Win Over Minoter
Herman Ratzlaff Loses Decision
After Being FIoored in
Fourth Period

Portland, Ore, Jan. 2.-P-Wesley
Ketchell, Portland middleweight,
scored a 10-round decision over Her
man Ratzlaff, Mtnot, N. D., In the
main event of the New Years day
boxing card yesterday. The decision
was not popular as ringsiders figured
Ratzlaff was entitled to a draw.
Ketchell had Ratzlaff on the floor
in the third round but the North Da-
kotan was up without taking q count.
Ratzlaff forced the fighting from the
fourth round on. Ketchell weighed
l58 and Ratzlaff 155 pounds.
The fight was a study in left hand
ed slugging which kept the crowd on
edge throughout. After hitting the
canvas in the fourth period, Ratzlaff
bounced up to carry the fight to
Ketchell during the remainder Of the
round.
Ketchell back-pedaled the rernain-
der of the fight, now and then DART
ing in to return the sudden attack.
In the fifth round Ketchell twice
nailed Ratzlaff with terrific lefts, but
Ratzlaff swarmed all W him, more
than making up for the locals adj
vantage. Again in the sixth. Ketchell
connected solidly, but from that point
on Ratzlaff had the decided advan-
tage except in the tenth round, which
was even. That round vas a smuggling
match. the fighters standing toe to
toe and throwing every punch they
knew.
The seventh, eighth and ninth
rounds went to Ratzlaff by wide mar
gins. He uncorked an attack that
had Ketchell groggy more than once.
Ketchell. under an avalanche Of
blows. missed often and widely. It
was evident the fourth round knock
down decided the judges In favor of
Ketchell.

Milwaukee Men Snare rs to
~ Victory After Missing
Many Opportunities

Milwaukee, Jan. ~2.-H1-Marquette
university's basketball team defeated
North Dakota State Of Fargo last
night rs to II in q slow game.
The hill toppers missed many OPP
portunities to score by their ragged
play and did not begin to get their
range until the second half. They
were leading only by two points when
the first half ended.
The Dakotans' defense held up
we'll at first but finally crumpled
under the Marquette assault. Bison
players we're held at an effective dis
lance most of the way by Marquette's
man-to-man defense.
The first score came after five
minutes Of play when johnson scored
on q free throw. Marquette retaliated
with two free throws by O'Brien.
Each team seemed to be slowed up
and could not find the basket. The
score see-sawed with the Bison hay
ing the advantage early In the first
half, eight to five.
Marquette then loosened up and
scored five points to take and hold
the advantage throughout the re-
mainder of the first half.
"Lanky" Andrew was high scorer
for Marquette with nine points.
Marquette's defense was the bright
spot of the game, with Shipley and
King starring. Captain Pete Gergen,
high-scorer with seven points for the
Bison, did stellar work at guard.
