Off the * I Backboard *—By Norman E. Isaacs —
FOUR bells and all's well! There was a lull in activity at Conference basketball camps today as the Big Ten coaches prepared to administer the final preparatory touches for the opening Conference games Saturday night. As the Big Tenners slowly wheel their machines to the starting post ready for the signal to go, predictions on the probably outcome of the campaign almost become flabby and inadequate. a a a Practice games with non-Con-ference opponents have served to give just a slight inkling of the power of each of the Conference outfits. tt a tt PURDUE and Michigan still remain slight favorites to set the pace. Indiana won’t be very far behind, if the critics sometimes can be trusted, while Northwestern and Wisconsin have moved into darkhorse stalls. It is going to be a close and exciting campaign. That much is agreed upon. Off the Backboard’s guess-work on the probable outcome of the race follows: I—Purdue. 2—Northwestern. 3—lndiana. 4—Michigan. s—Wisconsin. 6—Chicago. 7—lowa. B—lllinois. 9—Ohio State. 10—Minnesota. a tt WHEN Purdue’s Boilermakers line up against the University of Illinois net quintet at Urbana
Saturday night to open the chase for the Big Ten crown, the Lafayette crew probaably will have an eye on one Ulini man, who is rated a little better than par. He is Everett (Swede) Olsen, captain of the Illinois aggregation who has hopes this year of leading his outfit to a high place

Olsen
in the Conference standings. Olsen is a wiry six-footer, weighs 159 pounds, passes well, is a capable ball handler and is fast and quick. He hails from Champaign, 111. BUTLER is going to face plenty of oposition Friday night when the Bulldogs stack up against Evansville on the latter’s floor. The Aces are tough enough to upset the locals and handicapped by the temporary loss of Clarence Christopher the locals will be forced to step lively. tt GLANCING over the schedules we find that Notre Dame and meet at the Smoky City, 'Feb. 18.* That is one game we almost would pay to see. The Pittsburghers are as tough as they are made and probably the best in the East. And Notre Dame isn’t very far from being the class in the MidWest. We imagine the Irish will be well satisfied as long as the Pittsburgh five refrains from pulling any of this Dick Merriwell stuff. The Easterners’ games with the Big Ten clubs recently all resembled more or less the wind-up chapters of a dime sports novel. tt a UP AND AT ’EM, BOYS!

Kings of Sport to Be Feted Tonight
Gene Tunney and Babe Ruth Head List of Champions. JONES CLOSE BEHIND Tilden, Weismuller, Milburn Also to Attend. BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Jan. 4.—Fashionable amateurs will mingle indiscriminately with professionals here tonight when the “600 millionaires” of Madison Square Garden assemble to banquet the stand-out characters in American sports. This list includes Tunney the fighter, Ruth the swatter, Jones the golfer, Tilden the tenniser, Milbur the polo genius, Weissmuller the swimmer, Cook the ice hockeyist and the victorious cycle team of Winters and Spencer. Asa dollar collector Mr. Gene Tunney, of course, tops the list of the millionaires’ guests. He is sport’s first million-dollar performer. Which is to say, that when you want his services you must lay one million smackers on the line. This is serious money. On the theory a performer is worth a sizable percentage of the money he attracts, Mr. Tunney is not overpaid. He is the heavyweight champion of the world and the heavyweight champions, from Sullivan’s time on down, always have drawn the big gates. Still, compared to Mr. George Herman Ruth, who makes only $70,000 and plays in 154 regularly scheduled games and at least 25 exhibition games including the spring training activities, Mr. Tunney is lavishly overpaid. The answer is not hard to find. There is a marked difference in the professions of the two. All Mr. Tunney needs to put on a battle of the century is someone to fight him. Mr. Ruth can not put on a home run show unless he is surrounded by two full ball clubs. Tunney and Ruth are the two biggest figures in professional sports. Sitting with them tonight will be Bobby Jones and Bill Tilden, the two biggest figures in amateur sports. If Jones were to turn professional it is likely he could make as much as Ruth. It would not be hard for him to get a $50,000 contract with one of these modern-type clubs that go in for stock selling and quick membership lists. In addition he could make something like $75,000 playing exhibition matches. 4 Tilden on the other hand would have a hard time marketing his genius. Professional tennis is not a monetary success and the position of club instructor pays little.

Hoosiers Shine With Wildcats B’/Times Hue rial EVANSTON, 111., Jan. 4.—Two Indiana youths, Russell (Rut) Walter of Kokomo and Ralph Mehler, of Gary, are members of the Northwestren University basketball squad which is expected to make a strong showing in the Big Ten this season. The Purple opens the season against the formidable Michigan five here Saturday night. Walter especially has demonstrated unusual ability at the center position which he is playing regularly. The prowess which enabled him to win the All-State center berth while playing with Kokomo seems to be standing up in good stead. Walter’s great performances while a student at Kokomo High School seem destined to be repeated during his career at Northwestern judging from the auspicious start he has had in basketball. Muncie Trounces Chicago ‘Y f Five Bu Times Soecial MUNCIE, Ind., Jan. 4.—The Chicago Y. M. C. A. basket five was no match for the strong Muncie Normal quintet here Tuesday night and the Ball Teachers walked off with an easy victory, 44 to 19. The Teachers flashed into an early lead and never were headed. Joris led the local attack with eight field goals. Harper tossed in five from the field while Scholler and Shively added three each. Larue, center, was best for the visitors. BOB’S THUMB IS 0. K. O’Farrell Reports to Card Officials That Operation Is Successful By United Press ST.

Wilbur Cummins
There's a fond nope nestling with Wilbur Cummins, Purdue basketball star, that he will lead the Big Ten point makers again this year. He did so last year while playing center for the Boilermakers. Cummins probably will be used at forward to allow Murphy to perform at center.
