Talking It Over BY DANIEL

NEW YORK, Feb. 12. YOU’VE got to hand it to the resourceful and dramatic Frenchmen—the whole 50.000,000 of ’em, too —for ability to rise to the occasion and solve distressing problems. Take that lurid incident at the Vincennes race track on Sunday, for example. The main event on the card had a most fishy aspect. Did the customers rise and just yell ■robber”—the simple formula for squawk&g suckers on this side of the Atlantic? Yes, the clients did a little hollering, but that was merely incidental. They got out a few of those Swedish matches and set fire to the stands. Then they lined up amid the smoldering ruins and got their bets back. a a a This cure for crooked race* worked at fashionable Longrhamps before the war, and It also proved effective at Le Tremlay. It 1* reasonable to suppose that hereafter those who conduct racing around Paris will be most circumspect, if not downright careful, about the trail of the markerrl across the turf. a a a The action of the crowd at Vincennes suggests that the Introduction #of typical American pastimes in Prance perhaps would be accompanied by hazards unknown In this country. It that It would be hard to control the lads with the matches alter a shortstop had fumbled a couple In a world series game. It would be tantamount to an invitation to a fire to put on one of those wrestling bouts, and a Carncra-Rioux fandango would be preceded by a three-alarm call to the hook and ladder company. a a a For centuries historians have been trying to find out what prompted Nero to bum Rome and keep fiddling. It is suggested that he didn't like the looks of one of the chariot races at the Coliseum that afternoon. a u u THE death of Harry Frazee killed an effort to bring Jack Dempsey and Max Schmeling together under Harry’s promotion. Frazee called Jack Curley to his office one day and said: “I want to promote a Dempsey-Schmeling fight. Go get them. The sky is the limit.’’ While Curley was negotiating with Dempsey. Frazee died. Harry owned the Red Sox. sold Ruth to the Yanks promoted the Willard-Johnson fight and made a fortune out of the musical comedy. ‘‘No. No. Nanette.” n a a THIS department had a pleasant visit the other from day from Ray Eichenlaub, star full .back of the Notre Dame eleven, which astonished the football world by trouncing the Army by 34 to 13 in 1913. “The difference between the old game and the new? Just one, and very important, - ’ suid Ray. “There is a real code in the game today. There is practically none of that dirty work which years ago was part of the game. In the old era, the players took their cues from the crowd, which staged mass and individual brawls between halves. The psychology of the crowd lias changed.” u * n •‘Modern football Is more complex than the old game. We have more good players, more fine officials, better facilities for play and training, finer coaches and closer supervision. Years ago fatalities were due to the fact that players with bad hearts were permitted to compete. And the boys did not get into as fine condition as they do nowadays.** * * tt BARNEY OLDFIELD, the real father of automobile racing in this country. Is in New' York, on a little visit from his home in Beverly Hills. Cal. Says Barney: “Everything these days is much better than it was years ago. That, goes for auto racing, baseball and everything but fighting. That sport has gone back.” NET TILT ADVANCED The Southport Greenwood basketball game, originally scheduled at University Heights Friday night, has Jjeen advanced to Thursday night.

Eilly Rose of Cincinnati and Spug Myers of Pocatello, Idaho, have been rematched for the ten-round feature struggle at the Armory next Tuesday night. Eddie Shea needed six rounds to stop Pete Zivic of Pittsburgh in the scheduled feature entertainment at the Armory Tuesday. The Chicagon outclassed Zivic in every shape and form, and the towel sent fluttering into the ring by Zivic's handlers in the sixth ended some unpleasant action.

BY VERN BOXELL BUTLER isn’t the only “big time” quintet suffering from depleted ranks. Two stellar guards on the Loyola of Chicago team which went through thirty-four games undefeated before Purdue upset them, have been lost for the season. Tom Flynn wasn’t as good on the books as he was on the hardwood, and failed to make the grade—that is his grades. Richard Butzen, another regular, received a serious leg injury in a recent game and is out for the remainder of the campaign. Both men played prominent roles in the Loyola-Butler and Loy-ola-Purdue games. Both were missing when the Ramblers suffered their second setback of the season Monday night at the hands of Georgetown university of Washington. D. C.

Eight teams will compete in the junior division of the Sunday tourney. Hoosier Flyers. O’Hara Sans, Rhodius Dark Horses, Indianapolis Flashes and University Heights Greyhounds already have entered.

Tech goes to Vincennes Saturday, to attempt a repetition of their victory last season. Which reminds us of a very amusing incident. Pete Ellis, the Vincennes Sun scribe, recently remarked in his column: “Technically, Indianapolis fans won’t need many tickets for the state tourney this season,” or something to that effect. The next day, Pete had a change of heart, remarking that he meant to cast no reflections on the Tech team and that they probably would be at the state. tt tt u And while talking of Pete, tve are reminded that the song is ended but the melody lingers on. The Washington-Vin-cennes tong war was staged last Saturday, but Elli Sand Brouillette of Washington continue their battle of sarcastic words. And Pete, since he’s on the losing side on the hardwood, is slipping to the losing side of the argument. We'll stay out of this affair, but take exception to one of Pete’s comebacks. In referring to the stalling tactics used by the Hatchets and attempting to absolve the Alices of all blame, Ellis says: “The responsibility of putting the ball in play rests with the team that has it.” Which is contrary to every opinion Backboard ever had on the subject. To say the least, it would not be wise to use such an axiom when playing Frankfort and the Hot Dogs were in a stalling mood, a tt tt STALLING— -that brings up another thought. Early this season Muncie and Newcastle, whose athletic rivalry almost is as heated as that between Washington and Vincennes, played a 9-7 stalling game. Friday night they meet again, at. Newcastle. With Van Nuys back in the lineup and Rowe going strong, the Trojans may give the Bearcats a real battle. Even more, they may tie a knot in the ’Cats tail. a a a Considerable comment has been stirred up over the state by the resignation of Pat Page Jr. from the Bloomington high school basketball team. You* Pat has been criticized severely for an alleged display of poor sportsmanship and school spirit, all because he is alleged to have offered the excuse that he “questioned the value of continuing to play on a losing team.” As we get It after a little Investigation. Pat didn't say anything close to this. He turned in his uniform because he was being kept on the bench too much. He was a senior, and the Bloomington coach

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Hoosiers Will Miss Blagrave Sophomore Guard Ineligible; Win Means Third Place Tie for I. U. Bv Time* fiveninl EVANSTON, HI., Feb. 12.—Indiana university's hopes of staying r* the first division of the Big Nine Dasketball race will be at stake here tonight when they clash with a desperrte band of Northwestern Wildcats. An Indiana victory will give the Hoosiers a third place tie with Michigan and Illinois. Northw'estern, a pre-conference season favorite, slumped at the start of the title race, and now is definitely out as a contender for the pennant. Earlier this season, the Hoosier’s tripped Coach Lonberg's quintet at Bloomington. Since then, the Dean quintet has shown increased power, while Lonberg has been shifting his lineup. In an attempt to find a suitable combination, the coach has benched Captain Rut Walter, former Kokomo (Ind.) star. Indiana will be playing without the service of Bill Blagrave, six foot three sophomore backguard, who had shown considerable promise. Gill, a veteran who held the position last season, will be seen guarding the hoop tonight. Blagrave was ruled out when he failed to pass the examination hurdle. Cooper, another veteran, w r ho was not in school the first semester, has returned and has displaced Strickland, a veteran, at forward, teaming with Zeller, a sophomore. Captain McCracken at center and Veller at guard, complete the lineup. Purdue’s lead in the conference will not be threatened this week. The undefeated Boilermakers play their only game at Ohio State Saturday. Two weeks Lambert five turned in a 60 to 14 victory over the Buckeyes at Lafayette.

The Reds now have only eight men still unsigned. Weil expects most of them to be in line by the time the team starts for the Orlando (Fla.) training camp.

was searching for future material, as we hear it. Maybe Page did say something about a losing team and maybe he didn't. Even so. he wouldn’t he the Hist high school youth to have words with his coach. In other instances, the case has passed unnoticed and the youth, having satisfactorily expressed himself, changes his mind and gets his uniform back. In this instance, a certain newspaper got hold of the yarn, so we are told, colored it up, and put Coach Phillips in such a light that he rould not. under any circum- j stances, accept Page back on the team. Such instances as these are regrettable, j especially when the player involved is as good as Page and has given as much to his school as Page did In football, when he won all-state honors on Dick Miller’s team despite playing on an average eleven. a a a IF you’re looking for a good game Friday you won’t have to go far. Delphi Oracles, the small-town wonder team which has turned in some creditable victories this season, including a win over Horace Mann, i will invade Martinsville. Coach Lostutter’s quintet may gave the Artesians considerable trouble. We have it that Perigo and Moore are better than average pastimers, while Popejoy and Shuey could gain berths on about anybody’s team. a a a Washington '■•ill take it easy again this week, playing Seymour and Sullivan. Frankfort will be forced to knock off an ambitious Kokomo quintet to get back in the running. Kokomo is coming up rapidly, while Frankfort has shown some improvement but still has plenty of vacancy to fill before reaching their expected form. a a Another battle royal awaits Columbus this week-end. Shelbyville, whom the Bulldogs will be forced to eliminate before they reach the field house, Invades Columbus. The Newsom five holds a threepoint victory over the Shelby team. Kehrt, Einville, Reiman and the rest of McCullough'S quintet should give Columbus a warm tussle. tt a a Fact Is, there are several good contests on the board for this weekend. a a a To say nothing of the Horace MannLotransport encounter at Gary tonight. Both Wells of the Berries and Crown of Horace Mann have started to bring their quintets into tourney form, and the result should provide Calumet with one of the best contests of the season. a a a We understand several crimes have been committed in this city recently. That's nothing, we’re going to pick a state champion Saturday. FRANKLIN FIVE WINS By Times Rverinl FRANKLIN, Ind., Feb. 12. Franklin defeated Earlham college tossers here Tuesday, 24 to 15.

Manual Holds Shortridge to One-Point Win Manual high school's quintet further demonstrated their increased power Tuesday night by setting the pace throughout the contest before losing to Shortridge, 27 to 26, at the north side gym. Last Saturday the Red five registered an impressive 48-to-24 triumph over Washington. After tying the score at 22-all late in the second period, the Blue Devils gained a four-point lead and successfully checked a last-minute Manual rally.

Big Italian Stops Cop in Second Prime Draws $14,000 for Flattening Martin in Four Minutes. BY EDWARD W. LEWIS United Press Staff Correspondent ST. LOUIS. Feb. 12.—Primo Carnera, big Italian who pushes them down, had his fourth American knockout to his credit today. For all the world like a St. Bernard dog cuffs a poodle, the 280pound heavyweight swung his right at. Buster Martin's chin here Tuesday fifty seconds after the beginning of the second round, and the Tulsa (Okla.) policeman's head cracked on the floor. He was out more than a minute. A crowd of approximately 12.000 saw the “human bull” from Italy perform in the same arena where prize bulls and cattle paraded in the national dairy show. The exhibit was brief and brought Carnera’s total time in fight rings since he arrived in America to somewhere around eight minutes. Oddly enough, Martin went for Camera at the bell, succeeding in tapping his opponent with several blows to the body that didn’t jar the colossus. A cuff or two from the European’s oversize gloves and Buster slowed down and stayed that way. Camera's share of the gate was "5 per cent, approximately $14,000, while Martin was paid $1,350. Camera left here today for Hot Springs, where he will give an exhibition tonight. Friday he is scheduled to meet Jim Sigman in an eight-round bout at Memphis.
