{McVeigh Doesn't Pay Any Attention to Those Catcalls.

They Hated to Close the Old Shop

“Begorra, it's like breaking up our home, oui! oui!” they chorused in the delightful patois ot the deep South. . By way of explanation it appears the boxing commissioners feared Jack and Montgomery were involved in something approaching a monopoly on the lightweight title and took official action to impose It will be all right for Montgomery to defend his title but next Jue it must pe against Sammy Angott, an arrangement which some say is better than’ nothing but which we think that’s open

In making their swan song. at least for March, Jack and Montgomery evidenced a determined reluctance to close the old shop. They went all the way, 15 rounds, in an earnest, bruising fight and at the finish there wasn't a great deal to choose between them. Qur score card read eight, six and one even in favor of the sadeyed Philadelphian with the washboard ribs and was supported by There were protests from some of the addicts that the fight was too close to take a championship away.

It was on these obvious circumstances that the Jack master minds based their strategy. Montgomery would be gun shy because of the knockout; he would be weak because of his struggle with the flesh. What to do? Why tear right into him from the start and overwheim him. Jack tried this but it didn't work;

After the second round the Jack master minds (Sic!) apparently decided it would be smarter to wear Montgomery down (weak from the weight, you know) and then knock him out, so they sent him out jabbing. It so happens Jack's conception of a jab is something that ‘would make a Tunney or a Louis burst out laughing.

Iowa Is Only A Game From

Share of Title

CHICAGO, March 4 (U. P).— Those amazing kids from Iowa, who have made .a “youth must serve” situation a pleasant experience for wartime basketball, were only -one game from a Big Ten title today. Coach “Pops” Harrison's all-civil-fan Jowa team, rated a seconddivision finisher in pre-season estimates, last night toppled Northwestern, early-season favorites, 4539. The Hawkeyes must repeat that performance tonight to wind up their season in a first-place tie with Ohio State. In the only other Big Ten contest last .night, Illinois defeatetd Minnesota, 50-32, and needed another triumph Over the below-par Gophers to wind up the season in a sixth-place tie with Michigan.

After Scoring Honors

Towa began to close a net around individual scoring honors as well as team awards when Freshman Dick Ives tallied 14 points to bring his conference-leading total to 192 and Dave Danner registered 15 points to move into second place ahead of Ohio State’s Arnold Risen and Don Grate with 185 points. The Hawkeyes proved they had the spirit of which champions are made by overcoming an early Northwestern lead, then rallying to a 23-23 tie at intermission. Northwestern retaliated to gain a 35-32 lead after five minutes of the final half, but Ives and Ned Postles sparked the Iowans to a lead they never again lost. Neither team was able to build up a margin of more than 5 points until the final minute.

Cnall Schools Seek Upsets

More than 60,000 fans were expected to jam the 16 regional centers today and tonight as 64 sectional

flight of eliminations in the annual Indiana high school basketball tournament, Capacity ‘crowds seemed assured at each center as demand for tickets outstripped supply, according to reports from school principals in charge of the regionals, Practically all centers offered good contests, evenly-matched and with good possibilities that outsiders might. come through to victory. The state's two top-ranking schools—Anderson ‘and New Castle— were favored in their regionals, but both were wary of upsets, since Indianapolis Howe displayed confidence that it could measure the Andersonites in an afternoon game at Indianapolis, while Muncie Burris threatened New Castle,

Upset Possibilities

Small schools saw possibilities of upsets in each regional, and apparently fans held strong hopes of the same thing, since each small school has avidly snapped up its quota of tickets. The ‘continued and abiding interest in high school basketball bore out early-season predictions that the 1943-44 season would be one of the best from the standpoint of fan support. Wartime curtailment of travel, and the elimination of many other tvpes of entertainment from the cities turned attention to high school basketball, which was little touched by the war.

Few Vacant Seats

Several teams have lost men to the armed services since the tournament began, but for the whole season the teams remained intact, as in peacetime, and youthfulness is a natural part of the high school sport, Adding the seating capacities of all of the 16 regional gymnasiums shows a total of more than 60,000, and there apparently would be few vacant seats when the referee tosses the first ball up in the center circle for afternoon play.

Handball Tourney Finals Scheduled

John Corriden will oppose John Bretinoiu at 7 p. m. Tuesday in the championship round of the handicap handball tournament at the Central Y. M. C. A. Corriden eliminated Edward Rose, 21-14, 21-15, and Bretinoiu dedefeated Norman Brody, 21-17,

'|21-14, in the semi-finals.

Corriden will have a seven-point advantage in the finals, the difference between his handicap of nine and Bretinoiu's handicap of two. Entries are being accepted for the

‘lannual Y. M. C. A. doubles tourna-

ment, on a scratch basis with no

ably will start March 11.

CHICAGO, March 4 (U. P).— Camp Grant's warriors defeated Notre Dame, 63-47, last night in a listless game that was marked only by Leo Klier's 22 points, which gave him a total of 292 for the season and a new Notre Dame season record. Johnny Molr set the old season mark with 290 points in the 1938

— _Iseason, playing in 21 games. Klier

has played only 19 games this season. The Warriors lost little time in getting under way, paced by the early sharpgbooting of Stan Szukala and Johnny Niemiera, who accounted for 29 points between them during the game. Camp Grant had a 30-22 lead at the end of the first half and con'tived to pile up its advantage after a slow start in the second half.
