STIRRIN’I the DOPE I By VEDDERGARD

Mr— RS. MALAPROP said today that until last night sho thought that a boxing contest was some sort of a matcix between carpenters. Sho remembered seeing somewhere once where Dempsey, who was a shipbuilder during the war, met a carpenter and knocked him out by hammering him around the ring. We said it was a natural mistake, but the old lady was quite put out after witnessing the Tomlinson Hall show and seeing what it was all about. She exclaimed that Steve Harter was a good-looking pulmotor. One of her objections to the lsmts was lhat the men were retired in such scanty clothing. Mrs. Malaprop, let it be understood, Is a lady of the old school to which an exposed ankle brought more blushes than a dimpled knee in tnis rapid age. The bell for the beginning of the rounds reminded the old lady of her alarm clock at home and when she dozed away It startled her right out of her seat. Why one man should get such a tine view of the fight was more than she could understand. We tried |to explain that the raferee was lm"portant. She said he must be an extinguished parsonage, but that it was transparent to her that he was no window —at least she couldn’t look through him. We said that he was in the ring to see that the fighters “broke” all right. "Oh, sort of a referee in bankruptcy,” she came back at us. That was the final knockout punch. When we recovered consciousness the fights were over. We asked Mrs. Malaprop how the main go went. She said it looked as though everyone was leaving by the front entrance. • *

P JUCH depends upon how luck IV/! breaks whether one Is a bum or a hero. One is a wizard or a goof as Dame Fortune smiles or frowns. A couple years ago Princeton startled the football world with its daring use of the forward pass near the Tieer goal in a brilliant game at Chicago. Princeton was successful with something that was considered bad football. The eastern eleven took plenty of chances and got away with them. Coach Roper was a wizard and his men heroes. Last Saturday against Colgate, in a desperate effort to score, with the count 2 to 0 against them as the result of it safety, Princeton attempted a forward pass under its own goal posts. The toss was intercepted and a moment later Tryon, the wonderful Colgate back, crashed over for a touchdown. The Tigers were defeated, 9 to 0. Write your own moral. • * * HE filing of a protest by | ! Rose Poly against tho IJL playing of Southern on the Evansville College football team recalls the threatened exliosure of ineligibility on certain Hoosleor teams brought tip by Coach Harmon of Evansville at the meeting of the Indiana Intercollegiate Conference in Indianapolis last December. Now. I Harmon is the accused, instead of the accuser. Harmon’s case against certain schools was sqhclched last year as far as the public was concerned, ' when it was decided to take the charges to the executive committee instead of handling it in open meeting. It has never been learned definitely whether anything was done or whether the accusations were laid before the committee. Tlie present protest may start an upheaval. Coach Harmon, the accused, may have something to say about some of the things lie knows about others. * * *

r*r“IFTER some delving into A I eastern newspapers and I some slight research, we beg to announce that it appears as though the way to spell the name of Pennsylvania's great plunging full back is KREUZ. It has been spelled in every conceivable way. The Penna player has become an important enough figure on the gridiron this season to have the letters in his cognomen put together right. We don’t even guarantee that it is Kreuz. But that seems to be the consensus of opinion at the present moment. * * * [■ ~l D TAYLOR, the Terre I R I Haute bantam, always popLHJ ular with local boxing fans, is a long way from Hoosierdom.

FIRST CITY SERIES H. S. FOOTBALL TILT AT WASHINGTON PARK

NEWARK BOUT IS BIG JOKE Officials to Probe Action of Johnson’s Seconds — Wills’ Prestige Hurt. By Henry L. Farrell, Unit'd Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Oct. 27.—Official investigation by New Jersey boxing officials is expected to follow the queer two-minute victory which Harry Wilis, negro heavyweight challenger, scored over Floyd Johnson, lowa heavyweight, Monday night in Newark. Ten thousand fans who packed the big Armory roared in protest and derision when a towel came sailing in from Johnson’s corner before the contest had been given a good start. Holds and Hits Wills, following his usual style of holding with his long left arm and pounding the body at close quarters with his right, had backed Johnson into a corner and was plastering him with body punches when Charlie Cook, Johnson’s manager and chief second, tossed the towel. Johnson was on his feet at the time and looked to be in no immediate danger. Johnson made a protest that he wanted to continue, but it was only a gesture. Hurt by Stomach Blows Platt Adams, New Jersey boxing inspector, ordered Johnson examined and he said the doctors reported the lowa fighter had been weakened by punches to the stomach. Cook defended his action in using the towel by saying Johnson was "out” on his feet and that he might have been hurt fatally if Wills had a good shot at his jaw. Wills lost a lot of prestige in the fight and he has yet to prove he is entitled to the first chance for a match with Jack Dempsey.

GRIDIRON STRATEGY - — ~^“ Accuracy Most Essential ■ By Ernie Vick, Michigan, All-America Center, 1921 A1 N Important feature of center play is feeding the ball to the backfield on direct passes. i___J On close formations, the center should lead the receiver a step or so, the ball thrown in such a manner as not to make the receiver straighten up, or reach to the ground for the ball. The speed of the ball should be moderate, making It easy to handle by the receiver. The center Should try and throw a light ball, not a heavy ball, as we say in baseball. When the quarterback is directly behind the center the ball should be handed to him, not thrown. This avoids fumbles. On punts or drop kicks the center, after he has thrown the ball, holds In the line for about three seconds. (In this case holds means blocking.) He then Immediately runs down the field to the point where the ball was kicked, In order to attempt to tackle the runner. I might say a fast center makes a number ofthe tackles as the ends are being taken out by the secondary defense. In 50 per cent of the cases either the left tackle or center makes the tackle. On a forward pass play the center holds, as on a punt, and then "covers up!’ along the line of scrimmage according to what side the pass is made. This leaves him In a position to tackle the runner in case the pass has been intercepted by an opposing player. This part of play is important. He Is a safety man like tho other linemen on plays of this nature. No player can reach great heights as a center unless he is an accurate passer, or to use at baseball term, has control. In baseball a pitcher may have all the stuff in the world but is unable to win unless he can get the ball over the plate. The success of practically every play depends on the accuracy of the pass made by the center. A poor pass gets everything away to a bad start. It is possible for every center to become an accurate passer if he keeps everlastnig at that feature of play. By practice he makes It more or less mechanical. N This. I believe, takes in about everything an offensive center has to keep In mind.

RISKO-CHUCK Cleveland Heavy Gets Another Chance Here. John Rlsko, Cleveland heavyweight, has been matched to box Chuck Wiggins over the ten-round route in the feature scrap at the Inland A. C. ring show at Tomlinson Hall Wednesday, Nov. 4. Popular prices will prevail and a strong supporting card of prelims will be arranged for next week’s program. Rlsko engaged in an encounter with Wiggins at Ft Benjamin Harrison last summer and was disqualified when the judges refused to allow him the honors when ho claimed he was fouled in tho fourth round. It was a good fight until a low blow brought on the confusion. Since that incident, Risko has expressed regret over the affair and the black mark on his record has worried him. He asked Indianapolis promoters to get him another match with Wiggins and the Inland A. C. responded after being convinced Rlsko is sincere in his determination to erase the technical k. o. awarded Wiggins.

Manual and Shortridge Elevens Meet Friday in Week’s Feature for Gridiron Fans. Former days of rivalry will bo recalled Friday when Manual and Shortridge high school football teams clash at Washington Park in the first of the city series contests. The last contest between the two schools was played at the baseball grounds some sixteen years ago and resulted in such disorder after the contest that all inter-school athletics were barred.

In those days past and gone Manual and Shortridge were the only high schools In the city and the rivalry was intense. Times have changed, however, and there has been no rowdyism since the schools have been allowed to play each other. Technical has appeared upon the scene to take the edge from the old feeling. On Friday two well-conducted student bodies will watch their favorites In a struggle for gridiron supruniicy. There will be plenty of pep and cheers, but the battle will be confined to the p’aylng field only. The two teams appear fairly evenly matched. Shortridge has not been defeated, but has not played as strong clubs as met by Manual. The Red and White probably will be slight favorites before the start. The south eiders will have their strongest line-up ready * for Shortridge. Higgs, sterling half, will be back In the game, after a lay-off because of a sprained ankle. Coach Ragsdale is working to strengthen his line, which has showed weakness in some games. Coach Goldsberry of Shortridge is holding intensive work for the contest and on Monday held secret practice. The Blue and White also expects to have Its regular line-up in the scrap. Anderson will be back at center and the backfield of Kilgore, Holt. Kern and Peacock intact.

Rose Poly Protests “Eva” Star

Bu Times Special TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Oct. 27. A protest against the playing of Clarence Southern, sfkr half back on the Evansville College eleven, has been filed with tho executive committee of the Indiana Intercollegiate Conference by Professor Wischmeyer, chairman of the Iloso Poly athletic committee. The Rose protest says information has been obtained which shows Southern played with the Ohio State freshmen in 1922 and also was a member of tho 1923 Ohio State squad. The protest points out that Southern has not been a student at Evansville College a full academic year. According to the protest, Southern is a “migrato” student and must have at least a year’s residence as a student in Evansville College before being eligible for athletics, according to the Indiana Intercollegiate conference regulations.

SUNDAY GRID N. D. Reserve - Ferndale Game Stirs Local Interest.

Washington St. grounds when the teams swing Into action. Tickets are on sale at the Em-Roe store and the Smlth-Hassler-Sturm store. The Notre Dame "haliers" usually send out a strong aggregation, and they probably will bolster next Sunday in order to offer stiff resistance to the charges of the Femdales. The locals have been showing much improvement under the coaching of Erehart and their playing last Sunday, when they defeated Peru, supplied the fans with high-class enteriainmeht. The Sunday contest will start at 2:30.

CANADIAN SURPRISE AS U B’ Darcy Has Better of Wallace in Exciting BoutPrelims Are Fast. Len Darcy, Canadian, proved *£ capable “sub” for Tommy Burns, Detroit, against Roy Wallace, Indianapolis, in the main event of the Washington A. C. fistic card at Tomlslnon Hall Monday night, and when the night's feature performance ended tho Dominion scrapper was on the long end of the scoring. Darcy had tho hotter of the bout, but It was a thriller affair, and the youthful Brightwood mauler gave a good account of himself. Roy was knoci t- and wn in the second round, but came right up and rapidly was overcoming Darcy's lead when the visitor flourished again and won the honors by rallying in the ninth and tenth rounds. Darcy weighed In at 160 and Walt lace at 162. Each took turns %t forcing the milling, but experience counted In the lqng run and Darcy did exactly what old-timers present guessed he would do In the closing rounds—step out and wade in. Roy's seconds evidently were caught nap ping and Roy fell into the trap. It j was In the ninth and tenth that Darcy clinched the newspaper verdict. The Harter show went over big and a large crowd was well pleased with the program. The main go was exciting and the prelims, with one exception, were filled with ac tion. Bouts other than the main go resulted as follows: Brett Waggoner had the better of Fight inr Ferrari* in six rounds. Don Carson had tho I Hitter of Billy Lor i in six round*. Royal Uox waa awarded the honor* over Johnny Unhook when the latter wm disqualified in the fifth round for nov fighting Johnny Murphy knocked out Ted Hunt in the fourth round Joe Scully and Carl Boh made l boxed four round* to a draw.
