Lafayette Boosters Said to Have Part in Dietz Troubles Townspeople Thought They Saw Chance to Aid Purdue Football, Reports State. LAFAYBfTE, Ind., Jan. 21—Overzealous townspeople who desired to help get Purdue out of the football rut are said to have been behind Former Coach Dietz in his alleged connection with searching for gridiron talent among the ranks of star prep athletes of the Northwest. It Is common gossip In this college town that business men and alumni had raised a fund of something like $12,- ■ OCR) to be used. According to local belief this practice has been done, and is being dobe In many other cities, and especially in 'places where the larger universities are located. The business men, being ardent gridiron fans, thought they were doing the university a service, but a big mistake was made when Coach Dietz was permitted to dabble in any negatiations Richard Hanley, who played under Dietz when the latter was coach in the Northwest, and who afterward was a member ’ of the Mare Island Marines in 1918, with i Dietz as the coach, was the Purdue meni tor’s agent in the Northwest. I Negotiations had been started to bring Hanley to Purdue as an assistant to Dietz Hanley was willing, and. accord- ; ing to Dietz, stated he could bring some promising timber with him. Although Dietz absolutely denies he made any personal offers of aid, he does admit he corresponded with Hanley relative to the prep school possibilities. It is unfortunate for Dietz that he allowed his name to be brought into the dealings, as he will be the one to suffer. The Indian mentor has been popular with students, alumni, and townspeople, all of whom wanted the authorities to give him a chance to build up and make good. That the townspeople were behind him. is shown by the large fund raised, and the support they Intended to give him.

Weaver is understood to, have denied any part in the alleged conspiracy and to huve set up the plea that he was “made the goat” though innocent of wrongdoing.

Former Catchers Lead in Holding Down Managerial Jobs in Major Leagues NEW YORK, Jan. a.—Youngsters who want to stay In the game after their baseball legs give out should go to cinching. It seems from figures that the wise old backstops have the beat chance of remaining In the game at big money i after their field days nr* over. | One half of the major league manager* i are old catchers and practically every one ! of them have teams up In the races In both leagues. The National League leßds with six managers who have served behind tho bat. I’at Moran, manager of tho Reds, i has two pennants and a wortd's ehamI pionship to his credit. Branch Rickey had the runner up last year and the prosi pectlvo dark horse of 1922. George Glb- ; mm failed to win a pennnnt last season, ■ but was prevented only when hie team j collapsed In the stretch with the flag almost cinched. Fre.d Mltche’.l made a suci cess of the Braves and put the National League on the map in Boston. Bill Klllefer. star catcher of tho Cubs, is the only playing manager among the receivers. He started In mid-season last year after Johnny Evers resigned and he did as well with tho club as could be expected. Uncle Wilbert Robinson is another good example of the snccess achieved by former catchers. Brooklyn j swears by him and he Is one of the most | popular and most able managers In tho I game. Only two managers in the American j League can trace their career back to j the mask arid big glove days. Connie Muck, veteran manager of the Athletics, is tho denn of them all. The lean leader of the Philadelphia Americans used to lie tho king of them all, but he has been in the dumps for six years. Lee Fohl, who has built up a pennant contender for tho St. Louis Browns, is the only ot her former catcher handling a club In Ban Johnson’s circuit.

Dietz Says He Merely Asked Friend to Try to Scout Up Talent

LAFAYETTE, Ind., Jan. a.—The Exponent, the official publication of Purdue University, planned to use in today's issue the following statement by William H. (Lone Star) Dietz as bis answer to charges made against him regarding hig alleged efforts to induce athletes to come to Purdue for a financial consideration: “I desire to correct the statement in the press that I made a confession to the charges preferred against me by the University of Washington, relative to improper conduct toward high school athletes of tho Northwest, It having been stated that alleged "confession” was made before Acting President Marshall of Purdue, Athletic Director Kellogg and Professor Moran. “What I did ‘confess to’ was having sent telegrams to Dick Hanley at Pendleton, Ore., and having haa correspondence with him relative to scouting sos football material among the high schools In his territory. I ‘confessed’ also that I wired Hanley SIOO from Lodi, Wis , for traveling expenses. The bank at Everett, Wash., to which the money was wired, refused to give it to him, giving at s reason that the Wisconsin bank from where I had sent it, had not used th banker code. "Apparently the bank at Everett notified the University of Washington. I received the SIOO back Thursday of this week. I never sent one George Wilson or Williams, as reported, SIOO or any other amount, nor did I have anything to do with sending any money to him or any other athlete. "When 1 had the first meeting with the faculty committee there was no definite information as to what the charges of the University of Washington were, other than that I had requested Hanley to do some scouting, which I did 'confess' to. “I maintained then and still maintain that I broke no Conference rules when I did that. My contract for coaching ut Purdue expired Nov. 20. I had no connection with Purdue, as was evidenced by the fact that at the coaches’ conference in New York in December Director Kellogg und not I represented Purdue. I was at that time considering propositions from other colleges aud I had not definitely made up my mind what I was to do. The faculty committee has verified that In the press dispatches. I never approached by wire, word of mouth or letter any young men as charged by the University of Washington. “I never authorized Dick Hanley to offer any athlete SIOO a month or any other salary. When President Marshall read me a telegram from the University of Washington that they had a copy of a letter written by Hanley to his brother: also copies of telegrams to athletes, 1 could not deny it although I had nv knowledge of It. Last night’s press dispatches state Hanley denies ever having made any such offers. I am inclined to take Hanley’s word for it. “I suggested at my last meeting with the faculty committee that if these charges or the University of Washington wore going to embarrass Purdue University, I would be willing to accept a/ once an offer from another college. Naturally, I saw no reason why this matter waa to be released to the preas.” •

In the final scheduled game of the tourney, Schafer scored his 400 points whil eHoppe made but 26 this game, threw the two stars in a tie for the title. In the playoff they decided to play 500 points and Schafer again showed himself the master of Hoppe by beating him 500 to 346. Like his father, who also reached the top rung in championship billiards, young Jake has perfected the art and in the minds of many who have followed the game, he looks to hold the title for years to come. Shafer Is but 26 years of age and by a system of daily exercise keeps himself in perfect condition physically. Iq Conti, local fans will see the greatest that France has to offer and the only player In the recent Chicago tournament who gained a victory over young Juke. Conti also ran Becond high in single averages of the meet which showed him having scored 400 points at an average of 80 to the inning. Conti Is but 20 years of age ami has made a wonderful impression In this country In the short time that he has been here by his marvelous manipulation of the Ivory balls.
