inois To Rely On Smiley And Phillip For Big Ten Crown

By TOMMY DEVINE United Press Staff Correspondent eHICAGO. Feb. 27 (U. P.) —The University of Illinois relies on a Mr of basketball specialists, Andy Phillip and Jack Smiley, to bring

victory over Northwestern and

its second straight Big Ten basket-

all championship tonight at the Chicago stadium. _ Phillip represents Illincis’ big offensive punch and Smiley is the

proved too much for conference op-

ponents to handle in 10 previous

“guinen pigs”

‘games this season. . Phillip and Smiley were the of an experiment Mills made at the outset of the sea-

son and the smashing manner in

which they've produced is a testimony to the acumen of the youth-

“ful Illinois coach.

' Phillip played guard and Smiley was a regular forward on Illinois championship team last season. Phillip showed great offensive ahility and finished sixth among conference scorers with 159 points in 15 games. Smiley demonstrated greater ability as a defensive per-

* former than as a scorer.

at the outset of the current cam-

paign. The swap has worked like

a charm for both players. From his front line position Phil- ~ lip has developed into one of the

history. The Illini ace has 199 points in 10 games and is gunning for the. all-time mark of 242 points

In an era when little attention is devoted to defensive play, Smiley has proved that effective guarding isn't a lost art. A week ago he turned in his greatest performance ‘when he held Kotz scoreless for the ‘ first time in the Badger forward’s career. - Phillip and Smiley are the principal reasons Illinois rates as the favorite over Northwestern.

,| leaders of the team events of the

37th annual men’s city bowling tournament should retain their top positions as the event closes tomorrow. Only three squads are scheduled over the week-end, two today and one tomorrow morning. No out-

teams scheduled. The Marott Shoes and Mouldings, Inc. respective leaders in the championship and handicap classes, have a great opportunity to be crowned 1943 champions.

Old Timers

May Compete

PINEHURST, N. C. Feb. 27 (U. P.) —Despite a cut in the field of about 50 per cent, the 41st annual North-South open golf tournament at Pinehurst country club, March 23-25, will uphold the prestige of the event and may draw many of the old-time stars of the game.

Richard S. Tufts, Pinehurst president, has ruled entrants must be at least 38 years of age or in the armed forces. He said he realized the rule would ban “youngsters,” but that he hoped many of the older golfers would “take up the slgck. » “Some things will be missing but the age and prestige of the event will be there,” he said.

Oldest of Tourneys

“The north-south open first was played in 1903. It is probably the

oldest of open tourneys played with-' out interruption since Mike Brady].

Harry Cooper, Tommy Armour, Johnny Farrell, Walter Hagen, Billy Burke, Bobby Cruickshank, all-over the 38-year limit. The tournament will be the last of two meets scheduled for the annual west-to-east swing.

Alex Wants To Come Back

IRONWOOD, Mich, Feh. 27 (U. P.).—Grover Cleveland Alexander, one of baseball's immortal moundsmen, declared today with a straight face that baseball has an excellent chance of existing for the duration if club managers will just agree to move the mound up 30 feet and call the game's old-timers “like me” back into harness. The Great Alexander then pointed to himself as one of the shining ‘examples of experienced, draft-ex-empt ballplayers now available for emergency wartime duty on the diamond, and only when he had put that message across did he permit nimself a grin. Celebrates 56th Birthday When he arrived in Ironwood late yesterday Grover was celebrating

Ibis 56th birthday, but he made it

plain that he did not consider his playing days irrevocably over. “They're calling back all the other old fellows,” he said. “I wouldn't be surprised to receive a call any day now.” Then he confided that during his last 10 years in the major leagues he wasn’t much better than he considers himself to be now. “I got by for the last 10 years without much on the ball simply because I could put them where I

| |

wanted to,” he confessed. “I can still do that.”

5 New Players

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Feb. 27 (U. P.) —Acquisition of five new players was announced last night by Bruce Dudley, president of the Louisville baseball club, of the American Association. Orce Powers, a catcher, and Joe Yurkovich, first baseman, were obtained from the Montgomery, Ala., team of the Southern league, Dudley said. Fred Chumley, pitcher, Walter Milles, catcher, and Paul Moore, shortstop, were obtained from the Madison, Wis. “team of the now-suspended Three-I league.

Sports Quiz

Q—Have there been any instances in the world series when a competing club did not play in its own ball park?

A—In 1914, the Boston Braves played their home games in Fenway park, the field of the Boston Red Sox. By 1915, the Braves’ new field had been built, with a larger capacity than Fenway park, and the Red Sox played their home games of the 1915 and 1916 series in the Braves’ park. In 1918, the Chicago Cubs used Comiskey park, home of the White Sox, in Chicago.

rounds. However, South Bend, Pt. Wayne and Indianapolis Tech had narrow squeaks yesterday.

Jimmy Powers Clicks

Jimmy Powers clicked on two free throws 10 seconds before the final gun tc hand South Bend Central's Bears a 31-30 victory over Mishawaka. Ft. Wayne's Central Tigers, after being deadlocked at halftime, drew away to a 37-34 triumph over North Side. Tech eked out a 37-34 win over Southport after trailing by nine points earlier in the game. The Lafayette upset was the fall of-a team and the fall of a coach. Marion Crawley, who master-mind-ed the Washington Hatchets to two consecutive state championships in 1941 and 1942, failed to win the sectional title in his first year at Lafayette. It was the first time Jefferson had lost a sectional title in 21 years. Monitor, a dark-horse, turned the trick over Crawley’s cagers, 41-36, when Joe Spitzhagel, Monitor ace, scored 12 points, three baskets coming in the last few minutes. Although the defeats of Evansville Bosse and Plymouth were regarded as upsets in some quarters, these two teams generally were not rated as favorites in their sectionals. Other favorites surviving yesterday’s play included: Lawrenceburg, Bedford, Richmond, New Castle, Bluffton, Beonville, Brazil, Kitchel, East Chicago Roosevelt, Princeton, French Lick, Michigan City, Lebanon, Logansport, Madison, Goshen, Terre Haute State, Warsaw and Linton.

With most favorites sticking in the running, a few of the sectionals found that a plurality of tough teams have converged in the late rounds. Hotly-fought contests were anticipated today when such bitter rivals as Bloomington and Martinsville, and Jeffersonville and New Albany meet in deciding clashes. Michigan City claimed scoring honors thus far with a 79-29 assault on Mill Creek. But the booby prize for prolific net-swishing went to Kempton in the Tipton tourney. The little Kempton sohool scored only five points against Sheridan, three of the points coming on free throws. Lafayette was - the only past champion to tumble yesterday, although Wingate and Franklin were spilled the first night. Washington’s Hatchets advanced over Loogootee, but the defending champs were not conceded a chance to repeat for the title. : Former state champions still in the race are Anderson, Ft. Wayne South Side, Lebanon, Martinsville, Hammond Tech, Washington, Bloomington, Marion, Crawfordsville, Vincennes, New Castle, Muncie, Frankfort, Thorntown and Logansport. “Perfect Marks” Advance

Cut adrift from the list of survivors are some of last year’s sectional winners, especially the dark horse champions who upset

Ray Robinson Evens Score

With La Motta

DETROIT, Feb. 27 (U, P.).—Ray (Sugar) Robinson, Harlem's une crowned king of the welterweights, headed for the army in a happy mood today after revenging himself on Jake La Motta, the rugged New Yorker who snapped the dancing dynamiter’s impressive victory string. Floored in the seventh round for an eight count, Sugar Ray fought back fiercely the rest of the way to win a close but ‘unanimous decision last night over the free-swinging middleweight. For Robinson it was retaliation against the man who handed him his only defeat in 133 amateur and professional fights. The slender Negro, who enters the army as a buck private next week, decisioned La Motta in New York last October, but the Bronx battler outpointed Robinson here three weeks ago.

Has Early Lead

A crowd of 15,149 spectators, who paid $60,700 to see the bout, watched Sugar Ray pile up an early lead principally on a stabbing left. Ia Motta’s rushing attack caught Robinson in the third, but the pride of Harlem blasted back with both hands to take the fourth. The fifth was even, but La Motta took the sixth and seventh, belting Robinson to the canvas for an eight count in the latter round. The knockdown came when La Motta swept over a crashing left to the face. Sugar Ray had trouble coming out of it, and staying on his feet, as La Motta rushed in with a fruitless attempt for 8 knockout. Then Robinson came back to win the ninth and La Motta took a slight edge in the final round.

Many Boo Decision

Many of the fans booed the decile sion. Referee Sam Hennessey gave Robinson the first, second, fourth, fifth and ninth rounds. He awarded La Motta the sixth, seventh and 10th, calling the third and eighth even. Robinson, weighed 145 pounds against La Motta’s 160%. Both fighters ree ceived 30 per cent of the gate. Charlie Hayes, Detroit middle weight, hammered out a decision over Frankie Best of Lovoia, N. Y., in the six-round semi-final. Best started strong but tired as the Dee troiter blasted him with hard right hand shots in the late rounds,
