Iowa Seeks REVENGE
Plus Big Ten Title
BY the Associated Press.

| By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Mar. 3.-Iowa's Hawk
eyes, more than somewhat rejuve-
mated by their 68-38 victory over
Wisconsin Monday. make the final
bid for their first undisputed West
ern Conference basket ball cham
pionship tonight when they enter
tain Illinois in the seasons final
game for both clubs.
Illinois holds the distinction Of
giving Iowa its seasons only loss,
43-42. at Champaign last Janu-
airy 26.
On the possibility Coach Doug
Mills Illini can repeat that perform
ance hangs the Big Tens undis-
puted title. Fifteen times since 1900
when conference records first were
kept-the basket ball title has been
divided among two or more teams
This year the Iowans are going all
out to prevent repetition Of that
result.
If Iowa fails tonight to gain ven
geance for the earlier Illini defeat,
the Hawkeyes will be tied with de-
Tending champion Ohio State for
the conference title, with 10 VIC
tories and two defeats each. A win
will give the Hawkeyes their first
cage title in conference history.

Georgia Tech-Vo| Till
Tops Hot Semi Card
In 5. {. Cage Play


LOUISVILLE, KY, Mar. 3-The
chips were down today in the South
eastern Conference basket ball
tournament here, with Kentucky
Tennessee, Georgia Tech and Ala
bama each holding hand in the
semifinal round.
The Vols and Yellow Jackets,
seeded 2 and 3 in that order, tangle
to decide the upper bracket repre-
sentative in tonight's championship
fracas. Top-seeded Kentucky and
fourth-ranked Alabama clash for
the right to furnish the second
team in the title contest.
Kentucky closed the night session
with an impressive 68-37 decision
over Louisiana State University. In
the other night contest, Alabama
trounced Tulane, 51-31.
Georgia Techs high-scoring ma
chine bowled over Mississippi State,
60-43, in the first afternoon game
and Tennessee followed with a de-
cisive 1924 verdict over Auburn.
Most fans agree the Tennessee
Tech contest should prove one of
the hardest fought of the tourna-
ment. The teams split a pair of
regular-season games and each has
presented a fast-scoring combina-
ton in early round tits. The Vols,
however, probably will enter the
game slight favorite.
Kentucky still is ranked the team
to beat for the championship and
will be favored over the Crimson
Tide today.
A Tennessee-Kentucky champion
ship battle tonight would provide
setting very familiar to conference
cage fans, who have watched the
Vols and Wildcats fight it out for
the title on numerous occasions
since 1888. They divided a pair OF
games in regular-seaso play.

 New York, June 12- CUP) - AS the Rosy finger of dawn smeared its fingernail polish across the Brooklyn horizon today, it became apparent that 'Lippy" Leo Duro- cher probably would hold his job as manager of the Dodgers, despite his latest mess.
 Durocher comes up again on a charge of felonious assault on June 18 in Brooklyn felony court.
 He is accused of helping to beat up John Christian, medically dis charged soldier. during the game at Ebbets field Saturday night. Joseph Moore, special patrolman at the ball park, was accused of helping Durocher in the beating up. In fact, he was accused of providing the blunt instrument Apparently Black Jack that al- legedly aided in making a Dodger disciple of MT. Christian, who is recovering from a fractured jaw. Moore's case was continued too; and both were permitted their i- berty under 1000 bail.
 By the time that the case comes up again in court, June IS, the violence loving fans of Brooklyn probably will be convinced that Durocher did good job in going to work on Christian (although Debonair Leo denies that he ever saw the fellow).
 Right now Brooklyn opinion is pretty well divided. One section of fans condemns Durocher. For eX- ample, Bill Tate, an elderly Brook lyn taxi driver, insists: "Lippy proved in this case that he can dish it out to the unpires; but that he can't take it.
 However, robust Hilda Chester who rings large COW bell to lead the bleacher cheering at most games-declares:
 "The pernt is this: Christian had been pickin' on nea-ly all the Dodger players for more'n a month with a verce like a foghorn. He shouldn't been pickin' on the buns when they was playin' alright. And llC o1lOu1ull OCCll Coul lodlS W1o6C that shocked the ladies'
 President Branch Deacon" Ric- key indicated-without so stating that he regarded Durocher as largely innocent. He said the situa- tion was partly the clubs fault that it had failed to police Ebbets field better to prevent chaps like Christian from indulging in un- limited and profane criticism.
 Vir tually everyone connected with the Dodgers was confident that Leo's case ultimately would be thrown out of court, for lack of witnesses. The attorneys maintain ed that 'at least threee' witnesses can testify on behalf of Duocher- as to what actually happened that night in the players runway.
 Meanwhile Durocher resumed management Of the Dodgers, after one-day absence, and handled the team as it scored an 1l-4 v1c- tory over an Army nine at Mitchell field.
 No National league action-if any will be taken against Durocher until the criminal case is settled. President Ford Prick of the circuit has gone to St. Louis on other matters. In the absence of Prick,

HOOP, JR., TOPS
 CLASSY FIELD FOR PREAKNESS

Baltimore, June 12-(UP)-Ken- lucky Derby winner, Hoop, Jr., shipping well in the overnight train trip from Louisville, was ready to begin light workouts today in prep aration for Saturdays running of the mile and three e-sixteenths Preakness classic in which he is heavy favorite.
 Pavot, Walter M. Jefford's two year-old champion, also was on hand and generally considered to be the top threat to Hoop, Jr., in the stake race over the Pimlico oval. Pavot was rated highly despite los ing to Mrs. P. A. B. Widener's Poly nesian in the Withers mile at Bel mont week ago. The colt was un- defeated as two year old and the loss to Polynesian was the first against him.
 The field for the Preakness was expected to be considerably smaller than the 16-horSe turnout for the Derby, many owners and trainers giving up after Hoop Jr.'s smashing six length triumph over the run ner-up Pot O'Luck. Owner Fred w. Hooper indicator indicated that Jockey Eddie Arcaro again would ride Hoop, Jr.
 Rivals?
 Among the other arrivals at Pim- lico yesterday, all from Louisville, were Mrs. w. G. Lewis Darby Diep- pc, third place winner in the Der by, c. s. Towards Sea Swallow, and Col. E. R. Bradley Burning Dream, and Bail Bond Bail Bond, which did not go in the Derby, may start with Burning Dream as an entry, although Bradleys stablemen have made no comment on the mat ter.
 Running as secondary features on the Pimlico card will be the $30,- 900 Dixie handicap with the famed Devil Diver the top weighted fa- vorite at 132 pounds, and the $20OOO Pimlico Oaks for fillies and mares. Alex Earth and rounders are other early favorites among the older horses competing in the Dixie Stake
