M’MICHAEL BOLSTERS LEADERS
BUT PURDUE REMAINS CHOICE
ORTHWESTERN'S chances of holding first place during the remainder of the Big Ten race are enhanced by the return to form of Mike McMichael, veteran forward. « « + He played his first full game against Michigan on Jan. 22 and collected four field goals. . . . McMichael has been the leading scorer on the Wildcats’ team for two years and finished second in the Western Conference individual race both seasons. With McMichael available, the Cats have three forwards to handle the basket tossing. « .. Fred Trenkle and Jean Smith, along with Jake Nagode, center, have carried the brunt of the offense so far. ... Vance, Davis, Currie and Voigts are the guards and they have turned in a fancy job. = tJ ” on n o URDUE'S Boilermakers solved the Northwestern situation for the Wildcats’ only Big Ten setback and Indiana all but beat Coach Lonborg’s league leaders in a battle which went overtime. . . + And both Hoosier teams get a second crack at the Purple. . .. Michigan lost to the Cats by a single point ard probably will be the favorite when the rivals meet on the Wolverines’ floor. Purdue trounced Northwestern in rather handy style and the championship is likely to be decided at their next meeting in February. ... At any rate, the Boilermakers will be picked to duplicate the feat if they come up to the encounter with all regulars in form. ... Ward Lambert's West Lafayette hardwood pastimers continue to rule a slight favorite against the field for the 1938 crown.

Johnny Wooden, former Purdue ace, says he's going to retire from professional basketball after this season. . . . He's high school coach at South Bend. . . . A pro game played in Milwaukee recently attracted a crowd of 8500, which is a record for the paid performers in the Cream City. Wibs Kautz, Loyola University high scorer, is nursing a severe shoulder injury received in the DePaul game last week. .. . No matter who the Chicago Maroons can't beat, the Midway team has what it takes to knock off Lovola. . . . For the second successive year the Maroons subdued the Ramblers and by a decisive score.

OHN TOWNSEND, who last year placed high in the Big Ten scoring race with 121 points, continues to lead Wolverine cage scorers with 61 points in six Conference games. . . . He scored 77 points in seven pre-Conference games. Michigan's Varsity, by virtue of its win from Ohio State Monday, holds undisputed third place in the Big Ten behind Northwestern, with five wins and one loss, and Purdue, with three wins and a single loss. . . . Michigan has defeated Ohio State twice, Illinois and Minnesota lost to Wisconsin and Northwestern. . Michigan has scored 202 points to rank below the scoring leaders, but continues to maintain its standing as the strongest defensive team, having allowed but 176 points in six games for an average of 29% points a game, 2 8 8 ” 2 »
HE old “X” will mark the spot on the jersey worn by Dave Quabius, Marquette University basketball guard, if his teammates have anything to say about it. . .. Quabius has been taking a gentle “ribbing” from the varsity men since a Michigan State player cleverly bounced the ball off his back and scored a basket on an out-of-bounds play. Bill Waldrip, who is little more than five feet tall, has averaged 14 points a game for Charleston Teachers College in Little Nineteen Conference games this season. , , . He specializes in a one-handed shot to overcome lack of height.

State high school basketball promises considerable excitement tonight with three big games pointing toward possible breaks in tiedup conferences. In addition the Wabash Valley vournament, with eight of the 16 entries eliminated during the day, swings into the second round. The Kokomo Cats face trouble if they don't get past the challenging Richmond quintet and Marion tomorrow. Muncie, the bearcat of the Big Ten, expects an easy hurdle in Tech of Indianapolis, and is in top position to sweep to the title if the Cats fail to recover from their recent losing streak. Frankfort at Anderson, Lafayette at Marion, and Logansport at Newcastle complete the week-end North Central schedule. y The other decisive battle pits Coach Kessler's Hammond Wildcats against Whiting. Tied in the Western Division with Emerson at eight victories and two losses apiece, the Wildcats face the jinx of getting caught by another upset just as they have gained the top. In the southeastern corner of the state the New Albany Bulldogs go after their sixth Southern Conference victory against Bosse of Evansville. A victory would tie them with Sullivan, leader of the league and one of the current favorites in the Wabash tourney. Last week's loss to Bloomington, and their quick recovery against Salem indicate the

‘Dear Indianapolis Ladies,’ Says Joe, ‘I Did Not Mean to Sully Our Flag!’
By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Jan, 28.—It seems that the good ladies in Indianapolis do not go for me in a big way, as witness the following letter: ... “We are a group of clubwomen and reading what you said about Mr. Jim Braddock in The Times was not to our liking. You seem to know very little. We demand that you make an apology for the disrespect cast upon an American citizen or we will call on

Another battle holds southern interest as Jasper plays a return game against Huntingburg. The Hunters won the first, 33 to 23, but since then Jasper has walked away with all but one of its games and crashed through to take the Vincennes tourney. The Hunters have kept happy, winning 15 of their 16 games this season. The Central Conference has two
Rochester, ranking in that order, go into action against Wabash and Peru. Rochester meets Peru tonight and Wabash challenges the Blue Devils, who have won six and lost one, tomorrow. The big Elkhart Blue Blazers, on top in the eastern division, will try to extend their undefeated league record of five games tonight at Nappanee and Central of South Bend, in second place, meets Mishawaka. The Blazers, established as one of the best quintets in the north, have lost only one game this season—a 26-25 upset to Warsaw. La Portes Slicers, also among the topnotchers, is host to Michigan City.
Martinsville vs. Bedford
The Northeastern Conference, is comparatively quiet. South Side of Ft. Wayne, the leader, plays nonconference Elwood tonight in a “preather,” but the North Siders, a game behind the southern crew with three straight wins, will draw their rifles on Central in an old city feud. The South Central loop is inactive, with Martinsville, boasting a seven-game undefeated standing, meeting Bedford, the toughest opponent on their schedule. The Stonecutters won the first game, 18 to 17, and expect to find the Artesians tougher on the home floor. Favored to come through in the Wabash roundup are Plainville, the defending champs, who meet a great team from Oblong, Ill, in their first game; Wiley of Terre Haute, which starts against Rockville, and Sullivan, which takes the floor against Freelandville at 9 o'clock.

the editor, ‘We were pleased that Mr. Braddock won the fight. This shows you don’t know everything. If you can't boost an American, at least don’t knock. Let the money stay in America, and let Mr. Farr stay in his own country. You say Mr. Braddock is a shop-worn veteran. We believe you are a shop-worn veteran and bum writer besides. «Mr. Braddock is a good father and husband. Mr. Farr is not, so we will stick to our own nation, good old America. Suppose you do likewise or quit writing for The Times. With no respect for you, because you cannot be an American yourself, we are a group of Indianapolis ladies who try°to have a nice club where we talk things over. We wish you would do the same.” The writer is very sorry he offended the dear ladies of Indianapolis and he wishes to assure them he did not intend to belittle Mr. Braddock's many virtues or to trample on the flag, and he hopes the next time he is in Indianapolis he may be invited to the club where he can talk things over and perhaps tell a few nifties.
Now It Can Be Told
This is an up to now untold story of a football game—and I hope you'll overlook the unseasonableness of the topic. It has to do with the game which introduced Red Grange to the East, the game between Illinois and Pennsylvania in 1925. Illinois won, 24 to 2. There was an interesting sidelight in the press box that day. Laurence Stallings, distinguished author of “What Price Glory” and other notable pieces, was doing a feature story on the game for the old Morning world. Stallings had served with the Marines at the front and had come back from the hell pits a cripple for life. Grange's exploits on the gridiron that year and the year before had captured Mr. Stallings’ fancy. And he had gone slightly mad. over the illustrious redhead. He made a wild bet with one of the Pulitzers that Grange would score a touchdown the first time he got his hands on the ball—and won the bet. Grange scored three touchdowns that day, advanced the ball to the one-yard line on the way to a fourth, handed the ball to a teammate and said, “Take it over, I'm tired.”

Mr. Stallings, who had tossed off epic pieces on the World War as a matter of routine duty, found the assignment of writing about a com=paratively innocuous football game too much for him. He fussed around with half a dozen leads after thrilling to his idol’s performances and then gave up. , . . “The story’s too big,” he said. “I just can't write it.” And with that he lapsed into a happy delirium, After all these years, along comes Mr. Lawson Robertson in a letter to this department and turns the golden glitter of the redhead’s oneman show into tinfoil. . . . “Here’s something about the game that has never been printed,” writes the celebrated Olympic coach and Pennsylvania trainer. “It rained practically every Saturday that season. The week before the Illinois game we played Chicago in the rain and won, 7-0. After the game, one of the student managers threw all the football shoes into a drying machine and the shoes were ruined. “As a result, we had to order new mud cleats for the following weekend, which was to see us meet Illinois—and Grange—for the first time. Well, it rained for this one, too, and the new mud cleats were used. A few minutes before game time, Charlie Rogers, one of our halfbacks, came to me and said, ‘The cleats on my shoes came off. What'll I do?’ There was nothing to do but have him wear his dry field shoes. “Grange ran wild at the start, but our tacklers couldn't stand up; when they tried to bring him down they slipped and went sprawling on their faces. Pretty soon, in a time out, three other Penn men, Al Leath, another back; Joe Wilson, a tackle, and Bill Robinson, backer-up at center, came over and changed their shoes. The mud cleats had come off. After that, neither Illinois nor Grange looked so hot. “What happened was this: The manufacturer had run out of heavy weather shoes, had taken the regulation type and tacked on some make-shift cleats. This would have been all right, but the tacking wasn't secure, and all the cleats came off. You can imagine trying to bring down a ball carrier on a wet field {in dancing pumps—any

kind of a ball carrier, let alone Grange. That's what the Penn boys were trying to do that afte ernoon, “We couldn't publish this at the time. It would have sounded like an alibi. But that's the real inside story and it explains how Grange looked so good.” . . . This department trusts Mr. Stallings will be able to bear up under this brutal exposure of his football god.

Butler Invades Michigan; Earlham in Ohio.
Interstate battles feature the college cage card this week-end with Butler's invasion of Michigan providing the toughest resistance. Coach Tony Hinkle’'s Bulldog squad left yesterday afternoon for the first tangle tonight with Michigan State at East Lansing. Missing from the regulars are Bill Merrill, pivot man, who is ill, and George Perry, out for the season with injuries. Tomorrow Butler continues to Detroit to meet Detroit University. Little Concordia College also visits Michigan tomorrow night for a game with Battle Creek College at Battle Creek. Kalamazoo College comes down to Valparaiso for another interstate tilt. Earlham and Franklin travel into Ohio for their week-end games. The Quakers meet Wittenberg and Fanklin goes on to the Akron court with Akron University, The Eastern Illinois Teachers bring opposition from the West when they come
to Danville for Central Normal's second tussle of the week. The standout battle in the state conference tonight is Indiana Cene tral at Huntington. Although Hunte ington is expected to give little op= position, an upset is possible and the Greyhounds, next to the top of the league, can afford no chances of being toppled. Last night Central Normal took another victory in the Indiana Cone ference by defeating Oakland City, 42 to 24. Playing with the reserves most of the game, Normal was kept on even terms, being ahead, 20 to 17, at the half. In the last 10 minutes, the regulars came in and coasted through for an easy win. Cent.
