PRO COACH IS TRYING TO PUT OTHERS IN BAD Not Satisfied With Aiding One Rumpus, He Threatens More Trouble. ATTACKS THE BIG TEN TAYLORVILLE, 111., Feb. 2.—Grover Hoover, coach of the Taylorville professional football team In the game at Carlinville, Nov. 27, today made sweeping charges of professionalism against prominent Big Ten Conference athletes. He charged in a series of questions to coaches and athletic directors that Gordon Locke, full back, and Aubrey Devine, quarter back, all-American football stars of the lowa team, played professional baseball; that Illinois athletes played profesßoin.il baseball against them and therefore couldn't “squeal;” that several Wisconsin football stars are professional ball players, that Knute ltockne, Notre Dame coach, knew two days after the Taylor-vllle-Carlinville game that his men had played; that Michigan and Ohio State have professional stars. Hoover coached the team which played against Carlinville on Nov. 27, as a result of which seventeen athletes have been barred by the athletic authorities of Notre Dame and the University of Illinois. Hoover struck a blow at several colleges when he charged that the practice Df one college “stealing'’ high school athRockne Denies Charges That He Knew of Game SOUTH BEND, Ind., Feb. 2.—“ Absolutely untrue," was the reply today of Knute K. Rockne, Notre Dame coaeh, to charges of Grover Hoover, coach of the Taylorville (111.) football team that hockne knew two days after the widely heralded Carlinville-Taylorville game, Nov. 27 last, that eight of his men had taken part in the contest and bad “kidded” them about their defeat. The Notre Dame athletic board was to Beet late today to hear the report of Investigator William Farrell, who has returned from Carlinville with first-hand Information. letes from another was common in the Middle West. “How did Michigan at; tract the Workman brothers, Iloge ana Noel from West Virginia, and how did Ohio State steal them right from under Yost's nose?” Hoover hj „. ar ! Michigan alumni ali over the Middle west bragging nLout how they stole Herb ■ ger, the Oak Park star, from Illinois and Chicago?** •‘Can Locke clear himself of playing professional baseball at Garden City • Hoover asked. , T “Illinois didn’t protest against I.ocke and Devine because their own skirts weren't clean. I “No protest was made against isconsln football stars who played professional baseball.

In case they want to play more college football they can go to Washington and Jefferson. Colgate, Syracuse. Pittsburgh or any number of other Eastern schools." , Hoover said he raised sufficient money •nd made arrangements for the Illinois players within an hour after he heard that Carlinville had loaded up with Notre Dame men. “We had to do It,” he said. “Every one In Taylorville had everything thev owned mortgaged to bet on the game. 1 never saw so much money before outside of a bank." Basket-ball Too Strenuous for High School Girls DES MOINES, lowa. Feb. 2.—Basketball, as the sole athletic endeavor of the high school girl, is receiving a rebuff at the hands of Miss Sara Given of the wornmen's physical education department of Drake University. Miss Given, while contending that basket-ball, If played In moderation, helps to build up the physical woman, claims that the sport. If played to excess and without variation with other milder athletic work, is harmful to the growing girl. The assertion Is based upon the theory that basket-ball is a violent sport tending to Impair heart action In younger girls. Miss Given says the heart cannot ordinarily adapt itself to such an unusual and sudden requirement as basket bull presents when not preceded by milder forms of physical endeavor.

CHUCK ROUNDS INTO SHAPE It was a busy afternoon at the Chuck Wiggins training quarters Wednesday as the big fellow went through a stiff routine of training for his match before the Elks’ Club at Tomlinson Hall Monday night. The local light heavyweight worked before a big audience Wednesday and he went through a full program. First he skipped the rope, then shadow boxed, pulled at the weights and then took on three sparring partners for three rounds each. Patsy McMahon was his first opponent and Patsy did well against the’ light heavy. He gave Chuck just the right kind of a workout for speed and boxing Next came Tommy McDuff, whom Wiggins treated kindly because of Tommy's light weight. In a finishing skirmish, however. Chuck cut loose to some extent with Greek Brown and the spectators saw plenty of action. Wiggins ajtpears to be in fine trim and apparently means to go his best before the home city folks Monday. His left shoulder bothers him to some extent, but he believes he will be able to work the ailment out with a couple of more days’ training. TALKING THROUGH HIS HAT. NEW YORK, Feb. 2. —Freddie Welsh, former world's lightweight boxing champion, may challenge the winner of the Johnny Dundee-Joe Benjamin bout in Madison Square Garden tomorrow. The former king of the lightweights admits he has been bitten by the “comeback” bug. Welsh has been working out with Bocky Kansas, who is preparing for a bout with Benny Leonard, and has impressed his friends as well as himself with his skill and stamina. “I’m thinking seriously of It,” Welsh admitted today. “Leach Cross came back and made a lot of the present dav boxers look foolish, I’ve taken better care of myself and I was always better than Leachie.’ COMMISSION MEETS TONIGHT.

NEWS OF THE DAY IN

NEWS AND NOTES OF COLLEGE AND H. S. BASKET ACTIVITIES

Records was the big hero In the Franklin victory over Wabash Tuesday. The “dribbling fool” of the Baptists got six baskets from the field in the hardest kind of going. He tipped the last goal In from the foul line on a held ball. At another time he slapped the ball In under the basket and floored Goldsberry at the same time. Hostilities were narrowly averted between “Goldie” and Bobbie. Reports from Franklin High School are to the effect that the recent beating by Bedford has done the team lots of good. It takes a beating once in a while to keep a five on edge. Coach Wagner told his players a few things after the Bedford disaster and the squad has “come out of It” in great shape. The champs looked good in their last games. The Butier-De I’aiiw contest here Saturday night is attracting a great deal of attention all over the State. Those who think that the Methodists will have things much their own way had better think again. The Uagemen are exceptionally good on the Tomlinson Hall floor and no doubt will put up one of their good exhibitions against the Old Gold teum. The contest promises to be a thriller. Vincennes is still stepping in the southern part of the State. The "Alices" have won twenty-three straight games 'n the season's play so far, but there are some tough games ahead. Tomorrow night at Bedford the Vincennes five will have to prove its mettle against Coach Abbett’s squad. Bed for 1 was defeated by the far South team earlier in the season, but it was at a time some of Abbett's players were not in shape. Look out, Vincennes! Look out, Bedford! Frankfort will get a chance for revenge on Tipton in a tilt at Frankfort Saturday. Kokomo redeemed its defeat at Tipton by winning at home last Friday. Frankfort, though defeated at Tipton, hopes to duplicate the stunt of Kokomo. A team can’t win them all, but after winning seventeen in a row, Tipton finds it hard to take the short et and of a score. The Indiana IT. five is on an invasions of the North. The Crimson team plays the Marquette team tonight. On Saturday 1. U. plays Minnesota in a return game. The Gophers won a threepoint victory at Bloomington and reign favorites. The Northerners are setting a fast clip and the men of Lewis'must penetrate the defense that has held all opponents so far this season. Five games are on the right side of the ledger for Minnesota in the Big Ten trace. Illinois cannot be considered as dangerous in the Conference net race now Bince Walquist is out of it as one of the gridders mixed up in the CarlinvilleTaylorville affair. It means clearer sailing for Minnesota as two games with the Suckers remain to be played. As the schedule new stands it looks as though Indiana. lowa or Wisconsin have the best chance to stop the Gophers. The present Big Ten leaders, however, have defeated all of these teams once. Although an athletic clean up is not amiss, the motives actuating some of the investigations leave a rather bad taste in the mouth. The purity spasm is on in full force, but the cleaning up of collegiate sport seems in some cases Just another method of getting something , “on” a hated rival. That nine-game schedule of Purdue's that a short time ago looked like a hindrance to the Boilermakers' championship aspirations now looks like a blessing Every game with Don White in the lineup looked like a victory, every game withc/ut him, doubtful. Still, those who are inclined to count Purdue out of the running on the strength of White's disqualification might do well to look closely at what is left In the Lafayette stronghold. To begin with there's Piggy Lambert, one of the best basket ball teachers in the country. Then Ray Miller, all-Sfnte and all-Con-ference hack guard, and last, but not least, comes Gullion, sophomore center, who looks as though he may cut & mighty big swathe In the Conference circuit before the season Is over. No. keep right on winning, Minnesota, the chances are you’ll need every victory you can get. De Pauw took the loss of CannoD pretty hard, b'ut last night Bills, his successor. scored eleven points Llgbtbody. Detroit back guard, was dizzy watching De Pauw throw T in the baskets last night. Centre Is going to lose a lot of her glory. When little towns like Taylorville and Carlinville can turn out such powerful college teams, the Centre achievement does not look so big after aIL Elmore of Shortridge has packed his grip and grabbed a car for Wabash College, where he has matriculated for the coming semester He will try his fling at the net game under Pete Vaughan's wing. The ill-fated Shortridge quintette faces two games this week-end, Martinsville, Friday, at Martinsville, and Wiley of Terre Haute. In the local gym Saturday. Os the Martinsville fracus. nothing more need be said, but the Wiley game Saturday night may turn out a little different, as Wiley High is the Shortridge of Terre Haute. Two victories by Indiana colleges over Michigan teams last night give more room for boasting about Hoosier basketball. Hooker was the “big noise” for

Young Wolcott and Jack Brooks, both colored, will meet in the main go. Other matches are expected to present the usual thrills. Kay Walsh nas been substituted for Sidney Glick to meet Tony Dalton. Glick has had the grip and is still weak. He will not be able to resume training for two or more weeks. Walsh has been working out daily and is expected to give Dalton a stiff bout. The first bout will start at 8:30 o’clock. Five bouts are carded. BOXERS BUMP HEADS. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2.—Lew Tender, Philadelphia lightweight, and Mel Coogan of Brooklyn bumped heads with such force last night in the first round of a scheduled eight round bout, that the fight was stopped, the referee declaring that Coogan was too badly hurt to continue. It was declared no contest. One minute after the opening of the bout, Tendler led with a left, and in trying to sidestep it Coogan ran into him. The Brooklyn boxer’s head was badly cut and Teudier was severely shaken up. MEEHAN HITS REFEREE. SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 2.—Willie Meehan, San Francisco heavyweight boxer who once won a decision over Jack Dempsey, was booked at police headquarters here after he had swapped punches with Referee Adolph Schaoht. who had just awarded a bout to Meehan’s opponent, Floyd Johnson. Chief of Police Searing, who was at the ringside, took Meehan to headquarters, where lie was released on condition that he leave town a tonce. GREB BEATS WALKER. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Feb. 2.

What Cobb Says DETROIT, Feb. 2.—“ We will worry any team in the American League if 1 can get some fairly good fielding at second and short.” Ty Cobb, manager of the Detroit Tigers, wired the International News Service today from his home in Augusta, (la., in reply to a telegram asking about Bengal prospects for 1922. “The Tigers should finish fifth and have a good chance for fourth or third position," Cobb added.

MICHIGAN FIVES TAKE BEATINGS Butler Trims Kalamazoo, While I)e Pauw Attends to Detroit Junior College. Michigan was the State to take a whirl at Indiana college basket-ball last night, and suffered the usual disastrous results. Butler carried the fight into the enetn's territory and down Kalamazoo on the foreign court, 27 to 38, while De Pauw repulsed an luvaslon t>v Detroit Junior College with a 40 to 18 score. The ability of Butler forwards to hit the basket from all angles, coupled with airtight work by the Blue and White defense, proved too much for Kalamazoo, and the Michigan five was outclassed at ail times Hooker and Leslie, with six and four field goals, respe. lively, led tile attack of the i’agemen, while Griggs contributed five points from the foul line and one field goal, Jones and t'olway formed a defensive combination that Kalamazoo found difficult to penetrate and the Michigan scores were made from distant parts of tlie floor. Miller, at forward, with six free throws and one from the field, was high point man for file Deers • Jill, floor guard, played a strong defensive game and counted three timet from the fleid. Butler plays the South Ben-! ‘Y” in that city tonight. Mendenhall and White formed an offensive combination for De l’auw that Detroit was powerless to stop und with seven and six field goals respectively, these two men, practically alone, put the Invaders to rout. The Detroit defense was especially weak and De Pauw counted at will from under the basket and out on the court. Bills, De Pauw forward, also played a strong game and boosted the Old Gold score with five foul tosses end throe two-pointers. The result at Greeneastle was never in doubt from the first whistle and De Pauw ran up the count so fast (hat at half time was leading 23 to 6. The visitors were unable to hit the basket with consistency and many easy chances to boost their total were tossed away. Lightbody with six foul and one field goal and Bind with three from the field were best for Detroit. OREENCASTLH. Ind., Feb. 2—Following its easy victory over the Detroit Junior College five last night, the De Pauw squad took a light workout today in preparation for the clash with Eariham at Richmond, Friday. De Pauw defeated Eariham here in th- first game of (he Tiger court season by a 19 to 83 score, but the count is expected to be much closer in the return game. What is expected to be the hardest fray of the week for the Tigers will be played in Tomlinson Hall, Indianapolis, at 8 o’clock, Saturday night, when the Old Gold men face the Butler quintet. This will lip the first of the two contests to he played between the two teams ‘his season. If Butler wins the tilt, that school will have a claim to the State championship and De Pauw will be practically stricken from the list of possibilities for the honors. Butler will appear here on March 3. Thinly clads of the Tiger institution may have to elect anew captain for the coming season.

He's been working for $20,000 a year, but he wasn't so good when he signed the parchment three yenrs ago. Those who like to speculate about “Inside matters” predict that the American League champions will have to go all (he way from $50,000 to $75,000 to get the swat king on a long contract. Both the Giants and Yanks have some little negotiating getting their regulars on contracts. The champion clubs of both major leagues are receiving signed cont raots in every mall, but the names of the regulars are not conspicuous, while the rookies are making a dash to get In and cinch a chance for what many think will be another slice of the championship spoils. No other bad case of “holditis” are expected by the major league clubs, since Commissioner Landis issued the decree that holding out would be regarded as an offense serious enough for a penalty (f being placed'on the ineligible list. l’erhnps the Yankees will have more to go through In getting their club on paper than any others on the big time.

London Loses Its Desire to See Jack and Georges Battle Fans Would Like to See Dempsey Work, but Not on * Carpi’ Again. By JACK M'AULIFFE. LONDON, Feb. 2 British fight fans aren’t as enthusiastic about another Dempsey-Carpentier fight as reports from the States seem to indicate. From talk heard about all the popular gathering places the Londoners are anxious to see the world’s champion, but they do not want to watch him work on Carpentier again. As far as Dempsey and Carpentier are concerned, it Is generally believed here that the question of superiority was decisively settled in Jersey City last July nnd the movies which were shown over the islands convinced those who were skeptical over the cabled reports. Any attempt to get the world's champion and the tltleholder of Europe together again in a London ring would be regarded as savoring too much of the commercial and the high prices that would be necessary for such a bill would not prove popular.
