Ball Loses To Franklin

Grizzlies Win Eighth Straight By 38-37 Score.

FRANKLIN, Ind. Jan. 6 (U. P). —Franklin edged past Ball State last night, 38 to 37, to win their eighth straight game. Ironically enough, a McCracken beat a Mce Cracken. Building up a 23-15 lead at halfe time, the Grizzlies maintained the margin until late in the game when baskets by J. Risinger and Lackey started a ‘Ball State rally. Mce Cracken scored for Franklin but Rudicel . came back for Coach McCracken’s crew with two buckets to make the score 38 to 37. Franklin then held Ball until the final gun. Rudicel’s six field goals and two free tosses gave him scoring honors, McCracken was the power of the Grizzlies’ offense with nine points, Franklin (38). = Ball State (37). . FG FT f Cc. g. $.

CHICAGO, Jan. 6 (U. P.)—The National Interscholastic Football Rules Committee, which governs play in 20 states, will meet here Frie day and Saturday to consider possie ble code changes for 1938. Henry V. Porter of Chicago, Rules Committee secretary, said his quese tionnaire to member states indie cated there would be no major changes. “Many believe football would be a better game if the goal posts were put back on the goal line,” Porter said. “The injury hazard prevents this action, but there are several proposals designed to give all the advantages of having them on the foal line without the danger feae ures.”

Tony Has Home-Coming;

4 Joe Looks in on Triumph

By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Jan. 6.—This is my story of a trip to Orange, N. J., to see Tony Galento fight Charles Massera. Tony lives in Orange. Massera is from Pittsburgh. It wasn't to be much of a fight. A couple of second-rate heavyweights. But over in Jersey it was something of a sensation. The fight was held in the Orange Armory. For the second time in history it was packed for a prize fight. All the name writers in the prize fight game were at the ring side. More important all the best people of Jersey were there. > Joe Louis may be a great hitter, Max Schmeling may be a great all-around fighter, Tommy Farr may: be the epitome of courage, but so far as Orange, N. J. is concerned, there is only one fighter—and that is Tony Galento. You see, Tony runs a saloon in Orange and he is a big, expansive

fellow. He likes all the neighbors

and the neighbors’ children. And they all like him. And he hates all the prize fighters who get their names in the metropolitan newspapers. Tony says he can whip them all and with one punch. And the neighbors and’ the neighbors’ children agree. : Before Tony came to the fight last night, to fight among his own people in his own town, he had a band —and the band preceded him to the armory playing popular songs. To some of the older newspapermen it was reminiscent of another era. It reminded them of the time John L. Sullivan rode over the cobbled stone streets of New Orleans with an Irish 1ilt on his lips. He was on his way to- defend the heavyweight championship against James J. Corbett. It was a fine bit of bravado. The Resemblance Ends

The connection was rather far fetched. Tony's assignment didn’t compare to John L’s. There was no

' championship invoved. Tony was

fighting just another guy. The stage was set for a home-coming party.

and a hangover midriff. He isn’t much of a fighter as you rate fighters by artistic standards. His idea of fighting is to get into the ring and start throwing punches. It wouldn’t mean much to him whether he was fighting Louis, Schmeling or some mug who refused to pay for his beer at Tony’s saloon. He just likes to fight. So presently we go upstairs lo ses the fight. The scene is reminiscen of an old-time fight hall. It looked something like a movie version of what a bare kunckle fight setting would ‘look like. The seating arrangements were catch as catch can, the lighting was something that resembled a London fog; there was no showmanship in the presentation of the performers,—unless you knew the men it was difficult to tell when they were presenting the preliminary fighters and the wind-up fighters. : Well, finally the fight everybody in Jersey wanted to see got under way. They introduced Massera and there was a mild cheer. They infroduced Tony and the roof came off the ancient place. Pretty soon the bell rang. If didn’t take long to prove to everybody that this fight was arranged for a fine home-com-ing for Tony—and an added boost for the excellence of the beer he serves at his tavern. By that I mean there never was the slightest doubt as to the outcome. Tony won the first round by being very ferocious as to facial tactics; he won the second round by pumping a left hand into the obvious victim's midriff and in the third he settled it all by landing a short punch to the jaw which your correspondent didn’t see and quite honestly, doubted. It isn’t often that I have to go around and confer with the boys as to the validity of a punch but the testimony ‘in this case was so much against my own judgment that I decided I was wrong. So I write with a sort of strained sort of enthusiasm that Tony de his home-coming perfect. § And it shouldn’t be so strained because, as I have said, it was obyious from the start he didn’t have much fo beat. If there is any odium attached to the fight it must be directed at Massera. He may have taken the easy way out. : I don’t need the support of anybody to convince me that sooner or later Tony would have got him.

spectively, and it is the hope of both San Romani and Lash—the latter supreme at two miles—that some day they will carve out a 4:05 mile. It's more than a hope with San Romani. It’s a burning ambition. Although the barrel-chested Cunningham breezed home in front of San Romani in the Sugar Bowl mile, theyll be cldser than a couple of eyelashes, once the athletes get into their fully conditioned swing. The spectacular careers of Cunningham and San Romani are strangely parallel. Both are natives of Kansas and now compete under the banner of the New York Curb Exchange. Both suffered such severe leg injuries in childhood that it was feared they would not walk again. Little San Romani patterned himself after his illustrious neighbor.
