m r>

I IST to give an idea of the scope of the Golden Gloves amaJ teur boxing enterprise, of which Indianapolis is a part, it is interesting to point out the number of district meets and the many states involved. There are 38 district tourneys, including three in Chicagoland, and eight champions in the Open class will go from each district to compete in the Tournament of Champions at Chicago Feb. 25, 26 and 27. Following ‘he Tournamf'nt of Champions eliminations, the next feature will be taged in the Windy City on March 8 when the Champions Over All will cho en. Survivors of the late February meet will compete for the all-Golden Gloves crowns on March 8. tans crowned March 8 and the runners-up in that event will battle on March 29 against the Eastern Golden Gloves title holders a. elected in New York, wncre eliminations similar to the Middle Western program are now taking place.

nan Spoi ls doers Like It is the third year of The I Times-Legion Golden Gloves cla sic and each year has seen an increase in interest on the part of thf* supporters of amateur boxing v here the boys battle for glor\. applause, gifts and trips instead of lor pay. The Times and the Bruce Robison Post of the American Legion were elated over the fine turnout of fans on opening night at the Armory last Friday, and the outlook is encouraging this week. The Chicago Tribune is the daddy cf the Golden Gloves and has succeeded in spreading the meets over ole veil states. The Tribune sees a glowing out look for the 1935 amateur entertainment and comments as follows: • Total paid attendance last year was 341.580 and since there will be mx new tournament centers this ■' ear a conservative estimate places the total paid attendance at 600.000 for the 1935 bouts. The net proceeds, which last year totaled $250,000. are to be handed over to charity.” 800

day. Members are Don Harpold. Duke Hobbs, Wes Bicking and Bob Collier. Don Lash, Indiana U. crosscountry and distance champion, also will take part in the Millrose classic. Many nationally-known speedsters will be there and a packed gallery will witness the games. For example, in the mile run, going for a record will be Bill Bonthron, Glenn Cunningham and Gena Venzke. The indoor record is 4:08.5, posted by Cunningham. Hombostel and Fuqua are runners, and Sandbach, the other Hoosier entry in the Millrose championships, is a hurdler. Asa matter of fact the Boilermaker timber topper wears the world crown in the indoor 60-yard high sticks. nun Accents Double * Issue tron'man HORNBOSTEL is goX ing after a “double” in the big meet. The fleet-footed Hoosier has accepted the issue in the 1000-yard special as well as the Millrose 600. As he will have a 70-minute rest between races, Hombostel figures he can equal the feat of Abel Kiviat, who, 23 years ago, captured both the National A. A. U. 600 and 1000 championships. Star fields will battle Hombostel in joth events. He will be opposed by Ivan Fuqua, his co-captain at Indiana U., last year, in the 600, as well as Milton Sandler, the Millrase 1934 victor, and Arnold Adams, 1933 winner. Bloomington and the I. U. campus will be worked up to a high pitch over that event—with Chuck and Ivan, old buddies and tram mates, competing against each other. In the 1000-yard run Hornbostel’s opponents will include Brendan Moynahan, Boston A. A.; Waido Sweet, New York A. C.; Harry Williamson, North Carolina, and Glen Dawson of Oklahoma. Abel Kiviat will be a steward at the Millrose meet when Hombostel attempts to score the "double.” And Kiviat, the 1912 two-time champion, said yesterday: “If any runner can knock off this ‘double’, it’s Hornbostel.”

NOW I know I should launch today’s meanderings by humbly bowing my head and whispering with an apologetic quiver that I was crossed up considerably last week and that it should have discouraged me from such effort this week, but that I’m summoning courage to give

it one more try. But I won’t. Your pick-hitter batted near .600 in 19 predictions before last week’s scuffles. That wouldn’t get him much farther than the Piedmont League on average weeks. But the forecaster who could foresee what was going to happen in that deluge of upsets last week won’t be found dickering with a typewriter—he'll be dishing out tea leaf readings to the Vanderbilts in the Hotel Astor dining emporium. So here’s to a rough voyage tomorrow night—if you don’t agree with me you can at least catch up on the schedule of games. ana Washington at Manual City schools won't stay in line, and Backboard just can’t keep ’em straight ... but he's picking Washington solely on the fact that the Continent als are city champions . . . Cathedral at Greencastle Backboard itches to murmur, “Irish,” after that showing against Shortridge last week ... but he just can’t make it . . . the Tiger Cubs are inconsistent enough to be “on” tomorrow night . . . Anderson at Newcastle Tabbing Newcastle because Trojan confidence was restored after Muncie fell away . . . and the Indians may take the tilt too lightly in their eagerness to get at Jeffersonville Saturday.

Bedford at Martinsville Bedford . . . apparent . . . Glen Curtis is one of Indiana's top-notch mentors, but he just can’t get the boys skipping this semester . . . Columbus at Bloomington Bloomington's Panthers are due to w-ork up steam again after that Bedford blanket . . . Rushville at Connersville It’s one of those things . . . the annual conflict of the century between the two bloodthirsty ville-ans . . . here's expecting Rushville to be foiled again . . . both teams sport good records .. • sidLa Lafayette at Richmond Good old Jeff has backed up Backboard m two decisions of late—so the old boy is still clinging to the bandwagon ... Lebanon at Logansport If the Wellsmen can work up a good lead over the Tigers on straight stuff, without displaying the puzzlers Coach Cliff is cooking , up in secret drills, they’ll do it . . . In any event, the Berries are huge favorites . . . Tipton at Noblesville Who's going to stop those Maul-* ing Millers? . . Tipton's Blue Devils loom as a good-sized threat . . . but “threat” is the best you can make of it . . . No. 18 for Maurice Kennedy, sez I . . . it's a Central Indiana Conference affair . . . Shelbyville at Greenfield Shelbyville has won nine of 13 games, taking the last three in a row ... it was the Golden Bears who snapped Franklin's elongated winning streak . . . that's a fast pace . . . it’s fast enough for Backboard to keep stringing along with Mr. Lostutter and the Page boys ... o a a MICHIGAN CITY over Laporte, sez I, Marion to repulse Peru, Kokomo to upset Wabash the Giant-killer —and Washington’s Hatchets to nose out Vincennes.

Stote to Wrestle Charlie Carr Here The popular Little Johnnie Stote of New York signed last night to meet Charlie Carr of Ft. Wayne in the final match of the mat show at Tomlinson Hall Monday night.

Another bout of main event length will be signed to complete the card, with a supporting bout opening the show'.

Local H. S. Quintets Gird for Heavy Week-End Bill Manual-Washington Scrap Headlines City Card; Five Squads Prepare for Double Action. One of the heaviest w'eek-ends of basketball activity in the present season is carded for Indianapolis high school quintets tomorrow and Saturday nights. Five teams, Washington. Cathedral, Shortridge, Broad Rippla and Crispus Attucks, will play on both nights.

CITY PREP GAMES

TOMORROW Washington at Manual. Crawfordsville at Shortridge. Cathedral at Greencastle. Broad Ripple at Zionsville. Crispus Attucks at Spencer. SATURDAY Franklin at Tech. Shortridge at Rushville. Brownsburg at Cathedral. Greenfield at Washington. Broad Ripple at Southport. Crispus Attucks at Plainfield Boys' School.

Washington . . . and the Cats are due on their home floor . . . it’s against Backboard's better judgment after watching the Casemen in action Tuesday night. Expecting Zionsville to nudge Broad Ripple . . . and Jeffersonville to crush St. Xavier . . . gotta boost that percentage. . . . n u tt OF ALL THE NERVE TONIC! DEAR Backboard—Please, Mister, start flipping that coin again. Stop picking the Shortridgers outright—it’s bad for their nerves. There’s nothing so soothing as Backboard's Patented Flipping-Coin Nerve Tonic. It sure puts us back on our feec again. So please help us out. because it sure looks like you’re the cne to do it. Yours for the tonic, ' LITTLE WILLIE, S. H. S. it tt tt That mav be a good suggestion, Willie, but Backboard is loathe to take it this time. He wants to pick the Blub Devils over Crawfordsville tomorrow night. That crazy coin might double cross him and come down “tails” up. u a tt Dear Backboard—lt seems to us that an Indianapolis team should be able to win a state tournament for a change. Tech has the best coach in the state and should win it.. But every year it's the same story—overconfidence. Washington doesn't seem strong enough to reach the fieldhouse. However, we're Indianapolis fans and we hope thev do. THE CHISEUERS. tt tt tt THE report rapidly gaining credence over the state that Jeffersonville received a sharp rebuke from the I. H. S. A. A. for participating in a tourney with three Louisville teams appears somewhat exaggerated. From the Ihsaa tower in the Circle Tower, Commissioner Trester divulges that Jeffersonville merely was reminded that Indiana is a unit member of the National Federation of State High School Athletic Associations which forbids inter-stats tourneys with teams in non-federation states. Kentucky is not in the federation. It is sometimes passible for Indiana teams to enter inter-state tourneys by obtaining the sanction of the national federation. Jeffersonville, unaware of the rule, entered the tourney without the official nod of approval. tt tt tt Out of Bounds Stuff .. . Wabash’s Apaches have yet to surpass 30 points in any single game ... to even up, the Apaches have held all their opponents below the 30-point line to date . . . Gordon Graham at Lafayette has figured it out that not a single out-of-town basketball team, high schocl or college, has won a game in Lafayette this season! . . . Some record, when you consider the type of opposition Jeff, West Side and Purdue are encountering . . . Joseph, Frankfort’s ace defensive bulldog, was ill Tuesday night and his berth at forward was shared by Livesay and Thompkins against Lafayette ... if Joseph had been “leeching” Young—but he wasn't and Young made 10 points . . . According to The Collegian, Coach Tony Hinkle feeds his Butler Bulldogs but one meal on the day of a game . . . but that meal consists of T-bone steak, french fries, rolls and tea! . . . and is consumed at 3 p. m. . . . Perhaps that's what he steaks his victory hopes on. MILLERS IN ICE TRIUMPH Bp United Press MINNEAPOLIS.

Washington A. C. Flyweight in Golden Gloves Fistic Classic

When Ray (Shorty) Waggoner, 112-pound local amateur boxer, battled his way to the city flyweight title at the recent South Side Turners’ slugfest he displayed talent had been missing for a long time among the ‘ little fellows” in this vicinity. In the city-Marion County tourney, Shorty halted Johnnie Smerdel, another local product, in the final round of their title bout. Waggoner represents the Washington A. C. and has dynamite in both fists. Waggoner has not yet seen action in The Times-Legion Golden Gloves tourney, but is scheduled to display his W'ares at tomorrow night's session. The tournament is being held at the local Armory. Opponents for the city flyweight king in the Golden Gloves tourney are Billy Sparks, F. & K. Health Club battler, and Rural Tyler, Colored Y. M. C. A. All are Open class contenders. The final winner will be sent to the Mid-West Tournament of Go.den Gloves champions at Chicago with the Indianapolis team.

The local program is featured by the intra-city clash between Washington's city champions and the Redskins of Manual. It will be the first meeting of the season of the traditional rivals and both squads have been practicing diligently this week in preparation for the fray. Coach Jones at Washington and Coach Bridgford at Manual ordered heavy scrimmage tilts against reserve squads in yesterday’s workouts. The Continentals will be hosts to the fast Greenfield squad on Saturday night. Cathedral, bolstered by the return of forward Johnny Shiel, who was out with an infected leg, has been pointing for two stiff tussles, playing at Greencastle tomorrow night and Brownsburg in the Irish gym Saturday night. Coach Dienhart is stressing offensive plays. Tech faces one game this week, meeting Franklin’s Grizzly Cubs at the East Side gym Saturday night. Coach Tim Campbell has ordered scrimmage drills in most sessions this week. The Green squad will be seeking its third consecutive victory. Coach Peterman at Shortridge is faced with the necessity of finding a center to replace Dick Palmer, who has dropped from the squad. Bill Pack is a leading candidate, but lacks in heighth. Coach Peterman has been testing Max Bartley, reserve center, in scrimmage sessions this week. The Blue Devils are host to Crawfordsville tomorrow night and journey to Rushville Saturday. Broad Ripple, facing two hard tilts against Zionsville and Southport, is going through long drills under the direction of Coach Ed Diederich and his assistant, Frank Baird. Crispus Attucks will be weakened for its games with Spencer tomorrow night and Plainfield Saturday night by the loss of Gerald Higgins, veteran guard, who has undergone J an operation.

Billy Roche, 62, former manager of champions and son of a bare-knuckle fighter, speaks of boxing's ills as a man who has refereed more bouts than any other official. "Politics is killing boxing in New York he said today, “mainly because the state athletic commission contains only one man—Bill Brown —who understands boxing. The others do not know a boxing glove from a biscuit and the deputy commissioners know even less.”
