Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Feb. 27,—“We11, I never expected it would come to this” . . . Mr. Dumb Dan Morgan stood propped up against the Fiftieth street side of Madison Square Garden, mumbling to himself. A heavy grief had enveloped him. A brief glance was enough to convince you of that. He looked bluer than an over-exposed blueprint. Now Mr. Morgan la one of my favorite Broadway characters, and I know that he is not by nature a morose or melancholy soul, and yet . . . well, a fellow can stand Just so much, and I happen to know that things have not been breaking any too well for Mr. Morgan in recent years. There were the hilarious old days of the fight racket, for Instance, when Mr. Mor£an handled Knockout Brown, Battling evlnskv and Jack Britton, great battlers and good money makers. Mr. Morgan was a personage In sports then, and a picturesque guy, too. He let the fighters do the fighting and he did the talking. He’d sit In the corner and spin yarns with the newspaper men while his bum was in there swinging away. You couldn't ahut him up. That’s how ne got that tag line—Dumb Dan. There Isn't much left of Mr. Morgan's once pretentious stable now. One or two kids fresh out of the amateurs and a couple of (rayed veterans. Mr. Morgan still goes down to the gymnasium—the iimmanasium, as he calls it—and watches hem fiddle around. Out of habit, I guess, or maybe because he hasn’t anything else to do. tt an MOST of his old pals have gone on or passed out of the game, and when you get old you miss ’em. Leo P. Flynn is under the sod. Scotty Monteith is in the west. Billy Gibson has called it quits. They were all members of the old guard* a roistering crew of amiable brigands, unincumbered by too many virtues or too many vices. Money didn't mean anything to them —not to Monteith, Gibson or Mr. Morgan, anyhow. Flynn had a commanding missus and a reluctantly acquired frugality. A fellow could always get action with Montcith, Gibson and Mr. Morgan. When they had It they’d bet you it wasn’t Tuesday. The three of them must have kicked a*ay a million or so. Even the town has grown away from Mr. Morgan. It’s bigger and better in some ways, but somehow it Isn't the same. X suppose towns never are when you look at them through the soft haze of memory. There was the old romantic Broadway ~ . Rector's .. . Jack’s place . . . Weber and Fields . . . Lillian Russell , . . Nat Goodwin I could fancy Mr. Morgan sneering, •‘and what have you got today? A Coney Island midway ... a lot of gyp joints in cellars .. . Cantor and Jessel .. . automats . . . Mae West .. . and Winchell.” tt u u I GLANCED again at Mr. Morgan and he had started down the street, toward the river, shaking his head, still muttering. Well!!!! Catching up with Mr. Morgan, I took him by the arm, and with some anxiety, said: “Come, come, Dan, things can’t be so bad as all this.” Mr. Morgan empaled me with a feverish eye. "What do you mean things can't be so bad as all this,” repeated Mr. Morgan, challenglngly. "O, I know how tough it is. how you miss the old gang and the old razzle dazzle but—’ 1 "Who said anything about the old gang. I don’t miss anything, but if I decide to take a smack at him, I won’t miss.” And then it came out. Mr. Morgan’s grief was deeper and more soul-searing than I could possibly have Imagined. The pride of his life, the baked apple of his eye, his one cherished hope for the perpetuation of the noble Morgan dynasty, his son. Dumb Dan Junior, had spurned the prize ring and joined out with a jazz band. "It wouldn’t be so tough, swallowed Mr. Morgan, "but he plays the saxophone and they tell me he croons like Vallee.”

IRISH FACE WASHINGTON IN TOP CATHOLIC FRAY

Jasper, Ft. Wayne in Other Semi-Final Tilt Favorites Survive Early Tests in Hoosier Title Play at Armory; Final Battle Opens at 8 P. M. Tonight; Aubin Hero of Academy Five. BY DICK MILLER Four favorites reached the semi-finals of the Indiana Catholic High School Athletic Association state basketball tournament at the Armory Friday and squared away for struggles this afternoon and tonight to determine the 1932 champion. Jasper academy scored a pair of triumphs to gain the second of day play. St. Simons of Washington, defending champion, and Central of Ft. Wayne each scored one decision. The fourth team, Cathedral of Indianapolis, titiist in 1928 and 1929, advanced by virtue of a bye, the result of Huntington’s withdrawal at the last minute. Washington's defending champions and Cathedral met in the feature battle of the tourney at 2 p. m. this afternoon. Both are title favorites, and the winner will be favored over the victor in the JasperFt. Wayne 3 p. m. Dattle when they line up for title action at 8 p. m.

Gibault of Vincennes put up a great battle against the vaunted Jasper team in the last game of the Friday night program and had the large crowd on Its feet throughout. Jasper won the decision, 35 to 30. Vincennes Battles The Vincennes boys stayed right with the Academy cagers throughout the first quarter, but when Oscar Aubin, the all-America forward, came into the fray near the close of the first half, he spirited his mates to a 14-9 lead. With Berger, the big Jasper center, looping them through, it appeared the Jasper boys would make it a rout, but near the end of the fray, Vincennes rallied and, led by Conrad and De Lisle, pulled up to within striking distance. Then De Lisle went out on fouls and Aubin pushed in a couple that gave the Jasper boys an edge before he retired from the fray. Berger scored eight field baskets and four foulline attempts for a 20-point total. The expected strength of Hammond failed to materialize and Central of Ft. Wayne appeared superior throughout, winning 24 to 11. Herr and Liable scored three field baskets apiece and the Central boys coasted through the fray, leading lp-5 at the half. Jasper was forced again to call upon their captain, Oscar Aubin,

They wil be followed by 335 teams from all parts of the country, and many of the nation’s leading bowlers will compete in the two weeks’ event. The first week-end of play will consist of local booster teams only, but on March 5-6, out of-town-boys will take over the drives and one great team after another will

Basketball

BY DICK MILLER Excitement ran at a feverish pitch throughout the Hoosier kingdom of basketball today as the Indiana High School Athletic Association announced schedule drawings for the twenty-first annual sectional, regional and final tournament play, which will occupy the next three week-ends beginning Friday and Saturday, March 4 and 5. A. L. Trester, commissioner, and the board of control, who drew the schedules before an audience of newspaper and press association representatives in the association offices in Circle Tower late Friday, announced that 77 teams will take part in this year’s event. This is an increase of one over last year, when 766 teams engaged in the classic. The sectional tournaments will find 8,204 boys in action, each team being allowed to use twelve boys this year instead of ten, the limit last year. There will be 153 referees and umpires handling the play in the sixty-four sectionals, according to Trester, with thirty-two handling the regional play and five the state final classic, making a total of 190 officials. Eight entries which would have made this year’s field far surpass the 766 of last year were rejected. The eight who got their blank in too late were: Fremont of Angola center, Morgan township of Valparaiso center, Rolling Prairie of La Porte center, Tippecanoe of Culver center, West Baden of Paoli center, Millersburg of Evansville center, Clay township of Peru center and Sugar Ridge of Brazil center. Coming alphabetically at the head of the list, the Anderson sectional was drawn first. With a representative from Alexandria on hand, the sectional was completed in rapid fashion. It disclosed that Anderson was to be the first team drawn from the hat and Alexandria the third, which meant to that inquiring gentleman that Anderson and Alexandria will tangle in the semi-finals on Saturday afternoon. The inquiring gentleman left for home satisfied and determined to tell the folks back home that everything was above board. Anderson was the first of several home center teams to find themselves coming out of the hat in the number position. Harrison Township drew Muncie for its first round opponent for the second successive year. Technical of Indianapolis meets its bitter city rival, Shortridge, in the second game of the local sectional tournament next Friday morning. Much interest was attached to the drawing of the regional play, where many of the top title contenders will pass from the picture. When the Indianapolis regional was drawn, Anderson came out in No. 1 position and the local sectional winner in No. 2. The winners at these two centers will meet in the first regional game at Tech gym Saturday. March 12, at 2 p. m. The same blow struck in the Sullivan regional, and calls for the opening tussle between the Washington and Vincennes sectional winners. A bitter vialry exists between the HaUhets and Alices, and •

who was not in uniform because of a cold, to help them subdue the fighting Memorial team of Evansville in the opening game of tl\e tournament Friday afternoon, to gain an edge of 25 to 21 after an overtime struggle. The Jasper boys, without the services of their star, led 13 to 9 at half time, Berger giving them an edge just before the gun. Don Ping’s proteges fought on valiantly and drew up to a 17-17 deadlock near the close of the game. Aubin hurried into his uniform and entered the fray. Evansville hung on and the score was tied at 21-all at the end of regulation time. Anderson Is Victim Decatur high, champions of 1930, presented more power than had been expected and forced the strong Vincennes team to the limit in the last afternoon game Friday, finally losing, 23-19. They were tied at 11-all at half time. Vincennes spurted ahead in the last minutes, after the score was tied at 17-all. Washington, the defending champion, experienced some trouble with the Anderson defense, but was able to solve it in the second half for a 24 to 4 victory. The score was 7 to 3 at half time. They held the Anderson boys without a field goal.

vie for the 1932 crown. Among the visitors to attend, the names of Leo Honeberger, Frank Kartheiser, Eder Schang, Joe Norris and Harold Allen stand out, and with the Pritchett alleys in great shape, new records for the meet are predicted freely. The K. of C. annual event has reached the importance of being second to the American. Bowling Congress in size, and with the sanction of the A. B. C., all record scores are rewarded by the parent body of the bowling game. Indianapolis is proud to entertain this meet and Dr. Paul Kemal, chairman of the entertainment committee has taken care of his duties in a fashion that will make the K. of C national association bid in favor of Indianapolis when the locals again go after this event. Preceding the opening at 9 p. m., a banquet will be held tonight at the Severin at 6:30, at which time Mayor Reginald Sullivan will deliver an address of welcome.

FULLER BEATS MILLER NEW YORK, Feb. 27.—Sammy Fuller, Boston lightweight, is ready to challenge Tony Canzoneri for the lightweight crown after punching his way to a convincing victory over the dangerous Ray Miller of Chicago here Friday night. BABE BUSTED IT UP A sixteen-inning game between the Yankees and the Tigers that Babe Ruth broke up with a long home run, was the longest contest of the 1931 American League season. great battle is expected if the favorites survive in the sectionals. Luck held again at Muncie, and the Bearcats, providing they win their sectional, will be pitted against Newcastle, barring a Trojan sectional upset, in* a first round regional tilt in the afternoon, and another capacity crowd is predicted. Muncie staged a great closing rally to beat the Hookermen in the opening regional game last year and went on to win the Hoosier crown. The Trojans and Bearcats each scored a triumph in scheduled season games during the present campaign. In the Indianapolis sectional action, the Tech-Shortridge struggle coming at 10 a. m. Friday should find tile big gym well filled. Both are the leading teams in the upper bracket, Washington and Southport being in the lower half of the draw and likely to meet in the second round Saturday morning. The Tech Blue Devil winner should reach the finals without much effort. In the lower half, Broad Ripple, Decatur Central and Ben Davis are among the chief threats to Washington and Southport.

Campbell Ready for Final Speed Dash; 5 Marks Beaten

By United Press DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Feb. 27. —Captain Sir Malcolm Campbell, after setting five world records in last three days, today planned one “last attempt” to beat his own automobile speed mark for. the mile. He failed Friday to improve it during the two most hazardous runs of his thrill-packed career. If beach and weather permit, the daring knight tHU speed his powerful racing car, Bluebird, today over the same white coral sands, where he shattered world records Friday for the five kilometers, five miles and ten kilometers. He was unable to improve the world figures he established Wednesday for the one mile and the one kilometer.

closer contest was assured. In the other two games tonight, Chicago plays at Ohio State, Michigan at lowa. , The Badgers’ home floor advantage is not believed great enough to offset the scoring ability of Johnny Wooden, all-America guard now leading the conference in individual honors, and his teammates, Eddy and Kellai. Four Minnesota players will make there final apearances on the home floor tonight in the game with Illinois, which seeks to supplant the Gophers in third place. Ohio State hopes to break the “jinx” which gave Chicago their first victory of the season, against the Buckeyes last week. State, playing on its own floor, is favored. lowa will attempt to stop Michigan’s scoring ace, Captain Norman Daniels, now third in individual honors.

Stribling Given Worst Lacing in Long Career by Slugging Schaaf

Bruising Bostonian Hammers Courageous Southerner’s Face to Ribbons to Register More Decisive Victory Than Schmeling; 11,000 Fans See Scrap. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Corresoondent CHICAGO, Feb. 27. Thirteen straight victories behind him in nine months, Ernie Schaaf, big bruising Bostonian, today aopeared headed for a shot at the world’s heavyweight championship before the end of the year. Schaaf, a magnificent athlete weighing 209 pounds, administered to W. L. Stribling, pride of the old south, the worst beating of the Georgian’s career in a ten-round bout before 10,925 persons in the Chicago stadium Friday night. The gate receipts were $29,381.60. The decision was unanimous.

Outweighed twenty pounds, conceding Shaaf height, reach and every other physical advantage, Stribling made one of the gamest stands of his long and Checkered career, numbering some 330 battles. Stribling, who weighed 188, was beaten by a wider margin in ten rounds, and still on his feet, than he was by Max Schmeling when their title bout was stopped in the fifteenth round at Cleveland last July and awarded to the German on a technical knockout. Strib Down in Fourth Schaaf dropped Stribling with a series of short rights to the head, and left the Georgian sitting in the ring bewildered and glass-eyed just as the bell ended the fourth round. Stribling sat there more than ten seconds, while his handlers were negligent in rushing to his aid. Coming out for the fifth round, Stribling, still showing the effects of the jolts he had taken around his head in the previous round, made a courageous but desperate rally, which momentarily turned the tide back in his favor. It was the Georgian’s final bid for victory. Through the last five rounds Schaaf slowly cut the handsome southern boy’s face to pieces and beat him in every conceivable way. The big protege of Jack Sharkey actually did a more thorough job than did Schmeling last summer, and in a lot less time. W. L. in Hospital After the bout, Stribling was taken to a hospital where he had four stiches taken in a cut under his right eye and three stitches taken in a wound under his left eye. Both eyes were swollen almost shut. His lips were bruised and cut, and he was a pitiful looking figure. He wasn’t marked about the face after his defeat by Schmeling. During the ninth round, Schaaf opened up a terrific drum fire of fists and had the Georgia boy reeling unable to defend himself. The crowd reluctant to see the slaughter, yelled for Referee Dave Barry to stop the fight. When Barry looked at Stribling, the Georgian shook his head and muttered: “I’m all right.” Stribling was gushing blood from the cut under his right eye, bleeding from mouth and nose and too weak to hold Schaaf in a clinch. Only the southerner’s stout heart carried him through the blistering battle. Battles After Bell At the end of the sixth round, Schaaf hit Stribling with a left hook after the bell rang and had to be led to his comer by the referee. Again in the seventh round, Schaaf kept punching after the bell and was grabbed by the referee, Stribling started strong, winning two of the first three rounds, using an effective left jab and landing several hooks which jarred up the Bostonian. The knockdown in the fourth round marked the turning point of the battle. From then on Stribling fought on his courage alone. Sharkey seconded Schaaf, and gave him most of his instructions between rounds. Jack Dempsey attended but left after Stribling was knocked down.
