Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Jan. 25—It Is so seldom that I get a chance to *ay it that I can't refrain. I mean I told you that guy Billy Petrolle can fight. Just turn over in your mind what he did to the promising young Eddie Ran. who, if you are able to believe the press notices, was to have wed a Polish princess if he won the fight in the Garden last Friday night. Petrolle happens to be mv favorite Tighter or the moment and on fop of that 1 . J n 18 one °* fbe most underrated fighters that has come into the game In a number of years. I dor. t think he would have any trouble winning the welterweight championship from that fellow named Brouilliard who seems to be strictly a back-room-made champion, and if he cared to. it probably would be easy for him to win the lightweight title from Tony Canzonerl. He tells me he can make the weight without trouble. That's •bout ail he has to do. It may be that Petrolle will never be a champion, either of the welterweights or the lightweights. If that comes to pass you can blame it on the New York boxing commission. You can if vou want to take the commercial angle. Petrolle is one of the biggest attractions in boxing. Yet if he fights for either championship he must, by the laws of the commission, take the miserly end of the purse. A great card a fighting fighter. Petrolle. meeting either Brouilliard or Canzonerl. would be forced to take a third less than his opponent. I don't want to break down and weep about this, but tl doesn't seem Wholly right. tt tt tt CHAMPIONSHIPS don’t mean much any more. About the only title distinction that survives is the heavyweight. In some way the big fellows have managed to keep beef on the gold standard. I doubt that one reader out of fifty can name the present champions in all divisions without consulting the record books. I hope not, anyway. There are so many things wrong with the country that I should hate to add this particular mental eccentricity to the list. And besides it would be one thing you couldn’t blame on Hoover. Only the champions survive in posterity. But posterity is not an accurate record of greatness. It is unfortunate, but true, that there Is not a wide difference between posterity and publicity. Many a cauliflower has been born to blush unseen, etc For all anybody knows. Petrolle mav be one of the greatest fighters the ring ever knew. To look at him he has evervifnng Battling Nelson had nlus punching ability and an enthusiasm for the business at hand. Yet such is the enduring appeal of history that Nelson always will outrank Petrolle. no matter what the Fargo Express. as he is called, does in the future. There still lingers with me a youthful admiration for Napoleon, but in the World War. it Is conceivable he might not have got beyond the status of a message bearer.

King Ready for Mitt Test Against Rose at Armory

Jack King, flashy young junior welter who whipped Harry Dublinsky at the armory two weeks ago, indulged in light training over the week-end for his match in the legion ring Tuesday night ' h Billy Rose of Cincinnati. Since his scrap here with Dublinsky, King held Peewee Jarrell to a draw at Muncie. It will be King’s second clash with Rose, and he realizes that it will be a grueling tussle, their first battle having been close and hardfought. Joe Altman of Cincinnati, manager of Rose, informed the legion matchmaker today that his protege

Off The Backboard BY VERN BOXELL

THAT old adage, “A good big man is better than a good little man,” is having a tough time holding its own out at Tech. Leßoy Edwards is very big, and as basketball players go, he is good. Wayne Huston is just a little guy, and he, too, is good. But without Huston, Edwards just was another big basketball player wondering what to do Saturday night when Mr. Tim Campbell's proteges won their third consecutive city series crown. When Huston pulled out the splinters and went to work at forward for Tech in that final game with Washington, he put life into a listless Tech team. Edwards began getting the ball where he could do something with it, and Mr. Campbell’s boys beat the Continentals, 26 to 22.

And the wise boys who were figuring Tech as an easy sectional winner are reconsidering today. For three-quarters. Howard—l mean Washington—outplayed Tech every step. Mr. Harold Sherman and Mr. Jona- I than Brooks, who write these books about the high school heroes, could scribble a good story about Howard, the scrappy Washington forward. Nothing much has been said about him. but when the going got tough In the city tournament, he was the boy that pulled ’em through. He scored five field goals against Tech j In that final game and three against j Shortridge in the Continentals’ first start. He figured in three-fourths of the plays against Tech. 000 Tech's defense in the first half was full of holes, and white-clad Cf ntlnentals swarmed all over Gladden, the Tech back guard. The big bov took care of most of ’em. but fouled himself out of the ball game before the intermission. It was a case of too many ball players for one fellow to watch, and if Mr. Roland Jones’ pastimers had been in a mood to make a good percentage of their shots, the count easily could have been more than 13 to 12. Washington, at the half. Although Tech connected on four of eight shots in the third ouarter. including three consecutive pivot efforts bv Edwards, Washington still led 20 to 19 at the threeouarter post. Two more field goals by Edwards in the fourth quarter, and one by Townsend enabled the green warriors to wind up with a 26-to-22 decision. 000 Throughout the first half. Bright. Washington’s center, kept talking to the referee, and I'm wondering if that’s what thev call Bright sayings? 000 And ole’ Backboard still believes that Mr. Tim Campbell has the stuff whenever he cores to bring it out. even if Washington did have the big boys trotting around In circles most of the evening. 000 IT took a police escort to get Mr. Burl Friddle, the Washington Hatchet coach, safely out of the Bedford goal house Friday night. It seems that burly Burl got himself in bad after his Hatchets had taken a 20 to 19 punch on the whiskers at Bedford, which, incidentally, was the third one-point loss for the Hatchets this season. 0 0 0 Grady Bennett, the Bedford scribbler, gives the Stonecutter angle on the affair. It seemi to have started when Washington defeated Bedford a few weeks ago. After that game. Mr. Friddle is said to have walked onto the floor and shook hands with Floyd Wever, one of Mr. Charles Ivey’s star ball players, with a few cutting remarks tossed in. When Bedford beat Washington last Friday. Wever had a particularly profitable evening, and according to Bennett, decided to show Mr. Friddle that wisecracks alto could be concocted by high school 1 basketball players. He walked (or ran. or hopped and

EXAMS CHECK HOOSIER COLLEGIATE CAGE ACTION

8 Tilts on Week’s Bill Notre Dame Thumps Pitt for Seventh Win in Row. Indiana's collegiate hardwood warriors were worried by exams today and only eight contests are carded for this week. Butler, Notre Dame, Purdue, Indiana and De Pauw all are out of action. Central Normal goes to Terre Haute tonight to tackle Indiana State and invades Muncie Wednesday for a game with Branch McCracken's Ball State five. Irish Are Speeding George Keogan’s Notre Dame tossers continued their brilliant form Saturday and the Pittsburgh Panthers were the seventh straight victim of the Irish snipers, 25 to 12. Captain Norb Crowe, performing at guard, tossed in four two-point-ers to' lead the Irish attack. De Cook and Krause also performed well for the victors and Kowallis and Lawry scored two fielders each for Pitt’s only two-pointers. Quakers Coast Earlham took an early lead and coasted to a 30 to 20 decision over N. A. G. U. in another Saturday fray. Indiana Central, with De Jernett and Emig setting the pace, thumped Hanover here, 26 to 15, and Ball State continued its speedy pace by knocking off Evansville, 26 to 19, with a last half rally led by McCammon and King. Rose Poly bowed to Wilmington, 25 to 19, and Huntington college swamped Anderson college, 20 to 9. Other games this week: Thursday—Oakland City vs. Anderson college at Oakland City. Friday—Valparaiso vs. Manchester at Valparaiso; Evansville vs. Hanover at Evansville. Saturday—Wabash vs. Miami at Crawfordsille; Earlham vs. Dayton university at Richmond; Oakland City vs. Hanover at Oakland City.

is in good shape and anxious to turn the tables on King, who edged out a hairline decision the first time they met. Local fans last saw Rose in action here in October, when he defeated Jackie Purvis. The supporting card for Tuesday night looks especially interesting. The Veney brothers of South Bend, Golden Gloves winners in the northern Indiana tourney last year, will meet Glen Camp and l Steve Rosina, Golden Gloves winders at Kewanee, 111.; Young Stuhley, another Kewanee pug will take on Rosy Kid Baker in the semi-wind-up, and Roy Nidy and George Downey will mix in the opener.

skipped or something) to the Washington benb, and no doubt he bad a very good comeback all ready for utterance. But Mr. Friddle, according to Bennett, did not care to continue the hand-shaking episode which he is said to have started after the first Bedford game, and motioned, pushed or helped Wever on his way. Bedford fans who witnessed the Incident decided to take up the cross for Wever, and closed in on Mr. Friddle. There were hot (and other kinds) words exchanged before Mr. John Law and Mr. Charles Ivey rushed to the rescue. That's Bedford’s story. It might be added that Bedford felt none to friendly toward Mr. Friddle anyhow, seeing as hew his team tried to stall the last five minutes of the game. 0 0 0 When Shelbvville trounced Greensburg Friday. 39 to 13. the Shelby scoring was divided as follows: Lackey and Gunning, forwards, three field goals each; Shepple. center, three field goals; Reimann, guard, two field goals, and Wright, guard, three field goals. It would take a five-man defense to stopo a ball club like that. 000 Mr. Pete Jolly's effort to test anew Bearcat combination against Frankfort was unsuccessful. He started Murray and Schuck. sophomores, at forward: Mann at center. Rivers at floor guard and Kleinfclder at back guard. But Mann, the giant Negro, and Locke, Frankfort’s brilliant back guard, left the game at the outset when they indulged in a private free for all. Shuck moved up to center for the Bearcats. That new combination means that Mr. Jolly will have two long range snipers back there at guard who can spot 'em in if given a chance. And since Schuck played forward with the 1931 championship quintet, that position is not new to him. 000 Your correspondent hopes that the little guy who bet him I to 25 that Alexandria would win the state read in the papers about that 19 to 17 pasting which Anderson handed the Trojans—at Newcastle! Kessler, the eagle-eye forward, who beat Muncie with his one-handed efforts, repeated against the Trojans. It's getting to be a habit with Kessler. Mr. Everett Case’s latest star. 000 Shortridge vs. Cathedral at Butler gym Friday. Is there a doctor in the house? 000 Dear Vern—l’ve been deeply bored by the comments of some of the Tech writers. Somebody said Tech lost to Southport last year because the Cardinals fell into the lead and then let the coach tell them how to stall. Fact is. Southport led all the way. except when Tech tied the score. Tech Just doesn’t have what it takes when the breaks are not coming their way. Many people would laugh if vou mentioned Southport in a basketball argument, because they’re lust a countv school. But vou'd read more about them if thev could get a crack at Muncie. Alexandria and a few others. Southport boasts five real ball plavers— Schaeffer Waddell. Braham and tamb. The latter held Edwards scoreless last vear in the sectional And I lust want to tell Tech that SouthDort has won onlv sixteen out of seventeen games. I. U. 000 Dear Backboard—l don't see how any team can be given or taken until it has Slaved the Fightin’ Irish of Cathedral tike O'Connor, the man who puts ”J” in jump, can outpivot Edwards and Seward Don t give him free throws. He has a terrible percentage of missing two out of thirty odd attempts. Russ Sweeney, captain; Irishman and everything else that it takes to make a real basketball player, does everything but drop-kick the ball into i the basket and I understand he is trying j this as an added attraction. Johnny Ford. cool, calm and quick, could settle anv excited team to room temperature, and can he hit ’em under the basket Eddie O’Connor helps All out a team that can’t be outfought. When his cheeks get red, then Eddie is on fire and hard to stop. Chuck Markey rounds out a faithful squad. He is a one-shot artist and the slipperiest forwards can't get away from him. QUILL. 000 Dear Backboard—Southport and Decatur Central are teams to be feared. Southport is gj good as Shortridge or ™>ch. The city TchooU better watch their step. RIPLEY IL

4 Big Ten Teams Play By United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 25.—Michigan travels to Ohio State Thursday for one of the two Big Ten basketball games this week. Mid-term examinations have sidetracked the athletes temporarily, the only other game this week bringing together Chicago and Minnesota at Minneapolis Saturday. Fight to Stick Ohio and Michigan will be fighting to remain in the title race. Ohio nosed out by Northwestern, 25 to 24, Saturday, is tied for second place with Minnesota. Michigan lost to Minnesota 30 to 26 and another loss Thursday would definitely eliminate the Wolverines as title prospects. Northwestern pulled through the first half of its season without a loss, chalking up six victories, three by a one-point margin. The ’Wildcats have yet to face Purdue in two games and must face two of their one-point victims, Ohio and Michigan, on the latters’ own floors. Chance for Illini Minnesota has the easiest path ahead and should coast through Chicago, lowa and Wisconsin without trouble, but may be extended in two games with Illinois. The Illini still have an outside chance, but must get past the Gophers, Ohio and Purdue. Purdue, pre-season favorite, is trailing the leaders as a result of Illinois’ upset early in the season.

—Stove League Chatter — BY EDDIE ASH

This winter is setting a record for ball players starting the condition process weeks ahead of the regular training period and from all indications exhibition games this sprng will find the athletes right in the pink. The mild weather during the first half of the winter permitted the idle pastimers to spend much time in the open and there are two other reasons for the heavy winter training fad. One is the cutting of the player limits and the other is the slashing of salaries. In other words, the old survival of the fittest rule is facing the boys and nobody wants to be left out on a limb. a Rube Benton, ancient southpaw flipper ot the Minneapolis Millers, tells Cincinnati friends “he is looking forward to one of his best seasons.” Rube has been on the brink of the baseball grave more than once and few diamond followers expected him to last through 1931. He fooled the world again, however, by hanging on all years, winning thirteen games against the same number of defeats. Rube pitched 209 innings and an earned run average against him per nine inning game was 4.61. He saw service in thirty-six games. Moreover, the old boy declares he will ‘‘pitch his head off” for Ownie Bush, new Miller pilot. tt tt tt Bob Parham, the rookie outfielder sent to the St. Louis Cardinals by Brooklyn in the Hack Wilson purchase, batted .327 for Hartford in the Eastern League last year and led the circuit in triples, with eighteen, in runs scored with 105, and in stolen bases with thirty. He was a regular and played in 135 games, collecting 168 hits. His doubles total was thirty-four and home runs eleven. In other words. Parham was a prominent figure in the down east loop. Harry Rosenberg, now of Indianapolis, battle .329 in the same league in 71 games and stole 11 bases.

respect. Five of his victories were shutouts. Perhaps weak stickwork on the part of the I. L. batsmen had something to do with good pitching by veterans. Clayton Von Alstyne, a bust with Indianapolis, won seventeen and lost seven for Reading, working sixteen complete games. n tt tt Bib Falk, new manager of the Toledo Hens, appointed by Cleveland, is listed as a playing pilot. He is a lefthanded hitter and turned in a mark of .301 m the American League last season. Bib saw little service, however, being used chiefly as a pinch hitter. He served in the outfield in only thirty-three games and was at bat only 161 times. It will be Falk’s first experience as a manager and his success will depend largely on the quality of talent Cleveland ships him to bolster the Toledo tailenders. tt tt a Fred Leach, the ’ Idaho Potato,” outfielder with the New York Giants, apparently needs no farm relief. Fred has returned his contract with the declaration he will remain on his farm near Jerome, Idaho, rather than accept the terms offered by the John McGraw clan. When tirpe arrives to get out and follow the plow Leach may change his mind. Jack Scott, the old pitcher, once held out on the Giants and reported at training camp anyway, but was cut off the club dining room free list. Scott owns a sharp and heavy appetite and when he gazed in the hotel window day after day and saw his mates consuming big steaks and other choice food he was not long in making peace with the manager. tt tt tt Pepper Martin is singing a welcome to 1932. The phenom of the 1931 series signed his new contract Saturday and announced that the Cardinals took care of him in a big way. It is believed the champions rewarded the Pepper Pot with an amount nearly double the 1931 figures. He drew $4,500 last year and was given SSOO extra by Owner Breadon. Martin declared he won’t permit fame to take charge of his head and that he’ll be the same John out their hustling and trying for base hits. tt tt tt IF Babe Ruth is wise he’ll take a tip from Curt Walker and switch from right field to left when he plays in Indianapolis with the Yankees against the Indians on April 6. Walker built up a great reputation as a sun fielder in the majors and seldom was fooled by the ball of fire in A. A. gardens until last September out at Perry stadium, when his prestige was shattered. It proved the hardest right field ever patroled by the veteran, and he wasn’t alone discovering that fact. tt tt tt The business depression is sun-kissed for Johnny Dobbs, veteran Southern Association pilot. He was ousted by the Atlanta club and collected full pay for 1932. 89,000. At any rate that’s what Dixieland papers say. It’s hard to figure a class A manager pulling down that much currency, but Dobbs is famous in that territory. Red Barron, former Georgia Tech half back, succeeded Johnny as Cracker pilot. He is an outfielder. Bobby Jones of, golf fame is one of the directors of the Atlanta team. It fs said Dobbs may catch on with Chattanooga as coach and assistant, in which event his earnings for 1932 will reach about $12,000.
