EDDIE ASH
IDDIE O’HARE OBTAINED FOR WIGGINS BOUT empse/s Sparring Partner Signed to Meet Chuck in Local Match Feb. 6. ATED SKILLFUL BOXER Eddie O’Hare, the sturdy sparring rtner of Jack Dempsey, -who helped the champion for his last two fights, 11 be the opponent of Chuck Wiggins Indianapolis, in the Elks Doxing show, Tomlinson Hall, Monday night, *Feb. It will be a scheduled ten round affair and will be the main go of the fistic exbition. Eddie McEaughlln, chairman of the mmittee of Elks, which is staging the xing show, received a wire from Hare’s manager, Leo F. Flynn of New >rk, today, accepting the terms of the dianapolis lodge. O’Hare is in a class among the light avyweights with Wiggins, and will be le to give the Indianapolis battler a rong argument. In fact, several memirs of the Elks lodge who have seen Hare perform, say that if Wiggins wins om him, he will have one of the tought contests in his career. In addition to the O’Hare-Wiggins atch there will be three other bouts on e card. Principals in the preliminary raps will be announced later. \hortridge Leads in First Half , hut Finally Goes Down If the game could have ended at the lf-wny mark last night, Shortridge did have won a basket-ball game, but it is very necessary that the last If be plaved the North Siders dropped other net tilt. This time is was Crawrdsville that won the verdict by a to 22 count. The visitors did not iow very much and the locals, if they uld have kept up the pace, stood a >od chance of victory. The first period ded 13 to 12 in favor of the home boys. Riley at floor guard, much as usual, as about the whole works for his team id counted six times from the field, id the same number of one-pointers om the foul line. The small Shortridge rwards failed to score a single point. the supposed scorer can not count a am has not much chance of victory and at in a nutshell is the story of the ntest. The Shortridge combination that orked last night seemed to be about :e best available. With Kilgore at tck guard the defense was improved, id Elmore at center seems to be the best )ach Gordon has for the pivot posl?n. If Shortridge could hare stopped E. inwiddie it could have stopped the tawfordsville team. This player from 3 position at back guard dribbled wn the floor time after time to pass his team mates and was the main 'ensive cog as well as a star on deise. In the last half he dropped in ree baskets from the field. The two awfordsville forwards got ten counters ■tween them. The Technical Seconds defeated the lortridge Seconds in a curtain raiser, to 6. r "• Winter Baseball EIGHT PLAYERS FOR TWO.

FINLEY AND DALTON \ IN MAIN FORT GO Jimmy Finley, of Louisville, who meets Jimmy Dalton of Indianapolis tonight in the main bout of the Ft. Benjamin Harrison boxing show is a real fighter with a punch in either hand. On Monday night, Finley outfought and outpointed Young Abe Attel of St. Louis, in a ten round bout before the Southern Athletic Club of Louisville. Finley won all the way in that bout. He is the lightweight title claimant of Kentucky. When Finley and Dalton meet tonight at Ft. Harrison, one of the best eight round boxing matches of the year is looked for. Dalton was matched to fight in Dayton, Ohio, last Monday, but that bout was postponed a week and he is in perfect perfect condition for his match with Finley. Jack Mendoza and Frankie Nelson will meet in the semi-final of the show in a six round bout. The boxers will weigh in at 125 pounds. Both boys are willing scrappers and the niatch should be worth while. Sidney Glick and Tim Busch go four rounds at 135 pounds. Glick is an Indianapolis product who won his fight last week at the Fort by a knockout in the second round. He looks like a comer. Teddy Dixon of Shelbyville and Jimmy Tomasello of this city are matched in a four round premliminary bout. The Ft. Harrison Athletic Club is following a policy of matching the winners of the Fort bouts with good opponents and it is for this reason that Dixon, who won last week, is on the card again.

DATES TOLEDO, Ohio, Jan. 19.—With the closing of entries for the twenty-second annual tournament of the American Bowling Congress only twelve days away, the office of Secretary A. L. Langtry was in receipt of so many requests for dates that it appeared certain the 1,000-mark in team entries would be given a stiff jolt, if not a knockout. The increase in popularity of the tenfin game is shown by the increase in enries during each successive year, Langtry said. This now is the greatest athletic event staged annually in this country, he claims. From a humble beginning of 41 teams in the first American Bowling Congress held in Chicago in 1901, a steady Increase has been shown until the Buffalo event last year when all previous records were broken by a 940-team entry. The entries this year close Feb.l and Feb. 27 the big smash opens in Toledo and extends over a period of 30 days, and $40,000 the greatest prize fund in the history of the classic will be competed for.

Hot Tilt Expected When Franklin Meets Bedford
FRANKLIN, Ind., Jan. 19—When the Franklin High School basket-ball quintette clashes with the fast Bedford five at Bedford Friday evening a red-hot contest is expected to develop. The crack Shelbyville aggregation lost to the Stone City players last Friday by a 32 to 24 score. Sheltyville Is rated among the Big Ten in Indiana high school basketball circles and the Wagnermen will have to show all they have in order to win. Coach Wagner has . put his men through strenuous practice this week in order to get them in shape for the game.
over Bobbie Roscoe, who forced Jack to three falls to win in a recent match. It is probable that Roscoe will be given another try at Jack at a later date, as the Canuk is confident that the result of a return match will be different. The terms of the agreement between Promoter Barton and the two wrestlers state that both must weigh in at 140pounds ringside, best two out of three falls, American style with the strangle hold barred. . . , Reynolds, who is coaching the Indiana Universitv mat squad, left today with the Hooslers for Ames, lowa, where they have a meet with the Hawkeye grapplers tomorrow night. TREMAINE IS SCED. DETROIT, Jan. 19.—Carl Tremaine, who defeated Jabez White at Windsor last night In ten rounds, today was made defenda-nt In a $40,000 breach of promise fight.

CLEVELAND, 19.—Zbyszko last night successfully retained his world’s heavyweight wrestling crown, throwing William Demetral with a toe hold and body arm lock in one hour and two minutes.

Dentals Win From St. Joseph; Take on Manchester Squad Tooth Pullers Out After Revenge in Game Tonight at Local *Y* The Indiana Dental College basketball team will play Manchester College tonight at the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium. The game starts at 7 :30 o’clock. St. Joseph College failed to halt the Dental squad last night and the Tooth Pullers won by the score 31 to 9. The Dental regulars made it 24 to 2 at the end of the first half. Coach ll<ze Clark sent in his second team in the last half and used fourteen men in the game. The St. Joseph team displayed a stubborn five-man defense that held the Tooth Pullers back for four minutes. Then DeaKyne caged a field goal and the St. Joseph defense broke. The passing game of the Dentals proved to much for the visitors and Reeve, DeaKyne, and McPherson swept down the floor for a series of goals. Gevertz was sent in after the first ten minutes of play for McPherson and he caged three field goals. Witter played a clever passing game and tossed one field goal. Drueefel and Hoffman were the best men in the St. Joseph combination. With the Dental regulars on the bench the game became more interesting, as the Dental second team and St. Joseph played about even. Both missed numerous shots for the basket. In the opening period St. Joseph did not get a shot at the goal closer than half the length cf the floor. In' the final half St. Joseph got a few close up shots but they were hurried and the most of them went far from the basket. The game proved just a good workout for the Dentals to prepare them for their game with the Manchester College quintette at the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium tonight. The Manchester team defeated the Dentals 25 to 18 at North Manchester some weeks ago. Since that time both teams have, played some fast basket-ball and the game tonight should prove ono of the best college basket-ball games of the year. Looks as Though There’s Nothing Left for Wilson to Do but Face Harry NEW YORK, Jan 19. —It never rains but what is pours, and you can prove it bv Johnny Wilson. Tne middleweight champion is up against a stone wall with a whole battalion of mandates staring him in the face. In the first place he is under suspension practically every place but the Isle of Yap. Secondly, he must go through with his original plan to box Harry Greb for the middleweight championship or remain under the ban. The New York boxing commission has ordered Wilson to box Greb or stay out of the rings in New Yoflk State henceforth. This would not be so bad were it not that the New York commission has the moral and material support of every other boxing body in the country. The National Boxing Association, which has Just wound up its second annual convention in New Orfeans, had barred Wilson from boxing anywhere in its territory, which takes in practically every State where boxing is legalized with the exception of New r York, New jersey and Massachusetts. And the last two-named States already have put up the bars against the Charlestown boxer. Wilson's claim that he was forced to sign with Greb to get the $35,000 he had coming to him for boxing Bryan Downey in Jersey City last Dabor Day failed to impress the New York commission, which ruled that it had nothing to do with New Jersey and that its only duty in the matter -was to enforce the contract between Wilson and Tex Rickard. So Johnny Wilson will box Harry Greb or no one at all, unless somebody relents.

INDIAN QUINT CARDED HERE Former Carlisle Stars Coming to Play Commerce Five Next Wednesday. The Tuscarora Indians, a team of former Carlisle Indian school students, is coming to Tomlinson Hall next Wednesday evening as the opposition to the local Junior Chamber of Commerce team. The Indians are coming with a splendid record of victories over some of the best independent teams in the East and firmly believe that they will be able to maintain this record in this part of the country. Maybe they will, but past experience leads local fans to believe that they have in store for them the same kind of treatment that has been handed out to other Eastern teams who venture into Indiana. Tickets for this encounter will go on sale at Spalding's Saturday morning and will be 75 cents. ‘Fore’ Sufficient Warning CHICAGO, Jan. 19.—“ Fore” is fair warning in golf and it is up to the players to watch out when they hear it shouted, the Appellate Court decided in upholding a Circuit Court ruling that Miss Harriet Stevens could not recover damages as a result of being hit by a golf ball driven by Edwnrd Gallagher. Miss Stevens had charged assault and battery with a golf ball, but the court held that Gallagher had used due precaution in calling “Fore.” r —v Golf as Rah Rah Sport BERKELEY, Cal., Jan. 19.—Golf is to be taught at the University of California.

COLLEGE AND H. S. NET NOTES
Who wants to dope this basket-ball game? Yale defeated Colgate Wednesday night in a net contest. On the Western trip the Colgate five made a very creditable showing and in this State held Purdue to a five-point victory. Yale, on the other hand, was easy picking for almost every team played. Now Old Eli turns around and trounces Colgate. You explain it. Shortridge perked up a r bit in the Crawfordsville contest and gave the north side rooters something to root about. Riley continues to be the Shortridge hope. He is not a clever performer, but he is good because he is always trying. It surely counts to be always up and at ’em. Manual will get a chance to show if there Is much hope for the Red and White this season when it meets Huntington at the Y. M. C. “A. Saturday night. It is about a safe fyet that Harmeson will make as many as all the rest of the team. He is as good an allround athlete as the south side school has had in many a day. The Franklin-Bedford scrap at Bedford tomorrow night should be a humdinger. The southern team, under Coach Abbett, has been hitting a fast pace all season and firmly believes it can send the State champs home with a defeat to think about. Reports from Martinsville are to the effect that the high school team of that city is all set for the Tech game at Tomlinson Hall tomorrow night and wants to show the Indianapolis fans that the one-point victory over Franklin early in the season was no fluke.

Tomasello got his first experience of the ring while in the Navy, and has been boxing four years. He will meet Teddy Dixon, the Shelbyville boy, tonight in a four-round bout at the Ft. Harrison show. He is a lightweight and is anxious to meet boys of his class. Barnes Wins Tourney LOS ANGELES, Jan. 19.—The California State open golf championship was won here yesterday by James Barnes of Pelham, N. Y., with a score of 292 for 72 holes, played in a three-day tournament at the Wilshire Country Club. Eddie Loos of Pasadena, former State champion, finished second with a score of 303. For third place three players finished with tie scores of 307. They were Jock Hutchison, British open champion; Abe Espinosa of Sar. Francisco and Mortie Dutro of Pebble Beach, Cal.

CHANCE TO SEE CENTRE HEROES ‘Bo,’ ‘Red’ and Other Luminaries Coming With Colonel Basket Team. “Bo” McMilHn and “Red” Roberts, allAmerican football players, will be seen in the attire of basket-ball players when Centre College and Butler clash in the big net contest at Tomlinson Hall, Saturday. Snoddy and Flippin, two other members of the famous Kentucky eleven, are making the trip with the basket-ball team. Snoddy was given honorable mention on Walter Camp’s all-American. Just how much strength these men, as basket-ball players, add to the centre net five is unknown. In fact so little is known about the strength of the team as a whole that Coach Page, of Butler, has aptly christened it the “mystery five” of the South. The record of the Centre five last year was very impressive, but at this time they are just starting in on their net schedule for the present season and little is known of their accomplishments. Last Saturday, Transsyl vania, one of the strongest fives in Kentucky, was humbled 14 to 10, In a thrilling overtime game The presence of so many football players in the Kentucky team s line-up will bring the Pagemen up against a big weight handicap. Roberts, who plays either center or guard, weighs 220 pounds. Snoddy tips the scales at 180, as also does Flippin. Roberts is captain of the 1922 Centre eleven. Flippin and Snoddy are both guards. Joe Murphy, a veteran forward, is one of the mainstays of the team and will be expected to keep Butler guards busy at all times. He is playing his third year of varsity basket-ball. Hunter, a freshman, is also doing good work at a forward berth and will no doubt be seen in action Saturday. Football injuries have kept McMillin out of some of the early basket games and he has been acting in the capacity of coach. Whether he will be able to play, Saturday is unknown, but he is making the trip with the visitors. Butler players received some hard knocks in the Notre Dame game, but Coach Page has kept them on the jump since then in order that they may be able to put up a strong brand of ball against the Colonel invaders. Centre plays De Pauw Friday and the contest hero Saturday will afford fans an excellent opportunity to compare the two Hoosler fives.
City lads have a fine record back of them and Tech will have to step. More football players are in our midst Saturday night when Butler is host to another group of gridders performing on the court- Snoddy, “Red” Roberts, and *®° . McMillin of Centre College are the drawing cards. The Indiana Dentals get another chance tonight. Opportunity knocks but once at some doors, but with basket-ball teams she raps, in mosj, cases, a couple of times. There are usually two games scheduled. The Dents lost the first contest at North Manchester early in the season. But this is another night. There will be umpty-umpth basketball games in this State tomorrow night. A composite picture of them all would show a jumble of arms and legs, many heads sticking out, and in the midst of it all, looming large would be a referee's whistle —the ever-present, fateful whistle —the ruler <of the game. There Is one time that a man may be excused -to a certain extent for fouling. With an opponent dribbling fast for the goal and no one in front of him there are not many players losing out in the race for the .ball that will not grab on from behiud in an effort to stop the close-up shot. Holding in the rule book is interpreted as any personal contact that interferes with the free action of an opponent. A player does not actually have to be hanging on to be “holding.” What are the duties of an umpire? That is the big question. Os course it is covered in the rule book, but how many fans ever saw two umpires work the same. The referee is - supposed to follow the ball and the “ump” to watch the back field, but it is a question -whether or not the umpire could not be of much service right under the basket as a team follows up its shots as usually most fouls are made in the melee around the goals. At any rate every referee and umpire should have a thorough agreement as to jHist what they are going to do. With the umpire along the side lines at all times he Is in much better position to see outside plays many times than the referee. It Is the opinion of many that he should always call outside plays if the referee misses or gives the wrong team the ball. Some umpires stand around and watch the game. They must learu that they are officials, not spectators. Notre Dame basket-bailers will travel quite aways for a game tomorrow when they meet Creighton at Omaha, Neb. The Nebraskans will no doubt prove worthy foes, as their record for the season is good. After going so far the Irish could not be satisfied with one game, so they are going to play Saturday, also. State Normal is in action tonight against the Vincennes “Y” aggregation. If the “Y” is as good as the high school five, look out Normal. The southern Indiana city seems to be full of good net players. The Vincennes High School squad has been going great guns in the South, but has met few of the supposedly strong teams. Avery good line can be had on them when Shortridge plays at Vincennes Saturday night. Many prep teams with eyes on State honors are casting fearful glances in a Southernly direction this year. Standing room only is liable to be the word in the county high school tournament at Tomlinson Hall on Jan. $6 and 27 if the plans go through for an elimination series between the various county girls’ teams to be played as curtainraisers to the boys’ contests.

The Baptists came out of the Rose Poly fracas in fine shape.

By HENRY FARRELL. NEW YORK, Jan. 19—For some strange reason the ranking committee of the United States Lawn Tennis Association seems prejudiced against youth. Vincent Richards, the “boy wonder ot the courts,” had a regular battle for years to get proper recognition of his ability, but he succeeded in 1921 when he was placed third among the men playPerhaps little Miss Helen Wills, the 17-year-old sensation from San Francisco, will have the same experience as Richards. She at least is starting out that way. With “pig-tails” hanging down her back, a service that would do justice to a Davis cup defender and an all around game that was one of the sensations oo the East last summer, Miss Wills was rewarded by being ranked as No. 14 by the committee. Heralded as a great star, Miss Wills made her debut in the East last July in the Rhode Island State championships. Although it was her first experience on turf courts she advanced to the semifinal round where she lost to Mrs. Mirlan | Zinderstein Jessup, No. 3, on the 1921 ranking list. - Several weeks later at the Nassau Country Club tournament, she went to the fourth round of the Metropolitan championships, where she was again defeated by Mrs. Jessup in a more closely contested match at 6-3 and 6-4, Mrs. Jessup winning only through experience. At the Seabright tournament she reached the third round before being defeated by Miss Eleanor Goss, No. 5 on the 1921 list. The score was 6-2, 4-6 and 6-2, Miss Goss being pushed to the limit. At Longwood she easily defeated Miss Leslie Bancroft, No. 8 on (he list, and then she went into the girl’s championship at Forest Hills and so completely outclassed the field that there was no contest. She then returned to California and won the Pacific Coast championship, defeating Miss Helen Baker, No. 4 in 1921. When such players as Mrs. Edward Raymond, Miss Margaret Grove, Mrs. Edwin A. Falk, Miss Clare Cassel and Mrs. Robert Le Roy are ranked ahead of her on the national list, it is hard to understand how the committee arrives at its conclusions unless it works in the theory that a youngster has to prove it is no accident by doing great deeds on the courts for three or four years.

Law School Five in Two Contests This Week-end The Indiana Law Schoof basket-ball team has two games on its schedule this week-end, one to be played with Evansville College at Evansville, and the other with Oakland City College at Oakland City. According to Rothrock, who coaches and captains the team, the strongest lineup yet used will start the games. The line-up includes Linder at back guard, Ahrens at floor guard, Rothrock at center. and Seyfred, and Denny, forwards. This is tentative, however, as a number of capable substitutes will be carried, including Marine. Schaeffer, Grist, Speake and Falk. Owing to a reorganization, there are a number of vacant dates on the schedule for games to be played abroad, and teams desiring contests should write to Athletic Manager, Indiana Law School.

YANKEES SEEK MORE PLAYERS A. L. Champs Scouting for Talent to Fill Holes in Outfield. By JACK VEIOCK. NEW YORK, Jan. 19—The line-up the Y'ankees will put into the field when the 1922 season gets under way is far from settled. It is a problem that is perplexing Manager Huggins and Owners Ruppert and Huston, it became known today, for they have apparently given up all hope that Ruth or Meusel will ha available tefore May 20, when the suspension against them will terminate. u .th two big holes in the outfield defense, the Yanks must patch up the team as best they can, and if they expect to get away to a flying start ia an effort to repeat their 1921 victory they will have to have a strong punch, for there will be no less than three capable teams battling them for whatever early advantages may be won in the first month or so of the pennant race. Asa result of their problems. Colonels Ruppert and Huston are out scouting for more players. Colonel Ruppert is now in Chicago, where it is said he is trying to make a dicker of some sort with the White Sox. And Colonel Huston Is said to be on his way to the Windy City to joint Ruppert. Rumor says the Yankees are trying to land Outfielder Falk from Comiskey. But it is only rumor. It is known that the Yankee Colonels are still in hopes of grabbing Veach from Detroit, but they have not yet made the right offer to Owner Navin. The Y'anks want outfielders for another reason. Ruth, 'tis said, wants to plar first base next season and insists he be given the job. If Huggins humors the big fellow, it is plain to be seen that more fielding talent will be necessary to give the Yanks the proper balance. Seating Capacity of Wabash Gym Increased CRAWFORDSVILLB, Ind., Jan. 19 hen the Improvements now being made at the lYabash Collega gymnasium are completed the athletic department will be able to accommodate 2,500 persons.
