Hunch Team
VIII Deliver
Crimson Five Feels It's
Due Against Purdue;
Plenty of Seats.

BIZ United Press
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Jan. 49,
Determined to stop Murphy, Harme-
son, and Captain CumminS, the
Purdue high powered offensive art
lists, Indiana university's basketball
team start intensive training today
for the invasion of the Boile-makers,
Saturday night.
Coach Dean and his squad Of ten
men returned Tuesday from the
north, where they met Minnesota
and wisconsin. Tired from the long
trip, the Hoosiers did little work
Tuesday.
Much attention Is being directed
to the first of the annual meetings
of the "Hoosier Twins" The an
Gent athletic rivalry prompts much
of the attention, as we'll as the TACT
the two Hoosier schools shared the
Western Conference hardwood title
last season.
Purdue appears to be the strong
est offensive and scoring team in
the conference. Indiana, with a
hectic early season of ups and
downs, has failed to hit the pace
of which it seems capable. 1t is
generally conceded the locals are
oue to stage a comeback, and the
fact it might come at the expense
of the Lambert-men has added
further significance to the game.
Indications are that the Crimson
field house handily will accommo-
date all Hoosier net fans desiring
to attend the battle.

Nashville Buys
Bunny Brief In
A. A. ii Years

By Times Special
MILWAUKEE, Jan. 16-Bunny
Brief, noted home run hitter, was
released today by the Milwaukee
club to Nashville of the Southern
Association. At the same time the
Brewer management turned over to
Nashville Infielder Spencer Adams,
Pitcher Roy Sanders and rookie
outfielder, Vance GRADER. The trans
action was cash deal. No strings
are attached to any of the players.
Brief will be used in the outfield
part of the time, according to Man
ager Clarence Rowland, but was
bought chiefly to act as first lieu
tenant to the former umpire.
Brief, who played in the Ameri-
can Association for fourteen years,
is expected to balk over the deal.
1t is known he wanted his uncon-
ditional release. His old friend,
Wilbur Good, manager of the At
lanta club, was willing to give him
job, and it is understood he would
have gone there if Milwaukee had
not released him to Nashville. Brief

during which time he hit ninety-f1ve

A real champion is coming to the

been announced by Major Greene.
legion matchmaker. Sammy Man
dell, king of the lightweights, is the
lad obtained to box for the enter
tainment of Indianapolis fight fans.
He will meet Joe Azzarella, Mil
waukee, in the ten-round main go at
catchweights, the title, of course, not
being at stake for a two dollar
top"
Azzarella is rated strong enough
to give the champ some action, how
ever, for the Milwaukee boy has
been showing good form recently
and on Monday pleased Chicago
scribes by handing decisive beat
ing to Hershie Wilson in eight
rounds.
Anderson Groggy
The main go at the Armory Tues
day night ended with the hall in an
uproar. Eddie Anderson won the
scrap on points from Lou Terry, be-
cause Eddie was by far the better
boxer, but in the ninth Terry caught
Andy with alright to the chin and
nearly scored a knockdown.
Eddie was dazed, but saved him
self by ring generalship as the over
anxious Terry tried for a haymaker.
Sensing thrill, the fans howled
with glee, but Terry was unable to
do serious damage in the tenth and
finished on the short end, because
Anderson had piled up lead in the
early rounds. Lou proved game all
the way and made good fight out
of it despite the fact he stopped
many left hooks and right crosses.
There was plenty of action in the
semi windup between AL
De Rose and Bobby Allen, the for
ner winning on points. The boys
were in fine shape and there were
few idle moments. The punching
was good throughout.
Results of other Tuesday scraps
follow:
Bud De Haven outpointed Billy Moore,
six rounds. 1t was all De Haven, Moore
covering too much; De Haven said he
hurt his, right hand, in the second round,
but went ahead and won with ease.
