Berg Floors Callahan in Tenth Round By United Press LONDON. Feb. 19.—English boxing fans today hailed Jack (Kid) Berg as world’s junior welter-weight champion and a prospective world’s lightweight titleholder. The English boxer established his claim to the junior welterweight crown by a knockout in the tenth round over Mushy Callahan of California in a scheduled fifteenround bout at Albert hall Tuesday. Berg was inclined to disregard the 140-pound title. He forced the milling throughout and battered the Californian about the ring until Callahan’s handlers threw in a towel to save him further punishment.

Bu United Press MIAMI, Feb. 19.—Seven rounds of sparring with five different partners comprised the bulk of Phil Scott’s training session Tuesday for the heavyweight spectacle here Feb. 27 with Jack Sharkey. The Briton, perceptibly down by his two-day week-end layoff, successively took on Babe Hunt, Bill Middlekauff, Jack Demave, Jack Renault and Charley Hann.

By Times Special NEW YORK, Feb. 19.—8 By giving Connie Mack the giving Connie Mack the $10,000 Bok award for having done the most for the city of Philadelphia in 1929, the committee has placed the leader of the Athletics in a difficult spot.

This pair, sen- ' ior and junior respectively, will lead in the attempt to save Indiana from the Wolves. a an Our pet peeve is the failure of Indiana and Purdue to get together this season. Why the authorities of these institutions pass up such a big gate attraction and rob court followers of such a choice dish, almost calls for a probe. The round-robin system of scheduling employed by the Big Ten is blamed for the absence of the annual classic, but round robin or no, Tloosier fans should have their Indiana-Purduc basketball game. nett Since Backboard's first list of odds on state championship contenders appeared, many changes have oc,cured.

There was little fire in the performance, to which Pierre Charles and Johnny Grosso contributed their presence.

Before Connie gets through he may find that §IO,OOO a total loss, and then some.

A. A. and in some I have agreed with you. It would be an excellent idea for you to advocate an alteration in the rule concerning the number of players in sectional, regional and ' state tourneys. In sectionals and regionals, I understand, each team is allowed to use but eight players, and in the state finals, ten men. That rule seems to me the utmost in fallacy and idiocy. If ten men are allowed on a team in the state, why not the sectionals and regionals A galaxy of reasons could be advanced for my theory that ten men should be allowed in all tourneys. (1) The added experience for new players. (2) The abolishment of the resulting embarrassment to the ninth and tenth players during sectional and regional tourney play, who are forced to watch the contests in “civics" from the stands, after playing an entire season with their mates. (3) The lessening of the strain in hardfought sectionals and regionals on players forced to travel at a terrific pace for three or four garoe-s. <t) A lessening of strain during advance practice sessions for the sectionals, when teammates are striving desperately to win a place on the squad. I could rant and rave on forever and little could be said in favor of the present ruling. To my mind, it is one of the most foolhardy systems in organized athletics. HERODOTUS. tt a a As the board and Mr. Trester explain it. the eight-man team plan in the sectionals is used to place the smaller schools on a more even basis with the larger ones, if that is possible, by lessening their reserve strength. Imagine, Ilerotodus, placing Manual on a par with Tech by taking away a pair of Tim’s substitutes. Ten men are permitted in the regional play. tt tt tt “Congratulations" writes Eob the Gob, "on your choice of Frankfort for the state title. I believe they will come through for you. I might add that I believe Tech will be runners-up. tt tt tt “You picked a good team, hut Martinsville is going to shove your team ‘off the backboard.’ ” That's the way “Lasses and Molasses" see it. tt tt tt Dear Backboard—Why don’t you say something about Manual and their improvement once in a while. Manual is coming on and what will you bet we don't beat Shortrldge in the sectional? Our choice is Tech first and Manual second In the sectional.

Sectional Tourneys Next Week Anderson-Frankfort and Martinsville-Vincennes Tilts Featured. With s sectional tourneys, the starting point of the long trail that leads to the state championship, just a little more than a week away, Indiana high school hardwood pastimers prepared for the final contests of the season this weekend. Practically every quintet will end its scheduled campaign with one or two engagements. Sectional tournaments will start at the sixty-feur centers the following Friday, Feb. 28, and continue through Saturday. Drawings for the events will be released Saturday morning at the Claypool, according to anouncement of A. L. Trester, commissioner. Approximately 785 teams have entered the tourneys. Indians vs. Champs Rivalry contests will feature the final card, topped by the meeting of Anderson and Frankfort at the former place Friday night. Coach Staggs’ strong Indian quintet, always a threat in the elimination tourneys, will be keyed high for the engagement with the defending champs, who are among the favorites again this season. A battle which probably will equal the central Indiana contest will be staged in the south when Martinsville and Vincennes, rivals of the court for many seasons, play a return engagement at Vincennes. In a previous game the Alices were defeated in the last eight minutes of play, when the Artesians came from behind to score seventeen points. Since then, the Artesians have added Sadler, stellar center, to the lineup. Shortridge at Columbus Columbus, another of the title favorites, will oppose the Shortridge five Friday at the home of the Bulldogs, and although the local quintet has shown improvement, they are conceded little chance of victory. Logansport and Horace Mann, also listed among the selected class, tackle easy foes in Bloomington and Whiting, respectively, while Muncie meets an old rival at Marion. Washington Hatchets, one of the leading contenders, oppose Wiley of Terre Haute, a “dark horse” entry, Saturday. Tech will entertain Shelbyville, Peru comes to Shortridge and Greensburg plays at Connersville in other Saturday features.

Slattery bout generally will be recognized as the light heavyweight champion. Walker gained recognition as an outstanding contender for the title vacated by Tommy Loughran when he decisively outpointed Leo Lomski, Aberdeen (Wash.) battler. Rosenbloom halted the march of another newcomer in the light heavy ranks, Ace Hudkins, Nebraska middleweight, in New York, while Slattery recently earned the temporary crown of the New York athletic commission by defeating Lou Scozza.
