Former Wrestling Champ Paired With Roche Here Gus Sonnenberg Is Signed by Hercules A. C. for Main Go; Four Bouts on Program. An all-star, all-heavyweight wrestling show of four bouts instead of the customary three, and with several of the nation’s outstanding grapplers matching holds, will be offered by Matchmaker Lloyd Carter of the Hercules A. C. next Tuesday night at the Armory.

Indiana Tackles De Paul Quintet Timet Special CHICAGO. Jan. 3.—lndiana University courtmen will meet a strong De Paul squad here tonight, in a game which promises plenty of speed. The Crimson players hope to match clever passing, with the Demons’ fast-breaking attack. Hoosiers who made the trip with Coach Everett Dean were co-Capt. Stout, Gunning, Etnire, Silberstein and Liehr, forwards; Fechtman and Hoslet, centers, and Huffman. Walker, Platt and Scott, guards. WILSON TRIUMPHS IN BESS FEATURE FIGHT Durable George Wilson pushed enough leather into the face of George Woods to get the decLsion in the feature bout of the amateur boxing show at the Bess A. C. last night. All er lunters were for three rounds. Other results: Leroy Dycus defeated Rural Tyler, bantamweights; Alfred Osburn defeated Pete Wheatley. bantamweights: Elzy Batts defeated Bob Straton. lightweights, and Howard Hammond defeated Sammy Bible.

The local players are to match paddles with five-man teams from six other cities in a round-robin series which will see each team meeting each of the other cities in a nine-game match. New York, three-time winner and defending champion, is favored to emerge on top again, with Chicago, St. Louis and Indianapolis most capable of springing an upset. Cincinnati, Detroit and Omaha are considered practically out of the running. The Indianapolis squad consists of Jimmy McClure, Joel Inman, Henry Spaulding, Lester Adams and Earl Coulson. The trip means more than a bid. for inter-city supremacy to McClure, pictured at top here, who is expected to be a consistent victory snatcher for the local team. Jimmy After Revenge The meet gives Jimmy his first opportunity for rematch with Abe Berenbaum, New York luminary, who defeated him in the national finals last year and knocked him from No. 1 to No. 2 position in the United States rankings. Berenbaum is the captain of the New York club, and McClure’s chance for revenge will come when the local squad squares off against the Easterners at 9:30 tomorrow night. It has been announced in Chicago that this team match probably will be broadcast over a Windy City radio station. The Hoosiers are to oppose Cincinnati tomorrow afternoon. Omaha and New York tomorrow night, St. Louis and Detroit Sunday afternoon, and Chicago Sunday night. The event will attract every outstanding player in the country, and the local paddlers ha e been given added incentive to upse> the “name” stars with the announcement that •the five-man team to represent Uncle Sam in the world tourney in Prague will be selected on the basis of performances in Chicago. Veteran and Youngster Lester Adams, pictured in center, recently was dethroned as state champion by McClure; Joel Inman, lower, is McClure’s doubles partner and ranked No. 2 in the state; Spaulding is one of the city’s experienced veterans, and Coulson is the best of Indianapolis’ younger crop of promising performers. Matches are to be played in the Lake Shore Athletic Club ballroom. The Indianapolis Table Tennis Association is sponsoring a “Bingo Party” to be held at the Paddle Club Monday night. The purpose of the party is to raise a purse to make Indianapolis’ quota for the “Fighting Fund,” which will be used by the United States Table Tennis Association to send Yankee players to the world tourney this spring. The party will begin at 3 o'clock. Tickets are being sold by local association members.

The top tug, calling for two falls out of three, is to pit Gus (Dynamite) Sonnenberg, 210, former champion, against Dorve Roche, 220, crack New Orleans matman who has been a consistent winner here. One of the supporting matches which promises to excite high interest among Hoosier fans will see Am Rascher, 215, former Indiana University grid and wrestling ace, “o against Ernie Zeller, 230, of Terre Haute. Rascher has not appeared here for several months. Zeller, a former Indiana State Normal athlete, ht-s never grappled in Indianapolis and has appeared in only two Hoosier rings. The big fellow entered the game three years ago in the East and has reached the top ranks in mat circles in the New England States and Canada. Leo Numa, 218, who won five bouts here a year ago without dropping a match, is to return in another supporting tussle. The former Washington State athlete from Seattle, since leaving the territory, has battled his way to a victory over George (Cry Baby) Zaharias and scored twice against Orville Brown, the “Indian deadlock” hold artist. Carter plans to send Leo against a formidable foe. The fourth tug is yet to be arranged. There will be no price increase for the show.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Michigan Quintet Edges Out Butler in Torrid Scrap as 8000 Look On at Fieldhouse John Townsend Puts Wolverines in Lead; Meyers Sinks Clincher for 26-23 Victory; Locals Miss Gerkensmeyer; Battle Thrilling Throughout. BY TOM OCHILTREE Nervous, but happy and victorious, the University of Michigan’s net team journeyed toward the home port today convinced that the local Butlers had put them through a minor cyclone. The Northerners couldn’t do much cheering. They were too breathless. In a barbarous exhibition of Pier Six basketball, this high-geared Wolverine machine, swept forward in the final minute to nose out the

gallant Bulldogs, 26 to 23. last night. This court epic was played at the Falrview Fieldhouse before a humid crowd of 8000, the largest local congregation of the season, and when the customers weren’t making editorial comments about the officials they were dithering with hysterics. The scoreboard went through wild gyrations, as first one team and then the other launched powerful uprisings. Neither combination was able to gain a safe lead, partly due to the fact that both were erratic on offense. , For short periods both squads would go at tremendous rates of speed, only to slump down and walk around the floor in a dazed, flatfooted manner. As advertised, Johnny and Earl Townsend came to the party and did all right. These tall, quiet lads, who now are part of a glorious legend at Technical High School, passed the ball around very nicely, indeed. J. Townsend Did It It was Johnny who looped one In from the corner to give the Michigans a 24-to-23 lead with seconds to go. Then a six-foot forward, Earl Meyers, punched the last field goal through just to make sure. The Townsend brothers had their troubles, however. Both missed numerous chances from the field, and their knees quaked when they stood at the free-throw line. Earl blew four charity shots, and Johnny failed on one. The contest was rough enough. Playefs on both teams tossed their opponents around like so many careless adagio dancers, but it was that kind of a game. None of the fouls were intentional. They were committed in desperate attempts to stop equally desperate scoring drives. Under pressure of the second half, Earl Gerkensmeyer, Bulldog forward, was banished for filling his quota of personals. His mates missed him keenly, since he had been the spark of their attack and had counted three baskets and two free throws. The Butlers had 12 misdemeanors called on them, and the Michigans were caught playing rough eight times. There seemed to be others by both teams the officials generously overlooked. Mentors Have Jitters The mentors of both schools seemed disgruntled with their charges, and constantly bellowed unheard advice into the smoky atmosphere. It was hard to say whether Butler's Tony Hinkle or Coach Franklin Cappon, of Michigan, had the highest blood pressure. Gerkensmeyer drew “first blood” when he made a free throw. Then he and Roscoe Batts rustled the twine for baskets, while John Gee sank a free throw for the visitors. This made it 5 to 1, Butler. With easy grace, Gerkensmeyer made another charity shot, but the “brother act” began to function when Johnny and Earl made field goals. It was Chelso Tamagno who fooled the Bulldog guards and put Michigan ahead 7 to 6. He hit twice more to widen the gap to 11 to 6. and the rooters began to moan. The Wolverines used a “figure eight” break, similar to that employed by Pittsburgh, and Butler boys got confused. They couldn’t keep track of the men they were guarding. Visitors Forge Ahead At one time in the period, Michigan led 14 to 6, but before intermission the Bulldogs rallied and cut the advantage down to 14 to 10. The Wolverines were swept off their feet by the ambition of the Butlers when the second chukker opened. Gerkensmeyer hit to make it 14 to 12, Michigan, and then Capt. Toy Jones, of Butler, shot straight up in the air at nothing in particular. This made both coaches nervous, and they rose to their it 4 and shouted “Slow it down! Please take it easy!” Raging on defense, the Bulldogs ran down the floor and guarded in their own fore-court. So fast did. they move, that the Michigan players had difficulty advancing the ball across the middle line. George Rudriess tanked a free j throw for Michigan, and then Batts I shot a down-floor pass to Scottie Armstrong. In the clear, he went under and tallied the goal that tied the count at 15-all. Ralph Brafford and Armstrong scored baskets and Jones made a free throw in the most spectacular offensive thrust of the game. The score was 20 to 15, Butler, with 11 minutes to go. The Michigan boys hadn’t made a field goal in the second period, as yet. On defense they blundered around like bears hunting acorns, and often ran into each other. It didn’t last, though. Paced by Matthew Patanelli, the Wolverines came back to tie the count again at 22 to 22. Jones’ free throw gave Butler a one-point lead, but Johnny Townsend and Meyers got away for scores to win the game. The data: Michigan i2fli. Butler (23). Fg Ft Pf Fg Ft Pf B.

Lindberghs Influenced by Desire for Normal Home Frustration of Demands for Natural Boyhood for Jon Contributed to Voluntary Exile of Flier, Family

BY FORREST DAVIS NEW YORK. Jan. S. —A home of their own in the country and a natural, unguarded boyhood for Jon were the minimum requirements of Col. and Mrs Charles A. Lindbergh from life in their native land. The frustration of these human, reasonable and quite American desires contributed, I am assured, in no small part to their voluntary exile. For months Col. Lindbergh vainly sought a home to replace the Sourl.ind Mountain dwelling of evil memory. He canvassed the pros-

pects for security and quietude in various sections. He considered suburban St. Louis, the Rocky Mountain states, New England. He wished trees and hitls as a background for the boy's growth. Finally, he concluded that a union of safety and solitude was not obtainable. His family, he thought would be freer from annoyance or actual harm in the Morrow Estate, Next Day Hill, at Englewood, N. J.. or in the anonymous heart of New York City.

It was difficult enough to mainta in domestic privacy in New York. Once the colonel refused to occupy an apartment on the upper East Side, although paying the full year's rent, because the agents gave it out that he was to live there.

' •• ' /

Anne Lindbergh

When the tall, slim flier arrived to make final arrangements for moving in, he found a crowd collected on the opposite sidewalk. His prospective neighbors were pointing to the row of windows under lease by the famous tenant. The address of the Lindberghs in an apartment they subsequently occupied in E. f;6th-st, was not made public while they lived therft. Even so. it was necessary for the colonel to disguise himself when he took an evening walk. They tried apartment dwelling for only one year. Their stay at Englewood they regarded as also impermanent. The self-sufficient Lindbergh preferred, naturally, a home of his own. u tt tt ON the point of Jon's boyhood, the situation seemed more critical to the Lindberghs. Anne Morrow Lindbergh, who is, among other things, a student of child behavior, feared that Jon might be psychologically maimed if he grew up behind walls built by armed guards in a watchfully apprehensive household and an atmosphere of dread. Themselves accustomed, If not reconciled, to a segregated life, the Lindberghs objected to a similar existence for their son and later children, if and when they came. Moreover, when Jon’s parents thought of childhood they referred to the pleasant patterns of their own. Anne moved freely around the juvenile community of leafy, suburban Englewood. She attended school, played games with the neighborhood children, went to children’s parties—all without fear of kidnapers, venomous cranks or other unpleasant adults. The “snatch racket” had not taken its place in the American scene. In the Northwest of Charles’s youth, boys lived a freeborn, ranging life, hunting, fishing, skating, playing Indian and (a trial which Jon will, no doubt, be spared) doing the chores. Fear as a constant companion played no part in the childhood of Charles and Anne. They resented its omnipresence in Jon’s childhood. n tt u THE boy is 3 years and 5 months old, an age when his development is in full tide, therefore, after Mrs. Lindbergh was faced a month ago with the

alternative of withdrawing him from school or supplying bodyguards to and fro. she took stock She called for psychiatrists, who went to Next Day Hill, examined Jon and gravely consulted over his future. Jon. they assured his mother, had not been harmed thus far by the constant surveillance. But the effects might prove bad. If denied the easy companionship of other children at school and play; if he were to be aware of the presence of blunt, effective men with guns each time he followed a rolling hoop toward the boundaries of the estate; if the household stiffened with alarm at the approach of every unannounced stranger—the lad, they said, might groy neurotic. He might become excessively introverted. The elaborate safeguards thrown about him were likely to inflate his childish ego. A strong motive for the expatriation, temporary or permanent as it may be, lies in the psychiatric report. a u M&S. LINDBERGH withdrew Jon from the Englewood Little School founded by her sister. the late Mrs. Elizabeth Morrow Morgan, after Hearst cameramen waylaid her car, homeward bound from school, forcing it to the curb and attempting to snapshot the boy. She refused to subject the school to the added tension of armed guards. And, parenthetically, while the photographers closed another door on a free boy’s life for Jon they failed to obtain a recognizable likeness through the quick-witted-ness of Mrs. Lindbergh. Stunned at first by the recklessly crowding car and the running men, sight of the cameras restored her to full command of her faculties. She recalled her husband saying that it is difficult to photograph accurately through glass. She. therefore, raised the window next her. That is why—the reason has not heretofore been published the touched-up print displayed in newspapers here and abroad resembles Jon Lindbergh as little as that of any other fair-haired, blue-eyed boy of his age and race. Mrs. Lindbergh’s features also are indistinguishable in the picture. Jon had one refuge. That was his grartdmothar Morrow’s summer estate of'North Haven. Me. The home is on an island. Col. and Mrs. Lindbergh customarily reached it by air. There, surrounded by the Atlantic and with old friends and self-reliant, incurious Maine fishermen for neighbors, the boy played with only the remembrance of fear about him. The guard was relaxed and he wandered over the grounds without restraint. But Jon could not be maintained as an exile at North Haven the year round.

STABILITY IN FOOD MARKET SEEN BY AAA

Guarded Statement Issued by Consumers’ Counsel on ’36 Prices. Rg X nitrd Prr*a WASHINGTON. Js*i. 3 The year 1936 reasonably can be expected to see retail food prices “not unfavorable to the consymer,” Donald E Montgomery, AAA consumers’ counsel, tentatively predicted today. On the whole, he said, food prices should remain at approximately the same levels as In 1935, with a “reasonable expectation” that they may go somewhat lower. Choosing his words carefully so that when examined closely the report did not flatly say he believed price levels would take this turn, Mr. Montgomery said the food price range will, to a great degree, depend on “the trend of consumer income.” “If, as expected.” Mr. Montgomery said in his analysis of the food price situation for 1936. “there is a marked rise in consumer buying power during the coming year, retail food prices will be higher because of that fact than they will be if no such rise takes place. Same Level or Lower “Not all goods will respond in the same degrefc to that, influence, but all of them will respond In some degree. This does not mean, however, that retail food prices will be higher during the coming year than they are now. “Larger supplies of some foods for the coming year will tend to offset increased consumer buying power so that prices may hold at present levels or go lower.” Turning to individual items on the food list. Mr. Montgomery said that “meat prices are of most concern to the consumer. He pointed to predictions of higher pork prices from several economists, and balanced these with a tentative forecast of his own that pork prices might remain about the same, with a possible noticeable drop in the latter part of 1936 because of the increased supply of hogs which will be In the markets by then. Beef Costs May Drop Better grades of beef, Mr. Montgomery said, are likely to sell for less this year than they did in 1935. while poorer grades probably will cost more than they did last year. Asa reason for his prediction, he advanced the belief that poorer grades of cattle will be scarcer in the markets, while better grades will be more plentiful. Lamb, he said, probably will be higher in price than at any time since 1930. with the possibility that the price may go lower in the spring. Poultry prices will remain the same until May 1. he predicted, and then will drop somewhat, while egg prices should continue the current downward trend. Wheat and flour prices, he said, should' be lower in the coming spring and fall than at present if yields are normal. Bread prices should remain about the same. Butter Prices May Rise Milk and other dairy products are expected in general to be more abundant in 1936 than in 1935, Mr. Montgomery noted, and consequently prices “are expected to be lower in the first quarter of 1936 than in the same period of 1935.” Butter prices, however, will be higher than in 1935 if the expected increase in consumer buying power comes about, he added.
