Anderson Quint Scores Victory Over Franklin FRANKLIN, Ind.. Dec. B—Anderson High School basket tossers turned the tables on the Franklin five here last night and scored n 44-to-33 victory, contrary -to the rule of former seasons and the run of dope. Last night's game was simply a renewal of an age-old basket war between these two schools and the contest staged by them was a fitting one. They battle each other or three times each year and competition grows keener with every contest. Franklin recently has "had it „on” Anderson, scoring three victories in their three meetings last season, hut the heavy Anderson squad of this year appears to be too much for the Franklin crew. Anderson held a 26-to-5 advantage at the halfway mark last night and the crowd was losing all interest in the contest when the Frnnklin scrappers came back strong in the second session and ./•ame within an ace of taking the game. The teams were three points from a tie .When Anderson broke loose with only ’five minutes to go and hurriedly caged a f-tw baskets.

Wonder Five, Speed Five, and Now a Mystery Five for Fans to Puzzle Over Comes now the “mystery five” to puzzle the basket-ball fans of the city and State. Shrouded In a cloak of rumors and whisperings the gumshoe outfit Is said to be--in the making at Technical High School. The students are puzzled and only guesses are made regarding the line-up of this unknown quintette. The name of certain players are known, 'tis true, but what positions they will play remains a secret. It's going to be a whizz-bang of a machine, according to the east side boya. who think they are In on the know, but when pressed for facts they are without information and only say the gloom that has pervaded the camp of the Green and White team will be shattered by a mighty swoop of baskets when this mystery quintette swings Into action. Whiupered talks of the new Tech team practicing far into the night have been heard aiul 'tis said Coach Black has found a combination that surely will wreck the hopes ofvopposition teams from this time on. 'Tis rumored, also, that the basket-shooters on this surprise team a're so good they seem to have the eyes of an owl and can spin the ball through the draperies in daylight and dusk with the same uncanny accuracy. A goblin prowling about the Tech campus at night Is said to have been the first witness of this "mystery five” in action and he confided his information to cue who Immediately started the gossipers gossipping. At any rate the east side student body Is all worked up over their team's new line-up. and the rooters hardly can wait to see it in action against the Franktlu team at the Y. M. C. A. Saturday night. m ROBERTS DIES AFTER KNOCKOUT JERSEY CITY, Dec. B.—Mickey Shannon of Newark, a heavyweight boxer, died in a hospital here at 3:30 o'clock today following his knockout at the Arena A.

WABASH SHOWS SCORING CLASS Scarlet Bombards Em-Roe Basket and Rolls Up 39-17 Victory. The Wabash College basket five outplayed the Indianapolis Em-Uoes at every stage of the court game to post a 39-to-17 j victory on tho Y. M. C. A. floor last night. The Em-Roes, with only two of the "old reliables" in their line-up, showed plainly the lack of tcaflfwork, both on defense and offense, nnd their game last night was Inferior to that which local fans have been accustomed to seeing them play. The regulation Green and White passing was not there. The speedy Scarlet crew, of which I Alonzo Goldsberry, chosen all-American j high school center from Wingate last . year. Is easily the main cog. ran ram- , pant through the ranks of the Green and White athletes. Wabash started out with a nine-point | lead before the Em-Uoes scored, and were , out In front, 19 to 9, when the rest period was reached, Indianapolis fans wore pulling for an Km-Hoe comeback in the second period, but every move of a Green and White athlete -.vas followed by a fighting Scarlet-clad, and nearly every attempt of the locals to rally was hurriedly smothered. Sohoeneman was the only independent player on tho floor who offered anything like old Em-Roe form. The lanky player ! was in the going all the time and man- j aged to snag four baskets from the field, shooting them from a distance when his teammates failed to work the ball up to the basket for him. Sohoeneman also counted seven times from the foul line. Johnny Hennessey played a snappy game for the local quintette during the short j time he was on the floor, caging one I field goal and barely missing several long shots. The work of Goldsberry -of Wabash was worth the price of admission. This youth showed a lot of basket-ball brains iast night and gave. Indication of becoming one of the greatest player* Wabash ever knew. He has speed sud Is lu the fight all the time, making his opponents shoot lu a hurry when they get the hall, and getting rid of the bail in doll Ide quick time himself. The lanky freshman registered ten field goals. A4ml and Burns also played prominent parts In the Wabash win. Wabash plays the Merchants Heat and Light team on the Y. M. C. A. floor next Tuesday night nnd tackles the Em-Roes for the second time at CrawfordsvlUe on Dee. is. The officiating by Referee Head nnd Umpire Feezie was good, but despite thrlr hard work in keeplug the game moving nnd as free from fouls as pos- j slble, several poor losers among the , crowd found fault and shouted dlsap- | proval lu rough neck fashion. When' Referee Head attempted to uiake nn an- ; nouncement between hnlve* regarding a I future game a few hoodlums refused to I remain quiet and as a result his an- ! nouncement was heard by only a few. | He wished to call attention to the re- | turn of the Wabash five here next Tues- : day for a game with the Merchants lleat 1 and Light team. The majority of the big crowd last ' night was satisfied with the performance and, though the local team lost, the fans cheerfully gave credit to the speedy Wabash players. The Em-Roes need more practice and no doubt will come i through later after their passlug has been worked over.

One Tall. Other Short. So ‘Alert’ Anderson Cop Is Right There With Law

If you are tall or short It is wise to stay away from Anderson, or you may get "pinched" for being n hold-up man. B. I*. Bondurant, famous sa a football player at De Pauw University, Is six fret three Inches tall. Ueze ("lark, who formerly played foot- 1 J>all at Indiana University, is five feot Ive Inches In height. These two football men met In the lnterurban depot at Anderson recently. They reason they stayed in Anderson was because the iuterurhan car was more than an hour late and they had to kill some time. The two former football players were football history when they suddenly found themselves In the arm* of "the law.’’ A big policeman, wearing anew uni- ] form and a No. y number on his hat, which the football men took to ludh ute that there might he as many ns nine man on the Anderson force, demanded to know their names, where they came from, where they were going, and also asked to see If they had any lettera to show who they were. “Why sll the excitement?" smiled Bondurant, who explained that l:e was an insurance man and handed the "law" n few letters to proTe his statement. “We are on the alert," declared No. 9. who wns backed up by it "detective," or at least the boy who peddles candy ut the depot informed the travelers that Jim Fierce was a clever detective, "anil you guys look like a pair of hold-up men to me. " "Fine," smiled Clark, thinking of the number of robbers he had s.-ett since he had covered the police run for the Daily Times during the last ten years, "Why do we look like hold-up men?" "There have been two hold-ups tonight," declared No. 0, "anil the descrlp tlon of the hold-up men says one 1* short and one Is s®!l." "Well, we answer that description, chief," smiled the reporter. "Do we rlile ?" "No, I guess you are all right,” said No. 9; "But I tell you we are on the alert In this city." The two visitors got on the Interurban and the boy who sells the candy again informed them that "those cops are sure clever.” Page and Vaughan Agree to Move Butler-Wabash Grid Game Up One Week Announcement was made yeisterilny that the Butler-Wabash football game scheduled for Indianapolis Nov. 5 had been moved back to Oct. 29.

Butler Squad Tops Dentals in Exciting Clash at Irvington Enthusiastic Crowd Sees Spectacular Game in Which Several Players Star. By HEZE CLARK. A spirit of sportsmanship prevailed last night at the Butler gymnasium, where Butler and the Indiana Dental College renewed their athletic relations after a year’s lay-off. The gymnasium was filled with students and the alumni of both schools and never have two local colleges given a bettor exhibition of sportsmanship than was seen In the Irvington gymnasium. This was true ou the /part of the spectators and the players. Butler won. 31 to 26, in the cleanest nnd fastest basket-ball game ever played between the two colleges. The Tooth Pullers and the Butler Bull Dogs have met about fifteen times In basket-ball, but never have the teams played faster basket-ball than wns witnessed last night. Excellent officiating by “Hap” Craigle and Ross Smith played an important part In the game, which was a splendid exhibition of the great Indoor sport. From the first It was known that the teams were evenly matched and the spectators were not disappointed in the class of basket-ball played. The Dentals obtained more close shots than did the Blue and White athletes, but the field goal shooting of Hooker In the opening half kept Butler In the running In that period. The Dentals led at the half, 13 to 13. Foul goal shooting by P. E. Brown, the Butler forward won the game In the last half for the Irvington quintette. In that period Brown scored eight foul goals and three field goals. Hooker did not get a basket Id the final half. During the game Brown scored eleven foul goals out of fourteen chances. Tho Dental team got but two foul goals out of eight chances. The Dentals tossed twelve field goals, and Butler scored ten field goals.

OHIO TO HAVE NO EASY TIME California Looms Strong and Buckeyes’ New Year’s Task Looks Big. CHICAGO, Dec. B.—University of California’s football team, which will meet Ohio State. Western Conference cham- ! plons, in the Intersectional struggle at 1 Pasadena on New Year's day, has made a splendid record, which shows the aggregation to be one of great offensive and defensive power. The far western eleven is ably coached by Andy Smith, former University of . Pennsylvania player, who later coached iat Purdue. Before coming West Smith i was one of the assistant mentors at Penn I at the time Michigan played home and | home games with the Red and Blue. WHAT BUCKEYES MILL MEET. During the time he was at Purdue Smith turned out teams which were worthy opponents for other Big Ten elevens. The teams were highly coached in fundamentals, while the defense was among the best ever displayed by Boilermaker teams. Purdue always had a concentrated attack with eleven men in every play, and It is only reasonable to assume Ohio State will be called upon to meet just such an offense. V. Among California's victims was Washington State College, which submitted to a 49-to-O defeat. It will be recalled that Washington State defeated Nebraska on Thanksgiving day, 21 to 20. It also will be remembered that the Cornhuskers went East and defeated Rutgers, and then gave Penn State a hard battle. In addition, Nebraska played great football against Notre Dame. • California has scored 452 points against Its opponents’ 14 in the eight games played. It ran up 127 points against St. Mary’s and defeated Stanford, 38 to 0. Oregon Aggies furnished the stiffest opposition, hut fell, 17 to 7. ROSS PREDICTS COAST VICTORY. . Norman Ross, well known swimmer of ! the Illinois A, C., has been In close touch with the football situation on the coast i this fall, and firmly believes California will win. Ross saw the Buckeyes against Chicago, and was not impressed with their showing. "Unless Ohio State can play much better football than it showed against Chii cago, the Californians will win sure," ; Ross said. “I have seen a lot of footj ball on the coast and it appears to me there is little difference In the style of j play. The players out there are just as j big, fast and aggressive and all they i need Is the coaching. I know the fans out there have confidence in Smith and for these reasons I look for an Ohio j defeat.” I The record of Smith’s eleven for the ! fall follows: California, 21; Olympic Club, !0. California. 88; Mare Island Marines, 0. California, 127; St. Mary’s, 0. Cnllj fornia, 79; Univeisity of Nevada, 7. CaliI fornia, 63; University of Utah, 0. California 17: Oregon Agggies, 7.
