BY VERX BOXELL HAIL, Danville Normal! Os the many college quintets playing In the basketball domain of Indiana, the purple warriors stand alone in the undefeated class. Rus-
sell Cook, who is a veteran at the coaching racket, although young in '•ars. is the hand that has guided the Normalites to six consecutive victories, including a surprise walloping of Butler, national champions. Cook lias brought the little school to the r ront. rapidly in athletics. His football teams also have shown in-

creat'd power. Russell has been at the Danville institution for about six years, and the great hardwood team of this season represents his biggest achievement. a an A 40-to-lfi victory over the Bulldogs !s rarity. That's the package the Puriiic Warriors handed the Ilinkleman at Itanvillc recently. Champions from various conferences in all sections of the country have strived for such a victory during the past two vears, and all have fallen short. In fact, fust two teams. Chicago and Notre Dame, have been able to eke out narrow wins over the Blue five during this period. a a a When Danville and Butler play their return engagement at the field house next Friday, the massive Bulldog athletic plant should be crammed to the rafters. Furthermore. after next Friday night, there shouldn’t be any undefeated college teams in Indiana. a tt a e~jpO be a hero in a big time game i is the ambition of every young athlete, and to be the goat is just the reverse. But to be both in the same game is a real variety. “Jumping Joe” Zeller, former East Chicago prep star, entered the IndianaNotre Dame game in the last half, and enabled the Hoosiers to spurt into a one point lead by scoring three field goals. Joe wasn’t satisfi and. and with forty-seconds to play, dribbled down the floor for another fielder. He missed Donovan passed the ball down to Crowe, Crowe shot, and Notre Dame won oy one point. n a tt The next night. Zeller played forward mi the Indiana "B” team. a tt a Rumors from Chicago that Ptggv Lambert. the Purdue court mentor, had forced the Lovo’a (Chicago! quintet to abandon Its f ions tone defense for the BoilermakerI i> >ia gsine Jan. 30. were denied by the roid and Black no*.dor today. Incidentally. this rs the game it-, which Charles iStretch! Murphy of Purdue faces Charles (Stretch) Murphy of Loyola. Ban In tonight's top notchers, Backboard takes: Martinsville over Vincennes. Logansport over Frankfort. Rhelbyville over Franklin. Anderson over Rochester. Kokomo over Lebanon (?). AVashington over Blomington. New Albany over Mitchell. Muncle over Richmond. Horace Mann (Gary) over Whiting. Conncrsvilic over Delphi . Frocbcl (Gary) over Valparaiso. I_i Porte over Goshen. JvtTerson (Lafayette) over Crawfordswtili. Columbus over Rratil. tt tt a Wabash should fall before Butler, Terre Haute Normal looks better than Concordia, Hanover may tumble Oakland City and Kalamazoo probably will stop Manchester. n a u Already letters have started tc pour in concerning Backboard’s odds on state championship possi • biiities. And before it’s all over, {here probably will be some “I told you so's,’’ which is all right with us, because among other things we also bet on Blue Larkspur in the Derby and the Cubs in the series. nan SOME VIEWS Dear Be ckboard—Although Washington's Contincrtala have not been winning games, they are a splendid bunch of boys. Coach Jones, with only two regulars from last year's souad. has developed a small, fast quintet that is going to cause some trouble in the city tournament. I'm picking •he Washington Hatchets. Tech also will be there March 15 and 16. STACOMR OF W. H S. Proving there are some basketball fans who boost their own school and still are broad-minded. Delphi. Dear Backboard—Have you been watching the Delphi Oracles. By tournament time they will be one of the best. The newcomers are beginning to play like veterans. Thev are fast, and drive under the basket hard. This week will provide the hi rdest test. The Oracles play at Corneisviile Friday and will get revenge from Washington of East Chicago here Saturday. THE RED SHADOW. Hotdogtown. Dear Boxell —Don't worry just because Frankfort lost Armentrout at badeguard. There Is a boy who played on our "B'' teem who has filled Curie's shoes, and he is nobody hut Locke, a 6 foot 3 sophomore. If Armentrout was good Locke, is excellent. Give him a hand. FRANKFORT STUDENT. Shelby vilie. Dear Ba-kboartl—Here arc the best ;ams in the state, and their stars: Washington. Engiebart: Vincennes. Pylea; Frankfort, Lawhead; Muncle. Mans: Horace Mann. Cavanaugh: ShelbyvlUe. Uehrt;
Notre Dame to Face Fast Marquette Team

FACE FT. WAYNE TEAM Terr Haute Normal Ready for Basket Fray With Concordia. B" Times Special TERRE HAUTE. Ind., Jan. 10 Terre Haute Normal basketball squad today was ready for its game here tonight with Concordia ot Ft. Wayne. The locals have finished a hard week of training and expect to win easily.
Columbus, Staples; Anderson. Butler; Connersvllle. Ridge; Martinsville. Suddlth. Shelbyvllle is go.nu strong and held Columbus to a three-point edge. We think the Mackmen are under-rated. Wouldn't that group of players make a rer.l team. HUNK AND PUNK. An ex-Shortrldge student writes In to tell Bari-hoard that he favors the stall v hen it is employed by a smart team, like Frankfort. Important games ave been lost by close derisions Inst because the loser we-en't smart en h to stall when they held a one or two point edge, he says. Frankfort. Dear Boxell—How Is this for a big four: Washington. Frankfort, Logan port and Anderson. Frankfort appreciates the support you have given them. Wc have a coming star in Locke, backruard. TRU-BLU. Dear Boxell—While you were listening to that Kokomo band, did you notice Tee! new back guard, "Shots” Campbell? This is his first year but I think he'll be allstate before the end of the season. See where Shortridge is planning a surprise party for Tech in the city tournament. Tech Is too cool for them. I think it's a good thing for Rushville. Newcastle and Richmond that the games vere postponed. They'll need lots of practice to beat Tech. •■CHICKIK.” Dear Backboard—l wish to prophesl? • that Tech may not be at the Butler fieldhouse this vcar for the simple reason that they will no, get through the secional. I'm picking Shortridge to take Campbell's team out. of the running. There are plenty of rabid basketball fans who will laugh at the idea of Shortridge beating Tech, hut the fathers of these same fans laughed at the idea of airplanes. EDDIE. Dear Backboard—We'd like to see some new pictures of Tech. The Green and White have lost only one game ar.d that to Muncie. That coincides with last year. Remember, watch Tech! Dear Backboard—Glad to see how \ou rate the teams in Indiana, but never.heless, you rate some of them wrong. I think. For Instance. Horace Mann should take the place of Martinsville in your rating as an 8 to 1 shot. And I’ll bet Kokomo could trim Delphi. Muncie should be a 10 to 1. Martinsville should be a 17 or 18 to 1 shot. Listen. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Shortridge beat Tech In the city tourney. What do you think of that? WINSOME WILLIE. Incidentally. Delphi biat Kokomo bv two point* on the Wildcats home floor.

in top shape for the remainder of the season’s battles. Barring injuries the Irish should be able to put their strongest team on the floor in every’ remaining battle. Marquette has a veteran team, one reputed to be one of the fastest passing and cleverest floor teams in the mid-west.
CHAMPS FAR IN FRONT Boston Bruins Win 14 Straight in Hockey Fray. By Unitm! Pr^si Nearing the half-way mark the world champion Boston Brains continue to show their supremacy in the National Hockey League race. Boston won its fourteenth straight game Thursday night by defeating Pittsburgh, 4 to 3.
And Martinsville has taken some of the topnotchers for a ride In recent games. Dear Backboard—Three cheers for Backhoard! This column is conducted the way it should be and It gives all of Us readers a thorough interpretation of college and high school basketball. Being a rabid fan from Tech, It is only proper that I should back my own school, and that I am doing my best. My Big Sixteen, in the order named: Washington, Vincennes, Frankfort, Anderson. Horace Mann. Columbus, Tech, Martinsville, Greencastle, Muncie, Conuersvllie. Delphi, Loganport, Kokomo, ShelbvviUe, and Franklin. My all-state team: Stone of Greencastle and Englehart of Washington, center; Lowery of Tech and Elser, Horace Mann, guards. STUDENT PRINCE. '"IpICKETS for the grudge tilt between Danville Normal and Butler at the heldhouse next Friday, Jan. 17, will be placed on sale today at Spalding's sporting goods store and Clark & Cade’s drug store, it was announced by Ralph Hitch, graduate manager. Many of the ducats already have been sold and there is a heavy demand from all parts of the state. Danville requested 1,000 tickets and most of them have been sold. a u u ONE of the most consistent members of the 1930 edition of the Butler Bulldogs is Edwin (String)
Allen. Allen went through the early games, rarely mentioned as a star, but his light-ning-like play and speedy passes, his short dashes under the basket for an occasional field goal, all have been str umental in early victories. When things looked dark Saturday night against Chicago, it was Allen who came

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
Trade of Pitcher Is Predicted No Change in Holdout Situation Reported; Other Gossip. With baseball fans watching the holdout situation with acute interest, no new developments were reported today and the situation remain.*:, at the same stage it has been for several days. The latest holdout Is reported to be Chuck Klein of Indianapolis, the Phillies’ great swatting star and nome run king of the National League. Indications from the Quaker city are to the effect that Klein and O'Doul, National League batting king, both are holding out for higher salaries. Burleigh Grimes still refuses to let down in his demands for a $25,000 contract at Pittsburgh and it Is reported that a big deal may be made around the star right hander. Vance of Brooklyn, Ferrell of Cleveland and Hoyt and Babe Ruth of the Yankees still are on the holdout list also. Although Ruth and the Yankee magnates are at odds over the salary fight,, New York sports writers believe that Ruth will sign shortly for a two-year contract at a salary near $85,000 a season. The New York Telegram, a Scripps-Howard newspaper, has issued the report that Charley Ruffing, Red Sox twirler, will be traded to the Yankees for an infielder, pitcher and outfielder. Ruffing always has been regarded as a pitcher of great potentialities, although he never has jumped into the spotlight as a star of the first rank. Ruffing is a hard-hitting pitcher and he may be converted into an outfielder. Babe Ruth, also a Red Sox pitcher, was converted into an outfielder. Ruth, however, was one of the star left handed pitchers of the league. Walter Simmons, 21-year-old brother of A1 Simmons, the Athletics slugging ace, has been signed ;by the Cleveland Indians. Connie Mack, manager of the Athletics, is reported to have made the assertion he does “not want any brother acts on my club.” It was reported today that the Chicago White Sox have made overtures to Indianapolis for a young catcher, probably the youthful Johnny Riddle.
