Off The Backboard BY VERN BOXELL

IN all the excitement of tonight’s games, Shortridge and Tech backers have overlooked Saturday night’s tussles, and they may contain a few surprises for the boys and girls. For instance, that Connersville team which Mr. Mose Pruitt is bringing to Tech gym Saturday night has been up and down like an elevator all season. They’re on the way up again, and if they catch Mr. Tim Campbell’s Techites all puffed out after that Newcastle thing tonight, they might ruin a good week-end. And Shortridge probably realizes that the trip to Shelbyville will be taking them into the den of one of Indiana’s most ferocious quintets. Tonight? Didn’t I tell you I was picking Tech and Cathedral? u u a Your correspondent has heard of many strange happenings In basketball. Rut when a referee loses his pants, it's more than I ran stand. Mr. Vaulin Russell, a Terre Haute whistler, was the victim, and Skinny Adams was a fellow-loser. It happened right here in Indianapolis, at the city series last Saturday. Vaughn was minus his best Sunday trousers, an overcoat and other trinkets, and Adams was nicked for a pair of stop watches and a five-spot. Asa result, Mr. Vaughn was forced to leave the Tech gym clad in the flannel trousers which all the well-dressed referees arc wearing, a dark blue coat and derby hat! Yes, they missed the derby. At that, he is lucky. Gandhi doesn’t even own a pair of pants. Up In the north, they’re singing the praises of anew hero. It’s General Rollins. Mr. Frank Cash’s six-foot two-inch freshman center with the Washingtons of East Chicago. The General is leading the western division of the Northern Conference in total points scored. He is the key man on Washington’s pivot plays and has been outjumped very few times. He controlled the tin-off against Lamb, Delphi s sixfoot seven-inch center, and scored five baskets and three free throws against the Oracles.

We think Shortridge Lil should send in anew rating of city teams.

YOU can tell by the grin that Pepper Martin, hero of the 1931 world series, is signed and satisfied. He recently put down his shotgun, called off a hunting trip and departed for St. Louis, where he signed a bigger, fatter contract to play with the world champion Cardinal#. Judging from the Martin smile, the salary figure must have been at least double the $4,500 that Pepper made a year ago.

Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.—1 t may even be that the temperance societies are back of the motor boat show now current at Grand Central Palace. Certainly it is evident that a studied effort is being made to get the country back on a rater standard. Scattered over the various floors are all varieties of sea-going craft. The exhibits range from blunt-nosed dingles to luxurious cruisers, done in the Park Avenue manner. Your correspondent was permitted to make a leisurely inspection of one of the better boats—the salesman referred to it ecstatically as a floating palace with every convenience a human could wish lor.” For the first time in years, I yearned to be human. Yet amid all the grandeur my soul was stirred by poignant grief. What are all the platinum blonds of the boom days doing for yachts now? Come to think of it they seem to have been auite overlooked in the general scheme for relief, too. At the very least, some humanitarian might start an outboard line for the dear girls. I notice the outboards, by the wav. are scaled down this year to prices consistent with the prevailing conditions. In case vou don’t know, an outboard is anything that floats, plus a motor hitched rn at the end. They tell me there’re a million of them in the country, more or less. You get a strange sensation walking hi to a vast hall and seeing a fleet of cruisers propped up on wooden supports. It is as if a lake had suddenly gone dry leaving a whole marine city marooned. Well, ihen maybe it isn’t. it tt tt THE news that Gar Wood had broken the world record for speed boats a few hours before, created a wave of excitement among the show people. It seemed the proper place for a wave of some kind, at that. “Better than 110 miles an hour” mused Mr. Wilbur H. Young, an old skipper and confirmed salt. “Well, well, well, that sure is going some.” Someone suggested that Mr. Young tell the time he set a speed record of 30 miles an hour. Mr. Young remained with his reveries. . “110 miles an hour. Yes, sir, that sure is traveling in the water.” Finally the story came out. It was back in 1903 when horse cars, rubber tire surries and steam boats still dominated the speed picture. Tom Day, a magazine editor, had heard ridiculous reports that speed boats were hitting it up as high as 15 and 18 miles an hour. There were unconfirmed rumors—sheer fantasy of course—that at times this speed was notched up to all of twenty miles an hour. To put an end to this tosh—and to get to the facts, if any—Mr. Day posted a cash price for the first boat so maintain the speed of twenty miles for one hour. And that’s where Skipper Young comes in. “I had a fair sort of a contraption with a three-cylinder engine and I was prettv sure I could keep it going an hour at good speed. So I took it down to Lower Bay off Staten Island and went after the prize. I~got the prize, though I didn’t actually win it. Just 100 yards from the finish the engine went dead. But Day was convinced anyway, because I had managed to maintain a 20-mile speed from the start.” STRIB, SCHAAF SIGNED Prominent Heavy Battlers in Chicago Scrap on Feb. 26. By United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 29.—Young Stribling, Georgia heavyweight, has agreed to Feb. 26 as a date for his ten-round bout with Ernie Schaaf, Boston, in the Chicago stadium. The bout was scheduled last December, but postponed when Stribling hurt his hand. SOX SIGN CARAWAY Young Pitcher Who Lost 24 Games Last Year Takes Terms. By United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 29.—Pat Caraway, Chicago White Sox southpaw, who tied with Sam Gray, St. Louis Browns, for losing the most games in the American League last season, has signed his 1932 contract.

Jackie Fields Regains Title From Brouillard

BY GEORGE KIRKSEI’ United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Jan. 29.—The world’s welterweight boxing championship was back in the possession today of Jackie Fields, Los Angeles, who wrested the title from Lou Brouillard, Worcester, Mass., in a ten-round bout before 11,203 persons in the Chicago stadium Thursday night. The

gate receipts were $28,270.24. Fields, who was born Jacob Finkelstein in Chicago twenty-five years ago, regained the title a year and eight months after he lost it to Jack Thompson in May, 1930. Fields first won the title from Joe Dundee on a foul at Detroit in July, 1929, and held it for nine and one-half months before losing it to Thompson, whom he had twice beaten before becoming champion.

Another Match Sought Brouillard, who won the title from Jack Thompson, held it only three months and four days, losing in his first attempt to defend it. In defeat, the 21-year-old slugger proved his courage by fighting his best after Fields had hurt him with several right hooks to the head in the sixth round, Nate Lewis, Chicago stadium matchmaker, hopes to stage another welterweight title bout within ninety days, with either Billy Petrolle, Jimmy McLarin or Brouillard as challenger. Fields Trained Hard N Fields, who is fond of night life, appeared in the best condition of many months. He trained religiously for three months preceding the battle. Until the sixth round the action was not sustained, but the last five frames were packed with furious rallies, toe to toe battling and spectacular exchanges. Brouillard was in distress in the sixth round, but came back to win the eighth and hold Fields even in the ninth. Lou lost the seventh and tenth.
