Vincennes Again Setting Fast Pace for High School Net Teams of State

ALICES DEFEAT AIL COUS IN EARLY CONTESTS Southern Five Looms Strong by Victories Over Many of Best Squads. GREAT RECORD HUNG UP

Coach Adams’ Outfit Has Lost Only One Game in Last Two Years. By GEORGE W. PURCELL Written (or the United Press VINCENNES. Ind., Jan. 2.—Can Vincennes High School repeat the great basket '<all record which it hung up in Indiana State athletic annals last season? Coaches and fan3 last season de * dared it was a record never to be beaten. So far as the number of games is concerned, it will not, (or the Vincennes team this season has lopped off one-third of last season’s schedule, which probably accounted for the defeat of the Green and White aggregation a the State tourney last year. Under the tutelage of Coach John Adams, the team has gone through fifty-one games In the two seasons and has dropped just one game—that to Bloomington in the State tourney last March. The Alices wen thirty-eight games that season and lost the thirty-ninth. This year saw Adams lose what Was generally considered the backbone of his offense. "Red” Wampler, the 125pound forward who last year alone came within four points of registering as many points as was scored on Vin cennes in the thirty-nine games, was lost. Hoffman, the running guard, and Theobald, the star center, were graduated. Around Jones, the Gimbelist winner of last year, and this year's captain, and Johnny Wolfe, the fast forward, Adams has built a team which so far this season appears to be equally as fast and well balanced as last year's five. Jones Is Mainstay Jones has developed wonderfully. A giant in stature, he is making a whirlwind floor man and lends absolute confidence to the youngsters whom I Adams has to use as the balance of L the team. A tower of strength on the 1 defense, Jones is also an offensive ' player. His dribbles have won games and he can be depended upon to make goals when defeat loomsCritics of Vincennes complained last year that Vincennes' schedule did not list the strongest teams in the State. This criticism would not hold water for Vincennes twice defeated Bloomington, Martinsville, Bedford, Columbus and Garfield of the strongest State contenders. This year it was easier for Adams to schedule strong teams. To date tae Alices have faced Anderson, LebASon, Bedford, Martinsville, Franklin, Columbus and Jefferson of Lafayette. All these teams have been taken Into camp. All victories have been on the Vincennes floor with the exception of a double defeat registered against Columbus. January and February will ■ee the Alices on the road, with return games with each of the above save Jefferson, two games with Bloomingf<Jn and a game with Technical of Indianapolis, two with Evansville and one with Wiley of Terre Haute. ’'The best thing that could happen "Vincennes would be several defeats on her home floor—that was the reason she was defeated last year.” This is the statement being made by outside coaches, referees, and sport writers. Adams does not believe this. Overconfidence never seized a Vincennes team during any stage of the strenuous season last year—never has it this.

KEELER’S DEATH REMOVES GREAT HITTER QF PAST ‘Wee Willie’ Was Small, but Mighty—Brought PlaceHitting Into Game.

By United Xetei NEW YORK, Jan.<. —"Wee Willie” Keeler, the famous old-time outfielder of the Baltimore Orioles. Brooklyn .Superhas and New York Highlanders, ‘ied at his home in Brooklyn on New dear's Day at the age of 50. Heart .allure and pulmonary trouble caused his death. Keeler was the man who first adopted a system of "hittin' ’em where hey ain’t" and it vasWie who wined that picturesque phra* to account for his prodigious feat of hitting safely in forty-one consecutive games while with Baltimore. Keeler's greatest batting average for a season was .432. Wee Willie was a member of the Orioles in the time of John McGraw, who played third base: Hughey Jennings, who was the shortstop, and Wilbert Robinson, then a catcher. Joe Kelly and Brodie were the "wee one s” fellow laborers in the outfield and Ned Hanlon was skipper of the club. When Hanlon became manager of the Superbas, he took Keeier with him to Brooklyn, where Willie had first felt the feel of a ball in his hands on the sand lots of Flatbush. Later Keeler jumped to the Highlanders when the American League was organized, being lured to the right side of the stream by Clarke Griffith. It was Keeler’s tiny physique which compelled him to Invent the art >f placement hitting which has since become one of the very rudiments of batting.

#SUi.IMYES Wy BAM.MU xjovwp-rr cf ocevici Dy E)ILLJ A-ZArL'.^) NO. 3: GREATEST ROOKIE PITCHING I EVER SAW

HAVE seen a number of recruit pitchers work creditable games in their first start as major leaguers. I have seen a great many more “flivver” badly their

first time out In the big show. The odds are always against the recruit. Therefore, it is a rather easy matter for me to pick out the greatest game 1 ever saw a recruit pitcher work in the majors. That honor goes to Charlie Robertson of the Chicago White Sox, who, in the spring of 1922, shut out the Detroit Club without a hit. More remarkable yet, not a batsman reached first base. A number of things tended to make this performance on the part of Robertson all the more remarkable. In the first place, It was made against a team generally regarded as one of the hardest hitting aggregations in the history of the sport. Last season the Detroit Club

POLICE SEEOED AT E3E3 SCRAP Cops Rescue Roper in Grudge Fight at Pittsburgh. By United Xevi PITTSBURGH, Jan. 2. Harry Greb, American light heavyweight champion, Monday defeated Bob Roper for the second time in less than two months. The fight nearly ended in a riot. Both men refused to stop at the end of the ninth and tenth rounds and police were called to rescue Roper from the “human windmill.” The bout was clearly a grudge battle. Greh and Roper handed out terrific punches, most of which landed on Jock Hennlr.per. the referee, who was badly buttered when the final bell rang. Neither man was ku<>. .1 down, but the unanimous verdict was that Greb won every round after the second. The first and second rounds were considered even by the experts.

led the American League teams in batting by a comfortable margin. In the second place, the feat was performed under rather annoying conditions, that might have sent a less game youngster Into the air. In the first four Innings the Tigers hit a half-dozen balls hard, but directly at some fielder. Then the Tigers began to complain Robertson was doctoring the ball. During the last five innings the game was constantly delayed because of the objections of the Detroit players to the manner in which Robertson's fast ball was acting. They also asserted Robertson was using some forlegn substance to discolor the ball. Through it all Robertson worked after the manner of a veteran and turned in a game that will go down in baseball history as a supreme pitching effort. Addle Joss and Cy Young are the only two other American League pitchers who ever accompbshed such a feat. Next: The most unlquie play I ever saw.

Row Precedes California Victory Over Penn State. By United .Vric* PASADENA, Cal.. Jan. t.—The stone wall line and the brilliant backs of University of Southern California’s Ttojans turned back Penn State New Year's day and won by 14 to 3, the West's only victory of the three big post-season intersections! games. Although scheduled to start at 2:15, ihe game did not actually start until :?, and thereby hangs the tale of a near-fight between Coaches Bezdek and Henderson. Bezdek’s men showed up a half hour late and Henderson, whose team was waiting in the dressing rooms, charged that Bezdek had no less a purpose chan keeping the temperamental Trojans on edge and diminishing their nervous energy. Bezdek was wroth at this claim, but a fight was averted by bystanders It was said a traffic jam caused the delay. The game was witnessed by about 50,000 fans. Playing on a wet field. Baker, Galloway and Campbell went through and around the Penn State line almost, at will during the second period, after the Nittany Ikons had shown signs of lieing the winning team in the first. Penn showed sadly the loss of Bedcnk. the great guard. Chet Dolley, regular U. H. C. quarter back, played but a part of the game. Galloway, his substitute, shone brilliantly, however, until he was forced out of the game by injury. The U. 9. C. touchdowns were made In | the second and third periods.
