CHICAGO, Jan. 26. - Two Big
Ten basketball games are scheduled
this weekend, only one of which
is likely to have any direct bearing
on the championship race.
Ohio State and Michigan. both
out of the title chase, will meet
tonight at Ann Arbor. Northwest
ern, with an outside chance at the
title, meets Minnesota tomorrow
night at Minneapolis. If North
western loses to Minnesota, the CO.
champions of last year will be elm
mated from the race.
A victory for Northwestern will
give the Wildcats a slight chance
to figure in the championship. Pur-
due, undefeated leader, and Iowa,
holding second place with three
victories and one defeat, are idle
this week. Northwestern holds
third place with four victories and
two defeats.
A revised Michigan lineup will
face Ohio State tonight. Captain
Ted Petoskey and EStel Tessmer,
guards, and Fred Allen, center and
forward, have been benched. Michi-
gan's starting lineup will be COM
posed of Plummer and Joslin, for
wards; Jablonski, center, and Rud-
ness and Tomagno, guards.

lieve he knows fighters better than
anybody in America. For example,
when he heard the odds were 2 to l
on Ross to beat Petrolle the other
night he laughed. Five to one would
be stealing the dough-" he said. AS
the fight turned out, he was ex-
tremely conservative.
I recall seeing the Bald Eagle
around Broadway late last summer
1t was Just before the Baer-Schme-
ling fight. Everybody liked Schme-
ling. The Bald Eagle smiled that
sad, gentle smile of his. "You guys
are in for an awful Shock" he pre-
dicted. "Baer's liable to flatten
him in the first round"
A S nearly as I can remember,
IA the Bald Eagle was the only
person in the fight game who felt
that way. Moreover, he made his
bets accordingly. He bet on knock
out in the first round, a knockout
in the third round and knockout

two bets and won the third at gen.
erous odds.
The Bald Eagle knew his Baer,
knew him much better than
Schmeling, who looked upon the
match as a soft touch, much better
than Joe Jacobs, the German
manager, who had been so eager to
sign the papers. And here is the
story-a story that in reality is a
prelude to the death of Ernie
Schaaf.
Schaaf and Baer fought for the
Bald Eagle in Chicago. 1t was a
match that had been a long time
in the making, and the Bald Eagle
had steamed it up tremendously
even to the extent of confiding in
close friends that this was one they
shouldn't pass up by any means.
