By Eddie Ash NEW YORK U. FIVE IS DEFLATED 9m m / MERRIWELL SHOT SAVES PURDUE

JLSI when New York U. was getting ready to defy the world in basketball the schedule changed and took the boys off the home floor and to a downfall. In fact, two downfalls. The Violets won 12 in a row this season and their last eight in 1935, but that 20-game victory march finally made the lads jittery. They had a close call the middle of last week and on Friday in Washington the Georgetown tossers blazed away and upset the big city slickers, 36-34. Moving along for another road tilt in Philadelphia the Violets opposed the Tempie Owls Saturday and were edged out again, 34-31. The two setbacks washed away some of the ballyhoo leading up to the Notre Dame-N. Y. U. conflict in Madison Square Garden Feb. 14, but the game’s a sell-out anyway, assuring rich gate receipts. It was supposed to be a “game of the century,” but now it’s just a game. In the meantime Indiana and Purdue continue to pace the Big Ten with undefeated Conference records. The Boilermakers had a big scare Saturday and were saved only by a prayer shot from far out on the floor by Paul Malaska, a reserve guard. The Merriwell toss was uncorked in the final 15 seconds, Purdue winning, 39-38. Kessler tallied 12 points for the winners and Young 11. They are doing a giand job of sticking together in piling up points. Purdue invades the North country tonight to meet the Gophers in the Minnesota Igloo. The Boilermakers have won six straight.

INDIANA swamped the tailend Maroons, 42-24, without trouble Saturday to make it seven in a row. Gunning rolled up 15 markers for the Crimson and Huffman 12. Bill Haarlow, leading Big Ten scorer, registered 16 points for the cellar dwellers. On any other team he'd be just as sweet, or perhaps sweeter than sweet. a a it If you don't understand some of the winter Olympic games terms, ask a Dartmouth man. They know all there is to know about snow games, snow queens and carnivals. There Is nothing a Dartmouth man likes better than to get out on the side of a snow clad mountain and run a race with a rabbit. nun THAT strange word “slalom” now appearing in press dispatches from the Olympic games designates a ski race against time over a zigzag downhill course between and around uprights, or flags. Dartmouth students are experts at it and usually slay opponents in any kind of a slalom. tt tt tt Babe RUTH has signed up as commandant of the two amateur baseball teams that will be taken to Berlin tc demonstrate baseball at the summer Olympic games. Baseball is not included on the official Olympic program, but a place has been found for it as an “extra.” Not enough countries play the game to make competition interesting for Americans. Ruth is expected to slam out a few long drives for the edification of foreigners. a a tt Ruth may land a big league managerial berth after all. It is said if certain Eastern men succeed in buying the Brooklyn Dodgers the former King of Swat will be named pilot. However, the club is burdened with debt, which may cause prospective buyers to retreat. Anyway, there may he something to the Ruth rumor. Around New York is the spot for him. tt tt tt PERHAPS Indianapolis has been dead wrong about basketball being tops over all as the king of indoor sports. Last Friday few requests for basketball tickets were received at this desk. But too many requests were received for TimesLegion Golden Gloves tickets. Cage interest Is sure to pick up again, though, when state tourney time arrives. It’s the last go-around when one defeat is fatal. tt tt tt The Indianapolis Indians are going to spring train in another Eatmoreville. The claim to fame of Wauchula, Fla., is its vegetable market. All right boys. Eat More Peppers. We notice, though, that the Tribe bosses want their players guaranteed plenty of Western beef. The Indians are fortunate in having a manager, Red Killefer, whose hobby is more and better nourishment.

Outlook for Sectional Net Play Muddled City Fives Face Next Tilts With Power Still Evenly Balanced. FRIDAY Washington at Cathedral. Bloomington at Shortridge. Greenfield at Manual. Broad Ripple at Elwood. Dayton at Crispus Attacks. SATURDAY Shelbyville at Tech. Bainbridge at Washington. Broad Ripple vs. Carmei at Short- | ridge gym. Manual at Southport. Crispus Attacks at Nashville. BY PAUL BOXELL It’s more in a muddle than ever—meaning the outlook for the local sectional high school basketball tournament. Now that Ben Davis’ Giants have proven themselves beatable and Tech and Shortridge have shown themselves capable of being real trouble-makers, city quintets swing into preparations for this week’s games wondering which will be next to take a turn for better or for worse. Washington, for one, is in the slough of a definite turn for the worse. After getting off to a snappy start this season, the Continentals skidded, and go into this Friday’s feature intra-city tussle with Cathedral under a burden of eight straight setbacks. Cathedral’s Irish will be out to close their regular season in triumph on their home floor. Washington dropped a 4C-30 decision at Peru Saturday night. Cathedral bowed at Martinsville, 42-25. Greenfield Guns for No. 3 In other tilts this Friday. Bloomington’s “fair-to-middlin’ ” Panthers invade the Shortridge goal shop, and Greenfield goes a-gunning for Indianapolis victim No. 3 at Manual. Broad Ripple advances on Elw'ood. Crispus Attucks entertains Dayton. Bloomington should prove a good test as to whether the Blue Devils were just riding on a hot streak in that decisive victory at Lebanon last week, or actually were sounding the warning signal for a fast running start into sectional competition. Greenfield already holds verdicts over Shortridge and Washington. Ripple, like Washington, is enmeshed in a losing net w'hich grew tighter with a 42-29 defeat at the hands of Brownsburg on Saturday night. Crispus Attucks whipped Louisville last week. Jack Reedy “Sizzles.” Tech locked good in a 36-34 victory over Marion Saturday night. The local'boys, in flashy new green “trimmin’s” got hot in the last half and couldn’t be cooled off. Jack Reedy, who totaled six field goals, sank four of them right in a rdw. and from such varied angles that he had to take a good laugh himself. The Techmen are to entertain Shelbyville in next Saturday night's local feature. Manual’s city champions play at Southport, Washington is host to Bainbridge, Ripple takes on Carmel at the Shortridge gym and Crispus Attucks travels to Nashville, Ind. an tt A LETTER received in this, department midways of last week contained matter which was of a highly disputable nature when it arrived. But something happened Friday night which turned that matter into a more or less concrete statement of fact and convinced this writer that he must shuffle his Marion County ratings. That “something” was Warren Central’s stunning upset over Ben Davis. The letter, written previous to the game by Leslie Burtt, sports editor of the Warren Owl, went like this; “Dear Mr. Boxell—l read your article in the Feb. 3 issue of The Times and was very much put out about it. I believe you said something about Decatur Central being second only to Ben Davis in power on the county basketball floor. Well, it so happens that Warren Central thumped this same Decatur team by a rather large score of 34 to 21. We also happen to l.ave beaten Beech Grove, and provtd in the county tourney that the 28-15 warping handed us by Southport early in the season was a fluke. Although they beat us by four points in the county, any student of Warren Central would give you even odds that they couldn't defeat us again. (Ed. Note; Refuse to bet. but will j refer the matter to the Southport ! bookies). “We have a record that is second only to Ben Davis in the county, and I believe it also has the records of the city teams shoved off the map. We have won 11 and lost four, and we tackle Ben Davis Friday.” tt tt tt Just to make Leslie look extra good, the Warren Central boys stepped right out and hung a 28-26 shiner on the touted Ben Davisans. And mighty Decatur Central bowed low to Manual. Ah, fickle basketball . . .

CHUCK MARKEY is snapped here as he officially christens the new Pennsylvania Alleys, not with a bottle, but a full-sized whistling, banging bowling ball. The Penn plant is the latest recreation center to be opened by the Beam Brothers who operate a string of tenpin drives in the city. Markey. shown (lower) as he relaxes for his next toss, earned the “opening-up” honor when he smacked out a 792 in the Washington League last week. The total was the largest posted in the city this season. Chuck got acquainted with the tumbling maples from the pit side as a pin boy at the St. Philip's drives a few years ago. After absorbing a complete bowling education, young Markey transferred his activities to the other end of the alley and soon was one of the city's outstanding keglers. He rolled in two leagues last year and tossed out plenty of fancy series, but critics claimed he could not keep up the pace if he were forced from his “home” alleys. Chuck answered by extending his pastiming to the Uptown Recreation, Printcraft and Washington leagues this season, where he climaxed a brilliant campaign with his sensational 792, which is not far short of the 810 all-time city record held by the veteran Jess Pritchett Sr.

Kautskys Triumph , Await Tilt Withs Circus Team 9 Pro League Leaders to Oppose Renaissance Here; Overcome ‘Entanglements’ of Firestones. BY HARRISON MILLER The hardwood circus is coming back to town two weeks from tonight with an added side show. Those “clowns of the court,” the New York Renaissance Negroes—who, incidentally, add plenty of basketball to their antics—are to play the local Kautskys at the Butler Fieldhouse, Feb. 24. Big Dave DeJernett, former Washington (Ind.) High School and Indiana Central stalwart, is now cavorting with the Renaissance.

The Kautskys were up in arms at the Armory yesterday afternoon. In fact, they were wrapped up in so many arms it appeared that a giant

octopus was trying to pull them out of first place in the Midwest League. But the Rubbermen of Akron didn’t stretch things far enough, and the locals won the forty-minute battle. 31 to 24. Most local fans chose the firesides in ’preference to the Firestones,

n

and Johnny Wooden was ice-bound in South Bend, but big Cy Prof Tit and George Chestnut turned on the heat for the league-pacing Kautskys. " With Slim Shoun. 6-foot-11-inch daddy longlegs of them all, standing head and shoulders above the crowd, the Akrons threw up an entanglement of arms and legs that had the locals shooting toward the rafters until Proffitt started penetarting the “grapevine.” The erstwhile Butler center found the range on a pivot shot to open hostilities and a minute later converted after being hacked on a duplicate shot. Locals Hot at Foul Line Chestnut lobbed one over the defense to give the Kaustkys a five point lead. The lanky Shoun bent over to lay a charity attempt in the hoop for the invaders, and “Soup” Cable and Billy Reeves connected from the field to help the Firestones draw within two points at the quarter. With Frankie Baird, usual high scoring forward, unable to arch his shots over the uprights of the defense, Perigo, Proffitt and Chestnut drove through and converted on most of the fouls ‘hat hampered their progress to establish an 18 to 13 lead at intermission. The locals converted 15 times from the free throw line. Proffitt tallied 11 points for high honors. Chestnut scored nine as did Cable of the visitors. With a half-game advantage in the pro loop standing, Kautskys will not be in league ac-

tion until after the Renaissance tilt. Summary: Kautskys <3l). Firestones (24).

Hollyrood Appears Winter Book Favorite for Derby Headley Colt Looks Promising for Kentucky Classic May 2, as Entries Close Today. By United Press NEW YORK, Feb. 10— Hollyrood is the year’s first red hot tip for the Kentucky Derby, entries for which close today. The race will be run at Churchill Downs May 2. All it takes to enter a horse in the Kentucky Derby is $25, and more than a hundred colts, fillies and geldings will be nominated for America’s blue ribbon turf event. It costs another S4OO to start a horse in the derby and very seldom do more than 15 get to the post for the mile and a quarter race.

Many horsemen think the Derby comes too early this year and have shied away from it. The most notable absentee will be C. V. Whitney's Red Rain, which won the hopeful at Saratoga and ran a dead heat with Coldstream in the Saratoga Special. Red Rain is rated the best of the 2-vear-old crop by Jack Campbell, the New York Jockey Club's handicapper giving the Whitney entry a two-pound edge over Tintagel and Coldstream on his juvenile record. Tom Kearney, St. Louis bookmaker, has announced that he intends to make Hollyrood his winter book favorite, probably at 8-1. He has tentatively made Grand Slam, Tintagel, Brevity and Coldstream second choices, all at 10-1. Seldom does a winter book favorite win the Derby. Frequently he doesn’t even get to the post. Almost Certain to Be There Hollyrood is a good sound horse from the stable of Hal Price Headley of Kentucky, and seems to stand a good chance to crack the jinx against winter book favorites. He is almost certain to get to the post Derby Day. Asa juvenile, Hollyrood proved he had speed and showed qualities which indicate he can go a distance. His pedigree bears out the fact that he should be a stayer. His mother was Mandy Hamilton, whose blood lines trace back to Swynford and John O'Gaunt, making'Hollyrood a relation to Twenty Grand and Cavalcade, former Derby winners. Stamina and speed are sprinkled all through Hollyrood's pedigree. Grand Slam, owned by the Bomar Stable, is highly regarded and is certain to get plenty of play in the future book. He won the Arlington Futurity and Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes, the latter race having produced many Derby winners. Tintagel Coming Fast Tintagel, leading money winner among the juveniles with $72,270, and Brevity, two other top-notch 2-year-olds last season, are campaigning on the winter tracks, and either might develop into a Derby favorite. Joseph E. Widener, owner of Brevity, expects his candidate to win the Florida Derby | March 2 and develop into the year’s outstanding 3-year-old. Widener is particularly keen to win the | Derby, a race he’s never won. The closest he ever came to winning was in 1927. when Osmond ran second to Whiskery. A winter track horse | hasn’t won the Derby since Black Gold galloped In. in 1924. Col. E. R. Bradley, who has four Derbies to his credit, with Behave Yourself, Bubbling Over, Burgoo King and Broker's Tip, will rely on Bien Joli this year. Little is known about Bien Joli, except that word comes from Tom Kearney in St. Louis that he has received many queries as to the price on Col. ! Bradley's horse. PROS DOV/N ALL-STARS ! Detroit Gridmen Defeat Pop Warner’s Football Team, 30-6. HONOLULU, T. H„ Feb. 10.— The champion Detroit Lions of the National Professional Football League held a one-sided 30-to-6 victory over Glenn S. (Pop) Warner’s AllStars today. Approximately 9000 fans saw the game yesterday. The AllStars scored their single touchdown °A an intercepted pass.i

Minnesota, meanwhile, was showing a complete reversal of form for the second time during the campaign. The Gophers lost four straight, then rang up three consecutive victories, beating Northwestern and Michigan at home and Ohio State at Columbus. Indiana ended the winning streak a week ago, and Ohio State followed w’ith a 44-to-28 victory over the Gophers Saturday. Wildcats Back on Court Northwestern, third in the standings with three wins and two losses, will take advantage of the Butler game to get back in stride. The Wildcats haven’t played since Jan. 25, when they whipped Chicago. Butler's style of play should give Northwestern the experience it needs to tangle with Purdue. The Indianapolis outfit beat the Boilermakers, 41 to 39, Dec. 21. Although its play was ragged, Wisconsin proved it is ready to resume conference competition by beating Butler Saturday, 28 to 24. The Badgers have a tough one on their hands tonight in Ohio State. When the two teams met Jan. 4, the Buckeyes won, 44 to 23. Easy for Hoosiers Indiana, for the first time this season, won an easy Big Ten victory Saturday night and Chicago's last place team was responsible. The Hoosiers, who theretofore had scored only 19 more points than their opponents, completely outclassed the Maroons, 42 to 24. Indiana failed, however, to stop Bill Haarlow, the Chicago scoring ace. He collected 16 points to boost his total for the season to 98 and easily retain first place in the individual scoring race. Haarlow has averaged 14 points a game, two more than Bob Kessler of Purdue.
