SCHAAF' : BODY
ATTACK WINS

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Salva-
tore Ruggirello's sensational but
brief bid for fistic fame came to
a sudden halt today.
Batting for Pauline Uzcudun
against Ernie Schaaf, Boston
heavyweight, at Madison Square
Garden last night, Salvatore
struck out in the fourth inning.
After absorbing the Italians
hardest punches, Schaaf wore
him down with a relentless body
attack and won by a technical
knockout in 1928 Of the fourth
round of the scheduled 15-round
bout.
Ruggirello, who had amazed
the boxing world in his two previ
Gus starts by betting out Walter
Cobb and Stanley Poreda, gave
the crowd a passing thrill in
the second round when he drove
a flock of long rights and lefts
to the Bostonian'S head.

TIE FOR LEAD
STILL EXISTS
IN SERIES
BY GARRETT WATERS

BY GAhhEIT WAAEhS
That long expected final game
for the championship was made
certain in yesterdays interhigh
school series basketball games at
the Tech gymnasium.
Eastern defeated Central, % to
18 and Tech swamped Western
to the tune of 54 to 26, thereby
putting it up to these two teams
who are scheduled to fight it
out" next Tuesday in the first
game of the last scheduled
double. header of the series.
Eastern and Tech were both
tied for first place before yester'
days encounters, to explain the
situation. They are still dead
locked today as result of the
above mentioned turn OF affairs.
Thus, the final game for the
championship" idea, which, when
played next week promises 10 pc
another of those thrilling contests
so characteristic of high scnooI
basketball.
Waning Moments Tell
Central made a gallant attempt
to upset Eastern in the opener
of Yesterdays program. The MI.
Pleasanters were in the thick OF
things until the last six minutes
of play when Eastern finally drew
away to win by the 23-to-l0 mar
gin.
The departures of Buddy Nau
and Gene Swift, guards, prooaoly
turned the tide the wrong way
for Central. For it was after
these players we're forced from
the issue in those last six MIN
utes that Eastern pulled stakes.
The work of Barney Kane ana
Ernie Lieb featured Eastern's play.
Kane. under orders to guard Jack
Moulton, Central flash, and guard
him strictly, did just that by al
lowing the former Forest Park
player to count but once from the
floor. Kane, to make his game
complete, scored 9 points to lead
his team in the scoring. Lieb, al
though he did not run wild in the
matter of totaling points, played
an excellent floor game, getting
the tap from Keyser the greater
part of the time and guarding
that player so closely that he was
unable to count even once from
the floor.
Complete ROut
The Tech-Western game was
nothing less than a complete rout
for the Manual Trainers. Everett
Russell had a field day in the
matter of scoring by totaling 81
points. Reichardt did well by his
12-point total.
Artie Wilson, captain of the
Manual Trainers, who has been
On the sidelines because of an
ankle injury sustained in a game
on New Year Day, broke into the
hurry-scurry of things for the
first time in the series. He scored
three points.
Latona was the best Western
player with his 15-point total.
The Washington times., 1932-02-06

All his life Barney was ian,
and I mean a red-hot, gesticulat-
ing, "he was out a mile" throw
his-straw-hat-away fan. And like
all dyed-in-the-wool fans you
could tell him but you couldn't
tell him much.
PhOned Managers
Which, if you'd like to know,
was why DOME Bush finally gave
up managing Barney's Pirates as
bad job. DreyfuSs, in Pitts
burgh, would listen to a radio
account of a game played in St.
Louis and then call up DOME
long distance and explain to him
his strategic mistakes on the field.
Did you ever in your life know
a fan that wouldn't have stopped
ct third the runner who got
thrown out at the plate? Well,
sometimes that was Barney. But
it was his ball team and there
we're times when his second guess
became official.
He was, however, always try
irg to win ball games. Nobody
ever accused him of trying to lose
one. Probably, no man in base
ball ever had a cleaner record.
He would have been credit to
any enterprise or any commun-
ity.
While he was born in Germany,
DreyfuSs was an American, his
father having been naturalized
citizen. Barney began his base
ball career in Paducah, KY, he
was an accountant in distillery,
but they put him in charge OF the
ball team to get him outdoors in
hopes of improving his health,
which was none too robust.
Owned Louisville
In 1889 Barney's friends banded
together and bought for him the
Louisville club of the old National
League. Louisville dropped out
of the league around 1899 and in
1900 Dreyfuss went to Pittsburgh,
where he was active for 80 years.
He died a wealthy man. His widow
and. two daughters inherit the
Pittsburgh team.
Funeral services will be held in
Pittsburgh tomorrow. John Heyd.
Ter. president of the National
League: Charles Stoneham, presi-
dent of the New York Giants;
James A. Tierney, secretary of
the Giants, and Frank York, preSi-
dent of the Brooklyn club, will at

which marked the evolution of
college football.
Over a period of some so years,
football went from real sport,
informal in nature, TO a game ac-
cepted as a spectacle, a sort of
gladiatorial combat, staged for the
edification of the public who un-
hesitatingly paid gooC old U. S. A.
dollars and expected and received
o good show in exchange.
Won't Disappear Easily
It is doubtful if the big business
will disappear from college foot
ball for some years to come
Some persons who hazard pre-
diction think that by 1888 the
effects of the first movements
for de-emphasis will be felt
throughout the collegiate football
world. Others are not quite so
optimistic, or peSsimistic, depend.
ent on your point view.
All the foregoing is III answer
to a series of questions received
by The Times.
Sch DIS, such as Yale and Har-
ward, it is felt by many, will
have as few as four intercollegi-
ate grid contests per season in a
very few years. However, it
seems fairly certain that existing
contractual obligations will for,
bid of starting the movement to
reduce intercollegiate competition
much before 1886. The natural
inference is that schools involved
in the plan to reduce the number
of annual games to four or
five per season will endeavor to
de-emphasize slowly, thus elimi,
mating i'll results OF de-emphasiz-
ing too rapidly.
Predict Another Era
Forcasters are inclined to the
belief that 1910 will mark the
real beginning OF another era in
the evolution of intercollegiate
competition. Since the whole
subject of intercollegiate compe-
tition is highly controversial, one
guess is as good as another.
Probably, one of the under
lying causes for hesitation on the
part Of colleges to de-ehphasize
