DARK HORSES TOP NET PLAY

8 Quintets Remain in U. S. Meet Two Georgia Teams Surprise; Jena Five Still in Running. BY BERT DEMBY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, April 4.—Dark horses dominated the national interscholastic basketball tournament today. As eight teams, survivors of thirty-six starters, sjyung into the quarter-'" a! round, two teams from Georgia and one from Louisiana, all unheralded at the start of the tourney, were regarded as almost certain semi-finalists. The Louisiana entry Jena, a dot on the map which hasn’t even an indoor court, was the subject of most discussion, but the most amazement probably was expressed r rding the showings of Braselton and "rvannah, Ga. Braselton, even smaller than Jena and having only a railroad station, general store and school house, may be regarded as the real surprise. The two early favorites which have survived the play are Athens, Tex., defending champion, and Wheatland, Wyo. The other quarter-finalists were New Brunswick, N. J.; Corinth, Ky., and St. John’s Military academy, Delfield, Wis. COHEN SCORES K. O. DENVER, Colo., April 4. —Mickey Cohen, Denver lightweight, knocked out Buster Brandon, Salt Lake City, in the sixth of a scheduled tenround bout here Thursday. TRACK MEET POSTPONED The triangular track meet between Shortridge, Warren Central and Washington, scheduled for this afternoon at Warren Central, was postponed until sometime next week.

Berg Is Favorite to Defeat Click at Garden Tonight Little English Battler Attempts to Restore American Faith in Sportsmanship of British Boxers.

BY FRANK GETTY United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, April 4.—Although the title is not recognized in New York state, Jack (Kid) Berg of England will be defending the world’s junior welterweight championship when he meets Joe Glick, a local button-hole maker, at Madison Square Garden tonight. Berg won the title by stopping Mushy Callahan in London earlier in the year, and is entitled to whatever dubious honor accompanies it. What is piore important about Berg than the fact that he is a champion of sorts is the part the little English battler is playing in restoring American faith in the sportsmanship of British boxers.

Bu United Press CHICAGO, April 4.—Johnny Rea of the New York Athletic Club, one of the greatest swimmers in America, knew today what it means to go down for the third time while hundreds of spectators locked on, and he had a Chicagoan who leaped into the Lake Shore Athletic Club pool in his evening ckuhes to thank for his recue. Rea, coming down the pool in the finish of the 220-yard breast stroke event, was seized with cramps. He went down in twelve feet ot water. As he came up he shouted for help, blit the cheering drowned his cry.

Martin Brings Purdue More Sports Laurels

Middle-Distance Runner Is Undefeated in Big Ten Competition.

Bu yHA Service LAFAYETTE, Ind., April 4. Not all of the limelight on Purdue university athletics during the 1929-30 season has been usurped by the Welches, Sleights. Harmesons. Murphys and Woodens of the Big Ten championship football and basketball squads, undefeated in their conference schedules. Orval Martin, unassuming middle distance runner, still is around. Martin broke into the glare of sensationalism in his sophomore year tvhen he crashed the Big Ten indoor record for the 880-yard run and won the mile run outdoors. In his junior year, he set anew indoor mark for the mile and captured both the mile and 880 in the outdoor games. The Boilermaker runner opened his final year of competition last fall by captaining the Purdue cross-country team and romping across the finish line ahead of the field in the Big Ten meet. Perhaps his greatest feat occurred during the past indoor season when he scored victories in the mile and half-mile runs of the Big Ten championships, establishing anew 880 record less than an hour after winning the longer race. All of Martin’s laurels have not come in Western Conference competition, however. A year ago he outclassed the field in the 1,500meter run at the Illinois Relays and set anew record. He went back again a few weeks ago and established anew mark in capturing the 1,000-yard run. Martin has never seen the tape broken ahead of him in Western Conference competition. He expects to keep his record free of defeat by winning one or two more races in the outdoor championship.

takes a lot to offset the unfavorable impression created by Phil Scott. Berg took tonight’s fight on a few days’ notice, after A1 Singer had injured his hand signing up for a title bout with Sammy Mandell and had run out on a bout with Ignacio Fernandez. Glick is a dangerous opponent, one who can hit. They are saying of tonight’s fight that Glick already holds a gymnasium decision over Berg, and is likely to break the little English whirlwind’s string of victories. But fights are not won in the gymnasium, and sometimes are left there. Berg, fast, game, and not likely to be disconcerted b ,r dick's unpleasant mannerisms, should win, and deserves to.

Boston Pug May Meet Griffiths Gagnon, Recent K. 0. Victor Over Tuffy, Sought for Return Go. Bu United Press CHICAGO, April 4.—Nate Lewis, matchmaker for the Chicago stadium, announced today he had offered Jack Gagnon, Boston heavyweight, 30 per cent of the net gate receipts to meet Tuffy Griffiths, lowa’s aspirant to the heavyweight crown, in a match here April 30. Gagnon, who knocked out Tuffy in six rounds at Philadelphia, has not answered the offer, Lewis said, although it was understood that Phil Buccola, Gagnon’s manager, had announced in Boston that the terms were satisfactory.
