Butler Quint Gives Boilermakers Great Game Before Losing Purdue Held Nearly Even Until Final Minutes—Other College Games. Purdue University basket tossers were forced to cover their own court at top speed for a full forty minutes to score a 37-to-2S victorv over Butler in the feature Indiana collegiate court game last night. In the other college games played, Earlham defeated the Dentals, 21 to 10, and State Normal came through with a 29-to-27 win over the Vincennes “Y." Pat Page and his crew have no excuse to make for their showing at Lafayette last night. The Blue and White machine made the Purdue five battle hard for every point and the going was just as rapid In the final minute as it was In the first. LESLIE FIRST TO HIT BASKET. The large crowd that packed the Purdue gymnasium was somewhat surprised to see "Little Butler - ’ tear Into the Purdue athletes with all the fight in ths world and their surprise reached larger dimensions when Leslie, Butler flo>>\ guard, sent Butler to the front with the first field goal of the game. Purdue threw a wonderful defease around their basket and It was very few shots that the Indianapolis athletes got from short range. Hooker and Leslie, however, bed their eyes on the heap and brought round after round of applause with their clever distance shots This eomblnat. ou scored all but two of Butler's points. Brown registering the other points late in the second period. The lead switched back and forth In the first period and when the half-time arrived there was little to choose between tbe two quintettes.

I. U. GRADS AND GRIDSTEIIS JOLLIFY

Unless Harvard University football players have nerves of Iron It would not have been well for them to have put in an appearance around the Columbia Club last night and hear all the "nbe things slid about them by the In liana old grads of Indianapolis and hwird all the stories told about the awful trouncing they are going to get next fail when they tangle with the Cream un>l Crimson huskies under the wing of Coach Jumbo Stlehm. The old grads staged a big celebration in honor of the 1120 I. U. team, and to show that tbev have all the confidence in the world In Coach Ptiebm turning out a 1921 squad that will go Into th*' Bast and conquer that mighty football machine that has not tasted defeat in three seasons. GREAT CROWD OF I. U. BOOSTERS. Fred Bates Johnson was the official toastmaster nnd pep dispenser, but he didn’t have to do much dispensing after he opened festivities with something that sounded like "Delinquent Taxes liar yard.” which he said was Greek for "Harvard must be crushed." and nobody seemed to doubt his word. Those few words were all that was needed to throw a volcano of fire into the heart of every man present. i They hardly took time to eat the hot biscuits and turkey before opening up with a volley of war whoops, both Individually and collectively, that forced the waiters to scurry to shelter and leave the dining hill to as happy a gang of university boosters as the world has ever known. All present had too-mneh-for-words praise for the 1920 Indiana t am, and zometMug to say, sing or shout about what Is going to happen to Harvard. That was the big question, or rather the big statement —what’s going to happen to Harvard. According to Coach Stlehm, Harvard Is due for a lacing next fall. According to Captain-elect Kyle and every meonber of the squad, Ilurvard is due for a lacing, and, according to the old grads. Harvard Is due for a heck of a klcklng-up. According to Ilermau Dupree, who admits he studied "African golf' at Indiana some few years ago. Harvard can “read ’em und sob, 'cause Indiana's coming out on seven the first throw.” And the Indianapolis old grads are going to be there when Harvard reads ’em. Dale Crtttenberger Informed those at the gathering that the “Committee of Seventeen” has everything fixed up for an "Indiana Special,” running out of Indianapolis, and those at the gathering informed Dale that they would be there with chimes on. There should be at least a brace of century fan* on this train, beside* the footballers. Then- were just three Instances when the old grads brushed off the laughter last night. First, when Conch Stlehm ripped the opposing Big Ten Conference coaches up one side and down the other

for the Turners, their first appearance bringing them an easy victory over the Falrbanka-Morse team last week. The Turners have put In several hard practice sessioDß for tonight's game and their followers are confident that they will turn the strong New Palestine outfit, which has cone undefeated in six games, back with the short side of the count. In the curtain raiser tonight the Turner seconds will clash with the Phi Kappa Theta Fraternity team. There will be a basket-ball game and dance at Turner Hall every Saturday bight from now until the end of the season. The Little Giants came through with a 16-to-12 victory over the Boy Scout Troop 62 team, the work of Klelu of the winners being the bright light of the game. Teams desiring game.. in the 11-year-old claea should get in touch with the manager of the Giants at Prospect 6206. TIPTON. Ind., Dec. 18.—The Tipton Independents defeated the Frankfort American Legion team, 57 to 23, making seven straight victories for the Tipton crew. The Indianapolis I'm-Roes will be here for a game with the Independents Wednesday night. I Outfielder Bayliss Killed JOPLIN, Mo., Dec. 18.— Relatives of Hs'rv Owen (Dick) Bayliss, former outfielder in the Western Association, Western League anu Pacific Coast League. have received word of his death in an explosion in a copper mine at Santa Rita, i New Mexico.

IW^UM

The Capitol No. 1 regulars look upon themselves to make history this week. They got big scores of all descriptions and the fellow who didn’t have a two-century tacked up somewhere behind his name was a sort of curiosity. The Claman Brothers took three games from tbe Taggart Bakers posting the high team score of the night in their third game. The count was 1,069. Steffen had Bcores of 197. 224 and 263, and Hall had counts of 197, 212 and 245 for the Ciamaus. The Sales Extensions won two games from tbe Em Roes and ran second to the Clamans in team scores with their count of 1,940. A1 Sclioen was the big gent of this outfit, getting 256, 202 and 194. Elmore and Natighton kept the EinRoes from losing the third game by posting a couple of whopper scores. Next in the order of big events comes the 1.012 score posted by the Electric Shoppers in their second game against the Armour five. Electrics won three games. Willie Shine got a trio of double centuries for the Electrics, the best being a 246. The Faust kid got a brace of 233 scores and a 176. The Strauss Says crew sure had to wiggle a mean ankle to thump the Steinharts. They won the first game by four pins, just barely got under the wire iu the second game, and lost the third. It wasn't the fault of English and Westover that the Straus* team didn't get a couple of 1.000 totals. They both got plenty of wood. The Store Correct and Capitol Alley tennis tied In their first game, the Store Corrects winning the second by six pins, and the third bv two. That's what you call real competition. Dlstler of the Franklin Motors was the Csoitol League man of the Beam clr cult He hit the wood for counts of 246, 200 and DO. Reinking and Pauley went big along with Dlstler and the Franklins got a I,ol< total In their first game. They beat the Folk crew three times. Karnan had 202 and 204 scores for the Polks Bernhardt got a rouple of big ones for the Ferndab-s and his team took three easy ones from the Remingtons. Darnell played the wrong end for the North Side Vet* and they lost two games to the La Tonia Cigars. The Printing Crafts shooters kept up the sensational stuff. Chryst of the News went big for one game with a 244 blew. Blurt and Hlnchmann for the Indian npo'ls Engravers noil McCollum nnd 1> rsey for the Cornelius Printers fought a mean battle, Hlnn nnd llluchman being returned the victors. Each of tbe four hud a brace of double hundred counts. It took none other than Bartlett of the

Personal taste is the big thing In their work, according to Stlehm, ami many of the so-called big guns of the Conference, Including Illinois and Ohio State, refuse to play Indiana because, on account of the grow lug atr-ngth of the Crimson, they arc afraid of a defeat and. because of financial conditions, they will not consent to "home and home” scheduling with the Bloomington athletes Stlehm said he could have met some of the bigger Conference team* In 1921 had he let them dictate all terms nnd play in early season so that the game might be ciilicd a sort of "practice event” lor the alleged bigger team*. Stlehm snvs fbat Indiana's practice enmes ore put In the discard and from now on the Cream and Crimson will have something to sav about Its own games. Stlehm Intends to erove to the world in the Harvard game that Indiana is no longer ii second-rater, but a real-for-sure football outfit. Cups were presented to three members of the team for their work In the Indi-nr.a-Notre Darue game.

Local High School Fives Go Over Top in Friday Contests Manual , Shortridge and Tech Kit Strides and Stack Up Victories. The unexpected occurred in local high school basket circles last night w-hen the Manual, Shortridge nnd Tech machines hied themselves forth to battle and came through with three victories Manual beat Crawfordsvllle, 30 to 17; Shortridge beat Thorntown, 19 to 16, and TY>oh slipped It over on Columbus, 26 to The Manual win does not create such a stir as those of Shortridge and Tech, as the Red and White athletes show more wins than defeats for the Heason, while the youngsters from the north siu>- and those from the east side were all defeats until last night. Now that they have caught their stride, bigger things undoubtedly will come to pass. Manual had a harder fight with Crawfordaville than the score indicates. Coach Morrison’s lads were not running right when the contest opened nnd they were shoved to the bottom side of the count In a hurry, but they slowly worked themselves together and were on even terms with their opponents when the half ended, the score being 10 to 10. HAit.UF.HON BOYS FIND BASKET. Crawfordavlllo slipped back into the lead when Johnson tossed n foul goal eurly In tbe second half, but Ht this point the Harmeson brothers and Wertz started firing in the basket and soon had their team out in front by a comfortable margin. Each of tho Harmeaon* counted five field goals and Wertz hit the ring four times. McClnmrock and Johnson did most of tbe scoring for C'rawfordsvUle. There was never more than a threepoint difference in the ShortridgeThorntowu score and it was not until the smoke of battle had cleared off the north side count that the Shortridge fans felt sure of shouting over the victory. Shortridge held the bad throughout th first period, which ended with the count 11 to 8, but In the second session the visitors fought hard and nosed ahead of Coach Julius’ men twice during the final three minutes of going. On each of these occasions. Harvey, who got In the game late, brought Shortridge back In the lead with clever shots from the floor. There was less than a minute to go In the second half the, score standing 16 to 15 In favor of Thornto'vn, when Harvey performed his last life saving stunt, tossing a goal from near the cenur of the floor. Richards came along wi:h a neat follow-up shot for Shortridge before, the contest closed. The rrortridge passing game was gr.sitl.v Implored last night, and If tho north slders ■an progress throng.tout the season a* they have done so far they will be ready to place a real bid for the local see ilonul honor*.
