MILLER NAMES HORACE MANN STATE CHAMPS Gary Grid Team Said To Be Best In State By Sports Writer By nick Miller, UP Special Correspondent Indianapolis, Nov. 25. — (U.R> ■ — If there Is such a thing as pinacle of In diana high school football, Horace Mann of Cary occupies that place today. The Gary gridders today stand out as the only undefeated and untied team in Hoosier opposition. Last Saturday they smeared the record of another undefeated and untied team up to that time, Central of Fort Wayne, by running rough shod over them 3S-0 at Fort Wayne. The football machine Coach Kieth Crown has assembled at Gary this fall is an unusual one. For size it compares with any secondary college team in the state. We doubt if more than six college teams in the state today could defeat the outfit. Central of Fort Wayne also has a powerful team this fall, but faced with a probb-Ai of battling a lino averaging 179 pounds and a backfield of 181. Coach Murray Mendenhall told his Central team Saturday to play nothing but an open game. Horace Mann possessed a strong pass defense and that tells the story. Kiser with two touchdowns, Dailey with the same number, Yards and Bush with one each, were the Horsemen scoring powers aided by the judgment of a clever little quarter-: back. Cavanaugh. Most high schools have hung up] their grid togs for the year. Over ini the Wabash valley league near Terre Haute. Thanksgiving day is football ' day. Last Saturday there were some; interesting results over there. Westville. 111., thumped Jasonville 26-7.1 Bicknell, regarded as a strong bunch. I were no match for the fast passing' aggregation. Linton, and lost 37-6. • 1 Tech and Clinton tied for the In-, diana interscholastic big ten champ- 1 ionship. v Next Thursday when the curtain falls, games in the western section ■ call for the following conflicts: Garfield vs. Wiley (Both of Terre Haute). Gerstmeyer Tech (Terre Haute) at Robinson, 111. Clinton at Brazil. Bicknell at Sullivan. Worthington at Bloomfield. Linton at Jasonville. 0 I Horace Mann of Gary football aggregation came down into Central of Fort Wayne territory and gave Murray Mendenhall’s prides something to think about along football lines. The Upstateis defeated Central 38 0. The Gary gridders evidently completely outclassed the Central team—which was not unexpected. The defeat of Central, while not a scheduled game, makes the question of N. E. I. championship slightly more doubtful, and gives Zeke Young a little better claim for a co-championship. Young's Auburn Gridders were not beaten all season. — ■ — Down at Bloomington last Saturday a great football team got greater and the Purdue Boilermakers trampled over the Indiana gridders completely outclassing their rivals by a score of 32-0. Soon after the game started the Indiana team folded its tent, and seemed content to watch the great football ability of Purdue unravel into long gains and touchdowns. Indiana never had the ball in Purdue territory and of the four first downs made by the Crimson, one was earned without the aid of a penalty—The longest Indiana run of the day was 5 yards. Saturday was an ideal football day—and regardless of the game the two bands made it an enjoyable affair. So the old Oken bucket still hangs in the Purdue well down at Lafayette —Purdue certainly has earned the title of Big Ten Champs— Now that most of the football season is wrapped up in newspapers for the year, BASKETBAWLS wants to remind Decatur net fans that Decatur high school Yellow Jackets will journey ic Auburn Wednesday night for a

pre Thanksgiving Day game with AuI burn high school netters. While it is generally th.tight the Jacketmen have a slight edge on Auburn, the game will no doubt b>> close and interesting—and there’s always I the possibility of un upset at Auburn. Coach Herb Curtis stated today that the Jackets would gel a lot of drilling on passing and h indllng the ball. Coach George Laurent at Decatur Catholic high school is sending his quintet through a series of hand drills - bolstering up a few' weak places in the defense and offense George says his team is showing a lot of improvement.. Coach Bryce Thomas over at Central has a real Eighth Grade net outfit and from the way his blue and wnlte team ' started its season, it appears that De catur woi Id again get a county Eighth Grade title. Real basketball weather is upon us - and almost every Indiana high si hobl net teams will "ot into action this week. Shelbyville staged an upset by de feating Crawfordsville last Friday night and Connersville defeated Co'um bus Saturday night by one point at Columbus. Say Yellow Jackets, Beat Auburn. There has been a sort of friendly rivalry between Decatur and Auburn for the last ten years—the rivalry has been made keener each season—and for the Yellow Jackets the annual Auburn game Is a minature Bluffton game—At least 200 local fans are ex petced to motor to Aubutn Wednesday night for the annual tilt. BEAT AUBURN q. MONROE TAMES GENEVA NETMENI Coach Piney Bryan’s Monroe Bearkatz continued their winning ways on the hardwood by defeating Geneva high school Cardinals at Berne Saturday night. Monroe cinched the gamin the second half after being held almost to a standstill in the first stanza. The final count-was 40-28. The game throughout the first half ■was close, with Monroe usually holding to a slight lead. The half ended with the Rearkatz on top 23-22. In the second half the Bryanmen defense tightened and the offense opened a wild spree wh'ch chased the total on the Monroe side un to 40, while the Cardinals bolstered their first half score only six points to a total of 28 pointe. A good sized crowd witnessed the same. The Cardinals weakened considerably in the second period and Monroe players took advantage of everv break. Monroe, by its victory, earned a place, nt least temporarily at the top of the Adams countv standing. Monroe and Decatur h. h schoo 1 and Decatur Catholic high school are the three undefeated teems in the countv at present. I Lineup and summarv: Monroe (40) F.G. F.T. TP.

Basketball practice commenced today, with football out of the way until next fall. A heavy schedule is awaiting the team, and no time will be lost preparing to fulfill engagements.

TWO STATE GRID TEAMS ARE BEST | Chicago, Nov. 25 (UP) -Two unde'tented teams, Purdue and Noire Dame monopolized middlewestern football * discussions today, and opinion differ- < ed as to which is (he better. Each team hud its supporters Pur ’ dm 1 because it has swept through to a i ; Big Ten title and is undefeated; Noire 11 Dame because it has played one of its | hardest intersectional schedules and has yet to taste defeat. • There still are expressions of stir--11 prise over Purdue's feut. regarded only ' j as a “Dark Horse" (and a mighty dark i one at that) at the start of the season ' the Boilermakers have played in such convincing manner that there was no doubt that the better team won in 1 every game they played. I Led by a backfield which is one of I the best in America, the Purdue outi fit used speed and a varied attack to win. Well coached, it had an abundance of plays and a quarterback who knew when to use them. It wasn’t an easy task to direct a team which averaged only 172 pounds and White deserves a lot of credit for the way he handled his running mates. Harmeson, Welch ana Yunevieh. Purdue won from Michigan. Chicago Wisconsin. lowa, Indiana, and three non conference teams. Notre Dame has one game yet to play—with Army next Saturday. If it wins, it undoubtedly will have a film claim on a national title. No other team has played the intersectional schedule as it has. K the Irish remain undefeated they will have beaten Navy, Wisconsin. Drake. Southern California, Carnegie Tech. Indiana, Georgia Tech. Northwestern and Army. Notre Dame would be favored to win from Purdue.• r 'oach Knute Rockne has at least eight backfield men, all good, and he has plenty of reserve linemen. On the other hand Coach Phelan s reserve power does not compare wi:h this and the belief exists that Norte Dame could wear down and beat the Boilermakers. It is unlikely that they will get together. There is no doubt that a game I between the two would pack Soldiers Field, but the Western Conference 1 frewns on post-season games. Purdue came through its last game Smu day with a 32-0 victory over Indiana. Notre Dante scored a costly victory over Northwestern 26-6 losing the services of Tim Moynihan when the center was carried out of the game with a broken leg. In the other games of Saturday, Illinois won from Ohio State. 27-0; Minnesota defeated Wisconsin 13-12; lowa and Michigan played a tie, 0-0; and Chicago won from the University of Washington. 26 6. Ilinois' large score was a surprise as was the Chicago victory over Washington. The Huskies were favored before the game, but Chicago turned loose an open attack which smothered ithe heavier opponents. Detroit? until Saturday, one of three undefeated teams in the middlewest, took a 14-7 beating from the Oregon Aggies. Incidentally it was the first defeat Detroit had received in 23 starts although it had been tied once. By Coach CverettS. Dean Indiana Wiiversity Introduction Basketball fans in the state of Indiana probably have a better know ledge of the game than spectators in neighboring states. With the idea of giving Hoosier fans a still wider knowledge of basketball, The Daily Democrat has arranged for our readers a series of articles on fundamentals and systems of play written by Everett S, Dean, head basketball coach at Indi I ana Univeisity. Some articles of the series will be illustrr-’ed io show the correct execution of such fundamentals as passing, shooting, footwork, and dribbling. Sev- : eial of th® articles will be devoted to offensive styles of play such as are used by leading high school teams in ']■ • state and by teams in the Big Ten Conference. ard in other sections* of the country. The different offensive styles of play will be plainly diagram ed so they may be followed easily. Coach Dean, author of the new basketball series, was all-Conference an center on the Ipdiana team. On graduation, he became head coach at Carlton College, Minnesota, where his teams won 48 out of 52 games played over a period of three years. One of his teams was undefeated during the entire 1923-24 season. Dean’s successful work at Carlton College brought hitn to the attention of his alma mater and he was asked to return there in 1924 as head basketball and baseball coach. He lias brought Indiana University three conference championships. His basketball team won the Big Ten co-championship in 1924 25 with Illinois and in 1927-28 with Pnrdue. His basketbeall team finished second twice, and his baseball team won first in 1925. Dean is the author or an instruc- > tional moving jiicture on basketball
