- Orr THE BACKBOARD
By J. E. O'BRIEN
THE PURDUE Bucketmakers, who have won their first four games with more than 25 points to spare in each,
this week-end tackle DePaul
and Loyola, a couple of clubs
always willing to show A-1 hardwood out-of-towners a
good time in Chicago.
But in spite of its 56-point-a-game pace, Purdue fears :
trouble in the Windy City. In the first place; the floor
of the Coliseum, where to-
night’s game with DePaul will be played, is 10 or 15 feet short of the customary size. You can see what this will mean to a team like the Boilermakers that emphasizes a stepped-up oifense. Unless the Lafayette boys get their bearings in a hurry, the forwards will. be bopping their heads and cracking their shins on out-of-bounds hazards.
No Pushing, Please ;
IT ALSO SEEMS that the DePaul and Loyola coaches have objected to what they've seen of Purdue defensive tactics—that strategy of rushing the ballholder in the back court, It's intimated that whoever - does the whistle-tooting may issue an injunction against Pwurdue’s throwing out a blockade beyond midfloor. The Purdue squad still is in a decidedly formative state, and four different starting lineups - - haye appeared in games this season. As a matter of face, wily Piggy Lambert has indicated that the Boilermakers may have no “starting lineup” as such. Lambert is a great believer in the policy of “matching men” wherever possible, and Purdue is apt to be known as a squad rather than a five. The composite scoring table for the first four games:

als? Well, Coach Harold Seering saw all but four of his Sullivan cages leave via the rough route in the Carlisle game the other night. Mr. Seering spotted one of his reserves sitting in the stands, . beckoned him to the floor and had him change into basketball shoes. There was no time for the new-
comer to get into the customary short pants and abbreviated shirt. Then what does: this volunteer do but sink the final Sullivan basket. It was a very much-needed bucket, too, for the Arrows only won by a 42-39 margin. n » ”
Another Firewagon
ALREADY EVANSVILLE CENTRAL fans are comparing Wizard Mark Wakefield's speedsters with that 1935-36 firewagon led by Joe Nicholson, Gene Herschielman and Jim Boose. The Bears remained in the unbeaten class last night by giving the Alices of Vincennes a 25-17 slapping — the first time such a trick has been turned on Central's downtown floor. Central did beat Vincennes at Evansville in 1937, but the Ohio River was splashing in the Bears’ own ball-
was played in the Memorial Coliseum. ‘The victory put Coach Wakefield's flashy five all alone atop the Southern Conference, and there Mark expects ’em to stay. The Bears never have won a Conference crown, ‘mainly because they’ve never scheduled enough games. Wakefield remedied that with this season's schedule. The rest is up to his boys. ” ” »

Kautskys Beat
Firestone Five
NOBLESVILLE, Ind, Dec. 20.— The Indianapolis Kautskys took a 45-42 decision over the AkronsFirestone Non-Skids here last night.
The winners nabbed an early lead and were in front 13-11 at the end of the initial quarter. With some fancy shooting by Gerald Bush, the Akron team knotted the score at half time, 25-all. The Kautskys slipped into the lead as the second half opened and were never headed, holding a 37-33 edge at the start of the final quarter. Jewell Young and Johnny Sines were the top scoter of the winners, Bush, with 10 points, was the chief scorer for the Firestones. Fred Beretta, former Purdue star, looked best on defense for the losers, while Mark Ertle again played a topnotch defensive game for the Kautskys. The Kautskys next contest will be played at Butler Fieldhouse, Dec. 27, with the New York Celtics furnishing the opposition. It will be the rubber game of a three-game series, each team having one victory,

OUT OF THE SNOW and into California’s famed sunshine goes the mighty gridiron powerhouse that is Nebraska's It’s a rugged crew that is on its way to play the Stanford in the annual Tournament of Roses spectacle on "New Year's Day. They don’t pick soft spots for their football players. at Nebraska. Many of the players have real jobs (manual labor) and are working their way through school but they have’ to work at their jobs and get few favors because they are varsity football men. : No softies, the team turned out - in the snow this week to practice for their big game, affer they had waited for days for a snowstorm to abate so that they could leave their indoor practice sessions. At one time three feet of snow smothered the Nebraska gridiron, but when the workmen had cleared the field, the husky Cornhuskers went into action in temperatures much different from those they will experience on the Coast. The accompanying photo was taken just before the team departed for Pasadena. It shows Bob Kahler, fullback (left) and Herman Rohrig passing the ball around in an attempt to keep warm in a lull in Coach Biff Jones’ pracitce session. ” » ” WEAR DOWN the enemy, then score—that’s the kind of football the Huskers play. The major offense is built along military lines, a style brought to the Big Six by Major Jones, who learned his football at West Point. Power and more power is the Jones formula, a formula that produced nine victories in 10 games this year. : The Cornhuskers’ only loss of the season was to Minnesota, 13-7.

By JACK CUDDY #synited Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 20—The curtain comes down with a bang tonight on Madison Square Garden’s year of boxing with two hard-hit-ting champions, both crowned in 1940, matching their dynamite before a near-capacity throng in the House That Rickard Built. Anything can happen in this grand finale of big-time fisticuffs when Fritzie Zivic of Pittsburgh, king of the world’s welterweights, squares off against Lew Jenkins of Texas, the lightweight ruler, in a 10-round, non-title bout. However, there is a . tradition that a good big man can always beat a good little man. Hence, Zivic, the 147-pound boss, is the 9-5 favorite to beat smaller Jenkins, top man of the 135-pounders. Despite this tradition, pricemaker Eddie Borden says wagering is unusually heavy, with
because of his devastating punch. The lightweight king is the hardest hitter, pound for pound, in any division. If lethal Lew can land just one Sunday punch on Zivic’s button, he can blast tradition right into the press seats. Zivic is favored, nevertheless, because most experts figure that Texas
a barrage of angry leather to do much punching himself. They believe Pittsburgh Fritzie has the style to ruin the skinny, holloweyed lad from the oil and cattle country. o : Zivic .won- the boxing world’s admiration on Oct. 4 when he wrested the 147-pound crown from the great Henry Armstrong. He had the “Brown Buzz-Saw” on the floor at the final bell that night. This same Armstrong had given Jenkins a terrific trouncing less than three months previously. On that night, July 17, Jenkins was floored five times before swooning in his corner between the fifth and sixth rounds. He gave a pathetic performance, which Manager Hymie Caplin insisted was caused by lack of condition. The experts figure Lew may be equally helpless against Zivic, who is stronger and rougher than Armstrong. Fritzie has agreed to come
pounds, which will give him a weight advantage of about, eight and one-half pounds over the lightweight king. This weight advantage, however, is nct considered nearly as. important as -Fritzie’s blacksmith arms and shoulders, which enable him to man-handle most opponents, pulling their heads into wuppercuts, . jolting them with elbows, spinning them and “moldering” their bodies in clinches. Although Jenkins is one of the most - dangerous men in the: ring while fighting at long range, he is

Major Jones
husker backers who insist Nebraska should have won because Butch Luther made a 66-yard touchdown dash only to be called back because both teams were offside. And to win, Minnesota had to score its touchdown on a long pass in the final period. “ Nebraska’s line averages 191 pounds a man and only yielded three touchdowns this season. The. backfield starters average 189 pounds. : Nebraska never has made a trip, to a bowl game in its 51 years of football and, according to Jones, | this team he is taking west is one without stars. “A great bunch of boys that have the desire to play and the will to win,” Jones says. ‘There aren’t any outstanding stars on the club and the competition for each position has been keen. Per=haps those factors have made them as great as I really think they are.” The reason for Nebraska's success has been a wealth of good material, including players made-to-order for the Jones system. That, plus . balance, experience, and capable backs, niade the Cornhuskers click.
as he demonstrated in his bouts with Armstrong and another Negro welterweight, Bob Montgomery. Lew won a 10-round decision over Montgomery on. Sept. 9, but he was floored for a nine-count before turning the trick. And young Montgomery, as yet, is no Zivic. Zivic is a good puncher, but he lacks Jenkins’ dynamite. Because the Texan is a killer when he lands and anything can happen in this
