r jpHERE are some towering heavyweights to be found entered in The Times-Legion Golden Gloves tourney and as all fistic fans like to see the big fellows slug it out a rare treat is in store for the ringsiders at the Armory. The Oliver A. C. has a young mauler in the Novice class weighing 230 pounds. His name is Glenn Maxwell. The Washington A. C. has to offer one Elza Thompson, Negro novice, standing 6 feet 4 inches and scaling 217. He is wearing house slippers during training because his feet are too large for the average size gym shoes. A hurry-up call has been flashed to Chicago for a pair of dreadnaughts. Frank Bell, a bean pole, weighs 210 and represents the Colonial A. C. And there are others looking for action in the class, including Karl Brauer, unattached, a Tech High School frjtoaiier. Several weight divisions will be represented on Friday night's program here and there will be about 38 bouts, the first at 7:30. It’s necessary to stage a large number of eliminations this week owing to the record entry list. Ticket prices are 40 cents general admission and 75 cents reserved. You’ll go around the world and still fail to find a similar bargain.

CHARLES * WELKER, a grid tackle at Manual Training here years ago, is visiting the old home town. He is located in far-off Tacoma, Wash., up near Mt. Rainier. When Welker was a Manual warrior the other tackle was Emmett Staggs, now a detective on the local police force. tt tt a Joe Cronin, playing manager of ihe Red Sox, has had so much high-priced talent wished upon him that he is afraid of his own job.

One of them got into Frankie's hair last night after the Cracker toughy had spent most of the evening tugging at Leo Numa's blond locks, and Mr. Speer wound up on the short end of a 2-to-l verdict. The only dissenting opinion was rendered by Mr. Speer himself, who stormed violently around the ring after he had been disqualified in the third and deciding fall of last night's feature mat tussle at the Armory. But his stomping and protests brought him naught but an overabundance of shrilly raspberries. Big Frankie captured the opening fall after 23 minutes of two-fisted action when he clouted Numa with a series of forearm smashes and right crosses and then fell on him.

After 12 minutes of the third fall, Speer tossed Numa out of the ring. Four times Leo attempted to crawl back, and Just as many times Frankie kicked him out before he had a chance to get inside the ropes, despite warning by the referee. When Leo finally made it, his hand was raised in victory. Then Speer stormed. The Armory was filled, and most of the 4000 came to see Daniel the Savage Boone, hound dog fancier and “scuffler” de luxe. Hill-billy Danny was first on the program and disposed of his foe, Dick Lever of Alabama, in just seven minutes.

Chief Contender for State High School Basket Throne Invades Realm of Champion Frankfort Clashes With Anderson in Feature Battle, Build-Up for Game Zooms When Indians Paste Muncie; No Favorites on Local Firing Line. BY PAUL BOXELL THE big high school basketball game in the state this week pits Frankfort against Anderson Friday night at the latter city. Like Braddock and Louis, Anderson is the actual state champion but Frankfort is tie uncrowned king of the courts. Whereas the Anderson Indians have been losing surprise decisions and winning just as unexpectedly, the Hot Dogs have knocked out every contender to bob up, except Tipton.

resumes its hearing of friction in the department on Feb. 6. Meanwell admitted giving whisky to two Wisconsin football players after the Northwestern game last fall, saying he felt they needed a stimulant after a discouraging defeat. He also defended the secret agreement by which he could remove Basketball Coach Harold E. Foster and his assistant, Rolf Poser. n tt TIECAUSE both Foster and Po-. ser were young and untried coaches, such an agreement was advisable, Meanwell declared. The athletics director, who served as Wisconsin’s basketball coach for 20 years, denied he had attempted to persuade basketball players not to go out for football. Regents also questioned Director Meanwell concerning basketball shoes and basketball equipment indorsed by him and used by the university. He said his income from the Meanwell shoe was about S2OOO a year. The present controversy started when John Golemgeske,' football captain-elect, accused Meanwell of instigating a petition requesting the removal of Spears as head football coach. The Badgers had a disastrous football season in 1935. Amateur Billiard Honors at Stake Shoemaker and Rogers Mix for Title Tonight. By United Press NEW YORK. Jan. 29.—J. Howard Shoemaker, New York, and Edward Rogers, Glen Cove, L. 1., will meet tonight in the final game of the national amateur pocket billiard championship tournament for the title.

Giants to Play in Washington Gym Ben Davis Renews Rivalry With Plainfield. The Ben Davis Giants, Marion County champs, are to meet the Plainfield Quakers, recent victors of the Hendricks County tourney, tomorrow night at the Washington High School gym. Long rivalry exists between the clubs, and a fast battle is expected. During regular scnedule play last season Plainfield triumphed over the Giants, 35 to 28, at Plainfield. Avenging this defeat, Ben Davis conquered Plainfield, 28 to 24, in the local regional. The game tomorrow night formerly was scheduled for Saturday at the Hawthorne gym, but due to an expected large crowd, it has been changed to the Washington auditorium. COHN PACES MANUAL HARDWOOD SCRIMMAGE With their annual basketball fray with Washington drawing near. Manual net snipers are increasing their practice pace in an endeavor to reverse last year’s score of 27 to 21. The game will be played Friday night at the West Side gym. Last night Coach Oral Bridgeford sent his charges into a whirlwind scrimmage in which David Cohn, center, starred. The scrimmage followed a drill on dribbling and passing.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 29, 1936

The contest couldn’t have worked up more timely ballyhoo if it had been a Twentieth Century Club prize fight offer. Just when events began to point to a “sure thing” for Evvie Case’s Hot Dogs, the Indians swarmed all over Muncie last Friday and handed the Bearcats a 24-to-8 pasting. Now they’re beginning to hint in Frankfurter town that the Casemen are “due to lose one.” tt tt tt NOT for many moons have Indianapolis teams appeared of such balanced strength, if strength is the word, as they seem to show this season. Select, if you can, a favorite j;, the Washington-Manual fracas cn the West Side Friday night, or the Cathedral-Tech tussle Saturday evening on the East Side. It can’t be done with a mite of conviction. Manual won the city tourney, but Washington has a superior season record. Neither was able to stop Ben Davis. Tech, though making no better seasonal showing than the Irish, admittedly has faced tougher opposition. But the Big Green demonstration in the city tourney boosted Cathedral’s pre-game stock considerably. Shortridge is on even-keel with the rest. Broad Ripple’s present quintet measures up closer io par than any Rocket edition in the past several years. tt tt tt IT appears that Forest Weber, Plainfield High School center, need not worry about the acquiring of a college education after he graduates. Forest, who for some unfathomable reason is called “Jake” by his team-mates, distributes his more than 200 pounds with perfect proportion over a 6-foot-4 physique. He is the key man of the basketball team. He is a star football performer. He heaves the shot with gusio, and came within a whisker of breaking the state record last year. What’s more, he is a baseball pitcher of sandlot renown. I haven’t inquired. but it’s a safe bet he also goes strong on table tennis, dominoes and the bass horn. Ah yes. Forest Jake Weber may attend college if he cares to. The only question worrying the colleges is—which one? tt tt # THE basketball boys at Fishers, a small high school in Hamilton County, started off the season by winning four games. The school decided that if they were going to play so brilliantly they should look the part. So the boys were outfitted in resplendent new uniforms. Fishers lost the next game, and the next, and the next—until seven straight defeats went tumbling into the record book. In desperation, Coach J. B. Stephens dug out the old uniforms and put them back on the backs of his players. The boys promptly clicked off two victories. At latest reports, the new uniforms hadn’t been burned, but they positively were doomed to the school’s relic chest while the resurrected suits were prancing proudly up and down the gym once again. tt tt u North Vernon, Ind. Dear Paul: Just a word to let you know that your old friend', “Shrimp” Englehardt, has another real ball team down here this year, as the season record will attest. We are leading the Southeastern Indiana Conference standing with eight victories and one loss. Not bad, eh? The Panthers play the sectionals and probably the regional at Greensburg. Watch their smoke! BILL (Monk) HANNA. tt tt tt A glance at the records upholds Mr. Hanna’s claims. North Vernon trounced Jeffersonville, 33 to 21, and also won decisively over New Albany. Greensburg and Columbus. The Panthers whipped Madison, 28 to 17. early in the season, but the latter club bounded back to hand them their lone setback, 26 to 25. tt tt B Did you notice what Bob Conner did against Shortridge? . . . Cathedral totaled five free throws, and Bob sank all of them. ... Tis said that Maurice Kennedy, now mentor at Noblesville, helped Paul Beck coach the Oblong dll.) quintet through to the Wabash Valley championship . . . Oblong whipped Wiley of Terre Haute in the final game . . , and Mr. Kennedy was cut loose from a head coaching job at Wiley a few years ago for announced economy reasons . . . ah, sweet vengeance . . . Ivan Fuqua, not long ago a track headliner at Indiana University, has been named freshman basketball coach at Connecticut State College . . . proving that a Hoosier athlete doesn’t even have to be a basketball player to get a job in the East . . , it’s the Hoosier in him that counts! WOLGAST, OVERWEIGHT, ORDERED OUT OF RING By United Press PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 29—Midget Wolgast, who retired undefeated after five years as world flyweight champion, was ordered out of the ring last night in the seventh round of a scheduled 10-rcund main event bout with Ritchie Fontaine, 20-year-old Missoula (Mont.) fighter. Wolgast, appearing fat and out of condition, refused to mix and Fontaine forced the bout for six rounds before Referee Tom Louthit declared the fight no contest. He warned Wolgast at the opening of the seventh, whereupon Wolgasi staged a brief flurry. When the flurry ended and he again- refused

THAT FIRST PUNCH!

The first blow counts the most on the Golden Gloves firing line , so this lad is ready to come out of his corney _• swinging. He is Sheet Dickerson who goes into action daily at the Colonial gym for a crack at the 12€-pound Novice class title. Tourney Manager Frqd Deßorde is accelerating the tempo for Friday’s elimination at the Armory, and the fighters will shake hands before they enter the ring. Meaning that those three rounds of two minutes each are to be crammed with action. Dickerson is a hard working lad, set to keep swinging in high gear from gong to gong. Tracy Cox has had his eye on him at the Colonial training quarters, and the understudy has added a repertoire of ring strategy to his determination and, aggressiveness.

De Pauw, Butler Frosh Open New Athletic Pact Two Yearling Net Tilts to Mark Renewal of Relations; Prep Stars on Local Team. With the De Pauw University freshman team carded for two contests to complete the four-game schedule of the Butler rhinies, Coach Frank (Pop) Hedden is preparing the local yearlings for their first contest Friday night at Terre Haute against the Indiana State frosh.

The De Pauw cagers are to appear on the local floor in a preliminary to the Butler-Kentucky game Feb. 11 for the first athletic contest between the schools since relations were severed several years ago. The second game of the series will be staged at Greencastle later in the year. The other intercollegiate game is with the Wabash yearlings at Crawfordsville, Feb. 18. Coach Hedden has an array of former high school stars on the roster this year. One of the standouts is Jack Perry, former Shortridge luminary, who is starring at center. Two proteges of Frank White, captain of the Butler 192829 squad and coach of Male High School of Louisville, are on the first five. They are Jaggers and Roberts. Bill O’Connor of Cathedral, Pettroff and Muggs of the Battle Ground team which upset Lafayette in the tournament of 1934, Hiatt of Ben Davis, Wilson of Tech and Constantino of Manual are performing with the Bullpups. Smith, former Rosenbloom Stifles ‘Second Joe Louis’ Ex-Champ Trounces Touted Negro Rival. By United Prexx LOS ANGELES, Jan. 29.—Veteran Maxie Rosenbloom, former light heavyweight champion, demonstrated last night that Charley Coates of Akron, 0., was no “second Joe Louis” when he slapped out a 10-round decision over the Negro battler at Olympic Auditorium. Coates’ vaunted punching ability proved of little value to him as he failed to connect with a single solid blow. Rosenbloom used a long, flicking left to keep the Negro off balance while he slapped him with his right. On the few occasions Coates was able to get under Maxie’s guard, the sly Hebrew immediately clinched and awaited the referee to break them. The former champion took every round except the third, which went to Coats after he jolted Rosenbloom with a glancing left hook. Rosenbloom weighed 185 and Coates 175. HARDIN, KASNAK SHINE IN CONTINENTAL DRILL Hardin and Kasnak were outstanding in a practice scrimmage held yesterday at Washington High School between the varsity and reserve teams, in which the varsity triumphed.
