BOWLING
NEWS OF THE DAY IN
L U. Grapplers Win
Over Kentucky Team
in Decisive Style
Hoosiers Win Three Matches
by Falls and Gain De
cisions in Two.
By HEZE CLARK.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Feb. 11.—Coach
Jack Reynolds’ Indiana University grap
plers won the wrestling tournament here
last night, defeating the University of
Kentucky by the score of 28 to 12. There
Were seven matches between the Indiana
and Kentucky athletes Indiana mat
men won three of these matches by
falls, and obtained a decision in two
of the bouts. Kentucky secured a de
cision in two matches, winning the 125-
pound and 130-pound class.
The men from Kentucky were unaccus
tomed to the Big Ten Conference rules,
having always worked under the South
ern Conference rules, which divides the
wrestling time in three five-minute peri
ods. The Conference rules provide for
a twelve-minute wrestling period, and
if necessary to decide the-bout, the con-'
testants wrestle two overtime periods of
three minutes each.
The matches last night brought out
some spirited contests and clever work
by the mat men of both universities. In
the first bout the men weighed in at
115 pounds. Parr of Indiana and Waits
of Kentucky mixed it in fast style and
both were in close places two or three
times as they rolled about the mat. Then
Parr got a half-Nelson and body lock
on the Kentucky athlete and pinned
Waits’ shoulders to the mat in 9 min
utes and 22 seconds.
In the next two matches Kentucky
wrestlers appeared strong. Cunningham
of Indiana met Maddox of Kentucky and
thev weighed 125 pounds. It required
two over-timejperlods for Maddox to win
a decision. The Kentucky athlete was
behind Cunningham less than two min
utes. , ,
Stitch of Kentucky proved to be an
aggressive, fast mat man. The husky
1.. mmd wrestler kept Hoffman of In
diana busy and Stitch won a decision
Sauer of Indiana made quick work of
Winter of Kentucky in the 145-pound
class. Sauer won a fall in five minutes
and seventeen seconds. Sauer proved too
fast and clever for his opponent.
Girls’ State Tmirney
DES MOINES, low*, Feb. 11.—A
State basket-ball tournament, for girls
will be held March 3 and 4 at lowa
Falls, it was announced today by
Prof. W. A. Fhalman, principal of
lowa Falls schools. It is planned that
this meet dill take the place of the
annual Drake tournament for girls,
which will not be held this year.
One of the most interesting bouts of
the night was the 158-pound class, which
brought together Lucas of Indiana and
Atkin of Kentucky. Akin worked hard,
but the powerful Lucas wag clever and
slipped behind the Kentucky mat man
early in the match and remained there
during most of the bout. Lucas won a
decision.
The real feature of the wrestling con
tests was the work of Enlow of Ken
tucky, known as one of the best heavy
weight wrestlers in the South and a man
who gained much mat experience by
wrestling while in the Army. Enlow is
a powerfully built athlete who knows
how to wrestle, but he attempted what he
could not do successfully and that was
to throw both Held and Murnby of In
diana. In making the attempt he won the
applause of the Indian;* University wrest
ling fans.
W. Delbert Funkhouser, chairman of
the faculty athletic committee, and well
known to followers of athletics In In
diana when he played football and other
athletic games at Wabash College twenty
years ago, and later was in athletics at
Cornell University, was in charge of the
Kentucky team. With the score 22 to 12
in favor of Indiana, Funkhouser knew
that it would be necessary for his teuui
to win both the 175-pound match and the
heavyweight match to win the wrestling
tourney. Kentucky had two men for
these events, but one was anew man Just
starting the wrestling game and the
other man was Enlow. one of the best
In all Southland. Funkhouser decided to
let Enlow try to win both matches.
In the 175 pound class Enlow started
to take it easy, believing himself to be a
sure winner In that bout. Held of In
diana got behind his Kentucky rival and
it was with great difficulty that Enlow
got back on his feet after more than
three minutes. Then Enlow threw Held,
but both athletes were off the mat and
the fall did not count and the men were
brought back to the center of the mat,
with Enlow on top. Held slipped from un
der his opponent and the man got back on
their feet and were in that position when
time was called. Held of Indiana won the
decision.
Mumby of Indiana, one of the best
heavyweight wrestlers ever developed at
that school, lound the going rough with
Enlow ss an opponent. Eleven minutes
passed and neither man had been off his
feet. Then Mumby secured a body hold
on the Kentucky heavyweight and forced
him to the mat. A half-nelson turned
him over and Mumby pinned Enlow in
eleven minutes and seventeen seconds.

HE LOVES GAME—FOR MONEY.
Buck Herzog says he loves the game
so well he •vould play It for nothing, but
nobody ever accused him of missing a
chance to get the money. He managed to
shake about $12,000 out of the Columbus
and Louisville clubs last season. He
played good ball, but was such an expen
sive proposition that both clubs decided
to shake him.

Ever hear some duffer use a lot of
words not found in our best dictionaries
: when describing a certain brand of balls
after he has cut one through tha cover?
| Invariably he insists that they are soft
as mush or they wouldn't cut so easily,
but he is disillusioned, for they are not
soft, but hard Instead. It seems out
rageous to make the statement that a
hard ball will cut easily while a soft
golf ball will stand a lot of topped Iron
shots without the cover being cut, but
nevertheless It is quite true. Out of
twenty-live or thirty leading brands ol
balls there will be found but a alight
variation in the rubber stock used in
making the covers, but Just get inside
once and you will find each ball made
differently, with different size rubber
windings and all sorts of sized centers. {
A ball that is wound tight Inside be
comes very hard and lively, and ii Is
unquestionably possible to make one ball
fly farther by a sow yards than another
by winding it verja tight, yet that same
ball with a like cover will cut many
times easier than one wound not ao
tight. The center is hard and the cover
soft and when the hard surface of an
iron club Is smashed down on the ball,
something must give. There Is nothing
i left to give but the cover, which is
caught In between the two hard sub
stances, hence the big nick la the result.
On the other hand, the ball with a
softer winding and certer with the same
grade of cover stock used in covering It
will not cut because the center gives a
trifle when tha heavy Iron head beats l

Chicago Skate Star
Leads Pack in Race
for Diamond Medal
LAKE PLACID, N. Y., Feb. 11—Wil
liam Stelnmetz of Chicago virtually
clinched the title of amateur skating ace
of America late Friday by winning the
440-yard dash and finishing second in
the three quarter mile race, the second
day events on the card of the diamond
trophy championship.
These two events gave the Chicago
flash a total of 110 points. Charles
Jewtraw of Lake Placid was next with
55 points.
Stelnmetz won the 440 In the fast time
of 13SV*. Jewtraw of Lake Placid was
a pressing second, and Charles Gorman
of St. John, N. B , was third. Jewtraw
led until fifty yards fro* the mark, when
Stelnmetz burst from the pack and won
by a nose. Roy McWhirter of Chicago
finished fourth, and Joe Moore of New
York was a close* fifth.
The final event was to be held today,
but Stelnmetz' lead looked big enough
to land the diamond medal.
In order for Stelnmetz to lose the
title Jewtraw would have to win both
the half and three mile races today and
the Chicago man fail to get a place.

never have we met up with a player who

Indianapolis amateurs ’xno expect to

A suggestion which we have to offer to
those who expect to compete In this

several weeks before the tournament
starts. Quiet smoking and get lots of

the highest order. Get out your niblicks

you are going to need It with some of

Earlham Upsets Dope
by Downing the Baptists
RICHMOND, Ind., Feb. 11.—The
Franklin College basket-ball team, an
in-and-outer in the college net race this
year, was “out*' again last night and
\lropped a victory to the fighting Earl
hamltes by a score of 37 to 25.
Franklin by virtue of a victory over
Wabash was a heavy favorite before the
game, but the Quakers were at their best
and fought with a determination that
was not to be denied. The score at half
time was 25 to 12, Earlham.
Hadley. Hinshaw and Townsend, with
four field goals a piece, and Goar with
three and five foul tosses, formed an
evenly balanced and smooth running of
fensive combination that the Baptists
were powerless to halt. Beasely at back
guard kept the opposing point-getters at
bay. For Franklin Records shone best
with five from the field, while Peterman
counted four times with two-pointers.
The Baptists were noticeably weakened
by the absence of Friddle.

SWIMMING
Pitcher Was So Good the
Coach Withdrew Him to
Make Game Interesting
Troy Puckett, “the big fellow,” former
star pitcher of the Wabrsh College nine,
was a visitor In the city Thursday and
Friday, having come down from his home
at Winchester. “Puck" used to throw
about the fastest spitball seen around
these parts and in one season he jumped
from Class D to the big leagues.
After “breezing ’em’ ’’ over the plate
for the Scarlet for three seasons Puckett
joined the Paducah Kitty League team
and in two mont is he was purchased
by the Philadelphia Nationals. He
finished the fall st ison with the Phillies,
rejoined them the following spring, but
when a sore arm developed he took up
a business venture and gave up the
league game.
When in college Puckett was assigned
to hurl against a visiting Chinese uni
versity team one day and he had such
terrific speed that .the coach had to
withdraw him In order to make the
game Interesting. The Chinks apparent
ly hadn't seen so much “smoke” before
and they were reluctant about standing
up to the plate.

KANSAS GIVES
CHAMP SCARE
Rocky Forces Leonard to
Limit, Benny Gaining De
cision After 15 Rounds.
NEW YORK, Feb. 11.—Benny Leonard
still wears his crown as lightweight
champion today, but it doesn’t set a*
firmly In place as it once did.
The Bronx boy who has been hailed as
the greatest boxer the lightweight di
vision ever knew, was extended to his
utmost last night to win a fifteen-round
decision orer Rock Kansas of Buffalo.
A terrific left hook that caught Kansas
flush on the jaw and sent him sprawling
on the canvas in the eleventh round
really decided the fight in Leonard’s
favor. The smash daz?d the Buffalo
mauler and he took the full count of nine.
The champion tried hard to score a
knockout following the knockdown, hat
Kansas stood him off.
For the first seven rounds Kansas elec
trified the great crowd of 15,000 spec
tators that jammed historic Maduon
Square Garden by cuffing the titleholder
as though he were a mere second rater.
Leonard apparently could not get going.
A hard left hook which Kansas iandect
on the champion’s jaw in the second
round may have been partly responsible.
At any rate, Kansas p,led up a big lead
In the first half of the fight by constantly
flailing Leonard with both oands. The
crowd gazed in amazement as the squatty
Buffalo fighter tore into Leonard and
drove him back with lefts to the jaw
and rights to the body.
Leonard's punches in 'the early rounds
carried no steam. As early as the fourth
round Kansas drew blood by belting the
champion's nose. A few times the title
holder looked positively gory as Kansas’
left jabs brought the blood spurting from
his nose.
Leonard came to life In the eighth
round and began to fight viciously. After
that he began to win a shade, but Kan
sas still fought him hard.
In the eleventh round Leonard sud
denly hooked his left to the jaw with all
the power he had behind it. Kansas
went down as though hit with a mallet.
When the referee's count reached nine
Kansas slowly stood up. Leonard went
after him, cautiously, but In a deter
mined manner. Kansas, however, aougbt
refuge in clinches and weathered out the
round. The last four rounds were all
Leonard’s, although Kansas kept plug
ging away. The knockdown apparently
gave the champion encouragement, for
after that he fought in a more deter
mined manner.
The gate receipts amounted to $125,-
967.60. Kansas, it was reported, received
a guarantee of $17,000. Leonard’s share
is believed to have been about $40,000.
