CITY TOURNEY BOWLING, WINTER BASEBALL, BASKET-BALL NOTES AND BILLIARD NEWS
SELECTS FOUR N. D. PLAYERS ON STAR TEAM Chicago Grid Critic Places Gipp, Kiley, Coughlin and Smith on All-Western. BIG TEN STARS NAMED BY LUTHER A. HI'STON. International News Staff Correspondent. CHICAGO, Dec. 13—The two best footbll teams In the Middle West the past season were Notre Dame and Olilo Bute. It is fitting, therefore, that these teams should predominate In the selection of an All-Western eleren. The two best teams In the Big Ten Conference were Ohio State and Illinois, hence these teams naturally are the heaviest contributors to the All-Conference eleven. The above statements are made with no Intent to disparage Wisconsin, lowa and Indiana, eich of which had fast and powerful elevens. In fact, some critic* considered Wisconsin a better team than Illinois, and It finished higher in the percentage colnmn. but Bob Zuppke bosaed an-eleven that possessed player* and elements to make it rank with the greatest In the country. The fact that it fell before a couple of adversaries late in the season in no way detracts from its potentialities. The machine Just slipped a cog, as any machine is likely at times tb do. K.YI> RIVALS RANK CI.OSE. Paradoxically, we wtjl start at the ends to discuss this All-Western team that we bare selected. Which brings us first of aU to ‘•Chuck” Carney of Illinois. This ltd is s football player from his toes to his thatch, which reaches an altitude of About six feet. He Is a marvelous recover of forward passes and Is rated wlthont a peer In defending his wing. An all-star team without the clever •‘Chock” would not be an all-star team. Kiley of Notre Dame ranks very little

Behind Cnrncy in his all-around work and is clearly entitled to t-am it with the Illinois crack. On the all-Conference team Kiley must : be dropped, as Notre Dame Is outside the I pale of the "Big Ten.” Lester Belding, I the rangy jumping-jack from lowa, drops into the vacant berth and Carney is! moved over from the atl-Western. Bel-! ding likewise is a star at snaring the elusive forward pass and knows all the tricks that an end needs to know. Other good ends in the Middle West were “Truck" Meyers of Ohio State, who Would fit nicely into an al’.-star eleven, if It were not for the outstanding abilities of Catkey and Belding; E. Anderson of Notre Dame, Weston of Wisconsin, Hellstrom of Illinois, and Strohmeler of Chicago. Now the tackles. There was a One assortment of these lads in the Middle '' <=• this vear. In honoring Captain Huffman of Ohio, and Captain Coughlin of Notre Dame, the all-Western team is grovtd.'d with a pair of giants who played the game with Intelligence nnd power against a host of brilliant opponents. With Coughlin ineligible for the aU-Conference team, the jiost. goes to Capt. .\ugiiKt Goetz of Michigan, who wag the mainstay of the Wolverine line itnd a player of exceptional ability. Wisconsin * had a flrst-ciass tackle, good enough for uny team, in Scott, aud Indiana aad a prize in Klsley, who. in addition to bis prowess in the line, was *ne of the best drop kickers in tiie Middle West. Other tackles worthy of mention were Pticellk of Nebraska' McGuire of Chicago. Olanuer of Illinois. Birk of l’urdue, and SlaU-r the dusky giant from lowa. g In the guard positions there was more •fa paucity of good men than In any other department. Maurice Smith of Notre Dame was the one outstanding guard of the season. J. Taylor of Ohio Is given the second berth because he was the ■£est of what is left. Brader of Wisconsin replaces Smith in picking the sil-Con-ference team because of his general dependability. rather than for any brilliance. Duke Dunne of Michigan, and McC'aw of Indiana are worthy of seme mention. DEPLER CLASS AT CENTER. There is only one answer to the center proposition and that is Cspt. Johnny Depler of Illinois. He stands out like a ’ long skirt” at the Follies. He gets the Job on both the All-Western and AllConference outfits. Nemecek of Ohio, gnd Bunge of Wisconsin are good centers but they lack the finish that made Depler one of the bes: men In the country. Quarter Backs of class were as plentiful lr, the Middle West as Icicles In the Arctic. Naming the winner for the allstar team is a difficult Job. Because of his forward passing ability aud his knack of running with the ball. Aubrey Devine, of lowa, is picked for the AllWestern berth. Devine is a rare player and a clever field general. Bob Fletcher of Illinois outranks Devine In Just one particular. Fletcher's hHnd'ing of his team is uncanny. As Fieding H. Yost said of him. "He never does anything wrong. ' Devine is not a numbskull at handling his team by any means. however, aud in mechanical ability he excels Fletch-r. It will later be explained why Fletcher gets the quarter back Job on the All-Conference eleven. Ranking only a step behind Devine and Fletcher is "Hoge” Workman of Ohio. Workman is probably the best of the three at hurling forward passes and his long heaves were a potent factor In the success of the Ohio team this year. But Workman is not the field general that Fletcher and Devine are and lack* the finish that comes with experience. Next year he should give them all a battle Braudy. of Notre Dame; Mathys. of Indiana: Captain Arntson, of Minnesota, and Davey of Wisconsin are other good quarter backs. GIPF GREATEST OF nALF BACKS. Glpp and Stinchcomb. Boy, what n pair of half backs these athletes provide for the all-Western! Glpp Is probably (he greatest half back lu the country this year. He can run with the ball around the end or plunge through the Mne; he can heave forward passes a yard or a mile as the occasion demands; be can boot the ball over for a drop kick from anj where near the fifty-yard line, and his punting is a delight to all who see It. Stinchcomb is only a shade behind Gipp in his ability to carry the ball and he owns a wise little noodle that made him the real brains of Jack Wlice's championship outfit. Gipp, of course, cannot get on the allConferene* team, so for the first time in this all-star symposium a player la twitched out of the position he has played all season. Except Stinchcomb. mere arc- no really outstanding half backs in the “Big Ten.” Aubrey Devine, however, is as good at half for this eleven, and Bob Fletcher given an honor be richly deserves by being named as the All-Conference quarter. With Glpp and Stinchcomb crowding the spotlight In the half back roles few others had a chance to shine, but Mohardt and Barry of Notre Dame; Hartley of Nebraska, Elliott of Wisconsin. Minton of Indiana, Stekete* of Michigan and Oss of Minnesota, are worthy of mention. Oss would have been bard to keep off the all-star aggregations had not injuries prevented hlg playing up i to the form he snowed last year. L Mknkcd hj a psfir of halves like Gipp
Post-Season Football RENSSELAER, Ind., Doc. 13.—Rensselaer defeated Morocco In a post-season football game at the latter place Sunday before a crowd of 6,000. The score was 6 to 3, Rensselaer pushing over a touchdown in the third quarter after trailing at half tltue, 3 to 0. Rust, Morocco quarter back, booted a drop kick through the Rensselaer uprights lu the second quarter. Rensselaer's touchdown resulted from a forward pass, Collins to Pbegley, the latter carrying It to the Morocco onevard mark. The ball was carried over a line plunge by Eigelsbach.
HIGH SCHOOL BASKET GOSSIP
Last week-end was a disastrous one for the Indianapolis High School basket quintettes. Shortridge got beat twice, losing to Wabash Friday, 18 to 8, and to Logansport Saturday, 31 to 11 Tech and Manual lost the only games they played. Tech took the count before Franklin at the Y. M. C. A. Saturday night 36 to 21. Manual was defeated, 22 to 10, by the Seymour crew at Seymour. Friday night. Some day one of the local high schools niav turn out a State championship basket-ball team, but It certainly won’t be this year. However, all three teams this year are evenly balanced and capable If giving any aggregation in the State a hard game. Tech deserves credit for the* fight It put up against Franklin, considering that three of the Green and White athletes who started the game were playing their first contest of the season. Franklin looked mighty good to the big crowd of basket followers. The downstaters displayed one of the most finished passing games ever exhibited by a high school team In thia city. The team Is one of the lightest In Hoosler basket circles this year. After seeing Franklin in action, one wonders what kind of a machine Coach Staggs has under his wing at Anderson. A team that can wallop Franklin the way Anderson did must be a wonderful aggregation for high school competition and it la safe to predict that before the close of the aeaaon Anderson will .have Its name written prominently on the Hoosler baaket-ball map. Anderson beat Martinsville, always a dangerous team, 00 to 22 Saturday for their eleventh straight win of the seaS °?n Williams, Anderaon forward SHiggs appears to have a Goldsberrv and Stonebraker combined. This athlete got nine field goals against Franklin nnd ten against Martinsville •Tnzzv” Vandiver, Franklin ace. ia one I Os the best high school basket-ball player* seen here in many a day. He is the key lo the Franklin passing game, plays a whale of a floor game and 1* a wonderful shot, both from the field and the foul ilne. , . Fat Rage. Butler athletic director, aim Jut Paul, athletic manager, were interested spectator* at the Tech-Frankllu gram®, getting a line on the high fchool athletes Ohio may be noted for presidents and baseball championships and Kentucky for moonshine, btit you've got to baud it to Indiana when It comes to basket-ball. Tech will meet Cumberland Wednesday in the Tech gym and the eaat aiders have a great chance to score their first victory of the season. On Wednesday Coach Black will take his men to Columbßs for a game with the high school tdtiu of that place. This latter contest will supply the first means of conquering Tech and Manual, as the Bed and White defeated that team recently, 23 to 7. and Stinchcomb. or Stinchcomb and Devine, big Jack Crangle of Illlnol* could write full back history on any eleven. Any time a yard Is needed Jack can Jam his way through the line, and when It comes to stopping opponents who break through on attack, he stops 'em suden and bard. Snndt of Wisconsin, Willamaa of Ohio, Wynne of Notre Dame, Locke of lowa and Kyle of Indiana, were hard-working, hard-hitting full backs who merit a full meed of praise. Let Gipp captain the All Western and Stinchcomb the All-Conference and the 1920 football season, the most prosperous In the history of the Middle West, can be packed away in mothballs.

Manager Callahan la confident his team Is rounding to form for t.ic remaining contests on the card and Is not disheartened over the showing of the team In the opening contest* of the seeC.on. The Era Roes meet the Wabnah five at Crawfordsville Thursday night of this week, while the next home contest of the local five will be staged against the Notre Dame five at the Y. M. C. A. KOKOMO, Ind., Dec. 13.- The local high school five won from Wabash oa the home floor by the score of 32 to ’3. Kokomo plays Marion and Elwood this week. The opening games of the Federated Basket-Ball League will be played on Thursday night at the Y. M. C. A., when the Junior Chamber of Commerce and th Palr-O-Dlce clubs meet and the Den Aare and Kurt-ti-se fives battle. All games will start at 7:45 o’clock, and some exciting contests are assured the public. The Independent Athletic Club basket men offered little opposition to the star Mooresvll’.e Elk team on the I. A. L. court Saturday night and were defeated. 40 to 6 It was the first game of the season for the locals and showed plainly the lack of team work, which should be perfected with a few scrimmages this week. For the first five minutes both teams fought it out on even terms, but after that the Elks started pulling away and were soon having things their own way. Klein, forward, and Babb, floor guard formerly with the Indianapolis Em-Roes, were the feature performers with the visiting team. Babb seems to be covering the court with more speed than ever this year. NEW PALESTINE, Ind., Dec. 13.— The New Palestine Independents would like to arrange games with the best junior teams In Indiana, those of Indianapolis preferred. For further Information, call or write Kenneth Coffee, New Palestine. Fast Time in Swim Meet Keen competition marked the first swimming meet of the Y. M. C. A. season Saturday at the local pool. Willis and Darby featured the contests, each having three flrsta to their credit In the senior events, while Lewis copped both Junior contest*. WUlis won the forty-yard free-tayle in fast time, while he also landed first In the 100-yard back stroke and the 100-yurd free style. The latter event was a battle to the end between the winner und Camplaln. Darby won the 220-yard fieestyle, the 220-yard breast stroke and the 440-yard event*. Hartley was the first in the dire, while Fowler f won th# plunge for distance. All of the records established will go down as Y. M. C. A. records.
George Gipp’s Condition SOUTH BEND, lnd„ Dec. 13.—George Glpp, Notre Dame football star, was reported in a dying condition at 2:30 o’clock this morning by authorities at St. Joseph’s Hospital, where the student has been fighting for three weeks against streptocclc throat trouble resulting from tonsllltls. Physicians In charge of the case were called to the hospital for a hurried consultation. At 7 o'clock this morning the hospital authorities gave out tuformatlon that Glpp was a little better.
Shortridge will meet Thorntown Friday on the Shortridge floor, and since the upataters have made anything but an impressive record to date Coach JuUu*’ proteges also have a good chance to break Into the win column for the first time this year. This week will be a busy one for Coach Morrison’s Manual basket-bailers, no less than four contests being booked on the Red and White card. On Friday the regular State team will be divided into two sections, one going to Crawfordsville and the other to Brownsburg. The same night the Manual seconds will meet the Brownsburg seconds In a curtain raiser to the big Manual-Brownsburg contest. Saturdoy Morrison will pit his hard working athletes against Shelbyville at the local M. C. A., nnd it will be no slouch game for the local tossers. Although Shelbvvilie holds a decisive win over Tech the Manual game will furnish no means of accurately comparing the two local squads, as Black’s quintette fell before Shelbyvtlle before it had been strengthened hy the recent additions from the football team.

GOLDSBERRY OF WABASH. Indianapolis fans are expecting big things of the Wabash College basketbailers when they take on the Merchants Heat and Light five at the Y. M. C. A. tomorrow night, and they are expcetlr g more than the ordinary performance from Alonzo Goldsberry, 1919 all-American high school center, who is holding down the pivot position and playing the starlight role for Coach Vaughan’s team. In the Wabash victory over the EmRoes last week, Goldsberry was the big tigure on the court. He displayed plenty of speed, fight, shooting accuracy and good, sound court brains. The college boys will have the advantage of another week of training when they meet the Merchants and should show more form than they did against the strong Green and White combination. Both teams are confident of posting the victory total. The Merchants have reorganized their line-up and have put in some strenuous practice sessions for the college game. It Is the ambition of the Merchants to make a better showing than the Em-Roe* and they mean to put their best efforts into tomorrow night’s tussle. Jumping against Goldsberry tomorrow night will be Homer Stonebraker. the shining light of the original Wabash Wonder Five. “Stonle” will join out with the Merchants for tomorrow’s game, and It will b i Interesting to watch the battle between the veteran and the youth who Is taking his place as a Scarlet court here.

Dentals Face Strong Earlham Five Friday; Team Bolsters Defense After a rest of three days the Indiana Dental College bnsket-bail team will •tart training Tuesday for the game against Earlham College at Richmond Friday night. The Dentals know they are meeting a strong team when they clash with Earlbam. Coach Mowe’s Quakers are better than last season, haring lost no players and having been reinforced by several new stars. The Tooth Pullers noted that Earlham defeated the Antioch College laat week, 60 to 14, and the Indianapolis athletes know that they must present a strong defensive team to halt the Quakers. This will be the last game for the Dentals before the Christmas vacation. However, the Dentals have a hard schedule arranged for the two months of 1921. The schedule will open Jan. 5 In this city, when the Dentals meet Central N’ormul and the second game after the vacation will be with De Fauw at Greeneast le Jan. 7. , Title Cue Match CHICAGO, Dec. 13.—80 b Cannefax of San Francisco, present champion, and Johnny Leyton of St. Louis will meet here tonight in a match for the world's three-cushion billiard championship.

/. C. A . L . Schools in Move to Place Body on Spotlight Stage To Carry Out Plan of Reorganizing and Increasing League Membership. The Indiana College Athletic League, instead of being disbanded, is going to be reorganized and given* an increased membership, then set on the right track and be used as the chief Instrument for bringing secondary college sports nearer the front in Hoosler college athletic circles. “At a “do or die” meeting held at the local Y. M. C. A. Saturday, represents t!v*e of Butler, Franklin, Earlham. State Normal and Rose Poly met snd decided to take one final stab at putting the league, over and they started several movements which, it is believed, will supply ail that has been lacking in the progress of the body. There was not a lot of actual headway made Saturday; the majority of time In both the morning aud afternoon sessions was spent In talks hy various representatives present on the weak spots of the circuit, then other talks by other representatives on Just the sort of salve that wns needed to cure this bruise. Asa result, It was decided to chuck all talk of disorganization Into the trash can. As was suggested at the meeting In Terro Haute last spring the old constitution and by-laws of the league were pushed aside and the governing rules of the Big Ten adopted to the letter, with the one exception that every man will be eligible for four years of athletic competition. The Western Conference methods of booking and conducting athletic meet# and selecting officials also will be used In the future. Two officials will be used In each basket-ball game. The I. 0. A. L. track meet will be held at Butler, May 21, and Athletic Director Pat Page said he will do everything possible to nut the event over in big league style. Page says there Is an abundance of high-class athletic talent in the I. C. A. L. that can be brought to the fore with a little effort oq everybody's part and he la going to do more than his share. The work of admitting new schools Into the organization was postponed until the next meeting, which will be held here early In 1921. There was some talk at the meeting of scheduling 1921 football games, and It Is believed that the coaches will get together In their own way before the neit session, so that the cards can be au-nonn'-ed at that time The presidency of the league was alloted to Butler and it is probable that the Irvington athletic committee will select Coach Page for the leadership Job.
1.107 total being Just two less than that which is holding tenth place for Colvin and Mage!. Knipple pounded out a 574 count In th* singlet. Murr and Clsrk each potted a good game scor* In their doubles play. Murr hit for 223 for the opener, while Clark came back for 222 in the second game. McAllen stood out at the head of the one game column wNh a barricade of 231 pins, picked up in hit second game. He and Fulton started good, but they didn’t have the old stuff at the finish. Fred McCullough was the main reason why the Prltchett-McCnllougb combination didn’t get a good seat in the double* show Jess cracked the wood for a brace of double hundreds, but Fred couldn't **• thing* that way, shooting far below par. i Then when Pritchett got down to the singles and had a chance to do something for himself, he couldn’t connect. McCullough got started wrong In the singles, scoring 133, but after that he burned up, getting scores of 237 and 198. which gives him eleventh position. Cummings uncorked a 224 after he had bawled up the detail In his first and second games. MARION GETS ST.4 rE MEET. Marlon was selected as the location for the li>2l State bowling tournament by delegates to the Indiana Association meeting here yesterday The meet will be staged on the Academy alleys, which are equipped with all modern conveniences for the bowlers and spectators. - - The fact that Marion is .centrally located on the Indiana bowling map is indication that the April tournment will lie one of some siicce-ss. Close followers of the gume expect th# coming tourney to he one of the biggest staged i under the auspice* of the Huoslrr organization, and Indianapolis bowlers will not live up to expectations if they do not *end a record number of delegate” to the event.

Tad Gives Earful on Brennan-Dempsey Bout, and It’s All Dempsey
By TAD, Famous Cartoonist and 6 port s Writer. NEW YORK. Dec. 13.—Jack Dempsey will appear in a match at Madison Square Garden tomorrow night for the first time in hla life. Dempsey Is the only heavyweight champion with the exception of Jeffries and Jack Johnson, who has not appeared in Madison Square Garden. All the others, from Sullivan down, fought and won there. Tomorrow night tho champion meets Bill Brennan. We can’t say that we get an awful kick out of the match. Brennan is a good man. He's lust about Dempsey’s size and is a good boxer, but as far ns socking goes. Bill is a bic minus. Bill has met and won from a number of men that Dempsey met, but where they stuck along with Bill, they were carried out after meeting Dempsey. Dempsey stopped Brennan a few years ago In six rounds. After the bout Brennan declared a broken ankle forced him to stop. Tomorrow a broken Jaw may force him to “sky the wipe.’* There Is no betting on the bout at all. Odds are too great in Dempsey's favor. They are not even betting Bill will stay ten rounds, or even five. Bill may win with a K. O. Who knows? Certainly. The Athletics might beat the Cleveland Indians five in a row. Sir Barton might make Man-o’-War look as though he had s truck hitched on behind. But would you bet on it? HAVERHILL ON TOP. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Dec. 13— Duval High School, champion* of Florida, suffered It* first defeat this season here Saturday, when the Haverhill (Mass.) High School eleven won the Intersections! battle, 27 to 0.

NEW BASEBALL AGREEMENT IS HELP TO GAME Provides Punishment for Any Infraction of Rules and Gives Landis Power. DRAFT PROBLEM OPEN By JACK VEIQCK. International News Sports Editor. NEW YORK. Dec. 13.—Baseball Is surely going ahead. The new national agreement framed by the joint committee of major and minor league representatives is looked upon by baseball men here today ns the most important legislative step taken since tbe formation of the National League half a century ago. It Is an instrument, they say, that will accomplish things beyond the expectations of followers of the game, for It Is so wooded as to provide for the treatment of unseen emergencies. Perhaps the biggest feature of the new agreement is that it provides punishment fct infraction of the rules by clubs, players and others and for actions detrimental to the welfare of the game not covered by the written word. The power granted to Judge Landis is broader and farther reaching than that held by the old National Commission, but baseball men are satisfied that It has been placed In the best possible hands —the hands of a fearless and capable administrator. The fact that future questions which Interest both major leagues will be voted on bv clubs Instead of leagues Is one of the features of the new document, as Is the section which empowers Judge LanrHto impose a fine as high as $3,000 on~~fi major league club for an offense detrimental to the game. That the new agreement will be ratified by both major leagues Is a certainty. The National League will adopt It at It* meeting here tomorrow. The American League, which meets In Chicago this week, will also ratify it a£l) tho various minor leagues are expected to follow suit at a meeting in Chicago on Jan. 10. An agreement between the majors and miners covering the draft, territorial and f (layer protection and other matters of nterest is to be presented to all league* by the minor league committee which helped frame both new agreements. Each league will, of bourse, vote separately on tb* new agreement, but popular opinion among the minors favors practically every texture embodied In the document with the exception of the draft, against which a strong fight is being made off certain club owners in the Intennitivnai League and the American Association. The chances of the draft being restored, however, are good and those objection will, it is believed, be voted down when the minor league body meets in January. The International League went into session here today at the Imperial Hotel. Difference of opinion In regard to the draft in its ranks, not to mention squabbles over a salary limit and its observance were expected to keep the atmosphere warm for a time.
