By Eddie Ash JOHN HENRY LEWIS SPEAKS UP a m • HE SEEKS CHANCE WITH BOMBER

JOHN' HENRY LEWIS, the Negro light-heavyweight ring title holder, wants a place in the heavyweight picture and thinks he has earned a chance with Joe Louis, the No. 1 challenger for Jim Braddock’s championship. Since he won the light-heavy belt, Lewis has fought eight times in non-title bouts and has scored five knockouts. John is 21 and his next birthday is on May 1. Many famous heavyweights of the past came out of the light-heavy division and Lewis decided to make a break for it. There isn’t a whole lot of money in his weight class and he craves some of that sugar Brown Bomber Joe is getting. Lewis hails from Phoenix. Ariz.. and he defeated Bob Olin for the title last fall. He believes himself far more capable than such heavies as Charlie RetzlafT, King Levinsky, Primo Camera and others who have tumbled before Louis. He fought Braddock twice before Jim uncrowned Max Baer and the decisions were split. John Henry says. “After all, there is no reason why Louis should have all the easy money in boxing. I would gladly agree to enter any heavyweight elimination tournament designed to develop an opponent for either Joe or Braddock.’’ Lewis’ argument is fair. It isn't always size that counts, but at present managers and promoters are combing the sticks for big fellows. Jack The Giant Killer Dillon of Indianapolis, when he was light-heavy king, was far better than many of the heavyweights of his day. The towering maulers were easy for Jack and his challenge to Jess Willard, the then world champ, went unanswered. There would have been plenty of coin riding on Dillon had Willard consented to the bout. The Hoosier used to pull a left hook from the floor to dump the giants.

They grow big and tough down in Oklahoma, the Sooner state. The Oklahoma Aggies have lost only one dual wrestling meet since 1921. a a a Mickey cochrane, boss of the champion Tigers, is counting on a home run from A1 Simmons, obtained from the White Sox this winter, in the first game of the season. A1 blasted four-base blows in his initial appearances with Milwaukee, Philadelphia Athletics and Chicago. aa ' a INTERNATIONAL Dog Derby time is just around the bend. It is to be held near Quebec, Feb, 20, 21, 22. Distance is 120 miles covered in three daily laps of 40 miles. Top prize Is SIOOO and plenty of dog meat. Emile St. Godard and Leonard Seppala are the chief mushers of the North country. a a a AN enthusiastic alumnus of an Eastern college attended an independent basketball game and saw two brilliant guards in action. He notified the coach at his old school to “come down and look at some swell talent for future teams at the old Alma Mater.’’ The coach made the scouting trip and rubbed his eyes. The two stars were his own regular guards out picking up a little pocket money. 000 Old Jack Johnson, Negro, former heavyweight champ, is acting as instructor for “white hopes” in New York. Jack was responsible for the first white hope era and he’s in again on the other side of the fence. a a a ALEX MCOLL, Washington’s "veteran rookie” pitcher, has been listed as 39 for the last three years. He has been up and down so often he has cut out birthdays and the statisticians just mark down 39 and let it go at that. 000 Only once last season did a National Leaguer sock three home runs in one game. One guess. It was Babe Ruth doing his swan song on May 25, Boston Nationals vs. Pirates, one off Red Lucas and two off Guy Bush. 000 A BASKETBALL bug in New York tagged two sports writers with one shot. It happened during the N. Y. U.-St. John’s game last week. Tire crack pot heaved a lemon at the referee and his control was poor- The lemon parted the hair of one scribe and then knocked off the hat of another. 000 A1 Threadgill, Negro high jumper, stands 5 feet 9 inches and jumps 6 feet inches. He doesn't use spikes to help on the take-off. That entitles him to be matched with a kangaroo. AGGIES IN SECOND PLACE By United Press STILLWATER. Okla., Feb. 11.— Oklahoma A. & M. College basketball squad today held a firm grip on second place in the Missouri Valley Conference after whipping the Washington University Bears, 40-27.

Bulldogs Fold in Last Half Butler Netmen Get Away in Front, but Wildcats Finish Strong. Tim*s Special EVANSTON, 111., Feb. 11.—Northwestern University tuned up for an impending Big Ten strenuous schedule after its two-week layoff for examinations by trouncing Butler University here last night, 53 to 38. An offense, plainly rusty from the idleness, did not function in the early stages of the game, and the Bulldogs were away to a 21-to-19 lead at intermission. In the second half, Tug Blume and McMichaels found the range to put the Wildcats in the lead. Butler’s attack folded when Captain Toy Jones left the game on four personal fouls. McMichaels scored 15 points, and Blume converted eight charity tosses in building his 14point total. Roscoe Batts registered 12 points for the Indianapolis collegians. Thirty-seven personal fouls were called. Butler will play on its home floor at Indianapolis tonight against the University of Kentucky. Summary last night: Northwestern (53). Butler (38).

16 Titles at Stake on Last Golden Gloves Bill Approximately 40 Bouts to Be Staged at Times-Legion Boxing Show Friday Night. BY HARRISON MILLER Marking time with a rhythmic tattoo of gloves on punching bags and sparring partners’ chins, 57 champions and near-champions are hammering away the last days of training for the final Times-Legion Golden Gloves carnival at the Armory Friday night.

Sixteen crowns are at stake in the fistic survival of the fittest with a program calling for approximately 40 ring battles. Anew crop of glove tossers step into the limelight this year, with only five 1935 kings remaining in the running. Two of the returning champions were winners in the Novice Class

Coach Bill Slyker Trumps De Pauw, Gathers Up Aces for ‘Revenge Party’ With Franklin Cagers

\ Mr 'y\ • n ■■ euirau/ —tan- - niMig Bui. im'm 1 ClUil

emebeon -Henke - forced BY PAUL BOXELL Times Staff Writer Evansville, ind., Feb. li.— The Flying Aces of Evansville College are flying high, wide and happy today. The Aces have deuced old De Pauw for the first time in history. Ever since Evansville and De Pauw opened basketball relations, each school has been striving to sweep both games in one season. But it was a case of give-and-take year in and year out until last Saturday when the locals refused to give and broke the grizzled old Jonah by the narrowest margin—one point. Bob Polk, a substitute guard, fired in a field goal as the timekeeper was reaching for his trusty .45, and the Aces were trumps in a 19-18 decision. Earlier in the campaign the Evansville goalers thumped the Tigers at Greencastle, 32 to 26. The boys and girls around the campus say this history-mak-ing double decision completely

last year, and have stepped into the current Open Class fights, aspiring to a trip to the Tournament of Champions in Chicago starting Feb. 24. They are Tommie LeFever, Oliver-WPA flyweight, and Norval Binninger, Oliver-WPA lightweight. Hutton to Face Denson Delbert Hutton, Anderson middleweight, is the sole defending champion. He is to appear in the titular battle against Johnny Denson, Oliver-WPA battler who has stepped up a division after winning the Open welter title in 1935. Bud Cottey, also from the Oliver stable, won the bantam crown last year, but additional pounds placed him in the featherweight bracket, through which he pounded his way to the 1936 finals. One of the best slam-bang bouts Friday night is expected in the Open heavyweight battle for the title vacated by Jack Coffelt. Elza Thompson, mammoth Washington A. C. Negro who deposed Coffelt and Russ Bennett, Richmond Negro, last week, will attempt to complete his two-week career as a fighter against the stiff-punching Marshall Kealing who won the title in 1933. Brown Going Strong Blasting the most destructive path to the titular round was Harry Brown, welterweight winner at Vincennes in 1934. Two knockouts and a technical kayo propelled Brown to the final stage. He is training under the wing of Roy Wallace, former local battler. Cottey's relinquished bantamweight crown will rest with the winner of the Judy Davies-Omer Sensei scrap. In the other Open division, four fighters still are contenders. Harry Christie aqd Carleton Jones of the Miller A. C. of Richmond: George Hoyt, representing the Puritan Bed Springs, and Frank lannuzzi from Fort Harrison, will vie for the light heavyweight toga. Winners of the other eight crowns will emerge from the 39 remaining Novice Class scrappers who have not had sufficient ring experience to enter the Open group. Although not eligible for the Chicago excursion, they will share in the list of prizes and will be prepared for the seasoned class next year.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1936

Bill - CoqcH salves over the 18-0 scar inflicted by De Pauw on the football battlefield last fall. They’re proud of their team for other reasons, too. For one thing, the Aces have won ten games while losing five, which is a pretty plump batting average in the Hoosier league. In conference tussles, their victim list, in addition to De Pauw double-checked, includes Oakland City, Hanover, Wabash, Indiana State and Valparaiso. On the negative side of the ledger are bow-downs to Franklin and Hanover. 0 0 0 ANOTHER point of pride—the varsity is of pure native extraction. In building his sixth cage machine for the local college, Coach Bill Slyker has gone no farther than Evansville’s high school product for members of his starting five. Colby Pollard, 6-foot-4 center, and Chris Maglaris, sophomore guard, served their apprenticeship under Coach Mark Wakefield at Central High.

Batter Up! By United Press SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Feb. 11.—Fourteen members of the Cincinnati Reds baseball squad have started working out here under the direction of Manager Chuck Dressen and Coaches George Kelly and Tom Sheehan. The first exhibition game is scheduled for Feb. 22. The Reds are the first major league team ever to train here.

Galan and French on Unsigned List Otherwise Champion Cubs Are Ready to Go. By United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 11.—Augie Galan, young outfielder, and Larry French, southpaw pitcher, remained the only two holdouts among the champion Chicago Cubs today after two other recalcitrants. Bill Lee, pitcher, and Billy Jurgess, shortstop, forwarded their signed contracts for 1936. Club officials said tney expected Galan’s contract tomorrow, however. They made no announcement regarding French’s, status. Three Chicago White Sox players signed their 1936 contracts yesterday. They were Vernon Kennedy, who pitched a no-hit game against Cleveland last year; John Salveson, pitcher, and Frank Grube, secondstring catcher. POINTS OUT ERRORS IN CONTINENTAL PRACTICE Cathedral and Bainbridge are slated to furnish basketball opposition for the Washington Continentals Friday and Saturday nights. In their last six starts, the Continentals have been the victims of a fourth quarter jinx with Greenfield, Shortridge, Ben Davis, Manual, Noblesville and Peru taking them in turn. Yesterday at the West Side gym, Coach Rowland Jones sent his proteges through defensive drills, stopping practice frequently to point out errors made in last week’s games. GARY AMATEUR DIES AFTER WINNING BOUT By United Press GARY, Ind., Feb. 11.—J. Robert Doty, Lake County coroner, today conducted an inquest into the death of John Korus, 22. amateur boxer, who died of a fractured skull sifter a bout Feb. 3. Stephen Demko, 21, Korus’ opponent, charged with manslaughter, is at liberty pending the verdict of the coroner's jury. Korus scored a technical knockout over Demko, but collapsed later and died at Mercy Hospital.

Two of the mainstays were members of Harry King’s Bosse quintet which knocked out Tech of Indianapolis in the 1932 state tournament. (There, Mr. Editor, how’s that for getting the old home town angle into your story?) They are Loren Bailey, forward, and Bruce Lomax, guard. Otto Theurback, a senior guard, graduated from Central High, but didn’t play basketball there. Coach Slyker decided Otto had the stuff, training or no training, and developed him into a stout defensive man. Shock troopers include Polk, the guard from Tell City who Polked the De Pauwers out of an even season; Jack Lomax, forward of local vintage: Mel Seeger, Fort Wayne guard, and—speaking of doubles—the Connersville Seim twins, Howard and Harold, guard and center duplexity. Emerson Henke, reserve forward from Sfcendal, is lost to the team for the rest of the season, but is

Irish Trounce Kentucky; Crimsons Rally to Win

Notre Dame Smothers Blue Grass Foe: Moir Gets 17 Points. Times Special NOTRE DAME, Ind., Feb. 11. ' The University of Kentucky, one of the truly finer teams of 1935 and champion of the Southeastern Conference, was humbled, 41 to 20, by Notre Dame here last night before 5500 fans who braved the subzero weather for a glimpse of the hitherto powerful Wildcats in action. Kentucky was never in the game, and not until the closing minutes did the invaders show any ability to score. The Irish rolled into an early 14-to-2 lead by connecting on six of their first nine attempts from the field. Johnny Moir and Paul Nowak, Notre Dame’s sophomore aces, again provided the momentum that carried the Keoganmen to their ninth straight victory. Moir counted 17 points and Nowak added 11. The Ramblers increased the margin to 29-to-7 at intermission and romped on to a 38-to-7 margin, before the Kentuckians staged a belated rally, Notre Dame this Friday is to oppose New York in Gotham, one of the two -teams to defeat Kentucky before last night’s affray.

expected to become the ace of the club’s offensive next year. Old Man Pneumonia jumped on Emerson in midseason and gave him a pretty hard ride for awhile, but the young netter is back in school now. In addition to state conference games, the Slykermen have met six non-conference adversaries, losing two verdicts to the Big Ten —lndiana and Ohio State—another to Western State, and whipping Vanderbilt, Centenary and Wittenberg. OAKLAND CITY, Franklin, Indiana State and Wabash remain on the ’36 schedule. The card calls for a trip to Oakland City tomorrow night and a home tilt with Franklin Saturday night.

Slicker Bill Slyker will have five hot Aces up his sleeve when the Baptists arrive for the second party.

I. U. Varsity Overpowers Franklin in Last Half for 39-29 Edge. Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Feb. 11.—Indiana University concluded its nonconference schedule for the season last night with a 39-to-29 victory over Franklin College, but the varsity had to take over the burden entrusted to the reserves after the Baptists pulled away in the first half, 15 to 13. Coach Everett Dean inserted his regulars with the exception of Fred Fechtman, rangy center, who is out of action with an injured ankle. Wendell Walker, who tallied 11 points, paced the winning drive. Vernon Huffman scored eight points for the Hoosiers during the second half. The regulars utilized a clever passing attack ■to take the ball under the basket for ea&y shots.

Speedy Purdue Five Faces Northwestern After Tying Indiana for Big Ten Lead Boilermakers Rap Gophers, 39-24, for Seventh Straight League Victory; Deanmen Also Slated to Tackle Threatening Loop Rival at Evanston. By United Prcst CHICAGO. Feb. 11.—Northwestern University stood out today as the chief menace to the Hoosier “twin act” in the Big Ten basketball conference. As Purdue University moved into a full-sized tie with Indiana last night by drubbing the inconsistent Minnesota team, 39 to 24. Northwestern'lurked in third place as the team that can disrupt the drive of one or both Hoosiers teams. The Wildcats, idle for two weeks, returned to their stride last night, trouncing Butler University, 53 to 38. Butler, in high gear on the home floor earlier in the season, had defeated the Boiler-

makers, 41 to 39. Northwestern will resume conference activities Saturday night, playing at Purdue. The Wildcats’ schedule after that includes home games with both Purdue and Indiana. Kessler and Young Again Purdue pulled abreast of Indiana with its seventh undefeated contest in the conference, while the Crimson drubbed Franklin, a non-confer-ence rival, 39 to 29. The Boilermakers, paced again by Bob Kessler and Jewel Young, called on a rally in the waning minutes to pull a seesaw tussle out of the fire. After the score had been deadlocked seven times, with the Gophers clinging tenaciously on their heels, Young started a 14-point drive in the last five minutes. Kessler drew nearer the Individual scoring pace-setter, Bill Haarlow of Chicago, by tallying 17 points to approach within nine points of the star of the Midway, who has a season total of 98. Minnesota trailed by a single point, 13 to 12, at intermission, and aided by the onehanded artist, George Roscoe, remained close until Purdue’s closing drive. Buckeyes Make Weak Stand Ohio dropped a 34-to-24 decision to Wisconsin on the Badger floor after holding an 18-to-7 lead at half time. The Buckeyes were held to a lone field goal in the second canto. Indiana is expected to keep its record clean at Columbus Saturday. Wisconsin is to play at Illinois Saturday against the team that routed lowa last night, 38 to 14. The Hawkeye squad, which previously had held Purdue to a onepoint victory, tallied only four points in the first half, and only four field goals during the entire game. In other games this Saturday Chicago will be at lowa, and Michigan is slated for a non-conference tilt with Michigan State. Minnesota will be idle.

Lash said today the injury showed signs of developing when he competed in the Millrose games at New York recently. He is the Big Ten two-mile champion and an outstanding candidate for the 1936 Olympics. Lash was scheduled to compete in the Olympic Club invitational at San Francisco Feb. 12 and the National A. A.

Defies ‘Jinx’ Superstitious Fans Say Jockey Was ‘Warned’ Before Death.

By United Press NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 11.—Followers of the track said young Homer Spears defied every “sign” before he was fatally injured in a tangle of horses and riders at a Fairgrounds course here. Three other riders were hurt in the accident late yesterday, among them Francis Polk, was in critical condition today. Spears, 18, and a likely apprentice jockey, apparently tried to steer Enola through a knot of horses at the turn into the home stretch. Witnesses said his mount struck the heels of Pish Tush. Enola went down, insomnia, ridden by Chuck Parke, crashed into the sprawled horse and immediately Portam and Smooth went floundering. One Horse Destroyed Insomnia, valued at $2500, broke a leg and was shot. Polk, aboard Smooth, was carried away with Spears. He was internally injured. Joe Donoho, on Portam, and Parke escaped with minor hurts. Spears, from Cleveland, died in a hospital. His foster father and his mother, Mr. and Mrs. Barney Weatz. saw the crack-up. It occurred in the fifth race. Spears dropped and broke a framed photograph of himself before the race, his mother said. He laughed aside her warning it meant a foreboding of death. In the third race, his mother scarcely breathed until Spears finished safely on Die Hard. At Arlington Downs. Texas, several weeks ago Spears was in an accident and his horse was killed under him. FIGHT DECISION BOOED By United Press LEICESTER. England, Feb. 11.— Fans booed the decision given Ben Foord of South America over Tommy Loughran, Philadelphia veteran, in a 12-round bout here last night. Foord led the attack most of the v/ay, but fans believed Loughran’s infighting and left jabs earned him the decision.

Odd Device "Sets" Wave USED AT HOME LASTS THREE MONTHS COSTS 75c An ordinary wave can now be made to stay a long time! It isn’t any trouble at all; in fact, saves time, worry, and expense. Here is the way that it works: After a wave, when you arrange your hair, use your Danderine spray before brushing or combing. Then—when every lock is just as you want it, another light spray will “set” it. This fine mist of Danderine, too light to be felt or seen, is the last touch and the last thought you need give your hair the rest of the day! It staya gloriously in place, and it stays in wave. Day after day, you can do this. If you have any dandruff, this ingenious spray carries medication to every* pore in the scalp—where any dandruff begins. Tell your druggist to show you the beautiful new Danderine Spray. The price is seventy-five cents, and it should save you seven dollars in waves.
