By Eddie Ash FROM BIG LEAGUES TO CLASS B a a m HERB PENNOCK IN STRANGE JOB

JJASKBALL fans hardly believed there eyes the other day when they read a short item which stated that Herb Pen nock had been appointed business manager of the Charlotte Club of the Piedmont League. He was one of the truly great lefthanders of all time and now he is down in class B doing odd office work with the Hornets. Pennock pitched in six world series, five with the Yankess and one with the Philadelphia Athletics. I* no ea>v matter to make money out of baseball in Charlotte and perhaps it is hi love for the aame that led Herb to accept a berth in the litt • minor He is supposed to have saved his money. Charlotte is a Red Sox farm and it is believed that part of Pennock's duties there will b" to act as instructor to young hurlers. Herb is through as a pitcher himself. In 1927 .n the world series between Yankees and Pirates, Pennock h irled no-hit. no-run ball for seven innings. A single by Traynor in the eighth broke the pell. Herb won that tilt, 8 to 1.

a a a Worked in Long Tilt IN a 1933 regular season game " against the White Sox, Pennock went in as a relief hurler in the ninth and he contest went into ex’s i innings. And kept going After 18 round, had been reeled off the battle was till in a tie. 3 to 3, and the umpires called it a day. The veteran southpaw worked 10 innings in that one. The Yanxees wanted to make Pennock a coach last spring. He thought the old arm was good for more victories :gid the offer was iejected, and Herb moved on to Boston. He has five world series games to his credit. He worked in 10 series games and his inning total was 55. No world series defeats are on his record. His age is 40. Pennock oroke into the majors with the Athletics in 1912 when he was 18. He was in the Navy during the World War. He pitched for the Navy against a crack Army team in London in 1918 and won, 2 to 1, ten innings. Herb made a study of opposing batsmen and was crafty. o a a Scoring Speciat isis OUTSTANDING stars who finished one-two-three in the individual ba.-ketball scoring race in the Big T n last year will be involved in Purdue's home games with Chicago and Northwestern over the coming week-end.

I. U. Netmen in Last Drill for Badgers Coach Dean Juggles Lineup in Effort to Find Best Scorers. By Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Jan. 11.— Coach Everett Dean today was to send Indiana University’s cagemen through the final drill before they) engage the Wisconsin quintet here, tomorrow night in a Big Ten encounter. The Badgers are a big team with a powerful defense which held the ! highly-touted Northwestern quintet to nine points, in their opening tilt with Purdue, the Badgers outscored the Boilermakers from the field but dropped the contest, 19-18. Most of the Hoosier practices this week have been devoted to the tough | assignment of w orking up depend- ; able scoring plays. Coach Dean has | been juggling his regular lineup in an effort to find a combination which will click best against the langy Badgers. Stout, veteran forward, whose floor game has been good, but who has not yet gained his last year’s shooting form, may have to share his position with Bob Etnire, sophomore sharpshooter. Walker and Scott are two guards who may not be in the starting line-up, but who probably will see action in the game. Scott, veteran guard and excellent ball-handler, has been handicapped this season with a chronic cold. Willard Kehrt and Robert Porter were named co-captains of the Indiana basketball team yesterday by Coach Everett Dean. Following the Wisconsin-Indiana basketball tilt, the net fans will have a chance to see Indiana's Big Ten champion wrestlers perform. The matmen will wrestle the Vincennes Y. M. C. A. team. Mats will be placed on the basketball floor.

Hopes to Stop Athenians

s?*l I "nSS! i* iVHr |gg i ■ •* ) \-

W TASHINGTON’S Continentals tonight will be hosts to the CrawWfordsville High School courtmen at the West Side goalry. Charles Kasnak, veteran forward, has been shining on the West Side firing line again this season, and is expected to take an active part in the Continentals’ drives against the Athenians for their sixth victory in eight starts.

OFF TKF BACKBOARD WBwnnMil by paul BOXELLmamatmammmmm

FROM the West Side comes a shower of hurried letters heaping indignant reprimands on Pioneer No. 4 of Mooresville. It happens that the Mooresville maestro recently tendered a list of Mooresville victims of this season which, intentionally or otherwise, included Washington's Continentals. Whereupon the loyal Washingtonites rallied to the defense with the correct dope—that being that the Continentals

whipped the Fioneers, 31-30. Furthermore, every letter announces that Washington has won five games in seven starts. tt tt tt “Please remind Pioneer No. 4 of Mooresville to check and double check that list he sent,” says A Washington Booster. “He forgot that Washington handed his team a 31-30 defeat.” “Washington's varsity has lost but two games to date,” says A Former Washington “B” Player. "Both were strong teams—Plainfield and Southport. Keep your eye on Washington's 'B' team which has lost but one game. See you at the city tourney, where Washington will cop the championship.” “He may kid Mooresville, but he can’t kid Washington,” states Continental Charlie. “Washington has won five of seven starts and has a better record than any other city school,” writes Winkie of Washington. “Among our victims are Mooresville, Danyille. Broad Ripple, Beech Grove and Bainbridge. And let me remind Tech and Shortridge and you to take more seriously the coming city tourney. There may be few upsets!” a tt a Okay, Continentals . . . you win ’em . . . they’ll remember ’em. tt a tt DONNIE MATCHETT of Kokomo has held the top-notch individual scoring honors of the North Central Conference since the season began. Donnie, a lanky forward, has compiled 47 markers in eight Conference collisions, which averages somewhere near six points per tussle. Though both Kokomo and Anderson are hovering around the

half-mast mark in the conference standing, players of the two clubs are dominating the circuit scoring bee. Following Matehett, Clutch, Indian center; Ruh, Indian guard, and Maddox, Wildcat guard, are tied for second laurels with 37 total points

Matehett

apiece. And Morgan, Anderson guard, is next with 36! Marv Huffman, representing Newcastle, dropped clear out of the first ten last week, and Hutt, Tech’s veteran ace, jumped into the select ten. Others are Vaughn and McCreary of Frankfort. Insley of Logansport and Young of Lafayette. Clutch has a bright chance to capture the season crown, as Anderson plays 14 conference scuffles. Kokomo plays 13. a a a All the above, of course, before tonight's engagements. Conference tilts ton.ght: Anderson at Muncie. Frankfort at Kokomo. Logansport at Richmond. a a a OFFICE observers have indicated to Backboard that the feature pages and some of the front page headlines present puzr.les enough without Backboard entering the field.

Fishbaugh and Burris in Mat Go Monday Les Fishbaugh, of Newark, 0., signed today to meet Harry Burris, of Anderson, in the one-fall special bout of the mat show at Tomlinson Hall Monday night.

Young Indiana Grappler Gets Place on Card Otto Kuss Signs to Take on Kibbins: Tuesday Bill Filled. The third local appearance of Otto Kuss, the Indiana University student who will meet Everett Kibbins, California, and a “gorilla’* bout between Sol Slagel and Buck Weaver, 240. of Chicago, will serve as the supporting card on the Hercules A.

Charlie lists Man Mountain Dean and Jim McMiilen among his local victims. Hank Marino Puts on Bowling Show Star Pinman Opens Visit at Fountain Tonight.
