Tilt Tonight
May Decide
Title Honors
Michigan Wisconsin Clash
at Ann Arbor Is Con-
ference Feature.
BY BERT DENNY.


CHICAGO, March 4.-Climaxed
by as dramatic finish as the con-
ference ever has witnessed, the Big
Ten bask tball season entered it's
final week today, with the cham
pionship Ringing on the result of
the Michigan Wisconsin game at
Ann Arbor tonight.
BY winning, Michigan can hope
for little more than a tie for the
title, but Wisconsin victory will
give the Badgers undisputed posses
s. n {: the 1929 championship.
The Ann Arbor team has won
9 lost Q as compared with 8 won
and l lost by Wisconsin. Wisconsin
meets the weak Chicago team in its
final game of the season.
Home Floor Advantage
The Wolverines have the home
floor advantage and whatever pSy-
Geological assistance which may go
with the knowledge that they de-
feated Wisconsin earlier in the year.
Wisconsin has had a week of rest.
but Michigan playedN one of its
hardest games against Ohio Satur-
day and escaped defeat by the small
margin of 27-26.
All Big Ten teams except Wis
consin and Chicago end their
schedule tonight. In the other
games, Iowa plays at Indiana,
Minnesota meets Illinois at Cham
paign and Ohio plays Purdue at
Lafayette.
Needs Thirteen Points
Purdue has cinched third place,
but Murphy, the great Boilermaker
center, still has a chance to better
the Big Ten individual scoring
mark. Stretch" according to un-
official figures, has scored 121 points
and holds the conference lead but
still needs thirteen points to better
the record held by Johnny Miner of
Ohio State.
In the other two games Saturday,
Purdue won from Illinois, 1923. and
Chicago defeated Minnesota, 27-23.

L ALKING
IT OVER
WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEIAMI BEACH, Fla, March A.
wi In considering the grave
problems which beset the progress
of humanity the economists of the
nation should not overlook the re-
fined business of prize fighting,
What the Messrs. Morgan and
Young are doing in their lofty
capacity as interpreters OF the
financial ailments Of Europe, the
apostles of the art of beak busting
and ear scramhling are performing
for America.
The late Mr.. Tex Rickard, of
course, was responsible for this
unusual and convenient situation
inasmuch as it was his foresight
and imagination that made pos
sibIe the tremendous influence
which the manly art is now exert
ing in the field of municipal adj
vancement.
TTNTIL he decided to guarantee
= a purse of $4,000 in gold for
the Gans-Nelson fight, the town Of
Goldfield, in which he operated
various games of chance and other
enterprises Of slightly less moral
character, was just town. Gold
field doomed far beyond even the
expectations of the amateur pro-
moter and to this day it is one OF
the best known spots on the rugged
face of the state of Nevada.
1t is true that Mr.. Richard
added little to the social or ar
tistic pulift of Reno when he
moved into that city with John
son and Jeffries since great
number of misunderstood hus-
bands and neglected wives had al
ready given the community a pc
culiar permanence that was
destined to endure through the
ages.
THERE ARE OTHER INSTANCES
WHICH POINT UNMI5TAKABLY TO THE
IMPORTANCE OF PRIZE FIGHTING AS
AN ADJUNCT TO CIVILIZATION AND
THE FURTHERANCE THEREOF. AND IN
ALL OF THEM THE BROAD, HONEST
PALM OF THE LATE MR.. RICHARD LEFT
AN UNDENIABLE INIPRINT-UP TO AND
INCLUDING THE VERY RECENT STRIB-
LING SHARKEY EPISODE.
Mr.. Richards posthumOus con-
tribution to Florida probably
ranks ahead of all his achieve
ments. The Stribling- Sharkey
match which he made was the
medium of enticing more people
to the palms and pa1mettos than
had been here in the last four
years.
