‘MICHIGAN WHIPPED BY TLLINI: PURDUUE TIPS HOOSIER OVER Minnesota Wins First Game From lowa 37 to 22; Hawk- eyes Are Out of Race CHICAGO BEATEN AGAIN Wolverines Lose in Overtime Game; Hoosiers No Match for Stretch Murphy Chicago, Feb. 19.—()—A new giant ' killer has appeared in the western conference basketball race and as a result Wisconsin today held the upper hand with an undisputed leadership. Northwestern played the role of the giant killer last week, dimming the 4 titular hopes of Michigan and Pur- due. But last night the Wildcats } failed in their attempt to bowl over f Wisconsin and Illinois stepped out } with the big bludgeon to tumble i Michigan's team into a tie for second i} place with Purdue, which downed In- | diana, its traditional rival, in an easy | fashion at Lafayette. . In turning back Northwestern's i high powered offense 37 to 23 Wis- / consin shifted its style of attack from f Coach Meanwell's famous criss-cross to a long pass game that had the | tired Wildcats completely baffled. While Wisconsin was making sure of holding a share of the leadership, Illinois knocked off Michigan 27 to } 24 in an overtime game. Michigan found its fast stepping offense tied up with the TIilini's slow breaking style of play but rallied near the end to force the game into an overtime fh session. The score at the end of the + regular playing time was 20 all but in the five-minute extra period both teams opened up for the longest per- iod of sustained scoring of the game. The disappointing Hoosiers from )| Indiana were no match for “Stretch” ' Murphy and his gang from Purdue after the first half. Purdue won 30 to 16 after holding a 13 to 10 advan- tage at the half-way mark. Wisconsin’s victory placed the | Badgers at the top with seven wins f in eight starts. The defeat of Mich- igan, the second in less than a week, shoved the Wolverines back to a tie with Purdue for second place with six victories and_two defeats. Towa lost a chance to remain in the running, when Minnesota won its first game of the season, 37 to 22. The Iowans, who had previously lost only two games in seven starts had ex- pected to have an easy time with the Gophers, who had been holding down the cellar with Chicago. Ohio State pulled itself up in the conference race to tie for fourth place with five wins and three defeats by handing Chicago its ninth confer- ence defeat 35 to 31. The Maroons made a bid for victory early in the second half but they could not stave off @ last minute rally by the Buck- eyes. SPORT SLANTS By ALAN J. GOULD New York, Feb. 19.—(7)—John Mc- Graw, about to start his twenty- » cighth year as manager of the New ' York Giants, has no predictions to make about winning his eleventh Pennant but he looks for a “tight @ Yace with the Giants in there.” “The Cubs look good,” McGraw ad- mits, calculating on the all-around strength furnished by Rogers Horns- by. “But the Pirates and. Cardinals i will have to be figured on and so will our club, I don’t know much ? about Boston but Cincinnati will be strong and both Brooklyn and Phil- adelphia seem improved.” Second base and the outfield are about the only problems McGraw has to solve when he takes charge of his men at San Antonio, probably the early part of next week. But he does not consider -ither as a source of worry. At second base it is a ques- tion of choosing between the hard- hitting Andy Reese or the smooth- fielding Andy Cohen. The outfield offers more juggling possibilities and McGraw may be obliged to employ @ reversable out defense, as he did last year. "Two of the outfield stars have been classed as holdouts but one of them, Jimmy Welsh, has just come to terms and the other, Fred Leach, who was obtained from the Phillies, is expected | to do 50 soon. 5 To pick from, McGraw has four _ Yight-handed hitters in his outfield crop, if Reese is included, and as the ia more who hit left-handed.

Mullen has announced that Tom Heeney, over whom Gene Tunney stepped out of the heavyweight pic- ture, will meet Otto Von Porat, of Norway and Chicago, March 12 at the Coliseum. Harmon followed with the announcement that Tommy Loughran, for a consideration said to be $150,000 will risk his light heavy- weight championship against Mickey Walker, the middleweight champ, March 13 at the Chicago stadium. An unusual purse arrangement has been made for the’ Loughran-Walker skirmish. Walker, according to Har- mon, has agreed to fight for nothing (excepting $10,000 expenses) in the event he wins. Should Walker lose he would be paid $50,000, which would come out of Loughran’s $150,000. The fight would dedicate to fisticuffs the new west side stadium now nearing completion. Palm Beach Will Stage S Sail Race Palm Beach, Fla., Feb. 19.—()—The glamour of romance and adventure on the high seas and the glory that once hung about the towering masts of stately clipper ships and wind jam- mers is to be revived here Feb. 23 with the staging of an international tri-country ocean sailing race to Nas- sau, Havana, and back to Palm Beach. The race, the first of its kind in southern waters, will be carried on over a 900-mile triangular course and has been designed to attract many of the fastest sailing vessels in the country. Approximately 10 days will be re- quired to complete the race, and tro- phies are to be awarded the winners by the statc of Florida and the gov- aramene of the British colony and No grizzled, horny-handed “salts” of the old sea days will drive these trim, slender boats. Instead, several of the country’s leading sportsmen, who have elected to follow the sea as a hobby, will face the helms of their sturdy craft in quest of the sporting honors of the contest.

THE BISMAKCK TRIBUNE Wisconsin Defeats Wildcats to Grab Big Ten Basketball Lead CANADIAN OLYMPIC SPRINTER LOSES IN FAST 60-YARD DASH Heavily Muscled Notre Dame Football Star Gets Too Fast a Start PERCY’S FINISH TOO SLOW Fred Sturdy, Yale, Pole Vaults 14 Feet; Nurmi Wins Easy Two Miles { Battle of Referee Disturbs Calm for Miami Boxing Fans as Third Man Assumed in General Opinion Miami Beach, Fla., Feb. 19—(AP) —The ballyhoo or not the ballyhoo seemed to be the question today as the rumblings of a war over refer- ees broke the calm and beauty of sockland by the sea. In the pelting sun on the sands of the beach the opinion was general that Johnny Brassil, 40-year-old vet- eran of New England rings, would referee the fracas February 27 be- tween Jack Sharkey, the silent sail- or, and young Stribling, clean cut Georgina. And every one seems cer- tain of this despite “Pa” Stribling’s outraged declaration that he didn’t raise his boy to fight Boston heavy- weights with a Boston referee in the same ring. Hinges on Contracts All the shooting, whether real or feigned, hinges on the interpreta- tions of the contracts the two fight- ers hold directly with Madison Square Garden Corporation and in- directly with Jack Dempgey, the former champion who is learning about fight promotion from two con- tenders for his old crown. Johnny Buckley, plump little manager of the Bostonian, said the issue is settled by the naming of Brassil and Jack Sheehan, both Boston referees, to the disputed post by the Massachu- setts State Athletic commission. Pa Stribling says the fight has just be- gun. The disputed contract clauses read thusly: “It is agreed: that the referee for the contest shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties of this agree- ment, the final selection to be made one week before the contest. In the event that the parties are unable to agree on the offi it is agreed the Massachusetts Boxing com- mission shall name the referee. “If the said commission refuses or neglects to name said official with- in seven days of the contest then Jack Dempsey shall designate the referee.” Brassil Apneiniment Assumed. With the issue so clearly defined, the general opinion is that Brassil already has been named to handle the major fisticuffs a week from Wednesday night. Since Florida has no boxing commission and no state code governing a match of this kind, the rules of the Massachusetts com- mission probbaly will govern the fray. This also stirs the Stribling ire because no draw decisions are Bemitied under the Massachusetts code. Regardless of the referee contro- versy there is close to $250,000 in cash receipts already in the box of- fice, a huge pile of reservations, and interest gtowing daily. The city al- ready is packed to the saturation point with visitors. The best guess as to the ultimate “gate” ranges be- tween $250,000 and $400,000. Maine Opponents Are Co-Captains Orono, Me., Feb. 19.—()—Numer- ous pairs of captains were elected for football teams at the close of last season, but it remained for the Uni- versity of Maine to adapt this fashion to cross-country teams.

Feb. 19—(®)— Hockey reporters around the big cir- cuit may have something new to write about before long, for Burr Williams, who jumped from a high school team to the minor league hockey, is expected to be on his way upward shortly. Williams, 20-year-old defense play- er of the Duluth Hornets, came to the local American Hockey club two years ago after his high school team had won the Minneapolis title. Weighing almost 200 pounds, six feet tall, a fast skater and a clever stick handler, Williams is one of the best defense men in the league. Burr is understood to be the property of Tulsa, a club in which his father is interested. Williams and Herbie Lewis were- leading players on last year’s Duluth six, which won the league champion- ship. Lewis now is with the Detroit Cougars. Judging by the attention the scouts are paying Williams, he is due for advancement soon. Like a lot of other hockey players swinging sticks in American circuits, Williams learned his hockey in Can- ada, where he formerly lived. > Fights Last Night | o ' ' o o (By The Associated Press) Chicago — Tommy Freeman, Cleveland, outpointed Joe Simon- ich, Butte, Mont., (10).

Jack Elder, halfback on the last TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1929 | Notre Dame football team, furnished the track season with a sensation last night when he conquered Wil- liams in a 60-yard dash at the an- nual New York A. C. games in Madison Square Garden. It was the first defeat of Wil- liams’ career, The double Olympic sprint champion, up to last night, had met the greatest sprinters in the world at varying distances and always with the same success. But Elder was not to be denied last night. Williams was slow-off his mark, as usual, but his famous “kick” near the finish failed by half a yard to nip the flying Elder. The time, six and_ two-fifths seconds, failed by one-fifth of a second to equal the world’s record. The games developed two new world’s records and an amazing pole vault of 14 fect by Fred Sturdy of Yale. Weems Baskin, now competing for the N. Y. A. C., shaved a fifth of a second off the indoor mark for the 60-yard high hurdles, clearing the four barriers in 7 2-5 seconds in one of the trial heats. He was beaten in the finals by a clubmate, Carl Ring, in 7 4-5 seconds, Paavo Nurmi turned in the fastest two miles of the season to beat a mediocre handicap field. The Finn’s time was 9:15 2-5, far behind his world’s rceord of 8:58 1-5 set in the same games four years ago. | BASKETBALL | BOWMAN WINS PAIR Bowman, N.

HEBRON 35; BEACH 6 Hebron, N. Dak., Feb. 19.—The Hebron “Brickmakers” experienced little difficulty in defeating Beach high school team here 35-6. The fast passing offense of the local team was too much for the visitors. Only the inability of the “Brickmakers” to sink their shots kept the score from mounting higher. The score by quarters: 8-3, 16-4, 23-6, 35-6. Gilman of the Beach team was outstanding among his teammates, with honors about even for the locals, all contributing to the score.

The Butte floormen outplayed by a wider margin than Score indicates. Harvey Kringen was the the field for a total of eight points. With Videll Stoeber leading the attack the Drake girls’ basketball ‘ing was smoother and they displayed. much of drive, It seems as if there should be more of @ smile on the face of William T. Tilden II in this picture. Tilden. was just eight years old and he had just won his first championship cup in tennis. He hadn’t heard anything about the tennis association and player-writer rules and other things that have kept him in hot water in recent years. When Tilden won his first cham- pionship, the experts predicted a brilliant tennis career for him, as they usually do about boy wonders. But every one of the nice things predicted for Bill as a youngster has been fulfilled.
