WABASH PRIMED TO UPSET BUTLER IN NET RIVALRY TILT

9 Tilts on City Card Manual and Cathedral Renew Rivalry in Prep Net Feature. One of the most attractive cage programs of the season, including nine tilts, is offered city prep fans this week. Five contests are carded Friday and four on Saturday. An intra-city rivalry tussle, with Manual invading Cathedral, tops Friday's offerings. Tech, moving up among the Hoosier leaders, will seek added prestige at Martinsville, where the Green takes on the conquerors of Vincennes. Shortridge hopes to break a recent slump when the Blue Devils battle the Owls at Seymour. Washington’s improved Continentals, looming as a title contender, will be tested by Noblesville here, and Zionsville comes here to battle Lou Reichel’s Park tossers. Both Tech and Shortridge will appear on home hardwoods Saturday night against major foes. Butch Neuman’s fast-stepping Lebanon five, ranked among the state’s best, will oppose Tim Campbell’s pastimers at the east side court, while Glenn Curtis brings his Martinsville Artesians to the north side court to take on Kenny Peterman’s crew. Cathedral takes <he road to Ft. Wayne, where Joe Deinhart’s Irish snipers oppose Central Catholic, and Roland Jones takes his Washington Continentals to Bainbridge for action.

The committee, which held its first meeting here to discuss the ills of minor league baseball, voted Monday not to employ a field agent the coming Reason, but to allow each member of the committee to serve in that capacity in his territory. %

OFF THE BACKBOARD - BY VERN BOXELL

SOME charity-minded organization (and I am very suspicious that the kind souls also are basketball fans who would like to have something settled) has suggested a round-robin tournament to include Purdue, Butler, Notre Dame and Indiana or De Pauw. Butler has accepted, it is said, and the others are reported ready to fall in line. If anybody can get four of these teams into the same gym on the same night, they’ll have the filbert hanging from the rafters. Ole’ Backboard seriously doubts if such an affair can oe arranged, even j though he day-dreamed such an i event in one of his early appearanecs. But if they do, I hope they ; fix it up so Butler can play Purdue in the final game, ’cause Ole’ Backboard is anxious to see a real basketball game. tt n tt Underwood, Tnd., Dear Backboard—You all the time "Hoch i der Bearcats." But. Muncie didn't win ; that came with Alexandria. Mr. Pete Jolly won that came nearly a week in ! advance when he lauded Alex so fiighly. | Mr. .Jolly is cle-er. Knute Rockne was clp\*r that wnv. too. Wish Pete would restore the leaves to Rock's book DUKE OF KINDERBROOK. That vas written B. T. (before Teeh). Jf true, Mr. Jolly's contract should allow him mere space and more articles —he could have Included Tech. too. * tt a “Tech has the best team In the state*’ writes "The Cactus Plant."

Holdout Season Opens —Three Join Ranks

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.—Although the baseball holdout season is not considered officially opened until Dazzy Vance returns an unsigned contract and threatens to spend the rest of his life fishing in Homosassa, three major league stars have jumped the gun. These three are Bill Terry, New York Giants flfst baseman; Rick Ferrell, who catches for the St. Louis Browns; and Hack Wilson, right now of the St. Louis Cardinals. Terry’s refusal to accept the Giants’ terms came as no great surprise, for the man from Memphis has been refusing to fall in line ever since he started his major league career in 1925. The Giants, as usual, countered Terry’s demanded increase with the statement that he would sign according to the club terms or spend the summer in Memphis. It will be remembered last year when Terry held out Giant officials shrugged their shoulders and said,

Bill Terry . . . 40 per cent wage cut, too much.

Purdue Is Net Victor Bit Times Special LAFAYETTE, Ind., Jan. 12. A typical Purdue last-quarter drive enabled Piggy Lambert’s Boilermakers to stay in the race for the Big Ten basketball honors here Monday night with a 38-to-22 triumph over Doc Meanwell's Wisconsin tossers. Although the Lafayette crew took and 11 -to-1 lead at the outset and never fell behind, the Badgers made a spirited rally which brought the count to 18 to 12 at the half and 19 to 14 in the second period before the Boilermakers rushed into a big lead. Ray Eddy and Johnny Wooden dashed under the nets for points in the closing minutes, with the former getting six field goals during the fray and Wooden four. Purdue (381. Wisconsin (22).

board, and when they get to the city tournament, you’re going to see some real basketball. And when they send the reserves in, don’t be fooled, like some teams are. They're just as good as the varsity.” TWO LOYAL CONTINENTALS. And I was just thinking that way myself. tt tt tt Open sesame, and admit "Whiskey” to to the hall of fame. He picked Tech to beat Muncie and Washington (Indianapolis) to beat Morton of Richmond. Whatta man! And. says Whiskey. Washington could beat Ben Davis or Shortridge with ease! Who threw that? tt tt tt Popeve of Danville "thinks that the Red Warriors should have a little recognition." And Mr. Popeve is right. Danville has won eleven and lost three. Greencastle’s Tiger Cubs were the first to drop i Danville, and the second loss came at .Jeffersonville. It took an overtime for Plainfield to beat them Friday—and Plain- | field has the boys worrying over around I th-it way. tt tt tt “Our team is made up of veterans who I took part in the regional at Anderson 1 last year,” continues Popcye. “They ended the unbeaten record of Bainbridge a week ago. and a month prevlons, checked the undefeated Rockville team. That should give you something to talk about. I’d like to see the Red warriors stack up againsr one of your Indianapolis teams. Over here, we feel like they could take some of the glory.” tt tt tt "Give Messrs. Robinson. Blackwell and Reward eight weeks full of Martinsville, Greencastle, Cathedral. Rushville, Peru and Shelbyville. and Mr. Kenny Peterman will have everything dandy at Thirtyfourth and Meridian.” says Smilovitch. who explains: "This year's Shortridge team has been handicapned by lack of playing experience against first class opposition. with the exception of Brafford and DeWees. They've been the stars in most of the games." tt u tt "Don't you worry. Backboard. Shortridge didn’t blossom out until late last year, and they’re coming along all right this year. Give Seward some more experience and he’ll give any of ’em a real tussle. We’ll be seeing you again, Alexandria—at the regional,” writes Bob Netter. Shortridger.. Which makes Tech and Anderson just a couple of other guys. tt tt tt "Why don’t some team pile up a big enough lead' over Frankfort so the Hot Dogs can't beat ’em in the last quarter? iLet us ask 'em. vou answer 'em!.. I bet we do.” writes Popeye of Tech. (Popular guy. that goofy sailor. .He should write a column). "My big six—Muncie. Alexandria. Anderson. Washington. Lebanon and Tech.” tt tt a Three of a kipd—Mighty of Tech. Doug and Mabs. To them. Tech is supreme. That's what they write. Looks like we’ll have to get a trailer for the Tech band wagon. tt tt Which leaves us just twelve letters to go. Puh-leese, Mr. Mailman, bring me some mere. This is easy. Just copy ’em down and put quotation marks around em —fhat’s all I do. That gives me time to continue my search for Flossie. tt tt tt And Eddie of Shortridge suggests all Backboard contributors hold a big love-fest at the southwest entrance to the Tech gym on the day of the city tournament. “We’U serve raspberries,” says Eddie.

Just a Couple of Pals By United Press BOSTON, Jan. 12.—The verbal bomb expected when Jack Sharkey, local heavyweight challenger, met the world champion, Max Schmeling, here Monday night was a dud. Climbing into the ring with a grin on his face, the big Boston gob greeted Max with “How are you feeling?” in his best German. “Oh, fine, and how’s your family?” was Max’s response. The only reference to a fight came when Sharkey commented on the size of the house —about 10,000 —and Schmeling countered with “I hope we have a good house when we meet officially.” “Yes,” Sharkey replied, still grinning, “and it’s about time you snapped out of it and fought me.” The champion boxed three rounds with sparring partners.

“Let Terry hold out if he wants to. We have Sam Leslie, as good or better player than Terry, to take his place.” Later developments proved that Terry could hold an anvil under each arm and still show Leslie quite a few things about playing that first base. Terry received *23,000 last season. The contract he returned unsigned to the Giants Monday called for a reduction of approximately 40 per cent. Wilson, whose contract with the Chicago Cubs last season called for $33,000. returned unsigned the $7,500 contract offered him for his services during 1932 by the Cardinals. A reduction of approximately 75 per cent was a little too much, even for him. Ferrell, one of the coming catchers, is not exactly a holdout. But he has come out in no uncertain terms with the statement that he will not accept the contract offered him by the Browns if it calls for a salary reduction of *2,000, as reported.

JACK HENDRICKS, business manager of the Indians, returned from Florida Monday and reported that Sarasota, Tribe spring training camp, eagerly is awaiting the coming of the Hoosier pastimers. The ball park there is beginning to take on the appearance of a regular league diamond, Hendricks said, and according to Jack, will be one of the smoothest grounds in the sandy sunshine state. Norman Perry, Tribe owner, and Hendricks, made a brief stop in the little city on the west coast and then motored to Miami, Perry remaining. Hotel reservations for the Indians were completed while the Tribe officials, were in Sarasota. it u it Ted McGrew, Indianapolis umpire and formerly a star on minor league infields, will operate as an arbiter in the International loop this year, according to announcement made in New York Monday by William J. Manley, secretary-treasurer of the eastern Class A circuit. McGrew graduated to the National League from the American Association three years ago and drew a release from the majors when the big leagues included a redaction of umpires in their economy measures hy cutting active staff members from twelve to ten. McGrew is spending the off-sea-son in Florida supervising work on the Indianapolis club’s spring training park. tt tt tt The release of McGrew leaves Indianapolis with one umpire in the majors, Harry Geisel, who has been on the American League staff a number of years and who saw service in one world’s series. Harry is an International League product. McGrew’s friends here regret tc see him tiass out of the big show. He has been a popular figure in local sport circles and was one of the best arbiters developed in the American Association. The fact he quickly caught on with the International League is proof of his prestige in baseball. He was one of the "little world series” umpires in 1929. representing the A. A. along with Larry Goetz. - tt tt tt THE tug of war over 1932 contracts between players and owners in the major leagues is on officially. Hack Wilson was first to press- with a loud squawk, but owing to his poor 1931 record and other -difficulties, he was passed up as official holdout No. 1. Bill Terry, launched the counter attack by star pastimers late Monday with a red hot message to New York declaring himself when asked to accept a cut amounting to something like 40 per cent. His southern blood is boiling. Dave Harris, outfielder, first in the 1932 fold with Washington, says he received the same figures as in 1931. tt m Terrv was developed at Toledo under the guidance of Roger Bresnahan. He sp(*ined an ankle sliding to second one day and his wife hurriedly got out the family stationery and forthwith dispatched him a letter advising him to do the hitting and let the other players do the sliding. tt a tt * Denny Carroll. weU-known Paclfis Coast League trainer, has no grievance against the depression era. He has improved himself by a lucky break. After serving twenty-five years with the San Francisco Seals, he was given the gate recently and the other day was signed by the Detroit Tiger*.

Too Rough By United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 12. Prize fighting is a genteel sport compared with football in the opinion of Steve Hamas, former Penn State grid star who meets Tommy Loughran in a ten-rounder at Madison Square Garden Friday night. During three years of varsity football, Hamas explained today, he suffered a broken right wrist, a broken arch in his right foot, a torn ligament in his left shoulder, and lost several teeth. Nothing has happened to his anatomy during intercollegiate boxing competition or in thirty-six professional fights. Hamas, who received eleven letters (excluding those sent by coeds) for athletics at college, says football is “lots of fun,” but the roughest sport he ever has tried.

in 287 strokes, Smith received first prize of $2,000. Richly he deserved it, too, for he was three under par and four strokes ahead of his nearest competitors.

The veteran hurler has stirred the interest of Max Carey, new Brooklyn pilot, who is searching for a smart, ancient left-hander.

It is said Ownie Bush, 1931 Sox pilot, was refused permission by Comiskey to exchange outfielder Carl Reynolds and pitcher Tommy Thomas for outfielder Heinie Manush, infielder Buddy Myer and pitcher Irving Hadley. The winter trade between the clubs consisted of Reynolds and infielder Johnny Kerr for pitchers Hadley, Sam Jones and infielder Jack Hayes, the last named a weak hitting substitute. tt tt tt Bip leaguers back from the seventeengame barnstorming tour of Japan say the Japanese are swift afield .and on the bases, but have a weak attack and are poor hitters. The Chinese of Manchuria will dispute that statement. tt tt tt . Times are so touch that Kid Chisel has deserted Illinois street and has joined the Navy for a four-year stretch to work back into shape for another comeback in the ring, he says. The Kid has tried marathon dancing and hitch hiking, and has been at sea before—and apparently is still at sea. JUNIOR FIVES CLASH By.
