3°. B . KESSLER, captain of the Purdue cage squad, tallied 13 points Saturday and shot into the lead of individual scorers in the Big Ten, hut his team lost to Northwestern and Indiana University slaughtered Wisconsin and climbed over the Boilermakers to gain undisputed leadership in the Western Conference chase. Over at Danville the undefeated Central Normal lads, champions of the Indiana Intercollegiate Conference, beat Indiana Central by one point, 30-29, for victory No. 15, and out at Butler fieldhouse the Saturday night sports goers witnessed a rousing fracas as Indiana State edged the Bulldogs, 37-35. At South Bend Notre Dame trounced Pittsburgh with Johnny Moir of the Irish occupying the spot. He scored 25 points to break Notre Dame's single-game all-time scoring record and boosted his total for the season to 219. another N. D record. In Npw York Charlie Hornbostel of Evansville and former Indiana U. ace runner, won the 1000-meter championship in the national A. A. U. meet. He won by two yards. Gunning was Indiana's best basket sharpshooter against Wisconsin, sinking seven from the field and three from the foul line. And Fechtman of Indianapolis contributed 13 markers. Bob Collier. Indianapolis, helped I. U. defeat Ohio State in track. He annexed the 60-yard sprint and the 440-yard dash, doing the latter event in 50.5 seconds. Hoosier sports interest will turn to Lafayette tonight. Purdue takes on Minnesota while Indiana takes a rest until Saturday. A Purdue victory tonight will find the Hoosier Twins together again sharing first place over all.

BUB C GILBERT HUNT, national junior J tennis champ, also is a billiards devotee. He is IS and like the average youngster is frank in his comments. For instance, when asked about his two hobbies he replied, “I like billiards as much as tennis, not only because of its angles, but because I don’t have to run when I play." BUB The Santa Anita Handicap saw another favorite go down. Discovery couldn’t make It ?nd finished seventh. The big horse was carrying too much money and was humped off early in one of the roughest events on record. Jockeys gambled their lives in that one, but fortunately no spills took place. B B U THIS column picked Time Supply. Top Row and Discovery. It was a hot finish and Top Row scooted in by a nose ahead of Time Supply, and Rosemont was third and Azacar fourth. The official chart had this to say: ‘‘Time Supply made his move the last half mile and showing an exceptionally fine effort might have won but for interference suffered. ’’ u b a The Santa Anita Handicap used to be known as the Coffroth Handicap and was run at Tijuana from 1917 up to 1030. Then it was changed to the Auga Caliente Handicap and was run at Agua Caliente until last year when it blossomed nut as the Santa Anita. BUB HOW good is your arm at throwing dollars? Walter Johnson monopolized the publicity when he '‘vindicated’’ George Washington by doing the stunt as cameras clicked at Fredricksburg, Va„ Satuday. The Big Train exhibited midseason form and heaved two across the Rappahannock River with room to spare. It started anew wave and all over the nation the stunt was copied. Johnson was ousted as manager at Cleveland last year and is now listed as a farmer, but. maybe the old boy still has some real pitching left in that ancient wing. BUB BASEBALL has gone society in the Stanley Hack family and Good Time Charlie Grimm, manager of the Chicago Cubs, a player of the old school, is rubbing his eyes. Hack, the Cubs’ third sacker, reported at training camp the other day and smashed all records for "retinues.” With him were Mrs. Hack, thejr infant son, Stanley Jr., Stanley Jr.’s nurse, Mrs. Hack’s maid and the family canine, plus four trunks.

Times-Legion Lads on Edge for Big Tourney Golden Gloves Aces Await Opening Beil of Chicago's Fistic Carnival.

BY PAUL BOXELL Times Staff Writer CHICAGO. Feb. 24.—Fights and fighters were the talk of the towi here today as a host of amateur title holders from 42 Widwestern citie awaited tonight’s opening bell in the Chicago Tribune's mammotl “Tourney of Champions.”

With 16 states represented, the entry list for this chapter of the Western Golden Gloves eliminations is so large that three long, solid nights of fighting will be needed to reduce the field to semi-finalists in all divisions. Scrapping here is to continue through tomorrow night and Wednesday night. Surviving semi-finalists in each of the eight weight classes are to* return here March 6 to determine the grand champions. \yho will then form a team to do battle with a squad of Eastern title winners. Indianapolis on Deck Indianapolis is represented here by a full team composed of outstanding performers in the popular Times-Legion Golden Gloves tourney held recently. All Indianapolis • boys were pronounced in top condition today, with the exception of Flyweight Jimmie Williams. Jimmie, who gained a flock of admirers as he pounded his way to the fly title in the Times-Legion event, is having considerable trouble with an injured thumb and probably will not be able to fight. The Hoosier Capital contingent, headed by Fred De Borde of the Bruce Robison Post, has established its headquarters at the Medinah Club. Mr. De Borde. manager of the Circle City meet, was optimistic today concerning the outlook for his boys, expressing confidence that the team is due to make the best showing ever turned in by an Indianapolis troupe. Team Arrives Early The boys have been here since early yesterday afternoon. They got in an interesting sight-seeing trip before “hitting the hay” for the old energy-restoring "snooze.” Customers certain to pack the Chicago Stadium tonight are to be treated to a veritable three-ring circus. Fighting will go on simultaneously in three roped arenas in of the Stadium. Offi-

Art Shires to Referee Here Former Two-Fisted Baseball Player to Officiate Armory Tug. Art (The Great) Shires is to referee one and probably two of the matches on the all-heavyweight wrestling card of the Hercules A. C. tomorrow night at the Armory Matchmaker Lloyd Carter announced today. The former major and minor league baseball player who took a fling at the prize fight game and

also played football, will come to Indianapolis to - day and visit with friends here. Carter reports he had. :an opportunity to : obtain Shir es’ j services and was i glad to make use of them. “The ! Great One” has |be e n refereeing mat tugs for more than a year. Shires, as a

Art Shires

member cf the Chicago White Sox a few years ago, hung up some sort of a record for engaging in fist fights with players and umpires. He was quick on the “wise cracks” and was a colorful player. A rivalry match that promises an unusual amount of action, headlines tomorrow night's three-bout program. It is a rematch between Frank Speer, 235, Atlanta “meanie,” and the popular Irish Pat O'Shocker, 227, Salt Lake City. The nationally known heavies staged one of the best bouts of the season at the Armory last Tuesday with Irish Pat losing out on a disqualification. Otto Kuss, 228, former Indiana University mat ace, returns after a long absence to tackle the aggressive Pete Schuh, 232, Birmingham, in the semi-windup. Tom Marvin, 212, Oklahoma, goes against Marshall Blackstock, 223, Arizona, in the opener at 8:30. ALLEN STILL UNSIGNED Timex Special CLEVELAND. Feb. 24.—With the signing of Roy Hughes, second baseman, Johnny Allen, former Yankee hurler, is the only holdout on the Cleveland Indians’ roster.

cials have estimated that 144 bouts will make up the program, so action, which is to start promptly at 7, is due to continue into the early morning hours. As in the Indianapolis Times-Le-gion event, eight-ounce gloves are to be used, and each bout will be scheduled for three two-minute rounds. Bouts tonight are to include only the four lighter weights—flys, bantams, feathers and lights. Indianapolis fighters scheduled to “swing ’em” tonight, then, are Bantamweight Judy Davies, Featherweight Skeet Dickerson and Lightweight Norval Binninger. Winners in first-round scraps tonight are to remain for second-round action on the same program. Attend Weigh-Ins The bigger boys are to plod into action tomorrow night—the welterweights, middleweights, lightheavies and heavies. Thus. Indianapolis lads who are to wait until tomorrow night to take off are Welterweight Harry Brown, Middleweight Johnny Chesunas% Lightheavy Frank lannuzzi and Heavyweight Elza Thompson. They also will be asked to engage in a second fight on the same night In case they win their first tests. Bouts on Wednesday night are to narrow the field to four contestants in all divisions Pairings for the approximate 364 participants will be made by lot. The Indianapolis boys trooped across to the Stadium this afternoon at 2 o’clock for the official weigh-ins and medical examinations. They were accompanied by Trainers Porter Stewart and Wilbur Boyce. None had any fear of being unable to make his weight, which would eliminate him from the tourney by default. Messrs. Davies. Dickerson and Binninger were scheduled to return to the Medinah Club for a light snack and a “rest-up” before setting out for the next big milestone in their fistic careers.

Purdue Five Out to Gain Tie for Lead Boilermakers May Pull Even With I. U. by Topping Minnesota Tonight. BY WINTHROP LYMAN United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Feb. 24.—Indiana and Purdue, two great teams from the Hoosier state, seemed destined today to tie for the Big Ten basketball championship. Indiana is on top with nine victories and one defeat, but Purdue has played one less game and has been defeated only once. Northwestern and Michigan apparently hold the key to the situation. Indiana has two games left, one at home with Ohio State, and one at Evanston with Northwestern. Purdue has three conference opponents yet to meet, lowa and Minnesota at Lafayette and Michigan at Ann Arbo r . Ohio State beat Indiana at Columbus, but the Hoosiers are back in stride and should reverse the tables with the home floor advantage. The real threat to Indiana's title hopes is Northwestern, the team which upset Purdue Saturday night at Evanston, 45 to 40. Purdue is expected to bounce back into a tie for the leadership by whipping Minnesota tonight. lowa should be comparatively easy since the game will be at Lafayette, but Michigan is a decided menace to the Boilermakers’ title hopes. Nine Games Charted Since neither Indiana nor Purdue should lose more than one game each, and since they probably will win them all, a tie appears inevitable. Nine games are on the conference program this week but two of them will be against non-league opponents. Northwestern plays at Wisconsin, Michigan at Illinois, Ohio Wesleyan at Ohio State and Minnesota at Purdue tonight. Minnesota will wind up its season tomorrow night at Notre Dame. The Saturday night program is Indiana at Northwestern, lowa at Purdue, Chicago at Wisconsin and Illinois at Ohio State. The Purdue-Northwestern game Saturday night was one of the real thrillers of the season despite the fact that the Wildcats led almost all the way. It was bitterly contested and fouls were frequent. The opposing players several times came near starting fist fights. Kessler Flashes Into Lead " Bob Kessler, the Purdue scoring ace, was held to two field goals but he sank nine free throws. His 13 points enabled him to take the conference individual scoring lead with 113 points, 11 more than Bill Haarlow of Chicago, who has played in the same number of games. Indiana took advantage of the Purdue setback to overwhelm Wisconsin, 54 to 21. Ken Gunning, Hoosier forward, had a big night with seven field goals and three free throws. Illinois tightened its hold on third place by nosing out Minnesota, 35 to 33. The Illini, which tied Purdue and Wisconsin for the title last year, have won six games and lost three. Their game with Michigan tonight will go a long way toward determining the eventual third place winner. Michigan took undisputed possession of fourth place by defeating lowa, 31 to 25. The Wolverines have won five and lost four. Chicago defeated North Central, 34 to 26, in the only other game. Kessler Gallops Into Point Lead Purdue Ace Passes Haarlow in Big Ten Race. By United Pres* CHICAGO. Feb. 24.—Capt. Bob Kessler of Purdue today led Bill Haarlow of Chicago in the Big Ten basketball individual scoring race. Kessler made 13 points against Northwestern on two field goals and nine free throws to boost his total to 113 in nine games. Haarlow, playing in the same number of contests, has scored 102 points. Ken Gunning, Indiana forward, moved into third place with 96 points after making seven field goals and three free throws against Wisconsin. The leaders: G. FG. FT. TP. Kessler.

Kautskys in Feature Tilt Local Cagers Tackle Touted Negro Tourists Here Tonight. With the huskiest and rangiest lineup they can muster from their roster, the local Kautsky A. C. professional basketball warriors were ready today for the second invasion of the touted Renaissance Negro team of New York at the Butler fieldhouse. The teams are to clash tonight at 9. Leroy Edwards, former Tech High School luminary and all-America pivot performer who has been borrowed from the U. S. Tires lineup, will give Kautskys additional heighth and probable scoring punch under the basket. Cy Proffitt, former Butler University center, will team with him at the other forward, with Frankie Baird prepared to enter the game if a long-range sniper is needed. Shaver Acting Captain Big George Chestnut is to cavort at center, with Johnnie Wooden providing the speed and drives under the basket. Ed Shaver, former Purdue University guard, completes the starting lineup. Shaver has been acting captain since “Cat” Wooden went on the injured list. Dave DeJernett, whose feats are remembered on the Washington (Ind.) High School and Indiana Central College teams, will be in the opening Ren lineup, augmenting the roster of “Fat” Jenkins, Willie Smith, Saitch and Cooper. Since handing the Kautsky team a 2D-to--27 defeat early last month, the Negro stars have toured continuously without defeat. Two Prelims Carded With the doors opening at 6:30, two preliminaries will hold the spotlight until the feature attraction begins. The Eli Lilly squad will oppose the Moth-Proof Cleaners at 7 followed by a rivalry contest between Crispus Attucks High School and the Silent Hoosiers at 8. Secos Win Local A. A. U.

Lee Matched for Ring Mix Merle Thompson, St. Louis, to Test City Feather Friday Night. Merle Thompson, St. Louis scrapper, has been secured to oppose Paul (Tennessee) Lee in the windup of the second of a series of weekly 'fight cards at the Armory Friday night. Lee, claimant of the state featherweight championship, will meet a worthy foe in Thompson, a former A. A. U. champion, in the 10-round event. Thompson has been fighting two years and has opposed such boxers as Pee Wee Terry, Tony Viviano, Everett Rightmire, Paul Lassiter and Dave Barry.

Manual Ends Campaign on Home Court Other City High Schools to Close Cage Season in Games on Road. FRIDAY Pittsboro at Manual. Broad Ripple at Greenfield. Shortridge at Anderson. Technical at Franklin. Washington at Plainfield. The regular season home schedule for all but one of Indianapolis' public high school basketball teams is completed. Manual’s Redskins wind up their campaign against Pittsboro on the South Side court next Friday night. Four other local public prep quintets are to ring down the curtain. but all are scheduled to invade foreign floors. Manual's city champions, beaten by Shortridge in their latest start, are favored to close their season in triumph against the Pittsboro cagers. The invaders are not regarded so strong this year as they were in ’35, when they entered the sectional tourney undefeated. Shortridge Tests Champs The outstanding out-of-town engagement pits Shortridge against Anderson’s state champions. The Shortridgers, after an unimpressive early season performance, have been stepping at a lively gait during the last month, and are expected to provide the defending champs plenty of stiff opposition as they taper off for state tournament play. The Chaddmen indicated that they are out to make a running start into the sectional rape when they whipped Tech here last week. Tech's Big Green warriors invade Franklin, where the Grizzly Cubs have been traveling at their usual fast clip this season. Going into the game with a record of four games won against seven lost, the Techmen hope to finish above the .500 mark by handing the Franklin five a surprise setback. Ripple Next in Line To Broad Ripple.falls the last opportunity of snapping Greenfield's superiority over Indianapolis quintets. The Greenfield netters already have conquered Shortridge, Washington and Cathedral, and expect to top the list with Ripple Friday night. The faltering Rockets bowed to Noblesville at the Flour City last Saturday night. Washington closes the book with a visit to Plainfield. The Continentals bogged into a slump during the middle of the season and are finding the recovery trail hard to locate. One of their biggest difficulties in getting back on the triumph path before sectional time arrives will be the stopping of Forest Weber, Plainfield’s rangy, high-scoring center.
