Miller, Sgro and Lee Jab

To Victories

By EDDIE ASH "Times Sports: Editor

: ‘CHICAGO, Feb. 27. — With five

victories in the bag, the Indianapolis Times-Legion Golden Gloves

team was feeling rather confident today over its chances in the Tour-|

nament of Champions.

Three lads in the lighter weights|

came through in grand style last night and tonight four heavier boys will see action. These are Buddy Noel. welterweight; Keith Shelp, middleweight; Willard Reed, light heavyweight, and James Hiser, heavyweight. Dick Miller, fiyweight, and Joe Sgro, lightweight, fought twice last night and survived the ordeal. -A. C. Lee, bantamweight, drew.a bye in the tournament’s first round and then annexed a. decision over Joe DiMartino, St. Louis. Lee Prettyman, featherwegiht, drew a bye in the first round, but lost to Willie Jones, Gary, by decision and was eliminated. : :

Wins by K. O.

Miller defeated Roy Burnside, Dayton, O., by technical knockout in the third round and then decisioned Emil Kolo of Wisconsin Rapids. In the Miller-Burnside first round bout the Indianapolis flyweight exploded a two-handed attack at the outset and bewildered his foe momentarily. The Dayton southpaw rallied by planting a hard right on Miller’s chin, but the Indianapolis lad shook’ it off and hooked a left to both head and body as he set the pace. Young Miller had Burnside backed into a corner at the hell. Miller led off the second with a light left jab and followed it with two rights. Burnside countered with a long left and they clinched. Miller had the better of the infighting.

Burnside opened the third stanza by parking a left, but Miller was!

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Feb. 27 (U. P.).—Roy Cochran, Indiana international 400-meter hurdle champion, ran the 440-yard dash in 48.3 seconds yesterday, six-tenths of a second under the world indoor mark, to lead the Indiana track team to a 52 to 34 victory over Notre Dame in an indoor meet. Three timers caught Cochran in the 48.3 seconds time on his record{breaking dash. He equaled the In-|

right-handed attack. Burnside was groggy as he retreated and after he stopped several more stiff punches and was bleeding, the referee stopped the fracas and awarded the bout to Miller by technical knockout: Joe Sgro and Dan Bottero waged a toe-to-toe battle in the first round. Joe wised up to Bottero’s scuthpaw style and opened a righthanded attack. The Missouri boy scored heavily with a left and stopped a right uppercut in return. Bottero decided a southpaw body charge was his best bet and threw punches to the midriff at the start of the second canto. - Sgro retaliated with right uppercuts and a series of these dumped Bottero on the canvas for the count of eight. Bottero was met by another stiff right as he resumed action and was on the floor again at the bell. He was dropped again in the third and the referee called it a night. Miller Wins Twice

In Dick Miller's second bout of the night, against Milt Cashman, the Indianapolis boy got off to a

- slow start in the first round, found

his stride in the second and unleashed a flood of blows to take the lead. Miller took no chances on coasting in the third and banged over a left and right. Cashman

Jones took the play away from Prettyman in the first round and his punches hurt. Lee rallied in the second and made. a fight of it but was outpunched again in the third and last heat. : : : Lee’s shoulder was injured in a battle on the ropes and he had to go to the stadium hospital for repairs after the bout. It was a torn muscle that handicapped the Indianapolis youngster. Joe Sgro’s second victory was the last bout of the night and was scored exactly at midnight. He took out after Emil Kolo in the first and had that round. In the second

CHICAGO, Feb. 27.—A tribute today to Ward (Piggy) Lambert, Purdue’s graying genius, who has produced his 11th Big Ten basketball championship since that winter day in- 1919 when he hopped off a U. S. troop transport from France and took over the Boilermakers. Officially, it’s only a co-champion-ship. Purdue needs an even break in its two remaining games with Indiana and Illinois to guarantee an undisputed title. :

seven victories and three defeats. Iowa Walloped

Purdue clinched its share by walloping Iowa last night, 50 to 29, while Ohio State’s defending chiampions were crushing Indiana’s hopes, 44 to 26. Illinois, again banking on its Biil ‘Hapac, retained a mathematical chance for a share, by outmaneuvering Chicago for the second time this season, 42 to 40. There wasn’t much shouting about this Purdue team before the conference season opened. For once, Purdue had no great individual scoring star nor many assets but speed. Soon, however, Lambert had them traveling and turned them into champions with that deft touch which has produced a title on every “even” year but one since he became coach. Illincis Boys Vital

It may be treason, but Lambert admits he'd be lost without a couple of Illinois boys on the roster. Don Blanken, Dundee, Ill, and Frosty Sprowl, Oblong, Ill, are two of the Big Ten's prize sophomares and their combined total of 30 points at Iowa last night came in handy. Ohio State’s easy victory over Indiana confirmed the suspicion that

By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer LAKELAND, Fla. Feb. 27.—One of the most interesting stories in connection with the spring train. ing camrs has to do with Hank Greenberg, the Detroit slugger.

For 10 years Greenberg, busher and star, has been a first baseman. Now all of a sudden he finds himself an outfielder. At a pretty late age in his baseball life he is beginning all over. The question down here and everywhere where baseball is concerned is: cy he make the grade? We should add this is only a part of the question. Equally interesting is this angle: Why after all these years has First Baseman Greenberg decided that he wants to be Outfielder Greenberg? That would seem to be a simple question. But when you start digging around for the answer it isn’t so simple. Greenberg tells the press he is making the change, or trying to make the change, for the ‘good of the team. Very: few ball players ever do anything “for the good of the team.” As a general thing they are selfish, And perhaps you can’t blame them. Their life’ as baseball stars is reasonably short, It is easy to understand why they pick out a spot _ Where ‘they can last a long time. Why, then, has Greenberg sgrecd

-|to give up a job at which he is an

acknowledged star to tackle another job which at best must be looked upon as a dubious experiment? We can’t make ourself believe that he has any hope of being a great outfielder. He is too smart a young man to have waited this long ;to visualize a new and better career: ‘in. the outfield. It is pointed out that he suffered a broken wrist trying to retire a Washington player—Jake Powell, then with Washington—on|’ a close play. It was one of those plays where the first baseman was drawn off the bag by a bad throw and he had to take the ball and retire the runner on the line all in one movement. There was a collision, a broken bone resulted and Greenberg was never the same. To repeat, that is what | you hear around the camp. How frue all this we wouldn't know. If Greenberg wasn’t a good first baseman, if he wasn't a star, he certainly managed to kid the club owner more than a little ‘bit because hé was the highest salaried ball = player in the American League last season. © ‘When you bring this point up you are told about Rudy York, a hard hitter of assorted and diversified talents.

was fair, at none of them was he sensational, but the final judgment was that he was better at first base than any place else. This judgment was supported by the fact that York was a star first baseman in the American Association. Playing with the pennantwinning Milwaukee team, he was picked as the most valuable man in the American Association and at that.time he was a day-in-and-day-out first baseman. The only reason he didn’t go to irsi case when the Tigers brought him uv was that Greenberg had the job. Because York was a hitter th4 Tigers tried to work him in at other positions. As it turned out the results were not altogether flattering. But now: the time has come for a show down. It’s York against Greenberg, and : Greenberg: is on the tough end. He must start all

“The manner in which the Bulldogs turned a 21-16 halftime deficit into a 39-38 victory was nothing less than spectacular, and the temperature in the large hangar won't drop for a couple of weeks, An Uphill Fight

The whole first session had been an uphill fight for Butler. The tall, Notre Dame players seemed to have long arms and big hands in. service all over the floor. The Irish were efficient at cutting Butler’s intra-team communication and ‘exercised a virtual monopoly on the backboard rebounds.

An. apparent case of nerves that produced wild passes and miscues

plus a goal drought midway in the

period ‘didn’t help the Butler cause. But if any of the spectators were counting Butler out, the players themselves weren’t. Loren Joseph's overhand shot opened the secondhalf assault, and it was Joseph who tallied again, this {ime from the foul circle, to bring tne Bulldogs to within a point of the Irish at 21-20.

Joseph Scores

Then Ken Oberbruner, who had put three first-half field goals into the books for Notre Dame, hooped a pivot shot. But Mr. Joseph was back at-his goal hunting once more and he meshed a one-hander to cut the Irish lead to: 23-22. Bob Smith’s hurry-up fielder on an out-of-bounds play sent the whole Butler team protesting to the

|gentlemen in charge, but the goal

wasn’t erased. Butler took the lead

for the first time since the early

minutes of the game on a tip-in by Jim McCray and a long one by Jerry Steiner that .bounced several times on the rim before falling through. This was the beginning of a period which saw the lead change hands six times before the klaxon. High-scoring Eddie Riska went under to score for Notre Dame, and Bob Dietz duplicated for Butler, A free thow by Dietz and a fielder by McCray built for Butler a 31-27 margin, which looked safe for a while at least. But Market Ertel’s free throw and double-pointers by Larry Ryan and Riska had the Irish right on the Bulldog’s heels again at 32 :to 31.

Irish Take Edge

Butler was forced to relinquish the command to Notre Dame once more, took it back on Dietz’s suecessful solo expedition, then yielded it again when Ellis tipped fone in. With four minutes and 25 seconds to play, Notre Dame held a 36-35 edge. Oberbruner’s basket upped the Irish margin, but Bill Hamilton, back in Butler playing togs, fired a long one through the nets. It was then that Steiner and Ben Gunn staged what must go down as the key play of the game. Jerry, without even a “pardon me,” swiped the ball from the Irish, went hard down the floor and stopped sharply to fool a guard who had been tailing him. He fell as he shot, but managed to regain the rebound and relayed it to Gunn. Ben’s push-up shot was good, and Butler held a 39-38 lead. One minute and. 50 seconds of play remained now, and the Fieldhouse, to put it mildly, was a mad house. Quiet coeds screamed and gnawed at lace handkerchiefs, while their escorts made ho effort to hide their bellowing. What had been reserved citizens now were hooting basketball .fans, unmindful of the punishment being given expensive hats and milady’s apparel.

‘N. D. Tricks Fail

Notre Dame tried all its tricks to get a shot, and although the Irish did work around for several, none was successful. Butler never was in full possession of the ball again, but managed to keep things in such a turmoil that their guests could do no damage. The two teams were still scrambling for the ball when word finally came from the officials’ table that tie battle was over. If Butler had one hero, it had eight. Dietz, with nine points, and Steiner, with eight, topped the Blue scorers, but those figures don’t take into account the rebounds McCray captured among two or three sixfooters—or the goals produced by
