■\yHAT promises to be a hectic battle for the Big Ten individual point leadership is under way and tomorrow night last season’s “top two” are to grin and grimace at each other at the Midway in Chicago. Purdue meets Chicago on the hardwood and the rival captains are sure to be in there pitching right up to the hilt. In 1935 Captain Haarlow of the Maroons collected 156 markers during the Western Conference campaign and Captain Kessler of the Boilermakers finished second, six points back. Last Monday Kessler hooked five “fielders” against Ohio State and Haarlow tickled the draperies seven times from out on the floor when opposing Wisconsin. Haarlow added four more points from the foul line Monday, whereas Kessler failed to boost his total via the free toss route. In the meantime Whitlinger of Ohio State, in two games, has collected 26 points, and Thomas of Ohio State has 20. Kessler has 10 for the one game and Haarlow 18. Other front runners at this early stage are Combes, Illinois, 15 (two games); Benham, Illinois, 13 (two games); Vopicka, Illinois, 13 (two games); Mitchell, WLsconsin, 12 (two games); Stege, Wisconsin, 11 (two games); Huffman, Indiana, 10 (one game); Henry, Illinois, 10 (two games). In the two games between Purdue and Chicago last season, Kessler had the edge, getting a total of 27 points as compared to 22 for Haarlow.

One Football Hero Files Notice to Wed; Another Has Nervous Breakdown

By United Press STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Cal., Jan. 10.—Two members of Stanford University’s football team, victors in the Rose Bowl game Jan. 1, crashed newspaper columns today for entirely different reasons. In Honolulu Bobby Grayson, Portland (Ore.) youth whose work at full back won him all-America mention two years, appeared at the City Hall to file notice of intention to wed Christine Williams, Stanford co-ed whose home is in the Hawaiian capital. Somewhat unfamiliar with his surroundings, Grayson appeared first at the divorce clerk’s counter to file his notice. The wedding will take place Jan. 18. Under less happy conditions Dale Beedle, 20, right tackle, was under observation at Agnews State Hospital after running berserk on a Southern Pacific train on his way from Los Angeles to Palo Alto. Dr. E. W. Mullins, hospital superintendent, said: “He has been suffering either from exhaustion, nervous strain, worry or excitement. I believe the excitement of the Rose Bowl game proved too much for him.”

Local Pro Quintet Faces Tall Foe in Clash at Armory When the Firestone Tire and Rubber quintet of Akron comes to the local armory Sunday to meet the U. S. Tire team of Indianapolis in a Midwest Conference tussle, fans will see some new faces in its lineup. Several of the old guard who have aided Firestone to become one of the outstancAig teams in the country •will be present, but the newcomers are more than carrying their share of the burden of winning games for Coach Paul Sleeks this season. Milas Shoun, the six foot eleven inch center, who has been with Firestone five years; Ed Garner, six feet six inches from Michigan; Soup Cable, six feet four inches, and Billy Reeves, the former Central Normal star, are the veterans with the club. The shining light this season is Beanie Berens, last season all-Buckeye Conference center with Ohio University, who is leading the clubs scoring, displacing Cable, who was the team’s leading scorer last season. It was Berens who led the victory over the Kautsky A. C. recently. Jack Shaffer, the only man of Olson’s Swedes who was abie to do any consistent scoring last season, is with the club. Another newcomer is Russ Estey, all-Ohio Conference guard with Akron University last season. Firestone has not lost a series to any team for several years, including the original Celtics. In six games this season Firestone has won five and dropped one, holding second place in the Midwest Conference. The U. S. Tires are in fourth place, since the Kautsky are tied for second with Firestone.

INDIANAPOLIS, FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1936

pion of the annual event. The Giants of Ban Davis were given a bitter fight by New Bethel, the former winning, 37-31. It was a classic and supplied the crowd with unexpected thrills as New Bethel rallied and made it a close struggle after the first period. Moore of Ben Davis tallied 23 points on 10 field goals and three foul tosses. The Giants finished ahead bv out-scoring their rivals 11 points to 6 in the last period. They were out in front at the half. 24-16. New Bethel Takes Lead In the third quarter New Bethel hit its stride and took the lead at one time, 24-23. Ben Davis got under way again and drew out in front. 26-25, and then clinched ths contest in the final quarter. The Giants’ advantage in the first period was 16-4. Dyer scored nine markers for Ben Davis. Anderson, Wheatley and Cowan were best for New Bethel with four field goals each. Uncorking a “firewagon” brand of basketball, Decatur Central rushed off .to a flying start in defense of its championship with a 42-to-17 victory over Lawrence. Long Shots Made The winners used a pell-mell offense, often tossing the ball the length of the floor to take a 20-to--10 lead in the first half and protect the margin for the remainder of the fray. High point man of the contest was Earl Gibson, veteran Decatur Central forward who totalled 16 markers. Leading the losers was Pierce, with 6 points. Beech Grove earned the right to oppose Decatur Central in a sec-ond-round game tonight at 8 o’clock by scoring an impressive 37-to-13 triumph over Oaklandon in the final game of the morning session today. Paced by Lady and Hoagland, the Hornets took an early lead and never were threatened. Beech Grove was in front at the half, 17 to 7. Lady, Beech Grove’s rangy forward, captured scoring honors with 12 points. Finals Tomorrow Night Pre-tourney favorites were Ben Davis, Decatur Central and Southport. Eleven teams outside of Indianapolis entered the annual event. Two games were on the card this afternoon and two tonight. In the championship round tomorrow’s schedule calls for two tilts in the afternoon and the finals at 8:30 p. m. Consolation games are to be staged tomorrow morning and the consolation finals at night as a curtain-raiser to the tourney title battle. One defeat eliminates a team in the championship round.

Renaissance Turn Back Locals in Scries Finale BY TOM OCHILTREE Victorious in their series with the KauUkys, the basketball manipulators of the New York Renaissance, star Negro combination, packed their bags today and left for points west and 100 more games this season.

Before they finish in California, they will have made every big town and most of the whistle stops in this exodus. But the remaining unsolved mystery is how they ever fold “Wee Willie” Smith, their giant center, into an upper berth. This gent, standing six feet seven inches, is built along proportions of an oldfashioned battleship. When you see him walk on the floor, his arms are so long, you don’t believe it. After wandering around the state, the New Yorkers posted three wins in four starts against the Kautskys, their final triumph coming in the Butler Fieldhouse last night. The score board showed Renaissance, 29; Kautskys, 27, but with proper inspiration the Negro team gave the impression it could have made the margin greater. So adept were the invaders at passing the ball around, they seldom bothered to take shots for the basket. Then when someone finally decided it was time to score, they usually rang the bell. Experience Shows After a shaky first half, the Kautskys steadied nicely and played a spirited game. They .were up against veterans who had been doing this sort of thing since 1923, however, and the experience showed. Two opposing guards, Frank Baird and Bill Yancey, were leading point .getters, and they did all their work in the second half. The former gained individual scoring honors for the evening with five field goals and two free throws, while the Negro ace looped four baskets through in quick succession. The Kautskys opened the tilt with a scoring burst, and soon had a 5 to 4 lead. Johnny Holt's gift shot then tied the count at 5-all. During a rally, George Chestnut sank two free throws and Norman Cottom dropped in a bucket for the Indianapolis pros. When Eyre Saitch hit from the corner of the court, the figure was 9 to 7, Kautskys. It remained that way until the end of the first quarter. Led by Smith, Holt and “Fat” Jenkins, the Renaissance knotted the count again, and then forged ahead, 16 to 9. A Kautsky time-out was called, but still the visitors kept control of the ball. All the locals did was get personal fouls called on them. Then Charles Cooper sank a free throw, and Jenkins made two charity shots to run the score up 19 to 9, Renaissance, at the half. Both teams played under difficulties iri the third period. Some of the customers brought along their dogs, and two of these pets wandered out on the floor. After they had tripped three players, a time-out was called and they were shooed off the floor. Aided >y Baird’s three baskets and two free throws, the locals again deadlocked the game at 21 to 21 at the end of this stanza. Yancey opened the last period with three baskets that gave his MEN'S FELT mb HATS 9li c ( 'leaned nnd Blocked (ft J and n Shoe Shine^. THE 5-MINUTE SHOPS 31 8.

mates a 27 to 21 margin. The game got pretty rough at this point, and it looked as though the boys had the basketball out there just as an excuse to have a free-for-all. Two more baskets by Baird, and free throws by Chestnut and Johnny Wooden, tied the score for the fourth time at 27 to 27. Stampeding down the floor like wild buffalos, the Renaissance got Yancey uncovered, and he dropped in the winning goal. The statistics: Kautskys (27). Renaissance (291.
