DEARS FAIL TO STOP CHURCHILL; OKLAHOMA WINS The University of Oklahoma sur prised last night by defeating the Washington University basketball team. 30 26.

Oklahoma had won but one game this season prior to last night's victory and is resting In last place in the Big Six race. Churchill of Oklahoma was the outstanding player on the floor. He dribbled away from the Washing ton guards time and again and be sides being high point man with 12. he played a splendid defensive game. "Red" Saussele was the leading Bear scorer with 11 points.

Capt "Moose" Meyer played only a small part of the game. The game, played before a small crowd of 1100, marked the last regularly scheduled home game ef the season for the Bears. St. Louis University will be met Thursday night at the Billiken gym. Washington jumped into the lead when Bert Springer scored a goal 30 seconds after the game began.

As the second half opened, Saus sele went on a scoring spree and scored two field goals and a foul In rapid succession and Oklahoma added one point via the foul route making the score Oklahoma 15 vvasnington 14.

THE March wind doth blow And we ehali have snow. And probable showers and We'll have weather that freezes Then gentle spring breezes When lambkins will Joyously bleat. The trees will come out. And the flowers will sprout When spring blows her breath upon them: Then the premature buds Will all turn into duds And wither and die on the stem- Tea, bo. the March wind Has anything skinned That ever blew over the wold.

One day it is hot. And the next like as not We find will be bitterly cold. So we have to prepare For the weather and wear. What you'd call interchange- able gear; For it's never the same And March is, we claim. The most versatile month of the year.

We Can't Win 'Em AIL We gather from the results of the national challenge soccer game Sunday that the Hungarians made goulash out of the Tablers. The Tablers instead of taking the Hungarians to the cleaners were themselves taken for a ride and St. Louis is all washed up as far as the soccer championship Is concerned. Donie Bush is looking for Outfielder Jolley to put a batting punch In the White Sox this year. Indicating that Donie doesn't believe that the Great Shires' wallop is what it's cracked tip to be.

Incidentally, the' ex-Pirate and one-time Tiger says that Shires is the least ef his troubles. Art's superiority complex fades Into nothing compared to the team's inferiority complex. Orthodox. one thing, however, Donie is positive, and that Is the White Sox will be in there fighting for every ball game. Which has been the theme song of every baseball manager since the day Father Chad wick took the game of "on old cat" and glorified it into baseball.

See where the Cardinals were greeted by cold weather on their arrival in Florida. Indicating that good old March is putting on a nation-wide campaign. Bill Tilden may never break the bank at Monte Carlo, but he broke a lot of tennis enthusiasts from Rome, Turin and Nice when he won the championship of that tight little principality after elim inating Morpurgo, who was an to 5 favorite to win. Bill may not have returned for a protracted stay, but he cer tainly came back with a bang that jolted the tennis world when he gave it a flash of the old Big Bill of the early '20a. They never come back but there is no law against dropping In- for a little visit once in while.

ROY STEELE AND FOX ON COLISEUM MAT CARD Roy Steele of Seattle and Charley Fox of Cleveland have been matched for the semiwindup of Friday night's mat card at the New Coliseum, sccording to word received here today from Tom Packs, local wrestling and boxing promoter, who closed the bout yesterday while he -ras is Memphis, Tenn, attending a meeting of the National Boxing Association's wrestling championship committee. nxtiit rOMfCHT Cantilever By James M. Gould Or the Foet-lHspalcli Sport Staff. WEST PALM BEACH. Fla 4.

Manager Bill Killefer of the Browns was up bright and early this morning, and with arms open, prepared to welcome 'the second squad." It arrived and "it" consisted of Morris Badgro. the young outfielder. Which leaves still among those absent, with 10 days of training gone. Pitchers Sam Gray, George Blaeholder: Infielders Melillo. Kress.

O'Rourke and Grimes, if the latter still is on the list, and Outfielders Schulte. Manush, Bennett and McNeely. Of these, only Manush and Kress are under suspicion as serious holdouts; but there is some worry as to the whereabouts of the others. Today was the final reporting day and the records show that 10 men are missing. There are two later trains on which these belated persons may arrive, but they were due this morning and didn't get here.

The weather still is freezing and any practice today will have to be of the same and sweet type as that of yesterday. The roster contains some 30 names. With the arrival yesterday of Kip Collins and Hale there are- IS play ers. Kineler and Coaches Austin and Blackburne in harness. While the Brownie home office has maintained silence on contractual troubles, there is no reason to assume that any of the men, except Heine Manush.

will be a serious holdout. Manush won't say what price he has placed on his services, but rumor has it that there's a difference of some $6000 in bid asked figures. Which is nuite a difference in any mans league. Yesterday several players of the Milwaukee club, on their way to their Fort Pierce camp, visited their big brothers. One of the newspapermen declared they expected that Eddie Grimes, surely and Ted Guttle, probably, would wear Milwaukee uniforms this season.

It is quite possible the scribe i3 correct about Grimes, but Gullic looks worth a more extended trial. He is a smashing hitter and if the Urowiis have any of this type of laisman to spare, the fact is not visible to the naked eye, especially with Manush still on the outside. Works With Squad. Hale, ex-world champion, was in uniform yesterday an hour or so after his arrival. Sammy makes no bone about admitting he is glad the Browns got him ant" quietly promises that the Browns will be glad, too.

before the summer is out. He will have a battle on his hands for tho third base job for Frank O'Kourke is not ons to give way lead With I'huadeiphia last ear, Hale hit .277. which gave him a. advantage over O'Rourke. He fielded .95 6.

-which was IS points higher than the record made by O'Rourke. Sometimes these figures mean something sometimes, they are useless as indication of value to a team. It Is fairly certain that, if a vote had been taken last year to determine tho most valuable Brownie player, O'Rourke would have been high up in the voting. So far as the other infield positions are concerned, there's nothing to worry about providing, of course, Kress signs. Oscar Melillo has no competition for second base and Lu Blue a master first -sacker.

The pitching staff is rated high in the league and the catching with Rick I'crrell and Clyde Manion as cer-taintiea and Hungling as the most probable third stringer, could be a lot worse. It will take Manager KOlefcr at least another week before he will be able to say that he knows how his 1930 teams will take the field in thtf first game against the Tigers In lHjtrott. To hazard a guess, the opening day combination would have Manush he'll siin. all right Schulte and Bennett in the garden; Blue. Melillo, Kress and Hale in the infield; Gray or Crow-der pitching, with Ferrell behind the bat.

That may cot be the greatest ball club in captivity, but it Isn't a push-over, either. There are probably fewer camp rulm with the Browne than on any other club. Nothing Is banned in the way of recreation when the player who wants it can find the time to do it. Killefer said that anyone who wanted to go swimming could go. As the mercury was flirting wiii the bottom ot the tube at the time "Kill" made his little speech, it didnt meaa much.

The ballplaying golfers are Bine Manion and Hale. Blue is rathar clever with the woods and irons and his firrt day out shot an 8 5. Which, en tht course here, is good golf. Yesterday's prmctic was short. r.ppy and frigid.

The medicine ball took a lot of punishment and "pony infield" eonsiMing ef nine. Koets, Jimmy Austin and Walter Stewart massed things up a white. Austin, by the way, can throw is well aa ever and was nwaving the ball areund as though he had been rlaiinc ail wir.ter.. 1 1 A city championship heavyweight battle between Dave Knost and John. Schwake may be arranged by Promoter Mique alloy as one of the prelim attractions supporting the scheduled 10-rounder between Primo Camera, 170-pound Venetian giant, and Chuck Wiggins of Indianapolis, announced yesterday as the main event of a St.

Patrick's day boxing show at The Arena. Malloy stated over the long-distance phone from. Chicago today that he will confer with the managers of Knost and Schwake upon his return to St. Louis, with a vieV to booking the hefty local rivals for a 10-rwund bout. The Arena promoter plans to leave Chicago tonight to complete arrangements for the advance sale of tickets for the St.

Patrick's day show. He stated the sale ot res ervations will open Thursday, with prices ranging from $1.10 to $5.50, and that all seats will be reserved, including the upper balcony, usually assigned to general admissions. Heffner to Get Chance. Chuck Heffner. the blond Denver welterweight, who impressed local fans with his punching power when he decisively outpointed Patsy Pollack of Winnipeg.

Cana da, in a five-round prelim on al loy's inaugural local program few weeks ago. is another fighter in line for a place on the coming card. Malloy intimated he may send Heffner against Jackie Horner of this city, in a 10-round engage ment, with, a view to bringing Jimmy McLarain here later to meet the winner. Safeguard Against Fouls. As told in late editions of yes terday's Post-Dispatch the Car-n era-Wiggins match was announced at Chicago by Promoter Mique Malloy yesterday.

It will be hald at the Arena on St. Patrick's day. Camera's showing last night at Philadelphia, where he proved he could take punishment and still win, adds interest to the local attraction as Wiggins is the best of all the fighters who hare been matched with Camera in this country Wiggins tendency rough or foul fighting will be safeguarded against. Malloy said, by a clause in. his contract which will deprive him of his share of the purse in event the referee decides he has employed Intentionally foul tactics.

Camera has fought eight times in this country, winning all his fights by knockouts. Taylor-Terry" Bout Now in Doubtful Stage The 10-round fight between Buddy Taylor, former bantamweight champion, and Lou Terry, local junior lightweight, which Matchmaker Jack Tippett on Sunday announced would be held next Monday night, reached the doubtful stage today, because, according to Tippett. Eddie Long. Taylor's "manager said Terry was too tough an opponinet for Taylor to meet on short notice. Long suggested that Billy DeFoe, the St.

Paul veteran, be used instead of Terry, but Tippett declined to make a substitution. Whether Long can be made to. go through with the match will be decided today by Commissioner Taylor here, Tippett has a letter from Long, he says. In which Tay- lers manager wrote that Terry would be acceptable. Tippett also says that Long definitely accepted the match ever long distance telephone, Tippett has not yet received the signed articles of agreement.

N. a Id-round bout here last night. on of a a While most of the coaches agreed the two Maplewood stars, the! remaining three choices varied, Van. Loon, although one of the' smallest players in the league, was named for one of the forward positions because of his speed and coring ability. Hall of Ferguson was chosen as running mate to Van Loon because his value to the Ferguson attack and defense.

Hall, who is over 6 feet tall, was given the po sition over Huckleberry of Kirk wood by one vote. Burgees, Hall a teammate, was ranked fourth, two votes behind Huckleberry. There was little doubt about Brossard's being the best center in the conference, his only competitor being Houston of Wellston, al though Eraun of Normandy re ceived favorable mention from those coaches who elaborated on their selections. The other member of -the championship five. Miller, was so con sistent in his scoring and defense at guard that the coaches showed no hesitancy in picking him out of dozen candidates.

Newcomb of Kirkwood was ranked with Miler, on the strength of some votes for forward position, although New- comb is a guard. One coach stated that Newcomb and Huckleberry composed the Kirkwood team this season. There is not much difference in the quality of the first and second teams. A team consisting of Huckleberry, Burgess, Houston, Rogers DISTRICT BASKET TITLE TOURNEY TO OPEN TODAY The St. Louis district high school elimination basketball tournament will get under way at the Washington University Field House this afternoon when St.

IT'S a dark outlook for Signor Frimo Camera, as we view it. If varicose veins don't get him, Charles Frederick "Chuck" Wiggins wilL And when Chuck gets you It isn't pleasant. Half a dozen Indianapolis policemen will make affidavit to that. They tried to arrest Chuck not long ago, and six casualties reported to the Sergeant afterward. Chuck and Camera, believe it or not, have been matched to fight here on March 17 at The Arena.

It is true there will be a weight disparity of about SO pounds, and there will be an age balance of more than 10 years in Camera's favor. Reach, height, strength and all physical advantages will lie with the mammoth Italian. But keep your eye on Chuck, the champion rough-house mauler of the ring today, or any other day. Turn Chuck loose, with all rules suspended, and the world title would be his to have and to hold. Cramps His Style.

UN FORT ier moder TUN AT ELY, un- rn fighting rules. Chuck's style has been slightly cramped. Flinty-hearted referees and commissioners have given his stuff the pitch. Wiggins long record, approaching COO fights since he began distributing leather about 1916, contains many blow holes that tell of unsympathetic officials. In fact.

Cbuck, has participated in 12 fights in which fouls have figured. In three of these Chuck's opponents became so exasperated at Wiggins' advantage-taking that they cut loose themselves and were disqualified. But In nine others Chuck was himself ruled out on fouls. Among those to whom Chuck lost in this manner were Von Porat, De.Mave. Strib-linsr.

Charley Weinert and Lough, ran. Big Camera's 6ize and style make him an exceptionally likely target for low blows." Fans therefore are wondering just what will hapen when. Wiggins and Camera foregather. If the fight runs to form, as did the Phil Scott fiasco, the referee who handles the St. Louis hont 1.1 likely to hav as much trouble as did Lou Magnolia and that was plenty.

Takes Them All On. VtZIGGIXS is a freak in the pugilistic world. It takes a real fighter to beat him. and few of the good ones want to take a chance with him. He's too tough and careless.

Yet he met Gene Tunney (twice) and Tommy Loughran and stopped Johnny Risko that was in He did not hesitate to take on eig fellows likn George Godfrey or clever ones like- Tommy Gibbons. In fact, these two men were the only opponents to beat WHggins decisively. Godfrey knocked him out and Gibbons stopped him In the tenth. YVhen Wiggins Is well trained and sets out to do a good job, it takes a firt -class fighting man to defeat him, even though he is well into the thirties and has been fighting IS years. It im therefore fair to assumo that Camera oa March It wUl be facing the bst bit of fighting machinery he has been opposed to since he came to the United State.

Wiggins has gever 4iciayc4 a knockout punch; but he is an aggravating and punishing boxer. Camera's weak spots probably will be searched out and shown up as never before. High Cost of Promotion. MIQUE-brought MALLOY, who Camera here against Buster Martin under a tremendous blast of promotion attended by an unwonted publicity from local newspapers, will find the second promotion somewhat different. It is reasonable to suppose that there will be a great diminution of space devoted to advance notices this time, because Camera no longer is a novelty.

Mique was lucky to go over the top. financially, on his first effort here. He emerged with a profit of only $1118 on a total gate ot nearly 000. He may be able to shave expenses on his second promotion, but it still takes a game man to figure that a second shot will bring down more customers than the first. Pretty Tough.

NE of the reasons for the small profit on a big show is found in Mailoy's list of expenses for the Carnera-Martin show. These show that the City Commission received $1324 for its share and the State commission a similar sum. Thus Malloy paid $2648 in taxes for a single show. As pointed out previously, in this column, wrestling promotion costs only $500 for an entire season while major league clubs pay only $100. The city commission is entirely superfluous in St Louis boxing affairs.

-If it did not exist Mailoy's profit would have been double. As it was, his return for the risk and effort seems meager. The rent man got more than twice as much as the vrotnoter himself gained out of the show. It would be rather sportsmanlike of the city commission to equalize the method of taxing various professional sports. At it stands now; the sport least able to bear the burden has been taxed the heaviest.

a Sharkey Lost Prestige. A DIGEST of after-the-fight comment on the Miami affair indicates the most important result was a huge loss of prestige by Sharkey. Nothing was expected ot Scott; but of the man who is to carry country banner in the next international match for a title, it was at least expected that he would bear himself like a great fighter. Sharkey looked, like anything but that, as reflected in stories of the bout. He punched wildly and he lacked ring poise.

He lost his head and behaved like an excited schoolboy. A level head and a. good disposition are absolute requisites in a great fighter. What "Pa Says of Primo. PA STHIBLIXG.
