Net Fans Here Look Forward to Thrills at De Pauw-Butler Struggle Saturdm

DASHING TIGER SHOOTERS FAVORITES OVER PAGEMEN Tomlinson Hall Feature College Game Sure to Attract Capacity Throng—Locals Prepared for Hard Scrap, De Pauw and Butler Saturday night at Tomlinson Hall! "What more could the basketball fans of the city wish for* There’s one Thing sure—all the crowd around Tomlinson Hall won’t be buying foodstuffs for the Sunday dinner. Any number will be purchasing little pasteboards good for a repast of basket thrills.

If ever that De Pauw aggregation was traveling at a dizzy speed it seems to be doing that very thing at present. The way the Methodists romped against the State Normal five Wednesday was a revelation to certain Hoosier coaches. Classy Forwards White and Laughlin, forwards, never were working in smoother fashion. White has been making a majority of the points, but. according to reports, that clever little flash. Pa ughlin. has been feeding him the ball with beautiful floor work and passing. Johnson at center has been going god and Irvin and Hirt have been stopping their opponents in rare style. When one considers that a team of the caliber of State Normal did not get a field goal in the last half of the- recent game, then the defensive work Os the De Pauw guards needs no further comment. Butler Jinx It is no wonder then that the Greencastle team is the favorite over Butler ir. the coming fray. If it were not for the fact that in seasons past De Pauw has played its poorest ngainst the local collegians even more confidence would be placed in them. Butler seems to have a basketball jinx over the Methodists, but there is a feeling in the air the old charm won t work this year. Buticr is having its troubles this season. Some of the veterans are not coming through as was hoped and in juries are helping to disorganize things. Wallie Middlesworth. who has a ban knee from football, probably will not get into the De Pauw con test. The Butler team will line up with Nipper and Hooker forwards; Griggs center: Paul and ; Marker, guards. Colway and Black are reserve guards and Keach will j get in at forward. SHOCKER VtROICT EXPECTED SHORTLY St, Louis Case Has Assumed Important Baseball Part. By United Press CHICAGO. Jan. 4.—An early decision on Pitcher Urban Shocker's demand for unconditional release from the St. Louis Browns was indicated today by High Commissioner Landis.

ANOTHER ROW IS IMPENDING AMONG TENNIS LEADERS Movement Launched to Curb Newspaper Work of Tilden and Richards, By HENRY L. FARRELL, United (Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Jan. 4.—Action to curb the literary activities of star players, and perhaps to subdue the liberal element headed by Bill Tilden and Vincent Richards, lias been proj posed again to the United State3 Lawn j Tennis Association. The amateur rule committee of the assoelaition will ask approval at trv annual meeting of the association of anew interpretation of the amateur rule which will prohibit players from writing for "substantial compensation” after Jan. 1, 1926. Protest Sure so Come This rule, while no names or individual cases were mentioned, is directed at Tilden and Richards, and just as obviously it will cause those two players to protest the invasion of private and personal rights. From a positive source it has been learned Tilden intends to write just I as long as he can find a market for his fiction and his technical articles, regardless of any rule that may be passed against him. The amateur rule committee made it clear to newspapermen that it did not propose to prohibit all players from \ writing for money and it was said the committee would assume the responsibility of drawing a distinction between “substantial compensation” and "negligible remuneration." Big Money rnr Tilden All personal re ( ronces were carefully evaded by the committee and no figures were available, but it was learned that Tilden is earning more than $5,000 a year by writings. There is no assurance the association will approve of the new interpre j lation of the rule, and to the contrary ; it ip quite possible Tilden will have! defenders among the association members.

HALF OF BIG TEM TEAMS IN ACTIO! ON STATE COURT? Indiana - Wisconsin, PurdueChicago, Notre Dame-Mic’ni-gan on Saturday Night Exactly one-half of the Big Ten basketball teams will see action in Indiana on Saturday night. Five squads perform on Hoosier courts and four of them are in their opening western Conference contests. Indiana U. entertains Wisconsin, a much-respected visitor; Purdue is host, to Chicago, and Notre Dame has ar- , ranged a hardwood party at the South | Bend Y. M. C. A. for Michigan. Saturday night marks the start of I the Big Ten season. Illinois Is at Min- ; nesota in the only other game. Purdue is rated better than Chicago, but the Maroons are no easy mark by any means. The Boilermakers did not show so formidable against Wabash in their last game. Indiana University probably will have its hands full when the strong Badger five is encountered. Wiscon-j -in has anew team, but a good as can be proved by asking De Pauw and Franklin what they think of Coach Meanwell’s proteges. Notre Dame will give Michigan some battle o that small “Y” floor.
