By Eddie Ash OHIO EXPERIMENT IS WATCHED SOME ‘LITTLE’ PLAYERS SUCCEED

\yiiA' T is believed to be the smallest basketball quintet in Big: Ten history is representing Ohio State University this season and the team has been given the tag of Olsen's Midgets. The Bucks have two tall members on the first string, the other three being under the average height sought in players by the majority of coaches. Win or lose, however, the Ohio State record is going to be watched to see how well good little men stack up against the big fellows in fast company. Through the basketball years pint-sized pastimers have sprung up now and then to “amaze the multitude” by fast floor work and an accurate eye for the hoop. Asa general rule, however, college coaches go in for skyscraper talent and search high and low for the ceiling decorators. Warren Whitlinger, usually Ohio’s best scorer, stands 5 feet 6 inches; Tippy Dye is 5 feet 6; Raudabaugh is 5 feet 8; McDonald is 6 feet 1, and Thomas is 8 feet 3. The team average is slight'v more than 5 feet 9. This is the bunch that trounced Wisconsin last Saturday by a decisive score, and the Badgers are one of the biggest aggregations in the Western Conference. Wisconsin has only one regular less than 6 feet tall and its center, Ed Stcge. is 6 feet 6*. The attack oi the “little” Bucks bogged down against Purdue last night, however, when' the 'burly' Bdflfertrt&kfers’succeeded in controlling the tip-off and backboard rebounds, resulting in a smashing Purdue triumph. Nevertheless, Whitlinger of the Staters tallied eight point* and boosted his total to 26 in two Conferen.ce games.

nun WALDO SHANK, president of the Toledo A. A. club and Red Trautman, prexy of the Columbus Red Birds, were at swords points last year during most of- the season. The argument grew out of a doubleheader between Hens and Birds that was protested by Toledo. Waldo and Red would have made a “natural” match in a boxing or wrestling ring. Yet it was Shank who nominated Trautman for the presidency of the league this winter. And Red was elected. Enmity has a short life in the national pastime. a u a THE Bostorf Nationals have discarded the name “Braves” and are conducting a fan contest to select anew “handle.” Years ago the Indianapolis club decided *he name “Indians” w'as a jinx and changed It to “Browns.” The so-called jinx didn’t bat an eye and the club kept right on losing. The name “Indians” was restored. n n ft They’re talking about a capacity crowd of 20,900 filling the Chicago Stadium for the Joe Louis-Charlie Retzlaff fistic bout, Jan. 17. And they’ll probably get it. Louis, the human gold mine, would pack ’em in if he fought Tom Thumb. nun THE lowa fieldhpuse. was less than half-filled when the Hawkeycs upset the Illini quintet the other night in a Big Ten contest. Even the lowa fans thought their team was no match for the invaders. Basketball is becoming that way even in the high school bracket. Only certain games get the crowd. nun Arthur Hendrix, the’ lennisser,’ went from the strawberry section of Florida at Lakeland to the Sugar Bowl at New Orleans and knocked off Wilmcr Allison, the natiortil champ. Now watch out for the addition of a Strawberry Bowl to the nation’s sport picture. n n n PEPPER MARTIN has been “elected” to play right field for the Cardinals this year. He made 30 errors at third base last season in 114 games. But Pepper doesn’t always go for a change of pasture. He was shifted to center in 1935 and was back on third after four days, j The Wild Horse thinks he’s being j placed in the doghouse when he’s j moved away from the hot corner. !

The Hawks downed Illinois Saturday and were idle last night. Elliott Important Purdue’s 36-to-27 victory over Ohio State here last night came as a surprise, especially as the Boilermakers had a spotty, record in preconference competition. They had lost to Butler, Temple and New York University. Elliott’s control of the tip-off and ability to take the ball off of the backboard enabled the visitors to win. Ohio State, which has the smallest team in the loop, found the lack of size a handicap.

Early in the second half they boosted their margin to five points. After a time out, the Purdue boys reorganized their offensive and came back to win.

Retzlaff to Depend on ( One Punch ’Against Louis Duluth Fighter Sees Knockout Over Joe His Only Chance; Negro Admits Respect for Rival’s Right Fist. BY WINTHROP LYMAN United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Jan. 7.—Admitting frankly that his only hope for victory lies in a quick knockout, Charley Retzlaff, Duluth’s erratic heavyweight, announced upon his arrival here today that he’ll depend on one punch to defeat Joe Louis in their scheduled 15-round fight at the Chicago Stadium Jar. 17. “The odds are all against me and I’ll lose on points if I go the route,” the big slugger said.

"But there’s a knockout in my right fist, don’t forget that. It knocked out Art Lasky twice and he is tough. It has given me a record of 50 kayoes in 68 fights. “I know every one’s betting that I’ll be the victim if any knockouts are scored in my fight with Louis. So why shouldn’t I take a chance? It would be worih a big fortune to me if I could just knock Joe down, even if he gets up and beats me. “But if you look at my record you’ll find that when I have knocked good men down I haven’t let them get away.” Retzlaff looked physically fit as he opened intensive training at a lcop gymnasium. He did his preliminary conditioning on his ranch in North Dakota and in a St. Paul gym. Trying to Come Back The Duluth fighter is in the midst of a comeback after months of inconsistent battling. Since he was knocked out by King Levinsky and i lzzy Gastanaga he has scored a two- j round knockout over A1 Ettore, decisioned Ford Smith and Johnny Risko and punched Lasky into oblivion in 10 rounds. Ettore is considered the best! young heavyweight in the East. Even Louis, who fears no living heavyweight, admitted respect for Retzlaff’s punch. The brown battler says he won’t fooi with the Duluth fighter any longer than necessary. “He can punch and a puncher is liable to clip me or any other \ fighter, so I’m going to beat him io j it,” Louis said. The Negro’s trainer, Jack Blackburn, announced that only one day of boxing is on the schedule this week. Joe Taking It Easy “I'll probably send Joe against three or four sparring partners tomorrow, but on the other days he’ll just do road work. He's down to 200 pounds now and I want to keep him there.” Retzlaff plans to box almost daily until 24 hours before the fight. Mike Jacobs, who brought back the million-dollar gate to prizefighting in promoting Louis to the fistic heights, will return to New York tonight after a final conference with Jim Mullen and Nate Lewis, co-promoters at the stadium. He promises that the stadium will be sold out completely. The fight will mark Louis’ first appearance in Chicago since his one-round knockout of King Levinsky at Comiskey Park last fall.

County Tourney Time Here, With Boxers, as Well as Net Aces, Out to Toss Leather More Than 60 Amateur Fighters Reported Ready to Battle for Titles in All Divisions: Answer Opening Gong Friday Night. BY PAUL BOXELL It's the open season for county tournaments. Basketball championshifts are coming up for dispute in several districts of the state this weekend. Our own Marion County is right in the thick of the schedule, too. but the hardwood harriers in this neck of the woods have to move over to share the spotlight with another sport of bounce and bruise, where foula

are not sanctioned—pugilism. Amateur mitt slingers of the county are tapering off today for their fourteenth anual smack-down session which begins Friday night at the South Side Turners arena. Since more than 60 scrappers are expected to enter the competition for glory (gold omitted), it is likely that another session will be held on the following Friday night, Jan. 17. Deluge of Fists The first fight is to start at 8 this Friday night and an unceasing deluge of ambitious fists will flow until each triumphant mi 11 ma n has fought twice and the field has been narrowed to the semi-finals In all divisions. All bouts are scheduled for three rounds. Judges will be on hand to render decisions when knockouts are not forthcoming to settle the issue. For the first time in the history of the event the color line has been erased, and several Negro youths are expected to add spice to the programs. Entries are being received from the Bess Athletic Club. Negro Y. M. C. A. and Crispus Attucks High School in addition to South Side Turners. Oliver A. C., Ft. Harrison, Y. M. C. A.. N. A. G. U., P. R. M a 11 or y, Indianapolis Power & Light, English Avenue Boys’ Club, Wallace and Monaghan gym, Colonial A. C., and the Plainfield Boys’ School. ‘Freshies’ in Own Class The novice division, a recent innovation in amateur fisticuff curriculums, will have its place in the tourney. The new class opens the canvas door to glove-minded youngsters who are anxious to make their start, but realize that they haven't a shadow of a chance against seasoned veterans. Thrown against an experienced rival, the novice gives his best, takes a lacing, and often loses his boxing ambitions in a whirl of welts. The situation is the same with the amateur who steps into the professional ring while still green and soon hangs up the gloves in confused disappointment. Accordingly, all novices will be pitted against boys of their own capabilities. Awards will be made to novice winners. Rewards for title gainers in other divisions will be made In the form of wool sweaters appropriately monogrammed. The Tourney ‘Alumni’ Several of Indianapolis’ better known pros are graduates of the county tourney. Tracy Cox, Roy Wallace, Happy Atherton, Sidney Glick, Ray Hahn, Scotty Scotten, Lou Thomas and Howdy Stout all were county champions during their days of simon-pure slugging. Arthur Paetz, a veteran matchmaker, along with a committee of assistants and A. A. U. officials, have worked the show out in detail, and predict the most successful county tourney ever held. Paetz announces that entries in all classes will remain open until tomorrow night.
