FRIDAY, FEB. 23, 1940

Or Tre BACKBOARD

By J. E. O'BRIEN

TONIGHT WE. PLAN to sleep with a road map of In-

diana beneath our pillow, two referee’s whistles and four|

basketballs under the bed and three I. H. S. A. A. bulletins

in each hand.

We've persuaded the fellow. upstairs to pound his feet at intervals in the manner of an excited clicering section,

and now we're trying to talk the guy we live with into

awakening at 2:30 a. m. and giving a one-man rah locomotive. All this, we believe, should be conducive to good basketball dreaming and by tomorrow morning we're almost positive the name of the 1940 state champion will have come to us.

Just Practicing

Meanwhile here’s what we've been practicing on: Butler over DePauw. Your championship, Bulldogs: Butler over Notre Dame. Our long-shot special. Indiana over Chicago. Don’t laugh yet, brother. Indiana over Ohio State. But not without a fight. Purdue over Wisconsin. Merrily they roll along. Purdue. over Iowa. diana!

The H. S. Front Anderson over Shortridge. A close one, however. Manual over Beech Grove. And they may meet again next week. Warren Central over Broad Ripple. What did we tell you, Rockets? Muncie Central over Alexandria. In spite of that nine-game victory streak. Bedford over Evansville Central. That's the way they look compared to Bloomington. Columbus over Greencastle. Somebody has jammed the Bulldogs’ accelerator. Richmond over Connersville. Although the Spartans took the first one. South Bend Central over Elwood. No duds in these fireworks. Vincennes over Evansville Bosse. But don’t ask us how many SIAC points the Alices have. Marion over Ft. Wayne Central. Marion-South Side would have been

the real battle. Ft. Wayne North over Hunting-

ton. Watch North, they tell us.

Don’t Weaken!

* Pt. Wayne South over New Albany. The Archers see the Ohio River. Logansport over Frankfort. A North Central argument. Martinsville over Franklin. Should be easy." Whiting over Gary Emerson.

Highlighting the schedule tonight is the Shortridge invasion of Anderson. Kokomo had to finish fast to whip the North Siders last week and the Indians may find a tough opponent on their hands. Expected to start for Shortridge are Bryan West and Walt Freihofer, forwards; Larry Yeager, center, and .Chuck Benjamin and Dave Strack,.guards —the same starters used last week. In two local games tonight Warren Central comes to Broad Ripple and Louisville Central will be “entertained” at Crispus Attucks. Tomorrow night the spotlight swings to the Tech-Washington game and already the dopesters are dizzy. Washington has come out favorably with its South Central neighbors and holds it can do likewise with city competition. The Big Green, on the other hand, has been finding the going tough in the North Central conference.

Times Special

Bears

HERSHEY, Pa., Feb. 23.—The Indianapolis Capitals found themselves today in the unpleasant and unfamiliar position of being tied for

the leadership in the International-American Hockey League.

It’s an

unusual situation for the Indianapolis boys, for they've led the way

most of the time. This all came about when the

tie here last night by the Hershey Bears and the Providence Reds won over Syracuse, 4 to 2. The Reds now have 53 points for the season, the same as the Caps. But still the Caps are leading the Western Divi-

sion, five markers ahead of Cleveland. Mackie of the Bears scored in the first period when he caught an easy shot that had rebounded off Goalie Alfie Moore's pads.

Hamill repeated the perform- i; ance for the Bears in the second |Roul

period. Hudson then started to work for the Caps and scored in the third period on-a long pass, but it was

only 11 seconds later when Pet-

It’s weepida, No Foolin’

ARCADIA, Cal, Feb. 23 (U. PJ). —They still rubbed their eyes at Santa Anita Park today—experts who lost and suckers who won alike —but nebody could erase the name Sweepida or the memory of the $68.60 the California-bred gelding paid in scoring his native state's first triumph in the $50,000 derby. He wasn’t even named for Kentucky’s Derby and his future still is"as obscure as a cubistic painting, but it will be many years before the 3-year-old son of Sweepster is forgotten. That goes for his owner, H. C. Hill of Stockton, Cal., as well as for the other 34,999 persons who saw him turn back 16 rivals by a length and a quarter for the biggest upset in Santa Anita’s stake history. For Hill thought so little of his own horse’s chances that he backed him with only a $5 bill while he sent his roll along on Son Altesse, who finished a solid 12th. But Hill had consolation money of $43,850 as first prize, while thousands of fans who jumped on the low-priced choices had nothing but headaches. The R. C. Stable’s Royal - Crusader was second, William Ziegler’'s Weigh Anchor third and C. S. Howard's Mioland fourth, but actually Sweepida was the only horse in the race. He led from e|flagfall to finish. From wire to wire, and he covered a mile and

sla furlong under the hand of

Ralph Neves—a local boy who added weight to the general California celebration—in 1:51 3-5. This was a second and one-fifth slower than Stagehand’s race record, but it was fast enough for a pagsoR of $68.60, 21.20 and .10.00.

Butler Trackmen

Michigan-Bound

Coach Ray Sears and 18 Butler trackmen left today for Kalamazoo,

State Teachers College in a dual track meet tomorrow.

Western State took Butler’s measure last year, 61 to 43, but has lost heavily by graduation. Its returning squadmen are doped to account for but 17 points, while Butler men who placed in last years’ events should account for 34 on the same performance. Unless the Michigan sophomores: are stronger than expected, Butler is favored to win by a handy margin. Butler’s -two ace cinder artists, Charles Marshall and William (Rosy) Southworth, are counted on heavily to provide the scoring punch. Marshall is expected to capture the hurdles, high jump, and to place well in the middle distance events, while Southworth should bring home first in the distance events, as well as anchor the relay teams. The squad will be reinforced by the return of Southworth, Jim Stewart, and Bernard Fox, who have been held on the sidelines by illness. Two more indoor events follow on the Butler track card before the Relays at the Fieldhouse on March 16. On March 2 the Searsmen travel to Naperville, Ill., for the Midwest-

lern Track Carnival, and on March

9 to East Lansing, Mich, for the Central Collegiate Conference Championship.

And Ambers Fight Tonight

Uncertainty Is Afoot

BULLETIN : NEW YORK, Feb. 23 (U. P.)— Al Davis held a 7% pound weight advantage over Lou Ambers for their fight in Madison Square Garden tonight. Davis scaled 146%; Ambers, 139. By JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Feb. 23.—Young Al Davis, a brawny, unbeaten Brooklyn welterweight, tries. to tag lightweight champion Lou Ambers with his first knockout tonight in their 10-round non-title fight at Madison Square Garden. If Davis and his paralyzing left hook to the solar plexus can turn the trick, he will clinch a title shot with Henry Armstrong, the welter king, at Yankee Stadium this summer. A near-capacity crowd of 18,000 and a gate of $65,000 is expected because Brooklyn's: tough “Dead End Kid” is the greatest metropolitanbred drawing card in the ring toay.
