Butler to Play At Tech Gym

As a result of arrangements completed by Butler university officials

and H. H. Anderson, principal of Arsenal Technical high school, all Butler home basketball games this season 'will be played in the Tech gymnasium, Frank (Pop) Heddon, acting athletic director and "head basketball coach at Butler, announced today. . The first home game and the season’s opener for the Bulldog quintet will be Dec. 7 with the Franklin college, Heddon said. Although the schedule is incomplete, he indicated, that his team would play 20 games. It is understood that two or three conflicts in dates, because of ‘Butler and Tech home games’ falling on the same dates, HN be ironed out. Walter Floyd will. assist Hedden as basketball:coach. With ‘the Butler fieldhouse leased tothe navy for a signalman’s school for the duration of the war, uni-

versity athletic authorities - were

confronted with the problem of arranging new bazketball playing facilities. g The Tech gymnasium, third! largest basketball gymnasium in the city and with a seating capacity of 5000, was chosen after suitable arrangements could not be effected for use of the coliseum in the Indiana state fairgrounds. Practice sessions of the Butler squad will not be held in the Tech gym, Hedden said, adding that a definite site in this regard had not been selected.

Gets the Boos

NEW YORK Oct. 3 (U. P).— Young Ray .Robinson, Harlem's unbeaten welterweight contender, added’ little to his laurels by stepping out of his class last.night and winning . a- 10-round decision over middleweight Jake LaMotta of thqg Bronx, who is known as: the “Human Truck.” Robinson, slender, dancing 21-year-old Negro, scored his 36th straight victory, but he did it in a fashion that failed to please the ‘Garden. He did it while backpedaling. : Hence the Ians booed Robinson in the latter rounds, although he was giving: a masterly boxing exhibition against ‘a rugged middleweight who out-weighed him 12% pounds. Robinson scaled 145 pounds to LaMotta’s’ 157%. ‘The crowd ‘was displeased also because Robinson, the Harlem knockout artist, who entered the ring" a 5-1 favorite, failed to ‘put away his man, although he hit awkward Jake with everything but the water bottles. The United Press gave Robinson eight rounds and LaMotta only two—the first and seventh. In the first, LaMotta— only 21, and never kayoed in ‘any of ' his. previous 39 ring brawls— started after Robinson as if“ to wipé up the ring with him. But in the second Robinson went to work on his bigger and heavier opponent, and, although retreating, exploded so many uppercuts and straight rights in his face, that it seemed Jake must go down.

IF rick Predicts Cards to Win

Next 3 Games \

By PAUL SCHEFFELS ric United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Oct. 3.—The St. Louis Cardinals, as cocky a ball club

as ever came in from the West, looked over the stadium that Babe Ruth’ built and expressed confidence that their unorthodox baseball would be good enough to finish the world series in the three ghmes scheduled for New York,

“There is no defeatism among us” Manager Billy Southworth said. “We have come here with only one view—to end the 1942 world series, and I mean in our favor.” _ His players felt the same way. So did a lot of other National leaguers. Leo Durocher, manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers who battled" the Cardinals’ right down to the wire, said the Cardinals “will take them.” “They threw off their first game jitters when they won the “second game,” Durocher said. “You've got ‘em now,” he said % Jimmy Brown, the Cardinal second baseman, “I hope so,” Jimmy replied. Gaining Support

Ford Frick, National league president, predicted the Cardinals would win in six games. He said the two games he had seen at St. Louis were enough to convince him that he would prove a good prophet. Despite the betting odds, which * kept them on the short end, the Cardinals were gaining support. Hand-to-hand bettors on. sBroadway were helped in their swing to the Cardinals by the amazing rebound that carried St. Lapis to triumph in the second game. They viewed as extremely significant the fact that the Red Birds lost with their ace, Mort Cooper, and then triumphed over a series of jinx by winning with a freshman, Johnny Beazley. : The same observers, whose streetcorner wagering furnishes a pretty accurate line on series odds, put up $11 to win $5 on the Yankees, A $5 bet on the rapid Red Birds would net $9. If you pick the Yankees to repeat as series champions, you can win $5 by laying $12. A dollar bet on the Cardinals will bring you $2. + Another and more potent detail in the Cards’ favor is their untapped pitching power, Manager Southworth has Max Lanier, Mur= ry Dickson and Howie Krist in addition to Etnie White, He also has both Mort Cooper and Beazley to call back for another shot at the Yankees, if the series goes that faf,

. CHICAGO, Oct. 3 (U.

Lee probably will be opposed by Hirgm Bithdrn, Cub rookie. The Sox won their third straight victory last night, 3 to 2, largely through the efforts of First Baseman Don Kolloway and Right Fielder Wally Moses. Kolloway scored two of the Sox runs and Moses tallied the third.. A throw from deep right field in’ the sixth inning by Moses cut down Lou Novikoft at the plate and kept the Cubs from tying the score. : Johnny Humphries allowed the Cubs six hits while his teammates . garnered the same number oft of Claude Passeau.
