Dec. 7.—With total earnings of $82,000 for five games played in eleven days, “Red” Grange is almost certain to realize about $200,000 for his first season as a profeasional football player. The red-haired star of the Chicago Rears got $30,000 as his share of the' receipts when 70.000 spectators jammed into the polo grounds yesterday to see his team beat the New York Giants. 19 to 7. This sum. no doubt, will not be equalled in any other games this season, but the returns will be substantiated from the games that he is to play in Washington, Boston, Pittsburgh, Detroit and Chicago this week and the games that he is to play in Florida. I.ast night over the radio, Grange, in stressing the value of self-confidence, said he had never gone into a game without the firm belief that he would get away once. He had to wait until the final period yesterday to get away but he did it when he grabbed a forward pass thrown by Hiukey Haines, the NewYork star, and dashed 35 yards for a touchdown. The Bears won, 19 to 7. " o —' “Candy” Miller To Play Against Leaders Tuesday Ray "Candy” Miller-, all-conference haekguard while at Purdue university and former member of the Huntington American Legion quintet will be with the Huntington Athletics when they play the Decatur Leaders at the Catholic high school gym here Tuesday night. Miller is recognized as one of the best back guards In this part of the country. He will be supported by a group of fast players. In the Leaders’ lineup Tuesday night will be "Sheener" Miller, Murray Mendenhall, Coach Kennedy, Bill rist, Earl hristen, Linn Shirk and ’ Tabby" Andrews. The same outfit that defeated the fast Muncie Retz team here last week, 36-25, will start the game against Huntington, in all probability. A good preliminary game will be played at 7:15 o’clock and the big game will get under way at 8:15. —o Telephone Rate *.rc Raised In Michigan City Indianapolis. Dec. 7. — (United Press)—An increase of 50 per cent in the telephone rates at Michigan City was provided in au order of the public service commission made public today. All classes of service with the exception of rural communities are affected by the order. Under the order of the Mutual Telephone company will add approximately $ 12,500 annually to its income.

FIELD GOALQ i JL XS By MARK M. UPP kJ The Hartford township Gorillas aren’t taking any buck talk from any of those Wells county teams. That’a boy, Gorillas. In the last three games, the Gorillas have tied Lancaster, anil beaten Chester Center and Petroleum. Next Friday night, Hartford tackles the Bluffton seconds. Cash Keller pulled a good one in his column in the Huntington Press. Listen to this: “Out-O-Bounds 1 in the Rochester NewsSentinel picks Frankfort to wallop Kokomo. Miracles do occur once in a while but we fear Sideliner is out of luck If he expects this impossibility to happen.” He who razzes last razzes best. Jean Graffis. who hails from Richmond and who is conducting a column called "Chasin’ the Jinx" in the Bloomington Star as a sideline to his work at Indiana University says, "Its commendable, at least, that if the npstaters can’t ever lie state champions, they can set the pace in co-operation and sportsmanship," in commenting on a meeting of liigh school officials, coaches and players at Laporte for the purpose of conferring on and reaching a definite understanding on the rules and regulations of the I.U.S.A.A. Be continues: "The north is, in this way. setting an example for the south to shoot at.” Every now and then a Hoosier basketball coach finds a few spare minutes time in which to get married. Last year. Coach Kennedy, the D.H. S. mentor, pulled the trick. Last Saturday, Charley Ivey, coach of the Bedford quintet, became a benedict. A Richmond Miss was the lucky one. Another college romance, we suppose, since Ivey was a star athlete at Earlham a few years ago. Auburn continued to show state tournament class Saturday night by downing the Fort Wayne South Side five, 30-19. It is a good ball club that can tackle South Side's veteran team on their home floor and beat them eleven points. Souh Side lost only two men off last year’s squad of fifteen. ’ ’ The Leaders do their stuff again tomorrow night. The Huntington Athletics, including Ray “Candy” Miller, will be the guests. Last Friday night, when Frankfort's state champs played Kokomo, Frankfort was leading seven points and five minutes remained to be played. Schultz. Frankfort’s big back guard, was put out of the game on personal fouls, and the hopes of Frankfort fans began to fade, because a team like Kokomo's veterans can easily win a ball game in five minutes. Coach Case also felt a little downhearted, but he picked out a kid by the name of Baker and sent him into the game. Baker, who is a sophomore, had played nearly all of the second team games at center. Kokomo started a rally and Frankfort's lead was cut to three points in two minutes. Things looked blaoker for Frankfort and then that kid Baker began to fight back like a veteran. He snagged the ball off the back-board and stopped the under-the-net rushes. The other four Frankfort players caught the fighting spirit from that kid and the tide again turned in favor of Frankfort. Baker had more than delivered, as his team, which was leading seven points when he entered the game, led by eight points when the game ended. Does a second team pay? Well, rather. And by the way. Boots played back guard, floor guard and center for Frankfort at different times during that game. This week’s schedule for Adams and Wells county teams includes: j Thursday night—Catholic high vs. Gibault of Vincennes, here; Friday J night—Fort Wayne Central at Decatur, Kirkland vs. Monmouth at Decatur. Bluffton Seconds at Hartford. Monroe vs. Poling at Pennville, Berne vs. Pleasant Mills at Decatur. Liberty Center at Lancaser, Bluffton at Portland, Rockcreek at Chester Center, Ossian at Petroleum. The Big Ten pulled a new one Saturday when Indiana and Northwestern schedpled two football games for next fall and Minnesota and Michigan did the same thing. Return football games in the same season have never occnred in the Big Ten before. The conference passed a ruling that each' team must play four conference games and the above plan was the only solution. Wabash high school’s basketball players must have taken offense at the way sport writers all over the state poked fun at their performances in the past, as they opened their season last Friday night by trouncing Chester township, one of the best teams in Wabash county. 52-17. A Wabash basketball team scoring 52 points in one game is something new. |

W. A, (Navy Bill) Ingram, head football coach at Indiana for the past three years, will coach the eastern team. Two Indiana players of the past season, Captain Larry M; -ks and George Fisher, both all-state selections, will go west as members of the eastern squad.

—, the east, Coach Ingram has received tentative acceptances from several additional men who are practically cer-' tain to receive all-American honors this year. Ingram states that his team will average 189 pounds in weight and [that his line will be practically invinc-! ible. The western team will include ' the sensational Ernie Nevers, crashing Stanford halfback; Brick Muller, California, all-American and on Camp's 1922 eleven; Wilson, halfback of the' championship Washington eleven; and! others of like calibre. All of the men 1 on both teams will be in condition. I Ingram states, either fresh from 1925 ( competition or right out of the coach-, ing game. The game is a benefit performance for the Shriners’ Hospital for Crippled Children, San Francisco, and is ex- j pected to net the kiddies a purse close to $200,000.

Start Move To Limit Football Scouting By Henry L. Farrell (United Press Sports Editor) New York. Dec. 7.— (United Press) —Elaborate scouting systems, employment of numerous skilled observers and the use of a highly technical chart plan of listing plays 'and players may be abolished either by legislation or through a gentleman's agreement at ■ the winter football meetings. Bill Roper. Princeton coach, said re- ] cently that he was thinking seriously ' of proposing at the winter meeting of the coaches association that the sys- ( tern of scouting teams will be dropped j altogether i Roper said after his team had annihilated Harvard that he hadn’t seen. Harvard in action all season and that the only information he had received about the Harvard team came from casual sources or was volunteered. He admits that it isn't necessary to close all sources of information about the strength or weakness of an opposing team because as long as the game is played in public, there will be no way to stop a friend or an alumnus from telling a coach something about 1 the teams his team has to play.

I What liK objects to Is highly systematized scouting, the practice of assigning a scout to cover every team on the schedule in every game and the use of ( hurts In recording every play. Some coaches, including Pop Warner, and Knute Rockne, have made light of the benefits to be derived from seoutinng. They do some, of course, for their own information, but it may bu done in self-defense. Rockne apparently thinks there Is more to be gained by getting information on opposing teams than he udmits because in his new book, “Coaching," ho devotes lengthy space to Instructions on tlie form sheets that can be used to the best advantage in couching although he does not give the system his endorsement. The Notre Dame coach has been so liberal in teaching hl s system at summer schools that he certainly cannot be charged with any desire to keep his football a secret. The story is told of Pop Warner, that he once was having breakfast with the coach of a team that his team was to play in the afternoon. Warner knew that his team had been well scouted and he humorously remarked that the time and the trouble had been wasted. “Here are the plays that 1 am going to use this afternoon," he said, and he drew a diagram of five plays on the table cloth. He used only those five plays and his team won. There has been no effort to stop scouts from looking at teams. In many cases the scot|t applies directly to the athletic office of the team that he is to scout for choice seats —and gets them. It is doubtful that there is enough evil in the idea of scouting to get ’the game involved in any fight about it. | If any coach believes sufficiently in its j importance he will get his information regardless of rules or agreements. If a coach does not see any value in sec- ' ond hand information, he doesn’t have ■ to employ scouts. | Many coache s and fans will not agree with Roper that scouting is !“bad ethics and poor sportsmanship.” !As long as it is done in the open it certainly can’t be compared with the ' signal stealing stunts of the old days. o MARION—Santa Claus is going to 'do a rushing business here within , the next few days. The local banks recently sent back to patrons more than $200,000 which represented the 1 pennies deposited during the year in | Christmas clubs.
