LUCK HELPS LITTLE GIANTS; WABASH DOWNS DEPATJW
Greencastle, Ind., Feb. 19. Playing
with a rabbit foot In each hand' and with a horseshoe over the door that De
Pauw couldn t knock down with a sledge hammer, the members of the
Little Giant squad completely buried the Methodist five Saturday night, 38
to 11. From the start to the finish luck
was with, the Crawfordsvllle men. On
the other hand. DePauw, making near
1y as many shots as did the Little giants, were unfortunate In every In
stance.
There was only a few minutes at the
end of the first half that DePauw was
badly outplayed. During those few
minutes, however, the Little "Oiants
rolled up over three-fourths of their points and gained such a big lead that DePauw had no chance of overtaking
them. Hollopeter, the sturdy freshman, maintained his reputation by making every" one of De Pauw's eleven
points on three field goals and five foul
throws.
Ellis, at center, led the Little Giants in point making, scoring fourteen
points on seven field goals. Lambert
however, was a close second with six. Cloyd, who started the game at center,
played just one minute and then broke his nose In falling. His nose was broken earlier In the season, and he had just got back Into the game and
was on his first trip. .

Harbor Trust & Savings Bank, INDIANA HARBOR
New Orleans, La., Feb. 19. Johnny
Coulon of Chicago Is still the bantamweight champion of the world. The title holder disposed of his most dangerous opponent, Frankie Burns of Jersey
City, N. J., after a twenty-round contest before the West Side Athletic club yesterdayj when he was . awarded the decision. .
The fight undoubtedly was the great
est bantamweight championship battle
pulled off in the history of the game. A crowd of over 5.000 yelled and raved at Intervals when the great little boxers showed, some of the finest Queensberry stuff ever witnessed.
It was the opinion of the majority be
fore the battle that Coulon would win, as the champion was a 9 to 5 and a 2 to 1 favorite over the challenger. After the fight, however. Burns ' was
cheered to the echo, some of the spectators thinking that he either should have been given the decision or that it
should have been called a draw. !
Champion Coulon after the fight de
clined -to accept Burns' proposal for a
return match. Johnny had almost too great a task to make it a success when
he battled Burns at 116 . pounds, for
Coulon weighed only 111 and a frac
tion, while Burns barely failed to tip the beam, weighing Just a mite under
116. as stipulated In the articles. Burns
had the advantage in weight, height and reach.
It isn't likely that Coulon will ever again consent to meet Burns for twenty rounds at 116 pounds. It would be too risky. ' .: After weighing In Coulon sat in his corner surrounded by his seconds. Butns, ' however, sat in an improvised tent in another corner of the ring and sipped beef tea for half an hour, thereby gaining a little weight and strength.
Burns, of course, had no difficulty In making the 116 pounds, but his manager, Jimmy De Forest, wished to take advantage of everything, in order to give his boy more strength . for the fight. There was certainly nothing left undone by De Forest or by Burns In that regard. ' Lack of aggressiveness was the main failing of Burns. It was Coulon carrying the fight to the challenger. Instead of the challenger rushing in to annihilate the champion. In every round Coulon would force Burns back against the ropes and bore in with short arm punches for the body. Burns, on the defensive, always was working. The Jrsey City bantam uppercut to the face and worked both hands to the body many times while partly blocking the aggressive Chicago lad. Burns fought the cleaner of the two, and If he had been able to keep the
sturdy champion at a distance would have done so. Frankie's advantage of reach and . the frequent left jabs he landed on Coulon's mouth, nose and eyea-made the champion adopt rough, rushing tactics. Johnny worked systematically for the body, and also tried to wear Burns down by "lying on" Frankie In the clinches..
There -was so much infighting and so little toe to toe slugging that no knockdowns were scored. Burns slipped down while sidestepping a lead in
the twentieth round, but was' up In
stantly. Frankie was rushed almost through the ropes several times, and on one occasion Coulon almost was forced
out of the ring. Burns drew first blood, cutting Cou
Ion's Hp In the ninth round. He later drew the crimson from the. champion's
nose. Coulon, In turn, made the red
flow from his opponent's mouth.

by two points, 16 to 14. ' ' .
In the second half Hobart started oft
with a rush, their star, Fifield, making
eleven field goals. The team work was perfect and. credit must be given to Stlnchfleld and Schenck for their" excellence in this part of the game.
This gives Hobart an average of 1,000
per ' cent and they are going after the county championship. They would like to schedule games with Crown Point, Hammond, Whiting and all Lake coun

BASKETBALL GAMES. Saturday night the Notre Dame bas
ketball team were defeated by the A. S. & T. P. Co. by a score of 31-19.
On the same night the Gary high
schools freshmen took East Chicago's "goaf. by a grand roll-up of 11-7. Both games were played in the Emerson school gym.
The first half, of the Notre Dame-Tin
Plate game showed the home team the better by a score of 17-9; In the second
half the visitors began to play harder, but could not catch up with the Tin Plate fellows, having wrested victory from them by a total score of 81-19.
" The Gary freshmen vs. Bast Chicago
freshmen game was the star of the evening and seemed to arouse more class spirit than any other game played at the, Emerson school, Bast Chicago having a large number of rooters, bat they had nothing on Gary.
In the first half of the game It looked as if the teams would play out a tie, but both teams fought hard to retain the ball f under their basket, but the ball seemed to take turns in staying under the baskets. In the second half Gary decided to win and began ta pull away from the visitors very slowly,. .East Chicago rallied enough to break In several points, but Gary was playing rings around the visitors while they were rolling up for the last ttm. In, the final spurt just before the whistle blew for the finish of the game Gary left their opponents in the dust by a score of 11-7. As the rooters and Gary people who witnessed the game filed out of" the school several were heard to say. "I told you to." Everybody expected Gary talent to take both games. AD WOLGAST IS COMING EAST Milwaukee, Wis., Feb. 19. Wolgast will come to Milwaukee to prepare, to re-enter .the ring, according to a letter received here today. He has an offer of a six-round bout with some good boy at Pittsburg, and this will give him a chance to try out his ability since his operation. The champion may try out in some contests here also.

San Francisco, Feb. 19. With a threatened clash between the rival promoters, James Coffroth and Thomas O'Connell, averted by the calling off of the Freddie Wrelsh-Jack Britton twenty-round contest, interest of local fight fans has now centered in the -Frank Klaus-Sailor Petroskey bout, which Is scheduled here for. Thursday afternoon. While it is generally conceded that Petroskey tacks experience, his showing during the past couple of months has been sufficiently good to win him a considerable following, and many fight critics who have watched his work in the training camp believe he has a long chance of taking the measure of the more experienced Plttsburger. Petroskey himself is chock full of confidence. He-points to the rapid rise
