ILLINI WINS Badger Hopes Smashed by Sucker Net Five. Bit Times Special CHAMPAIGN, 111., March I.—Any hopes that “Doc” Meanwell's Badger net team fostered for a Big Ten net title were shattered here Monday night when the Universty of Illinois quintet defeated Wisconsin, 32-28. The Badgers were off to an early lead and were ahead, 14-11, at the half. The Illini tied it up and with a brilliant spurt in the closing minutes of play took the Olson was high point man with nine tallies.

—-1 SMOOTH road appears to be facing the University of Michigan basketball team in its headlong rush to Big Ten net title. But two games remain, Chicago and lowa, and the Wolverines should not have much trouble with either. One victory will assure the Ann Arbor five of at least a tie for Conference honors, and two victories an undisputed championship. Michigan’s victory over the Boilermakers Monday night was a great surprise. Not a surprise in the fact the Wolverines were returned victors, but of the tremendous score the winners piled up. It was 42-20, an unusual count for a game doped to be a toss-up. Illinois’ victory over the Badgers was the only thing that saved our reputation as a picker (however poor it may be) from total disaster. Our Big Ten batting avreage was jolted down to .720. Capt. “Pug” Daugherity of the Illini, leading Big Ten scorer, was held to one field goal Monday night, but managed to pass the century mark. He now has 101 points. Oosterbaan and Harrigan, Wolverine sharpshooters, who led the attack on Purdue, crawled up to second and third places in the individual standings, Benny boosting his total to 97 and Harrigan mounting to 93. Johnny Rice was at the Tomlinson Hall fights Monday night chewing the rag with the Old Settler. Johnny has a snappy llttje net quintet down on the south side, the Sacred Heart High School team. Johnny at one time was one of the best net performers in this section of the State, and we have it on reliable information he can still travel along with the best of them. The question was brought up today about substituting in an overtime period. In the South Side Turners’ Sunday afternoon game the official refused to allow a substitution on the ground it is not allowed in an overtime period. The official probably had been reading a hook of cricket or water polo rules. The overtime session is a continuation

of the second half and anything that would be allowed in a regular game should be allowed in the extra period. Vincennes’ right to represent the Alice city in the regionals has been, or rather will be, challenged. Brucevllle is pointing for the sectional championship. The City Basketball League race almost reached its end. Wednesday night at the Hoosier Athletic Club the Big Four will meet the Pennsy team and the H. A. C. will play the Diamond Chain. The Hoosiers and Big Four are tied for first place. Should Diamond Chain upset the Hoosiers it looks as if the Big Four faces a clear claim to the title. , There are two sectional centers in the State whose winners are far from certain. One is at Shelbyville, where Waldron is liable to cause much trouble. Columbus also plays in the same tourney. The other is Franklin. Center Grove may go to the regiona! from that place. Archie Chadd of Butler will have a busy time this evening. His team plays Wabash, at Crawfordsville. On that Wabash team is a fellow named Benny De Vol. Now, the up and up on the matter is Benny happens to be quite a dangerous young man. He has the ability to wreck many opposing fives. Now Archie’s specialty is tyiYig up these dangerous men in such a way they can do no damage Benny probably will he resolved that Archie or no Archie, he is going to end this season in real style. And the same probably can go for the Bainbridge gentleman.

U. S. Checker Team Is ‘Hot Stuff’

Bu United Press NEW I **YORK, March I.—Pardonable national pride was rampant in the city’s American quarter today when word got around that the United States checkers team, after the first day's play against a dozen British stars, was -leading, nine games to one, with thirty-eight games drawn. There will be “only” 528 more games before the matches end on March 12. Outstanding among the initial victories were three triumphs scored by Sam Gonotsky, obviously a Brooklyn American, over Sam Cohen, just as patently a London Englishman. Cohen came to this country with the reputation of having conquered all the better players in that empire on which the sun never sets. But Gonetsky was too fast for him. On the very .first game the Brooklyn man advanced on an original line of play from the second double corner opening and Cohen was gasping at the bell. The English and Scotch players, out of courtesy, were given permanent seats in the hotel grillroom, where the matches are being fought. The Americans will rotate daily until each has played four games with every British contestant. Under that procedure it will be unnecessary for any of the invading team to get any exercise whatever during the tournament. And after watching one day of jilay it is a safe bet at odds that none will violate his privilege. PALM BEACH GOLF Bu X 7 iiitrd Press PALM BEACH, Fla., March I.

Little Giants and Bulldogs Play Wind-up Fray at Crawfordsville. Bn Times Special CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., March 1. —Wabash and Butler will close their basket seasons here tonight with what is expected to be one of the hardest fought net clashes of the year. Butler chalked up an easy victory over the Little Giants in the meeting between the rivals at Indianapolis, but with the Cavemen in form the Bulldogs are likely to hit a snag. Pete Vaughan has drilled his men long and hard for the tilt and an air of expectancy is hanging over Crawfordsville. Local fans are looking for the Wabash five to have an “on” night and ring down the curtain on the season with a spectacular victory over the Bulldogs. The contest starts at 8 o’clock. Coach Paul Hinkle and his Butler five arrived in town this afternoon. Reports from the Capital City indicate the Butler mentor did not spare his men in the daily drills and to the effect the Blue and White athletes are expecting a victory. DE PAUW TO MAKE STAND Tigers Determined to End Season by Downing Baptists. Bu Times Special GREENCASTLE, Ind., March I. De Pauw Tigers will make a determined stand against Franklin here tonight in the final game of the season for the locals. Not only will the game end the season for the Methodists, but it will close the careers of four regulars, Ward, Steward, Puckett and Sturtridge. The Baptists rode rough-shod over De Pauw in the game at Franklin earlier in the season, and the locals are anxious to wind up a rather mediocre season in a blaze of glory. Coach Hughes intimated today his starting line-up probably would consist of Ward and Steward, forwards; Sturtridge, center; Messersmlth and Puckett, guards. Others who may see action are Byram and Costello. GOPHERS CAPTURE MEET Final Event in Dual Track Event Gives Minnesota Victory. Ba l nitrd Press CHICAGO.

City Bowling Gossip By Lefty Lee '■ ,l ■ —■

Two-out-of-three wins ruled In the Century League games Monday night. The Paramount Optical, Banquet Ice Cream, Century Billiards and Century Alley Five took the Werbe-Meissen, Florsheim Shoe, Holtman Shoe and Lincoln Highway over this route. • Ordinary bowling was on tap in this loop, the 2,871 of the Century Alley Five being high. Among the individuals Kimble of the Paramount team was high with games of 236, 167 and 219 for a total of 622. Heiss had 617; Sturm, 603; Naughton, 600; Boime, 616, and Goodhue, 606. But twenty-nine gapies went over the 200 mark, the 236\score of Kimble in his first game Wing high. One of the greatest comebacks In the history of the bowling game was recorded by the Fisher Body No. 12 team of Detroit. In a twelvegame match with the Baetz & Block rm the Fisher were 472 pins vn at the half. They continued to fight, however, in the last half and reduced their opponents’, lead to 104 pins at the end of eleven games. Then these boys, led by Captain "Bolly” Hess with a perfect 300, secured a total of 1,220 pins and won the match by fifty-three pins. In the final game the Fisher team secured a total of 11 out of a possible 60 strikes, every man on the club striking out except one, and he got his first one to make his string four in a row from the sixth frame. In the last three games Hess had games of 234, 209 and 300 for a total of 743. Every one, we believe, will agree that this is the most remarkable performance of the greatest bowling season in the history of the game. The Silver Flash and Roberson Coal teams staged a pretty battle in the second game of their series in the Recreation League Monday night, the coal men winning by a score of 1,040 to 1,033. However, this was the only game the Roberson hoys were able to win. In the other games Bailey's Realtors won three from the Kreis Transfer?: while the Shell Gas and Coca-Cola teams took the 3-F Coffee and Baker Bros, into camp for two out of three. Johnny Felir rolled a consistent series, liaving games of 234, 223 arid 222 for a total of 681. Hueber also held a hot hand, his games showing 235, 211 and 222 for a 668 count. “Nan” Schott had 616 and Hackurd 602. Thirty-six of the games were over the 200 mark, Eddie Streibeck's 240 in his middle game being high. The Fletcjier American team defeated the St. John’s Evangelical squad in a special match game by a score of 2,700 to 2,658. The match was close and exciting, and at one stage in the final game the St. John boys were even up only to drop back when the bank boy3 spurted. Only nineteen more days and wo will all be on our way to the Big Show at Peoria. The best wa can wish every one is: May you all hit your “dream” scores. Tedrowc, witli an even 600 count on games of 201, 204 und 195, led the field. Seven games passed the 200 mark, the 216 game of Jansing being best.
