- EARL SANDE PREPS STAGEHAND;

POINTS ACE FOR DIXIE RACES

FTER a siege of illness, Earl Sande is back in action attending ' to the training of Maxwell Howard’s Stagehand at Columbia, S. C., where the 38-year-old champion has been quartered since the close of the Northern racing campaign. It is reported Stagehand looks as sharp as he ever has been. . . . Sande intends to ship him to Hialeah Park after the first week in January and there prepare the son of Sickle for the $50,000 Widener Handicap on March 4. :

A neighbor of Stagehand at Columbia is Charles S.

Howard's Seabiscuit, America’s handicap champion. ” ” 2 4 2 ” > HE Biscuit also is reported to be in fair condition in spite of reports to the contrary. . . . He will remain af Columbia until after announcement of the weights for the Widener late next week. Then Howard will decide whether he will run Seabiscuit in the $100,000 Santa Anita Handicap, for which he was assigned 134 pounds, or the Widener. Stagehand and Seabiscuit are not strangers. . .. They met in the Santa Anita Handicap last winter, with the 3-year-old, under only 100 pounds, gaining a sehsational nose victory over the iron-hearted son of Hard Tack, which packed 130 pounds that day. Stagehand is in this winter's Santa Anita at 128 pounds. . . . But Sande has decided to pass up the West Coast classic for the Widener. ” ”

style of play has been adopted by the boys from old I. U. They do it well. They proved iit last night at The scoré: Indiana, 46; Butler, 29. Although it wasn’t the most exciting basketball game on record it was interesting; mainly perhaps because of Indiana's new roaring offense. : Some 7000 of basketball’s faithful saw what was in the main a dull game, marred a trifle by overeager officiating. Half the evening, 3 seemed, was spent at the foul ine. ;

But when the whistles weren't blowing, Indiana was showing Butler a sample of the speed offense it hopes will carry it to a Big Ten championship. Indians does have speed and poured it on in flourishes under the basket. While the Crimson door work showed itself careless at times there certainly was nothing wrong with the boys’ aim—except for a couple of times under the basket when everybody decided to get a little sloppy about the whole thing. As usual, Butler's hero was little Jerry Steiner, who takes a terrific beating from bigger and heavier

Caviar is an expensive delicacy which most people believe comes

from the waters off the northern coast of Siberia. But it is quite possible that some of the caviar eaten in Indianapolis came right from the White, Ohio or Wabash Rivers or from Manitou, Tippecanoe or Maxinkuckee Lakes. :

This information is revealed in a newly published brochure, “The

But taking it on the whole, Butler was no match for Indiana. Tony Hinkle’s team might have been could it shoot fouls. The Blue missed 17 of them. Had they made

10, say, it might have been a different ball game. A little thing like that can sometimes put a lot of pep and confidence into a ball club. But Butler hasn’t been able to shoot fouls for heans all year and last night was no exception. Sour grapes are sour grapes and Christmas is certainly no time for that. Butler does have a good squad—a good little squad. It has speed, courage and drive. But Indiana is better. Much better. Piggy Lambert, the Purdue coach who sat in the stands said so, and he fears that Bloomington bunch. Butler’s aim was this way: 12 field goals out of 88 tries. Indiana did a little better with 15 out of 88. At the charity line, Butler made only five out of 22. Indiaha rang 16 out of 22.

(Editor's Note—Following is the fourth of a series of Big Ten basketball prospects.) :

By ERNEST BARCELLA United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Dec. 24--The Conference basketball needs of Wisconsin and Iowa are wrapped up in one little word—experience. Wisconsin is the more short-suited of the two in this particular re= quirement. The Badgers have only two men who have had a real fling at Big Ten competition. Iowa Ras five returning lettermen, but little if anything in the way of experienced reserves. But neither of the coaches is worrying too much about this shortcoming of their teams. Wisconsin's Bud Foster and Iowa's Rollie Williams both agree thal their teams are lkely to improve with work. . What the Badgers lack in experience, they hope to make up for in speed, defensive strength, aggressivenessy and heighi—16 players One Regular Back $ Only returning regular from ‘last year's Wisconsin team, which finished sixth with five victories and seven defeats—a full game behind Iowa—is guard Ernie Davis.

Captain and forward Ben Stephens and guard Erwin Prasse are the standouts among the returning letter winners who include forward Tom Lind and guards Bobb Hobbs and Fred Hohenhorst. The first string center job apparently has been clinched by Dick Evans, a reserve last year. Forward Angelo Anapol, center Jack O'Mahoney and guards Howard Irvine and Joe Murray are the most promising sophomores. Iowa will be satisfied if it can ‘match last year’s Conference record of six victories and six defeats.
