Garden Passes Up HeavieS
for Berg-PerliCk Bout
on Friday.
BY HENRY M'LEMORE
United Press staf Correspondent

NEW YORK, Jan. 26-Tfe heavy
weights having failed to draw little
more than enough to pay the ush-
ers, Madison Square Garden this
week will feature the little fellows
on its Friday night card.
The program is headlined by a
ten-round bout between Jackie
kid Berg of England, and Her
man Perlick, a couple Of light
weights. Should this pair draw a
decent-sized house it would not be
at all surprising to see boxing's big
gest trading post sidetrack the
heavyweights for fighters in the
smaller divisions.
The fuss Friday night is expected
to contain plenty of action as both
Berg and Perlick are fast and ag-
gressive and dote on moving forward
when the going gets rough. Perlick
came within an inch Of knocking
the Englishman out here last sum-
nler and made the fight SO close
that more boos than cheers greeted
the decision.
This is Berg's first start here since
he whipped Billy Petrolle-the same
Petrolle that trimmed Jimmy Nc
Larnir1. Berg is determined to Sc
cure another match with Tony
Canzoneri, lightweight champion,
whom he whipped before the italian
took Al Singer and the title.

Looms as
Title Five
Indiana Only Team in Race
Likely to Squeeze
Through.

Northwestern's undefeated quintet
loomed today as an almost certain
winner Of the Big Ten basketball
championship.
The Wildcats, with four victories,
are the only undefeated team in the
conference and are conceded better
than an even chance OF winning
their remaining eight games.
Northwestern turned in its fourth
victory Saturday, defeating Ohio
State, 80 TO %, and now is faced
with a two-week holiday during SEM
ester examinations, returning to
competition Feb. Z. Most of the
other schools also will be idle dur
ing the next fortnight and only two
games are scheduled this week, Ohio
State invading Michigan tonight and
Chicago travelling to Minnesota Sat-
urday.
Chicago lost its indicated rank
ing Saturday in a crushing 41-to-i5
defeat by Michigan. Although the
defeat Is ninimized on the Mid
way because of the absence. Of Sid
Yates, star forward, it virtually end
ed Chicago's hopes Of finishing
among the FIRST three"
In Saturdays only other game,
Wisconsin handed Illinois a 30 to
20 setback. The Badgers displayed
improved form and give promise Of
being an important factor during
The remainder of the race.
Indiana, with three victories and
one defeat, is the only quintet likely
to challenge Northwestern's 5uprem-
acy, but unless Northwestern meets
an unexpected defeat, the Hoosiers
must be satisfied with second place.

halted when it appeared the fir
