By Eddie Ash KLEIN MAY BE ON WAY BACK mum ANYWAY, HE’S BLASTING SPHERE

w HEN Charles (Chuck) Klein of Indianapolis cracked out a home run in the fifth game of the World Series last fall and sent the classic to six battles, many observers predicted the Hoosier would bounce back into the headlines this year. And he’s doing that very thing. The batting of Klein has been a feature of the Chicago Cubs’ spring training workouts in California in spite of the fact the hurlers he has been facing hold an advantage of one week over him in practice. lie reported with the second squad of Bruins and immediately started blasting the horsehide to the deep stretches of the outfield. Chuck flunked out as a consistent hitter last season after staging a long uphill drive to go over the .300 mark. A slump got him down and he was a forgotten player until he belted out the World Series homer. Manager Charlie Grimm shares the view of others that Klein is on his way back and the guess is that the Hoosier will be found camped in right field when the season gets under way. Klein cost a small fortune when purchased from the Phillies a few years ago. He was the National League’s chief swatter at the time and Chicago club officials felt so sure they had the reigning star that Chuck was given a contract calling for $30,000. Perhaps the big fellow tried too hard to live up to the headlines and it’s just possible that he is destined to regain his old fame.

Kautskys Take City Pro Honors , Face Loop Foes Local Basket Club to Vie in Midwest Round-Robin After Downing U. S. Tires. BY HARRISON MILLER “There’s goals in them halls”—meaning the basketball temples at Akron. Detroit and Pittsburgh where the local Kautsky A. C. team is slated to engage in a round-robin series for the championship of the Midwest Conference. But the Hoasier pros will have to connect on a better percentage from the field than they could register yestertlay when they defeated the U. S. Tire aggregation at the Armory, 25 to 20, in a listless encounter for the city professional basketball title.

Kautskys finished the regular schedule yesterday on top of the heap with nine victories and three losses. Detroit Hod-Aids finished in second place in the Western section. Akron Firestones annexed the Eastern section with Pittsburgh Y. M. H. A. in runnerup position. The four teams are to engage in a playoff with appearances in each of the four cities, starting at the Armory here March 15. Saving ’Em for Rainy Days The ex-collegians who perform for Manager Frank Kautsky evidently were saving points for a rainy day yesterday against the Tiremen, but then: thriftiness almost was their undoing. Big Cy Proffitt dribbled under the basket for a two-pointer at the start of the game, and the Kautskys became, stingy for the rest of the first half. It was their only tally from the field, but eight free throws gave them a 10-to-5 lead when the teams went out for a rest which was not needed. Their Shipp Came In Yohlcr and Gene Demmary each tossed in fteid goals to be the “heavy scorers" for the Tires. It appeared that the Rubbermen were waiting for their Shipp to come in, and when genial Charley found the range in the second half with four long heaves from far out on the court, the Tires started closing the gap but Pcrigo hit twice, and George Chestnut and Johnny Wooden kept pouring in free throws to enable the winners to stay in front four and five points throughout. Even the decisions of Officials Silver and Harris could not get the crowd in ah interested mood until the closing minutes. Summary: Kautskys r2s> U. S.

Wisconsin Feels Position Is Safe No Cause for Ouster Cry, Regent States I By United Pr< ss MADISON. Wis.. March 2.—The | University of Wisconsin board of regents waited for President Glenn I Frank's nominations to anew faculty athletic board today, to prove l the Badgers are qualified to remain in the Big Ten Conference.

"There really is no cause for alarm." he said. “There's nothing to do but wait until Dr. Frank appoints anew athletic board." The old board resigned in a huff because the regents ignored its recommendation for retention of Dr. Walter E. Meanwell. athletic director. The regents ousted Meanwell. Football Coach Clarence E.

Indiana Seeks to Clinch Share of Title Tonight Crimson Cagers Tangle With Ohio State in Big Ten Windup;,Purdue Idle Until March 7. BY WINTHROP LYMAN United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, March 2.—lndiana University can win its first Big Ten basketball championship since 1928 by defeating Ohio State tonight at Bloomington. It will be the final conference game for both teams and it promises to be bitterly contested.

The Hoosiers will have a double incentive to win since their only conference defeat was administered by Ohio State, 43 to 34, at Columbus last month. Indiana, in case of a victory, probably will have to share the title with Purdue, however. The Boilermakers also have one game left, against Michigan at Ann Arbor March 7. The two Indiana representatives have completely outdistanced the rest of the field, each winning 10 games and losing one. Because of the rotating Big Ten schedule, Purdue and Indiana didn’t meet this year. Three other games are on the program tonight: Illinois at Michigan; Wisconsin at Northwestern and lowa at Chicago. Gunning Goes Gunning Indiana left no doubt as to its right to share the championship by trouncing Northwestern Saturday night, 41 to 34. Ken Gunning, Indiana’s star forward, strengthened his grip on third place in the individual scoring race by connecting for 19 points on eight baskets and three free throws. He has made 115 points in 11 games. Capt, Bob Kessler of Purdue collected 22 points against lowa to take a big lead in the individual scoring

O’Shocker Expects to Outlast Strangler Here Irish Pat Believes Stamina Will Play Deciding Part in Feature Wrestling Tug at Armory. Speed and stamina are factors that Irish Pat O’Shocker believes will be in his favor at the Armory tomorrow night when he goes against Ed (Strangler) Lewis, former title holder, in the main go on the all-heavy-weight wrestling card of the Hercules A. C. The popular O'Shocker, who tossed Frank Speer, Atlanta “meanie” here last Tuesday, figures he will have too much “staying power’’ for

the veteran Californian. Most of Lewis’ victories arrive as a result of his punishing headlock hold, but Irish Pat is confident he can stay clear of Ed's most powerful weapon of attack. O’Shocker says ho is not over-rating his own ability and views the bout as one of the most important of his career. What stacks up as the best supporting program staged here in months will be offered preceding the feature attraction. The semiwindup will see Otto Kuss. 228, former Indiana University mat ace, in a test against two-fisted Tom Marvin. 214, Tulsa. Otto beat Pete Schuh, 236, here last Tuesday and demonstrated that he has improved. Ernie Zeller, 228, former Indiana State Normal athlete, will pit his skill aaginst the powerhouse tactics of Babe Zaharias. 236, Pueblo. Colo., in the opener. Zeller has gone undefeated in four local bouts.

Sid Rosenthal of lowa made 15 points against Purdue, but Purdue won, 54 to 38. Illinois took undisputed possession of third place by nosing out Ohio State, 20 to 29. The Illini will attempt to clinch that position tonight at Ann Arbor. Northwestern should clinch a first division berth at Wisconsin’s expense tonight. lowa’s only hope is to stay in seventh place and even if Haarlow does go wild the Hawkeyes should take Chicago.

State High School Quintets Prime for Big Battles on 64 Sectional Basket Fronts Shortridge Favored to Survive Strong Field of 16 in Local Tourney: Ben Davis, Tech and Manual Ranked as Outstanding Competitors. BY PAUL BOXELL •The annual mad scramble for recognition as Indiana's finest high school basketball team is due to break, out with all its famed fury the latter part of this week. The relentless weeding out process which is to cut down a vast field of 784 quintets to a lone survivor begins with sectional play in 64 centers. Eliminations are to start Thursday night in centers having 13 or more competing quintets: battle on all fronts gets under way

Friday. Three games are to light off the fireworks in the Marion County sectional at the Tech gym Thursday night. Whereas the Tech meet appeared to be a wide-open race a few weeks ago, with Ben Davis, if any one, having a slight edge, this observer believes anew favorite has bobbed up of late to take a conspicuous place in the tourney limelight. Without further ado. let it be said that Shortridge is the logical entry to be ‘‘seeded’’ No. 1- over 15 city and county rivals. Whvs and Wherefores The Blue Devils were weak early in the season, dropping decisions right and left, but when they did come through with an occasional victory, they turned the trick in a manner which radiated promise for the late campaign windup. And sure enough. Coach Peterman got the boys “rolling” after bowing to Manual in the city tourney, with a resultant record of nine victories in the last eleven starts. Included among those victories was an avenger over Manual's city champs and a “grand finale” thrust which toppled Anderson's defending state titleholders. Shortridge is on the opening night’s program Thursday, opposing Decatur Central in the third game at 9. New Augusta and Oaklandon are to raise the curtain at 7, after which Broad Ripple takes on Lawrence. Continentals in Slump Continuing the ratings, this corner would seed Ben Davis No. 2, Manual No. 3 and Technical No. 4. Washington is down in the list because the Continentals have dropped into an ill-timed slump for which there seems to be no solution. Ben Davis, Manual and Tech face a rougher road than do Shortridge and Washington. The first-named trio must battle it out in the lower bracket while the upper bracket apparently resolves into a duel between the latter pair. Ben Davis is charted for the toughest first-round test, tackling Southport in the feature tussle of the Friday morning session at 11. The Giants have tripped their traditional foes no less than three times this season, but past events in this rivalry, as in many others over the state, mean nothing at tourney time. City squads appear in other Friday morning frays. Washington and Tech expect to win handily over Acton and Castleton at 9 and 10 o'clock respectively. Hot Time in Second Round First-round play will be completed when Warren Central and Beech Grove tangle at 2 and Manual hooks up with New Bethel at 3 Friday afternoon. The second round, which promises such super-attractions as Shortridge vs. Washington and Tech vs. Ben Davis, will be completed by Friday night. tt tt tt COACH ARCHIE CHADD of Anderson is casting a wary eye toward Alexandria after casting said eye over a of last Friday night’s games. . . . The scoresheet revealed that Norm Cottom s Tigers blithely closed their season by trouncing Muncie’s Bearcats Drawings for the Anderson sectional present Alexandria as the Indians' likely opponent in the final encounter. . ~. Bloomington and Martinsville also are in divergent brackets at Bloomington. . . . Berne looks good to come out of the Bluffton arena again. . . . Scircleville is slated as the first sacrificial lamb to Frankfort’s titular aspirations. ... It is noted that Referee Hugh Vandiver was not assigned to the Muncie sectional. . . . Clay City and Jefferson Township clash in a first-round debate at Brazil. . . . That's what you and call a statesman’s game.

Irish Eke Out 34-30 Triumph Notre Dame Forced to Go Limit to Conquer Scrappy Bulldogs. The scrappy, determined Butler University basketball team which Saturday night handed the vaunted Notre Dame cagers the biggest scare that the Irish have encountered in their 13-game victory march, today returns to the fieldhouse court with renewed optimism to prepare for the sub-distric. Olympic basketball eliminations. The Olympic play begins at Fairview fleldhouse Friday and Saturday. Coach Tony Hinkle's Bulldogs provided 40 minutes of thrills for approximately 7500 spectators when they closed their regular schedule by falling four points short of stopping the Irish parade. The score was 34 to 30. To Captain Toy Jones and Scott Armstrong in particular goes the credit for the spectacular attack of the team which had lost seven straight encounters, only to bound back with a flashy performance that rivals all past Bulldog-Irish feud renewals.
