Hot ‘Jinx Day’ Games Carded In State Race

Clean Slates in Peril In Two Sections

By UNITED PRESS Jinx or no jinx, Friday the 13th spots some hot intersectional high school hardwood battles around the state. While there’s no dearth of conference clashes, a lot of inter-league visiting is on the docket for tonight, plus the matching of conference quin-

tets with independents. For example, Bluffton, dauntless conqueror of Ft. Wayne South side, invades Muncie Burris, while Elwood, equally dauntless tipper of Tipton, calls on New Castle. Bears Go South ‘South Bend’s Central Bears leave their lair to seek warmer climes by traveling" to Huntingburg. The Happy Hunters will have their guns trained on the powerful Bears, re- _ puted the class of the Eastern NIHSC. Undefeated Huntington entertains Kendallville and the untarnished Evansville Central Bears meet Evansville Memorial in a city game. “Other non-conference games find Ft. Wayne South at Auburn, Ft. Wayne Central at Columbia City, and Washington at Jeffersenville. . Clean Slates Periled Conference activity centers chiefly in the North Central, Southeastern, * South Central, Southern and Western division of the NIHSC. The standout game in the North Central is Richmond ‘at Muncie. Neither team has lost in loop competition, although the Red Devils have two wins to Muncie’s one. Top spot in conference standings is at - stake in this game. It looks like the Red Devils will get it.

Coast Will See Louis Fight, If’

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 1. (U. P). — Chairman Jerry Giesler of the California Athletic Commission said today that a proposed Joe LouisArturo Godoy fight at Los Angeles probably will be approved by the commission only as an exhibition and at popular prices. “The people of Los Angeles ‘want ‘to see Joe Louis in action,” said Giesler, “and for that reason the commission undoubtedly will approve a fight here featuring .the champion. “But such a, fight would be ap‘proved only if popular prices were eharged. Of course, this is only my opinion. The whole thing would be deft up to the commission. So far nobody has applied to us for a li‘cense for a Louis fight.” “Giesler said he did not believe the + public should be led to feel that ‘Godoy, twice beaten by the Brown ‘Bomber, “is capable of winning the championship.” The chairman’s statement followed reports from New York that pro‘moter Tom Gallery of 1.os Angeles ‘was flying back to Los Angeles confident that the commission would approve the proposed fight as a ..championship bout. Gallery, while in New York, conferred with Jacobs ;and Godoy’s manager, Al Weill.. He ‘believed the fight would gross about $200,000 at Gilmore Stadium. -

Silents Seek Third

. The Silent Hoosiers will be after ‘their third straight victory when ‘they meet Atlanta at the School for ‘the Deaf tomorrow night.: Berg, :Borinstein, Patton, Travis and Gall will start for the locals. ‘Massey, Merrick and Applegate are also ,sure to break into the lineup.

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 13.—It was Friday the 13th and “sudden death”

for the nation’s leading professional and amateur golfers as the Miami Open moved into the second round today. A tricky wind, not quite so strong as Yyesterday’s stiff breeze, swept the . palm-lined Miami Springs course as the early starters went out to make their final bid for a place among the select 75 pros and 10 amateurs who will be in the finals tomorrow and Sunday. Bright sunshine and fleecy clouds canopied the course and it appeared likely that 155 or better would be needed to qualify for the $12,500 first prize.

Tampa Entry Leads

Tomperry, Tampa, Fla., amateur, led the field of early finishers with a 78 to bring his two-day total to 153. Charles Hoffner, Ocean City, N. J., pro., was second with 74 for a 36-hole total of 154. Next came Wilson Bowsher, Lima 0., with 156; Ed Kirkland, Coral Gables, Fla., amateur, 167. Dan Martin, New York City, amateur, was far out with 186 after rounds of 95 and 91. Ben Hogan, leading money winner of the year, set the pace in opening day’s play and appeared to have a firm grasp on that Serariment of the game.

for 1940, the White Plans, N.. Y,, pro yesterday traveled over “the first- 18-hole' round in a three under par 67 to tie for medal honors with another “Little Ben”—little Ben Loving of Springfield, Mass. Jimmy Demaret of Houston, Tex., with $8627 to his 1940 credit and Sammy Snead, defending Miami Open champion from White Sul-

phur Springs, W. Va., who has won

Hogan Sets Pace af Miami And Nears a Pot of Gold

1$8206, are the only ones in the field

with even an outside chance of overhauling Hogan, and they must take the winner's $2,500 cut to do it. Snead, who was nine under par wita a 271 in winning the big check here last year, was two strokes off Hogan’s pace as they set out today, and Demaret, sensation of last year’s winter circuit, was three behind with his par 70. More than half of the field will be eliminated today with only the

75 low pros and ties and the 10 low amateurs and ties qualifying for the final 36 holes tomorrow and Sunday. Closest to Hogan and Loving were Clayton Heafner, the big, blond candy salesman from Linville, N. C., and Ed Dudley of Augusta, Ga. They were the only 68 shooters. Eracketed at 69 with Snead were Byron Nelson, Jug McSpaden, Jimmy Thomson, Jim Turnesa, Tommy Wright and Claude Harmon. With Demaret in the 70. group were Tony Penna, Horton Smith, Mike Turnesa, Joe Zarhardt, Joe Brown, Ralph Stewart, Chandler Harper, Ky Laffoon and Jock Hutchinson Jr. National amateur champion Dick Chapman of Greenwich, Conn. paced the simon-pures into the second round with a one over par 71. Paul Waner, the veteran Pittsburgh baseball player who was released last week, had a miserable 86 yesterday and was in danger of not. qualifying. Paul Derringer of the Cincinnati Reds was one of the 14! who failed to finish before dark last night, and will finish his roung this morning.

Belloise Gets | Another Try.

By JOE WILLIAMS . NEW. YORK, Dec. 13.—It will be

; interesting. to see how Kén Otverlin goes about defending his middie-}

weight. championship against Steve Belloise in the Garden Grotto tonight. This is a return match. In

vived a fierce bombardment to win,

other time in the same round he almost ‘belted ‘him out of the ring, only .the ropes preventing a repetition of the - gaudy Dempsey-Firpo incident. ‘Lack of poise in a crisis cost Belloise a knockout. He made the mistake ‘all young fighters do. He opened up with every gun in his

frenzy. His timing was bad and few of his blows landed cleanly. All he

Overlin and let him have the clincher punch. Youthful impetuousity got the better of him.

velop tonight he may be counted on to act with more composure. This is one of the fundamentals of the

youngsters don’t grasp it right off. It must be obvious that'a dazed, reeling fighter isn’t hard to drop.

onslaught replete with aimless swings merely gives the stricken fighter time to recuperate. The feeling is that Overlin isn’t likely to get in another jam. We'll have to see about that. It all depends on how he fights. If he had fought differently in the other fight it wouldn’t have been close; certainly: he wouldn't have been close to unconsciousness. Either his reflexes’ were slow or he was overly. cautions. He isn’t a hitter himself and to win from hitters he must swarm qQver them, keep them off balance, beat them to the draw.

COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 13 —~They “claim it’s - always fair weather when good, jolly fellows assemble but what the weather will be like here on Jan. 25 is strictly a matter of conjecture. On that day the second annual Columbus. Southpaws’ Bowling tournament will be held. The event was inaugurated a year ago, mostly as a joke. But so many portsiders took it seriously that it looks like the tournament now takes its place along side the automobile—they’re both here to stay. Men and women bowl in“h event and have a great time role ing from the wrong side of the lanes. As for the secretariial work, the southpaws went to the Columbus City Association secretary, Orrie Youngman, and got. the help they need—he’s a southpaw, too!

Ex-Chicago Player Raps Shaughnessy:

CHICAGO, Dec. 12 (U.P) —Clark Shaughnessy, coach of the Stanford University Rose Bowl football team, today was accused by one of his former players of failure to understand and inspire his squad when he was coach at the University of Chicago. Milt Weiss, varsity guard at Chicago until the university abandoned Big Ten football, wrote in a student magazine that Shaughnessy had an amazing knowledge of football but “lacked the ability to get close to his players and really un-

derstand them.”

you could have some fun and show off before 90,000 folks?" I feel even more strongly about the Nebraska band getting to the Rose Bowl than I did Tennessee's. This is because of the difference in climate between the cities of Knoxville and Lincoln. Knoxville is fairly pleasant in the fall and winter, and a bandsman can parade before the game, between the halves, and afterwards, with some degree of comfort. But a gridiron in Lincoln in he winter needs only a couple of wolves and a few guys who speak Russian to double for the. steppes. Imagine ‘playing a" flute.’ when it’s 5 below, or wrapping yourself ‘up in a frosty tuba and marching out to blow it in the teeth of a blizzard. To my way of thinking the Nebraska band deserves a {rip “to Pasadena, if only for the chance to thaw out and. get. its collective blood moving through its collective veins once again, ; #
