IRING will be resumed on the Big Ten front tonight and the battlegrounds will be at Ohio State, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Chicago. . . . Invading forces will be Purdue, Illinois, Northwestern and lowa. . . . The fact that the co-leaders, Purdue and Northwestern, will see action on different courts adds importance to the night's shooting matches. . . . The Boilermakers tackle the Bucks at Columbus and the Wildcats venture into the Badgers’ home territory. . . . Tough assignments, both. Illinois is at Minneapolis and Iowa goes to the Midway. . . » The Maroons, loser of five in a row, forced Ohio State to extend itself recently and may trip the Hawkeyes. EJ ” 2 on ” ” MICHIGAN is scheduled in a non-Conference date tonight at Michigan State. . . . Indiana also takes leave from the Big Ten grind and goes to Jeffersonville to tackle Louisville U. in a special attraction. Jeffersonville is planning a gala celebration for the occasion. . . . The reason is the first home appearance of Bill Johnson and Ernie Andres since they starred on the great Jeff High School five which won every game until the finale of the state tournament in 1935. Andres and Johnson have been leading the Hoosier scorers this year and the latter is completely recovered from a lip infection which slowed him down last month... . He flashed old-time form against Wisconsin to tally 15
points. u ” o s ” ”
NDIANA'S next appearance in the Big Ten competition will be against Northwestern at Evanston on Feb. 19. . . . And on the same date Purdue will be at Wisconsin. . . . Indiana's other Conference games: Feb. 21, Minnesota at Bloomington; Feb. 26, Purdue at Bloomington; Feb. 28, Wisconsin at Madison; March 4, Illinois at Champaign. Purdue finishes as follows: At Ohio State tonight; Feb. 19, at Wisconsin; Feb. 21, Ohio State at West Lafayette; Feb. 26, at Indiana; Feb. 28, Chicago at West Lafayette; March 5, at Northwestern. Jay McCreary, Indiana sophomore from Frankfort who moved _ up to a starting berth after Jim Birr was ruled ineligible, is short on size but is speedy and a better-than-average shot. 2 5 =» : @ ow UTLER has all it can handle tonight and Monday. . . . First, tonight against the Marquette Hilltoppers and on Monday against Notre Dame, both on the local hardwood. . . . You can’t pick ’em any tougher and the Bulldogs are to be congratulated on bringing the major attractions to Indianapolis. Followers of Notre Dame are organizing to turn out in large numbers in an effort to match Butler's rooting force and the Irish will not be short of support. . . . The contest promises to produce a real show and Indianapolis sports goers are expected to be there with bells on to enjoy the excitement. ” » on on n ”
HE chances of any of Minnesota's Gophers reaching the select 100-point circle in the Big Ten this year are not exactly bright. . .. Johnny Kundla, who topped the 100-point mark a year ago at 106, has the best chance but he will have to increase his pace if he is to do it again, for at the halfway mark in the 12-game schedule he leads the Gophers squad with 45 points. Gordon Addington, who tallied 99 points last season, has little chance of making the grade this trip for he has but 34 points in six games. . . . Paul Maki also has 34 points. . . . He was a reserve during the 1937 campaign. 8 » » 2 ” ”

The Indians pointed out that the official was employed by the same firm for which Coach Nibs Price of the Bears is working. Wisconsin has lost 14 consecutive games on the road over a span of three years. . . . Last “away” victory was bagged in January, 1936. . . . A new scoring ace has turned up in the East. . . .

HARRY COOLER TAKES STATE BILLIARD TITLE
Harry Cooler today reigned as state three-cushion billiard champion by virtue of his 150-t0-139 decision over Philip Greenberger in their play-off match for the crown, Cooler succeeds Neal Jones, who won the title a year ago. Greenberger, making his first serious championship bid, won the final 50-point block last night, 53 to 50, but the 14-point margin Cooler had piled up in the first two blocks was too great a handicap for Greenberger to overcome. The final block went 120 innings as both men were content to play carefully. Cooler forced Greenberger into the playoff by defeating him last week in the final match of a roundrobin tournament, each man ending the round-robin play with a record of seven victories and two losses, \ "
EXTRA NIGHT ADDED FOR GOLDEN GLOVES
Next Friday and and Saturday Required for Windup of Big Amateur Boxing Show Here
35 Eliminated in Series of Furious Bouts at Third Offering |
But Many Entries Still Remain; Upset Scored in Heavy Ranks.
By EDDIE ASH Times-Legion Golden Glovers continued a slambang, blistering pace at the Armory last night in the third series of tournament competition and 35 lads fell by the wayside during the continuation of the
eliminations.
Twenty-five bouts went to a decision, four. were decided by knock-
outs, four by technical knockouts and
two by default.
The hail was filled to capacity and in the majority of matches the
action kept the fans’ eyes glued on ®=
the ring as the amateur leather throwers stepped under the lights and battled for keeps. On a whole, the entertainment kept step with the quality of the two previous shows and proved again that the young mitt tossers have come to this year’s tournament better trained and better conditioned than in any of the five other Indianapolis Golden Gloves attractions. In fact, the shrinkage which usually occurs in amateur boxing tournaments has set a new low this year and very few of the boys have failed to pass the rigid physical examinations.
Problem for Officials
As a result, four nights will not reduce the field to finals in all eight weight divisions of both the Open and Novice classes and Times-Le-gion tournament officials have a problem on their hands. The only solution is a fifth night of boxing, and the tournament finals, therefore, will be staged at the Armory next Saturday night after more preliminaries and semifinals are run off next Friday night. The National Guard Armory has no openings for boxing next week excepting Saturday, and it was deemed unwise to postpone the title battles later than Feb. 19 because the eight champions in the Open class will require a week’s training to prepare for competition in the Chicago Tribune's Tournament of Golden Gloves Champions on Feb. 28 and March 1 and 2.’ And it is the rule to have the boys in Chicago one night in advance of the weigh-in and physical examinations for the Tournament of Champions to give them a long rest in strange surroundings. Golden Gleves tourney goers who already have purchased tickets for the original No. 4 show and who desire to exchanger same for the new No. 5 show will have that privilege early next week. However there are so many boxers of high caliber still in the running it’s a safe guess that next Friday's program will be as entertaining as the three previous glovefests at the Armory. Sprawls in Resin
High light of last night's carnival of fists was the sensational knockout of big Russ Bennett of the Richmond Community Club by Eric Stone of the North Indianapolis Community Club. It was an Open heavyweight bout and Bennett, a prime favorite in the division, was sprawled on his face in the resin and counted out in 17% seconds. The quick knockout probably was taken in stride by the large crowd, but to persons closely connected with amateur boxing in Indiana, it was a startling upset. Bennett is a seasoned boxer and on past performances looked like a cinch to reach the finals before the dynamite struck him down. The big fellows touched gloves, Stone led with a left and as Benneit started a left hook to the body in return Eric whipped over a blazing righthander which scored a direct hit on Russ’ chin. The courageous Bennett tried hard to beat the count but paralysis had him down and he was stiffened as the count reached ten. It was a semifinal bout. In the other semifinal of the Open heavyweight division Peter Bell of the Monoghan-Wallace Gym flattened Karl Brauer of the Hoosier Athletic Club in the third round with a right to the chin.
Parks Righthander
It was a bruising battle, and while Bell had the edge in the early fighting, Brauer rallied in the first minute of the third round and threatened to turn the tables. He stood toe to toe and plunged in for an advantage, but Bell finally caught him near the ropes and parked a righthanded knockout. The Hoosier A. C. entry was given a fine hand by the fans for his sterling effort. Other knockouts were turned in by Roy Trautman, Lauters’ Boys’ Club, over Bob Young, Oliver A. C., and by Tom Clark, Richmond, over Victor Hutton, Anderson. Clark and Hutton waged a free-swinging encounter until a short, stiff punch by the former dimmed the lights on the Anderson boy. Technical knockouts: Larry Sparks over Jack Berry, third round; Bud Cottey over Jimmy McGill, second round; Sam Haslett over Marshall Avery, second round; Herbert Brown over Tom Woods, second round.
