The half ended 14 to S In favor of the winners, but in the second half the Hoosiers came back strong and several time? came within one point of tieing the score. Morwltz was the Hoosier star, caging six field markers. Speaking of small floors —the time is not far off when the high school with a small and inadequate floor will be unable to schedule games with teams of any standing at all. Cumberland High handed Cathedral a defeat last night at the Hoosier A. C., 24 to 21. Cumberland led at the half, 12 to 7, and increased its lead in the next period. The Irish made a game comeback in the last minutes of the last half, but the winners had piled up such a lead that they were able to come within only three points of winning.

Butler Turns Now to Wabash Invasion on Saturday Night Ifs Going to Be Battle When Rival Net Fives Clash Here. Another act in the State college title basket-ball show is drawing near. It will be staged at Hall Saturday night and the principals will be those well-known performers the Wabash Scarleteers and the Butler Bulldogs. Although it 1b pretty evident that the claim of any title contender is going to be mighty unsteady this season the thing is rapidly coming to a head and Saturday's game is one of the four remaining battles that will figure in the determination of the champion. IndlanaPurduo Saturday and the De PauwButler and Wabash-Purdue games early in March are the other engagements upon which will rest the result of one of the weirdest basket-ball races ever staged in Indiana. Butler was victorious in the previous meeting between the two teams, humbling the Scarlet by a score of 31 to 26. This victory is counting for nothing, however, when the two teams line up Saturday, and many are picking the Little Giants to come out ahead. It is useless to try and compare the two quintettes via the dope route, but, far easier to just say that they are evenly matched and let it go at that. Coach Vaughan of Wabash has not been satisfied with the w’ork of his team in recent games and it is likely that a different combination will start Saturday. Burdette and I’eare. were rushed in to the De Pauw fracas and in addition to Peare shooting the winning goals, the two men between them counted eight of Wabash's fourteen field goals. One or both of them may start in the Butler game. Page’s Butler team started off on the wrong foot this week and lost to Franklin. Griggs is still out of the Butler line-up, but may be able to play Saturday. It was his work that Jerked the other Wabash game out of the fire for Butler and he is one of the strongest offensive players on the team. Other members of the team are in good condition and the Butler line-up can be guessed at with some degree of accuracy. Hooker and Brown or Griggs, forwards; Leslie, center, and Middlesworth and Jones, guards, represent. Pages most likely starting combination. West Virginia Five Almost Sure to Be in College Meet Here West Virginia University is out with ell its strength for the honor of representing that section of the country in the first annual intercollegiate basket-ball tournament to be held In Indianapolis, Ma'ch 9, 10, 11. according to word received by Floyd Chafee, secretary of tho tournament committee of the Junior Chamber of Commerce. By disposing of West Virginia Wesleyan Colege several nights ago the Mountaineers practically clinched the State title and are now out after the scalps of the Pennsylvania triumvirate, Carnegie Tech, Pittsburgh and Washlngton-Jeffer-son. Pitt has one victory to its credit over West Virginia, but since then has been defeated by teams that fell easy victims to the powerful Mountaineer five, and West Virginia, according to word received by Secretary Chafee. is preparing to square accounts and make the Indianapolis trip a certainty when the two teams clash next week. The Indianapolis tournament has aroused the greatest interest in West Virginia and Pennsylvania circles and has added intense interest to the final battles for the title among the colleges of those States.

Bonds and Huff of South Bend were next uest with 1,03 L Kelvle also was high in the Rotary singles, marking up 669 for his three games, while Major Neville of Hammond got second honors with 563. Rasmussen posted a mark of 24 in his third game in the Elks’ League after two very ordinary counts in the first two frames. Peachey got a peachy score of 256 in his first frame for high honors of the night, and then stubbed his toe, counting 135 and 155 in his last two tries. In the American Club loop the Independents took two out of three from the Stripes and the Stars made it two out of three iu their setto with the Eagles. The Wolves were too fierce for the Tigers In the First Baptist League, taking two after dropping the first game, and the Bearcats took the first two fr\u the Lions. In the Stutz League the Chassis, Bearcats, Roadsters and Sixteen Valves were victory over the Coupes, Four Passengers, Four Cylinders and Six Passengers, respectively. Parcel Checks. Transportation, Trainmasters and Car Service were winners over Valuation, Engineers, General Office and Executives in the I. U. Railway League. SMITH CLIMBS IN PIN MEET CHICAGO, Feb. 23 Leaders In the world’s championship bowling tournament here, so far as the first three positions are concerned, are unchanged as tiie result of last night’s games. Jimmy Blouin still holds first place with Phil Wolf in second and Mort Lindsey of Stambord, Conn., in third. Blouin’s lead was reduced to a very narrow margin, however, when Jimmy Smith of Milwaukee, took five straight games from him last night. The victory advanced Smith to fourth place. Three More Important Games on Purdue Cart LAFAYETTE, Ind., Feb. 23.—Coach Lambert had to curtail his week of hard practice on account of the weather man. Wednesday it became so warm that the Purdue coach sent his squad through only a basket shooting practice. The squad is in good shape for the remaining three games on the schedule. A victory over Indiana and Illinois will give Purdue the championship of the Conference while a victory over the Wabash team will give the Boilermakers the best hold to the State title. Indiana comes hero Saturday night, Wabash plays Purdue here March 1 and Illinois winds up the sea-on here March 7.

ALL SET FOR MONDAY BOUTS Griffiths, Downey and Other Principals Train Carefully for Progress Show. With the forfeits of both boxers posted with the officials of the Progress Athletic Club there is little chance that either Johnny Griffiths or Anthony Downey will disappoint by failure to appear. Understanding this the contest at Tomlinson Hall Monday night is a sure go. "Just the minute the articles were signed by Biddy Bishop, manager for Downey, he sent the club $250 to guarantee weight and appearance and the very next day the forfeit of Griffiths’ was received from Tommy Walsh guaranteeing the appearance and weight for Griffiths," said Tom Dillon, manager for the club, today. Frequently when boxers have uo forfeits posted they are apt to disappoint the club managers, but not so with Downey and Griffiths. Their money Is in the hands of the club and there can l>e no backing down now. Concellation of the match by either would mean forfeiture of the full amount, $250. Both Downey and Griffiths are In the very midst of their training, the former in Cincinnati and the latter in Chicago, and both are reported to be in excellent shape. Downey does a lot of boxing while training he makes things merry for hlg boxing partners, but he Is not half so rough as Griffiths, who it is reported is in the habit of knockirg out nls sparring mates with regularity. There is a lot of talk about the contest and while there are many who feel that Griffiths is too much' for the younger brother of Bryan Downey, many also believe that Downey has Just os good a chance to win as the more seasoned veteran. In fact it is about a toss-up. Downey has equally as many supporters u<s Griffiths. It looks to the majority like a pretty evenly matched pair.

AMERICA MAY OBTAIN GAMES French Said to Be About Ready to Give Up Olympic Plans. NEW YORK. Feb. 23.—America Ul]| has a chance to land the Olympic gameA In 1924. M Paris was selected to entertain the world’s athletes, but tho French committee is about to give up the job. Trouble in getting aid from the government and the municipality of Paris in providing a site for the games and the necessary fund of 10,000,000 francs led to the announcement that France will give up the project if the cabinet council does not act on an appropriation bill to be presented shortly. Doubt has been expressed that the French government would be making a wise political move In appropriating a large sum of money for the games when the claim is being made that the nation is unable to meet war obligations. If France gives up the games It will Just about let Europe out of it as England is the only other ow_iry across the water in a position -to build a stadium and conduct Ine games in first class fashion. England, however, is taking a cool attitude toward the next games. Not only do the athletic leaders of Britain oppose the role of host, but some serious doubts are entertained now that the British will have a team at the next meeting. _ Los Angeles, It is understood, is still willing to make good its offer to stage the games as they never have been staged before. Chicago also could provide fine f rounds if the new city stadium is nished by that time. He’d Put Coach in Stand NEW HAVEN Feb. 23.—Placing the coach in the grandstand and allowing the captain and his men to run the game on the field is the solution of the footba.l coaching problem suggested by Prof. C. W. Mendell, chairman of the Yele athletic board. Mendell said that paid coaches should not be abolished. i
