LONG SHOOTING BEATS WABASH Normal Hits From Distance to Hand Scarlet First Collegiate Defeat. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Feb. 2.—The Wabash College court warriors were caught In the basket-ball upset flow here last night and handed a 38-to 32 defeat bv the State Normal combination. This was the first defeat of the sea*i n for the Scarlet In collegiate play, and the game probably will go down as one of the greatest upsets of the season. Wabash previously had trimmed Normal In, a game at Crawfordsville. Coach Vaughan's Wabash team was favored to win in a walk from the Normnlites, who have been easy pickings for most of the secondary teams In the Slatthis rear, but In this battle the Scarlet athletes faced a vastly different sort of attack than that of the strong teams tney have been conquering all season and when they did awaken to the fact that thev were facing del eat. it was too late for'them to protect themselves. Long shots, the kind at which the Normal team excels on the local floor, were responsible for the downfall of the Little (; hints. The teachers did not figure on breaking through the defense of the visitors, but opened the game with a bombardment of the basket from the distance range. In the first half the teams traded tricks on even terms, the count being tied at 19-all at the rest period. Wabash displayed a better floor game In the opening half, but the smart guarding of Conover and Glenn caused the visitors to lose several chances from under the basket. In the second period, the uncanny distance shooting of the Teachers seemed to get on the nerves of the Scarlet-clads ami as play progressed they lost the punch In both defensive and offensive play. Normal scored another nineteen poluts'oii this period, while the Wabash five fell six points behind its flrst-lialf total. Coach Vaughan shifted his Wabash line-up several times in the second period in an effort to check the onslaught of the Normals, but his efforts failed to get results. The Individual stars of the contest were Grose and Conover for Normal and Goldsberry aud Stasnnd for Wabash. Grose stirred the meshes for points on distance shots seven times, while Conover delievered four baskets over the same route. Conover also played a clever guarding game Goldsberry who worked as a forward Instead of at center, collected five field goals and six foul mck era for Wabash. Stasand, substituting Tor Adams, gave Wabash three field goals.

EM-ROES GIVES HARD COSIEST In order to win basket-ball games It s necessary* to score baskets regardless of how good a team may be la a.! other departments of the game. The truth of this assertion was exemplified on the V. M. C. A. court last night when the New York Nationals ran rampant through the ranks of the Em-Koes, only to miss their basket stiots and come out of the contest on the short end of a 27 to-24 count. The Nationals beat the Kin - Roes at several angles of the game. The passing of the New York team was better by far than anything seen on a local floor since the Buffalo Orb-les w ere la -1 seen lo re in competition with the original EinItoe team, and the only diffeivn ■ in .nt n ght s contest and that of the Em Roes and Orioles vv;-s that Jolnn.i 1i0.i:,. .- • . was in Green and White harness last night, and he was not tu tlie gutue of s veral seasons back. T<> Hennessey goes all the credit for the Em Roe victory. This youngster was the only Indianapolis player vv h . did j not show signs of distress when the visitors were passing around them like they were tied to posts and he taught the ath letes from the Fast Just how much damage a long shot artist can do. Johnny got seven fie'd goals, four of them from tlie center of the floor, and one from fully j three-quarters the length of the ’Y"’

We were weak in thoj position last year ard in my opinion now we have one of the very greatest to hold down that Important Job. "We figure we got th'e best of the deal; so does Boston, for that matter, otherwise the trade wouldn't have been made. I realize, however, thnt every batted ball doesn't go to shortstop and that Maranrllle can't play the whole game. Wo have some good youngsters to look over this spring and while every manager wants a raft of good pitchers I am satisfied with what 1 have. We will win more games than we lose as we now stand—perhaps that is the only prediction I should make.”

hardwood. This last shot was the most, sensational ever offered local fans and put the check on a New York passing drive that had the locals on the verge of an ascension. Hennessey, as on several other occasions, broke in to grab the ball after the Nationals had put the crowd in a frenzy with some never-to-be forgotten passing, then when he found no Green and White players that he could safely' pass the ball to. he stood on the side of the court, three-fourths of the distance down, and let fly a shot that carried the ball through the hoop without touching. The shot nearly brought the bleachers down. Yerks gave ihe fans a regular Johnson exhibition from the foul Hue. when he blazed away eight times and added us many potirts to the New York total.

Local Wabash Rooters Finally Forced to Take the Alley Route for Day

It was the turn of lo<*al Wabash College followers to t-ike the alley route today. Indianapolis supporters of the Scarlet have hud a great time handing out the w. k "razz" to followers of rival Stats shreds, but today the tables were turned. Followers of Indiana. Purdue, De Pauw, Butler. Notre Dame aud other State institutions all have had to take the alley route at different periods durng the present basket ball season and they hud about given up hope of getting the opportunity of kh'kiug hick at the Wabash adherents—then it happened. The wo Jin finally turned when the Wabash five ran Into an upset st State Normal last night and finished on tn short end of the score. It apparently was the crowning upset of the ..present basket-ball season, aud thero have been many. Now, Wabash followers know how Purdue rooters Mt after the Eurlhum and Michigan games; how Indiana fans felt after the l’urdue game; how Butler men felt after the second Indiana Dental game, and how Notre Dame supporters felt after the Wabash and Do Pauw flushes. j Everything that goes np must come down or something* to that effect. At any rule the upsets hive been State-wide. The Wabash upset came ufter the Scarlet had knocked off everything met In the collegiate ranks. Including Purdue, I)e l’auw Notre Dump, Earlham and even the team that nosed It out last night. However, Scarlet supporters refuse to take last night's defeat as a serious blow and they will be out backing up Vaughan’s machine to continue the fight for the State title. MICHIGAN CANCELS DATES.

Judge Landis Will Earn Every Cent He Gets as Ball Pilot Some Say Noted Jurist Will Have Hands Full Handling Magnates. NEW YORK, Feb. 2.—-Judge Landis is getting $42,500 a year for steering baseball’s craft. He has a seven-year contract. With th thrift necessary to live within the $7,500 that he gets for being a Federal judge the economic sharps figure he should come out of It with close to $297,500. Pessimists who still scent last Octo tier's odor have two comments to nitrite on the Judge and his future In baseball. _ “lie won't last more than a year. He’s too big a man to be bothered with the magnates, even for a fortune," some say. “If he lasts seven years, he'll earn every cent he gets," the others predict. No one is questioning the judge s ability to handle such a complex proposition, but some are doubtful of his patience. No one has accused the barrister of being mercenary, because he trimmed down the original offer of S3O,iMX) and the market price for executive brains of his type is much higher tu commercial or industral circles. Judge Landis is absolutely fearless as his record on the bench shows and furthermore he is not afraid of his new Job. Some of the pesky hurdles that he will have to go over were described in bis dealing during the recent Joint league meetings in Chicago. When Judge. Landis was offered the position as baseball commissioner he was assured to n free rein in handling ail diamond affairs In his own words, they "told the world" that he was to be supreme. He signed the contract on this understanding. Yet, the first thing the magnates try to do Is to curtail his power aud make Mm a mere tool by changing a word lu tlie original agreement. Instead of permitting him to “act" against ell offenders, the generous magnates changed It to allow him merely to "recommend’’ action. The Judge was the first one to detect the alteration and he gave the moguls fifteen innlutes to strike out the word or get anew commissioner. It has not been clearly established who recommended the "trifling" change in the agreement, but the National league representative* refuse to take the credit. Ban Johnson Is accused of tho attempt but no official finger has been pointed at him. Perhaps this bold assertion of authority will Intimidate the. magnates and they may remain In the background and let Judge Landis run the organization.
