Talking' It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. Dec. 31—It Is with no little disappointment that in reading the exhaustive reviews of the sports year, which fill the current editions of many of the metropolitan newspapers, I find no mention of some of the most interesting developments of 1929. Perhaps it is true that the reader cares only to be reminded that the

Athletics won the world series, that Clyde Van Dusen won the Kentucky Derby, that Mr. William Tilden. the twice, regained the national tennis c h a m p 1 onship and that Mickey Walker had another lucrative year at the box office. Still It strikes me that certain piquant details

Loughran

necessary to completeness have been ignored wantonly. Tommy Loughran, the prize fighter, made a certain sort of history which was not recorded for posterity in the annual reviews. It will be recalled that Loughran turned his back on the light heavyweights and ventured forth in the bigger and beefier division to try his skill against Jack Sharkey, the Boston heavyweight. IT WAS PREDICTED GENERALLY THAT LOUGHRAN WOULD BE A SENSATION IN THIS FIELD, A PREDICTION IN WHICH THE GENTLEMAN HIMSELF CONCURRED WITHOUT RESERVATIONS. a a a Uousrhran was not exactly a sensation, bn* to his credit must be said that be contributed something quite unusual and distinctive to boxing lore when, upon i being smacked on the ehin with uncommon violence, he turned to the referee and mumbled: “tVait a minute. T want to sit down and try to find out where I am at.’’ WHILE this was *not the first time a prize fighter ever violated the chaste Addisonian principles of English it was a radical departure from the routine usually employed in such circumstances. So far as is known Loughran remains the first prize fighter to call time out in the midst of a blazing exchange of fists on the ground that his noodle had become addled and It was imperative that he be permitted to retire to his boudior to decide on a campaign of further action. tt a My memory of the incident Is that loughran was scored roundly, not so much because of his precipianta sur - render as his pretentions to mental depths. It appears that the ring customers have not been educated yet to a point where they unhesitatingly accept a prlie fighter who claims to be able to think.

Evils of Fo[ fall Are Few, Opinion of Leading Coaches Bill Alexander Believes Too Much Publicity Is Given Winning Teams: Kipke Flays Interest in ‘Scandal.’

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 31.—The evils of football are few and are being corrected rapidly, in the opinion of leading coaches attending the American Football Coaches’ Association meeting who were polled by the United Press today. Only four of the ten coaches, representative of all sections of the country, found anything particularly wrong. W. A. Alexander of Georgia Tech, who succeeds Hugo Bezdek of Penn State as president of the coaches’ asociation, said he believed the greatest evil resulted from the mass of publicity a winning team received. “Where the players, coach and team have a successful year, .the publicity is apt to turn their heads,” he said, ’’and make defeat, when it comes, more bitter to take.” Harry Kipke of Michigan thinks that the tremendous interest taken in football by the public has influenced the newspapers to overemphasize scandal in the game Wabash in Top Trim Little Giants Prepare for Encounter * With State Normal. !/ Ttm< $ Rnvciql „ _ CRAWFORDSVILLE.

BUTLtK SET FOR GAMES WITH ILLINOIS, CHICAGO

Nebraska Loses to Bulldogs Hinkle Quintet Reveals Superiority Over Husker Squad. BY VERN BOXELL Their record enhanced by another impressivee victory over an intersectional foe, Butlers Bulldogs today started the important business of preparing for the invasion of two Western Conference foes. Illinois, one of the dark horses of the present campaign, will be seen at the fieldhouse Thursday night, and Chicago, one of the two teams to upset Tony Hinkle’s national champions, last season, comes here Saturday. Although free throws provided the victory margin of the Hinklemen over Nebraska in their 38-to-26 triumph Monday night, the superiority of the locals was in doubt only once. At the outset of the game the Huskers assumed a two-point lead, but the Bulldogs were in front, 10 to 2, with six minutes played, and increased their advantage to 21 to 3 at half time. Nebraska rallied at the start of the second period, and pulled within five points of the Hinklemen. The offensive combination of Allen, Christopher and Hildebrand flashed some fine passing to make the Butler margin secure, and they coasted through the last five minutes, with reserves finishing the contest. Lewandowskl and Witte, husky guards, were the outstanding performers on the- western quintet. Grace led the Husker scorers, while Fisher displayed some excellent floor work. The floor work of Hosier, and the flashy and accurately-timed passing of Allen, Christopher and Hildebrand, carried Butler to victory. Hildebrand .'ed the local scorers. Both quintets scored twelve field goals, the Bulldogs connecting on fourteen tosses from the gratis line, and the Huskers twice.

Bv United Pres* CHAMPAIGN, 111., Dec. 31.—Paul Prehn, former chairman of the Illinois boxing commission and former president of the National Boxing Association, and Miss Alyene Westall, Janesville, Wis., were married at 10 a. m. today in the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority house. Miss Westall was graduated from the University of Illinois in 1927. The couple left for a month’s honeymoon in Florida.

when they find it, as was the case of lowa, Outside influence is responsible for one of the biggest evils of the game if the opinion of Harry Stuhldreher, member of Notre Dame’s famous “four horsemen” and Villanova Coach. “Winning teaches the players to meet adversity in life and fight to conquer it,” said Stuhldreher, “but those who demand too much of a coach contribute a bad influence to the game.”

S RACKBOARD I 111, AUF BY VERN BOXELL

THOSE who exacted Butler to have an easy time with the Nebraska Comhuskers at the field house Monday night, were disappointed. Twelve points separated the intersectional foes, but they were all scored on free throws. Although each quintet scored twelve field goals, the Bulldogs’ superiority was in doubt only once. The fact that the Huskers were forced to foul Messrs. Allen, Christopher and Hildebrand, the Butler offensive aces, in an attempt to stop them, is proof enough of the advantage held by the locals. 0 0 0 The Huskers gave the cleverest exhibition of handling the ball seen on the Butler floor this season. Against a weaker defense they may pull some surprises as they did on the Bulldogs when they let down temporarily. o*o Grace, whose five field goals Indicate that he knows something about basketball, won the disfavor of the crowd by his cocky attitude, continual complaining to the officials, rough, tactics and clownish antics. o*o Backboard’s pick average came up to .750 Monday, w'hen Butler and Purdue won. 000 New Albany provided somewhat of an upset Monday night by taking Bedford Into camp, 29 to 28. A last half rally after the Stonecutters had led 16 to 14 at the half, turned the trick. 000 DELPHI, one of the best smallschool teams in the state, which provided many coaches of the so-called top-notch quintets with heartaches last season, will play Kokomo tonight. The Wildcats have been on the down trail for the past few games, and barely were able to nose out the none-too-strong Tipton quintet last Saturday, while Lostutter has his Oracles in full stride. Perigo, one of the best centers in the state, and Captain Moore, high scoring floor guard, are outstanding performers for Delphi. We’ll string along with Kokomo, however. # # # Frankfort should Increase Its lead In the Big Ten by taking Lebanon tonlrht. ShelbyviDe also looks good over Greenfield. Purdue nhould take Montana, and Northwestern probably will repeat at the expepse of Notre Dame. This Wild-eat-Irish battle has the ear marks of a classic.

Trojans Outweigh Pitt Team Small blit Mighty Panther Eleven Ready for Classic Clash. BY' GEORGE H. BEALE. United Press Staff Correspondent PASADENA. Cal., Dec. 31.—The Pitt Panther may be small, but he i is mighty. That observation came from all sides today, on the eve of the Tournament of Roses football classic Wednesday between the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Southern California. Two poaches, one of whom taught the other to play football years ago, summed it up thus: “That’s a small team you have, Jock.’’ “Yes, Pop, it’s a small team, but it’s a good one.” The first speaker was Pop Warner, now coach at Stanford. The second was Jock Sutherland, the Panther mentor. Warner once coached at Pitt and taught Sutherland enough grid sagacity to make him an all-American. Pitt’s athletes do not appear to be midgets, but they w r ere not cast along the generous mold of their west coast opponents. Ordinarily the size of the Pitt squad alone would have caused natives to make them short-enders against Southern California, but the Panthers’ record and the determined Sutherland’s “it’s a good one,” kept the betting even up. The difference is shown in the weight statistics and in most any starting combination Southern California will outweight Pitt on an average of from ten to twelve pounds per man. The probable starting lineup shows the weights. CALIFORNIA PITTSBURGH 163 Tappaan ....R. E.L Collins 175 215 Hall R. T.L.... Macmurdo 185 200 Barrag'r (C) R. G.

Boxing Hit Hard in ’29 Campaign Many Thrills Are Recorded in Sports Circles During Year. BY WILLIAM BRAUCHER. NEA Service Snorts Editor 'T'HE old year in sport is dying. Battles of the diamond, the ring and the gridiron have been fought and the records written. Boxing suffered during the year. Gene Tunney retiled as heavyweight champion toward the end of 1928, making this sports review the sec-

ond that has been written without a heavyweight champion to dote upon. The sport also lost one of its best friends in Tox Rickard, who died when th& year was young during the promotion of his battle between Jack Sharkey and Young Stribling in Florida.

There have been thrilling and eventful moments in the world of sport during the year that is passing, however. Here are a few taken at random from all branches of sport: Few of Memories The sensational victories of the Philadelphia Athletics over the Chicago Cubs, four games to one. Lefty O'Doul’s blazing away to National League batting supremacy with a mark of .398, after McGraw had traded him down the river to Philadelphia. Babe Ruth’s marriage to Claire Hodgson and his home run the first time at bat on the day of his wedding. Jack Sharkey’s right hand crashing against the chin of Tommy Loughran, knocking out the Philadelphia battler in his first engagement as a heavyweight. The death of Miller Huggins during his important job of rebuilding the failing Yanks. Jones Meets Defeat The defeat of the world’s greatest golfer, Bobby Jones, by young Johnny Goodman of Omaha in the first round of the national amateur tournament at Pebble Beach, and .Tores’ smaslrng victory over AI Espinosa in the open. Clyde Van Dusen’s powerful race through the mud and rain at Churchill Downs to win the Kentucky derby.

Orval Martin, Purdue, won recognition as one of the greatest distance runners by winning the halfmile and mile runs in the Big Ten meet, and the individual crown in the Big Ten cross-country meet. Success in the national field, however, was not alone of the outstanding accomplishments of the year. Horace Mann of Gary turned out one of the best high school football teams that ever saw action on a Hoosier prep gridiron. Frankfort won the state high school basketball crown with a team of sqper-ability. Froebel of Gary revealed ability on the track and field when it won the state title and national honors.
