By Eddie Ash City Sportg Promoters Stage Scramble am* Take Look at This Week’s Calendar!

FNDIANAPOLIS has become sport-minded again and this week's calendar will l>ear out the assertion. In other words, the Cross Roads has picked up as a center of athletic entertainment, and it's just too bad the territory hereabouts doesn’t have sufficient snowfall and hills to stir interest in ski-jumping, bob sledding and ice skating. The week started off Sunday with professional and amateur basketball attractions, pro and amateur roller polo and women and men’s city tournament bowling. Last night* wrestling held the sports spot, and in addition, a rivalry college cage game was staged at Indiana Central. The professional boxers will go on parade at Tomlinson hall tonight and the amateur Golden Glovers will start throwing punches at the Armory Friday. Also on Friday will be another mat show at Tomlinson hall and the usual number of high school net contests will be fought off around town Friday and Saturday. Sports promoters virtually are falling over themsehes scrambling for choice seats on the comeback bandwagon. Conflicts in dates are passed up as unimportant, and Old John Cash Customer is being pulled around by his lapels and jerked by his coattails. He's in demand. *. . i * * lOWA and Southern California universities have begun anew controversy over the two vanishing Hawkeye freshie basketball players. For a time it looked as though the incident was closed, but the far west Troians evidently want to have the last say. The intellectuals are exchanging bitter words. The latest is from Southern California, as follows- “The good faith and sportsmanship of the University of fowa is the only issue in the athletic controversy It has been waging with the University of Southern California. Through its faculty athletic adviser, C. Willett, U. S. C. sent a bitter wire to lowa officials in answer to a -good faith’ message it received concerning Bud Froning and Duane •mason, ithfc vbo sought to change from lowa to Southern California. "Your telegram received and it only befogs issue. Willett s reply to C. M. Updergraff of the University of lowa, said. ‘The good faith of Southern California is not involved, but the good faith of lowa is. Hire a hall professors! a a a nun MARQUETTE university football coaches have about decided to jump the gun on spring practice by assembling candidates for the 1934 Golden Avalanche on Feb. 5. It is planned to work the squad lightly two or three times a week until spring actually arrives. Offense will be stressed. Ralph Metcalfe, Marquette university’s great Negro athlete and world's fastest human, who also serves as water boy for the grid team, is looking forward to meeting “de Lawd. Richard B. Harrison noted Negro actor who has the leading role in “Green Pastures, will be in Milwaukee* next week and has expressed a desire to be introduced to Metcalfe. naa u n n THE first automobile race known to the contest board of the American Automobile Association was run on June 22, 1894, from Paris to Rouen, France, a distance of seventy-eight miles, and the average speed was twelve miles an hour. Compare this with the average on the board speedway at Altoona. Pa., in 1929, which for a time was 122 miles an hour during the Flag Day 200-mile championship. Back in 1906, L. L. Whitman held the cross-country auto speed record when he drove a machine from New York to San Francisco in fifteen days, two hours and fifteen minutes, according to figures of the contest board of the A. A. A. In 1934, the average motorist leisurely drives the distance in six days. nan n n n THE 1934 Post Boxing Record and Sports Annual is just off the press. It retails for 35 cents. John J. Romano of New York, is the editor and he has compiled a history and record of boxing hard to surpass. All 1933 fistic bouts of importance are included. Complete records and dates of fights of every champion since the day of John L. Sullivan down to 1933 are listed. Post Boxing Record tells you most of the things you want to know at a glance concerning the champions and other prominent boxers. Many cartoons are used, all by Ted Carroll. Many interesting articles discussing boxing and other sport branches appear in the Record and nationally-known sports writers are the authors. Big league baseball averages are given prominent mention, as well as other sports. Joe Williams, sports eoitor of the New York World-Telegram and a special sports writer for The Indianapolis Times, is a member of the Record's board of all-star scriveners. Records are contained of six Indianapolis glove throwers of the past and present, Kid McCoy, Jack Dillon, Tiacy Cox, Jackie Purvis, Willard Brown and Rosy Kid Baker.

No Scalps Today, Chief! Indian Grappler Downed by Strangler Lewis in Hercules Show; Packed House Attends.

BY CARLOS LANE THE peace-pipe smoked with the great white fathers of the Indiana state athletics commission. Chief Chewchki, Indian wrestler, went on another scalping spree in the Armory last night, but came off without even so much as a toupee for his tepee. Returning from suspension from Hoosier wrestling, the Chief met Ed (Strangler) Lewis in the main event of the Hercules A. C. weekly bill. A capacity crowd jammed the armory to watch the barefoot former world’s heavyweight champion down the wild Indiana in straight falls. The Chief skipped into a dance and loped over the canvas warpath as Heze Clark barked his familiar command: Hassle.” But finally the Strangler caught up with his redskin playmate, and the party was on.

a a u WHILE Mr. Clark had explained that -the engaging practices of biting, kneeing, gouging, hairpulling, choking and slugging were taboo for the evening, the Chief's attention had been centered on the taunting front-row customers. So he forgot Mr. Clark's admonitions as soon as the Strangler embraced him in a headlock hold and clutched at the Strangler’s pompadour. “Cut the scalpinj. Chief,” Mr. Clark advised. The Chief grunted. To Mr. Clark the grunt meant little, but the linguists m tlie ringside could have told the referee that the Chief was saying: “Put It in Comanche. Heze. old thing. I don't get your paleface lingo.** mmm MR. CLARK S worries about the Strangler's scalp couldn't have been serious, inasmuch as twentyfive years in the ring have brought Mr. Lewis to that point where a scalping party would be about as successful as shaving the mustache otf a billard bull —a little more, but not much. However, the Chief failed to confine his battle fervor to scalping. He added a pinch of gouging, a dash of illicU kneeing, and a jigger of biting. In all. he made but one mistake. He forgot that in the Stranglers quarter of a century on the mats of the world that he. too, might have jacked up a cute trick or two. u a a SO, as the Chief slipped from a hold and felled the big Strangler with a leg split. Mr. Lewis slipped over a fast one on the Chief. Slowly, the Strangler arched himself from the leg split and edged into a keyboard shoulder hold that pinned the Indian for the first fall. “Hell stop that stuff.” the Strangler prophesied between halves, “or 111 park one on his chin that will hang there a week.” m m m AND he did Back in the ring the Chief opened up his stuntbox again, but the lid snapped shut on him as the Strangler cut loose with a right hook, and the key was turned as Mr. Lewis hurled the Chief thrice with body slams, and then pinned him with a deadlock in six minutes In the semi-final bout Dr. Karl Sarpolis of Chicago pinned Marshall Blackstock of Texas in ten minute* of rough going with a crotch and slam. Frank Speers of

Atlanta won from Whitey Hewitt of Memphis, with a flying tackle, in the prelim. The supporting bouts were filled with warm action and Dr. Sarpolis, especially, scored a solid hit with the crowd.

Sears Off for Millrose Races In tip-top shape, Ray Sears, Butler university’s star distance runner. left today for New York, where he will compete in the Millrose games next week-end.

The Pelican Takes Purse By United Press MIAMI, Fla., Jan. 31.—Joseph E. Widener’s The Pelican raced in front for six furlongs and lasted to beat J. E. Smallman’s Feudal Lord by a nose in the Franklin Delano Roosevelt purse here yesterday. The Jersey stable’s Character saved third. Johnny Gilbert, who won the second race with Idle Victory, was aboard The Pelican and put up a flawless ride. Saving ground at every turn with the Haste gelding, Gilbert went to a furious drive as Feudal Lord made a smashing bid in the final sixteenth and saved the race by inches in the good time of 1:11 3-5. The Pelican was well backed in the six-horse field, paying $5.40 straight. CRITZ ENTERS FOLD NEW YORK. Jan. 31.—Hughie Critz, second sacker, signed a New York Giants’ contract for 1933 yesterday.

High up over the trees, sailing into space at more than 60 miles an hour. This ski-jumper seems to be trying to fly over the Cascade mountains, near Seattle.

A CROWD of 25,000 turned out at Cary, 111., recently to watch the ski-jumpers perform and saw Casper Oimen hurl his body 175 feet from a snowclad slide to win his fourth national title. Ski-riding is a swiftly growing sport in the snow sections of the United States, from New Hampshire across the northern boundry to the northwest, and down into the mountains of California. nan ana IMPETUS was given to the daring sport by the 1932 Olympic winter games at Lake Placid. Colleges, prep schools, towns, cities, Chambers of Commerce, tiny villages and far flung winter sports clubs now hoid jumping tournaments, from which stars for our future Olympic teams are rapidly developing. Last year Alf Engen, Dakota daredevil, soared for a distance of 281 feet down a slide in Utah’s Wasatch mountains. Engen’s speed on the takeoff was estimated at ninety miles an hour—and his jump through space is accepted as the American record. ana a a a ENGEN has taken a dozen jumps of more than 200 feet, setting up his “old” American record at Salt Lake City two years ago with a jump of 247 feet. That same year he went 243 feet at Big Pines, Cal. Last year the first national ski-runr.ing (not jumping) championship over a thirty-kilometer course was held at Salisbury, Conn. Magnus Satre negotiated the eighteen miles of mountain running in 1 hour, 30 minutes, 22 seconds.

Off D ACKBOARD fh© Liar By Carlos Lane

ACTORS, aviators and athletes are the most superstitious people on earth —with the possible exception of craps shooters, fishermen and flagpole sitters. For example, try and get a flagpole percher to start a job on a sleety, sub-zero day, or a fisherman to toss out a bait when the wind is from the east (although Backboard never caught a bass examining a weather-vane before sitting down to the table), or find an addict to the tumbling cubes who won’t halt the throw that follows three craps on end. Or spend some time behind the footlights or within the song of the propellors, and see how many strange little beliefs abound there. And who remembers that Bob Zuppke wore overshoes—or did he carry an umbrella? It's been so long since the tale was repeated to him that Backboard’s memory of it is a bit hazy—to the games his Ulini gridders pryed on. And how about that seventh-inning strecth in the ball park? Or, finally, despite the fact that the sports world knows a thousand other superstitions, how about this Hoosier adage that no team wins from an equal, or almost equal, team thrice in one season? a a a a a a TX) begin, with Shortridge will hang at least a little hope on the A veracity of that tradition in the sectionals here in March; Bloomington remembers that Martinsville has beaten them twice in regular play, and wonders whether the popular supposition is the real McCoy; and, Up north, Hammond now frets under two losses to Froebel, and hopes to turn the tables on the Blue Devils in sectional play. What do you think? As far as Backboard’s concerned, he delights in mocking superstitions, although if you pinned him down to it, he probably has a few minor ones himself. But none of the major ones. He’ll walk across a room to light the third cigaret from a match, stroll half a block to parade beneath a ladder (or will until the first bucket of paint falls on him), and run all over the house looking for umbrellas to open indoors. So when he picks a team to win a sectional meet this year, he won’t be influenced by any tradition that So-and-So must win because the team’s lost twice to the well-known Half Ace quintet.

WITH four conference games on the bill this week-end, here are the current North Central Conjference standings: j Team. W. L. Pet I Logansport 6 1 .857 TECH 5 1 .833 Jeff.. Lafayette 6 3 .667 Frankfort i 5 3 .625 Muncie 4 3 .571 Richmond 33 .500 Newcastle 3 5 .375 Lebanon 0 6 .000 Kokomo 0 7 000 Anderson 0 0 .000 000 ANDERSON actually doesn’t enter the standing until the team is reinstated in the Indiana High School Athletic Association—and its return is scheduled for tomorrow. The Indians will play their first Ihsaa and conference game against Newcastle in Anderson Friday night, and with a win would shoot to the top of the league with a perfect score. Other conference games Friday night are: Richmond at Jefferson, of Lafayette; Muncie at Frankfort, and Logansport at Lebanon. Statisticians, take notice. Two Tech fans wrote in (but failed to append their correct names and addresses, so the communications are not being used) to complain that Townsend had been credited with playing in all of Tech’s first five North Central conference games, so that his scoring average was only eight points a game. Johnny now has played in five conference games, including Lebanon last Saturday night. He has accumulated fifty points in them, averaging ten points a game. The statisticians were in error. He did not play in the Logansport tilt, so that his average before the Lebanon encounter also was ten points a game. 000 DOROTHY, of Tech, is back With us. with a couple of puzzlers. "Dear Backboard—l want to ask you two questions which aren't very easy. First, has Tech a better team than they had last year, and, is Johnny Townsend a better player than Leßov Edwards? “By the way. have you heard the rnmor that Townsend will get a free ticket to ihe University of— < Big Ten school)? • Shortridge is looking forward to beating Tech (I’m not forgetting Southport) in the sectionals, because they say we can't win three games from them in one season, but I'll say we will. There is only one reason why we lost to them lapt year. We had a “swell-head" team. And we hare not rot one this semester. Not one boy oa the team thinks he is better than the other fellow. "I certainly agree with Ted, Tech Alumna, about Cathedral playing in the oitr tournament. And here re the beet

sixteen of the state, but not in the order in which they are placed: “Jeff, of Lafayette, Logansport. Connersviiie, Muncie. Tech, Shortridge, Newcastle. Martinsville, Hartford City, Crawfordsville, Brazil, Centra! (Ft. Wayne), Kokomo. Frankfort, Anderson and Southport. I hope you notice that three of them are in the Indianapolis sectional. “DOROTHY OF TECH.” 0 0 0 WHAT a spot you put Backboard in, Dorothy. If he answers your questions all the watchful will rise with the crack: “What do you know about it? You weren’t writing Backboard last year.” So all Backboard can do is repeat what he has said before, that this year’s Tech quintet is a smooth one, and Johnny is one of the greatest high school basketball players Indiana ever saw. About him getting that free ticket . . . tsk, tsk, Dorothy, you must say “scholarship,” and be very, very cautious about inferring that any school in a league as rigid as the Big Ten could ever prefer enrolling an athlete like Johnny over some ordinary mortal like us. But, yes, I had heard that the school you named was interested in him—but so are half a dozen others, if one is to believe rumor. 000 GENE ANDERSON, Franklin center, accounted for twelve of the Grizzly Cubs’ twenty-five points against Columbus the other night . . . Franklin had control of the ball six and one-half of the eight minutes in the final quarter . . . and Yorktown, in its nineteen straight victories this year, has rolled up 610 points w’hile its opponents collected only 108 .. .

Schmeling to Duck Baer Go By United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 31.—The proposed return match between Max Schmeling and Maxie Baer at Los Angeles in March is “out,” according to announcement by Schmeling’s manager, Joe Jacobs. Jacobs said he had terminated negotiations for the Baer bout and accepted a match with Paulino Uzcudun, the veteran Basque wood chopper, in Barcelona, Spain, on April 8. Schmeling was guaranteed $40,000 for meeting Uzcudun, whom he trounced at Yankee stadium in 1929. Schmeling is training at Pompton Lakes, N. J., for his bout with Steve Hamas in Philadelphia on Feb. 13. He will return to Europe after that match and prepare for the Uzcudun fight.

Sam Willaman Resigns as Ohio State Coach Veteran Football Mentor Leaves Columbus Institution and Accepts Western Reserve Berth: Successor Slated to Be Announced Soon: Posts Good Record. By United Press COLUMBUS. 0., Jan. 31.—Samuel S. Willaman resigned today as Ohio State university's head football coach. Willaman made no comment on his plans for the future but reports from Cleveland state he would accept the head coaching position at Western Reserve university. Tom Keady. Western Reserve coach for three years, was not offered a contract for 1934. Selection of Willaman’s successor will be announced soon, the United Press was informed by Ohio state athletic officials.

A former Ohio state athlete, Willaman joined the coaching staff of his alma mater in 1926. He served as assistant for three years before becoming head coach in 1929. Previously he had been head coach at lowa State college and at Cleveland East Technical and Alliance, Ohio, high schools. Two Defeats in Two Years Willamaii's resignation had been expected for several weeks. He had been criticised openly since his team lost to Michigan, 13 to 0. last fail. However, during the last two seasons, Michigan was the only schoqj to defeat Ohio in football, although the Buckeyes were tied by Pittsburgh, Wisconsin and Indiana during 1932. The fact that Ohio State won from Northwestern, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Illinois in succession after the Michigan defeat last fall did not silence Willaman’s critics. Opposition to renewal of his contract was voiced in certain newspapers and by alumni groups. Wins 26 Games Since succeeding Dr. John W. Wilce in 1929, Willaman produced teams that won twenty-six games, lost ten and tied five. In Western Conference competition his teams won* fourteen games, lost eight and tied four. In 1929, Ohio State finished fifth in the conference: in 1930, 1931 and 1932, fourth, and in 1933, third. Those who sought Sam’s removal expressed the opinion he was unable to get the best results out of “a wealth of football material,” and that he was unable to keep harmony among his players. Three Ohio State players quite the squad last fall, two of them returning to the team later. CHANGE IS CONFIRMED CLEVELAND, Jan. 31. Sam Willaman, who resigned today as football coach at Ohio State university, has accepted a similar position at Western Reserve university here, it was said today in official circles. Willaman’s appointment was announced shortly after it was learned that Tom Keady, Western Reserve coach, had not been offered a 1934 contract.
