SCARLET SEES HARD STRUGGLE WITH BUSSMEN Wabash Guards Against Overconfidence in Tomorrow's Clash With De Pauw. FANS EXPECT THRILLER CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Jan. 18.— Basket-ball fans of Wabash College and this city ar looking forward to an evening of great excitement tomorrow when tae De Panw Tigers invade the local confines to stack np against Pets Vaughan’s Scarlet machine. The fact that the Tigers are coming hers backed by a large following of rooters has convinced Wabash fans that the game will be uo easy one for the Scarlet to get away with. True, there's no question but that Wabash feels it has the necessary class to win, but it also is fearful of an upset and it Is determined to guard against overconfidence. De Pauw is credited with having an unusually speedy five and if the Tigers happened to have an exaggerated “on” night in basket throwing the Scarlet would find its hands full. In addition the Wabash-De Pauw games of any sort usually are close and hence local rooters will be satisfied with any kind of a victorious margin the Wednesday contest. Coach Vaughan is giving his athletes careful coaching and he believe* every member of the squad is ready for tne fray. The reserves also are ready and if the local machine runs true to form the scarlet hosts expect another scalp in its march toward the State intercollegiate title. The recent Wabash clean-up of the Purdue quintette sent Scarlet stock soaring and Coach Vaughan is anxious that his team put the skids under the De Pauw contenders in the same decisive manner He watched the Tiger* in their game t. th Earlhata recently and realizes that Coach Buss has a well-oiled machine. but he believes his Scarleteers are better when they are hitting on their true 6tride. Preparations have been made to handle a record crowd for the game tomorrow. In audition to local fans and rooters from Greencastle, many basket fans from surrounding towns will attend.

More Faculty Power in Future Collegiate Work NEW YORK, Jan. 18.—More power Is given to college faculties in the administrative affairs of the Intercollegiate Association of Amateur of America in recommendations made public Monday by the executive and advisory committees of that body.

Heretofore the faculty committee has served merely In an advisory capacity, with no voting power. The changes urged in the athletic program are the substitution of a threemile run for the two-mlle event, and the addition of the Javelin and discus throws and a 140-yard hurdle race. Thomas H.

DENTALS CLASH WITH BUTLER Local College Fives Meet in Second Battle of Season at ‘Y’ Tonight. Every Indiana Dentai player is on edge for the big game with Butler College to be played at the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium at 8 o'clock tonight. Feezle will referee and Head will umpire. Butler athletes are Just as determined as the Tooth Pullers to capture tonight's battle. Butler won the first game, 31 to 26. That contest was played at the Butler gymnasium and It was the first game of the season for the Dentals. It was the foul goal shooting of Hooker that won for the Christians. In that game the Dentals scored twelve field goals and Butler scored ten. but the ability of Hooker to cage foul goals gave his team the five-point margin. The “Y” gymnasium is strange to each team. Both Butler and the Dentals have Sracticed on that floor Just one time and ave never played a game there. The lighting, the st-e of the playing space and other conditions moke a change of floor something that it is difficult for any team to contend with. Tho game tonight being on a neutral floor, means that the teams meet on an equal footing. If Butler wins tonight Coach rage's team is the college champion of the city. If the Dentals win the Tooth Pullers will play Butler a third game in March, That game then would decide the championship. There will be no reserved seats tonight. It will be a case of first arrivals getting the best seats. Butler showed more strength against Rose Poly than did the Dentals, but both Indianapolis teams trounced the Terre Haute quintet. While both coaches have not named their line-ups, the way the teams will start tonight probably will be: Butler. Dentals Leslie Forward Reeve Hooker Forward McPherson R. Jones Center McVaugh Brown Guard Witter Diedrich Guard Mathew PURPLE EASY FOR CRIMSON BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Jan. IS. —Indiana cleared another obstacle out of its conference basket-ball path last night when Northwestern was humbled, 31 to 10, cn the Indiana floor. The huge mob of fans that crowded Into the gymnasium did not have the opportunity of seeing Indiana's artists play their beat game last night, because Northwestern was out of the running practically all the way and there was no need for a lot of Crimson speed. Twice in the second half, however, Just after the opening and Just before the close, the Indiana offensive machine, Marx son, Dean and Thomas, started drives that ran the Crimson total up in fast order. The count at the half-way mark was 16 to 6 in favor of Indiana. Ten more points were added to the Booster side of the ledger in the first few minutes of second-half play, and Northwestern’s defeat was Just about sealed.

Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, Hamilton, Marlon, Ohio, and Louisville, Ky., not saying anything about the Hoosier starlights, sent their best mlneralite hurlers to the scene of action and local fans were given the opportunity of seeing Just who's who among the Buckeye and Colonel shooters, as well as among their own Hoosier knights.

MILWAUKEE HAS BIG MATCHES MILWAUKEE, Jan. 18.—Richie Mitchell may have met defeat at the hands of Bennie Leonard, but his popularity b*re and elsewhere did not take a backslide. Before the bout be was hardly known on Broadway, but todav he is well known, and, according to word reaming him, was not disgraced bj his defeat and can have a match at Madison Square Garden any time he wishes. Local boxing promoters and members of the fraternity that go around the country to see big bouts are of the opinion that New York has taken a back seat os a boxing center in more ways than one. Milwaukee is putting on more bouts than the big town on the Hudson, and what makes at bit out here, does not allow the fans to turn the auditorium into Pittsburgh with smoke during a bout. New York says there are only two more men for Leonard to meet. New- York can see both in action here a week from tomorrow night. Whllo Gotham could not get them together, Frank Mulkarn of the National A. C. signed them up and is not selling sls seats, either. le-w Tendler is here now getting in shape for his go with Willie Jackson, who will be here the last of the week. Mulkeni has put on some big bouts in the few months h* has been in the game and expects to put on many more. Down Bast they didn't think much of boxers from Milwaukee until Pinkej Mitchell exchanged swats with Willie .1 • kson and w-as followed by brother Richie and Leonard.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, JANUARY 18,1921.

"Huck” Kelly of the Bell Telephones looked about the best there was when he lambasted the clubs for a 261 opener. This score started the Bells winning over the Oakes team and they didn't stop until the lights went out. Hoyt kicked out 235 and 193 counts for the Oakes, but his buddies didn't even think of following his lead. King was there with tho counts that purchased the Vonnegut victory over tho Link-Belt outfit. His started with 226 and didn't disgrace himself thereafter. Mounco of the Inter-States was one of tho big stars of the evening, getting scores of 200. 201 and 213. But tue Postoffico handed his club a two-game trimming. Hoffman fired on 223 and 211 for the Taggarts in his first and third games, and the Martin-Parry crew let these games go without a murmur. The Martins won tho second round, when Hoffman was not going in a large way. Pauley and his Manufacturers’ League Marmons had enough wood to win three from the Zenite Metals. Fisher's 204 g,-iv the National Autos a three-ptn victory over the Prest-O-Lites lu the deciding game of their hot battle. Walton brought tho Presto crew a win in the second game with a 234 score. The Kingans had a hard time getting out from under their Jinx and Midwest Engines rushed up to trounce thorn twice. The third game went to the packers. No matter how good tho National Cash Registers went the IJemls Bags always managed to go Just a bit better. Ward set the par* for the Bags, while J. Lyke was the National hero. Robbins Body shooters took tho first and third games from the Langsenkamps. The second was even, each team shootiug 783. Ritter was there with a couple of double centuries to help tha_ WheeierScheblers win two from tho Woody Machines. For the benefit of those who don't Been) to get th* drift, we take this us | an opportune time to explain that “fair , shooters'' is the alley expression for women bowlers. So don’t get excited j and think someone is calling yon ft crooked bowler when he tells yon your! scores are not as good as those of the ‘‘fair bowlers.” The Courthouse Ward Heelers stopped out again this week, winning three from the Politicians. The Crooks dropped two of their games with tho Grafters, then turned in and pounded out the high team Bcorc of 723. Peterson's 190, posted In favor of the Ward Heelers, was tho best tingle effort. AMATEURS ASK NATIONAL HEAD Lowry on Committee to Urge Harding to Appoint Athletic Director. A committee composed of James H. Lowry, superintendent of Indianapolis parks and president of the National Amateur Baseball Federation; Clifford Martin, Cincinnati councilman, and Clayton Townes, president of the Cleveland council, will visit Washington soon after the Inauguration of President-eject Harding, to meet with the president and urge that he name a national recreation director who would have Jurisdiction over all amutour athletics and who would cooperate with the National Baseball Federation, the governing body of tho amateurs. In boosting the sandiot game. Lowry, the Indianapolis man on the committee, would act as chairman. Martin and Townes are presidents of the amateur baseball associations In their respective cities and have been connected with the national federation since its infancy. In fact, these three men were prominent figures in the formation of the national sandiot body and nursed It along until it has grown into one of the strongest amateur associations in the country. WOULD CENTRALIZE AMATEUR LEADERSHIP. The appointment of a national athletic director by Harding, would, accordiug to the plans of the amateur baseball officials. bring all amateur organizations in tho United States together under one head and work for the betterment of each. At the present time tho A. A. U. National baseball Federation, United Stales Lawn Tennis Association, United States Amateur Golfers’ Association und other such bodies, while working for the betterment of the amateur sport which they cover, Hre separate organizations. The head of this organization would be the national recreation, or athletic, director appoint* and by the presidt nt. At the same time each of these organizations would be in n way separate and distinct from the others, as they are now, having their own officers and abiding by their own rules, which would be drawn up in accordance wtth a set of national amateur sport rules adopted by th* national association. The appointments of a national director by the president probably would mean u national amateur athletic appropriation in addition to the financial aid now given the amateurs through their respective recreation departments, park boards and other similar municipal bodies. Practically all of the larger amateur associations are at this time self supporting, but it is the opinion of the baseball men that amateur sports would branch out on a much larger scale in this country if tho Government were to take a hand in the boostiug. I. A. C. Swimmers Active The Independent Athletic Club’s senior swimmers will stack up against the Indiana University team .lari. 29 at the I. A. C. tank.

BLACKFACE COMEDIAN SMOKES A CIGAR AND TALKS In a Confidential Way About Actors • Dixie Four at Lyric

On reaching my typewriter, after seeing th* current show at B. F. Keith’s, I said: ‘‘Say, typewriter, what was wrong at Keith’s yesterday afternoon?” and the typewriter hammered this out: “The audience was to blame for about two-thirds of the situation, and the actors were responsible for the other third.” The audience yesterday afternoon was restless and it appeared to me that several of the acts were bucking a stone wall. Boyce Combe opened In a song not of best taste about being seasick, and there appeared to be a disposition on the part of it few of the audience to make his progress as difficult as possible. His sneezing song was well done. Maybe it was his afternoon clothes which caused a gulf to come between him and his audience. Florence Roberts and Frederick Vogedlng, in a comedy playlet, “Blindfolded,” worked to better effect than Mr. Combe, and their efforts were rewarded by some of the audience. This sketch Boes not give Miss Roberts a chance to use her splendid talents, although th* little she is called upon to do Is well done. The work of Mr. Vogedlng Is polished. Paul George opened the bill with ”A Kitchen Musicale,” in which he plays a number of Instruments. Babcock and Dolly succeeded in breaking the “ice" by a series of clever stage falls on the part of the man of the team. The first real home run of the bill yesterday afternoon was scored by Bash Lynn in an English character and William Howland of very pleasing voice. This team by the clever work of Lynn and the voice of Howland easily secured the love of the big audience. Sammy Weston and his Melody Charmers, five young women, who play many pianos at the same time, and a dancing miss, found the' audience in good humor after Lynn and Howland were permitted to leave the stage. The Charmers present a pretty act, but not a startling one. Weston does some satisfactory dancing. It remained for Mel Klee, in blackface, to melt any coldness on part of tha audience, and when he finished his patter about the doings of the actor* behind the scenes whan the audience is not around, everybody out in front was really human. Klee smokes a cigar during most of his act, and I admit I sat too near the stage or a draft blew the “perfume” of what is called a cigar in my direction. The act is good, but the cigar is different. Klee warms right up to his audience and before he finishes every one has found their bands. The closing act presents W. Horllck and Sarampa Sisters in a series of wellexecuted dances. Bonictim* affo a rery distinguished actor told me that the success of any show depends to a large extent upon the temper of ftn audience. That wkb \roll demonstrated yesterday when some acknowledged clever acts found the atmosphere rather frigid. So I have permitted my typewriter to do all the "talking” and tho name of the typewriter is “Underwood." At Keith’s all week. W. D. H--I- -I- -!- NEW OPENINGS. “Nightie Night,” a farce, opens tonight nt the Murat for a run whloh will conclude with a Saturday night performance. It is understood that the New York company Is being sent to the Murat. It has n reputation of being successful In New York and Chicago. On Thursday night Otis Skinner comes In person to English’s for a three-day engagement in “At the Villa Rose." in xvhich he plays the role of a detective. -I- -I- -!- TOTS COME TO LIFE IN FEATURE ACT AT LYRIC. A big “toy” doll with golden hair is standing In a show window. A little newsboy appears and fßlls asleep and dreams that the doll and the other toys come to life. The pretty doll sings ana dances the shimmy and the other toys turn out to be members of a Jazz band. That's the. story of "Syncopation in Tovland," which is the act of merit on this week's bill at the Lyric. The members of this band realize that nothing hut crashes nnd hammering the brass does not produce melody and they have the good judgment to blend their efforts into pleasing syncopating melody. The act Is nicely mounted, and if the spotlight w-as more equally distributed instead of playing so constantly on the woman of the act it would work to tho general effect of the offering. This Jazz band is good enough to stop and hold up the s'-ow hut the spotlight playing on ono individual prevents the act from being the undisputed hit of the bill. The Dixie Four have a prominent place on tho bill. The sketch of the bill, which includes several singing numbers, is called “Number, Please.” Dean and Reads have a me-lody offering with the work of the pianist deserving special mention, but I do not know her name. The remainder of the bill includes Faye and Thomas, a clever dancing team, who spoil the daintiness of their act by a crude curtain talk; Shepard and Dunn, the Melody Trio nnd O'Loughlln and Williams nnd a film comedy. At the Lyric all week.—W. D. H. -I- -I- -II.KNGTHY BILL AT THE BROADWAY. Dul.uke nnd Graves open a lengthy vaudeville nnd movie bill at the Broadway this week in a singing and impersonating act.

Wild, known as “Attn Boy, Horace” Harry Hills, he men of the company easily outshine the women of this show. While Billy Wild is getting off his droll remarks and antics the audience forgets, Judging by the length of time they keep Wild on the stage, that there are other members of the company. The first part of the show takes place In front of Mrs. Van Aster’s summer home, then the scene shifts which permits Wild and Hill to give a specialty. The last scene of the first act is in Mrs. Van Aster’s home. The closing song number of this act is a Scotch song affair done by Miss Betty Palmer and the entire company. Wild does his best work as the new superintendent of an express office and there is some really funny stage business in this scene. Billy Wallace as “Almost Gone,” a hard hearing customer, is responsible for many laughs. West again comes into his own with a police travesty. There are numerous song numbers, but the interest of the audience centers upon the comedian. The show might well be named “Two Hours With BillyWest." At the Park all week. -I- -I- -I----ON THE MOVIE SCREEN.
