On paper the edge is somewhat scores of teams played by both the Irish and the Bulldogs during the current season shows that the locals should have a slight edge. Notre Dame defeated Franklin, 49-30, and lost to Great Lakes, 52-46, for the only major exceptions. Against Franklin the Bulldogs were only able to command a 10-point advantage, 50-40, while against the Sailors they lost, 51-40.

Butler Best Against Illini

However, against Michigan and Illinois, the Irish beat the Wolverines by a 46-40 count, while Butler had little trouble with Michigan, winning 45 to 19; at Illinois Butler lost by a 52-50 count when a last minute rally fell short, while Notre Dame lost to the Illini, 48-29.

Girl Golfers Cut Schedule

The Indianapolis Women’s Golf Association, working in tune with the curtailment of all golfing Ybrograms, decided yesterday to cut down on its schedule for 1942, Only three events will be staged this year with prizes in the form of defense stamps instead of merchandise, if the Western Association will approve this policy. These decisions were reached following a meeting of the executive committee and representative of all member clubs at the home of Mrs. Robert Ittenbach, president, yesterday. It was decided that the annual city tournament would be held at the Hillcrest County Club on June 15, 16 and 17. Last year the tournament lasted five days. One-day tournaments at Meridian Hills in July and at Broadmoor in August were also planned. Those who attended the meeting in addition to Mrs. Ittenbach were Mrs. George Enos, first vice president; Mrs. W. R. Spurlock, second vice president; Mrs. W. L. Bran, treasurer; Mrs. Roy Swanson, secretary; Mrs. Glenn Howe, Highland; Mrs. William Hutchison, Hillcrest; Mrs. William H.

Perry Finally Wins a Match

CHICAGO, Jan. 15 (U., P.).—Fred Perry, with a three set victory over Frank Kovacs under his belt, was back in championship form today, while Bobby Riggs held a still bigger lead in the Alexis Thompson professional tennis tour. Perry outlasted Kovacs, 6-8, 6-3, 6-4, before a crowd of 5000 in Chicago Stadium for his first victory of the tour. It was Kovacs’ fifth defeat against seven victories. Riggs defeated Don Budge, 6-3, 6-3. Budge, still overweight, was no match for the 1940 amateur champion, whose victory gave him nine wins against four defeats. Under Promoter Thompson's terms, the player who finishes the tour with the highest victory percentaze will take 36 per cent of the profits, Perry and Budge combined in doubles to defeat Riggs and Kovacs, 6-1, 7-5.

Kniptash Helps

ALTON, Ind., Jan. 15.—~Bill Kniptash, former Manual of Indianapolis star, paced Rose Poly to a 61-to-35 victory over Shurtleff College here last night. Kniptesh accounted for 23 points as the Hoosiers jumped into an early lead and were ahead all the way. The score at the half was 25 to 12.
