By Eddie Ash I)e Pauw Scene of Hot Rivalry Battle u b a Wabash Invades Tiger Tomorrow

TN this column yesterday the Notre Dame vs. Butler game at the field house here Saturday was recommended as a sport attraction of chills and thrills, hut in the event you crave a little advance excitement, take a run down to Greencastle torriorrow evening and park yourself in the De Pauw gym. You will l>e hanging on before the evening is over. The Little Giants of Wabash will be there to test the claw of the Tiger for a second time this season. In the first skirmish, staged at Crawfordsville, De Pauw won by a whisker, 20 to 19, and this second conflict promises to be another frenzied battle of the Monon. The W abash boys have been reading up on the Tiger s Claw for some weeks now and are going to penetrate the Putnam county jungle carrying what they believe is a clawproof defense, but latest reports from the standpipe district indicate the Tigers have worked up a basketball hunger that will be difficult to deny, as well as hard to appease. When De Pauw and Wabash meet in anything there's always that little extra something that whets the interest of the customers. And in basketball the Tigers and Scarleteers usually dish out a double order. Tomorrow night, at Greencastle. It’s a bargain. nan ana As an added feature to the De Pauw-Wabash fracas in the Tigei gym tomorrow night, the freshie net fives of the two schools will collide immediately after the varsity teams leave the floor. The Tiger yearlings trounced the Little Giant greenies in a previous encounter and the Wabashers are keyed ‘‘to do something about it. a a a one STEWART BOLEN, the stalwart southpaw, and Johnny Riddle, the hard-battling, peppery catcher, both idols of Perry stadium baseball customers, are not going to wait for the sun to shine. They are going to begin at once the business of rounding into shape for spring training. It s something new in baseball. Usually, in the past, during the years of big money, the diamond athletes waited for spring training to do their chores and to reduce poundage and exercise legs and arms. Nowadays, howe\er, especially with clubs training in the north, like the Indians, it will be necessary for the athletes to report in good physical, condition at the start of the spring grind and depend upon a few sunny days to iron out the winter kinks Bolen and Riddle, first of the local Indians to grasp the significance of the abandonment of the southern training trip, plan to start light work at Butler fieldhouse at once. Riddle has been in the city all winter and Bolen came here a few days ago. Stewart finished the 1933 •season in brilliant fashion and is confident he will make a quick return to the majors if he gets away to a flying start this year. He has several friends watching out for him” in the big leagues and feels a hunch coming on that if he exhibits good control during the early days of the 1934 A A. campaign it wont be long until a major club, starving for an experienced lefthander, will be dickering for his services. man non rpwo years of league ball under the watchful eyes of the Cleveland I Indians should have fitted pitcher Steve Sundra for trial in AA ball, and the big Slovak is slated to get it with the Toledo Hens this spring. Sundra is a Clevelander who attracted the attention of Cleveland by his slab work in the National Baseball Federation. He pitched two shutouts in the tournament of 1931 and won a third game. 12 to 2. This last game was against the Rosenblums, and was their first defeat of the year. In the final game for the federation championship, Sundra blanked Cincinnati. 6 to 0. He won sixteen and lost one during 1931 and Cleveland signed him sending him to Quincy of the Three-I League for 1932. There he had broken even in fourteen decisions when the league folded up in July and he finished out at Burlington in the Mississippi Valley loop. He won nme and lost three for Burlington. Last summer. Sundra’s pitching efforts were expended in helping Zanesville win the championship of the Middle Atlantic League. He had fourteen victories against twelve defeats and fannd 150. On August 22. he just missed a ticket to the hall of fame by pitching a one-hit 8 to 0 decision. ana n n n EDDIE LEISHMAN, shortstop, obtained by St. Paul from the New York Yankee system, was one of the most important cogs in the 1933 championship team of the NYP League—the Binghamton Bingos, bossed by the veteran Bill Meyer, former American Association catcher and Louisville pilot. When Leishman was injured late in the race it almost kicked the Bingos out of the flag and they just squeezed under the wire ahead of Reading on the last day of play. Leishman batted .277 and fielded .937. but the figures don't tell half his value to the team, Meyer avers. In 1932, the new Saint was picked as shortstop on the all-star team of the Central League. Last summer in a field day at Binghamton he won the 50-vard dash, streaking it in six seconds. Leishman can play either second, third or short. He is a righthanded batsman.

Hinkle remembers that the loss of centers on personal fouls have cost him the last two games here with the Irish basketeers. But at the same time he has not overlooked the remainder of the Notre Dame scoring threats, including Leo Crowe, Joe Voegele, George Ireland and Joseph Jordan. Other members of the Bulldog squad have received special instruction regarding their play against these men. In the first encounter of the season the Irish drubbed Butler, 37 to 17.

IT S the last, long mile. The green flag is out and the boys are dusting off the black and white checkered one. This week Indiana high schools end their regular basketball campaign, and next week swing into the sixty-four sectional tournaments preliminary to the main events. Indianapolis high schools finish this week, with the exception of Crispus Attucks, which does not compete in the state tourneys, and continues with regularly scheduled games in March.

''T''ECH winds up with a North A Central Conference tilt at Kokomo Friday evening, a game that should boost the Green and White into a tie for second place with Anderson, with a loop average of .750. Logansport wins the conference title. Shortridge’s Blue Devils finish their regular campaign Saturday night, entertaining Delphi in the north side gym. Manual has two battles listed, meeting St. Paul here Friday night, and going to New Bethel Saturday night. Broad Ripple concludes its schedule at Noblesville Friday night, and Washington entertains Brownsburg Friday night. Southport finished at Greenfield, also on Friday night. And that will be all until the first sectional meet whistle a week from tomorrow night in the big gym at Tech, where sixteen Marion county and Indianapolis quintets will start the first round of games. tt tt tt DICK ANDERSON, sports editor of the Evansville Press, writes that the Evansville regional tourney probably will see Bosse of Evansville, Dale, Patoka and Tell City in action. Remember that several weeks ago Backboard said Bosse probably would come to the state tournament from that region? Nothing’s happened so far to change his mind. A Ft. Wayne sports scribe took issue with Backboard’s state and regional tourney winner picks, saying that probably not more than half of the sixteen Bdckboard nominated would show up in the Butler field house. Some time ago Backboard said if he hit 50 per cent on the regional winners he would start immediately coining commemorative medals for himself. There probably will be three or four dark horses slip by—usually there are—and many of the regionals, not to mention the sectionals, are nip and tuck all the way.

HAMIL GOODWIN, Bedford varsity forward, will watch the game from the sidelines for a while. Coach Bayue Freeman suspended him for violations of training rules, clamped down on his regulations for the team, and announced that any member found breaking them would suffer a similar penalty. Fred Beretta probably will replace Freeman at the sniping berth. By the way. Kunnel Stranahan, it's "farther’’—but what's the difference, or the use in looking beyond that? Do you admit now that Tech’s a point better than the Newcastle Trojans? The old comparative scores argument, again. Tech. 23; Shelbyville, 17. And last night: Newcastle, 20; Shelbyville, 15. o tt a The Irish string along with the Blue Devils, or at least one Irishman does. If. he opines. Birr can hold Townsend down, Shortridge can beat Tech. Dear Backboard—Just a loyal Cathedralite sending in his compliments to Tech, Shortridge and Cathedral. Everyone seems to think Tech will win the state. Maybe so. But there is one good team I think can stop Tech and Company. That team is Shortridge. Birr. Shortridge’s big pivot man is capable of holding down Townsend, and if he does I think Shortridge will win. Now to get back to my alma mater. Although Cathedral hasn’t looked good in the city games, take it from me C. H. S. will look more than good up in Chicago. Remember, Cathedral is the national Catholic champ. My all-city team is: Hutt :Tech> and Berns (Shortridge), forwards: Townsend (Tech), center, and O’Connor (Cathedral) and Hobson (Shortridge), guards. ALVY OF CATHEDRAL. O 3 x THE little Ben Davis team out west of the city has plenty of determined followers. And Backboard admits that they should be considered as something of a threat when tournament time comes. But, remember. Backboard’s backing Tech! Pear Backboard—l with, to thank Baa-

ketball Dick for his compliment to Ben Davis. I think we have a nice chance in the sectional tourney, and the points he thinks are lacking: will show improvement there. In Backboard a short time ago I saw Schaefer of Southport picked as an allcity forward. Ben Davis has a floor guard, Freije, who held Schaefer down to one field goal in the first half before being substituted by Johnson in the county tourney. I agree with Tech that they will have to watch Ben Davis in the sectional and also for Shortridge and Southport to look out, too. Os course, you know that all of the players are juniors, and they may take the big boys like a whirlwind. ALUMNUS OF BEN DAVIS. tt tt tt THIS Tech bunch is hard to outscore. On the hardwood—or in the contrib column. They always seem to have a few left, no matter how furious the opposition becomes. And so, for today's election from the Tech file: Dear Backboard—l'm not yelling because we got beat by Newcastle because all good teams have to take it on the chin and like it. but I want to tel! you and a few other big shots what I think of Connersvilie. Connersville really has a ball team. The only thing that heat them was that Tech had the advantage of height over them and that did not worry them so much, because Yeager, their center, who looked to be only a little over six feet was getting off his pins and out-jumping Johnny and Hair before he had the bad luck to go out on personals. Their forward combination of Sleet and Carter is going pretty, but in my estimation Sleet wasn’t showing all he had. Tech wasn't playing the bail that they cou'd have because they were too slow. A substitution of Dobbs and possibly Fias would have helped to have livened up Tech, and they would have knocked Connersville and the spectators for a loop. By this I mean that Tech would have gone on faster and would have given Connersville the same kind of game that Jeff of Lafayette got. While we are discussing Dobbs let’s see what he really has. That boy is about the fastest man Tech has and if Campbell uses good sense he will use this boy and give him practical experience because he will prove useful in the team's work next year. He can really get around on his pins. - Well, here’s seeing you ingrates at the sectional because Tech has to win the sectional before they can think of going to the .state. BOTTSEY OF TECH.

THE Tech fans won't be so crazy about this next one. Backboard admits there's some merit in your argument, Reed, but also he's rather inclined to spoof the idea that a home court is worth ten points—unless it is a peculiar floor. Moreover, shouldn’t the rest of the teams in this sectional know that Tech floor pretty well by now? Dear Sir—The time is drawing near. Coaches are dusting out the corners of their gray cells, players are training themselves as they have never trained before, balls are being polished with the good old shoe polish, trainers are working overtime rubbing the aches and pains down, every one is preparing for the struggle which takes place in sixtv-four sectionals.. To some it will be the final battle, to others it will be another step toward the, cherished visit to the great gaping rafters of the Butler fieldhouse. Some teams think the sectional in their district is in the bag. but the storm is never over until the sun shines. In Indianapolis, most fans believe that the teams to beat are Shortridge and Tech, but in my opinion I think that we can add the hat of Southport and Ben Davis to the ring. Being a Shortridge grad, I naturally think Shortridge will win. I have done some private scouting of my own of most of the strong teams in this sectional and I feel that should Shortridge be on thev can easily take the sectional. Birr can hold Townsend, if he plays like he did against Cruse of Rushville. With Townsend bottled up Tech might as well gie up. Goins of Southport can be stopped. Cathedral proved that there are no individual players on the Ben Davis team, but any playing a good defense can stop them for their plavs are weak. Why is it that Tech is even mentioned as a threat in this sectional? I tell you. Tech and Newcastle probably know their own floor better than any team in the state knows Its floor. Wbjn, year after year, we play the sectional on the Zech

‘Hello, Sucker!’ Derby Winter Book Drawing Best in Years

BY' HENRY' M’LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Feb. 21.—The winter books on the Kentucky Derby have opened and the government, if it’s as interested in the citizenry as it seems to be, should order sucker warnings flown from Hatteras to the Golden Gate. For the winter books, with their magnetic odds of 100, 200, 500, and even 1,000 to 1, draw the suckers even as the candle does the moth, the poultice the pain. The urge to get a whole lot of something for almost nothing is so overpowering that the sucker forgets to remember that the gentlemen who offer such luscious odds are wise in the ways of the world, and are not in the commission business for their health. When such robust figures are quoted on a horse, you may rest assured that somebody knows something. This “somthing” usually is the knowledge that the horse in question has gone amiss, and couldn’t win the Council Bluffs claiming race, even with the aid of an outboard motor. One has only to take a peek at the odds quoted on the decent nags to realize that the commissioners aren't giving anything away. For example, Mr. Tom Kearney, noted St. Louis philanthropist, whose heart, like his wallet, runneth over, offers winter book subscribers but 10 to 1 on Charles Fisher’s filly, Mata Hari. The odds should be 25 to 30 to 1 at least. Remember, Mr. Kearney won’t give you your money back if Mata Hari doesn't go to the past. To get even a run for your money, Mata must stand training for the next seven weeks. And when you remember the numerous ailments that a horse is subject to—weeping withers, ham hocks, padlocked fetlocks, dandruff in the mane, and plain rash, to mention only a few—you see that Derby post time is liable to find Mata Hari on a sickbed miles removed from Churchill Downs. You only have to compare the number of nominations for the stake with the starting field to realize that the odds are heavily against your winter book choice answering the bugle. A a rule around 125 are called, and fewer than twenty answer. Which, if our arithmetic teacher wasn't playing tricks, means that only one out of every six has a chance of facing the barrier. Yet, according to Mr. Kearney, his book is doing more business than it has in years, and customers are clamoring for a chance to lay their money on some beetle whose neck will feel the caress ci a floral horseshoe only when the milk

floor we spot thzm as much as ten points and then hope , beat them. In other sectionals the playing is divided year after year. The tournaments every year may l,e a money-making affair, but after all a.en't we, the spectators, allowed to get a little pleasure out of the game? We donate our money to the Tower of Trester. Hold them at the Butler fieldhouse. It mav cost a little more, but they will gain in the long run. At the present I understand a petition is going around to the other schools among the students. After it is signed by 1,000 students it will be presented to Mr. Ammerman of Broad Rippie. Why should Shortridge, Manual, Washington. Broad Ripple, Southport, and Ben Davis spot Tech ten points and then hope to win?* / KEEP, ’32.

Dr. Sarpolis Cops Mat Go After Ronald Kirschmeyer, former Oklahoma Aggie mat star, declined a referee's decision in his favor on one fall. Dr. Karl Sarpolis won the main event on the Hercules A. C. wrestling card in the armory last night, taking the first and third falls over Kirchmeyer. Referee Heze Clark gave Kirchmeyer the second fall when Sarpolis flattened his own shoulders on the canvas while trying to down Kirchmeyer with a leg split. Sarpolis protested and Kirchmeyer agreed to refuse the decision. He knocked Sarpolis out with a flying scissors off the ropes to cop the next tumble, and weakened himself trying another flying scissors so that the Chicago dentist pinned him for the third spill. Abe Coleman, New York Hebrew, introduced the drop-kick, made famous by Jurnpin Joe Savoldi, to the local mat ring as he threw Casey Berger. Los Angeles, in the curtainraiser. Dick Raines, Texas, and Matros Kirilenko, Russia, battled thirty minutes to a drew in the second bout on the card.
