Indiana State School for Deaf Students Take Pari in Athletics in Big Way

GRID TEAM HAS MANY GAMES AHEAD —QUINTET OUTLOOK IS PROMISING All Signals Are Given by Hand— Players Have Developed Keen Sense of Sight—School Is Recovering From Absence of Athletics During thè War. Perhaps onl* of thè most unique and interesting schools in Indiana, when it comes to athletics, is thè State School for t'ho Deaf, located at Forty-Second St. and thè Monon Railway. Under thè name of Silent Hoosiers, thè athletic teams from this school have won manv laurels and have thè scalps of many high school teams in thè State hanging from their belts.

When one approaches a high school football grid where a squad Is working out, one hears a babel of voices, thè quarter backs barklng signals, raen calling for thè ball, coaches giving instructions or bawllng out their men. etc., but not so wlth thls equad. Seldom is an audible word spoken during thè entire practlce period. The coach ls often thè only hearing person on thè field and talks largely for his own benefit. Instruction is given almost entirely in thè elgn language. Signals are given entirely on thè hands, thè line men elther looking between their legs for thè signal or do not erouch until thè signal is given, but from there on thè working of thè team is thè same as any other team. Indiana University used a silent System of signals some years ago, Uut that System was far more compii* eated than thè one used by thè Hoosiers. Figure Plays On thè defense thè more experienced men on thè squad are almost uncanny at times in figuring out thè opponents’ play. The deaf boys seem to make up in keen perceptlon what they have lost in hearing. Hidden ball pìays are seldom successful against these players because of this. This is thè school’s flrst reai sea son in football since 1916 when it and other sports were discontinued because of thè war. The teams prlor to 1916 were thè result of a System of training which trained and seasoned thè new material up from thè prades. The lapse ossi ve years has piaceri thè school’s football destiny absolutely in thè hands of green material. with one or two exceptions The Hoosiers used to push Sheridan for honOrs in this part of thè State, an annua} game at Sheridan belng thè feature game of that school's schedule. i The athletic department ' of thè school is not confined entirely to football. At thè present time basketball is thè major sport of thè silente. During their season they hook up with some of thè best high school teams in thè State. Here again their keenness of Vision stands them in good stead, perhaps even more so than in football for in basket ball it is seldom that a predetermined play can be earried out and thè players must rely on their knowledge of thè fundamentals and tjpelr paesing. Their passwork is a feature of their games. Basket-ball at thè State institution is cne of thè flrst games that thè entering child learns. Children enter thè school at thè age of six or over and their physical training stkrts immediately so that by thè time they have grown large enough to partici oate more strenuously in thè var ous epo-ts they have had a thomugh education in thè groundwork of thè game.

Training Easy Training is an easy matter because of thè regular hours necessary at thè institution. Meals and bedtimes are regular, which ls a valuable aid in training a successful athlete. Baseball like football has euffered from thè lapse of athletic partlclpatlon and it will be some time until thè school ls able to put a team in thè fleld that can come up to thè standard of thè teams which used to represent thè school some years ago. Athletics at thè school are under thè direction of Arthur G. Norris as athletic director and head "coach, and Arthur H. Norris as facqlty supervieor and asslstant coach. Not a great deal Is expeeted of thè team this season on account of thè green material and it is upon basket-ball that thè school’s supporters pii; their hopes, for a number of last year's regulars are left in school and should make quite a showing. The Hoosiers basket-ball schedule for thè coming season is as follows: Dee. 16. open; Jan. 6. West Newton H. S.. away; Jan. 6, Indiana Central College, home: Jan. 13, open: Jan. 19, open; J*n. 20, Fairland H. S., home; Jan. 27, Flshers H.

PLAYING OF POSI SEASON GAMES IS AIREB AGAIN Club Owners May Fight It Because Big Stars Have Disappointed Fans. By United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 20.—Sentlment ainong thè major league club owners against post season barnstorming may result In positive legislation against this practlce at thè winter meetings. The magnatesi have always taker, thè stand that thè game and thè players themselves derive no credit from unsupervlsed playing aster thè dose of thè season and some stories coming to their ears this fall support their contention. Reports of major leaguers playing against amateurs have come to thè attention of Commissloner Landia and it ls understood that he is making an investigatlon. Several teams with prominent major leaguers have been beaten in thè last week by colored seml-pro teams and thè showing made by thè big league stars was sald not to be flrst class. Gave Them Chance Under thè stress of publlc sympathy aroused for Babe Ruth and both Meusels last sprfng, thè bars again3t barnstorming by members of pennant winning teams were lowered to thè extent of giving them a chance to pick up some easy money lf they secured thè permision of their club owners and thè commlssioner. Players on other than Champion teams were also allowed thè sanie privilege. The club owners figure that thè result hàs been unsattsfactory and that thè only thing to do to prevent discredit on thè game ls to stop all ktnds of barnstorming In thè future. There has been no hint of scandal in any of thè activities of thè players. Objectlon of thè officiala of thè game has been aroused because thè players have not been giving thè exhlbitions that thè publlc expeets of major league players. Want Kelly The stove league ls now engaged in ficklng a new manager for thè Washington Senators and thè Boston Red Box. Clark e Orlffith has annouced he would llke to have Mike Kelly, St. Paul’* pennant winner manager, take hold of thè Senators. but Kelly had r.ot reached a deciston. Because Harry Frazee and Frank Chance were aeen with their heads together during thè World Reries, it was reported that thè former leader of thè Chicago Cube was going back into thè managerlal game. Frazee says there is nothing to it and Chance said if he gets back into baseball it will be as a club owner. 'df Roper Gets Beating By Times Special NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 2ff—Jeff Smith defeated Capt.
