DE PAUW WORKS FOR BIG SCRAP Secret Practice on Tap—Seats All Sold for Classic Net Tilt. GREENCASTLE, Ind,, Jan. s—Secret practice for the coming game with Wabash is being held daily by the Do Pauw basket-ball squad. With the return of the students of .the Tiger school Tuesday, more interest was evident in the coming clash, which is .always one of the classics of the court season in Indiana. Practically all 4>f the 2,000 tickets for seats in the Bowman gymnasium, where the game will be played Saturday evening had been sola by Wednesday evening. Coach Walker could guarantee Wabasn and students only 200 seats because of the size of ithe De Pauw sturent body, which must be accommodated, and the number of business and professional men here who hold season tickets. It doubtless will be impossible to admit all those who desire to see the game. Last Friday night the big gymnasium was crowded to the limit for the De Pauw-Purdue tilt and not nearly all of the Old Gold students saw the game. With the 1,200 De Pauw students here, there will be Just that many seats unavailable for outside fans. W r hen the referee starts the game at 7:30 o’clock Saturday night, it is expected that every person holding a ticket will be in his seat. This will prevent any delay in the game due to spectators coming on the floor in search of seals after the fray has begun, as was the case at the Purdue game. Doors of the gymnasium will be opened at 6 o’clock Saturdav evening and will be closed promptly'at 7:15, in order that pexsons inside the building may find seats before the game starts. Only a light work-out will be given the Old Gold squad Friday. Technical mistakes in play displayed by the Tigers in the Purdue game are being corrected this week along with new maneuvers being introduced. With the exception of Bills, who is suffering from a cold, members of the De Pauw basket squad are iu good physical condition. There is no overconfidence being expressed by the men, however. Every member of the Tiger squad expcts a fight from start to finish Saturday night. Dentals Show Better Basket Eyes as Game With Earlham Nears After a long scrimmage practice against Shortridge High School yesterday, the Indiana Dental College basket-ball team planned to hold only a short practice today in order to be "on edge” for the game with Earlham at Richmond, Friday. The Dentals play Rose Poiy at the Shortridge gvmnasium Saturday night. The Tooth Pullers seemed to be getting their “basket eyes” back yesterday and marked improvement was shown in goal shooting. The -work-out did the Shortridge teim a lot of good, for the passing of the Dentals kept the high school guards busy. However, the Shortridge athletes showed far better against the college players yesterday than they did before Christmas when the two teams held a practice scrimmage. At times the Ichool boys broke through the Den'ense and caged the ball yesterday he passing of the high school tte showed marked improvement. Dental game with Rose Poly here lay is attracting considerable ail as the Engineers played the locals ose games last year “Hap'’ Cragle will rel-'Tee the Dental-Rose Poly game Saturday.

As an incentive to harder playing, the winner in each game will receive the larger per cent of the gate receipts of that particular game. A draw to determine which two tennis shall play the opening game will be held Immediately and announced along with the personnels of the two competing teams. It is likely that the greater part of the players who will compete iu these two games will be taken from strong local independent, teams.

HERMAN LOOMS AS KILBANE RIVAL NEW Y'ORK, Jan. s.—Babe Herman, a little dark-skinned Portuguese from California, is being scouted by Johnny Kilbane. The little featherweight in a short space >f time has come to be looked upon as the one that may topple the crown off the head of the Cleveland Irishman. Many who have seen him in action believe that all he has to do is to get Kilbane in the ring, but that is a tough job for any one. Lots of nice things were said about the little Babe when he was doing the four-rounders out around San Francisco. He came East and worked with Jack Dempsey in Atlantic Cifcy when the heavyweight was getting ready for Curpentier. On the same card with the champion in Jersey City last July he made a great showing, but he developed some nasal affection and had to go home for an operation. * For the well-known acid test he is to meet Andy Chaney, the tough Baltimore battler, in Madison Square Garden Friday night. Last winter Kilbane said be considered Chaney the only dangerous man looking for his title. So if Herman gets by with him he looks like the logical choice for a chance with the champion. For a while, Kilbane. by his refusal to figbt, was the champion of unpopular champions, but Johnny Wilson has so far outdistanced the featherweight king that the knockers have almost forgotten the Cleveland fighter.

BOSTON, Jan. s.—Johnny Wilson, middleweight champion, is "broke,” according to reports being circulated here today.

CRAWFORDSYTLLE, Ind., Dec. 5 Wabash, with somewhat of a change in Its line-up. Is getting in pretty good shape for the scrap xvith De Pauw Saturday at Greencastle. The Little Giants are getting hard and long work-outs every afternoon in preparation for the game and the squad should be in fine physical condition when it stacks up against Walker’s five. Coach Vaughan has been using Goldsberry, who has been jumping at center, at the floor guard job iu the place of Burns, while Pearce, a freshman, and Thorn, are taking turns at the pivot place. Grater remains at back guard, while Adam and Crane are holding on to their forward berths. There seems to be more offensive power in this lineup and unless Vaughan sees another change for the good he is expected to open the Tiger Dattle with this outfit, using either I’eare or Thorn for the center Job. Despite the fact that De Pauw downed Purdue by five points, while the Boilermakers took Wabash into camp by a nine point margin, followers of the Scarlet are counting a great deal on seeeing a mighty stiff contest. The De Pauw team no doubt believes it can trim Wabash, Walker believes it, the Tiger followers believe It, but the Little Giants don’t believe it. Coach Walker has granted another hundred tickets to Wabash students, making 200 In ail, and the Scarlet student body Is still clamoring fur more. A great deal of interest is being tak-n in the coming Rcrap here, but the shortage of tickets will keep many from attending the game. One local newspaper is going to have play-by-play reports ou the game

YANKEES LOOK BEST FOR FLAG New Y’ork Club Lines Up Like Winner With Great Pitching Staff. NEW YORK, Jan. s.—ls Ban Johnson asked waivers on the American League pennant It probably would go to the New York Yanks. Other club owners aronnd the circuit are practically unanimous in the opinion that the team of Miller Huggins haa sewed up the race before It starts. With a pitching staff consisting of Carl Mays. Waite Hoyt, Joe Bush, Sana Jones, Harry Harper and Lefty CDoul. it looks like the Giants are out to “do” a Baltimore from the opening day. Huggins, of course, will be handicaped until May 20, when Babe Ruth and Bob Meusel will get into their first game, but with a pitching staff like that, many managers will say that it la a trivial worry about Ruth. Toward the end of the last pennant race It looked like the St. Louis Browns would be the real rival of the Yanks in 1922, and the club from down the river still looks good, especially if Dave Danforth comes through The Cleveland Indians took a long shot from the distance. Stuffy Mclnnis will fill a long felt want at first tase, but bis price was high, as Speaker had to get rid of Elmer Smith, the hero of the 1920 world’., series and a great outfielder. None of the other clubs look like they have a chance to bother tb- Yanks. While New Yorkers me confident that the Y’anks will repeat, they are not as optimistic about the Giants. The fans who saw the St. Louis Cards making their late dash through the National League last season know that McGraw has a job on his hands to repeat. In most of the major league cities the acquisition of Heinie Groh was regarded as pennant-buying by the Giants, but the Polo Ground bugs do not think so. In fact, the opinion is expressed that tMj Giants were weakened by the deal that they are not as strong as they were before the last race started. The bugs are having a hard time reconciling themselves to the loss of George Burns, and they are Dot pleased with the idea of benching little Johnny Rawlings, after the great work he did with the club last season. Mack Sells McCann PHILADELPHIA, Jan. s.—Robert E, McCann, shortstop, belonging to the Philadelphia American baseball club, has been sold to tbe Portland team of the Pacific Coast League, it was announced yesterday . McCann has played tn the Virginia and International Leagues.
