Defense Being Stressed In Golden Gloves Camps

-With the third round of eliminations in The Times-Legion Golden Gloves tournament coming up at the Armory Friday night, the order in all training camps is to speed up the drills. Naturally, the competition becomes toucher as the tourney advances, and from now on in survivors will have to show the old courage and peak condition to make the grade. - A good offense is the best defense in the ring sport, but trainers have advised their boys to pay more attention to warding off blows. Running into punches was a common fault in the first two shows as certain boxers left themselves wide open as they tried for a haymaker. However, the youngsters seem to thrive on toe-to-toe battling and there probably will be more of it in large packages during the three remaining tourney sessions. It’s impossible to prevent the kids from throwing leather in their own way, once the bell sends them out there under the lights. : Drawings for Friday's bouts will be made after 6 p. m. after the weigh-in and physical examinations are completed in the late afternoon. Action in the ring is scheduled to get under way at 7:30 and boxing will be continuous for approximately three hours. : All of last year’s Open Class champions who did not turn professional or retire still are in the running and it’s a safe guess they are not going to be knocked off without a struggle. Reserved seat tickets for Friday's show’ are at Haag’s Claypool Hotel ‘drugstore. The price is $1 for ringside chairs and the first row in the balcony. General admission price this week is 50 cents and these tickets will go on sale at the Armory box office at 6 p. m.

Butler's Bulldog’s who handed Loyola of Chicago its 10th consecutive defeat, 43 to 39, there last night, took a short breath of recovery today and prepared to meet Franklin College tonight in an Indiana Conference game on the latter’s court.

Tied at Half Neither team at any time assumed

any considerable lead, the score be-

With three minutes to play in the final period, Loren Joseph, Butler center, tipped in a rebound, giving his team a lead it never relinquished. The Bulldogs are looking for their 15th consecutive conference triumph tonight. They already hold a 49-to-35 decision over the Grizzlies this season and have but three more loop tilts to compelte the defense cf their conference championship. They have met and defeated all remaining opponents once this season, including Franklin, DePauw ad Wabash. Knauff Injured Myron Knauff, Franklin regular guard, is expected to miss tonight's battle as the result of facial lacerations and a twisted knee received yesterday in an automobile accident on an icy campus drive. For the Grizzlies, Coach Roy Tillotson plans to start Leerkamp and Frazell, forwards; Capt. Reichert, center, and Duncan and Grese, guards.

Scoring Average Up

The local titleholders increased their offensive average against Loyola to 40 points per game for the season. Defensively, they have held their opponents to 36. Although Franklin is a ninthplace team and has won five of nine loop tilts, Coach Tony Hinkle expects the worst to happen in the Grizzlies’ “cheese-box” gym. Last year, the Hinklemen managed to eke out a 46-to-41 victory there. Summary of last night's game: Butler (43). Loyola (39).

Cardinals and Aces Ride to Victory

The Ball State and Evansville College basketball teams rode to victory over out-of-state foes in games last night. Ball State defeated Illinois:State Normal,*45-33, at Muncie, while Evansville swamped Louisville, 80-43. The Cardinals moved out in front, 4-3, early in the game and were never headed. Ashley, Ball State forward, bucketed eight field goals and a free throw for scoring honors, while Brandt, Illinois Normal guard, dropped in three fielders and three free tosses to pace the losers. Ball State held a 22-15 half-time margin. Wilfred Doerner, leading Indiana

Isn’t Too Old To Get Pennant Fever

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.—Even at 77 a pennant can still beckon a long, lean old gentleman in a blue serge and hard collar hiding weather-beaten

Connie Mack, manager of the Philadelphia Athletics, outbid nine other major league clubs for infielder Benny McCoy, prize

Commissioner K. M. Landis. Mack

was supposed to get McCoy from Detroit in a pre-emancipation trade. But he wants to build one more pennant-winner and even the “OI’ Jedge” couldn't sidetrack him. So yesterday McCoy finally signed with the Athletics—for a $45,000 bonus and a two-year contract at $10,000 a year.

Bids and counter-bids were met and topped until the zero hour arrived and even the others who sought" McCoy had to agree that his future would best be served by signing with the grand old man. With the young, hard-hitting McCoy to play second base, the Athletics have made one step toward the shimmering goal Mr. Mack seeks in the seer of his life. McCoy can hit and he can knit together an infield that creaked around the keystone sack last season. ;

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Jan. 30 (U. P.) —“Watch the dust” of the Philadelphia Athletics in 1941, manager Connie Mack told the first annual dinner of the Connecticut Sportswriters’ Association last night. ‘ “I don’t think our club is ready for the flag just yet,” Mack said. “But watch our dust in 1941.”

Three National League clubs—the Reds, Dodgers and Pirates—went the limit for McCoy but they would not go as far in cash or promises as Mr. Mack. They all had their chances but $45,000 and a two-year contract at $10,000 was too much for them. ; But it wasn’t too much for Mr.

Teachers at Southport High School showed last night that they know their stuff on the basketball floor as well as in the classroom. A team composed of Southport teachers scored a 35-34 victory over a squad picked from teachers at No. 9, Edgewood and Southport grade . schools. Doyal (Buck) Plunkitt, who tutors the Southport varsity, scored 11 points to lead the victors, while Bright of the losing

team bucketed 12 points.

Mack, who has his heart set .on another pennant even if he has to climb from seventh place. McCoy is his ideal of a second-baseman, a second “Eddie Collins” maybe. A fellow who can carry the middle burden and swing a lusty stick. Don’t Laugh Yet With McCoy in his camp, Mr. Mack’s club isn’t to be laughed off. He has punch in his outfield with Bob Johnson, Wally Moses and the up-and-coming Sam Chapman. Frank Hayes is the No. 2 catcher of the league behind Bill Dickey. Skeeter Newsome at short is a fielding marvel. Joe Gantenbein can handle third. First base is still a problem. The A’s pitching staff is a mystery. If Mr. Mack should come up with a couple of strong-arms pitchers, the A’s might create some fun around a circuit that’s always yelling “break up the Yankees.” The fact that a seventh-place American League club outbid all the National League clubs for McCoy brought a titter from baseball fans. The senior circuit is always yelling about its prestige but dollars speak louder than talk. And it’s a matter of record today that the first, third, fifth and sixth: place National League clubs couldn’t see their way clear to outbiding the lowly A’s. Due for Stardom Of course, this deal may be the forerunner of another transaction with Detroit buying Moses from | the A’s but that seems hardly likely since the Tigers have obtained the lefthanded hitting outfielder they wanted from Cleveland in Bruce Campbell.

Noblesville Bumped Around

| Denjed a taste of the winnings until they took two games in a four-team tourney, Noblesville brings a none-too-enviable record to the Irish goalery. The Noblesvilles have fallen before Shortridge, 35 to 19 and lost to Crawfordsville, 38 to 28. But Cathedral, too, has had an in-and-out season. - Among the games Friday Shortridge at Lebanon stands out as a potential. surpriser. The Tigers of Lebanon, you'll remember, were one of the leaders in the state early in the season. In their prized possessions is a 40-to-26 victory over Frankfort, which any Lebanon team card be proud of. Up Lebanon way,

If Shortridge could put one over on the Tigers, it would be a distinct boost to the Blue Devils’ prestige. On Saturday night Marion comes to Tech to.take over the local hardwood spotlight. Leaders of the North Central Conference, the Marion boys figure a victory over Tech would assure them of at least a part of the title—come what may. Murion has won nine and lost two in the conference, while the Big Green, foundering in the conference cellar, has won but one out of seven league engagements.

CHICAGO, Jan. 30 (U. P.).—Commissioner John L. Griffith revealed -

today that the University of Chicago, now the missing

Big Ten football roster, had led all

giving athletes the only forms of assistance which they are scholarships, loans and campus jobs. /

10th of the - iversities in permitted—

Western Conference u

He said reports submitted by the universities showed that Chicago had spent $34,550.50 on athletes during the school year 1938-39 and $41,393.40 during the 1937-38 term. Scholarships and Yempus Jobs -

constituted the largest portion of this assistance. Northwestern University ranked second each year with assistance worth $31,273.40 in 1938-39 and $30,423.40 /in 1£37-38. Northwestern’s assistance was given chiefly in the form of loans. Chicago withdrew from intercollegiate football in December by action of its trustees. After the withdrawal, a spokesman for the trustees was quoted as saying that the trustees had decided the university “could not continue to play Big Ten football and remain honest” and that the university could not hope to find suitable football material without resorting to subsidization.

: Only Two Victories Chicago lost six of its eight foofball games last year, defeating only Oberlin College and Wabash. The university, however, had presented a better record in other forms of intercollegiate ‘athletic competition and the trustees retained the Big Ten membership to permit continued participation in these sports. Griffith defended the total sum extended athletes in the 10 schools through scholarships with the ex-

planation that the percentage of

athletes holding scholarships was almost identical to the total male enrollment. “Probably nothing in intercollegiate athletics is so much discussed or has led to more misconceptions than the nature and propriety of financial assistance to the individual athlete by the university,” Griffith said. “The basic principle of the (Western) Conference is that the athlete is entitled to every consideration which might be accorded a non-athlete by the university, but nothing further. Leaders Are Endowed Schools

“Scholarships run highest in amounts at endowed schools where tuition is necessarily higher,” he said. . - Both Chicago and Northwestern are endowed schools. Chicago's scholarships to athletes totaled $17,891.60 in 1938-39 and $23,347.59 the previous term. Northwestern scholarships to athletes were worth $5525 last year and $4650 in 1937-38. The Northwestern athletes, however, received loans of $15,065 in 1938-39 and $17,660 in 1937-38. Total dollar value of assistance given athletes by other Big Ten schools during the 1938-39 term was: Iowa, $24,901.47; Michigan, $24,193.10; Illinois, $17,662.41; consin, $17,607.76; Indiana, $17,189.65; Purdue, $13,466; Ohio State, $7744.33, and Minnesota, $5908.67. Griffith said athletes had received 315 of the 4475 scholarships awarded Big Ten students, and last year 1145 athletes in the Big Ten held jobs, including NYA, board work and concessions, on the conference campuses. The reports reflected the estimate of a Big Ten university president that one-half the student bodies ‘enjoy some help from the school or are partially self-supporting,” Griffith said.

SAN JOSE, Cal., Jan. 30 (U. P.).— Dr. T. W. MacQuarrie, president of San Jose State College, said today that the Pacific Coast Conference’s recent adoption of an athletic code barring professionalism did not fool the public. “Everyone knows the big boys are after the money but they want to make a show of getting it ethically,” he wrote in the student newspaper. “They are after the money and they don’t want to use a cent of it in helping a young man get an education. Anyone who has the intelligence of the average citizen can see for himself that no man can work his way through college. do acceptable college work and play football | at the same time.”
