MUD FOR EAST AND WEST TILT Penn State and Washington Meet Tomorrow on Heavy Grid. SEATTLE, Deo. 2.—The Indications today were that, due to incessant rain, the Penn State and University of Washington elevens would be compelled to tight their East vs. West battle on a muddy, slow gridiron here tomorrow afternoon. Neither Coach Bezdek of the Easterners nor Coach Bagshaw of the Sun Dodgers would make a prediction on the probable score. The football experts, however, expect the Westerners to be massacred. Bezdek has one of the best—if not the best—football machines developed in the East this year and Washington is about 69 points shy of being the strongest team in the Pacific Coast Inter-Collegiate Conference, for California walloped Washington, 72 to 3. a few weeks ago. With the exception of Captain Snell, who is ill with an .abscessed throat, the Nittany Lions are in fine condition. Bob Ingraham, tackle, and one of Bagshaw's standbys all season, probably won’t get a chance to play, due to injuries. Atlanta Sneers Prevent Centre-Georgia Tech Game ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 2.—Anonymous letters and telegrams from Atlanta, containing "sneers and insults" to Centre College, have prevented Georgia Tech and Centre from arranging a football game for 1922 in Atlanta, it was said today by Dr. S. S. Wallace of the Georgia Tech athletic committee. Dr. Wallace made public excerpts from a letter from J. B. Wood, alumni mn iager of Centre athletics, saying. "T'lis fall we have been receiving regularly letters, telegrams, marked copies of papers, covered with sneers, insults and the like.” Mr. Wood added, according to Dr. 'Wallace. that “tn Justice to Tech, I should say thev are most likely in no way responsible,” but that it was felt It would be best tc defer a game in Atlanta until “this cptrit among the followers and sympathizers has undergone a change." Dr. Wallace issued a statement, saying no one connected with Georgia Tech and no friend of the school had anything to do with sending such communications to Centre College authorities.

In last night's game the Dentals got the Jump *on Huntington when McPherson caged a field goal and followed by'scoring a foul goal. McPherson was on the scoring end of most of the Denial plays last night, but he was also oa the defense when needed. The little forward showed a world of sj>eed in covering the floor and remained In the game until within five minutes of the final gun. Rich, a forward Fairmount High School athlete, was sent in for McPherson. . . .. In the defensive department of the game the Dentals showed best. All of Huntington's scores came on long shots of at least half the length of the floor. Bonebrake and Murris starred In the goal getting for the visitors. O. Mathew and Captain Witter formed a defensive combination that gave the Huntington team but two close-up shots at the basket and both of these attempts were hurried and went wild. lteevos and DeuKyne. Dental forwards, were riot hitting the basket last night as they have done in other games, but both showed all kinds of speed at covering the floor, and their passing was good In the final half the Dental second team was given a chance aud the entire varsity was taken out of the game. It was n good battle between l lener, the Dental, and Bonebrake. the tall Huntington pivot man. Bonebrake had the advantage of height and got most of the tip-offs, but the play of Witter and Me Pherson was so fast that ILintlngton gained little advantage by geWing the jump Both Flener and Bonebrake each scored two field goals.

FOOTBALL

SPORT EDITORIAL By EDDIE ASH More power to the "midget” football .earns of the city! The little fellows organized elevens all over town this season and with the exception of a few differences over “championship” claims, the schoolboy outfits got along splendidly. When the "kids” take hold of a sport in the manner that Indianapoxis boys "went for” football this fall. It means great things. Eventually many of these present youngsters will be heard from on high school and college fields and when they reach those heights the experience gained In their kid days is bound to be of help. Becoming enthusiastic over football while in knee trousers probably will lead many of these boys to continue In school who otherwise would drop out after the eighth grade. There Is something In that argument. Too many boys quit school after completing the grades and as a result they go through life minus the benefits of a sound education. But If a hoy is fired with athletic ambition ho Is not likely to give up school; he will go to high school and then to college. All the while he is forced to keep up in his studies, but in most cases he is not even forced to study. He knows that if he Is going to shine on the athletic field he must do a little shining In the classroom. There were about ten well-organized “midget teams praying on local fields the past season. Nearly every big amateur team had its "midget” trailer, lads of the various neighborhoods who were determined to play but were barred from the big teams because of lack of age and size. Some had an older boy who acted as coach, others were coachless, but they managed to put up a scrappy brand of football. They planned their own plays and worked out their own system of signals. In fact, they all did splendidly considering their luck of experience and other handicaps. Perhaps next year the city recreation department will find the means and time to take these "kid" teams, <fl-ganize a league, or something similar to a league, and encourage them along other lines. More power to the "midget” football teams!

HOOSIER STATE NET GAME STILL IMPROVING; ANOTHER FLOCK OF GREAT FIVES NOW IN MAKING

lsy VEIJDER CARD. Another great season of basket-ball has Just got under way in Indiana.' lloosierdom does not take a back Beat to any State in the Union In tLe class of basketball played, and all indications point to au exceptional year for the net game in 1921 22. Indiana is becoming recognized as a leader in the popular basket sport aud there are many who claim that the very highest brand of basket bail played anywhere can be found among the colleges lud high schools of this State. This season will be no exception to the general rule of strong teams. At the present time, Wabash, Purdue and Butler seem to have the edge on the other college quintettes. Lambert at Purdue always has a top-notch team and with last year's five intact with the exception of Coding the Lafayette squad will be heard from in Conference ami State circles. Last year the Boilermakers were In a triple tie with Michigan and Wisconsin for the Big Ten title. This season they will be ready to make an even stronger bid for honors. "Piggy” always develops a fast team, bpovd is the main requisite that the Purdue coach must have and along with the dash must be combined clever footwork. Lambert's teams always have a characteristic cleverness on the court that conies with smooth handling of the ball and a studied finesse in the art of pivoting. With White and Miller back he has two of the best guards in t"e West. Over at Crawfordsville the Wabash Little Giants appear to have an aggregation that will uphold the net traditions of the school thut bus gained such a reputation lately on the court Goldsberry, who is one of the greatest scorers from the field tn this State, will lie ready to bother opponents as of old as soon as be has recovered a bit from the strenuous football season just passed. The old live is back with the exception of Pehanlaub nnd the outlook Is very en couragtng to Couch Vnughan. At present the Wabash coach Is trying to get an accurate line on his material, ns everybody at the Crawfordsville institution seems to want to play basket-ball. Butler, under the able tutelage of I’af Page, is s ire to have an exceptional team this season. Freshmen are giving some of last year's regulars a run for their Jobs Griggs and Black, former Technical High School players, are showing up well. The Itntler management Is considering playing more games at Tom llnson Hall this winter, for last season tlie Irvington authorities found out that the small gym at the school was not large enough to hold the crowds. It will be a good thing for the sport If many of the games are transferred to the downtown hall so that everybody that wants to witness the contests can be accommodated The first game of the schedule was * walkaway for the l’agemen and fine things are expected of them throughout the season. Not so much as known of Indiana or De Pauw, but they surely will bo repre- ! sented bv strong fives. I.

Coaches who have seen the teams In action were amazed at the material on the prep quin tettes. It takes more than a good player now to make the best teams In the State, either high school or college. Medium and good performers have not much show on Hoosler courts. In these days of super basket-ball the extraordinary players are the only ones to represent the high class fives The popularity of Las ket ball Is increasing steadily, and it is no wonder that such is the case In this State, us the net fans are seeing the best In the land when they watch their fn vorites do battle to the tune of the referee s whistle.

RING GOSSIP

Mat Fans See Lots of Action as Giant Grapplers Perform Zbyszko, Reynolds and Trout Win Bouts Before Packed House. There was much ado at the Broadway Theater last night—three wrestling bouts and each one fussy enough to keep the crowd howling in giee. The theater was packed from pit to home, and the fans were kept on the edge of their seats throughout the allstar performance. In Ihe main event Stanislaus Zbyszko. world's champion, won over Gobar, the Hindu giant, by scoring two falls in succession, the first in twenty-seven minutes with a leg scissors hold and the second in eleven miuwith a rolling arm lock grip Zl.y'szko was too wise for the Hindu and he seldom was in danger. Frequently the Hindu got holds thut looked threatening, but always "Zibble" would wriggle a bit, then turn and break the hold. "Zlbble's” broad hiijk was too broad for Gobar to handle and he would have got Just about as far if he had tried to turn over a freight car. The two giants shed enough perspiration to float the mat, and perhaps the only reason the mat didn’t float away was because of the beef-trust weight of the grapplers. The most exciting bout of the night was between Jack Reynolds, welterweight title claimant, and Jimmy Auderson, hailing out of Minneapolis. Anderson essayed to be rough, but it didn’t get him anywhere but on his back, lteyonlds loosed him in two straight falls, the first by u leg spilt In fifteen minutes and the second In seven minutes by a Japanese combination leg aud toe hold. This scrap had the crowd standing on Us hind legs,” for the two grapplers were In good shape aud apparently able to stand anything. They pawed, kicked and scratched, Reynolds finally getting a cut eye. Anderson had a whale of a neck and shoulders and torso to match. He did an Annette Kellerman dive once ttiat near]v took the root off the house, lie was c'hiefly beef, however, and fell prey to Reynolds’ scientific holds after Jack got the chance to apply them. In the opening match Billy Trout of Kokomo flipp’d Mike Doney, a Greek. In two straight fulls. Billy was too smart for the husky Greek and handled him Just about how he liked.

They will be set swinging through a wide range and a gridster carrying a football will attempt So run tho length of the court and dodge ull of the sacks.

Schedules of Big Ten Schools to Be Fixed at Meeting Conference Coaches Gather in Chicago to Arrange Athletic Cards. CHICAGO, Dec. 2.—Fencing, wrestling and gymnastic coaches of the Western Conference met here today to arrange a schedule for the season. The place and time of the Big Ten championships in these events will be definitely settled. Football coaches meet tomorrow to arrange the gridiron cards for 1922. At the same time track, baseball aud swimming mentors will gather in annual session. Little attempt will be made. It is thought, to list football games with Eastern institutions. Only one intersectional battle—Princeton and Chicago hero —has been settled, though lowa may con sent to travel to New Haven for a clash with Yale just previous to the Princeton game. Michigan may arrange a game with Vanderbilt in the South and California may play either on the Illinois or Ohio State card. Otherwise coaches are to limit competition to Big Ten. Chicago, Ohio State and Illinois will undoubtedly carry five Conference games on the schedule again, while the other institutions appear to be satisfied with four Big Ten tilts and two with smaller colleges, thereby leaving an open date between the hard battles. Differences which caused a split between Ohio State and lowa may be Ironed out aud a game arranged, it Is said. Old Rivals Meet Tonight FRANKLIN, Ind..

WALKER SOON TO PICK TEAM Winner Seems Certain at De Pauw—Wabash Freshmen Series Proposed. GREENCASTLE, Ind., Dec. 2.—Candidates for the De Pauw basket-ball squad are working strenuously in daily practices here under the eye of Coach Walker. By Monday at the latest, Coach Walker expects to pick the Tiger varsity squad and put into operation anew schedule of practice. Already many candidates for the Old Gold quintette have been eliminated. Competition for places is becoming keen-* er daily as the veteran players round into form. Games between picked teams have taken up most of the practice time of the week. After the varsity" squad has been selected, tha second string men who remain will be allowed to practice from 3 to 4:30 o'clock each afternoon on the court. Varsity men will practice daily from 4:30 to 5:30 o'clock. There is little doubt but that all of the former members of Tiger quintettes will be members of the squid. In addition, several of the sophomore and junior candidates who have tried out for basketball here in previous years probably will be selected. Very few freshmen will make the squad, it is predicted. If plans of Coach Walker are consummated, Tiger freshmen basket-ball players will have two opportunities to clash with a Wabash freshman quuintette. An attempt is being made to schedule a game with the Wabash freshmen to b| played here Dec. 9 during au intertnisN siou in the annual gymnasium exhibition. The second game would be a return fray and would be played at Crawfordsville. Negotiations are under way for two indoor track meets to be scheduled between De Pauw and Wabash.
