team to win two successive undisputed championships since Wisconsin in 1913 and 1914 accomplished the feat. After defeating Wisconsin, 51-44, Saturday night, Indiana figured to repeat the performance last night without too much trouble. The Hoosiers weren’t capable of turning the trick, however. Wisconsin’s brilliant victory was attributable principally to the sharpshooting of the Badger forwards, Johnny Kotz and Bob Sullivan, who scored 19 points each.

Record Total

Kotz's spree enabled him to boost his three-year conference total to a record high of 472 points. The old record was 465 points, set by Jewell Young of Purdue for the 1936-37-38 campaigns. Wisconsin hopped out in front

By HARRY GRAYSON Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Feb. 16—1It.1is interesting to note that Sergt. Joseph Louis Barrow has been assigned to that hazardous theater of operations—Hoilywood. : The war department, which couldn't see its way clear to let Sergt.. Joe Louis and Corp. Billy Conn draw blood for army relief, is putting the champion of the world in grease paint. There is no line on Sergt. Louis’ capabilities as an actor, but anybody can testify on a pile of affidavits as high as Secretary Stimson that he can fight. And Corp. Conn is getting no thinner doing paper work and teaching boxing at the quartermaster post which is Camp Lee, Va.

Soldiers All Over the World Would Hear Louis-Conn Fight

Soldiers all over the world will not get the slightest lift hearing that Sergt. Louis is appearing in the cinema version of “This Is the Army.” They know what the inside of that organization looks like. But just let the war department throw Sergt. Louis and Corp. Conn inside a ring, and soldiers throughout the English-speaking world will listen in. Sergt. Louis and Corp. Conn have offered to fight free, gratis and for nothing, and, aside from the morale angel, army relief could use the sizable sum that would be the net receipts of the most attractive boxing match of the day. As long as they are not assigned to combat units, why not put Sergt. Louis and Corp. Conn

Public Would Accept

Concerning the financial aspects, informed football men have assured Dr. Aldinger that the public unquestionably would accept the high school competition as a substitute for the college game. Genuine fans want to see somebody playing on e gridirons on Saturdays, even grammar school boys. His informants stressed that double-headers, involving four teams, could be staged to assure big attendance. Football men point out also that modern high school boys play a brand of game not too far below the college standard. This was emphasized throughout the nation during the past college season when so many freshmen surprised the grid world by blossoming into stars —greenies like Clint Castleberry of
