jVriRRIN’ M the DOPE By VEDDER GARD

S'”"”) OMETHING is likely to happen at the meeting of lU__J the Indiana Collegiate Conference on Saturday at the Claypool Hotel, 10 a. m. Some of the smaller colleges are not very satisfied with the conference and there seems to be an undercurrent of rebellion. It is unlikely that the association will break up because there is no sign of concerted action. Among other things the freshmen rule prohibiting the playing of first year men has worked considerable hardship on the smaller schools. It is always the little fellows that get the worst of it in such an organization—pot especially because the large schools “crack the whip,” but because the conditions imposed in various rules are more easily lived up to by the big institutions. Some of the schools, it is reported, have not been paying much attention to the conference regulations. At the meeting there is a possibility of even more drastic means being devised to enforce regulations or a possible pulling away of some of the small institutions. The latter seems improbable to us. Rose Poly is “ good and sore.” The Terre Haute school has withdrawn its protest filed against Southern and Kern of the Evansville college football team at the request of the alumni committee. The protest was made just before the Rose-Evansville game on Oct. 24. and has not been acted upon. Southern took part in all games and was the star of the club. Kern also has played since the protest was made. Rose charged that both men were ineligible, because they had not been students at Evansville one year. Southern played at Ohio State and Kern at De Pauw. Professor Wischmeyer of Rose Poly sent the following letter to Professor Oldfather, president of the I. A. C.: "Bose Polytechnic Institute does not dosire to press its protest against \ Southern and Kern of Evansville College at this late date. We feel that any action that the executive committee mav take now is of no value, as Evansville was allowed to finish the season using these men. and we can sec no good to be accomplished by taking action now. The question Involved was ant'relv one of Interpretation of rules, and we should have had a prompt ruling, one way or the other, backing this we have no further interest in the matter, and shall not have a representative at the meeting of the committee.” • • • CIIAEK us up with an error. The only thing we can say i___J is—“To err is human, to forgive,divine.” The other day we stated that the Elks’ national bowling tourney was to be in Milwaukee when it is to be held right here at the Elks’ club alleys. The Elks are such good sports we know they’ll forgive us. The tourney will be one of the biggest ever put on in Indianapolis. Word was received today that Detroit will send between twentylive and thirty clubs and will make the trip on a special train with a hand along to help whoop things up. And, by the way, better go over to the Elk alleys Saturday afternoon or night and see one of the world’s greatest bowlers In action —Jimmy Smith.

COMMUNITY'S interests A are 80 interwoven that one 1/ J activity, which seems to have nothing in common with another, vitally affects it. On first thought, what connection does basketball seem, to hijive with the Industrial board and fire marshal's office of this State? Listen to this. There was a conference the other day between Dixson H. Bynum, chairman of the industrial board; Alfred Hogdson, State fire marshal, and Henry N. Sherwood, superintendent of public instruction. The result of this meeting was that deputies from the Are marshal's office and the industrial board will be on h&id in certain localities to limit attendance at games where there has been dangerous overcrowding. The average Iloosier is sensible enough on most questions._ But basketball is his weak point. Otherwise perfectly normal, \e needs a keeper some thnes at the net contests. It’s a wonder some perfectly good gym has not been tom down when the floors were closed with a howling crowd outside unable to get In. Sport of all sort takes the civilized being back many centuries into the primitive. The veneer of custom slips away. What does a real fan care about danger of fire or accident? The spectator is filled with the aest of conflict. Those youths out there on the court are fighting his battles. He enters jnto the spirit of it with all his energy. The deputies have the advantage over ordinary folks. Thev will be able to get into the gyms—maybe. * • • Iml HERE have been too many I favorites going over at New L. ..J Orleans, so the order of things was changed Thursday. Only one public choice looked the judges In the eye first. Running Fox furnished the chief shock in the fourth race and paid 60 to 1 for those lucky enough to have a certificate on the colt. The color of the horse had something io do with the big price. Now, honestly, did you ever put any good money on a gray horse? • * • S'"— “IUZANNE LENGLEN is quoted as saying that Miss Wills’ trip to France will not in any way interefere with her (Suzanne’s) plans for a winter tennis campaign. We are not so sure about this. The two likely will meet in the Cannes tourna•inent. Helen fyaa a six months’ leave of absence from the University of California to continue her art studies In France. Well, tennis, the way Miss Wills plays It, Is an ART.

LIGHT HEAVY TITLE AT STAKE IN NEW YORK FEATURE TONIGHT

Berlenbach, Champion, Is Betting Fa- \ y vorite Over Hard-Socking Delaney —All Reserved Seats Sold. By Henry L. Farrell Untied D resa Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—There is an old adage of the ring—upset once by Stanley Ketchel—that a boxer once knocked out by an opponent always will be a mark for that same opponent.

In March, 1924, Paul Berlenbach, a “reformed” amateur wrestler, reached the end of a sensational string of knockouts when he was stopped -by Jack Delaney, a FrenchCanadlan sharpshooter from Bridgeport. The defeat was only a temporary set back for a green fighter and the stolid German went out and won the world’s light heavyweight championship. 15 Rounds to Dedsiion Tonight in Madison Square Garden the same Berlenbach and the same Delaney officially will open Tex Rickard’s new $5,000,000 arena in a 15-round bout for the championship, and Berlenbach, in spite of the established jinx, is a 'I to 5 favorite to win. Those who study boxing favor Berlenbach because he Is a vastly improved fighter in the last two years, and because the punch that put Berlenbach out In his first big fight was landed by a groggy-reeling Delaney, whOvput everything in a wild right-hand punch that found its mask on an unprotected chin. Delaney Outweighed Delaney will have to win quickly if he wins because Berlenbach will have ten pounds weight on him and a -half-ton of punch pounds. For the first time since he has been promoting boxing in New York Tex Rickard had to close the ticket windows twenty-four hours before a fight. The new Garden will seat 23,000, and only 3,000 unreserved seats, that are to be placed on sale at 6 o’clock, remain. The receipts probably will reach $175,000 and Berlenbach’s share is said to be $75,000. REAL BATTLE Purdue and De Pauw in Basket Scrap Tonight. Bu Untied Press LAFAYETTE, Ind., Dec. 11.— Coach Lambert and his Purdue basket team were not any too confident as the squad prepared to meet De Pauw on the hardwood tonight.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

MAJORS SHORTEN SEASON Landis Helps American Gain Early Closing Date— More Deals Made. B u United P. NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—The major league magnates started home today after a three-day conclave that produced little of Interest in lyaseball. The American League owners congratulated themselves privately in that they had returned to power by beating the National League on the one major issue—the shortening of the 1926 playing season, and by blocking the proposal to permit pitchers to use resin on the ball. Political Change The American League owners also saw signs of a political change when Commissioner Landis voted with them to end the 1926 season Sept. 26, against the solid opposition of the National League. Landis cast the deciding vote in favor of the shorter season when the major leagues had finished In a tie. The resin rule may be brought up again by the National League men at the joint meeting of the rules committee in Febrnary, and again it may be dropped for another year. Gaston to Majors The Boston Red Sox released Bill Wambsganss (Wamby), veteran sec-ond-sacker, to Philadelphia Athletics for the waiver price of $4,000 and the Red Sox also released Bud Connolly, an Inflelder, and John Hevlng, a young catcher, to the Toledo A.
