/ and it really looked as if Indiana
beat Purdue-Monday night. In
other words the tough game with
the Hoosiers Saturday night took
too much out of the Boilermakers
and they did not have enough left
to stand off the magnificent drive
OF the great Badger squad.
Bye, Bye Free Throws
Both teams registered nine goals
from the field during the encoun-

Piggy Lambert, Purdue's bas-
ketballing boss, started freak
lineup and Harmeson, CumminS and
Sleight quickly took a 5-to-1 lead
for the Boilermakers. The Purdues
ran it up to 10, but the elongated
Tenhopen, a great basketballer if
there ever was one, started firing
away.
Tenhopen's three field goals and
two free throws by Foster tied the
count at IL as Cummins also
dropped in a free throw. The mod

free throws and promptly appealed
for time out, got it, and raced off

ended.
Wisconsin rushed the score to Is

meson'S two rapid fire field goals
and free throw tied the count and
Schnaiter sent the home boys into
a short-lived 20-to-18 lead. The
Badgers got bold and bad once again

began looking around for another
opponent to pit against the cham
pion in the "SecoEd battle of the
century"
Firpo Brought Out
About this time he saw the crude
South American, Luis Firpo. in &C
ton and he Immediately began lay
ing his plans to smoke up Firpo
for a bout with Dempsey.
There's a fellow who'd draw an
other million dollar gate if I could
get him in the ring with Dempsey"
Richard said.
1t was during the period between
the Battle of the Century" and the
Dempsey irpo fight that Tex Rick
ard achieved general recognition as
the greatest of modern promoters.
During the two years that inter
vened between those epic fights, Tex
was constantly in the limelight,
recognized now as dictator by the
pugilistic fraternity but still to win
financial backing which little later
was to make him a millionaire as
well. The development of another
opponent for Jack Dempsey was
Richards chief concern during the
year 1922. The big South Ameri-
can, Luis Angel Firpo, having been
decided upon, the problem then be-
came twofolc.
Set-ups for Opponents
Firpo had to be 's.bally-hooed" as
no heavyweight contender save
Carpenter ever had been, and he
had to be brought along carefully
with Skillful selection of oppon-
entS, so that he might not acct
dentally be knocked as fiat as his
native pampas.
THE Wild Bull" towering,
unkempt, shaggy-haired creature,
swept aside all the chosen opponents
with q wave of his mighty right
hand. Firpo's tactics were to rush
grimacing from his corner and hurl
his whole tremendous bulk upon his
opponent behind a crushing right
hand blow.
1t was obvious that the South
American was what is known in
ring parlance as "a sucker for a left
hook But Tex saw to it that the
skilled left-hookers were kept well
away from Firpo, whose awkward
ness and lack of defense were mini
mixed by the "balIyhoo" artists, who
played up the savage, destructive
rush Of THE Wild Bull Of the

By NEA Service
NEW ORLEANS, La. Jan. 22.-It
will be just too bad for Jack Shar-
key when Young Stribling fights

That's the opinion of Martin

in recent months, and who fought
Gene Tunney twice and has served
as Jack Dempsey's sparring partner.
"Stribling will stop Sharkey,'a he
says. Tn fact, he can stop any of
them.
He has improved wonderfully in
recent months. He has good heavy
punch and is quick to deliver it. 1

TIME Dempsey Carpenter bout
4 ushered in the golden era OF
boxing and was the forerunner to
Richards subsequent $2,o00,000 gate
Dempsey was guaranteed $S00,OOO
for the Carpenter bout, but actu-
ally received half a million, his per-
centage swelling the figure. Car
pentiers sum of 100000 as the loser
was larger than any other single
purse received by a boxer up to that
time
Besides the financial angle, the
Dempsey Carpenter bolt was not
able for the fact that !. attracted
the socially prominent to a prize
fight in large numbers for the first
time. 1t was the first large GoS-
mopolitan fight crowd, in which
millionaires rubbed elbows with the
rank and file of boxing followers.
Trouble Over Movies
Shortly after the Dempsey
Carpenter bout Richard got into
trouble with the government over
the transportation of TIE moving
pictures of the fight frsnl NeH' Ler-
Sey to New York. Despite a warm
ing from the government. the
films were shown in Broadway
movie houses. The case dragged
through the courts, but Rickard was
finally convicted and fined $1,000.
In August. 1920. the New York
state legislature passed the Walker
boxing bill, allowing decisions and
fifteen round bouts in New York
state. Richards influence was in
strumental in the passage of the
bin legalizing boxing in New York
state.

ison Square Garden July IS, 1920
and on Aug. organized the Madi-
son Square Garden Sporting Club

sion contest was beld in New York

WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Within
IN the next several weeks you will
il you care to, hear of Ed (Stran-
cler) Lewis on the mat with Gus
Sonnenberg, the reformed football
star, in one of those quaint little en-
terprises known as wrestling match
for the championship of the world.
Lewis and Sonnenberg have met
on two previous occasions, with
Lewis triumphing in the first and
Sonnenberg in the second. AS a
result of this even distribution OF
IaureIs a poignant situation has
been created which makes it viz
tually compulsory for the two gen.
tIemen to come together again in
a third match.
THERE ARE SINISTER wHISPERINGS
AF1oAT THAT LEWIS AND SONNEN-
BERG ARRIVED AT THEIR PRESENT
LINGERING STATE OF UNDETERMINED
SUPERIORITY THROUGH THE FAR
sIGHTEDNESs OF PROPORTIONAL
GENIUS WITH VISIONS OF A REAwAK-
EHED INTEREST IN THE GAME HERE
AND A CAPACITY CROWD AT THE GAR
DEN.
,NNE Of the charming traits Of
~ your correspondent is his
sublime faith in all characters iden-
titled with professional sports and
when he is told it was nothing more
than an interesting coincidence that
Lewis should lose to Sonnenberg
after having conquered him in an
earlier match, he believes it.
Of course it is pertinent to in
quire why any wrestling match
should be conducted on strictly
scrupulOus lines in view of the
generally accepted belief that the
only interesting wrestling matches
are the ones in which the result is
agreed on before the bIubbery boys
waddIe into the ring.
I MEAN TO SAY THAT IF THE PA
IRONS OF WRESTLING WANT THEIR
MATCHES LOADED WITH MOCK aero
BATICS AND A SLIGHT TINCTURE OF
LAMcENY IT WOULD SEEM A BIT
IDIOTIC FOR THE PROMOTER TO
GIVE THEM ANYTHING ELSE.
