Off The Backboard

BY VERN BOXELL SIXTY-FOUR of the 767 cage teams who started out to win Mr. Ishaa's 1932 basketball title •till are In the race. The now assume the role of spectators. Mr. Tim Campbell and his Tech boys came out on top in the local action, and to date nobody has broken down with surprise. It was expected, even by the columnists. And today Mr. Campbell and pis boys start worrying about Alexandria. I don’t think I’ll be taking (. bag ofl ?£e cat by saying that Mr. Campbell probably would rather play Anderson than Alexandria even though there were a lot of oh's and ah’s when Mr. Red Orner’s Tigers knocked ofl the high and mighty men of Case in the sectional a a a In <•** Tour memory fall* you. Mr. Orni*r' Alexandria hov* are of the laree variety, while Mr. Case'* Indian* were what the aport* writer* rail "small hut f*t." Furthermore. Mr. Orner’ Tl*rr* aln know how to eet around the hardwood with more than averaee celerity and dexterity, even thouch a rounle of the hov* *et more than a nrnnv'* worth when thrv *trn on the rle. for instance, I am told that Welcome, the xwift-drihhline. harri-craxhine. ure'hootlnr. atop-'em-dead cuard. eet* the little hand tin over the 300-ftnund mark.

Against Alexandria, bln Lrßov iTwenty Points! Edwards may net 'lie tln-off but the aforementioned un■eicome Welcome may come crashing through to steal the leather. And you can't arrest the short. Dants bovs for stealing tin-offs on the hardwood. And I am not forgetting Danville, either, berause they carry some big bovs, too. According to word from over that way. they arc coming to Indiananolis with hopes of catching the Tech-Alexandrla victor bv surprise and a little worn out from the afternoon exertion. That is. nrovidtng Danville gets bv Westland, which fs the ouantltv X to me because I was exnectinc Greenfield to come over and olav with our bovs. tt tt tt WHILE the boys are moaning about Anderson and Martinsville, chief victims of that ole’ debil upset, your correspondent is shedding big, salty tears for Jeffersonville. The Francismen don’t get the breaks, and when New Albany cracked the Demons in the sectional, the fans lost a chance to see a mighty good team in action. As for Martinsville, I am feeling very sorry for Mr. Glenn Curtis. It has been a more or less known fact that Mr. Curtis did not have any Woodens, Eubanks or Suddiths this year, but most of us thought the old wizard would pull ’em through. a tt u That Bloomington sectional will be well i represented by Monrovia... .That's the; place Mr. Branch McCracken put on the j basketball map several year* ago, and I they refuse to get off. ...Wiley of Terre J Haute had a tough time, and pulled a mild | upset by dumping Garfield, the city rham- j pinnx. . . .

TRIBE ASKS WAIVERS ON VETERAN BILL BURWELL

Slab Star Will Not Be Seen in Hoosier Uniform, Perrv Asserts

Hurler Refuses Indian Terms, Fails to Make Deal With Another Club; Curt Walker Signs; Gale Hits Sarasota and Tribesmen Get Rest. BY EDDIE ASH Time* Snorts Editor ' SARASOTA, Fla., March 7.—lndianapolis fans have seen the last of Bill Burwell, veteran pitcher, in an Indian uniform. He is out. The Tribe club officials made this statement today with the announcement that waivers have been asked on him. According to the Tribe bosses. Bill was granted permission to make a deal for himself, with three days ot grace, and he failed to confer with them or make any kind ot a statement'. He wintered in Sarasota where the Hooslers are in

spring training, and when the week-end rolled around and there was no sight of him, Owner Norman Perry reached the conclusion the veteran righthander did not care to play with Indianapolis. Ferry said he offered Burwell what is supposed to be “tops” for salary in the American Association and also gave him freedom to arrange his own transfer, owing to the fact the screw ball hurler has been with the Indians since 1923 when Jack Hendricks was manager. The limit of three days given the pitcher to plan his own transaction terminated Saturday night. But President Perry extended the privilege until today before asking waivers and adding that under no circumstances would Burwell perform for the Indians during his ownership. It is said that Burwell declared he was

I*-^

Burwell

“not appreciated” in Indianapolis and Owner Perry “went to bat” for the Hoosier capital on that assertion. The veteran hurler, it will be recalled, has been boosted to the skies in Indianapolis even through periods when he had the misfortune to be incapacitated by illness during the regular enoenn nf 4 Vw, nnof ..a...

j season of the past two years. Manager Emmet McCann natur- , ally is disappointed over the Bur- ! well incident, for the verdict of ! owner Perry means that a mainstay pitcher has been removed from the staff. McCann said he first would try to trade Burwell, and failing in that he would endeavor to sell him. The waiver price in the American Association is $3,000. He can be “claimed” within a day. Gale Hits Sarasota Pilot McCann gave his pastimers a day off Sunday, and he made a good guess; There was too much wind. A gale hit Sarasota Saturday night and it reached hurricane proportions, bringing all the ball players out of their rooms to the hotel lobby. It was a dizzy night for the rookies. The family of Phil Weinert, Louisville pitcher, and the family of Babe Ganzel, Minneapolis player, were among the group rescued from the vicinity of the Lido Beach district. The water in the bay swelled and hopped up near Tribe headquarters, a block from the sea walls. The Indians entered their ninth day of practice today and everybody was in good shape and health except Bob Logan, rookie pitcher, who is hobbling about on a bad ankle. Curt Walker Signs Outfielder Curt Walker, another regular .300 hitter, checked in at camp Sunday night and signed his i contract today. Outfielder Harry j Rosenberg wired that he had ac- j ceptcd terms and would be on hand j by Wednesday. Manager McCann planned to divide the squad today for a game of about five innings, calling one team the Pelicans and the other the Gulls. It was to be the first actual game action of spring. The regular exhibition schedule will open Thursday when the world champion St. Louis Cardinals invade Sarasota to tackle the Indians. TONY, DUBLINSKY SIGN CHICAGO. March 7.—Tony Canzoneri, lightweight champion, and Harry Dublinsky, Chicago, were signed today for a nontitle tenround bout at Philadelphia, March 28.

One of the most popular pastimers with Emmet McCann’s Indians during the 1931 campaign was Fred Bedore, the star utility man. Bedore is working with the spirit of a rookie at the Tribe camp in Sarasota, Fla., and may crowd his way into a regular berth. Hoosier officials regard him as one of the most valuable assets on the squad. He performed in a pleasing manner at first, second and third last season. He also worked a few games in the outfield and got his share of hits.

Burning Blaze, Sprint Star, Threat in Kentucky Derby

BY THOMAS H. NOONE United Press Racine Editor NEW YORK, March 7. The Shandon farm’s Burning Blaze is the chief hope of the west for the Kentucky Derby. This squat, shaggy chestnut son of Big Blaze and Mexican Tea ranks second to Top Flight as a juvenile money winner last year with earnings of $83,625. Asa 2-year-old, Burning Blaze was an ungainly fellow, being solid chestnut in color with no discernible markings. He has an awkward stride, but nevertheless has a high order of speed, particularly over sprint distances. The excellent record of Burning Blaze in 1931 affords ample justification for his being one of the choices at odds of 20 to 1 in winter book betting on the Derby. Victorious in half of his twelve starts, he also finished second twice and was once third. Burning Blaze’s first major stake success was in the six furlong Post and Paddock stakes at Arlington. He beat Morfair by a nose in that $25,000 added fixture, while such good ones at Liberty Limited, Phantom Legion, Osculator and Tick On finished in the rear. Second in importance as well as 1

Tech, Local Sectional Winner, Battles Alexandria in Regional

The Campbellmen captured the Indianapolis sectional championship Saturday night with a 28-to--14 victory in the final game of the two-day tournament held at the Tech gym. They regained the position they relinquished to Shortridge in 1931, when the Blue Devils carried on to win the regional at Anderson and take a berth among the select sixteen at the state finals.

set Anderson, in the first game at 2 p. m. With Anderson eliminated, Technical, heretofore regarded as a dark horse in the race for the state championship honors, becomes a bigger favorite now. Anderson, with its crafty coach, Everett Case, who had directed many a championship team and contender at Frankfort and its fast-breaking attack, was considered far more of a threat to Tech than the Alexandria team, although Red Omer’s team has an impressive season record. The winner of the Tech-Alexan-dria game hardly can feel they have the regional title in their pocket, because the two other teams in ths regional, Danville and West-

Purdue, New Big Ten Champ, Faces Chicago Boilermakers Thump Wildcats to Gain Sixth Cage Crown in Thirteen Years; I. U. Meets lllini Tonight; Wooden Seeks Scoring Title. BY JOHN B. MILLER United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. March 7.—Four games, one an anti-climaetic contest between Purdue and Chicago—undisputed champion and cellar sitter, respectively—marks the end of the Big Ten basketball season tonight. The boilermakers won the championship, their sixth title or tie in

uurieen years, Dy soundly irouncing tne crown aeiender. Northwestern, 31 to 17, at Evanston Saturday night. The Wildcats fought gamely, but vainly for at least a tie. They remained in second place, where Minnesota may tie them by beating Wisconsin tonight. A Maroon victory over the fast, accurate shooting Purdue team at Lafayette tonight would be the season's biggest upset. Purdue has won ten games, lost only one. Chicago’s record is the reverse. The Gophers remained in position for a tie for runnerup honors by beating lowa in an overtime game. 24 to 22, at lowa City. They vanquished the Hawkeyes by the same score at Minneapolis earlier and now have a record of eight victories, three defeats. In the two other contests Saturday night Wisconsin surprised Indiana with its offense and won, 35 to 26, at Madison while Illinois handed Chicago its tenth defeat, 41 to 20, at Chicago.

Michigan plays Ohio State at Ann Arbor tonight and if victorious will have undisputed fourth place. If the Wolverines lose while Illinois beats Indiana, they would be tied for the same positions with the lllini Meanwhile the Gophers must beat

Wisconsin at Madison to share second place with Northwestern. An upset might throw them into a third place tie with Michigan. Nearly a third of Purdue's points in eleven games, 412, were made by Johnny Wooden, all-America guard, who will attempt tonight to break the conference record for individual scoring. He needs but fifteen points.

Northwestern, which won its first undisputed title in history last year, finished this season by scoring 326 points against its opponents’ 326. Three of its victories were by one point margins, one of them in an overtime contest. „ J W. L. Pet.i W. L. Pet. Purdue... 10 1 .909i0.

By Times Special SAN ANTONIO, Tex., March 7. Vic Frasier, the 1931 pitching sensation of the Chicago White Sox, probably will be unable to open the American League race with the Pale Hose. He was reported in serious condition here today. The young righthander was stricken with influenza Sunday and his family at Mr. Enterprise, Tex., was notified. A big 1932 season had been predicted for him.

land, winner at Greenfield, can cause considerable disturbance. Danville is given much consideration because of its season record. The Tech boys played fine ball to capture the local honors eliminating Shortridge, 29 to 15, in the first round, trouncing New Augusta, 51 to 20 in the quarter finals and toying with New Bethel in the semifinals to win 37 to 18. Washington, a great team but lacking in tournament stamina, looked powerful as they set Southport down 24 to 15 in the first round Friday. The west siders were given a great scare by Manual in the quarter finals Saturday morning when the southsiders rallied in the last quarter with a reserve Continental lineup in the fray and Coach'Roland Jones had to rush his regulars back in to protect a twopoint lead and win 21 to 19. That game taxed Washington’s reserve strength and the rough and tumble struggle with Decatur Central in the semi-finals left the Continentals in poor condition for the final test with Tech players. Too much Edwards spelled the downfall of the westsiders Saturday night. The Arsenal ace scored twenty points, far more than enough for his team to win and additional help by Gladden who tallied two field goals, and two pointers by Gauker and Huston were not needed to win. The entire Washington total was accounted for by Howard and Bright, each scoring seven points. Tech controlled the tip-off, played slow and deliberate ball to work the leather down to Edwards. They led 5 to 2 at the quarter; 13 to 5 at the half and 17 to 8 at the three-quar-ter mark.
