This is a sure-enough list, especially for freshmen, with a little kidding thrown in for the kids. Don’t write a post card back home after the first two days’ practice telling your best girl you’ve made the team. There’s many a cleat twixt the “t'rosh” and the varsity. Don’t wear your high school sweater on the college campus. Not everyone appreciates the honor bestowed upon you like they do back home. Anyway your high school days are over. Don’t tell everyone how good you are. They’ll find out one way or another before long. Don’t say, “We didn’t do It like that back where I came from.” You are under new orders. Don’t argue with the coaches by words or actions or internal combustion. They may know as much about the grid game as you do. Don't sulk because you think somebody 'is getting more of a chance than you are. The coaches want the best men they have on the team. Show ’em. Don’t think you can “get by” without (training. Tt has been done but the law of averages Is against you. Don’t think that all your assets are in your legs and arms and “wind.” You’ve got a noodle supposedly filled vvHh thinking material. Exercise what’s under that helmet. It needs it worse than your muscles.

“Thus, the artless songs I sing Do not deal with anything New or never said before”— But we have a, local illustration that brings all this to mind. The Ferndales and Y. P. C. football players ant combining to form one team this year. The Y. P. C. eleven will not be in the field. As the times of tremendous ■tress in the World War showed the men in the trenches how frail were the artificial barriers set up that separate the great human brotherhood, so does the shoulder to shoulder fight in sport sweep away the narrowness that creeps into the human soul. Last year at Technical high school one of the real stars of the football and track team was a colored lad. Duke Slater, former negro tackle of lowa, was put on many All-American selections. The dark-hued Hubbard won points for the United Statc-s in the , lafct Olympics. He is one of the greatest track performers in the broad jump and dashes. There are any number of examples. A man’s a man in sportdom. And no one much cares what his religion is, his race, his antecedents, or how lie parts his hair, just so lie proves himself a stalwart—a MAN in the game he plays. “But there is neither East nor \Y r est, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth, When two strong men stand face to face, though they come from the ends of the earth!’\ • • • o : ACROSS THE BOARD TODAY : o Latonia is provine the Waterloo of Across the Board’s hunk roll.

Patrons of the Brightwood open air arena were given real action for their money Wednesday night, when five bouts and a battle royal were staged. In the main event of ten rounds, Merle Alte, local featherweight, landed the sharper punches and gained an edge over A1 Ziemer, Cleveland veteran. Alte missed many swings, but he scored enough to entitle him to ash We. Ziemer seldom used his right hand and depended on a light straight left to bother the aggressive Merle. The local lad pleased the crowd with his efforts against the more experienced boxer. . Ziemer didn't step out and force the fighting enough to satisfy the ringsiders. * OTHER BOUTS Reamer Roberts and Royal Cox clashed ! n a sizzling: eigrht-round match that ended with honors even. The lads put up a whirlwind scrap most of the way and little ground was (riven by either. Joe Dillon surprised many by getting a draw with Carl Schmadel in eight rounds Sohniadel weakened after obtaining a lead and Dillon proved the stronger in a wild last round rally. Louie Epstein stopped Jackie Harris It the first round. Louie was sent hurtling through the ropes at the start, but he was back in the ring in an instant and smothered Harris with punches until Referee Webber called a halt and awarded the honors to Epstein. Billy Moore and Young Miller opened the show with an a four-round draw. 3AHR IS ‘FROSH’ COACH By Time* Special LAFAYETTE, Ind., Sept. 17.—Announcement was made today at the office of Director of Athletics Kellogg of the appointment of R.

The survivors, four of whom will be stricken off the list today, ate William Tilden, defending champion; Billy Johnston, Vincent Richavus. Dick Williams. Howard Kinsey, Wallace Johnson, Manuel Alonzo and Rene Lacoste. The feature battle on today's program was to be staged between Frances hope for the future, the 20-year-old Wimbledon champion, Lacoste, and Vinnie Richards, a recent graduate from the “boy wonder’’ class. Another interesting match was to be staged in the lower half between Tilden and Wallace Johnson, who were finalists in the championship three years ago. Johnson, in chopstroking Jim Anderson to his finish Wednesday, proved himself one of the marvels of the court. Dick Williams, veteran American Davis cup star and former national champion, was to play Howard Kinsey today and if Williams played like he did against Borotra, Kinsey was doomed. Billy Johnston, the crowd's favorite, was to meet Alonso, the Spanish Davis cup star, and he'was not expected to have much difficulty. LAVAN QUITS BASEBALL K. C.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

TRIBE IN CAMP OF CHAMPS Indians and Colonels in Rivalry Series —Weather Interferes at Toledo. Bu Time* Special LOUISVILLE. Sept. 17. After being rained out at Toledo. Wednesday, the Indians of Ownie Bush were here today to open a series with the champion Colonels. The rivals will mix in a four-day round of struggles, the series closing Sunday. , Indianapolis has defeated the champions twelve out of nineteen games this season and Manager Bush is eager to see his pastimers annex another scries from the pennant winners. Bush was disappointed over the turn of events in Columbus and Toledo, where four days were lost on account of bad weather. Only one game was played In Toledo and Bush hopes to get permission to transfer three Hen contests to Indianapolis next week in order to give his Tribesmen a better chance to overhaul St. Paul in the battle for second place. Ths trip has been a dead financial loss to the Indians, but they have some prospects of picking up part of the cost in the series here.

ONLY EIGHTEEN OUT FOR BROAD RIPPLE H. S. TEAM Quality, but Not Much Quantity, on Suburban Football Squad—Coach Diederich in Charge.

. By IWck Miller The Broad Ripple High School football squad Wednesday resembled a local Democratic election day turnout. Few out, but every one a worker. The Ripple gridiron team is in its second campaign, having taken up the sport last year. Anew engineer is at the steering wheel of the Ripple steam roller this year. He is Edward Diederich. former Butler star. He succeeeds Coach Wann. who is in ill health. A few interesting bits of data were gained from K. V. Ammerman, prinicipal at the school and manager of the football team. Ammerman was for years athletic director at Manual Training High School. A year ago when Broad Ripple took up football there were ninety-four students enrolled in the school. This season. Ammerman's second year at the institution, shows 200 have registered. Hopes for more football men were shattered when Ammerman declared ten of the biggest and huskiest old players ineligible for the grid team for scholastic reasons. Only Eighteen Eighteen men are now fighting for berths on the Gold and Black team. The school boasts of a fine athletic system, with greater opportunity for freshmen students to make the teams. Diederich has Mehring, Patton, Powell, Hitchcock.

Bush Manages ’Em, but Sully Picks ’Em

Paul (Ted) Sullivan, formerly of I Indianapolis, but now of Detroit, re- ! cently increased his bank roll by SIOO as a result of winning second prize in a Babe Ruth all-American team contest conducted by the Detroit Times. Twenty thousand fans participated in the “guessing” event and Sullivan has been making plenty of noise telling his friends how smart he was to land the runner-up position. Not one of the twenty thousand in the Detroit contest guessed every player and position correctly, but nine guessed within one position. Letters of exolanation were required and Sullivan was nosed out of first prize by another Detroiter who submitted what was judged a highergrade note accompanying the selection. Missed Center Field Sullivan missed Ruth’s team in center field only where he used Simmons instead of Speaker. The first prize winner, H. K. Mendelsohn. missed in only one position, at third base, where he used Frisch instead of Rluege. It looks like Ruth used a “fooler” by designating Bluege for third and also by leaving the great Simmons off his team. Indianapolis friends of Sullivan are of the opinion that if he had been permitted to talk his explanation instead of writing it he would have been declared first prize winner and also awarded a bonus. He was brought up in Ownie Bush's neighborhood and for the last two years has been very prominent in

HARTER CARD Wallace vs. Sobjeck in One Feature Sept. 28. Matchmaker Steve Harter of the Washington A. C„ is signing up a galaxy of knuckle dusters for his opening fistic carnival at Tomlinson Hall Sept. 28, and in one of his tenround’ scraps will appear Roy Wallace, hard-hitting local middleweight, and Larry Sobjeck, a rough pug out of Milwaukee. Predictions are that one of the two sluggers is going to be flattened. Harter plans to give the fans a card calling for forty-eight rounds of fisticuffs at popular prices, in order to start them off properly in the downtown glove events. Boxing has enjoyed a big boost here recently, , and fans are advised to make early reservations for Harter's opening show. He says he’ll make every effort to fill the hall. WOMEN BOWLERS BUSY 11. A.

Washington St. I Asa means of protection it might ’ be a wise idea for Sullivan to save ! that SIOO prize money and bring it i here with him for fun fest purposes , and as bribe money to escape a toI matoe shower. ; As for Babe Ruth's team, it follows: Vance and Rommell, pitch; Cochrane, catch; Bottomley, first base; Hornsby, second base; Bluege, third base; Wright, short stop; Goslin, left field; Speaker, center field; Cuyler, right field. Sullivan used Simmons in center, his lone miss. EdCtor Fumbles Three The sports editor of the Tndian--1 apolis Times was in a similar Babe Ruth contest conducted by the Christy Walsh syndicate and missed Ruth's teajn In three positions, first base, third base and left field. The Times scribe decided he preferred Sisler at first Instead of Bottomley; Frisch at third instead cf Bluege, and Simmons in left field instead of Goslin. But at any rate Ted Sullivan is I one hundred smackers to the good and his friends hope he enjoys plenty more luck and isn't searched and seized at the Hoosier State line and various county and township lines on his next excursion to the home town.
