THREE TEAMS WAGE TORRID BATTLE FOR LEAD IN BIG 10
Purdue SI Slaps Wildcats From | Unbeaten List
Michigan Upset by Badgers; | Indiana Bows to lowa | In Closing Minutes.
GAMES SATURDAY:
Michigan at Northwestern, Ilinois at Ohio State. Loyola at Chicago.
By STEVE SNIDER United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Jan. 18.—The last undefeated team has fallen and the Big Ten basketball race turned into another typical dogfight today with Northwestern, Purdue and Michigan fighting each other for the lead. Despite its 37-to-26 licking at Purdue, Northwestern clung to its shaky margin at the top of the standings. But once more it was Purdue —- considered the hottest scoring team in the league—which moved into the title picture as both Northwestern and Michigan lost their first games, Purdue checked Northwestern's unexpected surge with ease. Time after time the much-slower Wildcats were caught flat-footed by Purdues racing offense which spotted its forwards under the basket for wide open shots, Michigan, surprised by Wisconsin, 39 to 30, meets Northwestern at Evanston, and Illinois travels to Ohio State in the only conference games Saturday. Outside the league, Chicago meets Loyola.
Illinois Also Bows
While the top teams were tightening their race, two others—Illinois and Indiana—lost their third games and virtually were counted out of the chase. Minnesota won the first game of its unsuccessful title defense at Illinois, 41 to 29, and Iowa stepped up into the first division by defeating Indiana, 36 to 32. It was Iowa's first victory at Bloomington since 1921. Y Purdue's offense began to click early in the game and after Northwestern had pulled into a tie at 5-all | it spurted suddenly and left the Wildcats trailing far behind as Jewell Young and Gene Anderson broke under the basket for easy shots. Young scored five field goals and six free throws for 18 points. Wisconsin solved Michigan's at-| tack by stopping Johnny Townsend. The rugged Michigan forward was bottled up so completely he failed to score a field goal until the closing minutes and wound up with only | one basket and two free throws. | Sievensn.t While the Badger defense was | Andres.g. hounding Townsend, forwards Hod | Coley. ¢ of Powell and George Rooney broke | through consistently and totaled 27) points between them.

Farr Ready For Braddock
Examination Shows Britisher in Great Shape.
SUMMIT, N. J, Jan. 18 (U, P.)— Tommy Farr, British heavyweight champion, began to taper off training today for his 10-round bout Friday night with the former world titleholder, Jimmy Braddock. Farr, who amazed fans by putting up a good battle against Joe Louis last summer, was pronounced in “excellent shape” yesterday by the New York Athletic Commission physician, Dr. William Walker. Dr. Walker warned the former Welsh miner, however, not to draw himself “too fine,” and Farr cut down his usual seven or eight rounds of sparring to four. Farr expects to rest today after his morning roadwork, and he will take only a light workout tomorrow. The Welshman ruled a 13-5 favorite.
He’s at Crossroads, Braddock Admits
POMPTON LAKES, N. J, Jan. 18 (U. P.).—James J. Braddock, former world heavyweight champion, admitted today that he he; reached the crossroads of his fistic career. Friday night he encounters Tommy Farr of Wales and on the outcome of that bout will depend Jimmy's future—if any—in the ring.
If he wins, Braddock hopes to fight at least once a month and per=haps get another shot at the championship he lost last summer to Joe Louis. If he loses—and he doesn’t think he will—Jimmy may hang up his gloves forever. But that will depend on how badly he is beaten. Braddock, training seriously here for more than a menth, said he doesn't need the money; that he hopes to keep on fighting as long as he can because he likes it. He felt like a “new man” today, and a recent workout with two sparring partners convinced experts that he is far from being through. His right hand carries a smack of authority and his left is long and sharp. Although 32 and entering his 12th year of prize-ring campaigning, Braddock looked like a young man—so young, in fact, that his handlers again are calling him “Young Jimmy.” Braddock said he weighed 197 pounds—a half pound less than he scaled for the Louis fight.

Q—What is the greatest number of consecutive winners ridden by a jockey? A—Twelve. At Nottingham, England, Oct. 2, 1933, Gordon Richards, one of England's greatest jockeys, rode Barnaby to victory in the fifth race and had no mount in the last race of the day. On Oct. 3 at Chepstow, Richards rode the entire card of six winners and the following day at the same course, he rode the first five winners on the card.
