BY WILLIAM WEEKS. Associated Press Sports Writer. HICAGO, January 30 (#).—The “Battle of the Murphys'— Charlie of Purdue and Charlle of Loyola—will be held on Pur- due'’s basket ball court tonight. The Murphy boys—both playing at center, both giants, and both ranked among the outstanding basket ball play- ers of the country—will lead their teams in the standout game of the Western season. Not only will Loyola be battling for victory over a high-ranking foe, but the Ramblers will be fighting to extend their remarkable string of triumphs to 35 straight. Included in the record are victories over Montana State College and Butler, both conquerors of Purdue this season. The Montana State and iButler setbacks, however, were suffered |long before the Boilermakers attained | the form that moved them to the top of | the Western Conference heap. The contest will bring together two widely different styles of basket ball. Purdue will stick to its driving offense opponents no better than come close since the season of 1928. Coach Leonard Sachs of Loyola has drilled his men to set to shoot, or to withohld their fire until a drive carries the ball under the hoop. Tgns system has enabled Loyola to score 952 points, to 544 for opponents, dus its current winning streak—an average of 28 to 16. The Ramblers will start with Mike Waesco and Tommy Flynn at forwards, llurg at center and Bob Schuhmann an Butzen at guards. All except Flynn are vet- erans. After losing to Montana State and Butler, Purdue started to click and de- feated Michigan, 23 to 19, and North- western by 39 to 22. The Boilermakers’ line-up probably will have Glen Harme- son and Vic Gibbins at forwards, “Stretch” Murphy at Center and fleet Johnny Wooden and Herman Boots at | guards. | ‘Two other games will fill out the Big Nine card for the week. Tomorrow night Michigan will seek its second victory of the week in meeting Chicago at Chi- k its second straight over Minnesots at Minneapolis Saturday night. TOTERS TALENTED Freshman Aces of 1929 to Help Varsity—Holdovers of Stellar Class. BY GEORGE TREVOR. EW YORK, January 30.— When Mal Stevens sounds the call for foot ball can- didates at New Haven next Fall he will have to sidestep quickly or be submerged by the stampede of backfield aspirants. Holdovers from 1929 include Alble Booth, Don McLennan, Kemp Dunn, Tom Taylor, Al Beane, Nat Austen, Charley Snead and Savage. Yale's pony back- fleld—Booth, Beane, Austen and Taylor—returns intact. Booth and McLennan, easily the most briliant carriers among the holdovers, have seen considerable service as quar- terbacks, yet neither seems ideally qual- ified for the signal caller’s job. Kemp Dunn, an. uninspired but tenacious plugger, may lose his fullback berth to_ the up-and-coming Tommy Taylor. Dunn is leaden-footed—slows up the tempo of Yale's attack. Taylor, bn and ed enough to handle Dunn’s interfering role, has the speed that the latter lacks. New Sophs Will Be Strong. Austen and Beane are fleet-footed, useful halfbacks, who just miss great- L is hard to see how they can break into the varsity line-up unless the freshman aces flunk out.

Cornell will play at Princeton on October 18 next Fall, in accordant with the present two-game home- end-home agreement. to Ithaca ON THE S LTHOUGH one of the criticisms of base ball as it is played nowadays, compared with a score of years ago, is that too many men get into action, nearly every suggestion for a revision of the code to “improve” the pastime involves aggravating the situation. This is true of John Arnold Heydler’s pigeonholed plan for of the Droposal. st made By of the pro) just mas Emil Fuchs. The president of the Boston Braves, evidently uixmpl.fi b{ watching protu'; lonal hockey games, sugges that instead of having a ball player put out of the game for objecting to decisions the rules be altered so that he could merely be benched for a couple of innings. - Whncg w;th the %nul:‘t p:‘l:- ce O requen chan, g pitchers, strengthening outfield defense to protect leads and drawing generously on benches cluttered with reserves, includ- ing pinch hitters, modern games frequently see the use of 15 or more men by each team. Fuch’s plan obviously would tend to increase the number of flertomen emfloyed, but that not the chief objection to it. 1t strikes us as being unsound principally because it would encourage umpire baiting, the suppression of which has ac- counted more than any other one thing for the advancement of the national pastime since Ban Johnson blazed the trail with the advent of the Amer- ic"l"‘h mu.i'nuona th e as they now stand serve as & definite check on rowdylsm on the ball field.

And judged by the imp: he e at Annapolis this is due in no small measure to the resence in the line-up of Bill erber, a Tech High School lon Johnny Wilson, N coach, quoted as saying: “That’s a great team, about the best I ever remember on this floor. They are mighty cially Werber. I uhl:: and they admitted they could not keep up with him.

A. U.

That august body, it is pointed out, only recently sanc- tioned the perpetration of the Carnera-Peterson thing in which there was a discrepancy of more than twice that amount of avoirdupols; but, harking back a decade, how about that party in the sun- baked arena of Toledo’s Mau- mee Bay when J. Dempsey and J. Willard collided. If the 187-pound Jack of 1919 had been ruled too frail to face the 245-pound Jess boxing history would have to be A:ludumly revised.‘ e speaking of mpsey brings to mind another odd one pulled by the New York Commission, which seems con- sistent in being funny, regard- less of who is serving on it.

Tunney subsequently demon- strated, not once, but twice, that he was Dempsey's su- l)enor while Harry Wills, whom he commission sought to force Dempsey to meet, later proved an easy victim in four rounds for the awkward Paulino, at that time a mere tyro. Base ball in Boston must be picking ‘up. Fans there are an' quite a kick out of the act that both the Red Sox and Braves can boast of a hold-out, the athletes in question being Ed Morris and Rabbit Maran- ville, respectively. “Cobb could be reasoned with in ute, but there was no use ghting him”—headline over an article by Billy Evans, eneral manager of the Cleve- x;xd Indians and former um- pire.
