Talking It Over

BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. Dec. 12.—Sweet charity whistled a martial air today and 75.000 Krld fans responded by piling into the Yankee stadium to see Army play Navy and embarrass the editors of college papers. After all. 75.000 can't be wrong, even if Hoover did have a big majority. What t mean to !* that for t'ne aerond time since the historic break in their traditional athl*tc relationship, ihe lads from West Point and Annanolls met to aid the unemnloved and somethin* unward of *300.000 was realized as a tetult. Thev trer* meeting in a snort, which, in tactics and maneuvers is cioselv analaaous to the chosen profession of the Cadets. And thev were mertmr under conditions ail hut identical wt*h those the midshipmen will face when thev sail the high seas. The plaving field, which became a moist and muddv surface during th' round robin games of last Wednesday. had been turned into a veritable ocean of oozs under the rains of the oast few davs. That messv footing and the mark of the hea’v air. would not nnlv handicap the rival nlavers. but turn the greatest of all football spectacles into a rather drab spectacle. The same, as Is ever the case when Armv meets Naso?, followed the review of the corns of cadets and the regiment of midshipmen. At 12 o'clock vhe West Pointers, headed bv the mighty band from the Militarv Academv, entered the arena and conducted their Impressive parade and after soundin* roaring cheers ran at double time into their places In the grandstand. The midshipmen duplicated these maneuvers. Accompanying one group was Maud, the Armv mule, while Bill, the Navv Boat, capered in with the other. The mascots met in the middle of the field, with Bill shaking his eilded horns at Maud and the latter striving to execute an about face which would permit her gold heels a shot at the sassv goat. And. afier they had been .separated with no damage done. out. trotted the real gridiron sauads to engage In the preliminary warmup before the call to battle. U tt tt THE cadets, only two games removed from their sensational conquet over mighty Notre Dame, ruled the favorites in the pre-game wagering. The latter victory had tamned the team as one of the finest ever developed at the Militarv Academy, and a comparison of individuals showed Army in possession of the greatest triple threat back of the dav. in Rav Sleeker; the finest punter in Travis Brown, and the more rugged and talented line material, with 225-nound Jack Price. Army captain; Summerfclt. Suarez and Trice as Us outstanding members. But no Navv eleven ever was in better fettle for a service football engagement than that led on to the field bv Captain Tuttle, the Middle center. That team had climaxed an unimpressive early season with a smart victory over a strong Pennsylvania array last Saturday. It had in mind its fine work against Armv last year when only a single plav—one that shook Strecker lose for a touchdown run in the last period—was all that cave Armv the edge in the score. t It figured that, as was the case last December, the Cadets might be a trifle overconfident—a bit too sure of themselves—and expected to profit Just as many other teams nave profited this year. The atrocious field conditions, however, were not conducive to the sharp timing end aulek turning essential for the success of running plavs. The ball being coated with mud and slime was not an easy obiect to control in making forward passes or to corral when 'he pass was made. Weighted down with wafer and ooze, ♦he pigskin could not be punled as far as on a drv dav and receiving kicks was a most hazardous assignment. Because of thes conditions, the breads -the fumbles. Ihe miscued kicks and passes, etc.—became all important. A team favored in these would be almost stne of victory and there was no telling in advance which team would be Dame Fortune’s pet.

Battalino Knocks at Lightweight Title Door hi K. O. Win Over Courageous A1 Singer

BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Dec. 12.—Boxing fans today owed an apology to A1 Singer, the little Bronx Hebrew who "had every attribute of a real champion except .a fighting heart." For although the 21-year-old Singer, who won and lost the world’s lightweight championship before he attained his majority, lasted less than four minutes in his "comeback’’ attempt against featherweight champion Bat Battalino at Madison Square Garden Friday night, he effectively disproved the theory that he lacked courage.

MARION TESTS BLUE, TECH BATTLES ANDERSON

City Fives Lose Four Local Prep Quintets Win Only Two of Six Friday Battles. Their warm-up tilts passed, Shortridge and Tech, Indianapolis’ chief hopes for prep cage honors, face stern tests in feature hard.wood battles on local courses tonight. Marion, rapidly climbing into the spotlight after a few- lean years following the championship campaign in 1926, will test Coach Kenny Peterman's elongated pastimers at the north side gym. Anderson and Tech, whose comparatively new rivalry has developed to a high pitch, will renew their feud at the east side court. Under the leadership of Everett Case, former Frankfort mentor, the Indians have progressed rapidly after their opening loss to Lapel, and with a crew of tall cagers, give promise of developing into one of the state’s best quintets. Only two of the six battles Friday involving local fives were marked up on the victory side. Washington broke into the win column with a 26 to 20 decision over Mooresville, while Broad Ripple nosed out Warren Central, 19 to 17. Tech was outpointed by Jefferson of Lafayette, 36 to 26; Cathedral bowed to Danville in an overtime fray, 31 to 29; Ben Davis thumped Manual, 34 to 26, and Castleton edged out Park, 18 to 15. Twelve pastimers were used by Tim Campbell at Lafayette as the Tech mentor continued to seek a winning combination. Leßoy Edwards. the rapidly improving tall center, tallied twenty of the Green points on seven field goals and six free tosses. Tech trailed 13 to 11 at half time, with Young and Wallace setting the pace. After trailing 18 to 10 at half time, Danville, led by Ball, Fleece and Martin, rallied to tie Cathedral in the final minutes of play and triumph In the overtime. M. O’Connor and Ford were outstanding for the Irish in the thrilling encounter. Washington also used twelve pastimers in subduing Mooresville. Moth Foudrey. Bambch and Bright setting the pace, the Continentals broke into an 11 to 7 lead at half time, and held the advantage throughout tfie rough encounter. McCreary and Shrake starred for the visitors. Ammerman and Murbarger's stellar play enabled Broad Ripple to overcome Warren Central in a speedy contest. The Ripple tossers held a 12 to 6 advantage at half time and staved off a Warren Rally. Danner led the visitors. Manual failed to stop Starnes, Ben Davis center who tallied seven field markers, and dropped a 34 to 26 decision. Yosah, Yovan, Fox, Wolton and Stuart all tallied for the southsiders, but trailed throughout, 17 to 19 at half time. Symends, Woods and Tolan also performed well for the winners. Bolander’s six field goals accounted for Castleton’s 18 to 15 decision over Park school. Everly snagged three for Park.

Bought From Braves by Cubs

By United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 12.—Lance Richbourg. Boston Braves’ outfielder, has been acquired for the Chicago Cubs, Manager Rogers Hornsby announced touay. The trade was for cash and one player to be named later, probably during the spring training season. Richbourgh is 32, a left-handed hitter and a right-handed thrower.

Singer took a beating which would have made many a more sturdy rival quit, and although it doubtless marked the end of his career as a front rank fighter, it is to his everlasting credit that he was making a sincere effort to crawl to his feet for the fifth time when referee Patsy Haley stopped the bout. ana SINGER was down three times in the first round and twice during tfie thirty-one seconds of action in the second, and not once did he remain down to take advantage of a rest—his total of twenty seconds

Johnny Wooden LAFAYETTE, Ind., Dec. 12. Purdue’s hardwood team swings into action for the first time this season tonight at St. Louis, facing Don White's Washington university quintet in an intersectional encounter. Although the Boilermakers will present the same front that carried Purdue to the runnerup honors in the Big Ten last season, the squad remains an unknown quantity in the conference title calculations and tonight's game is expected to provide some index of the Boilermaker power. Johnny Wooden, all-America floor guard, again is expected to provide the spark of the Purdue attack and defense. Rudolph Tops Johnny Layton By United Press PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 12.—Erwin Rudolph of Cleveland, pocket billiards champion, and Frank Taberski of Schenectady, N.

The titleholder, in defeating Johnny Layton Friday night, set a r.ecord when he ran off 113 points in eighteen minutes. The final score was 125 to 55.

Easy Money By t nited Press ST. PAUL, Minn., Dec. 12. Jack Dempsey’s barnstorming tour packed in a capacity crowd of 13,000 here Friday night for his four exhibition rounds, but he failed to knock out his three opponents. Art Lasky, Minneapolis, went two rounds with the former world’s champion. He weathered several staggering blows Dempsey dealt. Angus McDonald, 215pound Canadian, and Jack Roper, St. Paul, stayed one round each with Dempsey. Receipts were $26,000 and Dempsey’s share was $12,000.

t Wabash college of Crawfordsville, Ind., a 'provisional member, also withdrew. Both Denison and Wabash believed they could not meet the competition of the association because present scholastic requirements are too high and the student bodies too small, De Pauw university of Greencastle, Ind., another school temporarily a member, indicated it would retain its present status at least until after the 1932 football season.

He batted .287 in eighty-seven games last season, and during his five years with the Braves averaged .311 in 619 games. Before joining the Boston club in 1927 he had trials with the New York Yankees, Phillies and Washington. Richbourg’s best batting average with the Braves, .337, was set in 1928 while Hornsby managed the Boston team. He batted .309 in 1927, .305 in 1929 and .304 in 1930.

Stove League BY EDDIE ASH THERE is a suspicion the baseball magnates are overdoing this thing called depression and are , taking advantage of conditions to put through some uncalled-for economy measures. Here and there several clubs lost money last year, but these same teams would have been in the red ink even if everybody had money. Their nines were | so weak the customers would have i been absent anyway. If the magnates are headed for the poor house why don’t they keep the price up in the clouds on their franchises? I Try and buy any big league club i for a song. tt it * Take the Pacific Coast League this year. Attendance was only 33,000 short of 1030 and the 1931 season was two weeks shorter than the 1930 schedule. Figure that one out and it is eveident the league drew better this year than during the previous campaign. Well, the star ball players over the land haven't had their say yet about the wage cutting hysteria. Most of them still are of the opinion the winning clubs have no grounds for grievance. tt tt tt Now that the big leagues have reduced their rosters to twenty-three (but not until June 15), the owners apparently want the fans to believe they are sacrificing something. Asa matter of fact, some of the major outfits seldom carried more than twenty-three in midseason. In the American Association the player limit is twenty and only a few clubs have been carrying the limit throughout the campaigns. However, agitation was launched a few weeks ago to reduce the A. A. limit to eighteen and this may be done n u tt IT would be well for A. A. clubs with pennant hopes to think twice before lopping off two athletes. Injuries and sickness may throw a contender out of the race at any time. Indianapolis won the pen- | nant in 1917 with a short roster, but ! was lucky to have Andy Lotshaw as traiher and used him to fill in at first base and in the outfield when the injury jinx struck. In the little worlds series that fall the Indians were compelled to gain permission to borrow Jay Kirke from Louisville to play first base in place of Jack Leary who was crippled. tt tt tt What a laugh will go up if the Cincy Reds ask pitcher and pinch hitter to accept a salary cut. He has been underpaid only about $25,000 during his career with that club, not counting worlds scries profits if he had been with a fiag winner. He won fourteen games and lost thirteen this year with the sub-cellar dwellers and four of his defeats were by one run.

The Cubs. Giants, Dodgers and other teams have made efforts to pry him loose from the Queen City time and again, but he has about given up hope of landing in the big money. tt tt tt WHEN any one asks Lucas where he plays ball, he avoids naming Cincinnati until cornered. The conversation usually goes as follows; “Where do you play ball?” “In the majors.” “Where?” “In the National League.” “What city?” “Cincinnati, damit!” tt u Detroit has obtained pitcher Pete Daglia from Oakland of the Pacific Coast League for a sum of cash and catcher John Grabowski. Daglia had an earned run average of 4.64 this year, worked 379 innings and struck out 132 batsmen.

Bulldogs Trip Aces Butler Vets Show Need of Work for U. S. C. Battle. Butler's veteran cage pastimers are in for some hard work. Although the Bulldogs won their opening encounter from an underrated Evansville quintet at the field house Friday night, 22 to 19, they displayed a ragged passing attack which needs some polishing before the Hinklemen take the Fairview hardwood against Southern California Tuesday night. Although all of the eight \ eteran letter men saw action, they failed to show the drive of the 1930-31 quintet. With more polishing the Butler tossers have prospects of a brilliant season. Coach Hinkle did not show any of his sophomore performers. Employing a tight defense, with Sadler and Hartke starring, the visiting Aces almost surprised the Blue pastimers, although the locals were pre-game favorites to triumph handily. Deep floor shots by Sadler and Sakel sent Evansville into an early lead, but Butler came back to take a 16-to-7 advantage at rest time. Tackett’s brilliant under-the-basket defensive play, and sniping of Miller, Chadd and Withrow provided the Elue margin. Most of Evansville’s shots were from long range. In the final stanza, the Pocket City pastimers outscored the locals, 12 to 4 7, with Sakel and McCutchon leading the attack. With the count standing 18 to 14 in their favor, the Bulldogs tightened, and held the margin until the final gun. Butler (22 >. Evansville .If> 1.
