Local | Te: eams Clash Tonight

Loss Would Knock Bulldogs Out of Running in State | Loop Race. |

Basketball fans will have their eyes focused on the Butler Fieldhouse tonight where Coach Tony Hinkle's Butler Bulldogs and Indiana Central will battle it out for local supremacy of the hardwood floor. Both teams are keyed for the crucial battle and with a string of 11 consecutive victories Coach Harry Good's Greyhounds are pregame favorites to repeat last sea-

son’s decisive 41-t0-27 triumph. Because of last week's poor showing against Central Normal, Butler is determined to stage a comeback and upset the dope. The return of Jerome Steiner, flashy sophomore forward, to the starting lineup has bolstered hopes for Butler. For the first time in recent years, both teams are evenly matched. Despite the fact that the Hinklemen were dropped from the undefeated ranks in the Indiana Intercollegiate Conference last week, their past victories over Northwestern, Pittsburgh, Michigan, Boston and Cincinnati indicate that they have the ability for a comeback. Unless the Bulldogs can chalk up a win over the Greyhounds tonight, they will probably be out of the race for the conference championship. At the rate the University Heights quintet has been going this will be a hard task for the Blue and White boys. Included in the Greyhounds’ victory column so far are nine victories in which they have mowed down the opposition of nine state schools. Both teams concluded preparations yesterday. The Greyhounds tapered off with a light defensive drill while the Butler aggregation labored with offensive tactics. Tonight's battle is scheduled to start at 8:15 p. m. and the probable starting lineups are: INDIANA CENTRAL

NEW YORK, Jan. 18.—Jim Brad-

dock tells the press he will whip Tommy Farr when they meet in a 10-rounder Friday night at the Garden and then he will go on to recapture the heavyweight championship. He really may feel this way. He even may do it. But he'd be a sucker if he expressed himself any other way. That wouldn't do the box office any good, would it? I don’t expect Braddock ever to win the cham - pionship back, but I do wish somebody would just to see what effect it would have on the cosmic scheme. It seems to me that ever since I was knee high to a Rhode Island hen I have been hearing about this awesome possibility. By now I have reached a point where my curiosity is brimming over and I am more than eager to find out whether the world has been missing something through the failure of one of the old champions to come back, or whether life would go on pretty much as it always had. I can’t help but feel from the hysterical stress that is always placed on the possibility of a heavy-

weight comeback that when and if the thing actually does materialize it will be a positive boon to humanity, amounting almost to a miracle. Maybe there won't be any more taxes, amateur hours, surrealist art or child evangelists. I hazard such supreme optimism because it seems reasonable to expect tremendous happenings in view of all the white space that has been devoted to the subject for the last 30 years. It just must be important in its implications. John L. Sullivan didn't try to come back but most of the others did—and they failed, though I'll maintain until the angels fold me to their fluttering hearts that a fellow named Dempsey came back one night out there in Chicago.

They Never Give Up

But that's neither here nor in Hoboken. The point is that every time a fermer champion comes up to a fight he looks dreamily into | space—or maybe he got that way from a bad night—and says, ‘“Corbett couldn't do it, Fitzsimmons couldn’t do it, Jeffries couldn't do it, Johnson couldn't do it, but I'm going to do it.” Some of the old geezers probably think they can, too, and the resolve is certainly human and understandable enough. All I hope, to repeat, is that one of them will do it before long and get the suspense over with. The world has stood up all right under the splitting of the

atom, the modification of the stymie and the collapse of Minsky's. How will it react to the first heavyweight champion who comes back? There are, unhappily, many callous souls in this world. There are even some who might be disposed to ignore the enormous social and historical importance of such an event. I mean, it actually wouldn't mean a thing to them if Braddock, taking him as a convenient example, managed to become the first heavyweight champion to regain the crown. These are the kind of people who sneer at Uncle Don, smile-for-health week and the fine subtle philosophy of Bob Burns. No man walks the earth today with vision enough to foretell whether the return of an old champion to the throne drastically would change the course of world affairs; but there can be no doubt it would have an immediate and visible effect on the art of cartooning. This very situation—the long, discouraging struggle of various champions to regain their eminence in what is known as the field of fistiana—has produced one of the enduring epics of cartooning. It appeared first on a minor scale when Corbett tried his comeback against Jeffries in 1900. And it has reappeared in amplified form regularly with every successive attempt through the years.

They Tried and Failed

Undoubtedly you have seen this masterpiece. It is called “The Thinker.” It is said a fellow named Rodin later lifted the idea and worked it into a piece of freehand masonry for the arty set in Europe. It’s a terrific thing. As Dumb Dan Morgan says, “there's something about it that gets you.” It shows a guy on a stump with his chin in his hand giving the old noodle a stiff workout. He is labelled “The Champ.” And all around him lying in the dust are bent and twisted bodies of “Corbett,” “Fitz,” “Jeff,” “Johnson,” etc. It looks like the leftovers from a Stalin picnic. You see these are the parties who tried and failed, and the guy sitting on the stump is thinking that in spite of all this maybe he can get lucky, and if the simple truth were known he is also thinking about the gate and how much he is going to get. Well, it is plain to see that when we finally get one of those old champions back in the king-row the cartoonists will have to get themselves another immortal canvas, and I dare say this will hit them mighty hard. “The Thinker” has practically been their lifelong companion. I'm surprised they didn’t take out insurance on him.

Joe DiMaggio Waits Bid for Salary Talk

| Wants to Get It Over With, Says Slugger; May Ask As High as $35,000.

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Jan. 18.—Joe Di Maggio, the 23-year-old Italian from Fishermans Wharf, San Francisco, who blazed his way to major league

stardom in two years, awaited a summons today from the New York Yankees for a conference on his | 1938 salary. i DiMaggio, here from the West | for a round of festivities and ban- . quets, said last night that negotiations concerning his contract must be opened by the Yankees. | “I'd like to have the contract set tled right now,” DiMaggio said, “but I won't make a move until I hear from the Yankees.”

The tall, black-haired outfielder emphatically denied reports that he had signed a contract at $25,000 last July, and added that he himself hadn't made up his mind the exact sum he intended to ask for. His answers indicated, however, that he has in mind a figure somewhere between $30,000 and $35,000. “Would $35,000 be too high, Joe?" he was asked. “What's the matter with $35,0002" he responded. “That's a nice figure.”

DiMaggio, who has been named “the player of the year” by the New York Chapter of the Baseball Writers’ Association, drew $8500 in his first year, 1936, and then collected $15,000 last year. He las plenty of evidence to back up his demands for a big increase.

Except for a short time after the start of the second half, when Tech scored three field goals to make the score 21 to 18, Taylor kept a safe lead. Stuart, Taylor forward, was high point man with 15.

Marvin Hook Lost To Tech Cagers

Marvin Hook, peppery little floore guard and spark plug of the Teche nical High School team, will be on the sidelines for an indefinite period, it was learned today. Hook received an ankle injury during the Tech-Shortridge game Saturday; Coach Bayne D. Freeman is une certain as to who will replace Hook, but Jim Evans seems to be the most likely choice. An offensive drill was on the proe gram today for the East Side squad as Coach Freeman sought to iron out the rough edges in the Big Green attack in time for the North Central Conference tilt at Lafayette Friday.
