Wrestling Game Is Staging Big Come-Back as Major College Sport

GRIDIRON COACHES SEE MAT ACTIVITIES .45 HELP TO TOE ARTISTS Paul Prehn, Illinois Mentor, Declares Entry of Brains Into Sport Will Make It Very Popular. Wrestling is staging a remarkable come baek as a collegiate sport. The man boat quaJinrd to tell about it is Haul Prehn. coach of the University of Illinois wrestling trim, which has lost only one out of fifteen dual meets since Prehn took charge three years ago. Prehn hirasell won the middleweight championship at the inter-_• died games m Paris in 1 till), and is prominent contender for the middleweight championship of the world. By PAUL PREHN r\ TIRING the last ten years professional wrestling has not been f extremely popular because of the fact that some wrestlers have been corrupted by gamblers. But this condition, as a rule, does not exist today and men of finer standards and better education are entering the game with beneficial results to the sport. The illiterate wrestler of the past is being displaced by the scientific mat artist of the present, and the game of mere brute

etr.-ngth is rapidly disappearing. Vrestling is now a scientific study. T 1 a old rough-and-tumble wrestlers have practically vanished and men have both speed and science have taken their place. Definite principles of leverage are applied to all the holds o' the modern wrestler. Intelligence Needed Strength is still valuable, but mere brute force will not overcome the scientific expert. The scientific improvement of the last few years is phenomenal, but is due to the superior group of men who are studying the game with the idea of making it more valuable to those interested in sports. The result is that large universities are. realizing its value in conditioning men for other sports. It proves useful particularly in lootball, even assisting coaches to develop players of only fair ability into stars. The case of Jim McMillen, captainelect of the University of Illinois football -earn for 1323, is well worth citing. McMillen was selected on Billy Evans’ national honor roll as one of the best guards in the United States this season, although he was unheard of in 1221. Proves Apt Pupil At the close of his first season on the football squad he took up wrestling under the advice of Bob Zuppke. Illinois’ famous football coach. McMillen took to wrestling like a duck to the water and won the heavyweight championship of the conference. When he reported for football last fall Zuppke says he was a different man. His speed had improved, he could drive through the line faster, and most important of ail, could keep his balance. For developing there is no other sport like wrestling. It requires speed, uses every muscle, teaches a man poise and self-command, and him aggressive as no other sport will, a fact coaches the country over are beginning to realize. Next: Coach Preirn will discuss “The Crying Need of College Wrestling.”

By Times Special LAFAYETTE, Ind., Jan. s.—The r.et fans who have waited so long to get a glimpse of the Purdue basketball team will be rewarded for their patience tonight when the Boilermakers meet the Rose Engineers at the local college gym. Although the Purdue five has not yet played there has been plenty of competition in scrimmage as Lambert has been working the squad hard and gradually building the team up toward the opening of the Big Ten season with Northwestern, Which is yet ten days away. Important State games are on the card however. Notre Dame plays here on Tuesday, Jan. 9 and BurJer appears on Friday. Jan. 12. The make-up of the five seems to be Capt. Masters and Eversman, forwards: Gullion, center: Robbins or Holwarda. floor guard; Treat or Wellrun n back guard. These seven players are the ones who will doubtless carry the hopes of the Boilermakers this reason in the Western Conference net race. Y. P. C.

ALL LOCAL HIGH FIVES IN ACTION OVER WEEK-END

Rushville-Cathedral Here To-night-Manual at Anderson— Tech-Shortridge Saturday. All of the local high schools are busy on the btisket court this weekend. Cathedral and Manual meet strong opposition tonight and Shortridge and Tech stage a little civil war on Saturday night at Tomlinson Hall in the second of the intra-city contests. While Manual is away on a trip, Cathedral will use the south side gym tonight in a tilt with the Rushville five. While Cathedral has not met much strong opposition, tho team looks as though it might have the point-getting ability of a good prep outfit. Manual has one of the toughest foes in Indiana to stack up against at Anderson tonight and follows it up with a game with Valley Mills there on Saturday. The Red and White will have to travel fast in these tilts. Coach Jones has been working tho squad hard and the players used in previous games seem to be the logical starters- Martin and Glazier, forwards; Higgs or Howard, center, and Floyd and Kichman, guards, seems to be the best combination. The Tech squad, having practiced under much secrecy lately, will come out of retirement Saturday at Tomlin- 1 son hall to meet their old rivals. Shortndge. The Tech starting line- . .- vr.v uncertain. The Green and White team should lino up something ti ilite and Rabe, forwards; Jessup, center; Clift, floor guard, and Jolly or Unger, back guard. This combination is not certain by <tny j means, as Black may have a surprise in store. Manual defeated Shortridge. so the east aiders are anxious for a victory in order to meet Manual on Jan. 20 on even terms as far as ■ the city competition goes. The Shortridge team will go into action against Tech with about the j same personnel that went down before Manual in the first city contest. Sherman will start at center in place of Hart, who will probably be shifted to forward. Easy for (ireenleaf Bv I nit 'ii I‘ress CHICAGO.

Others get mighty peevish. A fe\v take the situation good-natured-ly, accepting it as a part of the game, knowing that in the end the breaks are about fifty-fifty. Eddie Cillins is one of those chaps who ftgur ethere is a reason for everything. When Collins slumps, he accepts Ills temporay failure to hit as part of tho game. He goes about his work in his usual business-like manenr. Asa rule, failure to hit causes most players to slump ina 1! departments of the game, but not Collins. Several years ago Collins was in a batting slump that befalls a player eevry so often. He seemed to be hitting the ball pretty well, but couldn’t get it safe. Always, it seemed, the drive would go directly into the hands of some waiting fielderInstead of getting discouraged, Collins accepted the break with a smile, yet kept on trying to get back into his stride. With two down in the ninth inning of the game I have in mind. Collins) came to tin* bat with the Sox a run be- j hind.

He hit the first ball itched into the right field bleachers at Chicago. The fact that Collins Is anything but a home-run hitter made the feat all the more unusual. The Sox won out in
