By J. E. O'BRIEN

TODAY WE met a man with forethought, a man who

buys his anti-freeze in earl

Indiana basketball game. With the permission of trusted himself to, we ob-

- tained an interview with

this fortunate ticket-hold-

The interview was conducted

very muzzles of the tommy guns that will cover the entrance to the Purdue Fieldhouse. So he had a ticket to the Pur-due-Indiana game? And how did he get it? “It's a long story,” he said.

“ “Back in 1936 I attempted to buy

a ticket to the game at Bloomington and put in an application two months ahead of time. Nothing

' doing, I was told. That was the * fourth straight year I had been

the victim of a sellout. So I resolved I would see a Purdue-In-diana game, if I "had to wait until 1941. “I Jaunched my campaign in March, 1936. I had an uncle—, Uncle Jethro—whose second wife was a third cousin to the housekeeper at the home of one of the Purdue trustees. The housekeeper said. she would mention my campaign to the trustee, but she said she thought I could do better by writing directly to the ticket manager. ” » ” ~ “SO I WROTE to the ticket manager, informing him that the third cousin of the second wife of my Uncle Jethro worked for a Purdue trustee and that I wanted a ticket to the Purdue-Indiana game to be played in Lafayette in 1941 or I would know the reason why. “The ticket manager writes back and says that’s all well and good, but that Purdue is playing, as you remember they were, in the high schopl gym, but probably would have one. of its own by 1941. “That's okeh by me, I write back, and I'll just wait till the new gym gets built, Well, every

_year I write back and confirm my

order and finally three weeks ago my ticket comes. These fellows here have heen guarding me and the ticket ever since.” Since he had bought his tickets 80 early, he must have a good seat. “Yep, it's not bad.” And just where is it? “In the top row of the bleachers behind the basket. Well, I gotta get along—got some work to do.” And what's that? “I'm ordering tickets for Sonja Henie’s show here in 1945.”

Burman Gets

His Big Chance

By JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Uprrespondent NEW YOEK, Jan. 30.—More than the world heavyweight crown may be at stake in tomorrow night's Louis - Burman battle —since the double cross is just as important as the right cross in modern prize fighting. ’ As challenger Red Burman: of Baltimore breaks camnp today and shifts into ew York, a peek behind the scenes quickly convinces one that this Madison Square Garden brawl exceecs in significance any of Joe Louis’ previous 1% title defenses. A Burman victory rnight end Mike Jacobs’ reigh as the world’s ace boxing promoter. If the red-heaced Maryland Irishman cops shuffiin’ Joe’s crown, Burman ard his allies unquestionably will try to break their contracts with Promotey Jacobs and take a fling at promoting themselves. It ‘was. by breaking contracts, you will recall, that Jacobs took Jim Braddock and the heavyweight title away from Madison Square Garden. Burman ras as his allies manager Maxie Waxman, Jack Dempsey and possibly Jack Kearns—a trio that dislikes Jacobs intensely. Burman has no love for “Uncle” Mike either, because it’s more than two years since Red fought in Jacobs’ Garden, although he was rarked among the world’s firs; five heavies during that time. Red and Waxman figure that Jacobs has been pushing them around. Burman and Manager Waxman are one of those rare combinations today who are under no financial obligations to Jacobs. They are independent operators—extremely independent. Waxman, Dempsey’s business manager and pilot of his own stable of fighters?is a wealthy man with | plenty of connections. Moreover, ne has had considerable experience 4s a small time promoter. If Burman wins the title, why should Waiman let Jacobs promote Burman’s |; championship fights? Waxman ctiuld do if, with Dempsey and possibly Kearns fronting for him. Only the contracts might prevent it. Contracts for tomorrow night's fight give louis 40 per cent of the net gate and Burmén 17% per cent. They stipul ate that if Burman wins, he will give Louis a return title shot within 90 days, with Burman and Louis each!receiving 30 per cent of that net ge te. >

By STEVE SNIDER . United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Jan. 30 (U.P)— Everyybody loves a fat man—in his proper place. “That place,” observed Manager James J. Dykes snappishly, “is not on the pitching rubber or in the outfield of the Chicago White Sox.” So the “Fat Man's Club” assembled today, three hefties who love their double-thick steaks, stuffed turkey with all the trimmin’s and the line at the bottom of the menu which reels off today’s tasty pastries —by the pound. All they have to do in the next three weeks is melt away approximately 20 pounds each for what Dykes secretly hopes will be the first serious pennant threat of the White Sox since way back when Judge Landis was on the Federal bench and folks just were beginning to wonder if the Sox really had thrown that 1919 World Series to Cincinnati. Members of the club are Lefty Edgar Smith, who won 14 and lost nine last season and had the misfortune to run into Cleveland's Bobby Feller in every series they met, Outfielder Taft Wright, who hit .337 and Outfielder Julius Solters, possessor of a swat mark of .308. Under Deputy Mule Haas, the club will adjourn to Hot Springs, Ark., for a program of muscle-bending, sweating, road-work, and a couple of secret ideas he is sure the members won’t enjoy. Smith reported weighing 205. The roster lists: him at 185, although Smitty insisted he is far ahead of last year’s reducing schedule. \ The outfielders, however, are Dykes’ main worry. As long as little Mike Kreevich is patrolling center field they can waddle all they like.

tween the foul lines, but Kreevich slumped badly at the plate last season—dropping something like 50 percentage points—and Iron Mike may have to be shelved for a spell. Of the three, Wright is the dinner table champion. He had weight difficulties at Washington and was well on his way toward eating his way out of major league baseball. Dykes is taking no chances.

City Fencing Team To Meet Culver

Times Special CULVER, Ind, Jan. 30.—Six events, all at home, are scheduled for the Culver Military Academy teams Saturday. : The wrestling and swimming teams, winners in their openers last Saturday, face South Bend Central, while the basketball and rifle teams meet Howe School. The fencers, also undefeated to date, match blades with the In-

dianapolis Fencing Club, and the polo team steps into the inter-

third-floor bowling alleys at the Pritchett plant. Monday night Johnny Murphy, performing on Alleys 15 and 16 during an Optimist League session, smacked the maples for a perfect Emm score. Last night while the high-powered Indianapolis Ledgue was in session Lee Carmin went to work on Alleys 25 and 26 and hung up 12 straight strikes for another flawless score. Meanwhile Murphy and Johnny Fehr both Lee Carmin seemed headed for near-perfect counts, but both drew splits in the ninth frame after eight straight |g strikes. Carmin’s 300 cont. however, failed to put him in the top spot for the evening, since his second and third games of 178 and 194 gave him only a total of 672. High man was Manuel Schonecker, who combined games of 245, 222 and 265

Willie Hoppe Holds Foe to 12 Points

CHICAGO, Jan, 30 (U. P.).—Willie Hoppe entered the third round of his game-a-day defense of the world three-cushion billiards title today after demonstrating his remarkable precision by holding his second opponent to 12 points. His match with Len Kenney of Chicago ran to 36 innings last night before Hoppe won, 50 to 12, because he still was shaky from the severe attack of influenza which caused him to abandon the challenge match against Jake Schaefer Jr, just before the world tournament. But, although he was unable to score heavily himself during the first “26 innings, Hoppe succeeded in keeping his opponent baffled by leaving him few good shots.
