Steiner High-Scoring Guards Lead The March
Huffman, Aubuchon, Vaughn Join In
By JERRY BRONDFIELD : Times Special Writer :
The guards are running wild. That's the basketball story of the day as cage critics agree that this season’s crop of backcourt men is the greatest in years. - Probably the best explanation for this is that the game has speeded up so much that no coach can af-
their defensive ability alone. They've got to be able to pop that pill through the hoop like a forward or center. A dozen more are flashing All-America form, with two of the leading candidates ery much on the midget side. Bobby Moers, Texas’ master dribbler and ball Sern handler, is only : 5 feet 8 inches, Jerry Steiner but causes plenty of headaches. ' He's good for seven or eight points every game. Jerry Steiner, Butler captain and pacemaker, is an inch shorter, but has an amazing 15-point average. Recently against Loyola of Chicago he dropped in 20. Nifties of the Southwest are Pete Creasy, who is averaging eight points a game for Baylor, and Frank Carswell, Rice captain, who has an average better than 10. Gil Huffman, Tennessee captain and third of the great Indiana basketbail family, is the finest all-round guard in the South, but he isn’t quite the scorer that Layton Rouse of Kentucky is. Chet Aubuchon of Michigan State has attracted notices in every game he has played.
[Beretta Best in Big Ten
Fred Beretta of Purdue is the best guard in the Big Ten. Colorado has a slick number in Don Thurman. A prize sophomore is Loyola’s Lou
‘Possner, who has been hitting 10
and 12 points a game. Oklahoma A. & M. has a brilliant All-America candidate in Jess (Cab) Renick, Choctaw Indian lad who was third in Missouri Valley scoring last year and an all-league se-
{lection. Critics rate him one of the
most. colorful players in the country 4 The Coast lists Ken Davidson of Stanford. as an outstanding guard.
Vaughn's a Cinch
Among the forwards, Southern California's Raiph Vaughn is a cinch for All-America, with the other post wide open. The southpaw irom Hoosierland has been ‘a oneman show in every game. Fifteen points 1s a poor night. Not as fast or clever, but as consistent a scorer is Bill Hapac, Illinois’ 6-foot-2-inch captain, easily the leader in the Western Conference at his posivion. Banks McFadden, Clemson's football All-America, is making a great bid to repeat on the court by averaging better than 12 points. Si Lobello of Long Island leads the Metropolitan League in scoring, but has rivals in Moe Becker of Duquesne, Gus Broberg of Dartmouth, Jim Bennett of Cornell and Bobby Lewis of N. Y. U.
And More of the Same
Oklahoma offers Jimmy McNatt, a scat type who pops ‘em from all ¢ngles. John Adams of Arkansas has The Rocky Mountain sector has a couple of dead-eyes in Hoyt Brawner of Denver and Nick Watts of Utah, who have averages of 14. Oregon has fallen far short of its 1939 caliber when the Webfeet won the National Collegiate crown, but big John Dick is still the best scoring hand in the Pacific Northwest. Leading center candidates are virgil (Country) Wilkerson of Southern Methodist, who cages anywhere from 10 to 20 points a night; - Googe Prather, Alabama's brilliant shot-maker; Bob Calihan of Detroit, Jack Harvey of Colorado and George Glamack of North Carolina. They all made the bell ring.

‘3 (overtime
By J. E. O'BRIEN
Sonja Henie, the ice is yours. Our hockey Capitals wound up a tiring week of campaigning last night and won’t be recalled to the wars until they play the Barons again at Cleveland next Saturday. Sunday night they’ll be back home at the Coliseum against Hershey. The six-day rest may be just what the doctor ordered for Manager Herbie Lewis’ Western Division leaders. They looked weary last night in their 2-2 overtime battle with Cleveland’s Barons, and they admitted -s much in the dressing room. The Barons, who have yet to score a victory over the Capitals, were out for blood last night—there was no doubt about that. And the
Hoosiers 3-2 defeat at Hershey Sat- Jone urday night plus a quick trip home|
didn’t help matters any. Ross Nearly Has One
Our boys, however, were away fast against the Barons, Goalie Moe
Roberts had to fall on the puck to|“**" save Sandy Ross’ early long shot, |S
while Carl Liscombe and Don Dea-
con teamed up a minute later and nearly had a goal. Don missed Liscombe’s pass by inches to save the Barons. Alfie Moore, our talking mesh minder, made his first save after six minutes. That marked the first real invasion the Barons made. But they were still unable to tally after Deacon had been put in the penalty box on a board-checking charge. Indianapolis took the lead after 18 minutes and 22 seconds when Gus Giesebrecht fired a hard one past Roberts. Ron Hudson helped out on this one.
Blake Ties It Up
Early in the second period Roberts made a brilliant save of Deacon's shot, and .shortly afterward Cleveland came close when Bartholome’s shot hit the bar of the cage and bounced the wrong way. The game went into a 1-1 deadlock at 6:41 of this period when R. Blake fired the first Baron goal into the cage. In less than a minute, however, Les Douglas’ goal put the Hoosiers back on top. Douglas and Archie Wilder fought their way through the Jerwa-Adolph defense line to ring up this one, Then Goalie Moore had his hands busy as Messrs. Bartholome, Goldsworthy and Runge started a three-
way barrage at the Indianapolis|a .cage. Buck Jones told Alfie to move
over and both set themselves inside the crease.
A Bit Ha But. such tactics, according to
Refree Babe Dye, weren’t entirely legal, and Cleveland was awarded
a penalty shot, The Barons elected
Hansen to do the firing, but his shot was no good. Overanxious to score on the shorthanded Barons after Peggy O'Neil had been sent to jail, the Capitals let Hansen get away with the puck. Douglas saw him, though, and proceeded to drag him down from behind in the best gridiron manner. Goldsworthy failed to make this penalty shot. With Douglas in the penalty box, Manager Bud Cook used the same strategy that Lewis had shortly before and installed five forwards on the ice. The plan worked and on the Barons’ second attack against the five Indianapolis defenders, Hansen fired a long shot into the net. That tied the score, 2-2, and that’s how it stayed. Bush Out Again In one of the skirmishes Eddie Bush’s old injury was aggravated,
and the: Capitals’ defenseman had to leave the ice. It’s not certain
whether he will be available for the
locals games next week-end.
Between the first and second periods, a relay race between four four-man teams was run off, with the laurels going to the North Side Chevrolet squad. Skaters on this squad were Bill Fleming, Joe Rutledge, Erie Hay and John Kirby.

Big Net Tilt On in North
Mishawaka, South Bend In Feature Tonight
By UNITED PRESS Indiana’s major high school hardwood teams play 103 battles this week, 58 of them Friday night, but
out of the flock only two games|
emerge to help the fans select an outstanding sectional team. The first of these battles comes tonight when Mishawaka and South Bend Central, leaders in the Eastern Division, N. I. H. S. C., meet at Notre Dame Fieldhouse to determine league supremacy.
_ Hatchets vs. Artesians
The second scrap should do much to determine which team is outstanding in that territory below U. S. 40. It brings together the Washington Hatchets and the Martinsville Artesians on the Martinsville court Friday. Both teams havé been rated as outstanding southern contenders for the State crown and both have virtuaily similar records. Other contests wihch should prove interesting are New Castle at Anderson, Seymour at Connersville, Greenwood at Greensburg, and Mitchell at Huntingburg, all Friday, and Ft. Wayne South at Ft. Wayne
ve Central Saturday.
Anderson Gains Speed
The New Castle Trojans have been plagued with injuries since early in the season and may go over the hump this week while Anderson,
after a poor start, has been picking up speed rapidly. The Greenwood-Greensburg melee should get some study simply because Greenwood is one of the State’s few undefeated fives, whether hig or small. It has won. 15 straight contests. The Ft. Wayne South-Ft. Wayne Central clash ranks because of South’s record and also because any game which brings two Ft. Wayne teams on the same floor this season proses to be a struggle.
Super — On Deck in Golden Gloves
Indianapolis boxing fahs who got a bang out of watching the boys slam and sock in The Times-Legion Golden Gloves shows the past three weeks are advised that the fourth session coming up Friday « night promises to outdo the others in fistic fireworks.
The Open class will go on parade in a big way and the experienced
| lads will be supported as usual by
the Novices who get in there and throw leather with both hands and from all angles. The Open class has been cut to 32 eligibles and will be up for heavy duty in the Armory “punch bowl” Friday. Forty-nine lads remain in the Novice competition, for a total of 81. : Heavy Card Planned
It is planned to run off as many bouts as time will permit this week in an effort to lighten the last card on Feb. 16 and make every match a championship affair for the tournament finale, : All boxers remaining in the amateur classic lost no time getting down to business in their training quarters this week and instructors and trainers called for speed-up drills at all clubs. The survivors know they are going to face their hardest tests as the event advances. The weigh-in and physical examinations will be held at the Armory Friday afternoon between 2 and 5 o’clock. Drawings for the night’s bouts will be made and. posted shortly after 6 p. m.
Tickets on Sale Reserved seat tickets for Friday are on sale at Haag’s Claypool Hotel
ringside chairs and the first row in the balcony. General admission tickets, at 50 cents, will not be sold until Friday night at the Armory box office. Tournament attendance increased to near-capacity last week, and with a fair break in weather the fourth show may set a new tops for this
year’s event.

Here We Gol-
Purdue and Crimson
Crippled Bulldogs at Wisconsin Tonight
By UNITED PRESS Indiana’s college cagers play 24 games this week, but for most of Hoosierdom there’s only one clash— Saturday at Bloomington when Pure
|due’s Big Ten leaders meet Indiana,
strong pre-season favorite for the western conference crown. Even today Indiana, who hasn't been beaten on its own court since Feb. 26, 1938, when the Boilermakers triumphed, was favored to hand the Lafayette quintet its first defeat in conference play.
Purdue Cooled Off?
The seers figure that perhaps Purdue, without quéstion the hottest team in the conference before the mid-season examination rest, has cooled. off since its last battle, while Indiana proved that its form was not hurt by trouncing De Paul, one of Purdue’s conquerors, Saturday -at Chicago, 51 to 30. Besides there’s the home floor advantage. Butler and DePauw also engage in competition against Big Ten teams with the crippled Bulldogs starting tonight against Wisconsin at Madison and completing the program for the week at Indianapolis Thursday against Northwestern, DePauw plays at Iowa tonight. An even dozen games this week affect conference standings.
Butler, with four men of its first team out of action, surprised vire. tually everybody Saturday by holde ing Ohio State, defending Big Ten’ titleholders, to a 51 to 45 triumph, The Bulldogs, who have apparently cinched their second straight college conference title, were without Capt. Jerry Steiner, Dietz, Braden and Neat, all regulars,
steiner, Dietz Out
