Barnyard Golfers Groom Shoes for National Tourney in Florida Next Month

SIX ONCE-CHAMPIONS HA VE ENTERED MEET—WILL BE HELD WEEK OF FEB. 19

Youthful Titleholder Will Strive to Retain It—St. Petersburg Will Be Scene of Action —Many Prizes Offered. By BILLY EVANS BASEBALL had its big thrill in 1922 tvlien the New York Giants and Yankees met in the world series. Golf had many a classic during 1922. The world series of tennis was staged when the United States again proved its superiority in the Davis eup competition. While “barnyard golf,’’ which is merely a high-toned name for plain horseshoes, may not combine all the thrills of other sports, yet it is the first sport to each year stage its big event.

The world series of "barnyard golf” Is scheduled for the week of Feb. 19 at St. Petersburg, Fla. Offer Big Prize List Prizes aggregating $5,000 will be distributed among the winners in both the divisions for men and women. Believe me, some of the women throw a mean horseshoe. Like real golf, titles don't last very long in barnyard species. Seven national tournaments have been held in five years, four at St. Petersburg and one each at Akron. Minneapolis and Des Moines. It is a rather interesting fact that no national champ has been able to repeat. Frank Lundin, the present champ, and the youngest to ever hold the title, is confident that he will break all precedent at the St. Petersburg tourney and win the national honors twice in succession. Six Champions Entered Frank Jackson of Kellerton, lowa, has twice held the honor. Other national champs have been Fred Brust of Columbus, George May of Akron, Ohio, Charley Bobbitt of Lancaster, Ohio, and C. C. Davis of Columbus. It is practically certain that every champion who has ever held the “barnyard" golf’ title will be present at the St. Petersburg tourney. That means the cream of the talent will fight for the honor of winning the championship of the coming event. It is really remarkable the accuracy that is maintained by the champion horseshoe pitchers In their big matches. Every one of the champions averages better than one ringer out of every two pitches, when at the top of their game. What say? Other Friday Bouts AT OMAHA —Billy Miske. St. Paul, knocked out Harry Foley, Hot Springs, in the first round. AT NEW YORK —Jack Renault. Canada, knocked out Joe McCann, Newark. N. J-, in the fifth round. Tarzan Larkin knocked out Jack Douglas in the fourth round. AT JERSEY CITY —Willie Curry outpointed Young Tiger in twelve rounds.

ANDERSON HIGH VICTOR IN FAST CONTEST FRIDAY

Bloomington Five Falls Before Onslaught of Coach Stagg’s Five.

By Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Jan. 13. Coach Stagg's crack Anderson High School basket-ball team continued its victory march here last night by walloping the Bloomington High team in a furiously fought contest, 32 to 28. Tired from their battle with Marion Wednesday the Green and Red fighters staged a wonderful comback in the last half and nosed out the down-State school. Bloomington was without the services of Krueger, star forward, who was injured in the Martinsville game. At one time Anderson trailed Bloomington 25 to 20 in the last half, but they staged a pretty rally and forged ahead. Beatty, an Anderson sub, got in the game in the last few minutes of the last half and caged two pretty field goals. The superior team play of the Anderson team was evident throughout the game.

The team returned from Lafayette, where it met Purdue Friday night, with its fourth Big Ten victory packed away in blue and white ribbons. Butler knocked off the Boilermakers, 43 to 20. How's that? More than doubled the score! Coach Page’s crew trimmed Wisconsin, Chicago, Illinois and Purdue. Scoring four Western Conference victories is no easy task. It is quite a feat. *Butler has every reason to feel elated. Seven Goals by Leslie I.eslie and Hooker had an “on" night. Also Griggs. Leslie and Hooker, the “blaze aways,” scored twenty-six points between them —six more than Purdue’s total. Leslie got seven field goals and Hooker six. Hal Griggs also had a large evening. In fact, Hal was the high point man of the game with five field goals and seven from the foul line. The Butler foul thrower dropped In seven out of eight on free throws. His point total was seventeen. The contest was witnessed by a packed house and there was no lacit of action. Butler started right after the Big Ten boys and had a hug© lead of 24 to 11 at the half. Purdue had the lead only once, which was shortly after the first tip-off. After Butler got out in front it remained there and kept piling up points. Lots of Purdue Misses Purdue got through the Butler dedense better in the second half. but could not hit the basket right. The Indianapolis team snared all kinds of shots —long, medium and short. Middleswortli and Colway, Butler guards, were ruled out on personals in the second half. Their defensive work in the opening period was sensational and Purdue got only about eight shots at the basket in that half.

Manual has worked hard for the Franklin contest* and the Red and White has a hunch it’s going to spill a little dope. Glazier, especially, has been displaying brilliant basket shooting. The undefeated Elwood squad is a big favorite over Shortridge, but the north side lads are not going to be easily whipped. Their confidence has gone, up since they turned back Tech and they are in fighting mood for the Elwood game.

Frankfort owes Its margin of victory to the sensational play of Pogue at back guard and the brillia'nt shooting of Cummins, sophmore center, who rang up six field goals as the game neared its close. He also tossed in the same number of foul goals in the last period. Lebanon at one time in the final twenty minutes was leading 24 to 21.

The winning basket was tossed in the last minute of play by Captain Harlow of the Buckeye five. The first half was slow with neither team being able to collect any points. The score was a tie, at C sill. In the last period things pepped up and Tech spurted out in front with a good lead. In the first ten minutes the Green and White had hung up an 18 to 10 lead.

CBOILUYIS Copyright NEA fiervice isl? Bilt9 Evans NO. 12: THE GREATEST P INCH-HITTING I EVER SAW

HEN a manager makes substitutions in his lineup, he is always tempting fate. If his changes work out properly, and play a part. In winning the ball game, he is labeled

a wise guy. If his pinch hitters or pitchers fail to deliver and the game is lost, then he Is classed as a dub. It Is simply a gamble, which the second guesser can always pick to pieces. I have seen many a ball game broken up through a swat by some pinch hitter. I have seen many a pinch hitter take up a tense situation and get away with it. Likewise, I have seen a great many more pinch hitters and pitchers “flivver” than those who come through. However, during tho first seriek at Philadelphia last year between the Athletics and Detroit, I saw pinch batters on three sucessive days come through and save the day. When a manager makes si bstitutlons he dopes out what batter or pitcher has the boat chance to come through, and then sits tight on his judgment. In one game, with the Athletics leading, 5 to 2 in the first half of the ninth, with two on the bases. Cobb sent Clarke In to pinch hit. He hit the first ball pitched for a h.;me run, tying up the game. It ended In a tie. The next day Veach was sent in as pinch hitter, drew a base on balls

basket. Devol, the Lebanon flash, was stopped in the last period. No matter how he pivoted and twisted and turned for shots Pogue’s long arms were always waving in front of him. Frankfort has improved since the start of the season and no one has improved more than Pogue the big back guard. At the start of the season he was good, but a bit awkward. In Friday night’s fray he showed himself one of the best high school guards In Indiana. That Is not idle praise. Not satisfied with great defensive playing he added the offensive drive that dis-

Introducing Ragnar Omtvedt, holder of the national and Canadian ski jumping championships. Indianapolis fans know little of this thrilling sport, but it is popular, nevertheless, in the hilly snow sections. Omtvedt is said to be the most sensational ski jumper of any age, and if that claim be true, he certainly must breeze through the high spots. He will meet all challengers in a ski tourney at Grand Beach, Mich., Sunday. When a ski jumper leaves the take-off he is up where the airplanes soar and he must be a real master of the sport to escape hard falls when he finally comes to earth and skims over the snow. At a recent meet held in the north 10.000 people were present to enjoy the thrills and a crowd of that proportion is expected at the Grand Beach tourney. Omtvedt will have keen competition Sunday ns the event has attracted a heavy entry of jumpers.

It is an immeasurable advantage to a team in a tight game to have such a help on the attack. Many times it is the deciding factor. Cummins at center is another reason for Frankfort’s claims to high honrs. He is a player that is liable to let down and not go his best, but Friday when his team was behind he just could not. bear the sight of that score and let loose with such supreme endeavors that there was

FIERCESTRREGLE ON PROGRAM AT TOMLINSON RAIL

Wabash College Netters Tangle With Fast Omar Team—College Feuds Renewed. Following a. rather disastrous road trip on which they lost to the Dayton Deleos Tuesday night and to the Ft. Wayne K. of C.s Thursday night, 25 to 15, the Omars were hack in town today ready for their game with the powerful Wabash quintette at Tomlinson Hall tonight. The two defeats the Omars suffered on the road trip were their first of the season, and came totally unexpected to them, as they had figured Wabash to be by far their hardest contest of the week. The Delco game was lost with a weakened lineup, but the local independents were in foil force at Ft. Wayne and will marshall their strong's! line-nj; again Saturday night for the Little Giants. Vollmer in Game Vollnier, the ex-Chicago University star, has won his spurs with the local team, and will most likely be in the line-up against the Scarlet. He played at Dayton and Ft. Wayne and in each game made a good showing. He is tall, fast and has a keen basket eye and probably will he used at center. Local fans will remember him as one of the Chicago Maroons who played the Omars here early in the season and lost. Vollmer was a teammate of Hinkle while at Chicago. Candy Miller and Don White, both opponents of Wabash, when they were with Purdue, will be in the game for the Omars, as will Moffett, the ex-De Pauw star, who used to make matters merry for the Scarlet. This trio would like nothing better than to score a decisive triumph over Wabash, and memories of hardfought games back in their college days will send them onto the court with a desire to take the measure of the Little Giants. Wabash also will have a trio of players in the game who have mixed freely with the former Purdue and De Pauw stars. Goldsberry Adam and Grater are veterans of many hard games and their appearance on the floor assures one of the fiercest struggles of the season.

MAT SPORT IN GGLLEGES NEEDS UNIFORM RRLFS

Present Codes Differ and Wrestlers Frequently Handicapped by Changes. Ry PAUL PREHN, Wrestling Coach, Illinois University. The crying need of oollege wrestling today is a codification of the rules. At present we have the rules of the National A. A. U., the Central A. A. U., the Western Intercollegiate, and the Pacific A. A. U. These codes differ in such respects as the length of time of bouts, holds allowed, and the system of scoring points. This makes for difficulty when officials who have worked under one system are called upon to officiate in another section of the country. Disadvantages on Mat At the same time it is a disadvantage for any meet In which men trained in one section would be obliged to meet wrestlers from another. Representatives from the various associations should meet and agree upon a uniform code Just as is done In football. To date college wrestling has not been financially profitable to athletic associations. But this is also true of practically all other minor sports. The rapid growth of college wrestling is shown by the increase in the number of students who are taking it up. Three years ago the University of Illinois had a very small class of men who were interested enough to turn out for the team and wrestling classes. One small mat In a corner of the gymnasium sufficed. Each year the number increased until it was necessary to add assistant coaches to handle the overflowing classes. We were lucky to have these coaches available in the fouryear course in athletic coaching—students who had taken wrestling and were able to instruct. Interest Is Widespread Last fall more than 500 men enrolled. Although this enrollment Is larger than is ordinarily the case In most universities, there has been a national Increase in interest in wrestling and many universities, colleges and high schools are adding wrestling to their athletic program. Wrestling, as taught in the various schools, is not for the purpose of developing professionals.

a crack at the heavyweight title. Next to them sat Tommy Gibbons, who could hardly be kept from jumping into the ring. Johnson beat Brennan beyond all doubt, but in doing it he showed Ihat if there is any one thing he should not do, it is to think coo much about Jack Dempsey. Because he failed to knock out the old Chicago “war horse” is nothing against Johnson, but because he failed to show some finish is something, for he is being built up for a crack , at the heavyweight title next summer. ' Big Gate The garden was packed with a crowd of 13,254 fans, who paid $52,380. It was a good crowd in many ways, as It spared the boys the torrent of the razz that is usually showered for such performances. “Ten cents a dozen” was hurled down through the smoke from the gallery several times, but the bugs didn't get real mad. There was nothing worth relating about the fight part of it. Johnson hit Brennan every time he tried with a nice looking left hand, but liis right hand was awfully wild. He used an uppercut effectively several time* when he caught Brennan coming in. but in general his right arm might as well have been strapped down to his side. Brennan was In good shape, but was slower than he ever was and was 50 per cent worse than when he made his last appearance against Dempsey. He tired fast after the ninth round and in the fifteenth he looked to be groggy when Johnson flew around the ring all over him in a “Jersey finish” for the decision. Brennan was cut up a little bit around the mouth and eyes and he hated the jabs that Johnson gave him in the body during the late rounds of the bout. At no time, however, was he in danger. Considering that he has been through only nine “set-up” touts and a that he has been at it only a couple of years. Johnson made a fine showing in beating a smart old battler. However, he is several years away from Dempsey.

FACULTY ATHLETIC CONTROL UOGED

Wesleyan Professor Speaks Before College Convention. By Vnited Press CHICAGO, Jan. 13.—Elimination of the evils of college athletics can only be gained through faculty control of all sports. Dean F. W. Nicholson. of Wesleyan University declared before the Association of American Colleges convention here. “Contol of athletics either by the alumni or the student body is laughable,” Nicholson asserted. “The worst rystem is that in which the students are the leaders. “The under graduates have no regard for anything, but to produce a winning team. Professionalism, gambling and other vices thrive understudent control while academic standing becomes a matter of secondpry importance. “With the alumni the situation ts slightly improved as the result of experience, but alumni after all are only former students and are inclined to see the students view rather tb*n that of the faculty. “The director of athletics should be a member of the faculty. He should have complete control of all sports and should pick the coaches and trainers. Expenses of all teams should be paid from college funds and all receipts should go to the college.” CRAWFORDSVILLE STRONG IN SHORTRIDGE GAME Montgomery Connty Fltc Rolls Up a Decisive Score.
