Marshall, who holds two draws with Jim Londos. has let it be known that he hopes for another ‘shot ’ at the champion and that he does not want anything to stand in his way of getting the opportunity. He considers Edwards a real rival and a “tough customer" who knows all of the tricks of the mat.

Hamas, Schmeling Await Elimination Bout in Germany By United Press HAMBURG, Germany, March 9. Steve Hamas and Max Schmeling loafed today, awaiting the 10-round fight tomorrow which will eliminate one of them from the ranks of heavyweight contenders. They completed their workouts yesterday. The weighing-in ceremony will be tomorrow morning. Persistent reports that Hamas would be a poor match for the former champion because of his condition. today brought a denial from A1 Thnma. Hamas' trainer. "Hamas will be in top form.” Thcma said. “He will be in as good condition as he has ever attained in his life, and prepared to give Schmeling a licking like that other one at Philadelphia a year ago.” Hamas has become extremely popular with Germans and for that reason probably will enter the ring even in the betting. The black Uhlan, first boxing champion German has had. is and will continue to be the favorite with the majority, but the American has captivated a large following. His background of university education has lifted him out of the pugilistic herd into a high place in the mijids of the Germans. Sparrow Robertson, sports editor of the Paris edition of the New York Herald, has been definitely selected as one judge. A German judge and a referee remain to be named.

IEROY EDWARDS has more than verified the promise he delayed j in high school of becoming one of the best basketball players in the country. Performing in the center circle for Coach Adolph Rupp’s University of Kentucky Wildcasts, he is drawing praise from coaches and critics throughout collegiate domains for his all-round hardwood

ability. s Leroy is a product of Indianapolis Tech High School and Coach Tim Campbell. He was regarded as the best high school pivot artist in the state a few years ago when he was keeping North Central Conference bookies busy at their addition lessons. Edwards, now standing 6 feet 5 inches and weighing well above 200 pounds, shaped up during the present season as the best pointgetter the Southern Conference has ever had. He favored Kentucky’s brilliant season with 343 points in 20 games. a a a IT is next to impossible for opposing guards to stop Edwards when he executes his crowding pivot shot without committing obvious mayhem on him. Hoosier high school guards made that discovery but could do nothing about it; now the country’s collegiate defensive stars are up against the same thing, much to their regret. New York University alone found the answer—that being to go right ahead, with the mayhem and let the referees take the rap. a a a Which all leads up to the story that came out yesterday of Edwards' feat against Xavier Thursday night. He was “under the weather’’ with a cold—barely able to talk —when he went into action in the first half. During that half he hooked in a grand total of 16 points. He played hardly a minute in the second half, and was taken to the hospital for examination after the game. If he recovers quickly, he will be tagged plucky; if his cold deepens, he will be called foolhardy; in either event it’s doggone good basketball. ana Incidentally, Tim Campbell is still reported in “fair” condition at the City Hospital, where he is recovering from an automobile accident. a a a SUPERSTITION scares again! . Bob Morgan, star Waveland guard, is undoubtedly battling in the Waveland-Clinton game at Attica this afternoon with a rabbit foot pinned to his jersey. Bob wor? the good luck paw for the first time in a mid-season game, and the Wavelanders went big that night. The paw has been a regular part of his outfit ever since and Waveland has won 12 of its last 13 tilts, including the Crawfordsville sectional triumph. If Norb Kneisly’s Wavelanders walk away with the Attica regional how are you going to poohpooh this superstition stuff? A dozen select rabbit digits to Lafayette. in that event, please—C. O. B. (Collect on Backboard). a a a Ole Backboard is in a rut today. He can’t come out and say this or that positively about the regional, because the actual scores will be contradicting him 'ere day is done. He can’t rap off a ditty or two on the great fieldhouse finale, because he won’t know until tonight who is going to be there for the last Curtain call. He can't delve into history for a column or two because all ye Hoosiers are too highly worked up over the regional entanglements to waste much patience on anything but up-to-the-minute dope. He can’t fall back on the mail bag. because all the correspondents are making regional boasts

Diamond Dust From Dixie

By United Press TAMPA, Fla., March 9. Babe Ruth, in the box score as an ace pitcher and after that as one of the best of outfielders and king of sluggers, began his career today as an infielder. He was marked down for first base with the Boston Braves against the Cincinnati Reds in an exhibition game here. How long he will be able to hold the job depends upon how T well he does. MIAMI BEACH, Fla. —The New York Giants hoped today that their first exhibition game was indicative of what they will do when the season opens. They looked and felt like winners.

The records in his first attempt were 28 seconds for 50 yards, 43.3 seconds for 75 and 59.7 for the 100.

Fehr Stars as Bowlers Smash Out Huge Scores John Rolls Perfect Game; Three 700’s Posted; Cookmen Set New Record; Maizie Lathrop Tallies 610.

BY BERNARD HARMON One of the greatest scoring sessions of recent years was recorded by the bowlers of the Friday night leagues as they w’ent through their paces on the alleys of the city last night. Three individuals totals were well over the 700 mark, one 300 game was rolled and the city’s highest team score of the season was posted. Johnny Fehr, star lead-off man for the Cook’s Goldblumes used a perfect 300 game to net himself a 759 total in the Fountain Square Recreation League. His 300 game was the second of the week, both perfect scores coming from members of the Cook team. Eddie Striebeck had the necessary 12 consecutive strikes in his Indianapolis League appearance Wednesday night. Fehr had games of 221 and 238 to go witlu his 300 game, which was the third (ft 15 years of bowling. Cookmen Combine 600s Three other members of the Cook team chipped in with 600 totals, and they emerged from their series with a 3209 total, which is the highest team total posted this season in any league of the city. Lee Carmin contributed, a 674, Jess Pritchett a 641 and Larry Fox a 612. Had Ed Striebeck been in his usual form it is hard telling where the crack outfit might have stopped. All Ed Could garner last night was a 523. The Goldblumes used games of 1081, 1001 and 1127 to set their record, and, with this kind of pin-toppling, had no difficulty in swamping the opposing Falls City Hi-Brus in all three games. The Hi-Brus failed to produce a 600, Jack Hunt's 575 being the nearest approach. Paul Striebeck Hits 719 Paul Striebeck was off to a flying start in his series with the Indianapolis Towel Supply team, getting a 276. and when he put games of 205 and 238 along-side this huge start he wound up the evening's series at 719. Johnny Murphy, with 681. Arch Heiss, with 624. and Joe Fulton, with 611, joined in with Striebeck in giving the Towel team a 3i75 total and a two-game victory ov. r the Polar Ice and Riel. The Polar team slipped over a win in their middle game, nosing out the Towel sharpshooters by two pins, with a 1003. Thad Tedrowe and Les Koelling produced the best scoring of the losing team, getting totals of 648 and 611. The winners garnered their tremendous total through games of 1046, 1001 and 1128.

Purdue Seeks Title Share in Closing Game Boilermaker Five Plays at Northwestern While I. U. Meets Gophers. By United Press CHICAGO, March 9—Western Conference basketball will reach its 1935 conclusion tonight with Purdue still fighting for a one-third share in the conference championship. The Boilermakers meet Northwestern in Evanston, while Indiana and Minnesota wind up in Minneapolis. The 1 irdue-North\vestern game has a double interest because, while the team is attempting to pull up even with Illinois and Wisconsin, which completed their schedules last week, Purdue's all-conference forward. Kessler, will be shooting at individual scoring honors of the league. Kessler needs only 11 points to pass Chicago’s Bill Haarlow, his mate, in the forward line of the allstar team selected by conference coaches for the United Press. Haarlow scored 156 points, Kessler has 146 points. The all-time conference record is 167 points. By winning, Purdue can reach a .750 percentage, giving the Boilermakers a share of the title. A loss, providing Indiana wins, would create a triple tie for second place. Standings: w. L Pet. Pts OP.
