SPORTS...

By Eddie Ash

BOXING topped all competitive sports in World War 1 as officers were quigk to see the value of the manly art of self-defense in preparing men for the grim business of overpowering the enemy. . . . Camp and intercamp tournaments were popular with soldiers and sailors,

participants and spectators alike. Buddy rooted for buddy and there was never a dull moment when the boys climbed into the ring for the punchfests, . . . And from a camp in France came Gene Tunney, Marine, a former clerk, who later gained the heavyweight championship and a fortune, Many Indianapolis youngsters today are in training for the 1042 edition of The Times-Legion Golden Gloves tournament and the training they receive is sure to stand them in good stead in the event they are called to the colors by Uncle Sam, And it's a lot of fun for them to box in a huge arena before large crowds, and learn, without being seriously hurt, whether they have the stamina that is required of soldiers and sailors. Golden Gloves tourneys are ably conducted and every precaus tion is taken to protect the amateur fisticuffers. . . . Referees are instructed to halt a bout the moment one of the contestants is unable to defend himself, or is cut about the eyes.

ss = = ® &» =» CONTESTANTS are compelled to undergo a physical examinae tion by physicians before they are permitted to enter the ring and the boxing clubs have competent trainers and seconds to prepare the lads for action, and to eliminate the fear of stopping a punch. By the time a Golden Glover passes through the training mill and completes a tournament there is nothing “soft” about him and his own defense program is at its peak. . . . He is streamlined physically, eyes clear, wind sound and on the alert to dish it out as well as take it,

The Old Babe Says It With Bonds

BABE RUTH has belted another homer out of the park . . « this time in the Defense Bonds League. . . . He made a $30,000 pure chanse in New York Saturday and arranged for a second $50,000 purchase on Jan. 2. . , . That's a hundred grand by the old King of Swat. Said the Babe, “One safe and sure way of knocking the other boys out of the league is to buy Defense Bonds, We're out for one thing-—victory.”

Rousing Welcome for Cook at Danville

J. RUSSELL COOK is to return to Danville, Ind, Jan. 2, at the helm of the giant killer Great Lakes Naval Training Station basket ball team to meet Coach Hank Miller's Central Normal quintet. Cook is a former Central Normal coach and he is assured a rousing welcome by students, alumni and townsmen. Cook's super-colossal sailor quintet has already defeated the Hoosler State's Big Three, Notre Dame, Indiana and Purdue, in that order, and lost by a close margin to Ohio State.

For Butler Against Pitt

Fred Hunckler will play his usual guard post as Hinkle’s Bulldogs take on Doc Carlson's Pitt Panthers tonight at the Field House,

Bulldogs Outplay Hawkeyes

For Second Victory of Year

Coach Paul D. Hinkle found a team and the team found itself, so Butler boasts a Big Ten Victory today. Tonight the Pittsburgh Panthers, built on the same lines as Western Conference foes, tackles the Bulldogs at Field House. Butler is ready. This is the 15th year the Panthers have tried their fortunes in the West and they show a record of 31 victories and 19 defeats, mostly

against Big Ten opposition. Butler is an old friend. Despite losses of last year that include the entire starting five, and one member of the second combination, Dr. H. O. Carlson, beginning his 20th season, believes he has a good team. Paced by the sparkling floor game of Co-captains Wilbur Schumacher and Elwood Norris, the hoopsters of Hinkle found themselves in the second half against Iowa. They outpassed, out-broke and out-ran the long, lean Hawkeyes for a 41-t0-35 ctory.

Schumacher longed and shorted six baskets and two foul tosses while Norris scampered and ploughed to five buckets for the Bulldogs. Hinkle had been alternating two squads, permitting them to play 20 minutes each. But the Hawkeyes faced a solid five which raced through Iowa th only one change until the final minute. Second Victory It was the second Fairview vie tory of the year. Previously Illinois and Northwestern had found the Bulldogs tough but vulnerable. Franklin College was the loser. Iowa had size to tower over the little men of Butler but the speed was too fast for them, Ernest Tidrow started the evening’s action with a long but Tom Chapman, Hawkeyes' leading scorer, came back with two for an answer and Iowa took an early lead, The two squads sprinted up and down, matching basket for basket until late in the period when the smooth passing pair of Seigel and

Hill tricked their caefense too often. The half ended Butler, 17; Iowa, 21. The Hill to Siegel and vice versa continued to pussle the Bulldogs to start the second half and Iowa Jumped its lead a basket. But big Glenn Miller began to edge in instead of out and Bulldog fortunes took a turn.

Miller, Tidrow and Schumacher hit while the Hawks garnered only a bucket and a foul and Butler was moving. Schumacher hit again and Hunckler cut around Miller with the co-captain collecting on a side shot to put Hinkle's men in front. Miller tipped one in and Soderquist of Iowa pulled a sleeper. The score was Butler, 31; Iowa, 28. And when the gun sounded Butler was moving away, asking for opposition. Chapman led Iowa with 11 points,

Army to Break Up the Bears?

By STEVE SNIDER United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Dec. 22-With at least half their crack personnel facing an early call into American armed forces, the fabulous Chicago Bears prepared today for their last scheduled appearance &s the unit that made the T formation famous. Sixteen of the 33 men who contributed to the Bears’ 37 to 9 National League championship indicated they would not be with the Bears next season. Thus would come to pass what every club in the league has been crying for during two hectic sea sons—-a ‘breakup of the bears.” Owner-Coach George Halas, who knit his superb material into the deadliest offensive squad in professional football history, scrambled until the early morning hours at the league's annual draft meeting to land prospective replacements for the 19 linemen and six backs he expects to lose.

Farewell Jan, 4

Last appearance of the Bears will be in New York Jan. 4 against an all-league team selected by National League coaches and directed by stout Steve Owen of the Giants. Owen had fair success in stopping the Bears yesterday but eventually suffered the same knockout blow that 11 of 12 previous foes had felt. His Giants, in fact, were on even terms as late as midway through the third period. Then the roof fell in. Two long passes by Sid Luckman put hardhitting Norm Standlee in position to score. Again heroic running by Standlee and George (Golden Boy) McAfee carried 67 yards with Standlee plunging for the score. Desperate after these thrusts the Giants made mistakes—a pass interference and a fumble—and each resulted in fourth period Bear touchdowns.

Stars to Go

The playoff merely was an opportunity. for more Bear records, nine of which already had been made during the regular season. They became the first team to win two straight titles since the playoff system went into effect in 1933. Bob Snyder's three fleld goals tied the playoff record held by another Bear, Jack Manders. They even scored a defensive record-—holding the Giants to 79 yards by passing, lowest of any playoff contender. But the men who scored all Chicago touchdowns—Standlee (2), Ken Kavanaugh and George McAfee— are among the men who probably were facing their last league come petition for the present. Other backs who soon may depart are Hugh Gallarneau, Young Bussey, Gary Famiglietti, and Joe Maniaci. Linemen expecting a service call are: End-Dick Plasman; tackles— Lee Artoe, Ed Kolman, Joe Mihal, Joe Stydahar; guards—Aldo Forte,
