Rudolph Near
Fifth World
Billiard Title
Veteran Favored to Defeat
Caras Tonight and
CIinCh Crown.
BIZ United Press


NEW YORK, Dec. 21-Erwin Ru-
dolph, four times former champion,
is favored to capture his fifth world
pocket billiard title tonight when
he meets Jimmy Caras, 25-year old
Wilmington (Del.) star.
Everything favors the Cleveland
veteran, who has two chances to
win the title against one for Caras.
If Rudolph wins tonight he will
clinch the championship with eight
victories and one defeat. Should
Caras triumph, a playof will be held
tomorrow night. Jimmy's chances
of scoring two straight triumphs
are slender.
Rudolph kept his grip on first
place last night by defeating George
Kelly, Philadelphia, 125 to 35, in II
innings. Defeat dropped Kelly into
a tie for third place and that po-
sition was to be contested this after
noon when Kelly met Willie Mos
conf, Philadelphia.
The standings-all final after
fourth place, with total points
scored during the nine games of the
tournament determining positions in
cases where there were ties in games

GREENCASTLE, Ind, Dec. I'll
After spotting the Southwestern
College basketballers a four-point
lead in the early minutes of the
game, the De PAW Tigers rallied,
tied the count and then forged
ahead to win, 81 to 33, here last
night.
Bryan and Caywood gave the Wis
itors a 6-to-2 lead, but Youngblood
and Bateman tied the count at Gall.
Then Moore's basket and Young
blood's free throw sent the Meth
odists ahead, where they remained
the rest of the game.
The Tigers held a 19-to-13 edge
on the Kansas quintet at half time,
but they were unable to increase
that margin. Caywood, Southwest
ern center, sank five baskets and
four free throws, to gain individual
scoring honors for the game. Hick-
man, Kinally and Bateman looked
best for De Paw.

Shapiro Captures
Fifth Cue Victory
Larry Still Undefeated in
State Tourney.

Larry Shapiro led the pack in the
state three-cushion billiard tourney
today with five consecutive victo-
rieS. Harry Rubens, who has won
four games in as many starts, is
now the only other undefeated con-
teStant.
Frank Dougherty was Shapiro's
last victim. He was handed a So
to-3O defeat in an 80-inning match
in Coolers parlor last night.
Although Dougherty captured
high run honors with a cluster of
seven, he did not play a consistent
game. He made difficult shots, only
to miss seemingly easy leaves.
Shapiro's best run was four, but he
scored every other inning.

BATON ROUGE, La, Dec. 21.-
A frosh-reserve squad developing
power on Texas Christian Univer-
sity formations today had Coach
Bernie Moore making changes in
the Louisiana State defenses for the
New Years Day Sugar Bowl game
at New Orleans.
Moore said he hoped to halt the
Horned Frog steamroller, which
carries goal line punch after Sam
Baugh sings his teammates down
the field with his short passes.
Louisiana today was drilling on
the most successful offensive plays
of their last, 10-game season.
The Tigers were gratified over re-
covery of Bill Grass, who was hurt
in the Tulane game. The full back
weighs 205. Jess Fatheree, half
back. is expected to be back in light
workouts next week. He also was
hurt in closing games of the reg

Inc observer leans 10 the belef
that the husky Continental guard
was merely in customary good form
iast night and is destined to be an
city prep pastimer this
season. Herschel did not appear to
be hitting with blind luck, but play
ing a consistently capable, if not
f1aWleSS, game as he contributed
nearly half of the winners total
points. He Melted five field goals
and four fouls for IA markers. His
goals showed versatility, coming
from far out on the court as we'll
as under-b basket pivots; he was in
variably the ''go-getter" for the Con-
tinentals when it came to taking
the ball off Ripple's blackboard; he
was the cornerstone Of the WASH
ington defense.
Reese Out On Fouls
The Ripplemen were doing all
right by themselves, keeping with
in close striking distance, until their
Junior sized spark plug, Frank
Reese, was forced to the bench by
personal fouls in the third quar-
ter. The Rockets, who were trail
ing, II to %, when frankie walked
off, begged down like a '27 model r
in a snowstorm and fell behind, 20
to 81, before Combs and Mcqueen
dug out and scored seven points
in the last two minutes.
A high-scoring duel was in pros
pect as the game opened when Kas-
max and Shoemaker connected on
Washington'S first two attempts and
Reese followed up with fancy
long shot for Ripple. A free throw
and field goal by Mcqueen put Rip
pie ahead, to a. Foxworthy and
Combs added four more, and the
scoreboard favored the North Siders
at the quarter, 9 to 5.
Continentals Shove Ahead
The boys settled down to baskets
a la percentage in the second period
and 1t was some time before a bril-
liant folloW-in by Sartor tied the
score at 11-all. Lasley, Shoemaker
and Kasnak connected in quick sue
cession, giving the Continentals a
lead which stood at 18-to-15 at the
half, and continued unchallenged
throughout the rest of the fray.
Coach Frank Baird'S Ripple boys
seem to have gained the knack OF
working down under the basket as
well as the best of them do. but
once there they have difficulty find
ing the hoop, or did last night.
And when they missed, it was all
of-Mr. Sartor was right there to
snatch up the ball and start it on
its way up the court.
The victory was the third of the
season for the Continentals against
one setback. In figures:
