Although Scully a « vetaran, he stil] knows the ropes as a result of meeting . But he didn't have enough on the ball to stay

The Indianapolis lad threw leather with both hands ‘and his timing was wysually just right. . . . Furthermore, he was in the ' proper physical condition to step it off fast and geared to go ten heats. But Bud didn’t need to travel the distance. . . . He softened up ~ Scully even in the first round but that softening wasn't evident in the second. . -.- The Chicago boy rallied and made it warm session but with Cottey still ahead. | .. : In the third stanza rocked Cottey with a couple of jolts . to the jaw and Bud retaliated with lefts to the head and hody. . That one heat looked even. " ‘Bit. Cottey was not to| be denied. ... He found a weak spot in Scully’s midsection and in the fourth round peppered that mark ‘with both gloves without | forgetting to alternate the attack by switching punches to the head. . . . Scully kissed the canvas for the ‘nine-count during this withering attack and then he toppled for a second time for nine seconds. On a third trip to the floor the’ referee counted ten and it was over in 1:50 of the fourth. |

Jeffers Flattens Bryan in First Heat

THE SCHEDULED six-round semi-windup betwien * Jethro Jeffers, Indianapolis heavyweight and former Golden (ilover, and Bob Bryant, Kokomo, i only lasted long enough for Jeffers to

The Kokomo heavy swooned his own corner after stopping a left and a hard right and was down for nine. . . ., His nose was bashed in and after regaining his legs a couple more rights polished him off in 2:49 of the round. | Jeffers carries a potent| right and if he lands it on the button it usually means curtains. |

Maynard was helpless after getting up from a count of nine, his nose sp blood and Bland was pounding hm with both gloves. | But it was a problem for Happy Atherton ,the referee. . . .

Is Angott in ‘Great’ Class?

NEW YORK, March 7 (U, P)— The big question in Cauliflower Canyon today is this: Is lightweight champion Sammy Angott as

great as he looked last night, or was there something wrong with the No. 1 challenger, Bob Montgomery? Bull-shouldered Angott, with his

one of the year’s major upsets before 11,522 fans at Madison Square Garden, hammering out a lop-sided non-title 12-round decision over the Philadelphia Negro, who had been favored at 11-5. Angott won in a walk-away, taking 10 of the 12 rounds on the United Press score sheet, flooring his man once, and giving his taller brown-skined opponent such a thorough trouncing that it was a dull contest. If Angott actually is as good as he looked, he must be classed as a miniature Harry Greb, and as a champion who stands out head and shoulders above his opposition just like Joe Louis and Tony Zale in the heavyweight and middleweight classes. He can be mentioned in the same sentence with other great 135-pound kings—Canzoneri, Leonard, Nelson and Gans. We woh’t know for sure until we see Slammin’ Sam in his next two engagements with (1) Ray Robinson, the brilliant young Harlem welterweight who has won 53 straight victories, and (2) Allie Stolz of Newark, N. J, who automatically became No..1 lightweight challenger last night.

CHICAGO, March 7 (U. P), = Illinois and Michigan threatened Ohio State’s pre-meet claims to the Big Ten indoor track championship today by qualifying strong delegations for the final competition. Ohio State, primarily because of

its first conference championship. Illinois led the qualifiers by placing 12 men in the finals after last night's preliminaries. Michigan was next with 10 qualifiers. Then came Ohio State with nine, Indiana with six, Iowa with five, Wisconsin and Purdue’ with four each and Chicago with one. Minnesota and Northwestern failed to qualify a performer in the five track and one field events.

Favor Anderson in Regional; Bears Are 'People’'s Choice’

Brownsburg this afternoon at 1:30

o'clock in the first game of the regional at the Tech gym. Anderson and

contest. Archie Chadd’s Anderson

Indians are the favorites. Central of Lawrence is the “people’s choice.” Anderson has had a mediocre season, winning 14, losing nine, against strong opposition. But Anderson is a tournament team and has won its last five games, longest streak of the season. ay Central has the: best defensive’ average of the: four clubs. The: Bears have held# opposifion to an average of 26.5 Negley points, while their offensive mark has settled around 33. Brownsburg, which lost more ball games than it won during the regular season, should not give Central much fear. The Cowboys probably will go out as quietly as they entered. The last season games Anderson and Greenfield lost were to New Castle. The Trojans edged Anderson, 37 to 35, and downed Greenfield, 34 to 28. That gives a “paper” edge to Anderson, but Greenfield has won 17 of 22 games to date with an inexperienced club.

Anderson vs. Central

Bill Thornburg, Harold Snow, Roy Witry and Adrian Keesling are four experienced seniors on the starting Anderson five. Snow, six feet three inches tail, and Witry, a guard, carry the mail. That is why the Indians are postmarked for the final tilt against Central. Central has the best won and lost record of the four teams; won 18 of 23 scheduled games. Pete Negley, Ed Lane and Jake Luther, Central's big Bears, are taller than six feet and this trio has scored better than 500 points this year. Brownsburg does not have one player reaching six feet. Tonight’s winner will play in the Anderson semi-final next Saturday against winners from Greencastle, Shelbyville and Rushville.

Still in Running

last year’s runners-up, the Madison Cubs, are still in the race—with every prospect of Eight teams that have been former winners of the state crown in the 32 years of tourneys are in the battle Lafayette, Logansport, Frankfort, Anderson, Crawfordsville, Lebanon, Franklin and Washington. But the heated Lafayette regional, where Frankfort, Lebanon and

eliminate at least two of them. Of the list of virtual dark horses, many hold unusually good chances to spill the favorite. Bast Chicago Roosevelt, Monrovia, Monticello, Greenfield and Lawrence Central— to mention a few—were being viewed as powerful threats today. The Guesswork

A brief pieture of the 16 regional wars:

AT BEDFORD: Bedford over Seymour; Jeffersonville over French Lick. The Stonecutters should whip Jeff in the final tilt. AT EVANSVILLE: Boonville in a close one over Ft. Branch, Evansville should down Boonville after an easy afternoon game over. Tell City. : AT FT. WAYNE: Ft. Wayne Central, after some trouble, over Warsaw, then over the winner of

i | Wolf Lake and Butler.

AT GREENCASTLE: Close tourCrawfordsville should win

AT HAMMOND: Horace Mann, with trouble, over Michigan City, and again with more trouble over East Chicago Roosevelt, winner over Brook. AT HUNTINGTON: Huntington should prosper, taking Liberty Center, then the Pennville-Pleasant Mills winner. AT INDIANAPOLIS: Anderson, after a hard game from Greenfield, and a tough contest with Lawrence Central, likely conqueror of Brownsburg. AT LAFAYETTE: Toughest chojce. Lafayette, after beating Lebanon, then Fraga, Frankfort may get upset by Otterbein.

Logansport May Win AT LOGANSPORT: Logansport, but will have a hard time with Peru and * Monticello. Monticello over Flora in afternoon match. AT MARION: Tipton should win after beating Greentown, then Fairmount, probable early winner over North Manchester. AT MARTINSVILLE: Terre Haute Wiley, with possible bother from Monrovia. Wiley over Linton-Bra-zil winner in night contest. AT MUNCIE: Richmond, after leaping Straughn threat, then Burris. Burris should win over Winchester in pm round. AT RUSHVILLE: Aurora with not too much doubt. Should take Cross Plains, then Kitchel, winner over Arlington. AT SHELBYVILLE: Madison gets the nod, but Columbus is hot. In

Columbus over Franklin. : AT SOUTH BEND: South Bend Central as victor over Fulton, then over Goshen, Culver winner. ' AT WASHINGTON: The Hatchets to defend with success over Sulivan, then closely over Jasper, the vanquisher of Bicknell,
