Jeffersonville’s Red Devils went back to their home on the shores of the Ohic today with considerable respect for the central Indiana brand of basketball as played by Coach Buck Plunkett's scrappy Southport Cardinals. Coach Frank Barnes brought his team north to Southport last night and saw the Red Devils barely nose out a hard-fighting Southport team, 27 to 25, with a sudden splurge of points in the final quarter. Southport outfought the invaders for three quarters and they started the last session all even, with 19 points apiece. After the Barnesmen had three field goals and two free throws in the first four minutes of the fourth quarter, Southport came back with a desperate drive that nearly lifted the Cards to an upset victory. With the scoreboard showing a minute to play, Johnny Williams climaxed the Cardinal try for victory with a long field goal from left center, but the horn halted the fray before Southport could again get possession of the ball. The first quarter was slow as -the teams felt each other out, Jeffersonville leading, 3 to 2, at the end of the period. In the second session, two baskets by Marvin Akers, a field goal by Ernie Fredricks and two free throws by Bob Raisor boosted the Red Devil total to 11 while two fielders by Ed Schinbien and free throws by Ed Shimer and Charley Wilson gave Southport nine points at the half.

Cardinals Grab Lead

At the start of the last half, a free throw by Wilson and Williams’ shot from beneath the basket shoved the Cardinals in front, 12 to 11. Fredricks got the lead back with a hit from the right side but Sam Hendershott connected from the same sector to push the Cards ahead, 14 to 13. Baskets by Akers and Raisor added six points for the visitors while two-pointers by Shimer and Schinbien and Hendershott’s free throw after a technical foul scored five points for Southport and sent the teams into the final eight minutes deadlocked at 19-all. Fredricks and Akers got field Boals and the Red Devils led, 23 to Ed Denton twisted his thy — Buddy Maschmeyer replaced him for Jeffersonville. Fredricks got a free throw and Raisor clinched the victory with a tipin shot as the Scoreleany showed five minutes to play. Schinbien Leads Scoring

A basket and a free throw apiece by Schinbien and Williams brought Southport within two points of Jeff before the game ended. Although Schinbien led the scoring with 11 points, the whole Southport team shared honors because of the alert defense the Cards threw up and because of their ability to shake men out in the open for set shots. Jeffersonville, with Raisor, Fredricks and Akers bearing the load, started slowly and never appeared to be moving smoothly until the last quarter, when the winning dash got under way. Summary: (27)

By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.—A]l Capone is back in the news. Cracked up in Alcatraz. Apparently a mental case. It wasn’t so long ago that Mr. Capone was quite a guy in the American scene. Back in the bootleg days he was the most lurid if not the most powerful figure of the period. I saw him only once. That was the night Willie Stribling did a stately minuet with Jack Sharkey in aristocratic Miami Beach. Mr. Capone had a ringside seat. He “8 AER was flanked on Williams either side by a numerous bodyguard. I spent more time studying Mr. Capone and his chums than the fight. This was discrimination rather than curiosity. It was the kind of fight that pained you to watch. Mr. Capone didn’t look as tough as might have been expected. He had a ready smile, seemed pleasant enough. But his chums were distinctly of the rat type gangster movies later brought to the screen. With so much protection, Mr. Capone probably could afford to feel satisfied with himself. Anyway, it was a grouping that made you wonder if the Adam and Eve incident really had contributed anything to civilization. That was the same spring Mr. Capone decided to go social and get himself some favorable publicity. He had a villa on one of the islands, so one night he held open house and invited all the fight writers to a party. He wanted to show them he was a regular gent. There were bathing beauties, dancing girls and popping corks: It was the biggest

College Baseball Far From Dead

Ever since I can remember I have

been hearing that college baseball is

dying. Well, the undertakers have had a long wait. Evans, coach of the University of California team, comes along with the announcement that 74 candidates have reported for what is called spring practice on the Coast. That's more than usually turn out for football at some of the bigger schools. Mr. George Weiss who runs the Yankee farm system, says there is nothing wrong with college baseball that intelligent exploitation won't cure. It is his contention that if the colleges turned their publicity departments loose on baseball as they do on football you'd hear no more lamentations about the sport dying. Perhaps this is true. there is little organized effort to publicize college baseball. And meantime the colleges are probably playing better baseball than at any other time in the history of the sport. This must be so because how else are you to account for the, intense interest organized baseball takes in the colleges these days? There was a time when a college player in professional baseball was considered a freak; now most of the major league teams are liberally supplied with collegiate material— and some of the current stars came direct from a college campus to a big league berth. The college baseball player doesn’t get the headlines—and as Mr. Weiss points out little effort is made to

create him. In any event it is a solid fact that no college baseballer ever comes out of school with the flaming prominence of a Red Grange, a Larry Kelley or a Mar-

{| shall Goldberg. And years later you

are reading of the heroic deeds of a Frankie Frisch, a Lou Gehrig or a Ted Lyons. The talent has been there all the time but the exploitation was missing.

Johnny Revolta Doing All Right

Johnny Revoita, the Italian with the Abraham Lincoln head of hair, seems to have recaptured the form that made him the most talked of young golfer of the 1935 winter

season. The farm boy from the Southwest is the leading money winner among the touring professionals, which means he is scoring well. Even better than Harry Cooper, who usually takes charge of these tours in the manner of a dictator. As a matter of fact Tooper’s scoring has been rather on the spotty side this winter, a surprising circumstance. For vears Cooper has been the most consistent shotmaker in the game, so consistent, in fact, that most of the critics were agreed he is the best golfer in the country despite the fact that he has never won a championship. But Cooper is too well grounded a player to tail off seriously and by the same token there is nothing extraordinary about Revolta’s present prominence. He was shooting in the 60's out in Illinois and Wisconsin before anybody ever heard of him in big time golf. He's a top-flighter in every sense and it’s probably only a matter of time before he wins the Open. You may recall he was good enough to win the P. G. A. three years ago, and that's no pushover.

Changes in Golf Course Studied

A plan which calls for the extension of the Riverside golf course was being considered by the Park Board today. Consideration of the plan was prompted hy the fact that the widening of White River in the local flood control plan would necessitate changes in the course.

The plan, submitted by Bill Diddel, prominent local golfer and course architect, would call for the course distance to be extended to 6625 yards. The present length is 6085 yards. Lengthening of the cburse would be possible by extending it to the south bank of Crooked Creek. The proposed plan also would decrease par and utilize old parts of the course. It would be possible to do the work this summer without interfering with use of the course. With the exception of old hole No. 1, the fairways would run north and south, thus eliminating sun glare. If the Park Board accepts the plan, Riverside golfers will be called in for a discussion in order to get the players’ suggestions and reactions, it was announced.

Adamick Is Eager To Tackle Thomas

DETROIT, Feb. 10 (U. P.).—Jimmy Adamick, stone-fisted Michigan heavyweight whose record shows 44 knockouts in 48 professional fights, today made preparations to leave for New York to meet Harry Thomio at Madison Square Garden Feb. 18. An injury to Tony Galento, New Jersey's bartending heavyweight, gave the midland mauler his big chance. Galento had been contragjed by Promoter Mike Jacobs to meet Thomas but he withdrew from the fight. He said he had not recovered from an injury suffered when he knocked out Charley Massera recently.

Governor Victor in Fight With O'Hara

PROVIDENCE, R. I, Feb. 10 (U. P.).—Governor Quinn was the

victor today in a long battle to oust Walter E. O'Hara, former Providence publisher, from.control of the Narragansett Park race track. O'Hara resigned as the $75,000-a-year president and managing director of the track under an agreement whereby ne wil: receive $25,000 for releasing the Narragansett Racing Association, Inc. from its contract with him, which was to have continued until June, 1941. It was the end of the QuinnO'Hara feud, which led the Governor last fall to proclaim martial law and send National Guardsmen to the track to prevent O'Hara from opening the fall meet. O'Hara built the track, one of the finest in the country, four years ago. It is valued at $3,000,000.

Young Pro Leads Match Play Open

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10 (U. P.).

—Charles Congdon, young Tacoma, Wash. professional, today led the winter golf brigade into the second qualifying round of the $5000 San Francisco Match Play Open tournament. Congdon's 175 yesterday, played during a gale that swept the bay region, set the pace while big names of the tournament were glad to break 80. There were only 15 scores in the seventies among the 170 starters, and there were 35 pickups. Lawson Little, defending champion from San Francisco, was the only one to shade par for a nine. He started with a poor 42 but came blazing home in 34—one under par —to finish second to Congdon with a 76. Another .stroke hack at T7 were Jim Demaret, Houston, Tex.; Neil Christian, Yakima, Wash, and Johnny Revolta, Evanston, ml.

Crusher Casey To Appear Here

Indianapolis will be the first “stopping off” place in the Midwest for Steve (Crusher) Casey, 225, Irish wrestling star, when he appears at the Armory next Tuesday night. The “Crusher,” since coming to the United States two years ago, has confined all of his matches to the East and Canada. Casey, hailing from Sneem, County Kerry, Ireland, is credited with being undefeated in more than 100 mat battles, a score or more of them against title contenders. He has yet to lose a fall. He is publicized in the East as one of the best grapplers ever to visit these shores, and Jack Dempsey is quoted as ranking him “The best wrestler I have ever seen.” Although the “Crusher” has tossed Danno O'Mahoney, the matman who won the title from Jim Londos, Eastern critics say his “big test” comes Friday night in Boston where he tackles Louis Thesz, St. Louis. Thesz twice downed Everett Marshall. Promoter Lloyd Carter intends to send a formidable foe against the Irishman next Tuesday.

Cooler Holds Lead In Billiard Playoff

Harry Cooler today held a 100-to-86 lead over Phil Greenberger in their 150-point match for the state three-cushion billiard championship. The final 50-point block for the title will be played tomorrow night at Cooler’s parlor,

Cooler repeated his first-block vic-

tory last night, whipping Green-|8an

berger, 50 to 48, in the second block of their playoff for the championship. The match went 90 innings, Cooler rallying to win after Greenberger at one time held a 39-to-30 margin. Cooler won the first block, 50 to 38, in 61 innings Monday.

Pitt Goes on ‘Purity’ Basis

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 10 (U. P.)— The University of Pittsburgh today looked forward to an athletic future on a plane of “purity” equal to that occupied by the Ivy League and the Big Ten football conference. The school announced adoption of a strict new “code of athletic conduct,” patterned after athletic rules at Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Cornell in the East, and the Western Conference. At the same time, it was announced that the present alumni athletic council would be substituted March 1 by a committee of faculty members that will rule all sports in the future. One of the most important actions was tightening of eligibility requirements for athletes, The new provisions state that no student shall be eligible for membership on any team until he has completed “satisfactorily” one full year of scholastic work. Under the new code, a football player, or a member of the golf team, must take fullcredit courses and must be in good scholastic standing to “represent the school in intercollegiate athletics.” That the rules were patterned after those of the Ivy League and the Big Ten generally was considered another gesture by Pitt toward establishing football relations with schools of either one conference or the other. Under the new policy football practice may not begin before Sept. 10, and will be limited to two hours daily. Summer practice was abolished. When the team plays away from home, only 40 persons may make the trip at school expense— including players, coaches, trainers and other necessary personnel. Pitt seasons in the future will be limited to eight games, the first to be played not earlier than Oct. 1. The delay in start of scheduled play was expected to compensate for the delay in start of practice. The code prohibits coaches from writing for the “public prints” and from making radio addresses unless their “copy” is approved by the faculty committee. It was explained that publicity releases also will need approval, to “lessen undue emphasis upon athletics.”
