Fifteen high school athletes who were the star players on the three Indian- ! apolit high school ejevens during the football season just closed hare been selected by a committee of ten men as ths players deserving to be rewarded with tne medals given by the inirdue Alumni Association of Indianapolis. The play of these athletes during the season was such as to make their selec- i tlon easy for the committee, and from the beginning all members of the committee agreed on the men named. Those who will receive the honor meuiu> are: RoOert Woolgar anil Perry Payne, both of Technical High School, ends; Carl Wundrum (Manual), Harry Hungate (Technics*) and Francis BmiU (ishortridge), tackles; Ralph York (Manual) and Charles Mitchell (Shortrldge), guards; Louie Reickel (Manual), center: Albert Screes (Technical), quarter back; William Wert* (Manual), Hal Griggs (Technical), Lewi* Riley (Shortrldge) and Emil iiarmeson (Manual), half backs; David Kilgore (Shortrldge) and Hughes Cpdegraff (Technical), full backs. Walter Krull, famous as a footuall player at Manual Training High School and later at Purdue University, repreaanted the Purdue Alumni Association and acted as chairman of the committee. Each of the three high schools was represented on the committee by two men. B H. Black and F. It. Gorman repre seated Technical: K. V. Ammerman and B B Morrison were the Manual I raining High School members of the committee, and M. W. Tstlock and F. L. Roach were Shortrldge members of the committee. Each daiiy newspaper was represented on the committee. L. MStanley of the Star, U. It. Hill of the News, and n. W. Clark of the Times being the newspapermen who assisted in aelectlng the fifteen best Indianapolis high school athletes. At the close of the meeting a vote o. thanks was extended to Krull and the Purdue Alumni Association for the effort being made to promote good sportsmanship among the football players of the three Indianapolis high schools. Mr. Krnll assured those present that It was the p’an of Purdue ra-n to avrao! m-d----nls each Tear to the fifteen best high school football players on the. Indianapolis schools. THREE NAMED SUPER STARS. It was surprising bow quickly the members of the committee agreed on the fifteen men deserving the medal*. First the play of three star* stood out so far above thetr team-mates that they were named almost before a plan was formed a# to how best t > choose the fifteen i est These three were Screes of Tech, quarter; Kilgore of Shortrid-**. mil back, and Reicbel of Manual, center. In selecting the all-star eon bination 'the committee members chose tno back field stars first. They uam 1 Scree*, Wertx, Griggs, Kilgore, Upd gruff. K. HarmesoD and Itiiey, and no other hacks were named, but it pas decided by all present that each of these meu were equally deserving of the medals. Then came the selection of linemen. Relckel was named by every critic present aa by far the best center. Four men were considered when the guard positions were filled, these being York of Manual, Wundrum of Manual. Mitchell of Shortrldge and Rash of Shortrldge. However, It wa* decided that Mitchell and York would be the best guards, and that Wundrum would be of more value to the ail-star combination if named as a tackle It was decided that three tackles were ao far ahead of other men playing that position that all three should be selected as men deserving of the Purdue honor medals. Wundrum of Manual was one of these, he having played both guard and tackle during the season, but tln.ee who had followed his work closely declared he we* a better tackle than guard. Stull, the Shortrldge star line man, was an athlete named by all the committee as one of the best tackles ever developed In the high schools of the State Hungate, the Technical line man, was the other tackle chosen. The play of two end men stood out ao far ahead of that of other wing men Chat all the members of the committee immediately chose Payne and Woolgar, the Technical ends, as the best men playing that position.

Pollard 4 Nothing sensational happened In the first night of city tournament singles and doubles shooting on the Democratic alleys aud It is believed that tonigat’s shifts will huve little or not trouble in throwing up anew barricade of “big ten” counts. The bowlers this season hare been running wild in spits and starts and the fans are looking lor some bold, brave knight to sally forth and get himself “about a thousand’ before the meet closes. There probably are more stars on tonight's card than there will be on any other evening schedule lu the tournament. Every doubles combination looks like it could get nil the wood in the world with the right start and the lnillviduals look a speck better. Most of tonight's shooters will be old boys who have faced tournament fire before. West and Frlcker were the best doubles shooters the first night out, getting the lead position with a total of 1.046. West opened with the only double century checked up In favor of the combination. Striebeck just about picked Woodard up and carried biui to second place with a total of 1.026. Striebeck had a brace of two hundreds and a fair third attempt. His 233 waa high for one game. Hnckerd busted In for a 208 in the second round, but couldn’t use It after he got it.

Swectman, who stands In front of the individual*, was a common person until he got going in the final round. There were Just two double centuries shot in the singles play. Sweet man got one and Brill the tither. Brill waa high. Duecker didn’t have anything but his ears and his elbows. Hart got away to a poor start and didn’t have the old ginger to get out of the ditch. Evans waa the best man in his first game, but came along like '’Sllckey” Milbourue'a ponlt-a in the second and j third. LOCAL LEAGUE GOSSIP. Elks No. 1 leaguer* got a lot of big counts ouf ot their systems last night. Mr. Irish is the gent who let ’em know what individual shooting Is. He crashed the sticks for counts of 267. 222 and 166, totaling a cool and breeay 655. Then along came Jakie Cobler with a brace of big boys that brought hi mark up to 633, after ail was ald and done. KirkhofT turned the double century trick each time, getting 204, 213 aud 201.

Irish was high for one game with his 267. Jess Pritchett felt like a piker with his “little'.’ 253 effort, preceded by a •couple of 170 counts. Westover’s gatherings included a 236 and a 200, which ought to be worth at least 3 cents lu the city tournament. .. Mescal worked in harmony with Irish ! for the Hides and the Teeth were cracked twice. The third Hide game amounted to 1.055. The Ears put the boots to the Eyes with an outfit of 900 scores, and the Tails took three from the Antlers in the same mnnner. The Hoofs got only two double centuries during the course of their battle with the fcbin Bones and things went bad for them. Broden was within a hop-skip-and-jump ! of the coveted field every time, but the j breaks were against him. A 224 by Scheible of the Herman Candies copped the gravy in Beam’s No. 3 circuit. Willie Maney is beginning to show ' signs of life for the Sherwin-Williams outfit. He. got an 85 this time. Durbin got his 223 just In time to ! save the Daniels In their scrap with the ; Easterns. Mayer gave the Meier Packers a good start, but the American Expressers passed them on the stretch. Kelleher had 192 and 223 as closing remarks after getting away on nothing ; more than air. I The Wholesale League Van Camps threw more wood at the Hanillton-Harrls men than they could handle In throe weeks. Havens & Geddes managed to keep a pin or two behind the Hlbben-Holl-wegs every time. Brown turned in some good scores for the loser*. The M. O’Connors bad mighty little trouble winning three games from the Nicholsons when ltosemeyer and Roerkei got started. Dan Hnrkcrd didn't get in with the Ko-We-Bas until the first round had been passed off; then ho got scores of 194 aud 215. Conwav wa* stepping right along with | Ilackerd and the Mooney Mueller-H arils were lucky to have their shirts left when the festivities closed. The winner* shot 925 for the. team score honor*. Art Striebeck anchored to the extent of 225 and 193 for the Zlou Cardinals, In the Evangelical Brotherhood League. Kloepper wa* second high to the 225 count, Just two plus short. The other member of the Striebeck bowling fraternity also stacked up the wood, getting a 205, 198 nnd D5. I The heat that can be snid of the Greens is that they were all the name Implied.

Punnybrooks pot away with a -lean sweep over the Favorite Bacons in the ! Abattoir circuit. Gastineau and Retlley went big for the Bacons, but they were doing everything themselves. Western Steers were headed for a three-timer over the (Valves, bnt Werner bobbd up with a big count In the last game aud beat them by four pins. ST. LOUIS. Dec. 3.—E Kreins and A. Bugenhagen of Chicago rolled into first place in the two-roan event of the Middle West bowling tournament with a total of 1.244. K. I’agcl and L. H'lebner, nlao of Chicago, took second place with a 1 237 total. In the all events Kcorns too’* the lead with 1,776, and Huebner third with 1,759. Stadium for Ann Arbor DETROIT, Dec. 3.—Plans for the buibltng of a stadium at Ferry field, Ann Arbor, that would seat 44,000 persona, wee discussed by the Michigan Alumni Association and university athletic authorities here Tuesday.
