By Eddie Ash FISTIC FANS PREFER PUNCHERS • u a m JOE LOUIS PROVES IT AGAIN

P'OLLOWERS of the nose-crushing profession were aware | that Paulino Uzcudun was no match for Joe Louis, knew ! that the 36-year-old Spaniard had no business in the ring with the dynamiter. In other words, the bout was a set-up and the New York Athletic Commissioners evidently were in a fog when they issued a permit for it. Yet 19,945 fistic fans paid out more than $128,000 to see the thing go on. The answer is that the average fight goer is willing to pay if he knows in advance that a knockout is going to occur. The dancing masters and skillful boxers are not worth much more than a dime a dozen at the box office. The '‘mob" demands the punchers, and in the case of Louis and Uzcudun all of the dope pointed to an early slaughter of the veteran foreigner. It's a waste of time and effort for any lad to enter professional beak-busting unless he packs a haymaker and knows how to find the button that sends the customers home early. Dempsey, the puncher, packed 'em in at Philly when he lost the crown to Gene Tunney, and it was Dempsey, the puncher who packed ’em again at Chicago when a long count saved Gene and his title. Later, when Tunney defended his championship against Tom Heeney, the match lost money. The fans weren’t excited. Gene lacked a devastating blow.

a a a EVERY member of Purdue’s varsity basketball squad is a native Hoosier, according to the data sent out from the Boilermakerinstitution. And one of the group, John Sines, can pick up a basketball in each hand and hold them outstretched. That removes all doubt about Sines' state. a a a ,lne Louis, the human gold mine, is not going to make that scheduled trip to ( üba to smack down Isidnr Gastanaga. Joe says to let th* revolutionists go ahead and shoot it out.; he’ll stay at home and use boxing gloves to keep plenty of chicken on the table. a a a Eddie Montague still is making the rounds. The former Indianapolis infielder is to be back in the A. A. next year with the Columbus Red Birds. Eddie keeps track of his batting average on his cuff and brings it up to date every night before retiring. a a a If yon know where Corinth, Miss., Is located that is where the Toledo Mud Hens are going to do their training next spring. The Hens refused to go high-hat and passed up Florida. a a a INDIANA CENTRAL upset Butler and in turn was upset by Central Normal, It’s a dangerous thing to prolong a basketball winning streak in Indiana. The I. C. students hardly had returned to normalcy, after celebrating the Butler victory, when the pedagogues wheeled over from Danville and changed the subject of conversation at University Heights. nutt Buddy Myer, the 1935 batting rhanipion of the American League, was traded to the Boston Red Sox in 1927, in exchange for one player, Elmer Rigney. Washington was not long in realizing it had blundered and admitted it. To arrange for Myer’s return, the Senators gave lip six players, including two pitchers, three infieiders and an outfielder. it a a JUST another reason for the pensioning of umpires in the National League: Charlie Moran, veteran arbiter, is spending the off-season in the hospital recovering from an operation necessitated by an injury received in action last summer. It is said the American League soon will follow the National and arrange to pension its “guessers" who stay in harness over a stretch of years. a a a A New York promoter advanced 520,0( 0 to Max Schmeling for signing to battle Joe Louis next June. Now Max has returned to Germany, and after what the German saw when Joe slaughtered Paulino, we wouldn’t care to be in that promoter’s shoes.

X-3 hesitates briefly, then breaks with as much speed as possible around X-4, who finds X-5 with a pass. X-5 has the option of shooting, or passing to X-3, who, if the play clicks, has been shaken loose under the basket. Success of the play usually depends upon X-2 faking reception of a return pass from X-3, as X-2 goes down the middle. (Copyright, 1935, NBA Service, Inc.)

Michigan Banks on Local Boys in Big Ten Chase Townsend Brothers Convert Wolverines Into Serious Title Threat; lowa, Minnesota Outlooks Not So Bright. BY WINTHROP LYMAN United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Dec. 19.—One of the best Michigan basketball teams in several years is being assembled at Ann Arbor in preparation for the opening of the Bjg Ten race. The Wolverines should be a serious title threat and they are certain to be vastly superior to the team which won only two out of 12 Conference

games last year. In Earl and John Townsend, brothers from Indianapolis, Coach Frank Cappon has two brilliant newcomers to augment his veterans. John is a sophomore. At Technical High School in Indianapolis he was an all-state center, which means he was plenty good. John is six feet five inches tall, and his brother, a transfer from De Pauw, is six four. They are being used at the forward posts because John Gee, giant veteran from last year, is available for center. Cappon is well equipped for guards with Capt. Chelso Tamagno, Chicago; Matt Patanelli, Elkhart; Arthur Evans, Flint, and George Rudness, Negaunee, Mich., back from the 1934-35 aggregation. Patanelli also is a capable forward. Earl Meyers, a letter winner last season, also is expected to see service as a forward. The team will be one of the largest in the conference. Big Ten opponents will be Indiana, Minnesota, Purdue, Chicago, lowa and Illinois. a a a Looking at lowa THERE is no talk about a championship at lowa, where Coach Rollie Williams is building almost an entirely new team. Only two major letter winners from last season are left, Sid Rosenthal, Chicago, forward, and Capt. John Barko, forward. Barko was the fourth high scorer in the conference last year, but his intercollegiate competition will end Feb. 1, making him available for only half of the campaign. Bush Lamb, sophomore football star, is being groomed for Barko’s job. After Barko’s graduation, four sophomores probably will be in the regular lineup. Jack Drees, a six foot five-inch giant from Eu Claire, Wis., appears to have the center job clinched.

Williams expects to develop a pair of competent guards from Edwin Thompson, Marshalltown; Kenneth Suesens, Burlington, and Joe Van Ysseldyk, Muscatine. All are sophomores with plenty of size. The Hawkeyes won six and lost six in the conference race last year. Their opponents for the coming season are Illinois, Ohio State, Purdue, Chicago. Wisconsin and Michigan. a a a Over Minnesota Way CiOACH DAVID MAC MILLAN, J starting his ninth year at Minnesota, has seven lettermen around which to build his team. George Roscoe, football star who played forward last year, has been shifted to guard and has been teaming with Dick Seeback, another letter winner. William Freimuth, six foot, 200-pound guard last season, is being given a try at center although George Gustafson, a six foot, two-inch sophomore, is making a great bid for the position. Charles Wallblom and James Baker, both regulars last year, are expected to hold down the forward jobs. The Gophers have shown none too much promise in their preliminary games this season, especially in their 29-to-26 defeat by Carleton. They won five and lost seven in the Conference race last year. Minnesota’s opponents this season will be Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Northwestern, Ohio State and Purdue.

Pit-Pat Now the World Unrest Has Hit Table Tennis, City Players Learn.

BY PAUL BOXELL F-pHE breaking point has arrived. Something has got to be done about these revolutions; they’re becoming downright nuisances. Political unrest in Germany caused talk of moving the Olympic Games; civil strife in Cuba prompted Joe Louis to cancel a workout slated for Havana; and now comes the crowning blow of all—a brewing revolution has forced the world ping pong tournament right out of Jugoslavia! Local table tennis officials got word today that the site of the 1936 world classic has been changed. The big event was all set for Zangreb (that’s in Jugoslavia, and I can prove it), but the powders behind the paddle heard tales of trouble and decided to shift the whole thing to Prague, Czechoslovakia. So, as the tables are stacked now, the international pit-pat comes off ill Prague early next year. WHAT has this to do with Indianapolis? Well, it happens that Indianapolis is near certain to be represented by at least one player on the five-man American team which is to imbibe Czechoslovakian goulash. An inter-city tourney is scheduled for Chicago Jan. 4 and 5, and out of players who perform in that event wall be selected members of the Yankee squad. Seven cities are to compete—lndianapolis, New York, Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Omaha and Detroit. Paddling for Hoosierdom will be Jimmy McClure, Henry Spaulding, Lester Adams, Joel Inman and Earl Coulson. McClure is practically a cinch to make the world team, and

Trailing in Cue Tourney , Allen Chalks Run of 125 Veteran Kansas City Player Surprises Title Competitors by Completing Match in Three Innings. By United Press NEW YORK. Dec. 19.—Bennie Allen of Kansas City, 34-year-old pocket billiards veteran who last night ran 125 balls in the third inning for a shutout victory over Joe Procita, today was only tied for seventh place in the world championship tourney, but his remarkable feat still was first on the lips of fellow competitors.

It was the first such achievement since Ralph Greenleaf s 1929 feat of running 128 straight balls in' the second inning of a Detroit tournament match, having lost one point by scratching in the first inning. Allen, former champion in 1913, T 4 and 15, took from Erwin Rudolph—present leader of the “first ten” —his previous best game record

the other boys have an outside chance. But I’m still ahead of my story. Os more immediate importance is the state tourney, which goes into production Dec. 27, 28 and 29 at the Hoosier Athletic Club. ft ft ft INDICATIONS now point to the biggest tourney in Hoosier history, but officials aren't so proud of that as they are the promising success of two new divisions which they have tacked on the competitive list. Boys and Junior championships wall be at stake for the first time. The boys’ class is for youngsters under 15. I suppose 15 is the proper age for graduation from one paddle experience into another. The juniors are 15 to 17. The officials are smart. Instead of offering the boys’ champ a regular cut-and-dried trophy, they put up a fancy hunting knife—and 32 entries have whizzed in already. The junior list today had reached 12, the women’s 16, and men’s singles, 35. It would take more than a revolution to chase ping pong out of Indianapolis.

Illness Takes Heavy Toll in Blue Lineup Four Shortridge Regulars Unlikely to Play at Shelbyville. The Shortridge High School Blue Devils will play at Shelbyville tomorrow night with a revised lineup. Three, or possible four, regulars, suffering from influenza, probably will be unable to play. Jack Dawson. Dudley Swartz. Tom Brooks and Dick Mueller have been unable to attend practices this week, and Coach Kenneth Peterman is hoping the small epidemic doesn’t spread to the rest of the squad. In addition to breaking into the starting lineup, the illness of these players will make the Blue team short on reserve strength. McDaniel and Fobes at forwards; Bartley, center, and Brown and Fehsenfeld. guards, are being groomed to start. This will be the fifth game for the Shortnrigers who have dropped three decisions and captured one game.

They came into their own on their home floor yesterday and defeated a stubborn St. Paul quintet. 18 to 12.

Edward Roessler and Richard Wenning gave Manual a 10-to-6 lead at the half. Gallanrore, Wenning and Jack Hiatt continued to pile up the points for the South Siders, as the St. Paul guards weakened.
