The Gary high school basketball team last night defeated Bast Chicago CHy "by a score of 31 to 14, in a brisk game played at East Chicago high gymnasium. The game started with a rush and was fast the wh,ole way through. Gary started out by keeping the ball under their basket and retaining it there through most of the game. When the whistle blew for the ending of the first half the score stood 15 to 12 in favor of Gary. At times in the first half things looked doubtful for Gary, when East'Chlcago tied her and even went a point ahead. The second half opened up much like the first, but the East Chicago boys could not find their basket, missing several throws where they had no one to break the same. The latter part of the game had not progressed far when East Chicago saw that something must be done. They called time and put in a sub, hut even that failed to check Gary or add to their score, and they put in another, having two freshman.
while the Gary five had played the whole game and were showing signs of fatigue. Ten minutes before time for the whistle to blow ending the
game Gary had rolled ' up ' ten points and East Chicago only one. made on a free throw. Even at that East Chicago did not give up. but stuck to the game o the finish and fought hard to the
finish, getting one more point on
free throw. The storekeepers added
up their total and they found that the
score stood 31 to 14 In favor of Gary
Xo criticism was heard about Gary
throughout the game, but rather praise.
Thatcher starred continually. Hake made a basket from the middle of the hall which won applause from all sides
of the hall. He tried It again when he
could have passed it to another un
guarded man and missed. The lineup: East Chicago Collins, center; Wil Hams, forward; Gardner. forward Rlppetoe. guard; Martin, guard.
Gary Thatcher, forward; Lahn, forward; Hake, center;. Knotts, guard; Phillips, guard.

LARSON AND GARY BOX DRAW
Chuck Larson and Tommy Gary' fought ten. fast rounds to a draw before 500 ring fans at Chicago Heights last night. Gary, perhaps, had a slight shade on the clean work, but Iarson was the more willing worktr and had more steam behind his punches. Although the admirers of each man left the arena claiming victory for their favor!:, a draw was the only fair decision. ....... Gary startad out like a sure winner. He had the advantage in the first two rounds and perhaps was entitled to a slight shade in the third. Larson then began, rushing the fight and earned the advantage in both the fourth and fifth sessions. tn a hot rally In the fifth, Larson shot a hard uppercut to Gary's Jaw,
flooring Tommy, -who Jumped to his
feet just as the hell rang without tak
ing a count. Gary showed the effects of the punch in the sixth round and
missed repeatedly, while I-irson shot
short, telling punches to the body.
Gary showed at his best in the sev
enth. A hard right to the face drew
blood from the nose and mouth. Lar
son was " plainly stung and Gary ap
peare-d to be winning. He came out at the start. of the eighth with instructions to finish his man. Iarson covered up well and caught Gary with a hard right swing on the Jaw as Tommy rushed In.
This changed the complexion of the fight. Both slugged away furiously
during the remainder of the round, and
both were covered with blood at the close. The ninth and tenth periods were fairly even, with Gary stalling
most of the time.
Ruby Husch had the advantage over Sweeney In eight rounds, while Jimmy Carroll and Kid Carlos went three
rounds to a draw.
About five hundred ring fans saw the show, the special train taking out 200
from Chicago.
off the match, then it is off. Johnny
says he has the authority. But Thtry may show Johnny where he is wrong. Interesting developments are expected.
"Paekey boxes Erne Feb. 7 In Phila
delphia," said Johnny last night, "and
gets a $1,200 guarantee for It. He gets no guaranteo at Kenosha, so why should he box Murphy five days before
he meets Erne. South Bend has offered more than Kenosha tor the fight, any
way. He can box Murphy after the Erne fight If he wants to, but the Kenosha date' is off." - There have been whispers that the McFarland camp feared Murphy's prowess. They may or may not be true. Then no tickets have been printed and
no articles signed for a bout billed to take place a week frotn last night. The Erne fight was closed by Thiry after he had agreed to take the Kenosha offer. The deal looks peculiar from all sides except the Murphy one. Murphy wants to fight ackey as , badly as the small boy wants ice cream in the summer time. If he loses this match it will be a hard blow.

with Eddie Murphy, set for decision at Kenosha next Friday night. Emil Thiry, who ostensibly is Packey's manager, in a letter to Murphy's manager, Mickey McBride, a tew days ago, averred the match was as good as closed, and that he would sign articles next Monday noon. A wire from Thiry last night confirmed his stand. So Johnny McFarland's announcement threw everybody around here up in the air. All thought the match a certainty.
