Butler Five Faces Stiff Opposition Tonight in Tilt With Missouri

Eddie Shea to Show in Armory Ring Chicago Featherweight to Meet French Boxer Here Next Tuesday Night. Eddie Shea comes to the Armory next Tuesday night to meet Jimmie Boord of France in the tenround feature scrap, it was announced today by Major Greene, legion matchmaker. Sjiea, who is fighting in the main event at the Chicago Coliseum this week, appeared here earlier in the season and beat Frankie Garcia in a fast battle. Jimmie Boorde of Bordeaux, France, first came into prominence as a member of the French Olympic boxing team, when he amassed the greatest number of points in the great international amateur fistic contests of any entrant. He is said to have a cleancut win to his credit over Andre Routis, the present titleholder. In his match here with Shea Boorde insisted the weight be placed at 128 pounds, as he does not wish to “make weight” for so strong a boy as the stockyards pride. A stablemate of Shea also will appear on next Tuesday night’s card. Harry Fierro again having been matched with Johnny Nasser of Terre Haute. These two clashed in the legion ring on Nov. 13, with Nasser taking the edge. They will meet in the eight-round semiwindup.

Tex Rickard Booted One When He Picked Stribling Asa ‘Stand-Out’ So Opines Henry Farrell: Jack Dempsey No Sucker and Gets Tongue-Tied About Atlantan.

BY HENRY L. FARRELL, NEA and Timcvi Sports Writer CLEVELAND, Jan. 3.—Tex Rickard may have kicked one when he rushed to Willie Stribling with one of those long pieces of paper and '*■>- volved himself to promote three fights in which the young southerner was to be one of the fighters. Stribling, at the time of the signing, was one of the young men with possibilities. He seemed to have possibilities, because he seemed to be young enough and strong enough to stand up while the other tramps were falling down under their own weight. Before he had annexed Stribling, Uickard had acquired Knute Hansen on one of those sheets that gave him exclusive rights to his services,

They knew a popular little spot on 145th street near Broadway. ... It was a little hole in the wall joint where a young singing chef made a mean hamburger plastered with onions and pickles. . . .

Feature Basket Attraction at Field House to Start at 8. VISITORS RATED HIGH Bulldogs in Good Shape for Fracas. The Butler university basketball team will face one of the strongest teams in the nation tonight at the Bulldog field house at 8 p. m. when they tackle the powerful university of Missouri quintet. The western team is considered the paramount feature for miles around Columbia, Mo., the hailing point of the squad and the Tigers boast an enviable record against other strong outfits. The Missouri team arrived in Indianapolis this morning. The Tigers will leave here early Friday for. Bloomington, where they play the Indiana university team Friday night. > Although Coach Paul Hinkle of Butler has not announced his starting lineup, it is expected he will use White and Chandler at forwards; Hildebrand at center; Gugg and Hosier, guards. Christopher also is expected to see action tonight. The Bulldogs are in good condition following their victory Tuesday night over the university of North Carolina. The Butler-Mis-souri tilt is the toughest fray listed here since the blue and white’s tangle with the Purdue five. The game tonight will not be broadcast and no preliminary game will be staged. The field house seats over 14,000 persons and plenty cf tickets will be available at game time, according to Butler officials.

but Hansen, never a very ambitious fellow, didn’t do his part in seconding Rickard’s motions that he was the greatest young heavyweight in the country. Rickard quit talking about Hansen then and turned his oratory in the directibn of Stribling. Jack Is No Sucker Jack Dempsey strung right along with Rickard in saying Hansen was a great prospect and one of the very best contenders for the title, but when the time arrived for him to say the same thing about Striblilig he suddenly lost his voice. Dempsey told one of his friends in Los Angeles he was willing to "yes" Rickard on anything that would do the old fellow some good, but that he wasn't going to make a sucker out of himself by saying Stribling ever was going to be a fighter. Customers around New York have seen too much of Stribling to be fooled into the idea that he has become a great prospect for the heavyweight championship in such a short time. In fact they have reasons to believe Stribling isn’t any better to look at than he was years ago when he was pretty awful. Tex Not Baffled With New York gone Rickard had to look around for another spot, and he wasn't entirely baffled. He picked on Miami. Rickard has become a sort of citizen of Miami, and the commercial club couldn’t complain that a total stranger was taking away all that dough if he staged the fight there. Stribling also is a sort of citizen of Miami and the customers down in that territory haven’t seen much big league boxing, and their loyalty to a fellow' lodge brother and home town boy may persuade them to attend in large numbers. It probably will be a terrible fight. Stribling never made a good fight in his life when there was something riding on it. And Sharkey has about ten bad ones between the good ones. And the contest probably will end with both of the big shots. Tex has been plugging eliminating themselves right out of the picture.

Os all the befuddled, peculiar measures taken by the national rules’ committee the one on the "held ball” takes a twenty-five pound fruit cake. Indiana officials are confused and bewildered and Mr. Arthur L. Trester of the I. H. S. A. A. is endeavoring to take steps to have the calling of held balls unified in this state. One official toots his whistle and calls for a jump as soon as a defensive player gets three feet away from a man holding the ball and another merely waits until each man has a hand on the ball. Mr. Trester or any officials of other state associations would need have no worries over any rules if the rules’ committee actually would interpret a rule so that it could be understood by any one. tt n e The national rules committee makes no bones about the fact they want to eliminate stalling.

help carry Riegels through the difficult period when memory of his blunder still is poignant. Nothing Like It Search of football annals has failed to reveal a similar play in major college circles. It '•ccurred in the second period, with the score, 0 to 0, and proved the turning point of a desperately contested game. Stumpy Thomason, chunkjr back of Georgia Tech, fumbled on his own 25-yard line, and Riegels, who had been badly battered in line plays opposite the mighty Peter Pund, seized the ball and started across the field. "I looked around, saw some goal posts and made for them,” he explained afterwards, scorning any one of a number of obvious alibis. The trouble was that Riegels, in the excitement of finding himself free with the ball, saw the wrong goal posts. He ran seventy yards or more towards his own goal, and was stopped at the goal line, too late to remedy his mistake. The Will to Win There was once a Northwestern captain who tackled one of his own men, and instances of football players carrying on for a number of plays entirely unconscious of their actions, but driven by the will to win are numerous in gridiron history. After all, that is what Riegels was doing. He had the-will to win, and he was off, on bruised legs, with labored, aching lungs, to run as fast and as far as he could and score for California. That he ran in the wrong direction has nothing to do with his intentions or his courage. It emphasizes them, for the battering he had received undoubtedly had temporarily cost him a clear conception of just what he was doing.
