TEX OUTLINES NEW PLAN FOR TITLE MATCHES Rickard Desires to Hold Both Jack-Georges and JackJess Bouts Near N. Y. TO ERECT HUGE ARENA NEW YORK, Feb. 3.—Lll’ ole New York Is going to get the Deinpsey-Carpentler scrap after all. It Is also going to get the Dempsey-Wlllard knuckle fest, proproviding Dempsey Is still champion after he meets C&rpentier. These announcements were made last night by Promoter Tex Rickard, who plans to build an open-air arena In or near New York for the staging of the International battle July 2 and the winner of this bout and Willard on Labor 'day. Rickard has staged most of his big fights In the open and he believes that even with a limit of sl3 for a championship he will be able to promote the Dempsey-Carpentier bout successfully. The Dempsey-Willard match has been simply set ahead. Rickard said that both boxers were willing to go through with the original match on March 17 had he Insisted on it, though Willard's sudden departure from this neighborhood and Jack Kearna' assertion that Jess had run out of the match, have left a suspicion that the match did not look alluring to Willard, who would have had to gamble with Rickard on the gate it would draw in the “Garden.” Rickard is expected to announce s site for the big arena within a week or two and be expects to have it ready for the staging of outdoor bouts just as soon as the weather will permit. This plan will be followed to the letter, unless unforeseen happenings block it. rllffiPuGS WHITE DRAWS PENALTY, MILWAUKEE, Feb. 3. —Charlie White, Chicago lightweight, has been suspended for six months by the Wisconsin Raxing Commission.

Scholler is an Indiana graduate and won fame as a player with the Crimson team a few years back. After leaving school he entered the semi-pro fleid, where he continued to 6biue until taking charge of the Indiana baseball.-rs. if the rumors pan out right and Scholler comes] to Wabash, the Scariet diamond coinbina- > tion of the coming season should cut some clever figures, as talent is more Filentlful here this year than it has been or some time.

De Pauw Faces Trio of Basket Contests on Northern Jaunt Tigers in Good Shape for Irish, Detroit and Aggie Court Battles. GREEXCASTLE, Ind., Feb. 3—Seven members of the De Pauw basket-ball squad, accompanied by Ccach Buss and Dave Hogue, student athletic manager, left Wednesday on the longest road trip Tiger court artists will make this season. Notre Dame, Detroit University and the Michigan Aggies will be met on the Northern invasion, and indications predict a hard battle for De Pauw in every game. The team will return next Tues- ! day. Tonight the Tigers will battle the fast Notre Dame squad at South Bend. Coach j Buss expects this tilt to be the hardest I on the trip, as it was only by a wonderful rally that the Tigers defeated the Irish here last Friday night by a onepoint margin. Detroit College will face the Tigers at .Detroit Saturday night Coach Buss Intends to win this game with a decisive score, however, although the Northerners are said to be fast company. East Lansing will be the last stop of the TiSers, where they will battle the speedy lichigan Aggies Monday night.

The neatest trick that has been turned for local followers of the amateur basket tossers was put over at South Side Turner Hall last night when the Turner tette registered a 37-to-19 victory over the Y. M. H. A. five before the laigest house that has witnessed an amateur battle in Indianapolis this season. It is the old story of the score not telling anything about the battle staged between the rival clans, but this time it is more truth than fiction. One team looked as hot as the other for the first ten minutes of the opening period, but the Turner pace started to tell on the Jewish athletes at this ti ne and Underwood, Stevens and Middleton got away for enough baskets to give the Turners a 19-to-7 lead at the half. After Rice had opened the Turner scoring in the second period with a shot BOinetning like the one Johnny Hennessey bewildered the “Y” crowd with Tuesday night, Joe Rosenthal started a Y M. H. A. rally with two neat field goals, but Rice und ’Tubby” Stevens were playing too smart an offensive game to let the Jewighers get dangerous. The second half was marred by a lot of unnecssaiy roughness, with Yaver of the Y. M. 11. A. playing the feuture role. “Hknk" Stevens was higu point man for the Turners, with five field goals and a like number of fouls. Middleton, was next with six field markers. Joe ltosenthgl hit the ring on four long ones l.*r the Y. M. H. A. The Indianapolis sectional of the State amateur tournament opens at the Y. M. C.‘ A. Satuiday. with games carded from 1 to 5 o'clock in the aliernoon. Fans are expecting the Turner-North Side Vets game at 5 o’clock to feature the first round, although there is indication of plenty of action in the Y. M U. A.Chamber of Commerce game at 8:30 o'clock and the "Y” Leader-Pottawattumi bauie at 4:20 o’clock. In the otlus firstround games the Laulei and l uiou Traction teams meet, tne South Side Active# get together with the Boys' Club and the Deu Z& res swap tricks with the Fair-bauks-Morse athletes. The Junior Chamber of Commerce will battle the Pair-O-Dice team In the opening game tonight at the Y. M. C. A. Hang and Tubby Stevens, Red Underwood and other local lights will be seen In action in this game. The second game in the Federated loop will be between the Den Zare and Kurt-Te-Se lives, who are tied for first position in the league. This promises to be a very good game, as such stars as Slaughter, Black and Hawkins f- r the Den Zares and Kepler, Strain and Nancy for the Kurt-Te-Ses will plays. The first game starts at 7:45 p. m. The Emerson Orioles defeated the Turner Actives 30 to 26 In the curtain raiser on the Turner floor last night. Miller, Mertz and Fehlinger piled up the points for the winners, who trailed until n"ar the close of the first half, then rallied to cop a lead that was never lost. For games with the Orioles call Irvington 165 and ask for Emil. Plav In the newly formed Industrial Basket-pall League will open at the Flecher gymnasium Saturday night with the U' 1; r * Crane scheduled to meet the Eli Lilly team at 7:30 and the Diamond Chain,and Fairbanks-Morse outfits carded for action Immediately after the finish of the fln-t game. The four teams in the league seem evenly matched and some real games may be expected of them from now until the close of the season. Dick Miller has been appointed referee. Both the Riverside A. C.'s and the Triangles won forfeit games last night from the Eighteenth Street Ramblers and the Meteors. Neither team showed up for their game.

HIGH SCHOOL BASKET GOSSIP

The Tech “Mystery Five” wsb mystified at Martinsville last night to the tune of 45 to 30. Inability of the Tech offensive men to make good their open shots spelled defeat for the Indianapolis five, while the all-round team work and spec ;acular goal-shooting of the Martinsville men featured the game. Martinsville grabbed an early lead and were never headed, running up nine points before Tech scored. The glass baekbords of the Martinsville court seemed to bother the Indianapolis players to a marked degree, and It was not’ until near the end of the contest that the Green and White basket-shoot-ers began t hit the loop with consist ency. Tech wa scompletely outclassed In the first session, the score at half time being 24 to 10 in favor of the Artesian Citv quintette. ... Orenburg was Tech.s best man. with four field goals to his credit, while Adkins’ dribbling bordered on the sensational Tudor and Nash starred for Martinsville, the latter scoring eleven field goals The defeat broke Tech's winning streak of ten consecutive victories. Three special cars were required te carry the Tech rooters to Martinsville and, led by Raul Hodges, they outrooted the entire town of Martinsville. The finished teamwork that featured Tech's recent games was absent aud their defense was weak. The injection of Wilson Into the fray late In the second half pnt a lot of pep in the Tech attack. He "rang the bell” three times from the center of the floor and played a whale of a floor game. Both Manual and Shortridge slipped up a little on Tech by the comparative acore route as a result of Wednesday’s games. Manual had beaten Martinsville Saturday, 36 to 34, and Teaji had beaten Brownsburg, IS to 10, while Shortridge beat Brownsburg last might, 27 to 19.

STATE BASKET RESUME GIVES VARIETY OF DOPE FOR FANS

With the State high school sectional basket tourneys just four weeks distant, the open senson on attempting to size up the probable winners has arrived The Intervening distance to March 4 and 5 Is comparatively short and every performance of the stronger aggregations from now until that time will be watched with unusual Interest for, on their showing in this period, their strength as championship contenders will be Judged. With the winners of the sectional tourneys competing in two different tournaments the teams must be compared In two distinct classes —those lu the northern half of the State and those lu the southern. . . In the northern half the teams that stand out as the strongest at this time are Anderson, Jefferson of Lafayette, Rochester, 1 tgansport. Huntington, Kokomo, Whiting. Frankfort aud Lebanon. Os these, Anderson stands out dearly above the rest, although at this time such a statement is a rather bold one to make. ONLY ONE ANDERSON DEFEAT. Anderson started the season at a whirlwind pace and as it has met only one defeat, indications ure that it will sail into the State final#. This year's Anderson team is declared by critics who lia, e seen it In action to he one of the most powerful high school machines ever produced In this State. Jefferson did not start out at the fust pace Anderson set, but the Lafayette crew at this time is playing a brand of basketball that looks bad for any other asptr ant to the State honors. The way in which tlie Lafayette boys bandied Manual and Shortrldge in recent gam.-s Is convincing evidence of their strength even though the two local schools do not rank with the best lu the State. Anderson and Lafayette have not met this season on the basket-ball court, hence the relative strength can be Judged only by the very uncertain comparative score route. Anderson, however, is conceded a slight eug by most critics. Jefferson met a stumbling block in West Lafayette and lost, but it still retains high rating. Close upon the heels of Anderson and Lafayette m the northern region come Rochester, Lebanon, Frankfort aud probably Whiting. By comparative score# tl use four quintettes are apparently evenly matched and are just a shade inferior to the two aggregations previously mentioned. The difference between these four aggregations aud the other two is so meager that in a tight contest a few sl'glit breaks of the game might be sufficient to turn the tide of victory 2 way from the apparently stronger team. I RANK FORT IS FORMIDABLE FIVE. Logansport lost to Jefferson by a very narrow margin on the Lafayette floor, while Anderson boat Rochester. Frankfort has been cutting a mighty patli in Hoosier basket circles this year, und Is generally regarded as being just a bit stronger than Rochester, as they nosed out a two or three-point victory from the Rochester five in an early season contest Lebanon got away to a rather late start, but at present the former State champs are setting . sfong pace. Coach Homer Stum-bra ker has worked wonders up at Logansport this year, .and were it not that the competition this year is about the strongest in the history of the I. H. S. A. A., his team would he right up at the top < f the heap. Huntington, Whiting and Kokomo, are three other teams In the upper half of the State that are strong this year. Both Huntington and Kokomo have been defeated by Logansport by- narrow margins this season. Southern Indiana, up until two years ago the under dog In Hoosier high school basket-ball, Is represented this year by several quintettes that look strong enough to put up a great battle for any high school championship, and it is safe to say that the winners of the regional tournament at Bloomington will compare favorably with the winners at I’urdue. Bloomington and Franklin, both in the lower half of the State, have grabbed off the last two State chain-

i beating Brownsburg on the Shortridge court. 27 to 19. Tech had previously beaten Brownsburg by the narrow margin of 13 to 10. Th 4 game in the first half was nip and tuck, with Shortrldge clinging to a 11-to-8 lead at tho rest period. At the beginning of the second stanza the Blue and White quintette uncovered a fast passing game and whipped the ball around the visitors for a comfortable margin. Lltz ,the new addition to the Shortrldge squad, was the star of the game, scoring six field goals and playing a great floor game. Brown, floor guard, was best for Brownsburg, his work making the visitors dangerous at all times. Two feature events in the high school basket sport await local fans over the week-end. Shortridge tackles the powerful Rochester outfit tomorrow on the Shortridge court, and Tech meets the touted Steele High of Dayton at the local Y. M. C. A. Saturday night Manual plays the Terre Haute schools, Wiley and Garfield, over the week-end. NOBLESVILLE, ind., Feb. 3.—The annual basket-ball tournament for the high I schools of Hamilton County will be held at Sheridan, Feb. 19. according to announcement of the committee Wednesday afternoon. Sheridan was selected for the reason that it has the largest and best hall for games of this kind in the county. The nine schools which will have teams represented at the meet are Atlanta, Walnut Grove. Arcadia, Cicero, Noblesvllle, Fisher, C'armel, Westfield and Sheridan. Ross Smith of Indianapolis will referee the games. A gold medal will be given to the player showing the best temperament during the games. LAPEL. Ind.. Feb. B.—Burlington High School suffered Its first basket-ball defeat of the season here, being handed the j short end of a 44 to 12 count by the Lapel | combination. The first half ended with S the score 18 to 10 In Lapel's favor, and In the second session the visitors were held to a lone field goal. R. Woodard ‘was the star of the Lapel team, getting ten field goals and three fouls.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1921.

going a fast clip this season at home und on the road. In the first session of the tournament, next Saturday afternoon, they meet the "Y” Leaders, and a good game should result, as the teams are perhaps as evenly matched as any in the city.

plonshtpa, and Martinsville, Bloomington, Franklin, SbelbyvlUe and possibly Bedford and Tech of Indianapolis have teams In the field this that should make a grent bid to keep the title in the State's lower basket bracket. The lochl high schools must also be considere.d with the southern class, for (he winner of the Indianapolis sectional will compete In the regional tourney at Bloomington. At present none of the local fives appears to have the strength of a championship contender, but the pace set by Tech previous to the Martinsville game stamps the east aiders as the most likely winner of this section and their recent one-point win over Bedford puts them on a par with that team. 811 ELBAVILLE GETS IN SPOTLIGHT. Up until a few weeks ago Franklin was generally recognized as the most formidable aggregation in the southern part of the State, but when Shelbyville took them Into camp by a 25-to-18 score, it threw anew aspect on the situation. Shelbyville has a team that, although strong from the first, Is getting better every day and now looms up as one of the best In the State. Franklin, besides the game with Shelbyville, has lost only to Am-ilex-son and despite Its Shelby defeat the Johnson County five Is generally regarded as being at least as strong as Shelbyville. Tl-e Shelbyville-Franklin game was played on the Shelby floor. Franklin beat Bloomington had .and then Bloomington went tip and held Anderson to a low score Later Franklin upset the dope by aownlng Anderson. Mr.rtlnsville apparently has got over that fJO-to-22 beating at tbo hands of An derson and Is now playing a brand of ball that stamps It as one of the foremost contenders for honor* In the Bloomington region. Lebanon beat Martinsllle. but the exhibitions put up by the Morgan County quintette against Bloomington ntnl Tech recently have gone far to offset this defeat Bloomington and Martlns- ' l ie then can both be said to have teams unusually strong and powerful, but guilty of playing erratic ball at times. Bedford Is apparently pursuing the same policy followed last year, that of starting slow arid finishing strotig. The team this year bus Improved In Its recent games, tint ns yet It can not be classed with the best In either section. Oolitic Is another live la the southern section that is coming stronger all the time and may yet be heard from In an emphatic manner before the close of the season. A curious aspect of the Hoosier high school basket ball race this year Is that there have been comparatively few "luter-seetlonal" games of importance played so far this season, that Is contest* between the leading fives of the southern and northern parts of the State. At present there Is no accurate means of comparing the relative strength of the lending contenders of the respective sections. Franklin, Bloomington and Martinsville have mixed with the northern quintettes a couple of times but the re suit of these games has nevt served to throw definite light on the situation aud In most cases has only made things more complicated. About the only thing that can be said with certainty at this time is that both southern and northern Indiana this year are represented by a galaxy of the strongest basket fives In their respective history. Each regional tourney should be a feature State championship match In itself, while the final event that will be staged in this city March 18 and 19 wil tie one of the greatest high School basket ball events ever staged In the country. gIUMDS STATE HALKLINE FLAY. Curtis defeated Thornton last night at Cooler's in the State 18 2 balkline tourney, 250 to 138, in forty-two Innings. Curtis’ high run was 32 and Thornton's 23. Thornton and Brown were to meet this afternoon and Brown comes back against Curtis in tho night match. BELGIAN SHOWS CLASS. NEW YORK Feb. 3.—Edouard Horemans, the Belgian billiardist, Wednesday virtually clinched the victory tn his 2,400point 18.2 balkline match against Albert Cutler in winning the third aud fourth blocks by an aggregate score of 800 to 113.

Butler Netters Defeat Evansville College Five EVANSVILLE. Ind., Feb.3.—-Pat Page's speeding Butler Bulldogs continued their whirlwind pace on their preseut road trip throughout southern Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky by trimming Evansville College Wednesday night, 43 to 24. The Indianapolis collegians could not get started until the game was half over, but in the second session sensational shooting by Leslie, Uosenthihl and Hooker pushed the Butler total far out of reach of the Evansville tosesis. Coach Page made a number of substitutions, as the squad has been Joined by several new members since the close of the semester and the Blue and White mentor Is strlylng to get a line on his new material./ The Butler warriors have won all three games of the road trip to rate, having beaten Cincinnati Y. M. C. A., University of Louisville, and Evansville College. They will meet the Vincennes “Y” tonight. The Butlerites have scored in the three games a total of 164 points, against 73 for their opponeuts. BRITISH SEND CHALLENGE.

FOHL TELLS OF BROWNS

By LEE FOHL,' Manager Bt. Loot# Browns. RT. LOUIS, Feb. B.—A spring forecast frequently is fatal to the one who attempts to fill the role of a. prophet. I have gone through the ups and downs of baseball long enough to know that a simple prediction is not the winning punch to a ball club. 1 am very well aeqnpalnted with di material for this season and if things pan out the way I think they will, the St Louis Browns will not drag along In second division. Os course, I am aiming at the pennant. That Is the desire of every manner. With pitching always the greatest asset, I will turn my attention to developing the pitching during the spring training. I have two stars

The Elk leaguers were, popping out the mammoth counts In a fancy manner last night. Miller of the Shin Bones tucked away the one-game honor# in a hurry, getting 244 pins in his first effort. i There were one or two other Bones who knew how to crack the wood In the right spot, and they made It a sorry evening for the Hoofs. Martin of the Ears made Miller feel creepy when he shot a 243 score In the second game. Rassmussen got away to a horrible start for the Ears, but made amends for it with counts of 210 aud 204. The Ears took the team prize with 907 in their second v^hirl. The Eyes lost two to the Ears, but through no fault of Spelcher and Myers. The Hides had to shoot three mean trdals to register a clean sweep over the Teeth, Meyer und Murphy were their leading lights.

In Urban Shocker and Dixie Davis, and I have another, who If he regains the form of 1919, will give me Just what I want —a third regular. He Is Allan Sothoron. 1 expect to find a Jewel In Southpaw Bill Bayne, a midget, while Joe Deberry, Elam Van Glider, Bill Burwell and Cuban Palmero are other prospects. A review of the Browns would not be rnjnclete without mentioning George S'.sler who, In my opinion, is without a superior. With the pitching I have mentioned St. Louis may provide the baseball surprise this reason. There isn't a m <re finished outfield In either league than Williams, Jacobson and Tobin and if I can find a successor for Joe Gedeon at second base I will be willing to risk my chance for the pennant with my rivals.

MAROONS HOWL OYER DEFEATS Student Paper Leads Attack on Chicago Basket Coaching System. CHICAGO, Feb. 8. —Three defeats In the last ten days have put the University of Chicago basket-liail team out of the running for the Big Ten championship and so aroused the alumni of the Midway institution that the Daily Maroon, student publication, yesterday printed a series of letters under a streamer head, “What’s Wrong With Basket-ball?" Last winter the Chicago team, coached by Pat Page, who now Is at Butler College, won the Big Ten title, and with four of the five regulars, the most experienced team in the conference, returning, another championship was openly predicted. With Capt. Crisler, Elrfchotf, Vollmer and Hailadav, the first three of them all-conference stars last year, again in the line-up, the Maroons dropped three of their first six games and now are below several teams composed chiefly of green material. One letter printed in the Daily Maroon follows, in part: “We think that in Crisler. Birkhoff, Halladay and Vollmer Chicago has four of the most skillful as well as most experienced players In the conference, and that if they lose games It Is because something is wrong with the coaching. We think they played bet* ter two weeks ago than they do now. “We cannot see why no good man is secured to replace Pat Page. We like Walker, who did well In football. We ■would have been quite willing to have seen him given charge of baseball, and perhaps basket-ball; made a unit of authority under Mr. Stagg, as was Page. Or if Walker is not the man, somebody else given authority. What we do not understand is this fiddling about, this messy experimentation. "We think Mr. Stagg is the best football coach in the country, and we know he is the best influence for manliness in athletics. But we have doubts whether Michael Angelo would have been a good instructor in sociology or Napoleon a good tennis teacher.” New Forward Probably Will Get Chance With Dental Fife Tomorrow In what promises to be a fast game of basket-ball the Indiana Dental College team wiTt meet the Muncie Normal quintette at Shortridge gymnasium Friday night. The game will start at 8 o’clock und Feezle will referee. Coach Clark has developed anew forward in Gevlrtz, who Is showing an eye for basket-shooting that leads the Peata! fans to believe the former Whiting High School star will be used against the Muncie Normal team at least part of the game. Gevlrtz Is a fsst man at i covering the floor and he hits baskets I and passes equal to any other player. The Dental team may be handicapped by Mathew, guard, being out of the llnei up because of an Injury received In the Oliver gfime. However, Farver is gbowi in- strong at guard and may be used i against the Teachers. The Dentals a~a expecting a hard game, as the Normal team is reported to have some remarkable goal shots in its line-up. One of the features of the game will be the music provided by the newly-or-ganized Dental College Band. SHOOTS 144 STRAIGHT.
