SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM TIRRIN’ the DOPE By VEDDER Q A R D

Big Ten Prospects Si IE Big Ten basketball season does not get under ,vay until January, but just a_ glance at things on dope gathered from pre-season connects and reports from the various schools may shed a little light on how the clubs are stacking up. Right off the bat it looks as though Indiana University will be a serious contender for highest (honors just like the Crimson team was last year when it finished tied for second place with Illinois. In fact the two runners-up of last season seem to be outstanding clubs at this particular moment. Os course apy prediction at this time as to how the clubs will finish is foolish. Sophomore stars unknown to us, and sometimes practically so to the coaches, may change the complexion of things entirely. It does not look as though Ohio State, 1924-25 champions, can expect to repeat with live varsity men missing. Captain Seiffer and Cunningham are the only members of the title team who will be back. Cameron, Shaw and Miner of the regulars are gone. WEALTH OF TALENT Both Indiana and Illinois have a wealth of material. The Ulini have practically all of their men back. I. U. loses Parker, Alward and Logan. The last named will be missed the most, but with the veterans Krueger, Sponslor, Beckner and Winston ready to go why should Coach Dean worry? Michigan must be considered right up near the top. The Wolverines’ only serious loss is Haggerty, one of the best forwards in the Big Ten for three years. A flock of ”M” men are preparing for the hard court season under Coach Mather's guiding hand. Captain Doyle, center or back guard, and Cherry, the dribbling fool floor guard, are sure of jobs. Besides a great array of veterans, those two great sophomore football stars, Molenda and Oosterbaan, will be out for positions. It Is said both made excellent records in high school basketball. SHIFTING AROUND Purdue is shifting around these days in an effort to find a combination. Coach Lambert probably will get a smooth-work-ing machine together out of some promising men, but tight now the Boilermakers, always dangerous. can not be ranked with I. U., Illinois or Michigan. Coach Taylor of Minnesota has a bunch of veterans back, Including Captain Rasey, a great forward. Wolden at center also is a player of two years’ experience. One can hardly leave the Gophers out of the picture as a real threat, f Minnesota pries off the Western Conference basketball lid in a game with Wisconsin at Madison on Jan. 5. Coach Barry at lowa would like to have Santa Claus leave a couple of forwards in his stocking to replace Jnnse and Laude, two sterling snipers. The team may be somewhat unbalanced. BADGER CHANCES Wisconsin doesn’t seem to have a great deal this year and Coach Meanwell again may find himself down near the bottom of the heap—something strange for him. The Badgers finished ninth last season. Northwestern has Its last year’s players back, but that doesn’t say much, as the Purple tossers finished with an average of .333 in eighty place. A couple promising sophomores, however, have raised the hopes of the Evanston five. Chicago won only one game in 1924-25 and the team will be entirely rebuilt by Coach Norgren. Reports from the Maroon camp state that the sophomore material is the most promising in years. We’ll have to wait and see. Captain Alyea, center, and Abbott, forward, are back. • * * mT might be a good thing while looking around for needed reforms, if the Indiana High School Athletic Association would take up the matter of net teams playing two games on consecutive nights. Some of the teams play on Friday and Saturday. Even the college teams rarely do this except on trips From a standpoint of win or lose. It Is not a true test for the team that meets a fresh opponent which has not participated in a contest the night before. In the present tourney plan teams must play several games In one day. It is a more or less necessary evil, however, and all clubs are at the same disadvantage. Two games in two nights works a needless hardship on the youthful players. The schedules have been cut down to twenty games. An honest effort is being made to do away with undue strain. Why pile the competition all together? There are other nights in the week besides Friday and Saturday. We would rather take a chance of a little laxity in the classroom next day than run the chance of “burning out’’ the boys on the hardwood court.

T~n AJ. F. W. MOORE, gTaduYI ate treasurer of athletics —....J at Harvard, who caused quite a commotion by recommending that Harvard enlarge its stadium or rebuild, made what we would call a dirty crack at some of the collegians who have been giving him the razz and at the same time sponsoring a crusade against present day intercollegiate football. The harassed major, at a luncheon, was reported as saying: “I HAVE NOTICED THAT MOST UNIVERSITIES HAVE NOTCHING TO SAY WHEN THE TEAM IS WINNING. WHEN THE TEAM IS LOSINO THEN THE DISCUSSION arises And spreads.”

Hence he was used but little during most of tho campaign.. Came .'ho annual Big Ten singles tournament at Brlrrcllff. Holdsworth got a chance to compete and fairly startled the experts with his pastimlng. In the first roiuid he eliminated his teammate. Smith, one or the best golfer* the Wolverines had in years. 1 up in 19 holes. He then whipped Humphreys, another Big Ten star, to reach the semifinals. where he again won his match. 7 vp. Into the final round went Holdsworth with Captain Dawson of Illinois, one of the big favorites to cop tho honors. Obviously. Dawson stacked up as an almost certain winner.

The dope seemed to be holding true, too when Dawson got off to an early lead and kept adding to It as the match progresetd. At the twentieth hole the Dlinois celebrity was 6 up. It looked all over but the shouting. It was but a formality, the wise ones opined. But. with an utter rout staring him blankly In the faco. Holdsworth started a sensational uphill cl'mb. Hole after hole he erased from Dawson's advantage, so that when they reached the thirty-fmh tee Holdsworth had rot only blotted out his opponent's five-hole edge but had*hlm one down. The Michigander took the next hole, giving Kim the match. 2 and 1. and the Big Ten title. He had shot the difficult Briercliff layout in 71. Thus did Mode Holdsworth. a substitute. lepn to fame and a championship. Hi* sterling performance also won him the captaincy of the 1925 Michigan team.

Paragraphs added are: “A migrant student 1* a student who enters cne college from another. If he has participated in athletic*, either freshman or varsity intercollegiate, he must hare two years' calendar year residence before he la eligible for athletic*.” "If he migrate* from a college outside the Conference, he must have One calendar year residence.

Columbia Maintains Knute Has Signed Despite Reports to Contrary. Bu United Press PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 12. "Knute Itockne will remain as coach at Notre Dame. He never has had any intention of relinquishing his South Bend post. I am authorized to speak for him.” In this statement, J. M. Byrne, eastern representative of Notre Dame University, today spiked reports that Rockne, “groom of the four horsemen,” and one of the greatest coaches in football history, was considering leaving his berth with the Catholic Institution and accepting an offer made to coach the Columbia football team. “The overtures made by Columbia never received Rockne’s serious consideration,” Byrne said. “He never has had any intention of leaving his South Bend post. He had hoped to remain here today, but business affairs, which 1 cannot discuss, called him to New York this morning." 3 YEARS, COLUMBIA SAYS New York Institution Declares Rockne Has Signed Contract. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—Columbia University athletic authorities today maintained that Knute Rockne, head football coach at Notre Dame, has signed a three-year contract with the local institution, despite denials from Rockne and authorities of the Indiana school. The announcement waa made on Friday night by Reynolds Benson, graduate manager of athletics at Columbia. Terms were not made known, but it was believed that Rockne, should be leave Notre Dame, where he has coached for eight years, would receive between $15,000 and $20,000 a year.

SAYS HE’LL STAY AT N. D. Knute Tells President Walsh Columbia Reports Are Not True. Bu United Press SOUTH BEND, Ind., Deo. 12. The Rev. Matthew Walsh, president of the University of Notre Dame, announced today he had received a long distance call from Knute Rockne, Notre Dame football coach, in which Rockne denied signing a contract to coach at Columbia University. "I’ll be back at Notre Dame In a few days and you can count on me to remain with Notre Dame,” Rockne said, according to Walsh. “There is no truth to that Columbia report,” Rockne said. Walsh said he was puzzled by reports quoting Charles Knapp, chairman of the Columbia football committee, to the effect that Rockne had signed a contract to coach there. He said the great Norse coach was under a ten-year contract with Notre Dame and vthat it had eight years to run. v "If Mr. Rockne has signed a contract with Columbia he haa kept me in ignorance of it,” Mrs. Rockne told inquirers.

BIG PAUL RETAINS LAURELS Berlenbach Gains Verdict Over Delaney in Terrific Fight in New York. By Henry Farrell, United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—With tha strength of an ox and the courage of a Hon, Paul Berlenbach defeated Jack Delaney in Madison Square Garden Friday night before a crowd of 23,000 and retained his world's light heavyweight championship. Delaney, his face torn, his arms bruised black and blue and his chest almost caved in, shook his head sadly in protest when the decision of the two judges and the referee was announced. (’hampion Cautious Delaney thought he had won, but there was no question that he had trailed from the sixth round and that' he would have been knocked out if Berlenbach had not maintained a cautious respect for the right hand* that had stopped him in March, 1924. It was Berlenboch’s qualities that brought him to victory Friday from 1 the very brink of defeat. Berlenbach was knocked out in the fourth round the first time he fought Delaney and he came mighty nonr going in the same round'Friday night when the same crushing right hand caught him in the same spot on the chin and he, went down. He came to his knees at the count of three, then dropped back again for nine. Paul Recovers Delaney had the fight and the title in his hands when Berlenbach arose to his feet almost in a stupor, but he stepped back instead of tearing in and Berlenbach recovered. Berlenbach tore in for the last eight rounds, and Delaney could not have withstood the attack If he hail not been in magnificent condition. The fight offclally opened Tex Rickard’s $5,000,000 Garden Arena and the receipts were said to have been $175,000. BOSTON Jack Sharkey.
