TIRRIN'
the DOPE

By vEDDER g ARD

The smallest crowd of the season.
i. A large part of the gathering
was Butler students, WHO whooped
it up for their fellow student.
Mulholland wore blue and white
boxing trunks-"Yea, Butler!" =.
Coaches IIinkle and Middlesworth
occupied seats on the stage and
appeared keenly interested in the
proceedings.
A sprinkling Of fair goods, APP
parently considering their fling at
the f1stic sport rather devilish,
was on hand. Il. The bold hussies!
This Mulholland lad has quite
an impressive retinue-a manager,
a press representative and train
err. All he needs now is social
secretary to be in Red Oranges or
Carpenters class.
Smart old Soldier Buck seemed.
content to just breeze along and
let the local pride cop all the APP
plause which his wild rushes
evoked. 1t was just another
days work for the veteran soldier.
Another day another dollar
from the looks of the thinly popu-
lated ringside section).
Eddie Weber skipped lightly
through the whole proceedings,
fitting daintily around the ring
for all the world like one of those
anesthetic dancers (Irs. Malaprop
take note).
MAWonder where Michael de Mitch
IND Jimmy da Cool were last
night? Suave, debonair and COM
handing, Harry Geisel, big league
jumps, got strict attention when he
announced by merely raising fin
ger How he must miss the pop
bottlesi
OFT Ray, former car Of things
flstic in this city, mingled freely
with the common peepul, Of whom
he is now one. 4. There were no
speeches made from the ring on be-
half of the new boxing commits
sion. What shamel
Plez Oliver broadcast from the
rear row, west side, main floor,
station BULL. :. If boxers would
only follow the advice hurled in
their direction by the irrepressible
Plez, they'd all be champions.
Wonder if the round boy who
puts up the numbers trains for his
job? His seriousness is worthy of
a grander purpose.
Geisel announced the coming
amateur city championships at
Turner hall on Feb. s and 3, and
there were murmurs of There's
where you'll see the fighting" :.
Wonder what became Of the big
bunch of lilies that used to hang
over the ring at Tomlinson hall?
The emblem of purity!
Arthur Paetz, Turner match
maker, was on hand to follow the
fortunes of Jimmy Dalton, Turner
boxing coach. And Jimmy
made a showing that surprised the
fans. There seems to be some
fighting left in the little Italian.
Two girl friends of the boy who
amnpt cooled in the first round of the
7 econd bout wept copiously and
retired from the scene of carnage
to comfort their boy friend. AS
this is stark realism which is al
ways supposed to end with tragedy
that's all.
A short while back, in the
greyhound races at Miami, the
feature contest of the program
was won by Freddie Parton, a
very consistent hound" Fred
dies performance was particu-
larry noteworthy because the me
ehanicaI rabbit which the dogs
follow jumped the track. While
the other dogs were tanning up
on the turn and wondering what
It was all about, Freddie kept ON
going to win. He deserved at
least an extra bone for supper.
TT JUST when everyone started
to get excited about that
4J Chicago defense which held
Purdue without a field goal in the
first half and Illinois to IA points
and five field goals in full game,
along come the Gophers and up
set the Maroons.
And now it seems as though
there is no great secret about
Coach Norgren's methods. Accord
ing to the Big Ten Weekly, ne did
not use the same style to break up
Purdue and Illinois attacks.
Against the BOiIermalers' long
pass, man-to-man defense was
used, which smothered Cramer,
who was laying back in an eff
fort to receive the long toss and
Ay'tip the ball to forward or guard
daslling down the floor.
Purdue won out in the final pc.
Rod by a dribbling attack and
Spradling's determined rushes
through the center of the Chicago
wall
Against the Illinois short pass,
cr.iss-crOss style twO-line five
man defense was used, which
stood almost impregnable. The
tidal waves of the Illinois 0ffens-
i've dashed in vain against the
buIwarIx to break harmlessIy,
the concentrated force scattered
hitler and thither.
There Is one thing in favor OF
tho Michigan basketball team this
season. The Wolverines do not
meet Indiana or Purdue in the Big
Ten schedule. We hear an echo
from Ann Arbor-"Yes, and it's a
good thing the Hoosiers don't meet
our boys" Maybe so, maybe So
We don't feel like arguing today.
The examinations are over to-
day I'm a number Of the State col.
