The promotors had asked Tony to fight Wesley Ramey of Grand Rapids. but Tony requested an opponent a little easier." And the promote r realizing what Tony meant, picked Woods, who had been traveling the country boxing in tank town, and rarely m a star bout on any card. A left honk which begins low and *w p upward banged into Canzone n‘s n idsection and face and won the scrap for Woods, although the ex-champ scored heavily in the la vt three rounds and had Chuck in bad shape.

Catcher Jimmy Wilson. Phillv manager, broke off friendship with Frank.e Frisch the year before and they became enemies. Wilson was traded bv the Cards to the Quaker City and was made manager.

They rare for the dining room and devour the set-ups before the waiters have time to bring on the soup. The soup disappears as though it were siphoned, and then the shouting starts as the waiters stage a huttle race between kitchen and dining room hauling in the food. Many of the pastimers barely are able to walk after the evening meal when they really go to town stuffing them, elves. John McGiaw used to cure his holdouts by inviting them to camp and then let them peer into the dining room and watch the other players consume big steaks, countless side dishes and ice cream and pie FREE. The trick usually worked.

OFF THFi BAMAI vauanHMaMflbt by paul BOXELL—mmmmmaamm ONE of the interesting questions of the hour is—"who will be the darkest of the fieldhouse dark horses next Friday and Saturday?” Not necessarily meaning the team that might- crash through unexpectedly to take the title, but the team that, booked to drop out in the first round, will smear a coup.e of the big fellows before lapsing into submi.'Sion. Just as Jasper did last year.

Teams supposed to fold up immediately they hit a • name” foe may be listed as Berne. Roachdale, Mentone. Princeton. Montgomery, Nappanee and Tipton. Excepting Princeton and Nappanee, it is the first venture into the finals for the other five since the event has been held in Indianapolis. Looking back on past state tourneys. it is easy to imagine that one of the afore-mentioned will re-enact the giant-killer role in a couple of the dramas of this weekend. a a a PRINCETON, with a squad of capable six-footers, has bright prospects. Coach C. A. M'Connell's Tigers have copped 22 tilts while losing but three, including tourney battles. All of the five varsity men reach the two-vard mark! Bob Brown, the center, doesn’t stop until he gets to the 6 feet 6 mark. The Tigers hold decisions over all the Terre Haute schools, and dropped a one-point verdict to Basse of Evansville. a a a IN direct contrast to Princeton. there is little Berne, with not a man touching the six-foot stand- : ard. Rusty Felber. the center. | comes closest at 5-11'j. But the Berne Bears have disregarded their handicap to win 20 games thus far. while losing three. For awhile in the early season. Coach Pop Erne's Bememen were one of the undefeated teams of the state, winning 10 straight before they collapsed. Gick Steiner, the scoring ace of the squad stands just S-feet-T’j. Bluffton and South Side of Ft Wayne represent the largest conquests of the Bears this campaign. Berne is a Seven Day Adventist community. a a a Twenty-six victories and one defeat is the accomplishment of Mentone to date this semester. Warsaw is responsible for the single blemish, taking a 28-26 affair in mid-season. Mentone’s Bulldogs trounced Warsaw in the sectionals. 32-20. The Bulldogs form another of these ‘'every-position” squads, where the players are switched from post to post at will. The popular quintet from the northland is well known for its father and son combination. Hardy Songer. the father, is coach. Wally Songer. the son. a 210pound giant, alternates at center and forward.

Revolta and Pickard Win 4-Ball Meet ‘Dark Horse’ Team Scores 1-Up Victory in Golf Playoff. Ry L'mitrd Prrss MIAMI. Fla., March 12.—Johnny Revolta and Henry Picard pocketed SIOOO apiece today and figured it well-earned pay for one of the hardest victories ever scored in the international four-ball golf championship. They took top money from a S4OOO purse by defeating Paul Runyan and Horton Smith, one up, in the 18hole playoff which decided the annual tournament yesterday after they had finished the 36-hole final all square. Revolta and Pickard, “dark horse” team, were three up at the turn yesterday, but saw their lead dwindle to a single hole as the steady Runyan. P. G. A. champion, carded two birdies. Twice again in the last four holes Revolta. Milwaukee sharpshooter, and Pickard, long-driving player from Hershey, Pa., had to match birdies. They were equal to the occasion and clung stubbornly to their narrow lead until the finish. Horton Smith, lanky Chicago pro, who soon will defend his masters title against Bobby Jones and other greats, received SSOO for his share of the tourney, as did his teammate, Runyan, who hails from New r York. NAMED COACH AT KENT Ru I nitrd Pn ** KENT. 0., March 12.— Raymond J. Novotny, former professional football player and coach at Batavia <N.

Backboard midway in the season: "Cliff looks good to repeat to me.” The Berries at that time were engaged in a five-game losing streak and it didn't look so easy to Backboard. In fact, this scribbler saw the Berries in action on four occasions during the season and in every case watched the Weilsmen go down to defeat. But the Berries actually won 20 contests while losing six—so you can't exactly classify them along with the "dark horses.” Os the teams in the final 16, the Weilsmen split season games with Anderson and Frankfort, beat Richmond, and bowed to Jeffersonville. ana “Queen Myrtle.” the duck, certainly is the toast of Anderson. Indian town rabids invaded the Tech regional goalry Saturday toting miniatures of the honored quackster. Whenever the Indians boosted their score, little • Myrtles” were hoisted into the air all over the Anderson section. The favorite Indian fowl is sure to be on hand at the fieldhouse, Friday. The Anderson cheerleader always plants the duck atop ttis head and sprints completely around the playing floor before the game starts. They better rig up a saddle for Myrtle before Friday—it's a long, long ride around that fieldhouse floor. I'd suggest the cheer-leader go into training, too —or else send Myrtle into training and let her make her own jaunt. ana YOUR correspondant and Chic Yarbrough of the Frankfort Times have been trading punches since midseason, and it is doubtful if the slugfest will cease even now. But Backboard is afraid he will have to drop his guard for a moment and step out to compliment Chic on his S"r.uay morning story of the blow that spilled Jefferson. Not one note of gloat or Irony is inserted into the yarn. Praise for his home boys—certainly: but there are no “I-told-you-so" quips directed at the Jeffmen. Asa book reviewer would say, he “touches with restraint” the sudden sad ending for the visitors. Jeff was ahead. 25-17. as they drove into the fourth quarter, and led. 29-24. with but three minutes to play. Chic winds up his narrative thusly: •Failure to keep possession of the ball and continued firing at the hoop as late as the last three minutes cost the Bronchos the game. They were, arid still are. one of the best teams in the state, but the uncanny ability to pull games from the fire in dying minutes failed them once—which was enough.” yi

One of the five new faces in the state finals high school basketball tournament at Butler fieldhouse Friday and Saturday will be Mentone. Coach Hardy R. Songer brings a team from the little northern town for the first time in 24 years of I. H. S. A. A. state tournament history. The Bulldogs were superior in the Auburn regional last Saturday. The feat was not an upset because Mentone's basketeers defeated Warsaw decisively to win the sectional and throughout the season they captured 26 games, including sectional and regional tourneys, with only one defeat. Mentone will be a dark horse threat. The title of “Davids” in the 1935 finals likely will

Vantres nailed his foe with a crab hold in 10 minutes in the second frame, and took the decider in two minutes with the same hold. Verne Clark gained the decision in the semi-windup when Pat McCarthy was disqualified for foul tactics. Each grappler had scored one fall when the bout was stopped m the third session.

Without a single man who reaches the six-foot mark and most of their ten players lacking three or four inches of reaching that height, the little city up near Ft. Wayne comes to the classic for the first time because it has been able to knock off the “Goliaths.” Against South Side of Ft. Wayne in the regional final the Berne Bears were plenty tough, using speed and accuracy to upset the Big Green Archers, 23-17. Jerome (Gick) Steiner scored six field goals and a total of 14 points although he is only 5 feet 7 inches tall.

four worthy opponents with his “chiropractic,” but he boasts that he can beat any husky in the game if he can get them into a position to clamp on his pet grip. Tom Marvin. 215; Paul Harper, 220; Dick Raines, 225, and Sol Slagel, 255, have been local victims of Edwards. Marshall figures Edwards as t a “tough customer” who has a reputation of halting the winning ways of numerous top flight grapplers. Everett is rated the “No. 2" ace in heavyweight ranks. He went to a draw 90 minutes with Jim Londos, the champion, Feb. 28 in Chicago, and twice tossed the Greek star out of the ring. Jim Coffleld. 215, Kansas City. Mo., and George Mansur. 220.

Although the '’6oo” originally was meant to be a duel between the former Crimson speed twins and a homecoming attraction for Charley and Ivan, the addition of Pongrace should make the race a threecornered fight and increase the prospects of anew record. Pongrace is capable of pushing the Hoosier flyers to the limit. He was a member of the medley relay team which holds the Butler relay record. The event will not count points; but was added to the regular pro- ' gram to give Hoosier fans an opportunity to see Hornbostel and Fuqua in action again. It will be the second time they have opposed each other in their great track careers. In their first clash this winter in the East, Hornbostel was the victor but was forced to break the world's record to win. Prior to that time, many had wondered about the outcome of a race between the two Hooeiers over

Montgomery Gets Check From School Aid Fund, Team Coming to Tourney By United Press MONTGOMERY, Ind., March 12. —Montgomery High School today was to receive its state school aid check so that it might send its basketball team to the tournament finals at Indianapolis. The Vikings won the regional tournament at Washington, but James O. Bullock, trustee for Barr Township, where Montgomery is located, found that the team and teachers needed money for the trip.

Many Questions Keep Basket Fans Guessing as They Look Forward to Hoosier Classic Undefeated Team, Former Champions and Dark Horses Give Dopesters Galaxy of Angles on Which to Speculate; Battle ot Red Devils Looms. BY DICK MILLER Can an undefeated team win the Indiana High School Athletic Association state tournament for the first time in history? Or will one of the two previous winners in the 16-team field that will battle in the finals at Butler fieldhouse Friday and Saturday again emerge

with the high honors? Or better still, will the 1935 crown be captured by one of the 14 teams who never have won the coveted honors, five of which never before j have taken part in the final games? These and many more perplexing questions have the Hoosier high j school basketball fans groggy today as they peruse the schedule for the windup games in the 24th annual championship, trying to dope out a winner. Crimson Tide Rolls On Jeffersonville’s big team, known as the Crimson Tide or Red Devils.! comes to the grand finale undefeated. Under the careful guidance ! of Coach Janis Francis the southern five waded through a season of competition without defeat, escaped a close call in the sectional tournament when challenged by neighbor New Albany, then breezed through the regional tournament last Saturday with little difficulty. Records show that undefeated teams find tough sailing in the state high school basketball tournaments, particularly the final tournament games, and not once has a team, getting that far along, been able to take the final hurdle. Once a mighty undefeated Vincennes team met its Waterloo in the opening game of the final tournament. But there is a first time for j everything and Coach Francis and his boys as well as their supporters are hopeful. They captured 22 consecutive games, including two games in a blind tourney, during the regular season. They reached the semifinals of the state meet last year. The Red Devils Dopesters have a couple of great teams clashing in the quarter-finals next Saturday morning. They figure Jeffersonville can take Montgomery in the first round at 2. Friday afternoon, and that Michigan City will get by Mentone at 11 Friday morning. That would make it a battle of the Red Devils at 9:30 Saturday morning, since Michigan City also is known as the Red Devils. The Michigan City crew fell just short of sporting a similar season record in the state tournament, as they lost but one game during the season, to Froebel in a playoff for the Northern Indiana High School Conference title. Michigan CJty won the eastern division title and Froebel the western division honors. Giant Centers May Meet Michigan City has a 6-foot-6 inch center, William Vergane, and three others on the squad are over the six foot mark. Against Vergane. Jeffersonville offers "Tarzan” Thompson, 6-foot-4-inch center, a sub center named Brubeck of the same height, an five other players of six feet or more. This will be a battle of the ages if both get by their first round battles, and with both teams looking forward to the Saturday morning tilt, there is a sweet chance for one of those famous state tournament upsets. What could result in greater favor for the fans than a victory for little Mentone or Montgomery? Remember Sandusky and Beaver Dam? Frankfort Has Chance Frankfort, winners of the state title in 1925 and 1929 and the team that upset Jefferson of Lafayette, a state tournament favorite, iq the regionals last Saturday, holds hardly any more rating than that of an outsider, capable of being a dark horse, but rallies such as carried the Fighting Five to both regional victories in thrilling finishes may be repeated. But the other team that won the title before, Logansport, defending champions of 1934, is gaining more and more favor among the dopesters as tournament time nears. Coach Cliff Wells of the Berries has an enviable coaching record of .766 in 19 years of coaching. He has

IT’S SELLOUT A capacity crowd of 14,883 for the state high school basketball tournament finals was assured today with the announcement by Arthur L. Trester, commissioner of the I. H. S, A.

never failed to direct his team to sectional championship in those 19 years of coaching, five of them at Bloomington where he annexed the state title in his last year, one year at Columbus, and 13 years at Logansport. His team won the Tri-State championship at Cincinnati in 1927 and the North Central Conference championships in 1933 and 1934. Wells Is Ace Pilot He had a powerful team in 1934 and the boys who remained in school from that team looked great as they went along undefeated in the early part of the present season. They lost to Jeffersonville, then started a tobaggan but there aie many who feel that is part of Coach Well's plans. His team has been coming along gradually, walloping Frankfort just as the season ended and winning the sectional and regional titles with little danger. The Berries are regarded as a great team when they are going, and that means they are liable to be “red hot” in the tournament. Anderson was runner-up for the title in 1921, the highest the Indians ever went. They have a fast outfit, one that could come through. They are doped to meet Logansport in the semi-finals. As for Rushville, Princeton. Richmond, Berne, Roachdale, Shelbyville, Brazil, Nappanee and Tipton, their chances are like Mentone and Montgomery—outside, upset or dark horse chances. Jones Is Upset by Ramsey in Cue Play Walter Ramsey, veteran cue instructor. succeeded in scoring the first victor: of the Indiana threecushion billiard tournament over Neal Jones at Cooler's parlor last night, 50 to 48. It was the loser’s first setback in seven starts, but he still sets the pace, with six wins against the single black mark. Ramsey emerged victorious in the close tilt after 79 innings of play. Jones posted a high run of five, Ramsey, four. Leonard Quill and Cleve Kepner meet tonight at Cooler’s.
