COACHES DRAFT > SCHEDULES FOR BIG TEN GAMES lowa After Stronger Card— Longer Grid Season is Discussed. HAWKEYES-YALE, OCT. 14 PURDUE TRACK DATES. CHICAGO. Dec. 3. —Major Kellogg. Purdue athletic director, today anno nncerl Purdue track dates as follows: May 6—Chicago, at Chicago. liny 13—Indiana, at Bloomington. May 20—Northwestern, at Lafayette. March 11—Northwestern, at Evanston (Indoor). The indoor Conference track me A V.TII be held at Northwestern University, March 17 and IS. The outdoor meet will be held at Chicago University, June 2 and 3. CHICAGO. Dec. S.—Football, baseball, track and swimming schedules of every university in the Big Ten Conference were to be drafted at a meeting here today of the- athletic authorities of these institutions. Changes in rules were also discussed. Two important revisions brought up were: Lengthening of the football season from seven to eight games by an early start; permitting students to play professional baseball in the summer and 6till retain their amateur standing. Football schdules held chief Interest. A stronger schedule for lowa, the conference champions, was considered fossibp* with games with Ohio State and Wisconsin in prospect. Coach Howard Jones of the Hawkeyes announced that his team will play Yale on Oct. 14 unless such a date 'would Interfere with the conference schedules. "I would not vbreak. my relations with conference teams for a dozeu Yale games,” Jones said. If additional Big Ten games are scheduled lowa may drop Notre Dame. Jack Wile#. Ohio Btate mentor, seemed favorable to an lowa game. There were no Indications that Ohio State would resume relations with Wisconsin, broken last year. Wiice said be expected Ohio State to have a schedule about The same as this year with probably not so many at-home games. Illinois will be the last game of the season as usual. Minnesota, after three bad years, found It difficult to place games with so-called first division teams: The Piineeton-Chieago game will be ployed on Oct. 28. at Stagg field, one week later than this year’s game. Illinois and Northwestern, it is understood. are negotiating for games in 19-'-and 1923 and Notre Dame may appear on ■Wisconsin’s schedule next year. Coach Rockne of Notre Damei an nouDced his team would play .he Army on Nov. 11 and Nebraska at Lincoln on Thanksgiving day. Rutgers will be dropped. Failure of the East to support the national Intercollegiate track and field meet held at Stagg field this year will result in small return from the Mid-West in the Penn relays in the spring. Indoor swimming and track meets undoubtedly will be awarded to Northwestern again. The date will be about the middle of March. The annual indoor relay carnival will be held at Illinois shortly afterward. Coach Jones of lowa stopped here on his way home from the East, where he saw some of the big gam’s, including the Army-Navy struggle. The Hawkeyc mentor asserted he had talked to prominent football men in the section, including Walter Camp. He said the general opinion in the East is that site shift play should be retained, despite criticism of the play bv Maj. Charles Daly of West Point and Foster Sanford of Rutgers. Jones asserted the Army went so far as to use the Notre Dame shift against ►the Navy and did well with it. Officials of the Western Intercollegiate Gymnastic, Wrestling and Fencing Association yesterday voted to settle wrestling championships in the future on a percentage basis similar to the methods employed in determining titles in football and basketball. Leaders in the various classes at each Institution will then participate in the association's final meet. This tournament will be staged at Madison. Wls., on March 17 and IS. or March 81 and April 1, the dates to be announced later.

Indianapolis football fans will get some more entertainment tomorrow when the Belmonts, city independent champions, met the strong Kokomo Legion eleven at Washington Park. The game will start at 2:30 o'clock and from all reports it is going to be a real scrap.

Every Local High Net Squad Tastes Defeat on Courts Manual and Shortridge Open Seasons With Losses — Tech Goes Doun. Every local public high school net team played last night and every one was defeated. Manual and Shortridge opened their basket-ball season and in so doing opened up wide enough to allow opposing teams to slip through for victories. Tech continued its early season pace by losing to Moorcsville, 24 to 18. this being the fifth straight defeat for the Green and White. Wat ash nosed out Siiortridgo at the local gymnasium by a 21 to 20 count, while Columbus buried Manual to the tune of Cl to 13 on the Columbus court. After leading by a comfortable margin throughout the game Shortridge slipped in the final minutes of play and Waqnsh quickly closed up the gap, a fle.d goal by Marks, visiting center. In ihe last thirty seconds of play, awarding the victory to Wabash. At the close of the first half Shortridge was on the long end of a 10 to 3 score and appeared an easy victor. The fact that this was the .first game of the year for the Blue and White, white Wabash has been playing for some time, accounts to a groat extent for the failure of the locals to maintain a stiff pace throughout the contest. Kinzer and Johnson were the outstanding stars for Shortridge, while Marks played* best for Wabash. Tech was also unable to maintain an even gait throughout their contest and relinquished a 14 to 9 lead at the end of the first half for a decisive drubbing. The Green and White started out with a rush and had the edge throughout tho first half. The last period, however, was nil Mooresville and the slender lead held by the locals at the end of the half w A as too small to be carried over into a victory. R. Hadley, Mooresville forward, featured the game with six field goals, and Jolley and Jessup were the lx-st performers for Tech. Tonight the east stders wilt meet Columbus at the local Y. M. C. A. Columbus last night swamped Manual. Cl to 13, and local fans will watch closely the result of tonight's game in an effort to compare th- two Indianapolis teams. Manual was no match for the powerful Columbus five last night and the local basketeers were treated to one of the most terrific drubbings it has ever been the bad fortune of an Indianapolis high school t suffer. The Manual players were completely baffled by tho speedy floor work and spectacular goal shooting of the Columbus aggregation. Essex, Ilowe and Delgler formed a combination that Manual could not fathom and the trio swept down the floor at will for a continuous stream of field goals. The score at the end of the half was 32 to 4 in favor of Columbus. Barker was the only player from the south side school to show to advantage, the local pivot man counting three baskets from the field. Tha Red and White five will play at Pendleton tonight, meeting the strong high school five of that place. FIVE STRAIGHT FOR RIPPLE. NEW BETHEL, Ind., Dec. 3.—Broad Ripple High School defeated New Bethel here last night, 19 to 11. The Ripple team was on the short end of a 9-to-5 count at the half, but came back with plenty of fight and the locals failed to get a field goal in the final period.

FOOTBALL’S POPULARITY’ DUE TO UNDERLYING PRIMITIVE INSTINCTS OF ALL MANKIND
By TEDDER GABD. The enormous crowds that attended the ! big football games this fail are still the talk of sportdom and many persons who have not heretofore been interested in sport of any kind have been Inquiring Just what has made the grid sport so popular. It is very easily explained. In the first place when two college football elevens line up agahist each other tho spectators are sure that they are seeing tle truest exemplification of real sport that to be witnessed in this age where monetary consideration is spoiling real sportsmanship. There Is no doubt but that the two groups of players battling on the gridiron are putting od a real contest. There is no hint of blppodroming and it is only the uninformed that can even think of such a thing. Eleven physically fit athletes fiercely fighting for supremacy is a spectacle the ancient Roman Coliseum could Lot improve Upon. And there is nothing mercenary in it, although, of course, some of the players are gaining reputations that will mean coaching positions after they are through school. Other members of the teams will go into professional football. But the vast majority are out there on the grid battling not alone for the honor or the college they represent but because they iove the thrill of personal conflict. Not very doep under the veneer of civilization lies the primitive man. That'B a big reason why mammoth crowds fill the various stands to watch the grid gladiators do battle and most of the thumbs, as in olden times, are turned down. SPECTATOR FEELS THRILLS OF BATTLE. It’s no pink tea affair—a football game. It takes men of courage, of resourcefulness and nerve to play the great American college game. The followers of the sport, increasing by leaps and bounds each year, get some of the zest of conflict by proxy. The surge of the men on the field sweeps through the bleachers and the spectators fight alongside their champions on the whitechalked grid. That’s why football is becoming more popular each year and colleges are building larger and larger stadiums to hold the howling hosts th'at can not fight in the real contest but feel the primitive urge that has come down through the ages to creep under the white shirt of the twentieth century male. The hearts under fur coats and chrysanthemums beat hard and fast as conventions ace forgotten for a moment as the song of victory rings out or the depth of despair is reached as some flying form on the fi*ld of play lies still while the sinister figure with the black bag trots out from the sidelines. Os course everybody that sees a football game does not feel to the full the grand sweep of the struggle. There are some that sit ..unmoved. But even the most stolid can not help bat catch

big week for the Duke and his sidewalk orations. Small town residents are getting ready to hoek the courthouse to obtain funds to back their basket-ball teams. Right now there are more than 500 “best" high school fives in the Iloosier State. They ull look good in their own back yards. The sad fade-outs will come, iu February and March. Someone aSktd so ra suggestion for an All-American team ltne-up. The 1921 gridiron were alive with super greats and It would take a dozen Walter ( amps to get the exact line on the talent. However, there’s no war tax on submttt'ng a suggestion, and here's one suggestion: Left End —Roberts, Center. Left Tackle—Slater, lowa. Left Guard—Plxley, Ohio State. Center-—Stein, Pittsburgh. Right Guard—Brown. Harvard. Right Tackle—McMillan. California. Right End —E. Anderson.-Notre Dame. tjuntter Back—Devine, lowa. Left Half — ICiUlnger, Penn State. Right Half—Aldrich, Yale. Full Back—Owen, Harvard.
Other matches were two-out-of-three affairs. The winners were Outfitting, Great Western and Home Furniture squads. After losing the first game the Great Westerns managed to squeeze out two wins in the last attempts. Every match was too close for comfort. The Home Furniture aggregation won the first contest by two idns and then dropped the next, but came strong enough in the final effort to take the odd match. Henry of the National Furniture crew was the star of the night with scores of 194, 212 and 206. Hickman of the same outfit with a 200 count was the only other bowler to reach the double century class. The Car Service five in the L. E. A W circuit was good enough to grab three straight from the Freight Claim team. The Traffics and Engineers were the odd game winners in the other matches. McCelland of the Traffic five was the best of the individuals with a mark of 209 in his second game. Other 200 bowlers were Fisher, 204, and Kirch, 201, both of the Car Service team, and Cox, 200, of the General Managers. Three-game- victories were the rule in Ihe Lafayette loop. The Torpedoes and Tourings were on top at the finish with the Roadsters and Limousines out of luck. The Gear Department nnd Trimmers in the Nordyke and Maruym League took straight victories. The Rocker Arms and Back Hangers were two-out-of-three winners. 'i he Rocker Arms posted the highest single game team score when Ihe Arms got swinging right for an 844 count in the second setto. Rettlg of the Tool Makers, after fooling along In his first uttempts with low scores, finally pulled himself together for a mark of 201. Indiana Pulls Away From Manchester Team as Game Nears Finish BLOOMINGTON, Ind . -Dec. 3.—lndiana opened the 1921 basket-ball season on the home floor by defeating Manchester College. 25 to 15, last night. The game was slow in the first half, which ended 11 to 10 in tho Crimßoti's favor. When play was resumed both teams pepped up considerably and for five minutes it was nip and tuck. Stanfer of the vtsitlng team tied the score with a free throw, making It 11 all. Indiana pulled away, however, and kept a comfortable lead throughout the rest of the game. Coach Lewis used enarly every man on his squad during the contest. Caledonians vs. Celtics in Big Soccer Match The Caledonian Soccer football team will play (he Celtic team at Riverside Park Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Tho Caledonian team is made up of a number of star players, several of whom hnvo played on English and Scottish teams. Large crowds attend these games of soccer football and much interest is shown. The Caledonian line-up includes tho following players: Lindsay, Rasmussen, George Brute, Lightower, Mooney, J. Bruce, Forsythe, Robinson, C. Bruce, Coburn, Clayton.
glimpses now and again of something in life they have missed. But others who witness their first contest at once find the spirit of tho entire play uplifting. The cobwebs of office and hundrum life are cleared away and true sport obtains devoted followers. They vaguely know that the sway of those human bodies out there mean something—that they carry some message to others to be the best men possible—-that the battle out there typifies the strife that is constantly being waged in all phases of endeavor throughout the world. MUCH DEPENDS ON THE COACH. Every type of liuma.j nature finds an interest in football. The mathematical and technical mind finds a game of chess with living men to be moved about over a field marked out by lines instead of squares. The coach of a grid team must bo precise, accurate and thorough. Unlike other games, tho coach has a chance to absolutely plan his plays from each line-up through his goneral, the quarterback. Those who appreciate the sensational and dislike any thought of method or system will find the startling, the unexpected, and sensational in roost any game they witness The technique of football is an all-absorbing study, the individual brilliance of the stars is like the flash of shining gems from out a precise pattern of careful workmanship. But those stones after all had to be cut and shaped into the perfect pieces of work they are. So with the football diamond who is developed into the wonderful player ho is bv the painstaking tutelage of a master of the art of football technique. Rugby football as played in America is one of the most highly de4lloped sports In Jhe world. Is there any wonder that huge crowds have turned out and will turn out agnin next year? With the purest amateur motives as a background and the most expert of technical tutors directing the play there yet remains the chief reason tor its tremendous popularity—l he primitive Joy of personal conflict, of a good fight between good men. What has been said about football is true to a Jess degree of. other sports. Basket-ball will never be quite as heart-clutching because the element of personal contact is being eliminated as much as possible. That is not saving that any other method should be followed on the court. The more men play the ball in a net game the better exhibition it is. One season of football in a year is enough. All of us like to go back to the stone age in the fall, but too much of it would dull our appetlties. Basket-ball and baseball are conflicts enough. We can all wait until next fall for the real struggles—the modern coliseum spectacles of a. nation that needs a bit of a “kick” now and then even if it does believe In disarmament.

TWO CONTESTS IN WHICH BIG Elevensplay W. and J. vs. Detroit and Penn State vs. Washington in Games Today. EAST LAUGHS AT COAST NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—Football popped up again today for a sort of postmortem. Penn State, carrying the crown of the East, played Washington iu Seattle. Washington and Jefferson’s unbeaten eleven went against the undefeated University ol Detroit team in Detroit. Against Washington, Penn State had nothing to gain and a lot of prestige to lose. California, which claims to be the greatest team on the coast beat Washington 72 to 3, and if Penn State failed to score fifty to a hundred points the great team of Hugo Bezdek wilt bo discounted on the coast. The announcement that the Tournament of Roses committee had selected Washington and Jefferson to represent the East against California on New Year’s day at Pasadena, caused mirth iu the East. Were if not for the fact that the coast by its action semi-offlcially crowns Washington and Jefferson as the-best In the East, the selection would be worth only passing notice. Pittsburgh is the only team of importance that ‘‘Greasy” Neale's eleven defeated during the past season. His team went through a very easy schedule without defeat and it can not in any way to regarded as the champion of the East. I,ast year the Ohio State-Cnlifornia game was regarded as a real game, and it caused a lot of interest, but a Washington and Jefferson game will get the California team no credit. It may be a world's series game for the coast, but It looks like a set-up to Eastern critics.

The Butler team as a whole seemed to be off last night, but this cannot detract from the showing of the Hanover five. The down staters, regarded as easy pickings for the Christian five, surprised everybody by their display of basket-ball ability and outplayed the locals iu a few departments of the game. Resorting so long shots, Butler began to pile up a lead shortly after the start of the game aud at the close of the half was on the long end of a 13-to-9 score.

MORE BUSINESS IN GOVERNMENT (Continued From Page One.) ness can wield the power Mr. - Kahn destres for business until business men of every kind and character express themselves at the polls. BUT business is not wholly inarticulate. One of the greatest pieces of constructive legislation in recent years was framed in part at least by members of the banking house of which Mr. Kahn is the head. The present Administration Is committed to more business in government and less government in business. Not a spokesman, but many spokesmen, are required if business is to command a full and complete hearing. And not an organizer, but many organizers. must come forth. If there Is to be more business ir. government, more business men must make it their business to participate in the work of government, the first essential of .which is to select men representative of the people.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

JAPAN DIVIDED ON NAVY RATIO STAND OF KATO Resolution Threatens Lives of Delegates if Hughes’ Plan Is Accepted. TOKIO, Dec. 3.—Two sharp factions have developed in Japan as a result of the stand of Admiral Baron Kato at Washington for the assignment to Japan of a naval ratio of 70 instead of CO per cent as provided in the program of Secretary Hughes. The Kokumln and other papers are sponsoring the fight for a 70 per cent ratio. At a gathering of 5,000 people in Hibiya Park, resolutions were adopted demanding firmness on the part of Japanese delegates at Washington in standing out for the 10-10-7 program and threatening the lives of the delegates if they return without the 70 per cent agreement. Officials and government bodies were adamant against concessions. Y'ukio Ozaki, however, who has a large following through this advocacy of disarmament, is urging moderation of Japan’s demands. Representing this wing" of opinion, the Y'omivri, leading paper, says editorially: “Though 60 is canifestly an improper ratio for Japan, nevertheless Japan will lose too much if the negotiations fail. Suppose Japan were to engage in com petition with America in naval construction. How long could we maintain even a 60 per cent ratio? We advise the people to weigh the chances of such disastrous competition.” It is pointed out here in connection with the fact that so far there has been no slowing down of the naval program despite the fact the Washington program is likely to be adopted is due to the necessity of any change in building plans being signed by the Emperor following diet approval.

HUMOR INJECTED IN DECKER CASE Trial Judge Admits He Owns ‘Tin Lizzie.’ Special to The Times. . COLUMBIA CITY, Ind., Dec. 3.—Faithful to her husband in adversity, Mrs. Fred Decker sat by his side in the Whitley Circuit Court room today while State’s attorneys tried to prove him guilty of complicity in a $24,000 insurance murder plot. A bit of humor was injected into th# trial last night during the testimony of Mrs. Walter Eckhart, a neighbor of the Deckers. There was some talk of driving to the Decker home while the two families were visiting at the Eckhart place. “You were to make the trip in a Lizzie, were you?” Judge Bowser of Ft. Wayne, attorney for the defense, asked. The State objected on the ground that an automobile should not be designated by other than its rightful name. “I sustain the objection,” said the Court, "as I travel in one myself.” Hundreds of people are turned away from the trial daily. Many came from Ivosciusko County, where Lovett was | killed, and from Ft. Wayne and other i northern Indiana points.
