LENGTHY MURPHYS
IN BASKET BATTLE
Meet as Purdue Strives to
End Long Streak of 10y.
ola Quintet.
BY WILLIAM WEEKS.
Associated Press anorts Writar.

~HICAGO, January 80 R).-The
Battle of the Murphys'-
Charlie of Purdue and Charlie
of Loyola-will be held on Pur-
dues basket ball court tonight.
The Murphy boys-both playing at
center, both giants, and both ranked
among the outstanding basket ball play
ers of the country-will lead their teams
in the standout game of the Western
season.
Not only will Loyola be battling for
victory over a high-ranking foe, but
the Ramblers will be fighting to extend
their remarkable string of triumphs to
35 straight. Included in the record are
victories over Montana State College
and Butler, both conquerors Of Purdue
this season. The Montana State and
Butler setbacks, however, were suffered
long before the Boilermakers attained
the form that moved them to the top Of
the Western Conference heap.
The contest will bring together two
widely different styles of basket ball.
Purdue will stick to its driving offenSe
and man-to-nan defense, seeking plenty
Of shots. Loyola has perfected zone
defense and stalling offense to q point
where opponents have been able to do
no better than come close since late in
the season Of 1928. Coach Leonard
Sachs of Loyola has drilled his men
to set to shoot, or to withhold their FIRE
until a drive carries the ball under the
hoop.
This system has enabled Loyola to
score $50 points, to 544 for opponents,
during its current winning streak-an
average of % to Is. The Ramblers will
start with Mike Waesco and Tommy
Flynn at forwards, Murphy at center
and Bob Schuhmann and Dick Butzen
at guards. All except Flynn are vet
Grams.
After losing to Montana State and
Butler, Purdue started to click and de-
feated Michigan, % to 10, and North
western by 80 to ~. The Boilermakers'
lineup probably will have Glen Harme-
son and Vic Gibbins at forwards
Stretch" Murphy at Center and feet
Johnny Wooden and Herman Boots at
guards.
Two other games will fill out the Big
Nine card for the week. Tomorrow night
Michigan will seek its second victory of
the week in meeting Chicago at Chi
cago, and Ohio State will seek its second
straight over Minnesota at Minneapolis
Saturday night.

A four letter man, guarding

THE action of the New York

ing the Campolo- Risko soirse

what the drama critiqueS in

That august body, it is

which there was a discrepancy
Of more than twice that
amount Of avoirdupois; but,
barking back a decade, how
about that party in the sun
baked arena of Toledo's Maui
NEE Bay when ]. Dempsey and
j. Willard collided.
If the 187-pound Jack of
1919 had been ruled too frail
to face the 245-pound Jess
boxing history would have to
be slightly revised.
And speaking of Dempsey
brings to mind another odd
one pulled by the New York
Commission, which seems con-
Sistent in being funny, regard
less Of who Is serving on it.
This was some four or five
years ago when it barred
Dempsey from meeting Tunney
on the ground Gene was not
a proper person" to fight him
for the championship.
Tunney subsequently demon
Strated, not once, but twice,
that he was Dempsey's su-
perior while Harry Wills, whom
the commission sought to force
Dempsey to meet, later proved
an easy victim in four rounds
for the awkward Pauline, at
that time a mere tyro.
Base ball in Boston must be
picking up. Fans there are
getting quite q kick out Of the
fact that both the Red Sox and
Braves can boast Of a hold-out,
the athletes in question being
Ed Morris and Rabbit Maran-
vile, respectively.

Much at Stake Tech Western Came YaeS Baced Outlook B
ON THE SIDE LINES
With the Sports Editor
BY DENMAN THOMPSON

A THOUGH one of the
~ criticisms of base ball as
II it Is played nowadays,
4 = compared with a score
Of years ago, is that too many
men get into action, nearly
every suggestion for a revision
Of the code to improve" the
paStime involves aggravating
the situation.
This is true Of John Arnold
Heydler'S pigeonholed plan for
teams Of 10 men, as well as
Of the proposal just made by
Emil Fuchs. The president Of
the Boston Braves evidently
inspired by watching profess
sional hockey games, suggests
that instead of having q ball
player put out Of the game for
objecting to decisions the rules
be altered so that he could
merely be benched for a couple
Of innings.
What with the current prac-
tice Of frequently changing
pitchers, strengthening outf1eld
defense to protect leads and
drawing generously on benches
cluttered with reserves, includ-
ing pinch hitters, modern
games frequently see the use of
Is or more men by each team.
Fuchs plan obviously would
tend to increase the number of
performers employed, but that
is not the chief objection to 1t.
It strikes us as being unsound
principally because it would
encourage umpire batting, the
suppression of which has ac-
counted more than any other
one thing for the advancement
Of the national pastime since
Ban Johnson blazed the trail
with the advent OF the Amer
lean League.
The regulations as they now
stand serve as q definite check
on rowdyiSm on the ball field.
The umpireS need all the back
ing they receive. Recognizing
this fact it is extremely unlike
ly the Hub magnate will get
any support in his scheme from
fellow club owners.
nUKE UNIVERSITIES basket
- ball quintet, which recent
ly eked out q one-point victory
over Maryland, is being ac-
corded serious consideration as
a contender for the Southern
Conference championship. And
judged by the impression he
made at Annapolis this Is due
in no small measure to the
presence in the lineup Of Bill
Werber, o Tech High School
product.
Speaking Of the Tarheel ag-
gregation Johnny Wilson, Navy
coach, Is quoted as saying:
That's q great team, about the
best I ever remember seeing on
this floor. They are mighty
fast, especially Werber. I sent
in my fastest men to stop him
and they admitted they could
not keep up with him. Werber
Is the fastest thing on two legs
I ever saw on this floor"

for the local lad, but accord
