BILLIARDS

EDDIE ASH

SCHAEFER WINS HOPPE’S CROWN Young Jake Unseats Cue Champ by Great Display of Billiards. HOW THEY FINISHED. Won. Lost. Tct. •Schaefer 6 1 .857 Hoppe 5 3 .711 Cochran 33 .500 Conti 33 .500 Horeinan* 2 4 .333 Morningfttar 2 4 .333 Sutton 1 3 .167 CHICAGO, Nov. 24. —Anew champion today Bits upon the billiards throne that Willie Hoppe has occupied for sixteen years. Jake Schaefer, whose father helped him make billiard history more than a quarter of a century ago. is the new 18.2 balk-line billiards champion of the world. Schaefer defeated Hoppe. 500 to 346. in six innings in a match for the title. It was the fourth time in sixteen years that Hoppe has been champion that he has lost a billiards game. The feat performed by Schaefer in defeating the mighty Iloppe two nights in succession stamps the new champion as a performer'of exceptional merit. Schaefer won from Hoppe night before last in the closing match of the championship tournament, thereby tieing the tournament and making last night's play-off necessary. Hoppe rlayed better billiards last night than on the evening previous, when he was beaten 400 to 26, but he played in hard luck. After running 126 in the fourth inning he miscued and Schaefer came back with a run of 130. Hoppe then ran 47, when he again miscued and left Schaefer with the balls close. The new champion then took the title with a run of 44. Hoppe will challenge Schaefer within ten days, according to billiards rules, and the new title-holder must defend his crown before March 22. ! Harvard Captain Shows Good Sportsmanship When Touchdown Is Ruled Out CAMBRIDGE, Nov. 24.—There were many sportsmanlike happenings on the football field at Cambridge last Saturday, but none more noteworthy than the episode that followed the Harvard touchdown which was called back because of holding in the line. It was one of those little incidents which, unfortunately, are not shared In by the spectators. , When the ball was brought back at the insistence of Umpire Tom Thorp, several Harvard players demanded to know who was holding. "It was the man next to center on the short side," said Thorp. ‘‘Tell me who he was and I'll tell you who was holding."- Keith Kane, Harvard's captain, had come up Just in time to hear the official's words, and he promptly said: "I was the man next to center, and you're right. I was holding. I'm Sorry, but it can't be helped now. What Will the penalty be?” When told that It would cost Harvard fifteen yards, Kan* said, in a pleading voice: ‘iDoes it have to be as much as that?" It did, and Harvard never got near enough again to restore those six points. But Harvard j won the game nevertheless.

Hot Oft the Gridiron

Local followers of sport will note with interest that Drayer, who a couple of years ago played center on the basketball team at Technical High School, started at tackle for the Illinois footballers in Its last three games. Drayer did not play football at Tech as there was no such sport, but Coach Zuppke has been working with the big, rangy lad and is developing him Into a line man. H* has the weight and build for a good tackle. There have been good players l developed at college who never played in "prep” schools, but it is usually the high ; school star that makes good. He has hud the rudiments of the game and is ready i to step out Into higher education. Pri- ; mary grade students don’t tako up trigonometry, and Infants in the fun- ' damentals.of football must be exceptionally good to break into the varsity line-up. It Is all the more credit to a man when he can "make the grade.” For some reason the American public and especially the sport loving citizenry does not like the big athlete unless he Is clever along with his beef. Dempsey would not be the ring figure that he is if he did not have the agility of a tiger along with his natural huge frame. Grid fans do not mind applauding the efforts of some huge, agile lineman, but if there Is a feeling that the big fellow out there on the field is Just “getting away with it,” because he is so big that he plugs up a hole In the line by sheer avoirdupois, the big boy does not come in for much Commendation from the bleacher experts. It/tickles the palate of the spectators to see some game little fellow fighting with all he can offer and making up for his lack of size by his skl’.l and dash anil fearlessness, /hat's the boy for the hero stuff. Illinois has a midget quarter back who weighs about 130 pounds and he kicked two field goals against Chicago. His team lost finally after scaring the Maroons In the first half, but that did not matter to the crowd who only counted that the lightweight had held his own with the heavies and wondered If he had the bulk of some of his opponents Just how far he would out-class them. According to reports from Danville. Ky. "Bo” McMillan, the wonderful quarter back of the Centre College eleven. Is considering entering West Point next year. If he does, the Army will have one of the most dangerous men In football to carry the pigskin. It will l*e interesting to note how "Bo” will get :Uong In the East. There Is no question but that he will get along with the ball, but there may be a question as to how he will get along as regards the following of coaches’ Instructions. McMillan has a few principles of his own that Eastern critics have assailed frem time to time as not being good football. The Centre plaver is a genuius am’ does not have to follow the conventional methods. If the coaches let him go as he has been allowed to go at Centre he will be the greatest of the great. If he is handicapped by too many restrictions It may tako away some of the brilliance that has always characterized the doughty Texan s work on the gridiron. There comes a time In any game where a player Is hindered by too much system if it interferes with personal initiative—the greatest asset of any athlete.

Reynolds Throws Kokomo's Mat Star in Straight Falls i Wrestlers Stage Good Bouts With Lo*B of Action at Tomlinson Hall. Jack Reynolds, world's welterweight wrestling championship claimant, who Is , now making Indianapolis his headquari ters, defeated Billy Trout of Kokomo I last night in two straight falls at Tom- ; linson Hall. Trout, who claims the lightweight championship, staged a good l tight, but the superior cleverness of ltey- ! Holds proved too much for the Kokomo boy. The first fall came In 32 minutes 30 seconds of wrestling. The second fall came In lit minntes. The mat struggles were fast and clean and the crowd was enthusiastic over the action that was always on tap. Trout got out of several difficult holds and at different times had dangerous holds n the champion. At these times Reynolds showed himself an expert in bridging out of Trout's clutches. In the curtain-raiser between Lee Cmble, claimant of the colored welterweight title, and Young Martin of Akron, Ohio, the former won in straight falls, th? first in seven minutes and the second In three and one-half minutes. It was announced at the ringside that on Dec. 1 the headliner would be Zbyszbo. heavyweight champion of the world, who is to defend bis title against Gobar, the Indian prince, who had challenged for the belt. Zbyzsko weighs 235 pounds, while the Indian weighs 256. It is the plan to stage, in addition to the heavyweight match, two other feature bouts, with Jack Reynolds the attraction in one and Trout the big attraction in the other.

HOW STRICT SHOULD COLLEGE ELIGIBILITY RULES BE MADE?

Special to Indiana Dally Times and Phlla lelphla rubllc Ledger. By CCLLES CAIN. Philadelphia, Nov. 24. A Pittsburgh man write* to protest the custom of certain colleges to furnish tuition and board free to the stars of their football team, and he asks me to write an editorial on the subject that will either uproot or adjust the evil. Pretty big undertaking. I do not know a great deal nhout It. although I hear a lot of talk, one way and another. It Is a big subject and has many sides and angles. In the first place, I honestly believe that the standards of college competitive sports have been raised year by year until they are now about as high as we can expect from human nature. But that there are infractions and evasions of the eligibility rule I have no doubt. Vet I am sure they are the exceptii/n and not the general rule. In everv school I have visited I hear some talk'of the fast and loose eligibility rules of the rival school, bat "we aro always living up to the letter and the spirit of the law.” Ol' Mr. Human Nature holds about the same sway In all our hearts. The only difference lies in how hard we fight our own selfishness and natural ambitions. The most formidable foe that ever struck his mailed fist upon the portals of a college ideal Is the husky, fleet-footed, brave-hearted boy with a lean purse and a fat athletic record. What Vs a college going to do about this boy? He has a reasonable desire to master mathematics and literature and an overwhelming desire to win athletic fame. His record of mental attainment is fair ar.d his athletic record reads like the fairy tale of the tailor who slew seven giants at a blow. Will the athletic committee help him through school? This is his favorite college. He wants to come here; first choice and ail that. Well, the athletic authorities look with longing eyes upon these thews and lines and ligaments. If they do not take him some other school will. He Is at their door seeking an education and athletic glory. Will he wort his way through? He will. So they get him a Job and he deposits his lean knapsack In the track-training house. It depends altogether upon your viewpoint of this transaction. I have seen such a boy standing at the door of a great university. I have heard all the talk of his entrance to the school. There was no secret about it. It was fair and square and aboveboard. Here was a boy who wanted to play baseball or football bad enough to work a year In school before he Could go on the team. A boy who will do thia must

Leonard Evidently Is Trying to Make Business Good Among Lightweights NEW YORK, Nor. 24—Every time business gets bad a boxer “goes back When opponents become few and cash scarce the big fighters stimulate trade by getting not so good as they used to be. Last winter .lack Dempsey was pining away for a little work and the heavyweights were all wanting as much money to be the victim as he wanted to lie the victor. Bill Brennan came along and went twelve rounds with the champion, twelve rounds in which the champion “looked terrible.” Then every big fellow In th • game thought he had a chance for the title and Georges Carpentier was so sure he could get Dempsey while he was slipping that he was willing to cut a hundred thousand off his price for the privilege of winning the crown. The Frenchman thought the same thing until he got one poke from the champion's left and he realized then that if Dempsey had gone back, it was n good thing he had never met him when he was good. Benny Leonard hasn't been working much. The lightweights all pass him up because he's too good. They want a fortune to be knocked off and Benny has to associate with the welters. Tuesday night. Leonard went eight rounds against Sailor Freidmnn in Philadelphia and they say “he was terrible.” The men fought at cntchwelght. The Insiders say that Leonard has gone back: that in* cnii't make the weight; that he's afraid of his hands; that his Judgment is gone, und his speed vanished. But you can’t tell anything in a catchweight bout. Only Few College Grid Battles in West Today CHICAGO, Nov. 24.—Although, the Big Ten football season officially closed with the games of Inst Saturday, Turkey day games were not missing from Mid West gridirons. Michigan Aggies and Notre Dame were to provide one 'of the feature battles at South Bend. The annual MlsHtnuri Kansas struggle and the Colorado Aggies at Nebraska were other games that held interest. Wabash met Marquette at Milwaukee In what was expected to be a real struggle. In professional football ranks tne Buffalo All-Stars anil the Staleys of Chicago were to meet here in un 1 nportaut battle. NEW PURPLE CAPTAIN. CHICAGO, Nov. 24.—James J Batterson of Chicago has been elected captain of the ID'-- Northwestern University football eleven, l’attersou played full back this year.

want an education as well as football fame. Ho must make his grade to make the team The old hired football player who walked from the logging camp or the mine or shop directly into a varsity squad for a cash bonus is a thing of the past. I believe that college athletics are reasonably fair and sportsmanlike and clean. More than one big school can boast truly that three-fourths of its football team came from the prep, schools of its natural and eontlnguous territory. Some of these boys are honestly working their way through school, and it is even probable that one or more of them has a sinecure of a job or has had his tuition shaved or board hill pared down. It is a hard proposition, and it has many ramifications. There is a tendency upon the part of some people to carry the technicalities too far, and upon the part of others not to carry them far enough. Somewhere there is a line of decency; a happy medium that is fair and fine. And I have heard and observed enough in the inner life of college athletic councils to convince me that the main idea of the big majority is to observe the rules of good sportsmanship. Take the case of that boy I mentioned a while ago. He works his way through the first year Just like any and many another student. The next year he carries the ball into a whirlwind and when the dust settles he is lying there with a broken tone or a torn ligament. He can not work and the school carries him through. Jt is a wide, deep, debatable subject. My Pittsburgh reader seems to think I can throw a lot of light on it. But my candle casts only a faint ray. I have met a dozen college coaches and as many physical directors and athletic managers in the great Eastern universities this year, and I'll give you my word that every man of them appealed to me as a high-class sportsman of the finest type. I liked the way they talked on the fundamentals. Every one of then had had his team shocked and shattered at different times by faculty rulings on the study standings of his players, anfl in every case he took his medicine with a grimace and a mutter, but without complaint. Football coaches talk to their players nowadays about the necessity for study as well as strategy. Professors talk to their students about the advantage and benefit of athletics. This is an ideal state of affairs. And as long ns it exists to any considerable extent, I simply can not get all “het up” about the decadence anj unfairness of college competitive sports.

THE WORLD OF SPORT

BOWLING

STATE ELEVENS END SCHEDULES Notre Dame, Wabash, Earlham, Franklin and Valpo in Hard Games, The 1921 Hoosier College grid season was to come to a close today when four Indiann elevens completed their schedules with Turkey day games. The Thanksgiving day program included Notre-Dame and Michigan Aggies at South Bend, Wabash and Marquette at Milwaukee, Franklin and Earihatn at Richmond and Valpo and South ITakota State at Gary, Ind. From a general Indiana viewpoint the first two contests were the most outstanding, although the game at ltichin > id was expected to be one of the best of the year. The performance of Notre Dame and Wabash today was watched with intense interest by grid followers in the State us the two games turnished an ideal means of regulating State standing by the comparative score route. Marquette, the Wabash opponent today, only last Saturday met Notre Dame and made the Irish bustle to win ny a 21 to 7 score. Therefore, the result > t today's game will furnish the best opportunity of the season for comparing the two out standing teams in Indiana—Notre Dame and Wabash. In the Notre Dame-Aggie contest rested an opportunity of comparing Notre Dame and Butler. Butler won from the Aggies by a 3 to 2 score several weeks ago. The Irish were overwhelming favorites to win by it top-heavy score today, but in the past the Aggies have had a habit of upsetting the dope en the annual meetings between the two elevens by forcing the Notre Dame eleven to step fast to ratty away the honors. Apparently evenly matched and each armed with a good team, Franklin and Earihatn were to stack into each other today in what promised to be one of the most furiously and bitterly contested struggles in the grid history of the two schools. Coaehes Mowe and Nelp of Earihatn and Franklin, respectively, have bad their men pointed toward this contest since the initial practice of the season, and anything which either mentor has been keeping up his sleeve throughout the season was to be brought into play for this game. Both Franklin and Earihatn won from Hanover by seven-point margins, while Frnnkltn lost to Butler by a 28 to 0 score and Enrlham lost to the same team by a count ow 33 to 7. According to these scores the two elevens meeting today were about evenly matched on dope. Valpo was to wind up a good season by taking on a worthy opponent In South Dakota State. There is practically no means available of comparing the two elevens, but the South Dakota bunch is reputed to have one of the best teams In that section.

SOUNDS OPPORTUNE WARNING AGAINST BETTING SHADOW BEING CAST OVER FOOTBALL

ATLANTA. Ga., Nov. 24.—Ahe charge that professional gamblers of Atlanta nre casting a shadow over football In Atlanta, und that If It Is not stopped It may prove injurious. Is made in a letter sent to Atlanta by William P. Garrison, graduate manager of the Rutgers football team, which was defeated by Georgia Tech on Grant field here early in the season by a score of 48 to 14. Speaking of thi sphase of the football situation In Atlanta, he writes. “Last year when we were Invited by Tech to play we were aware of the break with Centre nnd Pittsburgh and tile attending publicity it attracted. In addition we heard ugly rumors concerning other conditions in Atlanta which made us pause and think the (situation over. The game was scheduled on the advice of some of our alumni, who assured us from personal observation that Tech was a desirable opponent. The game was therefore scheduled and prepared for to the best of our ability. BETTORS APPROACH TEAM MEMBERS. "Our squad had not been in Atlanta an hour before a number of people Interested in gambling on the result of the game sought our coaches, managers and players, for opinions and information. This was a brand new experience for us. Ugly rumors having to do with gambling activities soon began to go the rounds, and I confess that the atmosphere was so foreign to anything we had ever encountered that it shocked us "It seemed to us deplorable that Atlanta should put her first foot foremost In this fashion. People Interested In the gambling made tbelr presence felt up to game time, and even In the grand stand where I sat it appeared to me that every touchdown, every penalty, every move of a player meant something to somebody s pocketbook. to be accompanied by the cheers of the winners and the curses of the losers as the case might be. HARSH COMMENTS HEARD IN STANDS. "I know this situation exists In any sport crowd, but seldom to this extent. The press in Atlanta is naturally Interested in supporting and upholding the fair name of the city. The greatest favor newspapers can do Atlanta and Tech Is to use your powerful sporting page to combat the gambling tendency on the pnrt of certain elements In your population. "Another thing for Tech they might

MANUAL ROLLS UP BIG SCORE Red and White Eleven Runs Circles Around Shortridge in Annual Tilt. j i CITY SERIES STANDING. (For PubUc H. S. Title.) Played. Won. Tied. Lost. Pet. Ylartual *3 1 1 0 1.000 Technical ... 2 0 2 0 .000 Shortridge .. 2 0 1 1 .000 It was Red and White day at Irwin field yesterday in the final game of the city public high school football series and the Manual eleven put the skids under their Shortridge -rivals to the tune of s<> to 0. The boys from the south side simply ran wild after they got under full headway and Coach Julius' lads from the north side could do little in the way of stopping the charge of the red-jer-seyed warriors. The contest was started with great gustto on the part of the rival cheering sections and the best of feeling prevailed throughout. Four officials were used to direct the contest and with the exception that the game turned into a rout, everything went off in fine style. The Manual boys got away to a flying start when Harmeson booted a place-kick over the Shortridge goal. The first pesriod ended 3 to 0 in favor of Manual. Then in the second period the Red and White machine put over a touchdown and the opening half closed with the score 9 to 0 in favor of the Manualites. At the start of the third period a Manual fumble gave Shortridge an excellent chance, and tor a time the Manual boys were putt on the defensive. Shortridge rapidly carried the ball to the Manual goal line and had the pigskin over, only to fumble. Manual fell on the ball behind its own goal line for a touchback, which permitted Manual to put the ball in play on its own twenty-yard line. This Shortridge miscue apparently was the “break” of hte game, for the Blue and White really was going big until the fumble | occurred, preventing a Shortridge 6Core. Manual braced immediately following this incident and instantly started a : whirl of gains. Seven points were scored by the south siders In the third period and thirty-four In the fourth. The contest developed into a rout for Shortridge and Manual prac- ! tleally ran up and down the field at will in the closing minutes of play. The big feature was an elghty-five-yard run through the entire Shortridge team by ; Harmeson, who took the ball on the kick-off and raced away to the Shortridge goal. Quarter Back Harmeson was the ontI standing star of the day with his long I end runs, off tackle sprints and forward j pass gains. He played like a college vet | and displayed gorm that indicates he will | be heard from as a star when he enters | the collegiate ranks. ; Summers, Manual full back, and Stewi art half back, also played with brilliancy, In fact, it was a Manual day. ! Reichel, Cecil and other Manual linesmen tore huge holes in the Shortridge I forward defense, and the Manual ends | also did exceptiaoally well. Shortridge showed little defense against the forward pass and Manual made gain after gain by the aerial route. In the series played Ly the three loi cal public high schools Manual is the ! only school to score a victory. Shortridge i nnd Tech played a scoreless game and | Manual and Tech did likewise. Then i came yesterday's game and hardly any j one figured that there was much difference in class between Manual and Shortridge previous to the contest. Bui after I the event was over, oh, my. what a disI ference! i Years ago. In the “old days" along t about 1903. Shortridge defeated Manual, ,51 to 0. In the contest yesterday Manual ; had a chance to top that score, but when [ the touchdowns were coming rapidly nearly all the team members were given a chance at booting goal, whereas if Harmeson had been left to do all the kicking after touchdowns the count proljablv would have been raised to about 53 ; or w to 0. ; Rilev played a hard game for Short ridge yesterday, but he was handicapped bv an injured leg right in the midst of his good work. Wanner, quarter back, I ulso did well. Reichel, star Manual center, displayed his all-around ability l*y dropping back ' into the back field once to carry the bal! ! over for a touchdown. He also con- , tributed many tackles, both in scrimmage and in the open field. . : Ltne-up and summary: ! Manual (50). Shortridge (0). ; Elder L. E._ Stillwell [ Arens L. T Ray Floyd L. G S.
