Steele 8 to 5 Favorite

The price makers have made | Steele the favorite at 8 to 5 but any | time a young man shells out $25,000 | —and I am assured this is not tin | foil—for the privilege of meeting a fellow member of the cult he must want to meet him very badly. What | do vou suppose he'd pay to meet | Gypsy Rose Lee? Still there could be no higher testimonial to Risko's confidence in his ability to win back the championship, despite the fact that in two previous meetings with the tartar from Tacoma he finished | back with the Landonites, breath- | ing thickly and slightly bewildered. | Steele is the picture fighter of | two, a slick boxer and a joltHe looks like Loughran like Leonard-—loosely Risko is one of those guys, with a tireless | pair of legs and a vat full of animal | energy. Two different types of fighters with contrasting styles.

ing hitter. and works speaking. busy, annoying

Tonight's primitive test is over the full derby route of 15 rounds, which is at least one item that would seem | to be definitely in favor of the rugged Risko. Anyway I think it | safe to bet he'll be on his feet at the finish and if Steele is too finely | trained—as has been suggested—the dope may take another messy belt- | ing. In a sense this would be a bit mournful because Steele from the standpoint of class appears to be | the best middleweight the game has developed in a long stretch of pancake Tuesdays; his continued suc- | cess accompanied by impressive brutal flourishes would do much to sustain the newly awakened interest in the division. There have been times around here when Risko looked more like a bell hop than a prize fighter and when the gong would ring you wished he would grab a pitcher of ice water and ferry it up to room 1418 and stay there for the week- | end. But he has been fighting only pince 1934 and it was almost intvitable he would get better as he Sent along.

Notre Dame at High Pitch for Battle With Pittsburgh Tomorrow Night at South Bend Because a Victory Would Mean Revenge.

OHNNY MOIR, the Notre Dame scoring ace, is so nearsighted that he can’t see the scoreboard from the floor and he never knows how many points he's scored until the gun is fired. But that doesn’t he the sprightly Irishman from hoping he can break the 25-point record he set against Pittsburgh last year when the two teams meet tomorrow night at South Bend.

Of course Johnny doesn’t mean to hog all the chances at the basket. When asked about tomorrow's game he said he didn't care who scored the points just so it was Notre Dame boys who scored them. But that doesn’t mean that Johnny will toss away any oppor= tunities either. Pittsburgh and Notre Dame always manage to stir up plenty of interesting angles for their games. To make it more than just another grudge battle, the Irish will be attempting to clean up their early season slate by defeating the only quintet which has the chance to beat them twice this season. They have come back against Illinois and Northwestern. But the Panthers stand in their way and the Irish know how much the Pitt boys mean business. The game has been a sellout for a week. Both teams have wan 11 out of the last 12 of their games. Notre Dame lost to Pitt eight games ago and the Pittmen dropped their only loss to Georgetown.

” " x ” ” »

ITT, like the Irish, had most of its tough luck at the beginning of the season. The Panthers lost their first two games to DePaul and Northwestern, both of whom were “hot” at the start of the race. Since then Pitt has won from Wisconsin, Temple, Carnegie Tech, Notre Dame, Navy, Penn State, Westminster, and Duquesne, losing one to Georgetown, The Panthers trailed Notre Dame by nine points and Duquesne by 15 points at the halves of those games but won both of them, The Pitt center, Garcia, tied the Duquesne score at 47 with one of the longest shots on record and his team went ahead to win, 51-50 in the overtime. Notre Dame's season started with three victories, then they lost to Illinois and Northwestern. They came back and won from Northwestern, Butler, Chicago, Kentucky, ‘Syracuse, Penn, Western Reserve, Illinois, Purdue, New York U. and Canisius, losing the one game to Pitt. They showed signs of - weakening in the game with Canisius at Buffalo Monday, after leading 26-16 at the half. The lead went to Canisius twice during the second period but the Irish came through to win, 40-36. =" n » » = n

HEN J. Owen Huntsman came back to Earlham to coach the team he once starred on, he came hack with plenty of pep and soon got a reputation as a winner. He said that making winning basketball teams wouldn't come in one season but he almost proved himself wrong on that point. For his two years have been pleasant ones for Earlham basketball fans. This year he has sent the Quaker Quints into battle with so formidable an attack that he’s assured the 1937 squad a new alltime scoring record for Earlham teams. The quintet has scored 549 points in 14 contests. The final game is to be played at Richmond one week from tomorrow against the undefeated Central Normal team. The game with Evansville tomorrow has been cancelled. The leading Quaker scorer, Lawrence Leland of Wabash, Ind. has dropped in 143 points in the 13 games in which he has played. This is two points better than the mark set by Maurice Jordan, who played on last year's squad. Jordan is now coaching at Spartanberg High School. There is no doubt that Mr. Huntsman has won his way into the hearts of the Earlham students and alumni. The main reason, aside from the fact that he's a jolly good fellow, is that his team has downed Earlham's three staunch rivals, Butler, DePauw and Wabash, at every meeting this season. The Quaker team has taken 10 out of the 14 games,
