But permit Scrivener Smith to
unwind ‘the baseball piece. . .".
“It was April, 1937, in Thomaston, Ga., the big local rubber company plant had closed down for the first time in its history and the whole
town had turned out to see the
phenomenal Bob Feller pitch
against Carl Hubbell in an exhibition game. “As the folks began collecting in their seats around the country
diamond, the Cleveland Indian
were having | their batting practice, with pitchers shagging fiies in the outfield.
Feller wasn’t out there,
as he was resting before his pitching chore, but Lloyd Brown, an experienced lefthand staff-mate, was on hand. “A reporter, strolling across the field to the improvised press
box, stopped to observe to Brown:
“ ‘You can’t fool baseball fans. These people are out here to get
a look at Bob Feller and Old Hub.
If they didn’t have class they'd
never pull this crowd. What a pitcher that boy is!” ”
“ ‘Yeh,’ agreed Brown, ‘he is gre us this year. “ ‘Eight games!’ exclaimed the s

F ireball Five Slowly Lulls Ohio to Sleep
On Second Place
* By J. E. O'BRIEN Times Staff Writer.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Feb. 4.—'Long about 7:30
Fireside Five decided to dream this one out, which was a bit rude considering that Indiana University had advertised it as a basketball game and invited all the folks over from the nearby villages.’
But the Buckeyes were tired, having stayed up late and worn themselves to a frazzle at Butler’'s hoop to-do on Saturday night. And the Hoosiers hadn't slept well themselves since that nightmare at Lafayette. So nos body could object, unless it was the 5500 or so customers trying to doze on the knotty bleachers. Right away, Officials Ike Craig’ and Dick Bray realized the danger there was of having some sleepy forward fall off the big rectangle. They did their best to keep the boys awake with long, shrieking blasts on their respective whistles. And since it wasn’t really I. U’s bedtime, Andy Zimmer, Bill Menke and John Logan scampered and shot until the Fireball Five had a 17-8 lead. The Hoosiers looked like a cinch already. The Buckeyes were advised to douse their heads in cold water at each time out, while the management considered peddling pillows and posting “No Snoring Please” signs. The official scorer thanked his lucky stars he’d had an extra cup of coffee for dinner, and the radio announcer two seats down kicked himself for not selling this time to Beautyrest Mattresses. » ” ” NEAR ‘THE end’ of the half Coach Branch McCracken, an insomnig victim himself, had the senior manager wake up three or four of the reserves so he could change shifts, Coach Harold Olson would have liked to have done the same, but he could arouse only one. So at the half, Indiana had 26 points on the scoreboard‘and all the first-stringers on the bench, while Ohio State had gotten 17 points and about 40 winks. Sphinx Club, reputedly a wideawake campus organization, brought out & ping-pong table, a badminton net, shuttlecock, tetherball equipment and six fellows who had been permitted to sleep through their 3 o'clock classes to entertain at intermission. Meanwhile, Ohio State left word at the desk to be called five minutes before the start of the second half. Among the Indiana hands assigned second-half chores were Irvin Swanson, Bob Menke, Tom Motter, Bill Torphy ahd Logan, and these five tiptoed through Ohio State’s defense at intervals to run the score to 42-20. At this point even the Ohio State basket was yawning. un ” z THEN FOLLOWED 4g period during. which various Indiana men tried to keep Ohio State’s Dick Fisher awake by bumping and shaking him. Six times Fisher attempted to put the ball through the hoop from the gift counter and six times he missed. He finally succeeded on No. 7. Max Gecowets hit sz Buckeye bucket, his third and his team’s seventh and the last, incidentally, the boys from Columbus: obtained. For a while everybody wondered whether taps already had blown for the Hoosiers. A pressbox statistician keeping alert by jabbing himself inthe arm with the business end of his yellow pencil maintained that Ordine Heine's free throw in the waning . moments was Indiana’s first point in 10 minutes. Denton threw in a nightcap from the corner. The score was Indiana, 45; Ohio State, 25, and then the gun went off. That's what woke us up. Summary: Indiana (45).

Seats All Gone
BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Feb. (4 (U.P.)—Indiana University officials announced today the Big Ten basketball battle between Indiana and Purdue University here March 1 is a complete sellout.
Butler ‘Cagey’ About Wabash
Butler is not “banking on Wabash” tonight. Instead the Bulldogs’ basketball team is expecting another test-run through the mill when it meets the Wabash five at Crawfordsville. It will be the first game ofthe annual’ rivalry series and it is-ex-pected to attract one of the largest crowds of the year to the Wabash
gymnasium. As defending champions of the Indiana College Conference, Butler will need a victory tonight to keep pace with Indiana Central, St. Joseph and Evansville, all of whom have perfect conference records.
Hard Fight Expected
Despite the fact that they have lost this year to DePauw and Oakland City in the conference, the Little Giants are all keyed to present an uiwelcoming ceremony for Butler. They have done it in the past. Neither club tonight can swagger about its record this year. Butler has won three and lost two games against Big Ten competition and has a season’s record of seven and seven while Wabash has won seven and lost six, including three Big Ten defeats. Wabash has lost to Northwestern and DePauw by close scores while the Bulldogs have scored triumphs by narrow margins over these teams. They both have lost to Notre Dame by wide margins. Coach Herman Berns of Wabash has adjusted his lineup radically for tonight’s battle. In an effort to stop Butler’s string of 20 consecutive conference victories, Berns has decided to start a lineup of four sophomores and one junior, The change is a move on Berns’ part to “outstrecch” the Bulldogs... This new combination. averages approximately six feet two inches in height.
Indianapolis Represented
The new faces in the Scarlets’ first five are Earl Dowd, Rockville, and Ralph Hessler, former Shortridge High School player. Dowd has replaced Carl Klein, another Shortridge luminary, at one forward while Hessler has taken one of the guard posts from Bill Fisher, Monticello senior lost tothe team temporarily because of an injury. ‘Ray Greve, Carl Kelley and Rawl Ransom will complete the Wabash five. Ransom is the junior. William Stauntz, another Shortrdige product, and Walt Williams, also of Indianapolis, may see some action tonight. Meanwhile, Coach Tony Hinkle is expected to start the same five he used against Ohio State last Saturday night. - The probable five will be Capt. Bob Dietz and Elwood (Woody) Norris, forwards; - Bill Hamilton, center, and Harold (Red) Braden and Lyle Neat, guards. An early change may see Wilbur Schumacher and Jim McCray replacing Norris and Braden, respectively. Dietz, with 146 points, is leading Butler scorers and needs but 12 additional points to set a new alltime university scoring mark.

Doerner Bags 32 to Regain Scoring Lead
TONIGHT’S GAMES
Butler at Wabash. North Dakota at Notre Dame. Oakland City at Central Normal. St. Joseph’s at Xavier, Tri-State at Olivet. Elmhurst at Valparaiso.
By UNITED PRESS Evansville College’s Wilford Doerner last night hung up 32 points to regain the Indiana conference basketball scoring lead as his team downed Earlham, 65 to 57. The flashy forward boosted his total points for 10 games this season to 198, two more than Neal Mosser of St. Joseph's has ace counted for in 13 games. Last week Mosser held the lead while Eyanse ville was idle. Doerner registered 12 field goals and eight free throws against Earle ham. ; The Quakers made their only real threat late in the first half, reducing the margin to one point at 27 to 26. However, Evansville got another basket to lead by a 29 to 26 edge at the half and began pulling away immediately after the resumption of hostilities. The triumph was the ninth in 10 starts for the Aces. Doerner got plenty of help from Harold Montgomery who tallied 10 field goals for the Aces. Rex Anderson led the Quakers with 22 points, It was the Aces’ second conference win in as many starts. They effectively handcuffed the Quakers whenever they got ‘close. Tonight Butler and Wabash tangle in their annual rivalry, with the Bulldogs looking for their fourth straight league victory. Also in the circuit, Oakland City invades Central Normal. At South Bend, Notre Dame, still without the services .of Capt. Eddie Riska, risks its seven-game winning streak against North Dakota.
