Army and Navy Approach Rupture in Athletics Over Differences in 'Recruiting 9 Talent

BREAK LIKELY BETWEEN U. S. SERVICE TEAMS Annapolis and West Point on Verge of Football Split Over ‘Athletic Recruiting.’ ARMY CHIEF OFFENDER By HENRY FARRELL, United Pres* Sports Editor. NEW YORK. Jan. 6.—Disagreement over policies in “recruiting athletic” talent has brought Unce Sam’s two service schools to the point of an open football rupture. Whether the Navy shall sever all athletic relations with the Army or take ether means to obtain youncer athletes than the ones now used Is being asked of all Navy officers in a questionnaire sent out by the Annapolis Athletic Association. The agreement now in force between the two academies calls for football games in 1021 and 1922. However, if sentiment among the officers favors a break in relations the Army-Navy game may not be staged next fall. The difficulty Is the result of a disagreement over “proselyting,” a malady which is spreading among the big universities in the East. The athletic officials o* West Point maintain that their idea is not to recruit stars for the . .rpose of beating the Navy, but for the building up of a

Big Ten Fuss Starts, With Badgers Hurling Charges at Ohio State

SHDISOX, Wis.. Jan. 6.—The Ohio St-ate football team U cliarged with lack of sportsmanship by .John Richard*. football coach of the I'nivertty of Wisconsin, in a letter published in the Doily Cardinal, student paper discussing the break of football relation* between the two schools. Richards charged vl Iting coaches at Columbus were “treated to Insulting remarks; visiting players abused by the students; the visiting team hedged in on all sides by a crowd wearing side-line badges while vacant seats exist in the stands; the officials instructed and browbeaten; the Columbus press likes to ridicule the members of visiting teams, and wax facetious regarding their nationality.” Richards said a team he coached would never play Ohio State and he would resign If the Wisconsin faculty should ever Insist on a game. strong personnel for officers of the service and to train talented athletes to go out and take charge of athletic activity among the enlisted men. The first move of this kind. It is said, brought Elmer Oliphant. Purdue star, to the academy. Last year French and the Storck brothers were given appointments, according to reports. . . This year invitations were extended, it is said, to Benny Boynton, the star quarter back of Williams College; to the two Boston College stars, Urban, one of the best ends in the country and Fitzpatrlck, among the best kickers of the season; and Flowers, the star back of Georgia Tech. , , This aroused the ire of the Navy and caused a divergence of opinion. Part of the Annapolis officers wanted to Ignore the move of West Point and play the Cadets despite the handicap Some wanted the same means of “recruiting - ’ adopted at Annapolis and others favored a break in all athletic relations.

Fighting Mitchells in New York to Take on Gotham’s Best Maulers

NEW YORK, Jan. 0. —Several violent fistic disturbances will be recorded within the next ten days if the “fighting Mitchells" have their way about it The Mitchell brothers—Richie and Pinkie—are here from Milwaukee to start the new year with a loud bang by punching several large dents in the lightweight division. Pinkie, who will start the campaign Friday night against Willie Jackson, will wind up hard training today and tomorrow. Richie, who meets Champion Benny Leonard in the same arena, Jan. 14, plans to be in the best condition of bis career to battle for the coveted title. The coming of the Mitchells to New York marks a rather unique departure in the way of boxing attractions. Both are topnotch lightweights who come from a fighting family and their Invasion is a real lntersectionai affair, for they will take on the two best lightweights New York has developed in many a day in Jackson and Leonard. Naturally enough bouts will attract wide attention as well as stimulate interest in the lightweight division, which promises to have a banner year. The Mitchell boys are managed by a third member of their own family—Billy —which recalls a number of instances in the history of boxing where members of the same family have won honors in the ring. Notable among families that have had three members in the fistic business were the McOoverns, Leons. Philadelphia Moores and the Cross family, though none of these were able to boast of two snch fighters as Richie and Pinkie Itchell. ' Then there were the Attella—Abe, Monte and Caesar —the “twin” Sullivans. Jack and Mike; the Brocks, Phil and Matty; Harry and Clarence Forbes, Mike and Tommy Gibbons. Jack and Charley White. Willie and Charley Beecher and Joe and Johnny Shugme, not to mention Georgge Chip and his brother Joe. Fighting brothers are plentiful enough if one delves into the records, hut the case of the Mitchells is a bit different from the ordinary run for there is little to choose between them except Richie is a legitimate lightweight, whereas Pinkie is growing and Just about ready to bound into the welterweight division.

SPORT EDITORIAL

The time has come for basket-ball team followers to show less antagonism toward the referees and umpires. In other words the soft pedal must be placed on referee-baiting if the great indoor game is going to continue to grow in popularity as a wholesome sport. Everyone realizes the futility of the practice of umpire-baiting in baseball and if basket fans only will stop to think they will recognize referee-baiting as a twin-brother to baseball umpire-bait-ing. It is a practice that smacks of the win-at-any-cost spirit that has no place In amateur athletics and only tends to make the task of controlling the game harder for the officials. This is the first season that referee-baiting has assumed dangerous proportions and no doubt is just another off-shoot of the so-called letdown In the deportment of the public In general At any rate, with no other solution of the menace at hand, It probably is best to charge its growth up to the war along with the rest of the “waves.” In the earlier games of the season here many people were Inclined to place the blame for the referee ’’razzing” on the gambling element and, though that element admittedly has been responsible for some of it, later games developed the fact that the harsh criticism of officials Is found where the betting element is not present. Therefore, it Is evident the evil is spreading and that it s due time for the rooters to collect themselves and return to normalcy. If the basket fans will give the situation serious thought they will realize the rules of the game are plainly written and that unless the officials force the players to abide by those rules the net sport will take the downward path. Naturally a basket fan wants to see his favorite team win, but ho must also understand that unless his team plays according to the regulations It runs the risk of having fou's called. This city and State fortunately are supplied with competent officials, some more efficient than others. It is true, but all striving to give their best service and therefore worthy of being treated as men performing their duty and not as targets for jeers and threats. To the credit of high school rooters It must be said they are not guilty of deriding officials and It would l>o well for the followers of independent and college teams to try to train themselves to view games in the same enthusiastic but gentle manner the youngsters are displaying.

WITH THE INDEPENDENT AMATEURS

We offer for your approval Saturday , night, Ferndnle vs. North Side \ets at' Ferndale: Independent Athletic Club vs. | Carmel Kelts at I. A. C . and South i Side Turners vs. Whiteland at Turner Hall. Which is not such a bad card. We don’t know how the Ferndal-s aro taking things, but the North Side Yets ar> preparing f>r a mean jam on the Ferndale tloor. It seems as though their rivalry seeds were among those that fell on furti’e soil and most anything can I*, expected as a result of their meeting. Both of these teams were in the front line when they started passing out physical powers. The Independent-Carmel game should be one worth anybody’s war tax. Jhe Kelts have been playing basket-nail for some little time and always make things interesting for the opposition. Tubby O’Connor, former Manual player. Is leading a clever team of former nlga ; schoolers under the I. A. C. colors lvse locals have wou one and lost one so far this season, so Saturday night’s game will just about spin the yarn. Tom Quill's Turners will play Whiteland, then follow up with a dance. They’ve got a raft of classy shlndlggers" on the south side, but we haven t got tfcp nerve to say much of the. Turner court men until after they redeem them selves for that Y. M. H. A. defeat last night. At that the Turners aren't much to ! blame for'that 155 to 15 beating Secrest. Schaefer and Henry, main-days of the team, were out of the city last night and Johnny Klee had to pick up three new men before he could put a team on the floor. The result was a lack of teamwork both on defense and offense. This player shortage, however, Is not a fiat alibi' for the Turner defeat, because Ilank Stevens, Joe Rosenthal. Mike Rosenthal Mike Sagalowsky and Dave Ya ver were “right" last night and there is not a team in Indianapolis that could nave made them look like bush leaguers. A better guarding game than that of the Jewish club was never played on the south side court, while Stevens. Joe Ro sentbal and Mike Sagalowsky were good 'or points every time, they got a deceut shot. If the Turners had pushed them , hard the Jewlshers would have kicked out a bigger total. Joe Rosenthal went further to prove | his ability as a forward last night by scoring from beyond the center of the floor five times, and otherwise playing a brilliant game. We’U class Joe with ; the best of them any day in the week, providing he gets rid of that fuzzy stuff on his upper lip. The Em-Roes were on the gloom end of a 12-to-ll count at Falrmount when the first half closed last night, but they , came around In the second period and grabbed a 29-to-21 victory. This wouldn't hare been such a remarkable feat for them a year or two ago, but it listens good at this time. The Cincinnati Y. M. C. A. swamped the Indianapolis Butler Law five under a 49-to-25 count at Cincinnati last night. The Wildcats passed circles around the locals and got most of their points from under the basket Although the game was played indoors, reports from Cincinnati say that Snowcovered the floor well for the Wildcats. Maybe the Indianapolis Lawyers aren't used to playing under these conditions. Seyfred and Rothrock were the only Lawyers who could travel their usual pace. Seyfred got four field goals and Rothrock tossed three. The Boys’ Club Cubs handed the Chrlstamore Triangles a lacing last night the score being “approximately" 65 to 12. The Cubs are bringing the Junior champs of Muncie here for a Saturday night game, which should be interesting. The Muncie lads claim the 125-pound championship of Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky. Some basket talent of the highest class will cavort around Tomlinson Hall floor Monday, Jan. 24, when the best players that have been turned out at Manual and Shortridge High Schools In the past ton years will organize under their respective colors and get together to decide which school has turned out the classiest material in the past half-score of seasons. The Manual line-up will include Schoeneman, Kline, Babb, Feeney, Rice, Bar-

Other Manual prospeefs mentioned will be seen In action before tho scrap closes. The Shortridgers probably will start the game with Stevens and Bornstein. forwards; Hennessey, center, and Middlesworth und Frankfort, guards. Feeney and Bornstein are captains of their respective teams. This contest should be one to keep the fans wide awake at all times. The Boys’ Club Tigers are sending out plenty of of calls for competition. They aiv ready to meet any junior club In the Ptate, tut claim there are few teams in their class ready to meet them. They want to hear from the beat teams oniv. For further information c.tll Main 1992, or address Mr. Caldwell Boys’ Club, Median street and Madison avenue. Here’s room for lots of argument.

Now, the Jakes say that the Bimbos scored two baskets In this extra time, which said baskets the Blinbos insist on taking credit for. regardless of protest from the Jakes. The Bimbos say the Jakes are talking through their elbow pads, and that they, the Bimbos, won by all that's right and Just. The Jakes go further to say that If the Bimbos can’t convince themselves that they were trounced, they may have a date set for another game by calling Main 8886 and asking for Gill. Othor city and State teams desiring to meet the Jakes should call the same number. Two good basket-ball games are on the card at the Y. M. C. A. tonight. At 7:45 the Junior Chmhcr of Commerce team and the Kurt-Te-Se fives will meet. The Junior Chamber of Commerce will have the two Stevens brothers In their line-up, while the Kurt-Te-Se have the entire "Y” leader team. In the second game the Den Zare Club will play the Pair-O-Dlce Club and ns these two teams have been great rivals for the past two years a great game Is expected. The l>cn Zare Club has three of last year’s Technical High School players. Slaughter, Hawkins and Black, and Morris Conn, who won fame at Manual a few years ago. The Palr-O-Dice boys have strengthened their team and claim they are going to give the Den Zare* their first defeat of the season. Cathedral Elects Mooney and Ruckelshaus Captains Mark Mooney has been elected to lead this year’s Cathedral High School basketball team, and Johnnie Ruckelshaus has been chosen to lead the 1921 Cftthedra! football eleven. These selections were made at a Joint meeting of the Cathedral basket-ball and football men yesterday afternoon. Mooney has been the stellar forward of the Cathedral court team for the past two years und his election to lead the 1920-21 quintette was unanimous. Rtickelshaus played end on the 1920 football team and proved himself one of the strongest cogs In the combination. The Blue and Gold basket outfit was to meet tho Indiana State School for the Deaf on the Masonic Hall floor at 4 o'clock thii afternoon and they were determined to wipe out the stain of Tuesday's defeat by the Collegian team. The team could not find the baskets In tho Tuesday contest, but a long drill yesterday showed them bombarding in real fashion. CARD PLANS READY.

Dental Five Turns in Big Count Over Central Normalites The Indiana Dental College basket [crew met with little opposition in their game with the Central Normal court representatives on the Shortridge floor last night, winning by a 42 ro 17 count. The Tooth-Pullers held a 21-to-8 lead at the close of the first period, and after they had run the count up to 35 to 8 in a few- moments of the second half, n second-string squad was sent out to taqgle with the Teachers. From then on tho going was fairly even. The Dentals uncovered a clever passing game to work the ball over the court and would hove ran up a much higher point total if they had a better eye for the basket. Reeve, Dental forward, was the big star of the game, caging ten field goals from every angle of the floor. MeVaugh also made a good showlug in tho score column.
