Talking It OVER

WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Jan. 28.—Within another twenty four hours, Prof. William Gibson who, is what might be called the companionate manager of Mr. Gene Tunney, will

be on that midnight choo-choo headed for Miami Beach and its spiritual environs. The professor will reach the southern resort on Feb. 1. This happens, by happy coincidence, to be the same date on which Tex Rickard is obligated to name the opponent whom Mr.

Williams

Tunney will face in his first fight of the current year. By the laws of the New York Commission a manager must sign the papers in order to make them legally acceptable. The professor’s appearanace in Miami on the day of the Rickardian show-down obviously means Mr. Tunney is to defend his title here. Not that this comes under the head of giddy surprises. 8 tt tt Whom he will fight is a hose of another The professor confesses he doesn’t know any more about it than you or your Uncle Bertram. In these details the professor’s influence is limited, if not actually non-existent. a tt tt "B.fl'R. TUNNEY does the managing, the fighting and the circling for the enterprise. The professor’s contributions are largely atmospheric. His duties seem to consist of talking down to the level of the low characters who infest the business. Somebody has to be around to do that, v The professor is one of those unchanging individuals capable of talking down to the level of an animated wart. Although maintaining associations with some of the most boisterous and gaudiest families in Westchester the professor never has taken up refinement in a serious way. The only subejct in connection with Mr. Tunney’s future on which the professor is disposed to speak officially concerns the fallen arches and stumble bums who are trying to catch up with the elegant cham* pion and swing a nondescript fist at him. tt n n • I And even on this inoffensive subject he is not so sure of his ground.. Privately, he inclines to the belief that Tunney’s first opponent will be Jack Sharkey. This depending on how the Boston man comes through his test with John Risko. n tt a SOMEHOW the professor is not so sure about this Risko fellow. ”He’s liable to ruin anybody. He’s a menace.” The professor never has had any use for menaces. For years he used to consider Harry Wills, the saw-dust-stuffed Brown panther, a menace, and a downright serious one. I was with the professor when he talked to Sharkey back in the sailor’s dressing room the night he fought Wills. The professor’s concern was very great. A,s matters turned out the professor's uneasiness was without legitimate cause because Wills had gone back so far that anybody with a stern frown and a slight, hacking cough could have taken him or left him, in the order named. What probably causes the professor to look upon Risko as a menace is the fact that the Cleveland baker proved such an adamant quantity against Tunney nine months before the first Dempsey fight that a number of humane souls were moved to protest against holding the championship match. tt tt tt While Tunney won easily enough, in so doing he busted two hands on the Risko ear rack, or noodle, as the dome sometimes is * called.

Four City H.S.Net Teams to See Action in Tonight's Games

Purdue Net Stars Turn to Studies Exams Oocupy Attention of Boilermaker Basket Performers. Bn Times Special LAFAYETTE, Ind., Jan. 28.—Figuratively panting from the exertion of a thrilling 28 to 25 victory over Indiana, by which they maintained the lead in the Big Ten basketball race, members of Coach Ward Lambert’s Purdue basketball squad have pushed basketball as far from their minds as possible, and are delving Into textbooks in preparation for the annual mid-semester examinations. The squad will play its next game Feb. 6, with Franklin, in Memorial gymnasium, and will jump back into the Big Ten basketball in a game with Michigan at Ann Xrbor, Feb. 11. Between this date and Feb. 27 the Boilermakers have seven games scheduled, three of them away from home. This extraordinary hard schedule seems Purdue’s greatest obstacle in the, flag chase. A development which has played a striking part in Purdue’s victories over lowa and Indiana is the defensive performance which has been exhibited. Lambert’s new defensive tactics, based upon the play of Schnaiter, a newcomer, and Kemmer, a veteran, have been thoroughly effective, and have not handicapped the offensive power of the quintet. Murphy, Harmeson and Captain Wheeler have completed Purdue’s unbeaten combination, and in the Crimson tilt Cummins, who replaced Wheeler, after the latter was injured, contributed greatly to Purdue’s offensive strength.

ANDERSON, Ind., Jan. 28.—This is the story of a comeback. It was remarkable for one thing, because it was a successful comeback and for another because it was one of the most remarkable reversals of form in one basektball game this correspondent ever has seen. It was enacted heie Friday night between Anderson and I agansport when Alva Staggs' local Indians came from far, far behind to topple Cliff Wells’ Loganberries, 37 to 34. tt a A capacity crowd of some 5,000 plus persons jammed into Anderson’s gym to witness the "battle of the State.” And that, strangely, was what it developed into. tt a a WOODS started the fireworks for Anderson with a field goal from -just outside the foul circle. Logansport's lenghty pivot man, McCarnes. began getting possession of the ball for his team. That old, old saying about “possession being nine points of the law” was working like a charm for the Berries and the visitors’ fast-breaking offense proved a source of grief for local fans during the initial half. In slightly more than ten minutes of play the Logan club had accumulated a lead of 13 to 2. u a The Indians bucked up and commenced giving the Berries

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Yankees With Lary and Reese, Look to Be Best for Years Bii SKA Service, NEW YORK, Jan. 28.—American League owners and aaanagers outside of New York get no thrill when they ponder over the strength of the champion Yankees and consider their chances of beating the great team that Miller Huggins has organized. The Yanks look like a cinch to repeat in 1928 and they may hold together for several more years. The Yankee owners admit

they own 120 ball players and have strings on eighty more. It is the shrewd policy of Huggins to prepare for v/ant in times of plenty that has made the Yankees the outstanding organization in the major leagues. Colonel Ruppert, owner of the club, recently paid $125,000 to the Oakland Pacific Coast League club for Lyn Lary and Jimmy Reese, who are said to be the flashiest second base combination in baseball. m With Tony Lazzeri and Mark Koenig doing very well at sec-

Lope and Bruce Lose Rating as Title Aspirants By United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 28. Lope Tenorio, the Filipino who came to New York widely-heralded as a promising contender for Sammy Mandell’s lightweight title, proved a disappointment Friday night to 13,419 fans who saw Bruce Flowers, dusky New Rochelle, N. Y., fighter, hold him to a draw. Much was expected of Tenorio because of recent victories over Stanislaus Loayza, once a prominent challenger for the 135-crown, and Joe Glick, the tough junior lightweight. The little brown man proved a willing fighter, but one absolutely devoid of punch.. He showed nothing in this fight to warrant being considered a likely opponent for the champion. Flowers himself had been coming on fast, but his policy of fighting two and three times a week seems to have taken a great deal of his punch and stamina. He fought only in streaks and was far from the aggressive fighter of several months back.

His five baskets from the field was high for the Butler team. While the eyes of the fans were focused on the little Butler basket sniper, a Danville performer, L. Reeves, was turning in an almost duplicate evening’s work, if not of a more all-around calibre. Danville got off into the lead with a foul shot and for five minutes the score stood at 1-0. Chadd snagged a long one, and Reeves retaliated for Danville. The lead seesawed until the close of the half. 22* before the gun Franklin dribbled down and brought the count to 15-13. Play at times in the second hall became listless as Butler presented a strong five-man defense and held possession of the leather much of the time. Danville was weak on long shots and failed to count on many short chances after working the ball to the hoop by good team work.
