of means. In fact, plenty of means, and Old Tris is in a choice spot. As manager of the Newark Bears, the former brilliant outfielder and heavy hitter is gathering together a promising outfit that is likely to get some place in the International League. And Newark is a whale

Close Struggle for Big Ten Net Crown Looms as Teams Get Set

A1 De Rose Battles Cox Here Friday \ Rivals Rematched at Cadle; Griffiths and Doris in Main Go. A1 De Rose, Newark (N. J.) featherweight and Tracy Cox, touted as the “class” of local mitt tossers in that division, will meet over eight rounds as the semi-windup on the Cadle tabernacle boxing card Friday night. Promoter Richardson rematched the two scrappers today. Cox and De Rose were on the tabernacle program last Thursday, an unintentional foul delivered by the eastern battler in the fifth round halting what promised to be a real scrap. The local boxer had an edge on De Rose when the bout was stopped. The Cox-De Rose eight rounder will be the chief supporting attraction to the scheduled main go of ten rounds between Chuck Doris, Michigan light heavyweight, and Tuffy Griffiths, classy Chicago mitt tosser. Tuffy has k. o. triumphs over Mike McTigue, K. O. White, Joe Anderson, Jackie Williams, Jimmy Mahoney, Del Fountaine and others.

To Lead Bulldogs Against Danville Next Friday

' ' ’ ■■ ■

Captain Frank White BUTLER’S basketball squad, boasting two victories over a pair of the nation’s strongest hardwood teams, today was pointing for its third game of the season next Friday at the Bulldog fieldhouse against Danville Normal, a sturdy, scrappy outfit of netmen. Butler’s opening game of the season resulted in a 35-to-33 victory over Pittsburgh, and the game last Friday proved a 28-to-27 triumph over the great Purdue team after a terrific battle. The work of Captain Frank White during the second half of the contest against Purdue was one of the features of the great struggle. White hooped four field goals through the meshes in the last half when Butler came from behind to win.

The Backboard xTiw,. ~ Jnim With e-si -= The Times Sports Staff In Wishing You A Very Merry Christmas

INDIANA'S huge horde of basketball experts today were striving to acclimate themselves to the change in the ratings of the State’s teams,, both college and high school. Purdue had been regarded as the greatest squad in Hoosierdom and there are thousands of persons who still believe that true. Butler, however, holds a 28 to 27 victory over the Boilermakers and there are arguments both pro and can as to which is the better team. Granting the fact Purdue played more than thirty minutes of the game without the services of the brilliant Glen Harmeson, Butler pulls forth evidence to prove that Bulldogs went on for almost that length of time minus a regular center, after Hildebrand had fouled himself out of the contest in rapid-fire time. Problematical arguments based on “if” propositions won’t work and “to the victor belongs the spoils.” And so, when the boys start rating their teams this week they are forced to make it thus: (1) Butler, (2) Purdue, (3) Indiana. (4) Notre Dame. That’s your “big four” and there’s a possibility De Pauw might crash through into the select list this year and make it a five-way proposition. tt tt tt TN high school circles the feature -*■ was Logansport’s triumph over Martinsville. Martinsville has been listed as one of Indiana’s three best teams while Logansport was suffering from the effects of one bad week-end when Newcastle and Vincennes walked off with the bacon. The Berries’ fine showing merely goes to reveal that some of the greatest teams in Hoosierdom are not playing consistent basketball. Here’s Backboard’s list of the state twelve best in high school circles’ Bedford Columbus Martinsville Muncie Logansport Newcastle Technical Anderson Horace Mann Greencastle (Gary) Rushville Crawfordsville Vincennes Seymour it tt tt PERHAPS THAT ANSWERS “DUNELAND DRIBBLES’’ UP IN GARY. WHO REMARKED THAT BACKBOARD THOUGHT NORTHERN INDIANA WAS A PART OF ILLINOIS. tt tt tt Technical had little difficulty in taking a 35-to-20 triumph from Manual. Backboard is convinced Technical has plenty of class. The Arsenalites displayed nothing wonderful in Saturday night’s encounter and at times a reserve team occupied the floor battling the Manualites. The showing of the south side lads, however, surprised us not a little and there isn’t much doubt but that the fighting spirit of the red and white will overcome many an obstacle this season. Right now Manual should rate as the city’s number two team, regardless of their size. There is plenty of “punch” in that outfit. tt tt Down in the southern end of the state the fans are patiently waiting for Jan. 1 to roll around That’s the night Columbus and Bedford scramble at Columbus and it should be a battle royal between the two undefeated fives.

Hudkins has been training almost continuously since the fight first was announced, and appeared to be in fine condition at his Saturday workout. Devos’ neck has healed completely and he, too, appears to be in shape for a hard fight. Early betting made the European champion 8 to 5 favorite, and the majority of critics seem to think he can dispose of Hudkins. Hudkins, however, fairly radiates confidence and loudly proclaims his sympathy for Anthony J. Drexel Biddle Jr., who recently purchased an interest in Devos.

Warner is expected to be on hand to lead a serious drive for recognition of the first down as a scor ing asset.
