POWELL, ROONEY GO FOR GOALS

ISCONSIN is pleased with its Big Ten basketball record during the first semester schedule and hopes to retain a place in the first division down the stretch. ... Experts did not regard the Badgers as a threat in their preseason observations, but with three victories in five starts the Madison team has served notice it is no weakling. 2 The Wisconsin squad owes its first division position in the race to a nicely balanced attack and defense, in which Hod Powell and George (Irish) Rooney, forwards, have been potent factors. . . . Every member of the regular starting five has played smart, hard driving basketball, according to Coach Harold Foster, but these Badger forwards, as a pair, are among the best in the Conference. Scoring statistics bear out this contention. . . . They show Powell with 55 points in five games and Rooney right behind his teammate with 54 markers. . . . Powell is tied with Ernie Andres of Indiana for third high score

honors in the Big Ten.

The two setbacks on the Wisconsin record were chalked by the Wildcats and Purdue, the two top teams.

Farr Likely To Be Carded

Against Baer

Jimmy Adamick May Land Spot if Welshman Won’t Face Max.

By LESLIE AVERY United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Jan. 31 (U. P.).—The complicated heavyweight situation in which three former champions were

simplified somewhat today with the retirement of ex-titleholder James J. Braddock.

The decision of the 32-year-old Jersey Irishman to forsake boxing left Max Schmeling of Germany and Maxie Baer of California the only former champions gunning for the crown now worn by Joe Louis. Because of Jersey Jim's upset victory over Tommy Farr, British titleholder, 10 days ago, he was an integral part of the complex heavyweight picture and was assured of a $40,000 to $50,000 purse for fighting Farr in a return match. With Braddock stepping aside, however, the way was left open for promoter Mike Jacobs to sign Farr with Baer. The Irishman had refused to meet Maxie again. “I am going to try and match Farr and Baer for March 11,” Jacobs said. “If they will fight, I'll give the winner a shot at Joe Louis before Joe fights Max Schmeling this summer.” Jacobs indicated if Farr, who already holds a decision over Baer, did not want the match, he would attempt to get Jimmy Adamick, Detroit's semsational young slugger, for the spot. The unexpected retirement of Braddock closed one of pugilism’s most romantic chapters. James J. brought to life a true Horatio Aleer character when he stepped from the New Jersey relief roles to wrest the title from Baer in June 1935. In a statement to the press, Braddock said: Expresses His Thanks

“I am retiring from the ring. “I have won my ‘last fight, and I think I still could beat most of the outstanding contenders for the heavyweight championship, but I have spent 15 years in the game and in fairness to everyone, es-

pecially to my wife and children, I believe it is time for me to withdraw, “This decision was not easily reached, but in making it I had the advice and support of my manager and friend, Joe Gould. I take this opportunity to thank those who have been so thoughtful of me in my long career — the fight fans, without whose support I could not have succeeded, the boxing commissions of New York and other states, and the newspapers. “My retirement from the ring does not mean the end of my association with Joe Gould. I will be as helpful to him as I can in the management of other boxers, and he and I will engage in another business enterprise which will be announced shortly.”

Jim Now Well Fixed

Braddock’s reference to “another business enterprise” was believed to mean he will open a restaurant patterned after Jack Dempsey’s successful establishment. Although Jim only fought twice after winning the title from Baer, he is well fixed financially and insured against ever having to apply for charity again. For being knocked out in the eighth round by Louis at Chicago last summer, he received nearly $300,000, and for beating Tommy Farr he added about $20,000. Vaudeville and refereeing after he won the title also boosted his bank account. Those who saw Braddock stage a comeback in the final two rounds io get the nod over Farr were convinced his legs would not carry him through many more such battles. Even his most ardent admirers considered him wise to have hung up his gloves while the victory cheers still ring in his ears.

Schmeling Calm In Foord Victory

HAMBURG, Germany, Jan. 31 (U. P.).—Max Schmeling, No. 1 challenger for the world’s heavyweight championship, started plans today for a third tuneup bout before he meets Joe Louis for the title next June. " Max, hopeful of becoming the first man ever to regain the heavy crown, scored a 12-round decision over Ben Foord, South African and former British Empire titleholder, before a~crowd of 26,000 here yesterday. Except for a small cut under his right eye, and a sprained right thumb, the Germantemerged from the bout undamaged. “I want one more fight before 1 meet Louis,” Schmeling said, “but who it will be and where we will fight is up to Mike Jacobs.” Despite Max's failure to put Foord on the floor, critics agreed he looked like a first-rate heavyweight. He was calm throughout, carefully measuring his opponent, and letting his pile-driver right go when the opportunity afforded. Foord’s youth and heart were credited with keeping him off the canvas.

Irish to Name New Captain

Tackle Alec Shellog Resigns Post, Leaves School.

SOUTH BEND, Jan. 31.—Elmer Layden, director of athletics at Notre Dame, will call a meeting of

football lettermen shortly and a new captain will be elected for the 1938 Irish eleven. Joe Beinor, left tackle, and Earl Brown, left end, are linemen who appear to be outstanding candidates while Mario Tonelli and Ed Simonich are the leading backfield possibilities. Alec Shellog, right tackle, who was named some time ago to lead the 1938 team, resigned the captaincy and withdrew from the university Saturday. It is understood that disciplinary action brought about Shellog’s decision. He was a junior and was considered a vital part in next fall’s machine, The disciplinary breech which brought about Shellog’s withdrawal is said to have affected his brother, Fred, a substitute tackle, also. If he so chooses, Alec Shellog may re-enter school next September but | he will not be eligible to play foot- | ball this year. He resides at New Castle, Pa. Notre Dame officials adhered to the traditional policy of withholding comment in such cases.

Local high school netmen turned today to this week's schedule of 13 games, boasting a record of seven victories and six losses during last week's play. Saturday night saw Shortridge, Tech and Sacred Heart winning while Manual and Broad Ripple lost. . A big Shortridge goal rush in the third quarter gave the Blue Devils a 29-to-21 decision over Rushville at the Shortridge gym. Leading, 24 to 12, at the start of the fourth period, Shortridge was content to drift through the final minutes, beating back the late Lion assault. Tech led free-shooting Connersville throughout a slow game on the East Side floor. Featuring the game was a fist fight which came with two minutes left to play and the invading Spartans in the middle of a hot rally.,, Howard Bailey, Connersville forward, and Ray Holland, Tech guard, mixed in a brief melee in front of the scorer’s bench. Officials Nate Kaufmann and George Fisher broke up the impromptu bout and banished both men, after which Tech pulled away to a 22-to-17 conquest. Sacred Heart Wins Sacred Heart produced the third local victory and avenged an early season loss by whipping St. Paul's of Marion, 30 to 22 at Cathedral. Paul Bauer, local forward, again galloped away with starring honors, tossing seven field goals for Coach John Sullivan’s winners and playing a fine floor game. Broad Ripple’s Rockets bowed, 48 to 23, to Beech Groves big height advantage and swift attack at Beech Grove. Broad Ripple fell behind early in the game and never was nearer the Hornets than two points, getting this close in the second quarter. Luke Spangler, Johnny Schnitzuiz and Jack Akers, scoring “Big Three” of the Hornets, tallied all but four of their team’s total points. Accuracy at the free throw line gave Brownsburg a 29-10-27 decision over Manual on the latter's floor. Coach Oral Bridgfords Redskins stayed a step in front of the visitors through the first three periods but couldn’t ward off Brownsburg's closing spurt, climaxed by two lastminute free throws which decided the game.
