Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.—Within the next several weeks you will, if you care to, hear of Ed (Strangler) Lewis on the mat with Gus Sonnenberg. the reformed football star, in one of those quaint little enterprises known as a wrestling match for the championship of the world. a a a Lewis and Sonnenberg have met on two previous occasions, with Lewis triumphing in the first and Sonnenberg In the second. Asa result of this even distribution of laurels a poignant situation has been created which makes it virtually compulsory for the two gentlemen to come together again in a third match. a a a THERE ARE SINISTER WHISPERINGS AFLOAT THAT LEWIS AND SONNENBERG ARRIVED AT THEIR PRESENT LINGERING STATE OF UNDETERMINED SUPERIORITY THROUGH THE FARSIGHTEDNESS OF A PROMOTIONAL GENIUS WITH VISIONS OF A REAWAKENED INTEREST IN THE GAME HERE AND A CAPACITY CROWD AT THE GARDEN. a a a ONE of the charming traits of your correspondent is his sublime faith in all characters identified with professional sports and when he is told it was nothing more than an interesting coincidence that Lewis should lose to Sonnenberg after having conquer'd him in an earlier match, he believes it. a a a Os course it is pertinent to inquire why any wrestling match should be conducted on strictly scrupulous lines in view of the generally accepted belief that the only interesting wrestling matches are the ones in which the result is agreed on before the biubbery boys waddle into the ring. a a a I MEAN TO SAY THAT IF THE PATRONS OF WRESTLING WANT THEIR MATCHES LOADED WITH MOCK ACROBATICS AND A SLIGHT TINCTURE OF LAMCENY IT WOULD SEEM A BIT IDIOTIC FOR THE PROMOTER TO GfVE THEM ANYTHING ELSE.

Indiana Squad Romps to Victory Over Minnesota Basket Outfit Bob Correll Closes Collegiate Career in Brilliant Manner; Strickland, McCracken Shine.

Bn Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Jan. 22. Indiana’s co-championship Big Ten team, far “past-due,” registered a victory here Monday night in decisive manner, walloping Minnesota, 41 to 22. It was a fitting close for Bob Correll's collegiate career. Playing his last contest in an Indiana uniform, last year’s captain played brilliantly in the first half, looping in three field goals and a pair of free throws in addition to playing the floor beautifully. Forced into an overtime period by the Gophers in a recent game, the Hoosiers outclassed the visiting Minnesota team at every turn, holding the upper hand at the half, 25 to 9. Veller replaced Correll in the last half and turned in a nice performance. Although not quite as large as Correll, Veller has plenty of speed and probably will fill in at the floor guard position. Strickland and McCracken accounted for the major portion of Indiana’s points, the former drop-

THE LIFE OF TEX RICKARD n a a nun Socially Prominent Attend Jersey Spectacle; Great Promoter Organizes Madison Square Garden Sporting Club; Fined for Fight Movies. CHAPTER XI

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY Vnitrd Press Stiff Correspondent (Copyright. 1929. by United Press) • THE Dempsey-Carpentier bout ushered in the golden era of boxing and was the forerunner to Rickard's subsequent $2,000,000 gate. Dempsey was guaranteed $300,000 for the Carpentier bout, but actually received half a million, his percentage swelling the figure. Carlin tier's sum of $200,000 as the loser was larger than any other single purse received by a boxer up to that time. Besides the financial angle, the Dempsey-Carpentier bout was notable for the fact that it attracted the socially prominent to a prize fight in large numbers for the first time. It was the first large cosmopolitan fight crowd, in which millionaires rubbed elbows with the rank and file of boxing followers. Trouble Over Movies Shortly after the DempseyCarpentier bout Rickard got into trouble with the government over the transportation of the moving pictures of the fight from New Jersey to New York. Despite a warning from the government, the films were shown in Broadway movie houses. The case dragged through the courts, but Rickard was finally convicted and fined $7,000. In August. 1920. the New York state legislature passed the Walker boxing bill, allowing decisions and fifteen round bouts in New' York state. Rickard’s influence was instrumental in the passage of the bill legalizing boxing in New York *tate. Takes Over Garden Rickard took hold of the old Madison Square Garden July 13, 1920, and on Aug. 4 organized the Madison Square Garden Sporting Club. Thirteer days later the first decision contest was held in New York slate after a lapse of almost twenty years. He did not attempt to promote any big bouts in the old Garden, but he succeeded in placing the business on a paying basis for the first time in years. After the Dempsey-Carpentier bout Rickard saw that there, was no on* for Dempsey ts fight and he

The Badgers outplayed the Boilermakers and sank thirteen of fifteen free throws as a material aid to the victory. The Wisconsin victory allowed Michigan to assume undisputed possession of first place in the conference standing. Until Monday night Purdue was first with five games won and none lost, but Michigan has won four and lost none. Asa result, Purdue and Wisconsin go into a tie for second place in the standings, each with five won and one lost. In the other game Monday night, Indiana experienced Bttle trouble winning from Minnesota, 41-22. The Gophers were outclassed completely. Because of mid-year examinations, activities in the conference will be nalted almost completely during the next two weeks. Only two conference games will be played during that time. The much-defeated Chicago team plays in both. The Maroons go to Columbus to meet Ohio next Saturday and Play lowa in Chicago the following Saturday.

began looking around for another opponeent to pit against the champion in the “Second battle of the century.” Firpo Brought Out About this time he saw the crude South American, Luis Firpo, in action and he immediately began laying his plans to smoke up Firpo for a bout with Dempsey. “There’s a fellow who’d draw another million-dollar gate if I could get him in the ring with Dempsey,” Rickard said. It was during the period between the “Battle of the Century” and the Dempsey-Firpo fight that Tex Rickard achieved general recognition as the greatest of modem promoters. During the two years that intervened between those epic fights. Tex was constantly in the limelight, recognized now as dictator by the pugilistic fraternity but still to win financial backing which a little later was to make him a millionaire as well. The development of another opponent for Jack Dempsey was Rickard’s chief concern during the year 1922. The big South American. Luis Angel Firpo. having been decided upon, the problem then became twofold. Set-ups for Opponents Firpo had to be “bally-hooed” as no heavyweight contender save Carpentier ever had .been, and he had to be brought along carefully with a skillful selection of opponents. so that he might not accidentally be knocked as flat as his native pampas. “The Wild Bull,” a towering, unkempt, shaggy-haired creature, swept aside all the chosen opponents with a wave of his mighty right hand. Firpo's tactics were to rush grimacing from his comer and hurl his whole tremendous bulk upon his opponent behind a crushing right hand blow. It was obvious that the South American was what is known in ring parlance as “a sucker for a left hook.” But Tex saw to it that the skilled left-hookers were kept well away from Firpo. whose awkwardness and lack of defense were minimized by the “ballyhoo” artists, who played up the savage, destructive rush of “The Wild Bull of the

The first annual classic of the Capitol alleys which will be rolled on the West Market Street drives Sunday, Feb. 3, has attracted the attention of the stars of the state and a large out-of-town entry will help swell the entry turned In by the local speed boys.. This meet will come at a time when practically all bowlers, who intend to take in the A. B. C. meet at Chicago, need actual tournament practice and they intend to take advantage of it. The entry fee is $lO per team in the doubles and $5 per man in the singles. The dead line for entries wil be midnight Feb. 2.

and it really looked as if Indiana beat Purdue—Monday night. In other words the tough game with the Hoosiers Saturday night took too much out of the Boilermakers and they did not have enough left to stand off the magnificent drive of the great Badger squad. Bye, Bye Free Throws Both teams registered nine goals from the field during the encounter at the Jeff gym, but while Wisconsin was sinking thirteen of fifteen free throws Purdue was missing ten of eighteen at the charity line. There’s your ball game. Piggy Lambert, Purdue’s basketballing boss, started a freak lineup and Harmeson, Cummins and Sleight quickly took a 5-to-l lead for the Boilermakers. The Purdues ran it up to 10, but the elongated Tenhopen, a great basketballer if there ever was one, started firing away. _ Tenhopen's three field goals and two free throws by Foster tied the count at 11 as Cummins also dropped in a free throw. The modest young Kowalczyk added two free throws and promptly appealed for time out, got it, and raced off the floor to perform the rapidchange act—out of sight. Kowalczyk trotted back on the floor attired in anew pair of white pants, for basketball players also are modest when wearing apparel gives away. >. Ahead at Half Four free throws, two by Kowalczyk and two by Foster boosted the Badger’s total to 15 as Murphy tossed in two free throws to make the count, 15 to 13, as the half ended.

Wisconsin rushed the score to 18 at the resumption of play but Harmeson’s two rapid fire field goals and a free throw tied the count and Schnaiter sent the home boys into a short-lived 20-to-18 lead. The Badgers got bold and bad once again and boosted the count to 25 to 20, never to be threatened again. Purdue took 74 shots during the encounter, tallying nine field goals for an average of 108. Wisconsin’s 57 attempts netted nine buckets, an average of .136.
