Seventy-Three Shortridge High School Grid Athletes Answer 1922 Call of Football Coach

What Shortridge lacks in numbers the boys make up In “pep.” The first high school football team ever formed In Indiana was at Shortridge when that school was known as the Indianapolis High School and at that time was the only high school In the city. That was more than thirty years ago. During those years football at the Blue and White school has had many ups and downs. At one time Shortridge had teams that all critics admitted were the champions of the prep schools of eight states. These teams even defeated many of the best college teams. Then came the years when all athletics in

The new head football coach at Indiana University will be Pat Herron, former Pittsburgh University star end, and not Howard Buck of Wisconsin. After all plans had been completed for Buck to go to Bloomington to handle the Crimson squad M iring Jumbo Stiehm's absence. Buck found himself unable to get away from a number of coaching contracts in the Badger State and he was forced to decline the Indiana job. When Buck notified the State university authorities Wednesday afternoon of his inability to get away, the athletic board of control and committee of alumni nurriedly called a meeting and appointed Herron. A third assistant coach will he named later to aid in developing the Crimson back field if Herron desires one. Warner Recommends Herron was strongly recommended by Glenn Warner, head coach at Pittsburgh and a man of high ranking in football circles. The new mentor was second allAmerican choice for end in 1913 and 1916. He is expected to reach Bloomington tonight and to take charge of the opening practice Friday. He has assisted Warner at Pittsburgh the last two years and will introduce the Warner system at Bloomington, a system that has been a winner. The Warner style is a combination of eastern and western football, and great stress is placed on "football brains.” His teams always have been great defensive machines, not only in the line, but in the back field. Hard tackling is a feature of his tactics. His teams usually have been of the foxy type, quick to size up an opposing team’s attacks and quick to realize weaknesses in opponents’ defense. AMERICANS WIN Polo Team Defeats Irish In Fast Match. By United low PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 14.—The Orange County polo team, an American club, completely outclassed the invading all-Ireland team in the first match Wednesday of the ten-day series of international matches at the Philadelphia Country ' Club. Although allIreland was compelled to give the Americans a handicap of four goals, showing how highly the visitors were regarded before the match, the Americans won 12 to 6. C. C. Rumsey accounted for four of the American goals. Harriman, at forward, scored three, and even Belmont, the American back, scored three.

the Indianapolis Jiigh schools were barred. A few years ago football came back in the three city high schools. Since then Shortridge has played both good and poor football. Coach Gorton played the gridiron sport at Rutgers and later coached there. He teaches the eastern style of play, which emphasizes the line. Gorton has material for one of the best lines ever developed at any high school if weight counts. He has six husky athletes weighing close to the 185-pound mark who, if they play the game like they make a good showing in every charged against the charging ma-

BASEBALL COMMENT, GOSSIP Giants Lead by Five Games and Yanks by Game and One-Half In Majors—Rookie Platers Shine For Indians. By EDDIE ASH The big league situation sported a decided New York complexion this morning as a result of the outcomo of the Wednesday struggles. The Giants added one more victor > to their end of t he-season winning streak and today were riding five games ahead of tin* hustling Pirates. The Buccaneers won a pai( Wednesday and gained one-half game, but the fact that tlie McGraw clan also won prevented the McKechnio crew making much of a dent in the Giants’ lead. In the American the Yankess split a twin tiill with the White Sox. but the crippled Browns j lost to the tail-end Red Sox and were a game and one-half behind this ' morning.

Kid Gleason sent his two aces, Faber and Robertson, in against the Yankees and Faber delivered, but the Yanks made the loss up in the second fracas of the afternoon when Hoyt outpitched Robbie. In the meantime the Red Sox used “Two Gun” Collins, former Yankee, against the Browns, and he turned the Mound City crew back. Two rookies went big with the Indians at Columbus Wednesday and the Indians downed the Senators, 9 to 1. Fitzsimmons of Muskegon was on the mound and turned in his second victory since he donned a Hoosier uniform. Hamel, the outfielder, obtained from Muskegon along with Fitzsimmons, got a home run, triple, double and single. How's that for clouting the ball? Introduction of young blood will do the Tr.be some good, say the fans, and they are pointing to the work of Fitz anti Hamel to bear out their opinions. It is almost certain now that a few of the Washington Park vets will he missing next spring when the 1923 bell rings. In add.tion to looking like a capable twlrler Fitzsimmons also totes a real hat and Wednesday lie got a single and double. The Tribesmen were to close at Columbus today, after which they will hike for Kansas City. Efforts to get out of playing today's contest failed. The leading Saints decided the K. C. Blues were becoming too ambitious and the Kelley crew pepped up for the day and downed the men of Good twice. Both teams hit hard. Brief hit. his thirty-sixth home run and Becker stretched his consecutive game, hititng to thirty-three.

Shortridge students depend this year. Spencer Myers, last year’s guard, and one of the best on the 1921 team, showed well in the first work-out. Campbell, a 190 pound man, with plenty of height, is playing his first year at the Blue and White school, and he should land a tackle or a guard position. Zaizer, tackle, appeared to have plenty of speed in the charging practice, and he has weight. Hidenrick, guard, and Hoatson, tackle, will prove good line material. Unversaw, a 187-pound athlete, is the type of player who would fie in well at guard. Stubbs

Mayer might be used at end. Carl Wood and Leland Wood, both of last year’s team, are ends. The boys are no relation, but both play the same position in football. Stillwell is a back field man who might be used at end, but to shift him would hurt, as his toe is the one that boots fifty-yard punts for the Blue and White. In the back field Coach Gorton

has Henderson, who played halfback at the Horace Mann High School in New Y'ork City last season. He is tall and fast, but not unusually heavy. Andregg and Cumiriings are other new back field candidates. Smith and Franklin of the 1921 Shortridge second team should go strong in half back positions this year. Abe Tatcher, who played part of the games at quarter back for Shortridge a year ago, is in great shape. He has been camping this summer and is in good training for the opening of the gridiron season. Stillwell could be tried at quarter.

Meeker is a half of whom the coach expects much. Sahakian, half at Jasper, Ind., high school last year, is on the Shortridge squad this season. The Shortridge football schedule is complete. All the games played in Indianapolis will be played at the Butler College athletic field. The schedule follows: Oct. 6, Elwood at Elwood; Oct. 13, Jefferson High School of Lafayette, at Indianapolis; Oct. 20, Brazil at Indianapolis; Oct. 27, Richmond at Indianapolis; Nov. 3, Manual Training High School; Nov. 17, Technical High School, and Nov. 24, Cathedral.

Little Bill won by default when Howard Kinsey, the Californian, retired at the end of their third set, owing to painful raw blisters on hla racket hand. In the feature match of the day William T. Tilden dropped out Pat O’Hara Wood of the Australian Davis cup team, 6-2, 6-3, 6-2. Gerald Patterson had a furious time conquering Francis T. Hunter, the man who surprisingly eliminated him from the Seabright tournament more than a month ago. but he came through to do it in a test of endurance and courage. 8-6, 6-1, 7-5. R. N. Williams eliminated Elliott H. Binzen. 6-0, 6-2, 6-1. Robert Kinsey, brother of Howard, likewise won one set. the third, in his match with Anderson, but was set aside finally, 6-3. 2-6, 6-1. Vincent Richards won from Herbert L. Bowman, 6-2, 6-3. 6-3. Watson Washburn, former Davis cup star, carried Manuel Alonso to ( five sets before giving up his ambi- * tion for this season’s championship. The score was 6-3, 3-6, 7-9, 8-6. 6-4. The matches were watched by fully 10,000 spectators. Richards, the youngster, meets the test of his life Thursday when ho plays Anderson, the tall, sinewy Australian.
