By Eddie Ash HATS OFF TO THE VARIETY CLUB: B a tt ORPHANS TO HAVE OWN MOVIES

YOUNGSTERS at the Indianapolis Orphans’ Home, 4107 E. Washington-st, are going to have a “real’’ Christmas present. They are going to attend the “movies” once a week, right in their own auditorium, and all because of the charity wrestling show to be staged Tuesday night at the Armory. The Indianapolis Variety Club is sponsoring Tuesday’s all-star, all-heavyweight mat program and approximately 50 per cent of the “gate” will go to the club’s charity fund. The fund u to be ucd to purchase a sound motion picture machine, a loud speaker and all necessary equipment which will be turned over to the Indianapolis Orphans' Home, according to an announcement today from Marc Wolf, ciu'o president, and Claude Penrod, chairman of the is .b charity committee. Lloyd Carter, matchmaker for the Hercules A. C . also is a member of the Variety Club's charity committee. Members of the club, including ‘ film row,” have pledged themselves to stage a special theater party for the youngsters once a week for the next year. In addition youngsters in other orphan homes in the city are to be guests at some of the parties. “We feel as though this will !5e a practical and a lasting Christmas gift,” Wolf said today.

u a a I N the United Press poll to select . the mythical national football champion Minnesota copped honors a the No. 1 team. The poll extended to all sections of the country and 142 sports w r riters participated. The leaders follow: 1, Minnesota; 2, Southern Methodist; 3, Princeton; 4. Texas Christian; 5, Ohio State; 6, Stanford; 7, Louisiana State; 8, Notre Dame; 9, California; 10, Pittsburgh. The Gophers were picked first by 98 scribes. Notre Dame had the distinction of squelching two of the ‘‘first 10,' Pitt and Ohio State. a a a OLLIER'S WEEKLY came out with its annual all-America team today with Grantland Rice as chief picker. Three Smiths made the team, North, South and Middle West. One Jones, the Ohio State captain, missed joining the Smiths, but the margin was close, Lester of Texas Christian beating him out as No 1 choice at center. Collier’s allAmerica is a perpetuation of the all-America founded by Walter Camp. The 1935 mythical team follows : Ends—Tinsley, Ivouisiana State; Mosrrip, Stanford. Tackles—Smith, Minnesota; Spain, Southern Methodist. Guards—Weller, Princeton; Smith, Ohio State. ( enter—Lester, Texas Christian. Quarter Rack —Smith, Alabama. Half Backs—Berwanger, Chicago; W ilson, Southern Methodist. Full Baek—Grayson, Stanford. Four of the group will see action in the Rose Bowl game on New Year's Day when Southern Methodist rlashes with Stanford. This unique situation will give the California sports scriveners plenty to rave over. TIMMY FOXX is likely to threatcn Babe Ruth's home run record of 60 next season. The left field wall at Fenway Park, Boston, is short and Foxx drives ’em that way. His nearest approach to Ru'Ys record was 58. a few years back. The Fenway wall is high, but Jimmy’s wallops soar. He once hit a drive over the left field tower at Perry Stadium here and the local park has one of the biggest playing fields in baseball. a a a From home plate to left field at Fenway Park is 312 feet. At Shihe Park, Philadelphia, Foxx’ former club, it is 334 feet. The distance at Perry Stadium is 350 feet. tt tt a IT IS said the Minneapolis Millers . are offering juicy cash sums to Kansas City for Dale Alexander and to Milwaukee for Len Storti.

basket and, if No. 2 is covered, No. 1 passes to No. 5. If the defensive man covering No. 4 shifts to take No. 5, then the pass from No. 2 goes to No. 4 on the free throw line. This play is particularly effective, because the action is close and covered, and likely to confuse defensive men. I Copyright, 1935.

City Welters Square Off in ; Clash Tonight Cox and Brown Reported in Fine Condition for State Title Go. | Tracy Cox, the slugger," vs. Wilj lard Brown, the boxer, is the feaj ture fistic attraction at the Armory 1 tonight where the two Indianapolis j mitt tossers will battle it out for the Indiana welterweight championship. The Hercules A. C. is staging the program which calls for 32 rounds of milling in all, a trio of “sixes,” an opening four-rounder and the top 10-round encounter. Action gets under way at 8;30. Willard is counting upon his boxing skill and ring generalship to cop the engagement, while Tracy has let it be known that he is determined Ito stop his opponent. Brown is to I have a weight advantage of several ; pounds as he has agreed to make | 147, togs and all, shortly befoie he | enters the ring. Cox figures to scale | 140, or slightly higher. The speedy Brown and the rugged Tracy have met once before with Cox coming out on top by a close i margin. The meeting was two years ago in Dallas, Tex., and reports I have it that Brown got away to an early lead, only to face a last-min-j ute rally on the part of Cox, which | gave the latter the nod. Willard's followers are of the belief that he has improved steadily during the last two years and will jab his way to victory. The supporting card includes the opening “four” between Bob Kann and Jimmy Tudor, local middleweights, and a trio of six-rounders, Scotty Fuller, Indianapolis heavyweight, vs. Big Bill Brady, Green- ! field ;j Billy Breedlove, Greenwood lightweight, vs. Kenny Manes, Fort Wayne, and Jimmy Shannon, local lightweight, vs. Joe LaPell, Louisville.

Bulldogs Key Defense on Speed for Franklin, Pitt Butler’s Next Foes Touted for Lightning Attack; Grizzlies Invade Tomorrow Night. Satisfied with the starting lineup of Batts, Jones, Brafford, Armstrong and Gerkensmeyer, Coach Hinkle put his Butler basketball .squad through a light drill at the fieldhouse this afternoon. Yesterday, the Bulldogs worked out in a three-hour scrimmage.

Coach Hinkle stressed man-to-man defense in order to get the players used to following the ball. The Pitt Panthers, who invade the Fairview goalhouse Monday, are noted for speedy passing of the ball, keeping it going until an opening is found. Lengthy drills in preparation for the visit of the Franklin Grizzlies to the fieldhouse tomorrow night also were held. The Grizzlies haven't much to boast of in the height department, but advance notices indicate that what they lack in towerance they make up in speed. Fritz Miller of Darlington probably will be the starting center for the Baptists. Coach Hinkle is grooming several for the Butler pivot position, and Scott Armstrong may be returned to his old berth at forward, with a sophomore at center.

Spaniard Thinks He'll Stay Limit, but Louis Promises to Try for Quick Knockout Betting Is 2 1 2 to 1 That Paulino Does Not Last Route Tonight in Heavyweight Fistic Feature: Veteran Mauler Hard to Flatten. However. BY HENRY SUPER l nitfd Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Dec 13. The fistic betting is 2 to 1 that Paulino Uzcudun of Spain Goes not last 15 rounds against Joe Louis, the Detroit Negro, tonight. And one of the few men in the world who believes those odds are cock-eyed is the old platinum tusked Basque woodchopper himself. .

“Upsidedown.” *3 Louis calls him. is a battle scarred veteran heavyweight who never has been kayoed or even battered to the canvas in 69 professional fights. He explained today why he thinks Louis will not become the first man to put Paulino on the floor. Uzcudun said“l have been lighting 12 years and nobody ever knocked me down. And that goes for Mr. Louis. His other opponents—particularly Max Baer and Primo CarnPra—were seared the minute they stepped into the ring. Neither of them was knocked cold. They just took a few punches and folded up without even hilling Louis a hard one. “But Paulino—he’s not afraid of anybody. And we will see if Louis is still the “dead pan ’ guy after he gets smashed in the nose a couple of times.” Backing Paulinos contention is his marvelous condition—reported by his trainers to be even better than that of a few years ago when he whipped Baer in a grueling 20rounder at Reno. But Paulino is 36 and Louis is 21. Louis is going to try and polish off Paulino as fast as possible. “I will do it as quicklv as I can.” Joe promised today. “But they tell me old ‘upsidedown’ is hard to get at.” Louis expects to scale 203 pounds. 15 FROSH NAMED FOR TECH BASKET SQUAD Coach Wayne Rhodes, new freshman baskptball roach at Tech, has retained 15 players from an original squad of 60 candidates.
