BERNE BEARS TRIM GENEVA After getting off to a alow start, the Berne high school Bears ran wild through the defense of the Geneva high school Cardinals and trounced the Geneva net aggregation, 5318 hi a basketball game at the Berne gymnasium last night. The Geneva team started off in good shape and had a total of 4 points, before the Beats got out of the zero column. Finally Berne started hitting the basket from all angles and when the final gun sounded the score was 53-18. The Berne team scored 25 times from the field and 3 times from the free-throw" line while the Cardinals hit 7 times from the field and 4 times from the gift line. Braun, veteran forward on the Berne team rang the field bell for 9 baskets while Stucky, floor guard hit the net 7 times during the game. Hawbaker, Geneva center and star of last year’s Geneva team was the star for the visitors, scoring 12 of the IS points collected by his team. In the curtain-raiser, the Berne Cubs, defeated the Geneva second team 24-8. The opening game was all one-sided and rather uninteresting to watch. Lineup and summary: Berne Pos. F.G. FT. T.P.

J., Nov. 17.—(U.R) — , Yale Blue challenged the Orange and Black of Princeton in colorful pageants of pretty girls, coonskinclad collegians and hoarse, beaming ; old grads through the hospitable, streets of Tigertown today, while the , elevens of Captain Max Eddy and , Captain Chuck Howe made ready to resume the football rivalry of the two universities, which dates back just 55 years. Today’s game against Yale is the j climax of Princeton’s season, and the youngsters coached by Bill Roper are j primed for their greatest effort. What I happens against Navy next week will > not worry the sons of old Nassau, if Yale is beaten. it was a crippled but determined Bulldog eleven which arrived here to rest for the battle. Johnny Garvey was not among the prospective backs ! which Mai Stevens will shooot in, against the Tigers In his place stood i Butch Loud, who was assigned to the ' ball carrying during the famous Eli ■ drives inside and outside tackle. (’lash For Lead In Western Conference lowa City, la., Nov. 17. — (U.R) — Weather conditions, as much as the relative abilities of the two teams, will have an important beating on today’s Big Ten championship battle between lowa and Wisconsin, at lowa stadium. A soggy field appeared likely to give ' the Hawkeyes the advantage. Wisconsin, boasting the strongest aerial game of any conference team, had hoped for a fast, dry field, while the Hawks, who rely mainly on a powerful running game, welcomed the rain. The game seems certain to decide the Lig Ten championship as the rival contenders are the only undefeated teams in the loop. lowa has a slight edge (,n Wisconsin, having won all of its si 1 ’ hames, while the Badgers tie with Purdue. o>th teams boast powerful lines and lowa has an exceptionally powerful backfield in McLain, Glassgow. Armll, Parroh and Pape. Purdue-Wabash Play Lafrtyette, Ind., Nov. 17. —<U.R>—Purdue University’s Boilermakers meet Wabash here today in a game which is expected to provide Jimmy Phelan's team with a valuable rehearsal for next week’s battle with Indiana. 0 G.

Glenn’s Pet Used Te Defeat Rock nt 1 \ -.ug 6 1 ( fit ' Bv SOL METZGER - ■ “So this is County Cork!” yelled a 1 Wisconsin halfback over a month ago when he had caught a forward pass and ran deep into Notre Dame ■ territory, where one of Rockne’s ■ Fight ng Irish boys crashed him to the sod. That upset by Glenn Thistlethwaite’s boys gave Wisconsin its first big kick in football since the old (lays when Phil King, the former I ■ Princeton quarterback, produced some : great Badger elevens. Thistlethwaite is a master strategist, a man of few words. They tell ' me :n his coaching days at North western, where he earned his spurs, a slap on the back of “Moon” Baker . or a mere word or two of praise would send that versatile gridironer into | battle inspired. One of Glenn's pet tricks is a running pass that is shown ! here. Ball is snapped to No. 2. who whirls and hands it to No. 3, the latter tearing to the left rear while No. 2 Aits down the pursuing end. No. 3 also tears to the left, his duty being to | account for the other defensive end. No. 1 breaks at this same end. as though leading the interference, hut ' cuts around him on the inside and , seeks the territory that is vacated by the defensive back in that area, the j latter having been lured to other parts by end (No. 6 leading him 1 astray. When No. 1 is free, No. 4 steps and pegs him a forward pass, f , When it’s caught it goes like fury.! This is the sort of attack lowa will 1 i have to watch for today in its Coni ference clash with Wflslconsin at lowa City. If it goes and if Wiscon- j 1 sin can stop McLain then “Silent ; Glenn’’ will pat a few’ more strong i young collegians on the back and i make them feel even better than they did when victory was gained on the !field. — There is a right and a wrong way to play football.

[Controversy In New Net Rules New York. Nov. 17. —(U.R) - The dribble threatens to cause most of the controversy in basketball this season ir the interpretation meeting cf eastern officials, coaches and players held last night at the Astor Hotel, is a fair indication of viewpoint of the country at large toward the 1928-29 rules. The desire of the joint rules committee to lessen dribbling caused the personal foul shall be called on the dribbler. If, despite the dribbler's eff rt to avoid contact, personal contact ensues, either player, or both, following interpretation to be added to the rules at the annual rules meeting in April: “If a dribbler charges into an cp- | ponent. or makes personal contact with an opponent, without an apparent effoit to avoid such contact, he may be guilty; but the greater reI sponsibility is on the dribbler If he tries to dribble by an opponent who is in his path.'* L. S. St. John of Ohio State, chairman of the joint rules committee, said the intention of the rules committee was to do away with the dribble as much as possible. “We want to prevent a player from running down the court with the ball like a football player going down the field,” St. John said. “If the dribble | is not curbed, the game is going to i get out of hand and away from the A. B. C.’s of basketball.’’ Stalling was scored by St. John who said that all possible is being (lone to speed up the game and pre--1 vent it from lagging.

VESTRIS PROBE WILL CONTINUE (CONTINI ED FROM PAGE OSEI prosecutor, dismissed Verchere with the question: ‘•ls that the formula you adopted before you went to the stand?” Later the district attorney warned against anyone tampering with the witnesses before they were permitted to tell their stories. McDonald told of how O'Loughlin had left the radio shack before the Vestris went down. He said he had been in the shack with O'Loughlin and that they both had left some 30 to 40 minutes before the Vestris foundered. Costigan presented the three radiograms he said his company had transmitted between ship and shore just before the sinking. He was advised to make further searches of the files in an attempt to ascertain whether any other messages might have been sent. The three message he read: From Carey: “Hove to since noon yesterday. During night developed 32 degree list. Starboard deck under water. Ship lying on beam. Impossible to proceed anywhere.” Th's had been in answer to one sent by the company which read: ‘‘Wire us immediately what your trouble is.” Then the company sent a message advising that the cruiser Davis was enrcute to the rescue. Hanson merely identified pictures he had taken. More Testimony Received New York Nov. 17 —The mvstery of the delaved S. O.

Betore that- several groups lia dbeen fighting for control, one of them headed by "Big Tim" Murphy, former convict and a powerful figure in the Chicago underworld. The racket, police estimated, has taken several millions of dollars out of the pockets of Chicagoans. Before Capone's era, dozens of bombs were thrown, thousands of dollars worth of clothing ruined and many trucks set on fire by the various cliques trying to get control. Murphy was slain several months ago. Clay was a suspect in the shooting and police today considered revenge for that shooting a possible motive in the killing of (Jlay. Clay also had been involved In conflict with Capone at various times, it was reported.
