the New York boxing commission, which limit the top admission price to a championship match to $25, will not be amended for Tex Rickard or any New York promoter, the United Press was Informed today. When Rickard announced in St. Louis that he had signed Gene Tunney to defend the heavyweight championship of the world in the Yankee Stadium next September, for a sum that might be $1,000,000, he voiced confidence he would be able to charge SOO each for all the ringside seats. Ilules Must Stand "There isn’t a chancp in the world that the rules of the commission, which provide for a maximum admission price of $25 for a championship match, will be changed,” the United Press was told. In Announcing that the Yankee stadium would be the battlefield, Rickard explained he could not seat as many spectators as he did in the Philadelphia stadium, where Tunney dethroned Jack Dempsey last fall, but that a top price of SSO would make the gate receipts larger. It does not follow, of course, that Rickard is bound to use the Yankee stadium. The mayors of Philadelphia and Baltimore have invited him to consider the use of huge municipal stadia in their cities. The powers of boxing in New York feel Rickard is trying to hold a club over them. Good Money Lost It has been pointed out that New York State lost a huge sum in taxes and profits for business men when the commission forced Rickard to take the Dempsey-Tunney fight to Philadelphia. But the argument enters that New York dosn’t need the tax mofiey badly enough to let one promoter or a group of promoters force the hand of politicians who do not want their authority to be questioned by the boxing element.

Lafayette Mentor’s Teams Have Won 95 of 135 Games. Bu Times Sri rein! ' LAFAYETTE, Ind.. Jan. 12.—The reason for Coach Ward Lambert's outstanding position as a basketball coach in the Unifed States has been revealed by the “victory record” of the Purdue University mentor during the eight years he has coached here, 1010 through 1026. Out of 135 games played Lambert'steams have won 95, or 70.03 per cent, and of 90 games played with Big Ten teams, Purdue has won 57, or 63.3 per cent. Purdue at present is engaged in the thick of another Big Ten campaign. * Eight Years at Purdue Only once in the eight years Lambert has coached here has Purdue fallen below fourth place in the Conference standing, and that in the chaotic 1919 seasojj .after the war, when the Boilermakers stood in seventh place. Purdue has finished in the Big Ten since 1910 as follows: 1020, second; 1921, tie for first; 1922, won championship; 1923, fourth; 1924, tie for second; 1925, fourth; 1926, tie for championship, making two titles for which Purdue has tied and one championship in eight years. Many of Lambert's players have been unanimous choices for all-Con- i ference honor teams, the last being George Spradlin#,. so chosen for ! three consecutive years, one of the | greatest forwards of all time in the i Big Teh. What Records Show The records show Chicago and Michigan hold one-game edge on Lambert's teams, and that Purdue is tied with Minnesota and Illinois in games played. With other schools Purdue has an edge, running as high as eleven games won out of fourteen played. Purdue’s Conference basketball record from 1919, and including 1926, follows: .

J Hit United Press LOS ANGELES, Jan. 12. —Jack Dempsey, planning to re-enter the ring in an effort to win anew the heavyweight championship, thus far has been left cold by Tex Rickard’s idea that he should enter an elimination tournament. Dempsey intimated he was wilding to fight Gene, Tunney, but was not interested in a semi-final bout to precede the championship match. The former title-holder tends to leave for the East within a, month or six weeks after some preliminary training here. Basketball Notes ! The William H.

CITY BOWLING GOSSIP

The Recreation League rolled a double-header this week to catch up on three postponed games during the city tournament- The Shell Gas team won its series with the 3-F Coffe* squad, while Silver Flash, Bailey Realtors and Baker Bros, won two out of three from the Roberson Coal, Kries Transfer and Coca Cola. After a poor start the Silver Flash oame back in their last two matches and rolled better than 1,000 each game, the 1,018 in their middle effort being high for the night. Johnny Goodwin, who hast been going in the form that made him famous fifteen years ago, led the league with games of 186, 226 and 235 for a total of 647. Lew Fahrbach, another good pin buster, had 6442 on games of 173, 246 and 223. Other 600 shooters were: “Nan” Schott, 619; Nordholt, 612; Myers, 635; James, 600; Wheeler, 608; Fehr, 609, and Botven, 613. Clarence Myers found the pocket often in his middle try and secured high game and three pounds of 3-F Coffee on a score of 257.

A defy which, no doubt, will bring out a great two-man match some time this season is the challenge of Mori Lindsay and Barney Spinclla to any two-man team In the world for any purse. Frank A. Dwyer, who is managing these stars, looks to the West for an acceptance of this challenge as all of the eastern cracks concede these two men the edge. Jimmy Smith’s games at Tulsa, j Okla., on New Year’s day were as follows: 685, 647, 635, 669, 626, 628, 636 and 678, for a grand average of 217.

Off the Backßoard

"Wabash turned the trick on Franklin at Crawfordsville Tuesday. The Little Giants played a great game and deserve all the credit in the world. Benny De Vol had one of his good nights and performed in a wonderful manner. Although not i taking the high point honors, Benny had control of the ball most 'of the time and fed his running mate, “lied” Robinson,' like ia champion. “Red” was “on” too and didn’t have very much ; trouble in annexing the high scoring laurels.

The result was something of an upset, taking into consideration the two Franklin victories over Evansville while the Cavemen were downed two in a row by the Purple Aces. The game was splendid from a spectator's standpoint, not exceptionally fast, but no poor passing | and shooting cropping up to mari the fray. Once before we had occasion to laud a certain player who parades under the monicker of Lester Reynolds. Again we are going to devote a little space to Martinsville High School's net captain. He is, without doubt, one of the best players in the State right now. He plays the game with a versatility that is hard to rival. He woke up the boys at the State tournament last year with a wonderful display of long shooting, following in, tak : irig ’em off the backboard, and guarding his man to perfection. He is in his best year right now. Chicago will lie playing at North- ! western tonight. We pick North- ! western. If you are thinking of betI ling on that—let us warn you. Our pereenlage to date* on Conference picks is .667. Six out of nine. Hold those eggs and tomatoes, please. There will be plenty of action up on N. Pennsylvania St., Saturday night. The place is the National Guard Armory: the tirifce, 8 o’clock and the event, a basketball game. To enlighten you more; Technical will occupy one portion of the place and Manual, the remainder. When good fellows get together—this is quite different, however. When Manual and Tech get together button up your vest and hold your breath. It will lie a slam-bang affair. Wnen the ’ south side and the east side face each other there are no smiles and friendly greetings. It will lie hammer and tongs—any may the | better team win.

so at any rate. This year it is not only a rivalry battle—it will be a grudge tangle. Technical’s players remember very well just wliat the Manual team did to the Green last year at the Exposition Building in the City Series game. It Is pretty hard to remember the seore, but if he recall correctly the patrons started leaving when Manual had rolled up a twenty-point lead near the end of the tilt. Tech will be out to get even and Manual w T ill be on hand to show the folks that It isn’t nearly such a weak outfit as has been rumored. We hear that Massey, Demmary and Thompson are polishing up on their sharpshooting while Rubush, down at Manual, is shuffling his feet on the floor and rubbing his hands. We’ll be there. Franklin will play host to Notre Dame on Friday night. Iset’s see now—how far is it to Franklin?

Those who were on last year and those that are still playing. Those who were on last year’s squad were Overman, Everett Chapman, Murphy, Robert Chapman, Kilgore, Usher, Heck, Davidson, Johnson, Chasey. Those on this year's team are, Everett Chapman, Kilgore, Usher, Chasey and Davidson. We were informed today that Johnny Nyikos, captain of the Notre Dame team, and virtually the whole works of the Irish outfit, has received a leg injury and will be unable to compete in the Franklin game at Franklin Friday.
