INGATE High School is to |Y/rt I have anew gymnasium. 1 I Back in the good old days that town boasted of some wonderful teams, including State champions. They played in a gym about th esize of a box car. Coach Goldsberry of Shortridge played at Wingate before he went to Wabash. He can tell some great stories about that two-by-four floor with its ceiling just above the basket. Goldsberry used to make baskets by banking the ball off the walls. “Snake,” as he was known in those days, used to practice the stunt with a place marked on the wall with chalk. What they did to visiting teams in that little room was terrible. If everybody didn’t make at least half a dozen baskets it was considered a night miss-spent. “Them lays is gone forever.” • • • We told you about thadd, the little tad, many months ago. We asked you to remember that chunky Butler basketball player. Kindly take a look at what the sophomore net performer did Tuesday night at Muncle. He made six field goals in the Muncie Normal contest. That’s all. IOME things the Chicago Post said about Merle Alte t__J in his fight with Ray Rychell last week: “Tern fighters who have come this way in recent years made quite the hit that one Merle Alte did at Bast Chicago. Acting as one of Jim Mullen’s last minute boys, he ‘stole the show' as they say over the iootlights . . . hardly had the boys finishing shaking hands before he started popping with his right hand and he had his opponent on the floor listening to Referee McVey’s count "The fans took Alte’s end right off the reel. Referee McVey lost favor with some because he did not insist that Rychell get bade to a neutral corner In tho fifth when he knocked the visitor down. “Anyway, it was a real old-time slugging match . . . Fellows like Nate Lewis and Dr. O’Connell said it was tho beet they had ever seen. Matchmaker Jim Mullen announced that he would give Alte a chance to fight at his next show with proper time to train. “Although beaten Alte came out with the lion's share of the honors. He lost, was badl.v beaten, but in losing he raised many a bump on Rychell’s head. That kid hits like a mule kicks, and the next time he comes back he can be expected to pack them in." That a boy, Merle. We always said when it came to a lighting heart —an actual love of the thud of the gloves—you had the edge on boys around here. We give you credit for not sulking in the East bout after going up there fl| twenty-four hours' notice. , You didn’t bemoan the lack of time to prepare for the battle, but waded in and fought. Don’t for a minute think you lost prestige in that defeat. Every time you hit Rychell you also made a hit with the fans—and the promoters. In most any game it pays to give your best. * * • Nurmi, the great Finn runner, is to return to the United States in 1927, according to reports from his native land. Paavo had better not wait too long. There is onvold gentleman that beats the best athletes. His name is Father Time. • * * There is plenty of dope to stir, but the space is so limited today because of the all-State high school football selections that we’ll take a vacation and not fill up this column. See you tomorrow. DE PAUW BEATS QUAKERS Bu United Press GREENCASTLE, Ind., Dec. 9. The De Pauw Tigers todey were celebrating the victory scored over Earlham last night by a score of 44 to 29.

Bu Times S-ecial BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Dec. 9. — Indiana University basketball fans have much faith in the ability of Coach Everett Dean to produce a winner in the Big Ten ajrain this year. Dean has a remarkable rec ord as a coach of basketball and baseball since he played with the I. U five. Dean started his athletic career with Indiana as a center on the hardwood quintet. He was all-conference center in 1920 and 1921 and by unan imous choice was captain of the 1921 five. Dean left, his alma mater upon graduation to become head coach of basketball and baseball and assistant coach of football at Carleton College, Northfield, Minn. He was successful from the start, In 1922 his net team lost only one game in the mid-west conference. His diamond nine landed in second place. Dean’s Carleton quintet lost only two basketball games in the conference in 1923 and finished second. The baseball team held on to its position as runner-up among midwest conference nines that year.

HUSKERS OFF SCHEDULE Bu United Press LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 9.—“ Notre Dame has grown tired of having its race and religion insulted by Nebraska football crowds.” This, in substance, was the reason given Coach Bearg of Nebraska for cancellation of the annual Notre Dame-Nebraska game by the Notre Dame faculty, Bearg declared on his return here from South Bend today. Bearg said he was given to understand by Father George Finnigan that the Notre Dame-Corn Husker game was .becoming more of a religious war than a sporting contest and that the Catholic school considered It best for all concerned to sever athletic relations.

LOCAL BOUTS Six fistic bouts were staged at Tomlinson Hall Tuesday night by the Progress C., and some scraps were good and others not so good. In the main go honors were even between Hay Hahn and Jakie Gross. It tyas a ten-rouni affair. It was the third time the junior welterweights had met, and they knew too much about each other’s style to supply good action. Hahn outpointed Eddie Dyer in Terre Haute Monday night in a ten-rounder, and he lacked much of his usual steam. Howard McClain had the better of Kewpie Trimble, the “war horse," in the other ten-rounder Tuesday. This scrap was a wild-swinging encounter that pleased the fans. Johnny Murphy and Reamer Roberts fought a six-round draw; Tate Langford Soldier Fields in four rounds; Louie Epstein had the better of Jackie Stewart in four rounds and Charlie Shine knockedout Marion Kepner in the first round. GRANGE FAILS TO SHINE Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. The Chicago Bears pro football defeated the Washington All-Stars here Tuesday, 19 to 0, before about 10,000 fans.

The former Illini star gained only about seven yards. It is said he received about |4,000 for playing, but grid fans got very little "kick” out of his performance.

JUNIOR LOOP OPPOSES CANCELING RESIN BAN

By Henry l*- Farrell United Press Stall Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 9.—Suggestions made by the National League that pitchers be allowed to use resin on the ball found opposition at the annual meeting of the American League Baseball Club owners here today. The National League asked Commissioner Landis to call a meeting of the. joint rules committee in February to consider an alteration of the restriction of pitting; shortening of the playing season and other minor matters. -Several of the American League magnates said they were opposed to any change in the pitching rules. Bobby Quinn, president of the Boston Red Sox, said: “If pitchers are allowed to use resin, even under the supervision of the umpires, they will start using other foreign substances, and the whole rule would be useless.” The National League owners did very, little business at their session Tuesday and the meeting closed today with memorial services for a large number of prominent baseball men who died during the past season. The American League owners had little of importance on the program for their anrual meeting today. It was understood they would approve a shorter playing season and would suggest a rule preventing encroachments on the playing field during world series games. Some changes in the rule covering playoffs of games stopped by rain also were to be considered. Connie Mack announced he had signed Kid Gleason, former manager of the Chicago White Sox, as a coach and assistant manager. Officials of the New York Yan-

DECISIONS Bu United Press ANDERSON, Ind., Dec. 9.—A1l of the high schools In Harrison County, Rensselaer High School and Carthage High School have been placed on probation until June 1, 1926. by the Indiana High School Athletic Association. The action in regard to Harrison County was taken, because the schools were said to have played eighth grade students as high school players, allowed students without proper scholastic credit to participate in games, and used unapproved officials. A number of other less drastic decisions were handed down involving eligibility, disputed games and officiating.

Emerson, Gary, Only Eleven to Land Two Positions—Hickman, Tech, Is One of Tackles. By Dick Miller Without a champion and with several undefeated teams hesitating in claiming the State title, high school football closed its most successful season in Indiana Thanksgiving day. The usual post season games after Turkey Day were lacking.

Mishawaka closed its season with an overwhelming victory over Elkhart, title claimant of 1924. The score was 54 to 0. Emerson of Gary breezed through the fall with a youthful team and added its fifth season without a defeat. Technical of Indianapolis won the Capital City championship with victories over Shortridge and Manual. Tech was undefeated by State opponents. In Western Indiana Linton stormed through a hart) schedule and defeated the best among western Indiana teams. Its Blate was clean, as was that of Gertsmeyer, of Terre Haute. Consequently the western Indiana Wabash Valley championship rested in dispute. Lebanon was undefeated, but its schedule did not include prominent State elevens. Muncie closed with one defeat only, that by Tech of Indianapolis, and Clinton played a tie game with Linton and lost to Blcknell. Central of Evansville won the "pocket” and Evansville city titles, but was eliminated as a State title contender at the hands of Blcknell, 8 to 7. Jasonvllle also had a strong aggregation, as did South Bend and Marion. Since no title games were played and the title crown Is resting on no particular head, it would seem to the writer that Emerson of Gary and Linton would have a hard time defeating one another. Emerson would seem to be a shade better than Mishawaka, according the South Bend players. Tech of Indianapolis and Gertsmeyer of Terre Haute follow closely, with Lebanon not able to dispute the other, except to say It was undefeated. It is hard to tell, however, what would happen if all these teams would meet in an elimination series. Much Traveling To select the men is another task that will arouse the ire of some and the favor of others and rests somewhat in the fact that It is a personal opinion proposition. The latter is not altogether true. In selecting The Times all-State teams and “honorable mentions” the writer traveled 3,000 miles to officiate and see most of the big teams iVi action. Sports Writers on papers who are personal friends and officials over the State were consulted and told to watch the various men who stood out in early season games. Coaches had the pleasure to nominate their four best men and almost invariably named the men who were already on the writer’s list. Ross of Wabash and Shay of Emerson were the consistent men of their teams, played wonderful ball against ail opponents and displayed the stuff to make them select half backs. They had all the requisites. Vardi came fast at Clinton, but had the great Magnabosco, full back, as Interference, while Mendenhall rose to heights In the last city game with Wiley at Terre Haute. Kintz and Brady were both stellar performers. Great Full Back \ Magnabosco, full back, holds hlk position of all-State caliber again this ytar and by his brilliant playing me.de himself a popular choice for many all-western Indiana teams. He is a better all-round player than either Johnson or Risk. Babcock of Tech, Indianapolis; Richendollar, Ft. Wayne Liggett, Muncie; Hoover, Boonvillle, and Miller, Elkhart, were great players, but not as finished a? Magnabosco. Johnson and Risk. George, Muncie quarterback, slipped from his position in 1924 and In one game his judgment of plays, in the opinion of the writer, caused

his team defeat. Lindzy on the other hand piloted his team to a season of victories. Parks of Linton did likewise. Elser, the greatest of ends Gary has had, is likewise the best in the State. Moss, Gertsmeyer, Terre Haute, shades Woerner, Manual, In fact that he is probably both the best forward pass receiver and defensive player in the State. Grabert also is a,, fine receiver of the p^ss. The first team guards stand out above anything else in the State, but the tackles run to excellent quality even into the honorable mention list. The centers also were good, with Williams, Linton, on top of the pyramid unchallenged. BUTLER WINS Bu United Press MUNCIE, Ind., Dec. 9.— Muncie Normal today was recovering from the shock of seeing team battered by the Butler Bull \ Dogs Tuesday night to the tune of 41 to 13. Butler grabbed an early lead and was never threatened. Chadd, the chunky little floor guard of Butler, rung up six field goals. Keach got five and Nipper four from the field. The winner’s defense was airtight.
