TIRRIN’ the DOPE By VEDDER GARP

, rpil WO sophomore football stars I of the Big Ten are carrying i * J their scintillating activities onto the basketball court. Molemla of Michigan grid fame made fifteen points for the Wolverines the other night against Pittsburgh University netters. Wilcox of Purdue helped defeat De Pauw and Franklin. A good football player often is too crude for the clever hardwood court game, but when an athlete is good in both branches of sport he is the ideal type. It proves he is shifty—which, in other words, means COORDINATION of muscles. Given one wish —that would be the athlete's choice. ♦ • • . v LIGHTNING dribble and 1 A I and a bounce pass under the basket—a flash and a swish of tile net—two points. That’s Wanley of Connersville High School, one of the fastest streaks we have ever seen on the Hoosier prep courts. The little fellow played his first game Friday night against Rushville. He’s going to cause plenty of trouble before the season Is over. fe W The horizontal champion, Fred Fulton, assumed his recumbent position some eight or nine times in his fight with Godfrey Friday night in Minneapolis. He called it a night In the fifth round after demonstrating to the fans that he is still the “best” at his own particular specialty. * * * mIM CORBETT. former heavyweight champ, who is appearing at a local vaudeville theater, gave a short talk at the Indianapolis Athletic Club Friday noon in which he said that a set of boxing gloves and a good instructor was one way to use up the surplus energy of the wild youth of today. Jim is very likely right, but a youth must have the inclination first and his desires seem to run in different channels these days. We are in favor of a law that would permit the use of a lasso to rope in the drug store cowboys. They would have to be dragged into a gym before the process of making men out of them could be started. , • ♦ • The prize fight ring has some “terrible” champions—and list among them Kid Kapian. * * • SHE county high school basketball fans are worrying. Southport has twice fron the cup that is presented to he team coming through the annual tourney at Tomlinson hall. If a team cope the cup three times it obtains permanent possession of the trophy. Southport is reported to have a strong outfit this season and has a change to take the cup home “for keeps.” The youngsters need not be aiarmed, however, because Ross Smith, who presented the original trophy, says if Southport takes the cup another one will be forthcoming. • • • GROUP of Rose’s Midgets, I A\| a PP eaT here next week at a local movie theater, was at the Rushvllle-Con-nersville basketball game Friday night. The little fellows’ eyes actually bulged out as they watched the players dash frantically about the hardwood court. Astonishment was the chief reaction to the great Hoosier sport. The expressions on the "Tom Thumb” countenances were actually ludicrous. They probably will have great tales to tell back in their native land of the strange customs and games of the Americans. A screaming crowd —ten youths dashing up and down —a round ball bouncing on the floor and tossed through the air—a man in white breeches tooting a whistle — all very peculiar, indeed. We would have given more than a penny for the thoughts of the I midgets as they gazed fascinated at basketball. • • • Those two great high school basketball teams, Frankfort and Martinsville, stepped on the gas Friday night. It was thumbs down and no mercy was shown. The champs scored 86 points against Columbus. The Artesian City Club counted 53 against Anderson. • • • Well, anyway, if Purdue did beat the Hoosier A. C. swimmers it took an Indianapolis youth to aid In turning the trick. Johnny Dithnier, a Boilermaker sophomore, carried off individual honors in the meet, taking two first and swimming anchor in both relay events. * * * It is beginning to look as though Purdue inay have the class of the State In eollege basketball. Jolly came through in splendid fashion at back guard against Franklin. Tlie defense has been one of Coach chief worries.

FIVE FIELD GOALS —ra lENEVER football 1 ana and critics VY/ gather and gossip drifts to great W players, past and present, there —— is one who always cpmes in for o enty of praise. . , _ . I refer to Walter Eokersall, former Chicago star and generally eoneeded to be the greatest quarter back of all time Eckersall played with the Maroons from 1003 to lHOii. inol iiv< . Fleet afoot, splendid punter, great defensive back and a heady held general, be possessed all the necessary requisites that go to make a real gridder. . . ... EokersaU's collegiate career teemed with srnHalional feats—runs field goals, dc-fen-sve performnm-s. He was one of the few players, if not the only one ever te catch the speedy Heston from behind. And he did that after is-ing' temporarily put out of tho play by Graver Heston's body guard during one of Willie's thrilling runs in theli)o3 Mic higan-Chicago game.

In 1904. Eekersall caught a Wisconsin kickolt and dashed 100 yards through the entire Badger eleven for a touchdown, one of the longest runs on record. And against Michigan the nime <eason he turned In a 76-yard canter for a tally. Kckers all tier ha os gained his most fame through his uncanny ability to kick held goals. He v.-as a sure shot :ui.vwhere inside the 45-yard lines. On two occasions lie booted five field goals in a single tame, against Nebraska in 1005 and against Illinois the following season. Eckers ill made the AL American twice, tviug one of 'he f w Midd'. We— ip l i ■ ers to be so honored in those days when the late Walter Camp confined his selections almost solely to eastern teams.

FEATHER TITLE GO IS TAME Kaplan Retains Crown in Poor Bout With Herman —Action Lacking. By Henry L. Farrell United Preee Staff Correennndent NEW YORK, Dec. 19.—“ There are a couple of old men who ought to go back to work and get some of this easy dough,” Jimmy Johnston, the "boy bandit” of Broadway, remarked today. “One of them ia old man Kilbans and the other is old man Dundee.” Johnston’s opinion reflected that of 16,000 fans who sat In on a terrlhle fifteen-round bout in Tex Rlekurd's Garden Friday night between Kid Kaplan and Babe Herman for the world's featherweight tltls. “Tourney” Champ KaplHn received the decision of the two judges and the referee. Kaplan became the recognized champion of his class when the New York commission organized a tournament among the contenders to find a successor to Johnny Dundee, resigned. All the class that Kaplan showed as a fighter Friday night was a heavy scowl on his face, and Herman showed less. The champion milled and mauled around through twelve of the fifteen rounds, hut he usually was moving forward, and It was his aggressiveness, no doubt, that prompted (he officials to give him the decision. Fought in August Last August the same hoys fought for the title In Waterbury. Conn., and the referee called it a drew. With the exception of those who bet on Kaplan, almost everyone thought that Herman should have been given the decision and the title in the August bout. Herman fought Friday night as if he had no memory of the previous affair. He was dropped twice when lie was caught off balance and he appeared (o content to let the champion do all the leading and forcing. The bout drew a house of $54,000.
