Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Jan. 28. THE talk on Broadway is still of the Primo. For a fighter who accomplished nothing in stopping a fifth rate oppcnen- who did not offer a single legitimate lead he has become the biggest public sensation the ring has known In twenty years. The matchmaker at Madison Square Garden, skilled in such matters. says he could put the Primo back this week against another animated bale of hay and again play to a capacity business. The odd thing about the Primo is that in spite of his brief performance, by which it was impossible to get any sort of line on his ability, if any. a great number of critics profess to be enthusiastic about him. ana •'How I* anybody going to boat him?’ domand' l>umb llan Morgan, the man •who made Jack Britton welterweight rbampion of the world. "He is too strong, too hi* and alto*etber too powerful.” Morgan doesn't see how It Is possible for anybody to break through the giant's natural bulwark of hone and muscle with a punch that will hurt him. a a a BY the simple expedient of having erown by gradual processes to the size of a horse, the Primo has become a figure of international consequence and curiosity, and because he walks in an unright manner and speaks a human tongue there i? more lively interest in him ; than any of the amazing freaks of nature tthe basic appeal being the same) which Barnum ever displayed under the big tent. ana Tt is quite possible this situation portends a significance on modern civilization th’-t is not readily foreseen. When men and women rush to worship bulging bleeps and mountainous shoulders it is time for the serious thinkers to rive the mstter some concern. Tied up in the thing somewhere there mav be a surging desire for anew race peopled by super men. a a a POSSIBLY it will be necessary to revise the whole fistic arrangement and create a super division to be known, say, as the heavy-heavy-weight division. There is precedent for this in the light heavyweight division, wherein the big men of smaller stature compete. Automatically such a revision would reduce in artistic importance the fighting prowess of the Dempseys, the Tunneys, the Sharkeys and the Schmelings. a a a The modem trend generaUy is in the direction of gigantic enterprises. The Woolwortb building is no longer the eye popper of the New York skyline. You get much closer to the gods from the top balcony of the Chrysler edifice. There should be no popular disapproval of human skyscrapers. For all anybody knows this may he a material manifestation of a bigger and better humanity, and with it the promise of a finer world. a a a FOR centuries the underdog has always been the favorite of the multitudes. There was nobody in Goliath’s corner the day he was flattened by David, and when 265pound Jess Willard crawled between the ropes at Toledo to face 180-pound Jack Dempsey, he was booed, jeered and ridiculed as a "big. fat slob.” , a a a It has never struck me that this pttltude was wholly fair. The rule of combat is to ask no quarter and give none. By the same token there ahould be no sympathy or sentiment. With the mnltitnde the underdog rldea solely on sympathy and sentiment. And no gladiator trulT brave at heart wants this wort of support. a tt a With tlie coming of anew breed of giants to the ring all this may be different. It will be possible to keep these 2.10 pound pygmies where they belong and reserve the windups for men who are men.

PURDUE POLISHES OFFENSE FOR LOYOLA-CONFLICT,

Battle of ‘Murphys’ Is Feature Two Great Centers Meet When Undefeated Five Invades Lafayette. Pji rime* Srii rial LAFAYETTE, Ind., Jan. 28. Hoosier collegiate basketball interest is expected to reach its highest point of the season here Thursday night when Coach Piggy Lambert’s Big Nine pace-setting Boilermakers attempt to stop the extended winning streak of the Loyola of Chicago quintet. Lambert today continued to polish his offense for the famous Loyola mass zone defense which held the flashy Butler offense to fourteen points when the Ramblers annexed their thirty-fourth consecutive victory in two years last Friday.

Wooden Key in Offense Lambert is constructing a special offense to send against the Ramblers, in which Wooden, speedy sophomore floor guard, will be the key man. The Boilermakers have been idle since they defeated Northwestern in their second conference game, on Jan. 12. Lambert witnessed the ButlerLoyola game at Indianapolis last Friday, and preceding the strenuous drill Monday explained the intricate Loyola defense and his plan to smash it, Another hard workout was scheduled for today, with a light workout for Wednesday. Murphys to Clash An interesting feature of the tilt will De the first meeting of two of the greatest centers in the country, Charles Murphy of Purdue and Charles Murphy of Loyola. The two Murphys are centers and captains of their respective teams. The elongated , Boilermaker ace was awarded all-America honors last season, but many believe Coach Lenny Sachs' stellar performer to be his superior. Victory over the Boilermakers will strengthen the Ramblers’ claim to national title recognition. A capacity crowd is expected for the tilt, with ticket requests pouring in from all over the state.

Stove League Chatter BY EDDIE ASH

DISCARDED by the American League and discarded by John McGraw would discourage the average pastimer—and convince him he didn’t belong in major company, but not so Lefty Frank O’Doul, the

sweet swatter of the Phillies. The former pitcher, turned outfielder, hit In consistent manner all through the 1929 campaign and never missed a game. The Phils played 154 tilts and O’Doul was in the entire number. He topped National League swatters with the whop-

O’Doul

per average of .398, getting 254 hits, anew record for the circuit. Included in his wallops were thirtytwo homers, six triples and thirtyfive doubles. Frank treated all clubs alike and no pitcher was able to improvise a delivery to check the veteran’s mighty bludgeon for any length of time. His few slumps were of short duration.

Flash and Henry are welters, while Lewis and Davy are feathers.

He is a pitcher and was the best in the Little Nineteen conference last spring. a a a Dale Alexander and Bob Fothergiil, two of the largest men in baseball, in some manner managed to duck all wild pitches last season and went through the campaign without being socked once. Perhaps opposing hurlers were afraid the big fellows would become hostile if dusted off. a a a Mule Haas. Connie Mack’s famous center fielder, is a guard on the Paterson (N. J.) basketball team. He keeps his knees well cushioned while galloping over the hardwood. m am Manager Howley of the Clncy Reds Is going to give Outfielder Bob Meusel every possible break to see If the veteran will do a comeback with the Rhinelanders. Bob will not be asked to play the sun field In any park and will be shifted to escape the glare. Dan figures Bob will improve at bat and in the field. a a a HOWLEY will start with Meusel in left, Swanson in center and Heilmann in right, and if the Reds are in the lead along about the sixth Keilmann will be jerked in favor of Curt Walker to bolster the defense.

CONTRIBUTING to the major leagues the home run king of the National loop, Indianapolis is proud of Chuck Klein, outfielder with the Phillies. He smacked forty-three over the fence last season and furthermore he’s a good ball player. Ownie Bush, White Sox pilot, who managed Pittsburgh for nearly three seasons, will tell you that, and Ownie’s word is the real article in Indianapolis, his home town. Chuck is spending a quiet winter and all his friends glory over his swatting record for the Philadelphia Nationals In 1929. In fact, more than one local baseball expert predicts Klein will "out home run” Babe Ruth diming the coming season, and there’s no gyp about that statement, for if any pastimer is going to step into Babe Ruth’s shoes Chuck Klein is right up there among the challengers. He is keeping in good shape during the off season, and his chief hobby is bowling. Klein enjoys throwing the mineralite down the alleys and often is seen doing just that at the Pritchett drives. Jess Pritehet is a former league ball player and also one of the nation’s best pintopplers, and you can imagine there are many fanning bees when Pritchett and Klein converse. Klein batted for an avarage of .355 last season and hit for distance. He poled forty-five doubles and six triples, as well as his forty-three homers, and collected 219 hits in 149 games. His total bases were 405. Along with his swat power he has developed into a good outfielder, and his throwing arm is about the equal of the best in the major leagues.

Rally Fails to Improve Popular Joe HICKMAN, Ky., Jan. 28.—Despite a rally which allowed him to regain consciousness late Monday night, Pongo Joe Cantillon, one of baseball’s most popular figures, still was in a serious condition today. Cantillon suffered a second stroke of paralysis a few days ago and has been near death since that time. Joe began his professional baseball career in the early eighties and only three men who were playing with him during that time still are alive. They are Charles Comiskey, owner of the Chicago White Sox; Connie Mack, manager of the Philadelphia Athletics, and Wilbert Robinson, manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers. All three have sent messages to Cantillon. COOG/TiTtcTbOX WOODS Capital City A.

ACCORDING to Detroit papers, all grade, intermediate and high school athletic teams in that city, numbering over two hundred, will play their future ggames without the aid of their coaches. Mentors will be barred from the bench and from handling their teams in compstition. This isn’t exactly a new idea, but it is about the first time it has been employed so extensively. Imagine, if you can. some Indiana Wrt school basketball teams without tbeir roaches on the sidelines, directing the play. For instance. Staggs and Anderson. Case and Frankfort. Curtis and Martinsville, Friddie and Washington. Two weeks ago. Case was at Tech gvm scouting a game when his varsity-reserve combination was defeated by an average Jeff of Lafayette quintet. g "We are seeking to place a boy’s athletic work on the same basis as his academic program. The coach shows the athlete what he should do in a game, but the contest itself should be a sort of examination to prove how much the boy has learned during the week.’’ states one of the sponsors of the program in Detroit. a a Ton rarely here of 3.000 to 10.000 people crowding into a school classroom and yelling their heads off during an examination.

As we understand it, Johnny Wooden, speedy floor guard, and Kid Boots, husky sharp-shooting back guard, will play important parts in the special offensive machine. a a From Chicago comes word that Charles Murphy of Purdue will enjoy one advantage in the Loyola tilt that will be novel to him. In most of his college games. Stretch has been hounded by two guards. Coach Lenny Sachs doesn’t intend to assign anybody to Murphy. The Rambler’s will stick to the gone defense. That means five men on Purdue’s “beanpole.’’ At least, that’s what they say. tt n tt Tech should have little trouble with Rushville tonight.

Michigan Takes Slow Tilt From Gopher Quintet Bu Times Special ANN ARBOR. Mich.. Jan. 28.—1n a game in which neither team was shooting well, the University of Michigan basketball team easily defeated Minnesota. 26 to 13. Good defensive play by both teams forced most of the scoring to be the result of long distance attempts. The game was slow, with the Wolverines leading. 14 to 5 at the half. Captain Chapman, forced from the floor in the second period on personal fouls, led the scoring with six points. Loose was best for Minnesota.
