NOTRE DAME PLAYS WABASH TONIGHT; DE PAUW AT BUTLER, THURSDAY

TAYLOR’S VICTORY DECISIVE Bud Beats Smith on Points i. by Wide Margin—Fast Prelims. Not caring to take chances on injuring his hands by striving tor a knockout, Bud Taylor, Terre Haute bantam, was satisfied to go along and win on points over Midget Smith, New York, in the main go of ten rounds at Tomlinson Hall, Tuesday night. Bud's margin of victory was decisive. He used his long left to advantage and stabbed the Midget often. Occasionally, the Hoosier hooked to the body for more points. Smith’s chief weapon was a hard l ight hand punch that had plenty of steam behind it, but it did not land enough times to offset the tattoo attack launched by Taylor. Bud is in a position to capture the world’s bantamweight crown shortly and for that reason played a little safe with Smith to lessen the danger k>f courting injuries. It was anWiouneed each boy weighed 120 %. but the Midget append soft around the midsection. Tomlinson Hail was packed for the Tuesday show and many fans occupied standing room.

Indiana - Michigan Clash Saturday Also Featured on College Card. The Notre Dame-Wabash tilt tonight. DePauw-Butlfsr clash Thursday at the new Armory in Indianapolis, and the Indiana-Miclugan battle Saturday at Ann Arbor will provide the major portion of interest for Hoosier college basketball fans the remainder of the week. The Irish will invade Crawfordsville this evening intent on demonstrating to the Little Giants that No.tre Dame is a better ball club than Indiana. Probable Line-up Pete Vaug'han probably will use Adams and Thornburg at the forward positions, Harbison at center, and De Vol and Coffel at guards. The South Benders’ offensive very likely will center around Johnny Nyikos at center, Vince McNally and young Crowe may start at forwards with Bucky Dahman and Louis Conroy at guards. In a previous struggle at Notre Dame this season, the Irish downed Wabash. DePauw is anxious to avenge itself for the defeat handed it several weeks ago by Butler at Greencastle and the usual “red-hot” battle is expected to be staged. Ward and Chadd One of the features of the tilt probably will be the “little game” between Johnny Ward, Tiger forward, and Archie Chadd, Bulldog floorguard. Both little fellows were hanging to each other’like leeches in the first game between the schools and were cautioned once for using “not so nice” language. The game will be played at the new Armory and will be broadcast over WFBM, Indianapolis Power and Light station, by The Times, Blythe Q. Hendricks at the microphone. Indiana hopes to put itself back in the running for Ten title honors with a victory over the Wolverines Saturday. The game will be played on the Michigan floor. Some time ago the Wolverines invaded Bloomington and knocked off the Crimson.

City Bowling Gossip • I By Lefty Lee The H. A. C. League games rolled on the Elk Club alleys Tuesday night resulted in three-time wins for the Indian Clubs and Water Dogs over the Boosters and Ropes, while the Bucks and Tumblers grabbed two out of three from the Ballroom Five and Dumb Bells. 5 This loop was loaded with features. The Indian Clubs rolled 1,024 in their final game and secured high team total for the three games with a count of 2,820. E. Kernel of the Water Dogs pulled the best one of the season when he rolled 201, 201 and 201 for a total of CO3. This is what might be called consistent. Smith of the Indian club team carried off high honors for three games with a total of 629, secured on counts of 188, 222 and 219. Landis of the Duma Bells topped a field of seventeen 200 scorers with a 232, secured in his second game. In the Ladies’ Social League games the Krels Transfer and Silver Flash teams won three from the Komstohk Candy and Armacost Auto teams, while the A. C. Bradley and Shank Storage were taking two out of three from the Capitol Furniture and Mueller Soft Drink fives. Mrs. F. Meyer of the Capitol Furniture team secured a total of 619 on games of 208, 187 and 224. She has been threatening to top the 600 mark for some time and finally went over with a big finish. Mrs. Johns again rolled consistent tenpins and reached a total of 624 on games of 161, 193 and 170. Other women to pass the 500 mark were: McGrath, 516; Jay, 506; Meeker, 509; Eicher, 517, and McKinnon, 688. Five games passed the 200 mark, with the 246 score of McKinnon of the Shank Storage team being high. ALLEY OWNERS’ CLASSIC One of the most popular meets ever to be staged in this city is the Alley Owners’ Classic now entering its fifth week. More real interest has been shown in this event, and the manner in which Clarence Meyers and “Bill” Sargent have handled It, is the chief cause, we believe. Bill Sargent was wearing the medal, which will he presented to the winner, last Sunday. Bill says it was the only chance he had to wear it. ' Jess Pritchett cortld not resist the temptation to stay away, and entered in vast Sunday’s shoot. Lack of practice held the “king” down. As Jess put it: “This is the first time I had a ball in my band for a month, Paul Kramer was another new entrant Sunday, and while he rolled good tenpins, the pace set was too fast and he failed to cash. "Johnny” Fehr was the unfortunate victim of a lost ball and was unable to compete. Clarence Meyers finally cashed when he hit on all six throughout the afternoon. Clarence says these drives are. still. my "pie” alley’s. Eddie Hornberger, after a so-so start, has been coming along better each Sunday and is now leading the field with a total of 3.2P0. Eddie’s last three series were 831. 834 and 877. This, say we, is real bowling. Charley Leibtag says: " You’re in my class Lee.” We surely feel sorry for Charles. Next Sunday will find the gang at the Recreation alleys.

Wrigley Offers to Back Young CHICAGO, Feb. 16. William Wrigley, Jr., chewing gum and baseball magnate, believes George Young, the 17-year-old boy who swam the Catalina Channel, can beat any swimmer in the world over a distance of twenty to thirty miles in any body of water. In support of tills belief, Wrigley has come forward with an offer to back Young for $25,000 against any swimmer. He stipulated that this amount must be covered so that a purse of $50,000 would go to the winner. HOOSIER ACES BUST The Hoosier Aces meet the ThirtyFirst St., Baptist Juniors tonight at the gym, Thirty-First and Annete Sts., at 9 o’clock. There will be two preliminary games. * The Cygnets will play the Maroons and the C. C. C. girls will meet the Riverside girls. >

PUT it down now for a double-riveted, copper-cornered fact: Prince Albert will give you more pleasure to the cubic inch than any other tobacco you ever packed in a pipe. Maybe I’m prejudiced. Even so, my statement holds. I’ll leave it to you, after your first P. A. pipe-load. Buy a tidy red tin of P. A. and follow these simple directions: Tuck about a thimbleful into the bowl of your favorite pipe. Light up, and pull that cool, consoling smoke up the stem. Exhale slowly and get the full benefit of that wonderful Prince Albert taste.

(Iff the NORMAH • BACKBOARD f AC3

The Big Ten net race now is tied up In knots by the performance of Purdue in pulling Michigan down from its tup rung position. That is not the only surprise that awaits Conference fans. That is one of the most Interesting parts of basketball—one never can tell just what Is liable to happen. ( A dispatch from Kansas City by the United Press gives the information that Kansas City lays claim to being the basketball center of the world. Indiana contests that. If Missouri can show us almost 800 high school teams, twenty college quintets and a few hundred independent teams that play the type of basketball played in Hooslerdotn we will admit the claim. But until then . One of the gang has returned from Marion with a great tale of real spirit. Not only school spirit, but city spirit. The homo of the State 1926 high school basketball cham-

State. The dyed-in-the-wool fans insist Thomas is saving big “Red” Davidson for tournament time. That is rather unusual. In many cities as soon ns the team loses three or four games the coach is the worst in the world, the team Is terrible and the gym is empty on game nights. Marlon deserves a lot of credit.
