beat the colleges like they did the high schools.” But there Is just the shadow of a doubt in many minds. There's a difference between the college and prep net game and Franklin must show that it can stand the gaff. No two forwards ever worked together better than Vandiver and Gant. They are the best that Indiana basket-ball could develop In the prep ranks. Both were all-State men on practically every 'selection

Left to Right, Top Row—C. B. Stemen, coach: Elmer Cozad, forward; Walter Nevious, substitute; Wilber Petrie,,center; A. W. Suter, trainer. Middle Row Harry Pearman, substitute; William Newell, forward: <’. E. Byers, principal; Baltzer Neuer, substitute; Horace Pastor, guard. Bottom Row—Floyd Baker, substitute; Clum Bucher, guard; Emmet Cozad, substitute. Followers of the Huntington High School team believe It has one of the best squads in the history of the school. That it has a strong claim to the net honors in the northeastern part of the State is generally’ admitted The squad has annexed the big majority of early season contests, and numbers among its victims such outstanding teams as J fferson of Lafayette, Kokomo, Logansport and Marion. It lost to Marion by only 3 points on the Marion floor and lost to Anderson by 1 point in a sensational game.

last year. They'll be at their old stuff Friday. They are smooth, clever and heady, with “Deadeye Dick” eyes for the hoop. Friddle, the younger brother, will start at center. Ballard, the fourth member of the champs, playing his first year of college ball, will probably start at floor guard. The other Friddle, captain of the team, will be at back guard. It Is a great combination, but It has not been tested under heavy fire.

Butler looks better than last season. Leslie and Hooker seem to be In top form. At the start of the season Hooker did not look eo good, and those who are free with their predictions said Orville w’as In for a bad year. He has certainly fooled the wise ones and is playing a brand of basket-ball hard to beat. Leslie Is the same rugged, hardfighting player, Invaluable at getting the tip-off from center. He is strong and hard to stop. Griggs, the man

NEW PLAYERS IN FRfITERNALLOHP Teams Strengthen as Schedule Starts Again Tonight. The Fraternal League resumes its schedule tonight and a number of new players will be seen In action. The Grotto five has added Niehaus and Bilger. The Gun Club In Miller and Bertolz, picked up two veterans who know the game. The Square and Comj pass five has annexed Hansen. RosenI tiel. and Beam. The Compass five with the addition of these men looks dangerous as the team was strong before the strengthening process. Art Link, the new' DeMolay athletic chairman, has not been asleep on the job and although his team is leading the league he has acquired some new materia!. Greenburg, the lanky Tech center, played his first game against the “Y” Leaders. Paul Chapman and Cottrel are other new piay’ers. The Grotto meets the Gun Club in the first game tonight and the Square and Compass five clashes with the DeMolays. WEST SIDE S. S.

Frank Royso Wednesday was elected captain of the Cathedral High School team. He has played floor guard two seasons. Cathedral meets the Rushville High School five Friday In a game here and the locals have been taking strenuous practice sessions. Dickie, back guard, baa returned to the squad after having been out with injuries-

on springs, gets over the floor with a dash that carries him far, and his follow-in shots under the basket count many points. He is jumping well at center. Wally Middlesworth ought to play at Illinois every game. Last season he held Carney to nothing and this year when Pat "sicked” him on Stllwell, the lanky Illinl center, said Mr. Stilwell left the game without scoring a basket. It will probably be Wally’s Job to look after Vandiver and that tow-

gMMatM|HERE is no more difficult Job In ' pitcher in some tense situation. with the Chicago White Sox, goes the honor of staging the greatest bit of relief pitching I have ever seen. It was in the spring of 1913, if my memory serves me correctly. The White Sox were playing the Browns at St. Louis. I was the umpire. The game had been close all the way. In the ninth the Browns Ailed the bases with no one out. Walsh, who had done very little pitching up to that time because of trouble with his arm, was rushed to the rescue. All Walsh did was retire the side

GUI FIS LOSE IN STATE GAMES Huntington and New Market Teams Score Wins. Two of the city's leading independent basket-ball teams Journeyed out of town Wednesday night and bumped into stiff opposition. At Huntington the Indianapolis Km-Roes clashed with the Huntington Legion five and when the final whistle sounded the upstate lads were out in front, 31 to 20. It was an Interesting game and well fought. The Indianapolis "Y” Leaders stepped over to New Market and tangled with the Independents of that place. There the ”Y" boys met a surprise. New Market trotted a line-up out on the floor that consisted of well-

headed guard loves nothing better than such a job. Colway or Nipper at the other guard rounds out a team that seems to have found itself early in the season. There are many who would like to see Bobbie Records In the game for Franklin and more than likely he will get In there sometime. If he does the Records-Middlesworth feud will be lesumed where It left off last year. It’s about a draw so far. It’s a hard game to make a pre-

'on ten pitched balls. Every ball he threw was a deceptive spltter. The three batters who faced him swung wildly at seven of the pitches and missed, two strikes I called, and the other pitch I ruled a ball. It was the greatest bit of plncn pitching I have ever seen. It would be hard to figure a tougher situation, also difficult to imagine a pitcher erasing it completely on ten pitched balls, without permitting so much as even a foul. Recently T was talking that game over with Walsh. He told me that It was the last real pitching he ever did. That .supreme effort seemed to snap what was left of his once great arm. Not only was It the best bit of I>inch pitching thatl ever say, but it also marked the end of a great pitcher’s career. Next: The freakiest home run I ever saw.

diction on—but this can be said: Butler has had severe tests this season and has come through in fine style. The team is composed of veterans. Franklin has a wonderful array of young talent not as yet seasoned in college warfare. Whether the drive and experience of the Irvington team and the advantage of playing at Tomlinson Hall will be too much for the cleverness and skill of Franklin cannot be known until Friday. *
