Fahrbach Shakes Jinx to Pace City Loop Bowlers Lou Smacks Out 678 for Bingham Rollers; Hickey is Runner-Up, With 668 Tally.

BY BERNARD HARMON Lou Fahrbach finally chased away a jinx that has halted him on several occasions during the present season when a big total was in sight. Rolling in the Pnntcraft League at the Pritchett alleys, Fahrbach pounded the maples to a 678 tune for the best incividual total in the city during the evening's pastiming.

Hickey's top series gave the Trefy's Inn a double win over the Wizard Machines. Schuster Coals rolled without opposition. Bud Argus found Ralph Stonecipher a hard man to elude during the L. S. Ayres’ session at Pritchett’s last night, for when Argus had completed his three-game series with a 645 total he found "Stoney” had turned in an exact copy of his series. These two boys were the only members of this league to pass the 600 mark. Walter Lang trailed the pair with a 585.

Doyle Arrives in States for Ring Invasion Irish Heavyweight to Get Test From His Adviser, Jack Dempsey. BY LAWTON CARVER United Fress Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Feb. 8 —Jack Doyle, a fighting Irishman, tenor and movie actor, looked over the city today and was just about ready to admit he was in the land of clover. The heavyweight champion of Erin expects to whip Max Baer within a few months, but first will make an extended exhibition tour. The common weakness of heavyweights from the British Isles, inability to take it on the chin, doesn't worry Doyle. He has other means of livelihood if convinced he's not destined to be Baer s successor. "But I am not here to sing or to act, although I do both well,” he said. "I am here to fight and I shan't leave until I have won' the heavyweight championship.” Doyle stands 6 feet 4 and has curly black hair and blue eyes. Except for shoulder breadth and man-sized fists, he doesn't look like a fighter, although at 22 he is a veteran campaigner of five years, starting at 17 when he was a member of the Irisn Guards. Jack Dempsey has been cut in on Doyle's contract to act as adviser, instructor and assistant on the tour. Walter (Good Times Charley.) Friedman, who discovered Doyle recently while visiting abroad, revealed that the only fight Doyle has failed to win was one with Jack Peterson, British champion, whom he bounced around for two rounds only to be disqualified for pitching a punch out of bounds. Next week Dempsey is going to put on the gloves with Doyle and see if he can punch. Flanagan Chosen Duquesne Mentor Former Notre Dame Grid Star Succeeds Bach. By United Press PITTSBURGH. Feb. B.— The Notre Dame tradition was maintained at Duquesne University today with the signing of Christy J. Flanagan as head football coach for 1935. Flanagan, former Notre Dame star, succeeds Joe Bach, also an exIrish gridder, who resigned to coach the Pittsburgh Pirates professional gridders. Flanagan will retain his position as athletic director, which he received after Elmer Layden resigned from the Dukes in 1933 to return to Notre Dame as head football coach. John P. Smith, another ex-Notre Dame star, and coach at Newark Academy, nas signed as line coach, Duquesne officials announced. Seaback Triumphs Over Local Cuemen Charles Seaback, nationally known billiard teacher, opened his exhibition and instruction appearances here last night by scoring two victories over local players. He beat Charles Hardy, 125 to 32. in four frames, in a pocket billiard match at Dougherty’s parlor. The expert posted runs of 67 and 56. Cyrus Sochalski fell victim to the cue master at the Uptown Recreation, in nine innings. Seaback collected a run of 42. The score was 125 to 37.

' | X)DAY is Correspondence Day That being decreed, let's proceed A without further ado to dig into the ole’ mail bag and see who's raising the dickens about what and from whence comes those questions that can't be answered. The first "cat" out of the bag is one of those “warning” affairs. But, despite its catty-ness. give heed. Dear Backboard—To hear Wash-

ington and Shortridge talk, the coming sectional will be ah Washington and Shortridge. BUT, they have talked without taking the Ben Davis Giants into consideration. May I call your attention to the Giants' victory over the city champs a few days after they won their crown and point out that the Giants walloped Greenfield, who had defeated the Blue Devils. Combining heightn. weight and speed, our Giants are going to be hard to beat. Keep your eye on the Purple and White. BEN DAVIS RED. You didn't mention Tech or Manual. Red. But, of course, you wouldn't be worrying about them. ana O. T. B.—Looks like a great year for southern Indiana teams. Jeffersonville. Jasper, Vincennes—then there’s the food old North Vernon Panthers still going strong. They walloped Seymour on the Seymour floor last Friday night. Evidently Sevmour was ashamed of the score as it failed to get to the Inlian apolis papers. Anyhow, it was North Vernon, 27: Seymour. 12. And X. V. was playing without veteran Jack Vandement. who sprained his ankle in practice. Jack will be out for two or three games. The Panthers have three games left Edinburg. Auroro and Brownstown, and should close their schedule with 19 wins against three losses. I.egs Downing, whom we believe the tallest renter in the state (6-feet-9) has been averaging three field goals a game sinee his second semester addition to the souad! MONK. Monk is the fellow who first announced through a letter to this column that Legs Downing was to join Shrimp Englehardt's squad. He's attracting plenty of attention. Monk. a a a Dear Backboard—May I ask you a question. Who is going to win the Indianapolis sectional? Who is going to win the regional in this section? By the way, when are you going to announce your favorite state team? BOTTSEY OF TECH. (Whoa, whoa, a thousand times whoa! Take it ea.-y. Thar's dynamite in them thar questions, little gal.) a a a Powerhouse Paul (the other one out at Shortridge). disdaining the sectional and regional scathings, looks ahead to the state tournev with a fancy phrase that may not set so well around town—especially on the south and west side: ’’The state crown shall rest this year with the Bluebloods of the Basketball Business—Shortridge.” a a a Dear Backboard—lt’s about time some one told all the fans in the state who is who in this crazy game of short pants and sometimes short pants. If you get what I mean. If I were picking three teams of the finals last year to be back this year, they would be Wabash (I expect you to disagree). Jeffersonville and Logansport. Only Jeffersonville and Logansport are possible stale champions of these three. And who else? Well, I would say Newcastle, Lafayette and Plainfield. Don’t accuse me of having relatives in Plainfield, because I haven’t. I am an alumnus of Tech and have rooted for that team the entire season. TECHNICALLY INCLINED. P. S.—When are you picking? a a a It's funny, the number of Teehites who are fondling Plainfield like an adopted son. Why this sudden fancy to the Quakers? Backboard, after considerable head-in-hands concentration, has narrowed his field of state ehampeen possibilities to 10. They are Noblesville, Jeffersonville, Logansport, Vincennes, Jefferson of Lafayette, Martinsville, Newcastle, Frankfort, Marion and Tech. It’s not so far from 10 to 1. any That’s all for Correspondence Day today. You guys are asking too many embarrassing questions. a a a KUNNEL B. STRANAHAN, Newcastle's Markin ’Em Upper, reports that a special traction car will lug Newcastle’s cage citizenry to this fair and hospitable city (how’s that, Mayor Kern . . . deserves a 10cent stogie, eh?) to view the Tech altercation. Writer Stranahan prods the Trojans to action thusly: “It has been years -a nd yeaic since Newcastle defeated Technical in a game played at Indianapolis. True, the Trojans have managed to trim the Big Green down several times when they came to the Rose City, but it’s a different tune over there.” tt tt tt POSSESSION is nine-tenths of the law . . . Frankfort can have the other tenth . . . perhaps you didn’t know it, but according to Chic Yarbrough, who puns ’em for the Frankfort Times "Frankfort’s reluctant donations to Indianapolis field goal factories —Dale Hutt at Tech and Jackie Dawson at Shortridge—handled affairs in the closing minutes last week to see that their teams finished up on the right side. Frankfort could use such ’finish' products”
