Donovan’s Death Casts Gloom Over Winter Gathering of Baseball Leaders

THREE-YEAR RULE JOKER IN FRESHMEN CONCESSION Small Colleges Win Fight for Yearlings on Teams —lndiana Central and Central Normal New Members, It is the consensus of opinion that the Indiana Intercollegiate Conference, in its annual meeting here Saturday, did a wise thing in removing the restrictions on ten of the smaller colleges and permitting them to play their freshmen on varsity teams. It is also felt that the method used in allowing the schools to petition for this right and have the request voted on by the Conference was the fairest possible method of determining those which should be exempt.

There is no doubt that some of the small schools were handicapped by the rule and had no business trying to emulate the big fellows. It showed a good spirit among the larger schools to allow the others the concession. But as yet everything is not as lovely as it seems. Three Tears Only Under the Indiana Intercollegiate constitution there is a clause which says an athlete may play only three years. Such being the case those athletes who play their freshmen year will be ineligible in their senior year. In some schools, such as the various normal Institutions, this will not be felt as the students are largely transitory, but in other schools it would work a hardship. This angle of the situation probably will have to be ironed out later, but it is not very c 1 >ar what could be done about it. And another thing—although a team may be allowed to use its freshmen, other schools would not have 10 play against these freshmen if they did not want to. They would not have to play them because there is nothing that compels a school to schedule games with any other institution. The Freshman Rule For instance, take the case of Earlham, one of the schools allowed to play its freshmen by the vote of the meeting Saturday. A number of the members of the Conference voted against this. Those who voted against permitting freshmen were in most cases those teams which meet Earlham each year. Those who voted to allow the freshmen to play were some of the real small ones who were returning the favor of Earlham's vote for them, and the big schools which are not on Earlham's schedule. Those schools which think they are being discriminated against can easilv get around the situation by leaving off of their schedule rivals strengthened by the addition of freshmen players. This may never happen, but it is merely mentioned as a possibility, and it has much ground to stand on. The schools which will be permitted to use freshmen following the ratification by the various faculty athletic committees of the action taken Saturday are as follows: Earlham. Hanover, Muncie Normal. Huntington College, Evansville College, Central Normal, Indiana Central College, Oakland City, Manchester and N. A. O. U. College. Two New Members Two new members were admitted to the Conference, one of them an Indianapolis school, Indiana Central College, which Is situated at Univresity Heights. Central Normal of Danville also Is a member. Twenty-one institutions compose the Conference at present. The officers elected for the coming year are: CSarl Wischmeyer of Rose Poly, who automatically follows the retiring president, N. A. Kellogg of Purdue; H. M. Gelston of Butler, rice president, and F. H. Weng of State Normal, secretary-treasurer.

TUNNEYANDGREB MIX IN FEATURE NEW YORK SCRAP Carpentier Challenges Winner of Tonight’s Clash —Action Is Promised. By HENRY FARRELL, United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Deo. 10.—Gene Tunney and Harry Greb. the “you be a while and then I'll be” champion of the light heavyhelght class, are to mingle again tonight in Madison Square Garden. Tunney. the handsome Greenwich villager, is current champion and Greb, the flying Dutchman from Pittsburgh, is the middleweight champion. Tex Rickard received a cable today from Georges Carpentier asking that he be matched to meet the winner in February. Tunney will make a lot of Christmas money for the boys If he comes through, as the bulk of cash around New York has been deposited on the former marine. Greb's established knack of making the best look bad. has prevented the offering of any fat odds against him. If Tunney goes after Greb and carries a real offensive he should win. as Greb has not been taking care of himself and even if it has not shown up on him yet, it is certain he can't go on forever without training.

TOMMY GIBBONS MAKES HIT WITH CITY RING FANS Heavyweight Challenger Performs Here in Fistic Act — Says Firpo Is Clown,

Fight Card Tonight

AT TOMIJNSON HALL. 8:30 MAIN GO Rov Wallace, Indianapolis, vs. Pohnny GUI. York, Pa., ten rounds at 160 pounds. OTHER BOUTS Jimmy Dell. Louisville. Ky.. vs. Jackie Bhrahart, Terre Haute, eight rounds at 135 pounds. Merle Alte, Indianapolis, vs. Jimmy Brown, Cincinnati, eight rounds at 126 pounds. Heir.io MeDuff, Indianapolis, vs. Joe Dillon. Indianapolis six rounds at 118 pounds. Diek Osborne, Shelbyville, vs Jackie Coble, Terre Haute, six rounds at 118 pounds. Tommy Gibbons looks every bit a prize fighter. The heavyweight challenger is showing here at the Lyric Theater this week and he has an interesting fistic act. Eddie Kane, his manager, and a sparring partner are here with shifty Tom. Tommy is of good size and powerfully built through the chest and shoulders. It is easily seen w*hy he is a star in the light heavy and heavyweight classes. Gibbons has been doing a vaudeville turn since he fought Champion Jack Dempsey fifteen rounds at Shelby, Mont., last July, 4. He closes In two v*eeks, after which he will return to his Minnesota home and hunt for two weeks before resuming training. Manager Kane announced Sunday he had agreed to send Gibbons to Miami, Fla., for a bout there Jan. 31. An opponent has not been chosen. | The Veterans of Foreign Wars are promoting the show. Cleveland, through Promoter McGlnty, is after a Gibbons date in February, Kane said. Gibbons asserts the majority of big fellows refuse to meet him. Tunney, Greb, McTlgue, Carpentier and Firpo have been approached for bouts, but have turned down offers, according to Tom. He says Firpo is a big joke as a boxer and declares he'd punch him to pieces in a few rounds. SHE STATISTICS SHOW TILVT , COVELESKIE WHO IS SUPPOSED TO BE ALL THROUGH, WAS THE BEST PITCHER IN THE WORLD LAST SUM MER. . . . AIN'T STATISTICS WONDERFUL! Some day you may expect to see old Doc Cook pop up witii a sheaf of statistics proving he not only discovered the north pole, but built it. YOU CAN PROVE ANYTHING BY STATISTICS . . .

The statistic, of the game, published the next day. may show that your cheer was entirely out of l lace Be it ever so humbling, there are no statistics like "ten and out,” says Joseph Beckett of London. r N HATEVER HIS FAULTS.

Naughton is now at the top of the singles with a score of 694. Johnny had a great day and pounded out scores of 235, 206 and 253 -for his big total, thought to be the best made in a city tourney. H.
