BULLDOGS PREPARE FOR CONTEST WITH DE PAUW THURSDAY NIGHT

Iffals’ Fine Performance Against Michigan State Pleasing to Supporters. Coach Hinkle ia spending quite a blfc*of time this week on his Butler basketball team, in preparation for the Bulldogs’ tilt with De Pauw at Greencastle Thursday night. Although the Tigers suffered decisive defeats at the hands of Indiana and Wabash the Blue and White mentor is taking no chances and is going to the limit in the effort to get his team into the best possible shape. Out of Slump The locals’ performance against Michigan State last Friday was altogether pleasing to Butler supporters, ind they believe the Irvington aggregation has come out of its recent slump. Chadd is still playing his great brand of ball while Wakefield turned in his best game of the year against the Aggies. Jackman, who first saw action against Marquette, tore into the Michigan game and again repeated his sharpshooting feat. llolz Regains Form Holz has come out of a temporary slump and looked to be in fine form last Friday night. Chandler is still at a fast clip. WKe of Hinkle’s biggest worries is the fact that Johnny Ward probably will be in fine fettle and will bear close guarding. Sturtridge also will be watched closely by Butierites. A number of Indianapolis fans are expected to make the trip. City Bowling Gossip - ' —By Lefty Lee" Before a large and responsive crowd at the Century alleys Monday, Jimmy Smith, world famous bowler, performed in rare form despite the fact he lost a match to Jerry O’Grady, Century alley star. Scores of this match were: Smith 202-205-222 —020 J. O Grady 207-247-222—070 After an exhibition on spare-mak-ing, over which Jimmy had perfect control, he doubled with Jess Cox against Mrs. Johns and Johnny Eder. Scores of this match were: Mrs. Johns 140-100-142 —472 J Eilcr 214-222-172—008 354-412-314-1,0801 Jess Cox 100-148-141—455 Jimmy Smith 234-200-277—fit 400-348-418-1.106 This gave Smith a total of 1,340 pins for his six games for an average of 223 1-3 pins per game. We still maintain Jimmy is the champ. ttlie first half of a six-game l. the Century Alley Five de--1 the Beam's Illinois Alley Five by a score of 3,055 to 2,905. Jerry O'Grady was the outstanding star of this match when he rolled games of 244, 226 and 279 for a total of 749 pins, an average of 249 2-3 pins per game. This series was not shot on Jerry’s pin alleys, the first half having been played at the Illinois drives on alleys 9 and 10. John Naughton of the same club had 611 on games of 224, 203 and 214. The Alhambra Grotto teams of St. Louis, who boasted a string of twenty-six straight wins, surely had their record -smashed when they picked on the Sahara boys from here, being able to win but one match of the four played. This one was won by Alhambra No. 1 against Sahara No. 3 by a score of 2,651 to 2,399. Moral: Be very quiet about your record when you visit the Hoosier boys. Monday night saw anew record for high three-game total in the Cen/tury League and anew member elected to the fast growing 700 club. Goodhue of the Lincoln Highway team, with games of 211, 258 and 245, for a total of 714, topped Jerry O'Grady, who held high total with 704. His shooting gave the Lincoln Highways a two-out-of-three win over the Banquet Ice Cream team and high three-game total for the nisdit in this loop, 2,974 pins being by this club. Two out of three ruled in tills loop's play, the Werbe-Meissen, Holt man Slices and Century alley five downing the Florsheim Shoe, Paramount Optical and Century Billiards. Four games passed the 1,4)00 mark, the 1,033 of Lincoln Highway being high. Six hundred shooters in this loop were: Goodhue, 714; Oeftering, 638; Haagsma, 656; J. O'Grady, 615; McCall. 606, and Callahan, 605. Thirtysix games passed the 200 mark, the 258 of Goodhue being high. The Roberson Coal team was the only outfit able to win three in the Recreation League Monday night, downing the 8-F Coffee boys for the count. Coca Cola, Krois Transfer and Bailey Realtors were two-time winners over the Shell Gasoline, Baker Bro3. and Silver Flash teams. The 1,031 scored by the Silver Flash in their middle game was the only game to pass the 1,000 mark in this loop. Thirty-three games passed the 200 mark, the 234 of Haislup and “Nan” Schott being high. Six hundred shooters in this loop were led by Roy Haislup, who had games of 213, 234 and 216 for a total of 663. Mahoney had 638; Sheehan, 625; L. Fox, 628; N'crHliolt, 605; Calvin, 618; Fahrba-ch, 602; “Nan” Schott, 621, and Kirkhoff, 605. f Sargent reports an entry of already entered in the alley owners’ classic play which will start next Saturday night. Bill is out hustling to put this affair over, and if you have not entered as yet, do it now, for he will get you sooner or later.

TORONTO ‘KID’ CASHES IN ON CATALINA FEAT George Young Gets SI,OOO a Night for Stage Appear-ance—-Swamped With Other Offers.

Bu United Press LOS ANGELES, Cal., Jan. 18.— Saturday he was a 17-year-old youth with hardly a dollar to his name. Today he possessed $15,000 in cash and was showered with vaudeville and movie contracts. Young signed his first contract Monday. One giving him SI,OOO a night for appearing the rest of this week at a large Los Angeles motion picture theater. Such was the "rags to riches” story of George Young, Toronto, Canada, who won the Catalina Island swim and the $25,000 prize, awarded by William Wrigley, Jr. The 17-year-old son of a poor Canadian widow entered the swim under the auspices of Henry O’Byrne, who paid all the training expense. Soon after Young staggered up on the California shore after his gruelling twenty-three miles fight against tides, cold and a great bed of floating kelp, the young swimmmer gave SIO,OOO of his prize to O’Bryne. Then the Canadian lad returned to a hotel and has been besieged since with theatrical, motion picture and professional sport managers, who have offered him lucrative contracts to capitalize the public incident to his winning the Catalina marathon. Manufacturers of bathing suits and caps, liniment makers and even axle-grease firms offered him substantial contracts. After considering all the contracts offered, Young said today he had almost decided to accept the one presented by a motion picture firm which offered to make him a movie

star similar to Red Grange, who entered pictures after he had received publicity, much like Young's for his prowess on the football field. BADGERS DROP CHICAGO Wisconsin Packs Victory Wallop in Overtime Period—Belir High. Bu Times Special CHICAGO, Jan, 18.—Dr. Walter Meanwell’s Wisconsin quintet had an extra wallop in the overtime period here Monday night and defeated Chicago, 33-30. The score at the end of the regular playing time was knotted at 27-all, and the Badgers sank three field goals to gain a victory and boost its standing in the Big Ten. The Midway quintet got away to a good start and were leading. 14-11, at half. Behr. with four field goals and three free throws, snagged the high point honors. Zimmerman and Hoerger were best for Chicago. WOLVERINES RApIIUNI Bu Times Special ANN ARBOR. Mich., Jan. 18.— The Wolverines came from behind to defeat Illinois, 25-24, here Monday night. The Michigan five was trailing by a point with a minute of play remaining when Chambers, floor guard, sank the winning field goal.

mNDIANA and Michigan will battle it out at Bloomington Saturday night for undisputed possession of tho pace-making position in the Big Ten. Both have won three games and have lost none. The Wolverines will be the Crimson’s first really tough opponent. And a little review shows the fact that the Ann Arbor quintet will be anything but soft. Minnesota fell before the attack of the Michigan five, 31-20, lowa bowed down, 41-22, and Monday night Illinois took the skids, 25-24. Indiana has defeated Minnesota, Wisconsin and Northwestern. Thursday night the De Pauw Tiger will sharpen its claws and teeth and await the expected onslaught of the Butler Bulldog. The local outfit appeared to be an “off-and-on” club tor a while. The Bulldog players snapped out of it last Friday night against the Michigan Aggies and may show some real ball to the Greencastle five at Greencastle. Tell us the boys don’t give ’em a thrill.

Elliott, Hogg, Rowbottom, Johnson and Hall. They rooted for Ft. Wayne. Ralph Miller, Indianapolis baseball player, plays with Ft. Wayne. When the “lumber” goes to sleep it’s getting pretty raw. Fellow In the seventh row, section D at Tomlinson Hall Monday night went to sleep during the Fitzsimmons-Wlg-glns boxing bout. Don’t see any one going to sleep during basketball games do you? Yes, Friday Is the day. No delays. We’ll come straight out and tell you we have selected —. And Martinsville will be at home to Bedford on Friday night, Feb. 11. Notre Dame minus Capt. Johnny Nyikos will try to stave off the Wabash attack Saturday night at South Bend. Notre Dame with Nyikos is a whole lot different than Notre Dame minus Nyikos.

FITZ EASY Bob Proves Weak Opponent for Wiggins. If Bob Fitzsimmons, Jr., ever was a promising heavyweight boxer, it has been taken out of him and he is now in the “catcher” class. The son of the former world’s champion started boxing late in life and apparently never caught up. He mixed with Chuck Wiggins, Hoosier champion, in the main go of ten rounds at Tomlinson Hall Monday night and was on the receiving end of most of the glove action. Wiggins won decisively on points and many fans thought Chuck could have disposed of Fitz had he cut loose more. It was an easy scrap for Wiggins. The Monday night show drew a packed house. Results of other bouts follow: Battling Budd, Terre Haute, knocked out Jackie Dugan, Indianapolis, in the third round. It was a great fight and the crowd enjoyed it. The boys fought in sensational style. Red Holloway, Gary, outpointed Ehrman Clark, Indianapolis, in six rounds. Holloway had a ten-pound weight advantage. Don Carson, Indianapolis, shaded Eddie Roberts, Indianapolis, in six
