By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Jan. 25.—For some

time now Joe Louis has been able to call his shots in almost every

fight he has had and the belief is more or less general he can name the round in which he will knock out Clarence Red Burman next week, . This situation has taken some of the zip out of the heavyweight industry and you hear people saying they do not care to see Louis fight any more because he never he fights: anybody Joe Wiiliams but pushovers. This isn't alto--gether so hut if it were the finger { or criticism could not be pointed at . the champion because he takes them as they come, hot or cold. There is one thing to be said about the bomber that was not . wholly true of heavyweight cham- . pions until he came along; he’s an all-out fighting champion. Nobody every asks him to explain the Einstein theory and since fighting is all he knows he doesn’t seem to mind how often he fights. Obviously it isn’t his fault that there aren’t more worthy contenders, or even one worthy contender, to be frank, Burman is about as good as you can get in a run of the mine mar-~

The Bulldbgs didn't run fast enough to suit Mr. Boots in the first half, and he told em so.

Reputedly tne South Central Conference firewagon, Columbus went at a lope all the way but showed with its shori, accurat? passes and an ability to flip doukle or singlehanded that it has the groundwork to cut quick capers. The Bulldogs’ goals came in spurts, Southport trimmed Columbus’ early 9-1 lead and was even at 13-13 before Boots’ buddies ran the count to 26-19.

They also agreed to increase the number of teams in the Eastern Division to five by granting a franchise. to Washington... The Washington club, to operate in the Uline Arena, wil join the lague

Rules governing the league’s Calder Cup playoffs will be much the same as last year’s. In the playoffs, which begin March 18, first-place clubs in each division will meet in a best-three-of-five series, Meanwhile the second and third-place clubs will play in three-game ermminations, with the eventual winner playing the first-place-series winner in another three-of-five game series. The governors, however, stiffened eligibility requirements for the post-season games, ruling that any player competing in the playoffs must have been with his American League club before March 1. :

Times Special TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Jan. 25. — A psychologist, Dr. Rudolph A. Archer of Indiana State Teachers College, today put the scientific stamp of approval on cheer leading at athletic contests as a means for helping a team to victory. Dr. Acher declared that organized cheering does more than allow the spectators “to let off steam.” It produces secretions from the adrenal glands which “stimulate the heart and produce results which may be measured scientifically as well as recorded on the scoreboard.”

Golden Gloves Grad to Fight

Two fistic engagements and two grappling encounters will comprise the combination wresting and boxing show to be staged for the .benefit of the infantile paralysis fund next Tuesday night at Tomlinson Hall. A 10-round fight pits Johnny Denson, local heavyweight, against Bernard Davis, Negro glove-tosser Denson is a “graduate” of the TimesLegion Golden Gloves. He formerly was listed as state light heavyweight champ in pro ranks and his appearance Tuesday night will be his first as a heavy. In a six-round boxing event, Willie Cutsinger, Dayton, O., goes against Pee Wee Weghorn, Cincinnati. They are featherweights. The mat feature sends Louis Thesz, 235, St. Louis stalwart, against the rugged Jack Rader, 235, Omaha. Thesz is a former heavyweight champ. It is for two falls

out of three. Buck Weaver, 180, Terre Haute, grips with Lord Lansdowne, 179, Barrington, England, in a one fall wresting engagement. The program has been arraned by Matchmaker Lloyd Carter of the Hercules A. C. and is being sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce.

Butler still is the big fish in the little pond, but we bet Coach Tony Hinkle would give a fin if he knew how his Bulldogs will perform in belligerent territory tonight when they meet Ball State at Muncie. Hinkle knows not what to expect from the Cardinals on their home floor but the Cardinals have diagnosed the situation. Last night they got a birdseye view when they saw Butler win at ease over Franklin, 45 to 32, in the Fieldhouse. After years of work, Ball State finally got Butler to schedule a game in Muncie. Now the Cardinals are planning a reception before Butler leaves tomorrow afternoon for a two-game invasion of the East. A little bigger, a little faster was Franklin last night. But the Grizzlies got lost in the shuffle when Butler's Bob Dietz and Wilbur ‘Schumacher combined to deal out 24 points. Dietz collected 14 but Schumacher connected on his first five shots just when they were neelied. Franklin scoring with 11 points. Butler had a far better shooting average than Franklin. In the first half, the Bulldogs topped a coach’s one-out-of-three standard with a 371 average and finished the game with 18 field goals in 59 attempts for a .322 average. Meanwhile

in preseason ratings, but each has a big league record in conference competition and tonight's game probably will produce the real chailenger to Indiana's favorites. Only one other conference game is scheduled tonight—Michigan at Northwestern—and it has little significance other than a possible rearrangement near the tag end of the standings. Chicago meets DePaul in a non-conference affair on the midway.

Wolves Have Won One

Michigan has won one game in five. Northwestern still is looking for victory number one in its fifth Big Ten start. ‘ Thus, the important show is at Madison, Wis. If Ohio State drops this one, it slips to third place with three victories and one defeat. In that event, Indiana remain alone undefeated in two games and Wisconsin would move up to second place with a record of five and one: Ohio State, however, is a bit better than an even choice. Its turnabout since the early days of December is amazing and the improvement is unabated. Although the Bucks appear ungainly even in winning, there is a definite balance on attack. Dick Fisher is the top scoring ‘hand at present with 38 points in three conference games, but Capt. Gil Michelson, Jack McClain or Roger Jorgensen have had their hot nights. Wisconsin cannot place too much defensive stress on Fisher or another will break loose.

Bucks Swamped Chicago

In its five games, Wisconsin has had a couple of bad nights. Against Minnesota, the Badgers failed to score from the field in the second half. Against Chicago, they required an “all out” attack until the last minute. Ohio State, on the other hand, swamped Chicago under a near record total of 67 points. Wisconsin's best bet, as usual, is center Gene Englund, always a contender for the conference scoring title. Third last year, he now is the leader with 61 points in five games. In scoring, Michigan has a considerable edge over Northwestern. Two Michigan scorers rank twothree behind Englund in the individual race, and they are Northwestern’s worry. Jim Mandler has scored 48 points for Michigan and Mike Sofiak has picked up 47.

TONIGHT’'S GAMES

Bron Ripple at Cathedral. rawfordsville at Washington. Lafayette at Tech. oe Manual at Decatur Central.

Three of our Indianapolis high school basketball teams are ready to believe that no matter how humble home may be, there's no place like it,

The three—Shortridge, Washinge ton and Sacred Heart—went ae courtin’ beyond the corporation limits last night and ran into nothe ing but trouble. Two or three more points might have saved Shortridge or Washington, but Sacred Heart was beyond aid. The Blue Devils

lost to Rushville, 37-35; Washington to Connersville, 35-33, and Sacred Mears to St. Simon's of Washington, Back home the results were more encouraging. Cathedral dammed Silver Creek, 37 to 26; Manual routed New Augusta, 43-27; Broad Ripple worked longer than usual to best Carmel, 34-32, and Park thumped University of Bloomington, 46 to 31. »

They Rushed the Blue

Rushville is no misnomer, Shorte« ridge was convinced, after the Lions swept into an 8-1 lead. At the first stopping point, the Lions led, 12-3, but the Blue Devils fought back in the second quarter and clipped the hosts’ lead to 20-18 at intermission, Then Bryan West threw in two of the eight field goals he got during the evening to put Shortridge to the front, 22-20. ' Things progressed evenly until Shorfridge’s Chuck Benjamin was ousted on the fourfoul clause. Bob Paddock put Shortridge to within a point of Rushville at 36-35, but John Heeb's free throw settled the issue. It was the Blue Devils’ fifth defeat of the season and their third in succession, Manual’s Redkins were off to a flying start before New Augusta found the range and came back into a midway deadlock. Lanky Charles Wilson was sent in in the second hali to bolster Manual’s backboard game, and he, along with Joe Nahmias, showed the Redskins the way to recovery. The South Siders scored 17 points in the last quarter to put the game on ice.

Irish Freeze Creek

Silver Creek thought it might still be able to run in the sub-freezing weather, but Cathedral’s Irish ended such ideas with a barrage of baskets in the third quarter. Leo Barne horst, Kenny Geiman, Ott Hurrle and Jim O'Neal all had a big part in the Cathedral scoring, while Bob Themming ‘paced the downstate eager with four fielders and a gift Fred Wood's field goat in the final 25 seconds put Broad Ripple into a 32-all deadlock with Carmel, after which Bob Maxwell scored on an out-of-bounds setup in the overtime for the Rocket victory. Ripple held an 11-8 edge at the quarter, but Carmel shut out the Rockets in the second period to grab itself a 15-11 margin. : Offered two free throws in final seconds, Jack Jones of he missed both after New Winchester had spurted near the wire to take a one-point lead.
