■ggg&m " - • x "■ T the DOPE By VEDDER GARD

S'"' 1 "|OME suggestions have been put forward in this week’s _J burlesque Issue of the Big Ten Weekly for the Improvement of basketball. The Idea Is to make the net sport more like football. The following rules speak for themselves: Allow defensive men to tackle any man dribbling the ball. Cut out all free throws, except that one free throw be granted after each basket, Just as a goal is granted after each touchdown in football. 1 Allow the ball to be kicked, on punts, drop kick or on place kicks. Play the game out-of-doors. January and February evenings are ideal for basketball, and both the crowd and players would be greatly invigorated. If this is not feasible, the players should at least wear cleats to prevent slipping when pivoting. Abolish the Jump plays from ttpolf and have the centers pass the ball back between their legs. Instead of calling signals by having the center indicate with his fingers, require teams to go into a huddle between plays. Increase the number of officials from two to four, adding a floor judge and head linesman. Limit the season to eight games, but place greater emphasis on each game, particularly the home-coming affair. • * • Some of these days you are going to see another name in the starting lineup of the Indiana University basketball team. It Is Correll, another Bloomington High School star. That youth Is running some of the veterans ragged for a place. He Is a great dribbler and a swell shot from far out. Along with it he is plenty husky to stand the gaff. * * • The Marion County “basket” tourney is in progress af Tomlinson Hall. Some of the fans bring along their lunches and camp on the scenp of the struggles. • * * mHE western Conference has passed a rule which prohibits coaches and basketball officials from talking before a Tgame or between halves. It Is most certainly a splendid idea, but why not go a bit farther and include ‘‘after the game,” say, for at least an hour. We aren’t kidding about this. Coaches and officials are the best fellows in the world for the most part, but in tight games may get overheated and say things directly afterward which they regret as soon as they have cooled oft. The officials are not always right and neither are the coaches, so both should have a little while to think over the game calmly before discussing it. We would just revive and put into practice the old admonition of counting ten when one is angry. • * * Hoosier Corners, Ind. Dear Stirrin’: We are all excited about our high sohool basketball team and believe it should be placed at the top of every “Big Ten” in the State. We have won every game so far this season. The record speaks for itself, but we are the interpreters. Victory Is the motto of Coach Scoldem who also should be placed at the top of something or other. But about our wonderful record —Hoosier Corners has won both its games, defeating Punkin Center, 10 to 9, and overwhelming Squedunk Crossroads, 12 to 8. We have two wonderful basketball sharpshooters on our team, but we will not mention their names on account of jealousy of other teams and the possibility of some big butter and egg men of neighboring towns tampering with the boys. Watch our smoke. All the team smokes Granger Twist when the coach isn’t looking, iWe will surely be on hand in the State tourney whether we play sr not because the boys are good walkers. Yours for a bigger and better basketball season, Including sportsmanship those other things we know about by* hearsay from reading the metropolitan dailies. MUTT AND JEFF. P. S. —We think your column Is the best In the ebuntry (we don’t know much abobt the city), and always turn to It as soon as we get through reading about the murders. • Thank you, Mutt and Jeff. We are glad you like our column. It is not necessary to censor lettans like yours. We always try to be fair. It almost breaks our heart when a team loses. If all games were ties, everything would be lovely. Yon probably have a wonderful team, but vye would be the last to admit it. Time will tell. Far be it from us to express an opinion. * * * rprilLL INGRAM of I. U. and | K I is ‘‘all-Eastem” team will i .r.J “put'on the dog,” in the game against all-star West coast team at Berkeley, Cal., on Dec. 20. When the club marches on the fields the plan is to wear jackets of navy blue with Insignia in old gold. They will be slipped on over the uniform. The coat will be a souvenir for the players and may be used as a smoking jacket. The nami of the school each man represents will be put on the sleeve, while on the breast there Will be an Insignia consisting of a rising sun with the word “East” above It. e • • Some of the smaller Indiana high school basketball teams might combine forces with remarkable results. For instancy on the spur of the moment we might suggest Boston and Bunker Hill get together. Another good combination might be Battle Ground and Waterloo. Go as far as you like.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Net Action Galore Offered Local ‘Prep’ \ .Fans as All Teams Engage in Struggles. - Eight games over this week-end is the big basket program mapped *out for Indianapolis high school squads. Four local teams,, play here tonight, while Tech goes to Greencastle comes to the Manual gym, Seymour is at Shortridge, Carmel at Broad'Ripple and Cathedral opens its season against Huntington at K. C. Hall.

On Saturday night three teams go out of the city for competition. Manual is at Rushville, Shortridge at Elwood and Ripple at Knightstown. Technical has been a disappointment so far and the club will try to Vedeem Itself at Crawfordsvilie. Coach Mueller has been working hard to perfect a combination that can score some points. Some of the best net performers also played football ancl have been a bit slow. in getting used to the hardwood. South Siders Improve Manual also ip showing improvement. The varsity squad was cut to eleven men this week. From compaMtive scores Rushville appears to be a harder nut to crack than Greencastle. Seymour is likely to prove a troublesome foe for Shortridge. Manual managed to down the southern Indiana team only after a last half rally. The north siders, although not as strong as last season, have turned In creditable performances with McNaught and Christopher showing well. Elwood is not the strongest in the State, but is far from the weakest, and Shortridge must step out Friday and Saturday jf it doesn’t want the short end of the scores. 1 First for Cathedral Cathedral, the last of the local schools to start, will take on Huntington Catholic at K. of C. Hall. Cathedral won from this club twice last year, but 1b likely to be somewhat ragged in -Its opening scrap with an entirely new team on the court. A guess as to Cathedral’s starting line-up would be: Oerlach and W. Carver, forwards; Fitzgerald, center: Tynan and Teazel, guards. The squad consists of eleven men. Broad Ripple will try to offset some Os Its earlier defeats by victories over Carmel and Knightstown. Week-End College Tilts TONIGHT Frank'in at Purdue. lowa at Notre Dame. Miami at Earl ham.

LOCKE IS GOOD IN 2 SPORTS Nebraska Man Makes Track and Football Mix in Effective Manner. Bv NEA Service LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 18.—To be a star in track and football is somewhat out of the orginary nowadays. For the two sports as a rule don’t mix. Track celebrities, especially sprinters, hardly can afford to take a chance on playing the gridiron pastime, for an injury might possibly reader them unserviceable for work on the cinders. Jrue, there are exceptions to the football-track rule. One of the most outstanding, perhaps, Is Gordon Locke, sensational sprinter of Nebraska University and captain-elect of the 1926 thin-clad team. “Doubles” Well Locke not only twinkles in the dashes on the track aggregation, but he’s a pretty nifty footballer, too. Fact is, he was one of the stars of the 1925 Comhusker eleven. Locke can turn the century and furlong events In close to record time. He’s one ofthe fastest sprinters Nebraska ever has boasted. Obviously, his great speed makes him an especlt ly valuable aseett on the football team. A good dodger and clever In an open field, Locke Is extremely hard to bring down once he gets under way. , Among the Failures Two other western stars who tried the grid game within recent seasons didn’t meet with much success. They were Charlie Brookins, lowa, and Dan Kinsey, Illinois, both hurdlers. Kinsey received an Injury which for a time threatened to put him out of track. Others also have failed. Track team coaches, generally speaking, don’t like to have th<*r star sprinters and hurdlers go in for football. And they usually discourage it.

Hubbard has quite a record as a basket player and is rated a fast forward. WABASH-I. U. Coach Dean Searches for Right Crimson Combination. Bv United Press BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Dec. 18.— Stung by the defeat suffered at the hands of De Pauw, Indiana University’s basketball quintet has been getting in some hard practice sessions for the Wabash game here Saturday.

FEATHER CROWN BATTLE Champion , Kaplan Slight Favorite in Bout With Babe Herman Tonight. Bv United Press NEW YORK, Deo. 18.-—Louis (Kid) Kaplan, the stocky little Connecticut fighter, who received the world’s featherweight crown on a platter from the New York boxing commission, will defend the championship in Tex Rickard’s new garden tonight against Babe Herman, the California challenger. They are scheduled to go fifteen rounds to a decision and Kaplan was a six to five favorite today in the betting to retain his title. There was some question whether Kaplan could make the weight and be himself, but the Inspectors of the commission reported that they were both under weight and in good condition.
