Off the * I Backboard *—By Norman E. Isaacs—

INDIANA is “in” as far as this Big Ten race is concerned and the Crimson are certain of at least a tie for the Conference cage title. Now its is up to Purdue's Boiler -

makers to throw this thing into a (tie which can be done by knocking off Minnesota Saturday night at Minneapolis. The way the Gophers have been acting up this season knocking them off shouldn’t be a very hard job—for Purdue, at any

rate. Capt. Babe Wheeler, who probably figures his team “gypped” out of an undisputed claim to the toga because of a couple of untimely defeats, intends to do “things up brown” in Saturday night's battle by making it an “all-Hoosier” affair by romping over Minesota. And what could be nicer for the State? tt tt tt ONLY the other evening at the new Butler Field House when the Bulldogs downed Notre Dame, 21 to 13, the young man in the inset was playing, to use the words of the boys on the comer, man happens to be . Maurice Hosier, a ' 'yfa&mSM . from Spiceland. We YjMk jf for the fact that i|f§Mp Maurice played a fPjtpß whale of a ball lyaßSak m game and looked guard against Notre wMBMBBHI Dame as Scheid of Indiana or Krern- Hosier mer of Purdue, who happen to be as good as any guards in the Middle West. He's a fighting Hoosier is this Hosier—take it from us! SATURDAY afternoon and evening four teams will battle in each of sixteen regional centers for the honor of becoming one of the “sixteen best” to compete in the State finals meet at the Butler Field House a week from today and Saturday. Here is how the complete proposition looks at a glance. We have lined up the State finals draw with the name of the prospective regional winner as the finalist in each case: FRIDAY, MARCH 16 9 A. M. —Grcencastle vs. Central (Ft. Wayne). 10 A. M.—Kendallville vs. Bedford. 11 A. M.—Sharpsville vs. Anderson. 2 P. M. —Central (Evansville) vs. Muncie. 3 P. M. —Rochester vs. Martinsville. 4 P. M.—Washington vs. Columbus. 7:30 P. M.—Frankfort vs. Washington (E. Chicago). 8:30 P. M.—Connersville vs. I.ogansport. SATURDAY, MARCH 17 Second Round 8:30 A. M.—Central (Ft. Wayne) vs. Bedford. 9:30 A. M.—Anderson vs. Muncie. 10:30 A. M.—Martinsville vs. Washington. 11:30 A. M.—Frankfort vs. Logansport. Semi-Finals 3:30 P. M.—Bedford vs. Muncie. 3:30 P. M.—Martinsville vs. Logansport. Final 8 P. M.—Muncie vs. Martinsville. n tt tt “D. C. D.” wants to know how we’d pick an all-State team. Although this “All-Selection” stuff isn’t in our line we are going to take a fling and put Mister Charley Murphy of Purdue at center, Messrs. Dale Wells of Indiana and Fulmer of Muncie at forwards, and Mister Clarence Christopher of Butler at guard, along with Mister Clarence Donovan of Notre Dame. How’s that? Enough to make any coach smile at any rate. ttnn “ ‘There’s no end of my love for you'—Martinsville.” (With apologies to Dick Powell, of course.)

Critic Picks Jack to Win by Knockout Getty Believes Sharkey Wilf Put Risko Away Monday Night. BY FRANK GETTY United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK. March 9.—Jack Sharkey, splendidly trained at 190 pounds, should win by a knockout over Johnny Risko next Mondaff night. The Lithuanian has a r€..l good fight somewhere in his system, and there is no reason why he should rot deliver it when he meets the rotund Cleveland heavyweight. Risko, after a period of compara* tive inactivity, does not shape up as Sharkey’s equal in his New York training. Slow of foot and fist with only the indomitable grit of a bulldog to carry him through, Johnny should be comparatively easy for Jack. It is true that Risko has been knocked out but once during a fairly active if brief career, and then it was Chuck Wiggins, of Indianapolis, who delivered the coup de grace. It is equally true that Sharkey’s knockout record is not impressive. Nevertheless, the Lithuanian, with every advantage of size, speed, boxing skill and backing, should be able to stop the former Baker's boy within the limit of fifteen rounds.
