COLLEGE AND H. S. NET GOSSIP
High school basket-ball followers in all sections of the State are still wondering how Tech beat Bloomington, regarded as one ( ,f the tire of six pent teams in Indiana, Saturday. But there la no wonderment in the minds of any who biw the game. The Green and White machine outplayed the Bloomington five in every department of tiie game and the basketball played by the locals was of a higher orde;- than any displayed by any Indianapolis high school quintette Hi recent years. The Bloomington guards were helpless against the sweeping four man offensive of the locals, who uncorked one °l ih“ most finished passing games ever exhibited by a high school team in this city. Saturday's victory put* Tech right up on a part with the best in the State and their performance throughout the next month should command Statewide attention. The "Mystery Five” name for Coach Black s speeding aggregation fits well. Saturday s victory marked their eighth j Enter the Basket Thief j NOBLESV!LLE, Ind., Jan. 2*.—The 1 ishers High School basket-ball team played at Castleton Saturday night. The visitor* won. by the score of 33 to 24. While the boy# were lighting for victory on the floor of the bail, a thief entered the dressing room and rifled the pockets of the player#, getting SIS in money, a few gold twitches and other valuables. straight win and they are getting better every day. Tbeir total of 172 points In four games isn't half bad for any kind of a team. Coach Black deserves a world of credit for the machine he has built up. Individual stars who throw baskets the entire length of the rtooq are conspicuous on the Tech team this year by their absence. Each man i a star at his respective position and there apparently isn't a weak spot on the team. * Too much credit cannot be given Bloomington for the fight they put up. The fact that Tech had to call time out in the last minute and a half of play to stop an avalanche of baskets by Bloomington forwards clearly demonstrates this. Two minutes before the end- of the game-Teeh was leading by twenty points. The final count was 36 to 25. With only about a month left before the sectional the local high school fiv"S are starting on another week of hard pl3y. Tech will get in action twice this week, playing both games out of town. Friday the east sitters will play at Kokomo. and Saturday will see them at AVabasb.

Much attention will be given the Notre Dame Wabash affair to be stnged at Crawfordsvillo Thursday night. Two of the smartest goa! getters In the State will clash in this, contest when "Hank” Mehre goes after the points for Notre Dame and "Snake" Goldsberry starts piling 'em up for AVabash.

Notre Dame hooka up with De Puuw at Greencastle Friday.

A'incenues holds the only victory of the season over AVabash and gave De | i'auw a scare when the two met recently. The Quakers are working like Trojan# I and ranking very little noise.

BOSTON, Jan. 24—Walter (Rabbit) Maranviile, traded by the Boston Braves to the Pirates for Fred Nicholson, Billy j SoiithAvorth and Walter Barbare, sant j word from his homo in Springfield today that before he would sign a contract, President George AYashingtou Grant must j pay him SSOO, the amount extracted from j the “Rabbit's” 1920 pay envelope because he played a game in Attleboro before the close of th basebal! seasonThe “Rabbit" said ho had not Been consulted about the trade, dll not want to go to Pittsburgh, did not think ho would go, and certainly would uot play baseball until President Grant remits. "I fail to see why I should lose so finch money for entertaining a gathering of fans, who long have been Bogton followers,” said MaranvUle. THREE PLAYERS AND BIG SUM PITTSBURGH. Jan. 24—Officers of the Pittsburgh Baseball (Tub announced today that $25,000, in addition to Outfielders Billy SouthAvorth and Fred Nicholson arid Shortstop Barbare, had been paid for \A alter MaranvUle, the stellar shortstop of the Boston Braves. The fans in every city of the National League circuit except Pittsburgh will feci more than a little disappointed, particularly those In New York and Cincinnati, who had felt sure until today's announcement that Maranville wan to be seen in their teams' uniforms this year. Despite the wall that is bound to go up from thp folloAvers of the Braves, it te not improbable that Boston, too, will j benefit by tho trade, Nicholson finished the 1920 season second only to Rogers Hornsby in batting. Hi ninetv nine games bo acquired a percentage of .360. Ills fielding wat fair. Southworth led fill tho National gardeners in defensive work AAlth an average of .991 in 112 games. He batted .284, which was somewhat lower than his figures for the two preceding seasons. Barbare, one of the several shortstops used by Manager Gibson last year, was ipressive neither in fielding nor hutting. He hit .274 In thirty-four games and fielded .923. Maranville, who was credited with keeping the Boston infield on its toes, has been a regular since 1912. His batting and fielding percentage lasr year were nothing to brag about, so far as cold figures go, but his personality and lability to deliver in n pinch has made ! him one of the most valuable players in I the game for year*. He bit .26 in 131 games last, season fielded 918. ! Some sport Avrjters optimistically predicted today that the Pittsburgh Boston irade was only the first step in a five- ' cornered deal, involving also New York. .Cincinnati and Philadelphia, which would ieventually send Maranville to tln#-4*iants.

MERWIN’S‘THEPASSIONATE PILGRIM’ RANKS Among the Season’s Best—MacLean on View—Movie Slaps Profiteers
There are only a few pictures possessing those qualities pf truthful characterization and a logical unfolding of a story which makes one want to yell from the housetops that a real picture has landed In town. That is the way 1 felt on leaving the Ohio yesterday after witnessing every foot of the movie, "The Passionate Pilgrim.” I wumted to get on to, a housetop and yell out tho news that this movie is so real, so full of honest enjoymeait and so honestly acted that no one can afford to miss it. The movie in the first place has a fine start because it is made from Samuel Mcrwin's story of the same name, and in the second place the caot haft the services of some honest to goodness people who know hoAV to do soma human and natural acting. Jt is enough to say that Matt Moore, Rubye de Reiner, who has hit her stride at last: Julia Swayne Gordon, the best “heavy" woman on the screen; Claire Whitney, a .capable actress; Frankie Maun and many others are in the cast. “The Passionate Pilgrim” is a lova story, but not one of those careless, hot house things so aften put upon the screen today. The “Pilgrim,” who is Henry Caiverly, playe'd by Matt Moore ns a real man would play the role of a man who has suffered and !o#t, has been denied the right to live and worship his wife because of a tragic occurrence on the night of his wedding and his beautiful wife crumbles as If she were a flower, before a January blizzard.

PIIRDCE MAKES EAST FINISH. The second half was a duplicate of the first until the last five minutes of play, when the Ohio Staters, launching a terrific offensive drive In an effort to overcome the lead of the * Hoosiers, placed i their defensive game on the shelf long I enough for Coach Lambert's proteges to i pile up a quartette of field goals in ] rapid fire order. Captain White played his usual feature ' game for the Boilermakers on defense, but be Avas closely guarded and had to work fast to slip away for three field goals. Tie also scored eight foul goals, ('offing, <4nlor, registered six field goals for Purdue. Clark, back guard and distance shooter of the Ohio crew, was tbe ; star of his team. He played a whale of a back guard game and counted eight of his team’s points.

HERE 19 A MIXTURE OE THEORY AND LIFE. When Ivau Abramson started out to film “A Child for Sale.” it is evident that he intended to make it an indictment against "profiteering and against the causes of social unrest. It is admitted that if he had maintained his first purpose to produce ia fine social document or an exposure against wea||p: and tho Bhtgh rent system, the picture might have appeared to be son had to mix his Indictment with a story which at times fails to carry the needed convicHe has the services of some capable people la the cast, such as Creighton Hale, Gladys Leslie, Bobby ConCretghton Hale. nelly, Julia Swayne Gordon, Anna Lehr, William Davidson and some fine types. The story is essentially one which demands "types" as characters and the director has chosen seme fine "types." His scenes in the poverty districts of a large city gives one the chilly feeling which the actors must hat'e had in enacting the scenes in a fireless room. “A Child sos Sale” gives movie patrons a chance to seo the effects of high rent and profiteering and shows how these forces increase the problems of honest social workers. Bnt where this iuoaAo loses its effect is when it onuses the

principals of big city poverty to graduate too rapidly from the ruts of life. This movie will be discussed because the director has had the courage to discuss on the screen a big problem—poverty and its causes.

The soldier discovers that lie cannot sell the darn books and on meeting a protty girl he decided to go to the home of his rich aunt. There he finds a lawyer reading a will ami under the terms of the will, tbe heir, is our soldier friend, must not discharge any of the servants. If he does, away goes his money. Tho servants decide to compel him to “fire" the mand tbe story shows how the rookie teaches the servants a lesson and beats them at tbeir own game. There is ais a love story thrown in for good measure. Part of the movie ,is devoted to a burlesque on stories which messenger bovs have been accused of reading. Opinion: “A Rookie's Return” is different from tbe regular run of movie classy game for Wabash, before being replaced by Thorn, tyho continued to uphold the honor of the pivot position.
