ATTENTION OF HOOSIER FANS I ON I. U. GAME Crimson-De Pauw Basket Clash Tonight Expected to Prove Real Thriller. BLOOMINGTON, Ind.. Feb. 9.—Another great basket battle trill be fought between Hooslcr rlTals tonight when the Indiana and De Pauw University teams get together on the Indiana floor. Both teams are keyed np to the highest possible point for this contest and the usual thrills should be forthcoming. Indiana will ba fighting for a big stake, the right to stay In the running for the championship of Indiana. The Wabash besketeers hare registered two victories over Purdue this season and Purdue has defeated Indiana once, which makes Indiana's claims comparatively ullm to those of Wabash. Wabash also has defeated the De Pauw Tigers, but by a margin of only three points. Indiana, then, will be out to wallop the Tigers hard tonight and then try to put the skids under Purdue when the Lafayette crew comes here for a gume. It is the opinion of Hoosler fans who follow the scores closely that the De Pauw team performing here tonight will be a much better combination than that which went against Wabash, as Coach Buss has had his men stepping In whirlwind speed since their struggle on the Crawfordsrllle court. Coach Leris today would give out no definite word on his starting line-up In the big scrap, but there Is hardly any doubt but that Dehority and Marxson, forwards; Dean, center, and Thomas and Dobbins, guards, will peel off their sweat-shirts when the opening whistle sounds. Marxson and Dehority have been on the crippled list, but are expected to play. The De Pauw starting llneup-wlll include C-nnon and Gipson, forwards; White, center, and Mendenhall and Young, guards.

MR. B. RUTH A-HIJNTING GOES

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.—Mr. Babe Ruth, the famous basket-ball player, marched majestically through the Pennsylvania station, one afternoon recently, with a shotgun on Mb shoulder. Behind him plowed a variegated array of citizenry, eager to have a peek nt Mr. Ruth, the celebrated horse player, and to favor him in every manner possible. One sought to remove the shotgun from the shoulder of Mr. Ruth, the far-famed picture actor, but was easily resisted. Several porters struggled in the wake of the throng, bearing the baggage of Hon. Ruth, the well-known moving picture actor. It was an impressive scene in every respect. Mr. Ruth, the distinguished niinrod, was going hunting. He was booked aboard the Seaboard and was headed for the thriving little depot, and two (2) general stores at Thalmann, Ga. From Thalmann he was to be transported to Dover Hall, the picturesque estate at the Junction of the Tnride and the Bear Rivers, where baseball generally goes hunting. BABE DUE TO MEET ROUGH ANIMALS. Dover Hall is sixteen miles from the city of Brunswick, Ga. The estate consists of 3,000 acres of piny woods, wherein roam the deer, to say nothing of the saw-toothed wood tick. The train bearing Mr. Ruth, the renowned home-runner, paused at Baltimore after leaving here long enough to load on Carl Mays, Harry Busick and other rersons. At that time Mr. Ruth, the splendid first baseman, had a high-power rifle. He had heard he was going hunting, and it being the idea of Mr. Ruth, the hustling center fielder, to do everything he does thoroughly, he bad purchased the most destructive weapon he could think of—next to his bat. If you fired a high-power rifle on I the premises of Dover Hall you would probably bit eighteen or nineteen hotblooded southerners over In the next county. They use shotguns down there, and any man is dangerous enough with a shotgun, to say nothing of Mr. Ruth, the wonderful left fielder.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1921.

Wabash Comes Back With Late Kick to Down Boilermakers Spurt of Scarlet Fighters in Final Half Cause of Purdue Downfall. CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind- Feb. 9 A fighting spirit that would not quake under the sickening blows of the truly wonderful Miller-White combination and a basket machine that for the first twenty minutes seemed fnr their superior ;u every way, carried the Wabash Coliege hardwood travelers through to a 24-to-22 victory over Purdue University's athlete* on the Wabash floor last night. Since the beginning of basket-ball time there have been countless numbers of basket-ball games registered ns the greatest ever, but it Is very doubtful if the equal of the affair offered here last night has ever before been witnessed. It was get-up-and-go for both teams from start to finish and the pace hud the packed fans dizzy long before the end was even thought of NEAT FINISH HY SCARLET. At the close of the first half, when Purdue held a 9 to 8 lead, one loyal Wabash man said: “Well, at any rate, you’ll never find a harder fighting lot than those Wabash youngsters." And no man, excepting the crowd that Jammed the Wabash gym, will never know how true those words were. The battle s i’ged by Coach Vaughan’s athletes in that final half will live forever in the minds of those who witnessed It, and today they deserve the praise and admiration of the basket-ball world at large. But the honor thut goes to the Wabash team for last night's game must be shared with Don White and Russell Miller, the Purdue men who are supposed to guard, but who did everything but defeat WabJsh last uight. White traveled the floor as though he were tied to a streak of lightning, and Miller — well. It Is impossible to describe his work In defense of the Purdue goal. The Purdue team that took the floor last night was not the Purdue team that carried Boilermaker hopes In orevlous games. Illser, who Ims been trained for a baek guard position all season, and Chafee, who, In all other games in which he has played, has worked as a pivot man, were started last night for the flrst time, ami they were started as forwards, while Holwerda, Eversmau and Masters, two of whom have worked as the regular forwards all season, were held on tile side lines. Why Coach Lambert made this shift is not known, unless he held his stars out to avoid possible Injury for the Ohio State game Saturday night, or that he wanted to experiment with big men in his line-up. The reason why the Wabash fighting spirit gets so much wtfentiou Is that it was fight, not teamwork or the real basket-baU they have played In previous games, that won for the Wabashers. I'l HDI E GETS FINE START. In the flrst half hour. Miller, White and Colling outplayed Wabash much more than the 9-to-8 half score shows. Adams opened for Wabash with a field goal after what mmel ages of going to the fans, then White, after thirteen and one-naif minutes of wonderful fighting, put Purdue In the lead with u foul throw, followed by a field marker. Thorn then sent Wabash back into the lead with a field throw, but a dir/zling side-line shot by White brought the Boilermakers up again to a lend that was held through the half. Purdue carried a 0 to-5 lead with less than two minutes to go In the first period, but Guldsberry narrowed the gup with a field goal and two efforts at the foul iine. White hud scored all Purdue points. In the second half Wabash hit its stride for the first time In the contest and for ten minutes the Scarlet ran the l’urdue men ragged. The Scarlet scored on short shots and long shots during this time, and when Goldsborry called for a breathing spell the \ aiighan proteges held a 19-to 13 lead, White and Cuffing each having counted from the field for Purdue. A field goal by Goldaherry an Ia foul toss by White, who. by the way, missed five fr*’e shots, changed the count to 21 to 14. It was now Purdue's time to come back and the Boilermakers did It in fine style, holding Wabash at a standstill while thev climbed up to the 20 point position. White throning four foul* and Eve:simn. who went in fur Chafee, tossing a field goal. The county, when tho final gun was fired, stood 23 to 21 ,n favor of Wabash, White having counted from the foui line for Purdue and Thorn from under the basket for Wabash, but simultaneous with the firing of the gun White fonleo Burns and Referee Young permitted Goldsborry to toss a foul goal alter time was up. With but one minute and fifteen seconds of playing time remaining, Lambert sent Holwerba into the fray, substituting him for Hiser, while Illser took White's place at floor guard and White went to center in place of Cofflng. BUTLER PUTS FRANKLIN DOWN The P.utlor College basket-ball five triumphed over Franklin, 32 to 23, here lust night In au I. C. A. L. game. The contest was slow and listless throughout and void of features. The exhibition put up by Butler was one of the poorest of the Beason for the Pagetnen, and it was only in the closing minutes of play that they pulled away for a comfortable margin. Butler grabbed the lead right at the start and was never headed, although on several occasions the Thurberites drew up to within two or three points of the Christians. Hooker and Leslie starred for Butler with five field goals eaeh, while Graham's work for Franklin made the visitors dangerous at all times. Graham snagged for baskets from the field and his work from the foul line was particularly noteworthy. Hockey Is Great Game GREEN BAY, Wls., Feb. O.—A record for long-distance playing in hockey Is believed to have been established when two local teams played four regulation hockey games, two twenty minute extra periods and seventeen periods of live min Utes’ duration without scoring. This is a little better than two hours of actual play without a score.

Mr. Barrow gently but firmly removed the rifle from the paws of Mr Ruth, the marvelous eater, aud substituted the shotgun. That Is why Mr Ruth fought off the friendly advances of the gent who wanted to carry his shotgun through the station. He was afraid they might givo him a bow and arrow. A stranger In the station was attracted tic the gathering throng and sought information. "What's all the shootln about?" he inquired. "VY’hut kind of a night Is this V” “Why,” said an eager New Y’orker, "Babe Ruth’s goiu' hunting. Y’ou know Babe the famous pastimer. He’s goin’ somewhere or other to kill something or other—Crackers, I hear. They tell me Georg's Is Just overrun with Crackers, and that's where Bube is going, you Babol” "Well,’' persisted the stranger, “who are them funny looking guys who are following him on to the train? YVliat have they got to do with this business';" GOING TO HELP HIM CARRY GAME. "Them?” said the New Yorker. “Oh, them’s baseball writers and other people. They don't amount to nothin’. They’re going’ along to help Babe curry In the game h© kills. Oh, you Babe!” “YVell, seems to me this is a lot of fuss to make about a guy,” said the stranger. “What's this Ruth done, anyway ?” “What!” said the New Yorker, “why don’t you know Rabe’s the guy who cost us $137,500? He’s the most expensive guy in baseball, and them St. Louis guys are a lot of liars.” “Yes,” said the stranger, “but who’s thar fat guy struggling along away behind there and luggin’ his own baggage? Why don’t somebody help him carry it, or are they too busy helpin’ Babe?” “Who?" said the New Y'orker. “Oh, that guyi Oh, he’s Just the guy who paid all that dough for Babe. That’s only Cap Huston, one o’ the owners of the Yank*. Oh, 70a Baba!”

FRANKLIN HIGH IN BIG CLASH Johnson County Boys Ready for Invasion of Crack Shelby Machine. FRANKLIN, Ind., Feb. 9.—One of the fastest court struggles of the year Is nnticipated when Franklin meets Shelbyvllle in the college gym at this city tonight. Franklin fell before Shelbyvllle the first part of the season, but since thut time Franklin has Improved wonderfully. Shelbyvllle defeated Shortrldge by one' point, < rawfordsvllle beat Shortrldge and Franklin trounced Crawfordsvllle last week. This shows by comparative scores how the two teams stand. Frtddle has returned to the Blue and White squad and lias been going "big" In the last few practices. I.set week Franklin defeated both Crawfordsvllle and Emerson of Gary.

LONDON STILL IN FIELD FOR TITLE MATCH Promoter Cochran Wires Rickard He Has Not Dropped His Part of Plans. By JACK VEIOCK, International News Sports Editor. NEW YORK, Feb. 9—Charles B. Cochran, British promoter, still has hopes of landing the Dempsey-Carpentier fight for London. Ths became evident today when Dan McKetrick, eastern representative of Dempsey and Jack Kearns, annouueed receipt of a cablegram from Cochran denying he has withdrawn from the promotion of the big scrap. YVith Cochran still very much interested in the match, uncertainties connected with the selection of a site were thicker today than ever before. , Jack Kearns does not favor Montreal. The manager of the world's champion does not believe the bout would pay in Canada. Incidentally, he is very dubious about staging it in New York or anywhere iii the States where sls is the limit for seats. With Kearns In this frame of mind, it appears that London still stands a very good chance of landing the fistic plum. The champion’s manager has a keen eya for business and it is possible that ha may decide to take Dempsey abroad within a month with two ideas in view—to “clean up” on an exhibition tour and get the champion acclimated in case tho promoters decide on London. Meanwhile, new conferences regarding the promotion of the big fight were In order todav. Tex Rickard will stick with Cochran if the British promoter wants it that way. He would prefer to promote the scrap on his own hook, however, and may make an effort to buy Cochran off, providing William A. Brady stays put, which is on the "outside.” Title Races on Swim Program Here Saturday Three State A. A. U. championships ars included in the swimming events to be held at the I. A.
