By Eddie Ash EIGHT NEW IN 2-MINUTE CLASS mas HARNESS GAME SETTING RECORDS

p'KIHT fleet trotters and pacers, world record number, joined the charmed two-minute list during 1935. But while these eight became immortals of the harness turf, the new season is expected to produce an even greater volume of harness horses capable of spinning off a mile in two minutes or less. These figures, compiled by the Trotting Horse Club, speak for themselves, according to E. Roland Larriman, of New York, president of the governing body and head of the Gr nd Circuit. ' Just a.s automobiles are being perfected to travel faster and smoother, so are trotters and pacers gaining speed and endurance aa years roll on,” Mr. Harriman declares. “Never before in the history of the sport have so many a.s eight horses joined the two-minute list. And yet 1936, from every indication, will see even greater speed.” The eight which are listed a.s two-minute performers of 1935 are: Greyhound, 2:00, 1935 Hambletonian Stake victor; Tara. 2:00, and Calumet Evelyn, 2:00. All these are trotters. Pacers which complete the list are: Calumet Evelyn, 1:59'4 (doublegailedi; Laurel Hanover, 1:59%; Cardinal Prince, 1:59 1 f; Theo Guy, 2:09, and Dominion Grattan, 2:00. Until 1936, only 23 trotters and 44 pacers had joined the two-minute list during the scores of years in which records have been kept.

THIS year, three strong candidates for the Hambletonian. to be raced August 12 on a greatly expanded Grand Circuit, iook as though they would join the twominute performers. They are: Rosalind. 2:03: Rosette, 2:06. and Ruth M Ms r , 2:09. All got these marks in 1935 as two-year-olds. Other horses, with their 1935 records, which are expected to lower their marks under two minutes include: Lawrence Hanover. 2:00%; Angel Child. 2:00% ; Hollyrood Phyllis. 2:00%; Warwell Worthy, 2 03%: Bertha C. Hanover. 2*01%. Two juvenile pacers of 1935, in Jack Orr, 2:04%, and Erla, 2:04%, also arc expected to reach two minutes or better. tt tt a The ( inry Reds say they don’t have the proper soil on the playing field at (heir training camp in Puerto Rirn.

Following a victory over Ohio State last night In Bloomington, which gained assurance of a share in Big Ten championship honors, Coach Everett Dean, above, of Indiana University today announced his selections for an all-Confer-ence varsity basketball team. Four outstanding members of his own Iloosier squad were chosen by Coach Dean. The team: Forwards, Kessler, Purdue; Gunning, Indiana, and Haarlow, Chicago.

Martinsville It Is tt tt tt a tt tt Scribe Reiterates Stand on State Title Choice—and Changes Subject to Tourney System.

BY PAUL BOXELL A FEW nays ago this corner offered a piece about Coach Glen Curtis of Martinsville which was intended to convey the colossal prediction that the Artesians’will win the state high school basketball cham-

pionship. Clarity must have been lost behind the veil of caution, however, for numerous interested parties still are wanting to know why the surveillant seer refuses to put himself out on the old limb this year. In fact, that reverse compliment—“sissie"—has been flying around al-, together too freely. Some people are queer that way. They like to get the poor old basketball scribe deep in hot water and watch him squirm while some pint-sized darkhorse applies the heat to his confessed favorite. But, as someone has remarked, it's all in a day’s work; so here's repeating without benefit of provisos that Martinsville should be

In that event, the four teams which have accepted invitations will be seeded in the district tourney, and four others will be drawn from the subdistrict meet to be held at the local fieldhouse Friday and Saturday of this week. Fourteen schools were selected to play in this week’s eliminations. Butler, Ball State, Central Normal and Indiana State are the Hoosier schools which will vie for berths in the district tourney. De Pauw University will not participate. Cincinnati University and Miami University have accepted from Ohio, but a game scheduled for Saturday night prevents Western Reserve of Cleveland from competing here. Ohio Wesleyan and Marietta have not communicated with William F. Fox, chairman of the district committee. Wayne University of Detroit also is to conclude the regular schedule Friday night with a game which university officials will not permit to be cancelled, and final decision is being withheld until later Detroit University is the other Michigan team still to make an announcement.

I. U. ENDS SCHEDULE ONE UP ON PURDUE

Boilermakers Are Placed in Ticklish Spot Hoosiers Fight Off Bucks in Exciting Tilt and Win, 40-34 ; By United Press BLOOMINGTON, Ind., March 3. —lndiana today held its first Big Ten basketball title since 1928, but faced the probability of being forced to share it with Purdue's Boilermakers. Working furiously from the starting whistle, the Hoosiers last night defeated Ohio State, 40 to 34, to finish their Conference schedule , with 11 victories and one defeat. , The win here last night was doubly 1 sweet because the Buckeyes had administered Indiana its only defeat at Columbus early in the season. Purdue at Michigan Purdue has one game—with Michigan at Ann Arbor Saturday—left on its schedule. The Boilermakers are favored to win. If they do, the Conference crown will be divided equally, as Purdue now has 10 victories and one defeat. Purdue defeated Michigan at Lafayette earlier in the season, but it’s going to be a jittery week on the Boilermakers, owing to the “pressure” that is bound to be felt by the players while waiting for their last game to come up. In other words, the burden is now on the Lafayette basketeers. Their rivals down the Monon are “in” and assured of at least a tie for the chan.pionship and an undisputed pennant if the Wolverines turn in an upset Saturday. Bucks Make Hard Fight Games last night failed to j change standings materially. Northwestern defeated Wisconsin, 49-26; Michigan turned back Illinois, 35-22, and lowa handed Chicago a 47-38 lacing. As result of its victory over Illinois, Michigan was sure of at least a tie for third place. Indiana’s final victory was not | achieved without a dogged fight throughout the game. Although setting the pace most of the route, the Hoosiers were pressed by the determined Buckeye squad, whicii hammered relentlessly at the heels of the Crimson. Coach Everett Dean's squad held a 23-to-18 lead at the intermission (Turn to Page Seventeen)

singing a triumphant solo after the final quartet has tolled off the last funeral ditty at the fieldhouse March 28. tt tt a IF il Duce Trester and his I. H. S. A. A. Board of Control intended to scout neighboring states for a system to use in their sure-to-be-remodeled 1937 state tourney, may I urge that they shy away from Illinois? Now the new plan being tested this year in Illinois may work out all right in that state but it simply wouldn’t get to first base in Hoosierland. The western neighbor SEEDS its entries for first-round eliminations! Just imagine an attempt to seed, or rank, teams in rivalryfilled Indiana! For instance, what would happen if a comifiittee officially ranked Ben Davis above Shortridge, or visa versa, in our sectional? The upshot would be something in the way of a major riot, or at the least a complete wreckage of the tournament. Then there’s the matter of New Albany and Jeffersonvillle; .the official rater who seeded Jeffersonville above New Albany would need more than the state militia to protect his hide. nun THEY say no howls have been raised in Illinois, though. That's a good record when you consider that 876 teams, nearly 100 more than Indiana's field, have entered. But high school basketball rivalry in Illinois, as in every other state in the Union, has a long way to go before it reaches the tempestuous peak enjoyed—and that is the word—in Hoosierdom. Just, to be different, I suppose, Illinois reverses our terms for divisional centers. Whereas we label our opening 64 meets “sectionals,” Illinois dubs them “regionals.” Our surviving teams tangle in 16 “regionals,” while over there the same 16 playoffs are known as “sectionals.” Curiously, there is one point on which both states agree. The : finals are the “state finals” and j that's that; possibly because Illinois ! can think of no other appropriate ; designation. a a IN each of Illinois’ 64 regionals (sectionals, we insist), a commit- | tee of principals and coaches ranks the competing teams, usually 14 in ; number, according to strength. The six with the highest ranking in each regional draw automatic byes for the first round. (In Indiana, the committeemen more likely would be drawing automatics for goodbyes before the meeting terminated.) Remaining teams in the Illinois regionals then play first round games and are pitted against the six toprankers according to their opening performances. Incidentally, the Illinois state finals are held over a three-day j period, beginning on Thursday j tnoi ning. • Evidently Illinois is one state which has faith in the moral stand- ‘ ard of its high school students.

By United Press BUFFALO. March 3.—Phil Gallivan, Buffalo pitcher purchased from Indianapolis, today announced his retirement from baseball in favor of a business venture in St. Paul.

Reich Goes Fistic-Minded as Max Points for Bout Germany to Honor Schmeling, Win or Lose Against Louis, Sports Press Chief Declares. By United Press BERLIN. March 3.—Germany will stand solidly behind Max Schmeling in his June bout in New York against -Joe Louis, American Negro, whether he wins or loses, Guido Von Mengden, press chief of Germany’s Sportage, the state sport governing organization, told the United Press today, I

“Schmeling Is the most famous j and best loved athlete in modern German history and the Reich wishes him well,” Von Mengdcn said. “Naturally, we hope Schmeling wins, but if he loses the nation will not go into mourning and we will continue to go about our tasks without dropping our heads.” Germany has gone boxing minded in the last few years, Von Mengden said, as a result of Schmeling’s ascension to the world’s heavyweight title by his victory over Jack Sharkey on a foul in 1930. Boxing is now recognized as one of the Reich’s major amateur and professional sports. “Interest increased so rapidly,” said Von Mengden, “that a proclamation was issued a year ago, including boxing as a part of the curriculum in all high schools and gymnasiums. In addition, it is compulsory in the army, police and labor camps.” Because of the interest in the sport, Germany should have its strongest boxing team in history for the 1936 Olympics.

By United Press CORAL GABLES, Fla., March 3. —Floored three times by low blows, Freddie Miller hammered out a 15round decision over Petey Sarron, Birmingham Syrian, to retain his featherweight crown here last night.

Each time he came back with the form that kept him champion against 16 previous challengers The 6.500 spectators stayed in an uproar as Sarron drove in relentlessly with a whirling windmill attack that time and again was halted by the champion's defensive tactics. The champion slowed noticeably jis the bell ended the seventh but came back in the eighth with a renewed attack that sent Sarron in retreat. At the finish, Miller rocked the challenger with a series of lefts as Sarron had shot his bolt. . The Syrian was at his best in the third when he caught Miller on the ropes and criss-crossed him. Both fighters entered the ring at 125, one pound under the featherweight limit.

March 3.—Dick Shikat, Philadelphia, was recognized today as the new world heavyweight wrestling champion as a result of a drab victory' scored last night over Danno O'Mahoney, Ireland, before 7000 persons in Madison Square Garden. O'Mahoney, who won the title from Jim Londos at Boston in June, relinquished the title himself when he couldn't stand the pain of a hammer lock Shikat had clamped on him. The Irishman gave up after 18 minutes 57 seconds of tame grappling. Most of the bout was dull and uninteresting, but once Shikat gained the upper hand he showed the champion no mercy. First he clamped a toe hold on the Irishman. Then he switched to a painful hammer lock. He threatened to break O'Mahoney'* arm and then turned to Referee George Bothner. When the official asked O'Mahoney to yield, the champion quickly gave up t<? avoid further punishment. It was five minutes before O'Mahoney left the ring with his arm hanging limply at his side.
