!iiiiiiimnnuiiiiiu!inmmnnnioiiraiiminniimiiiiuiiißnramiffl!M \tirrin’ the DOPE By VEDDER GARD

SHIS Is the last day of a sport year that has been one of the greatest in history. That sounds like the old story retold annually. But each year it Is true. It appears as though each succeeding year is to be “bigger and better” than the last. The United States populace has a constantly increasing desire to play and to see others play. . Stadiums can not be built large enough to take care of the crowds that want to see the football games. Golf Is being taken up by young and old and “in-betweens.” New courses are constantly being, built. Tennis is booming as at no other time. Horse racing grew by leaps and bounds as new tracks sprung up in many cities. Fabulous sums were hung up as purses. Auto racing also developed to a point where the best drivers gave all their time Ito the dangerous sport in different harts of the country. | Baseball, at least, held its own no sign of diminishing interest with games being played every day. Track athletics got a tremendous boost when Nurmi came to this country. Basketball lias started one of its greatest seasons with new converts being made each day and the game becoming more standardized in all sections. In fact all of the so-called minor sports are flourishing along with the others. Hockey is springing into life in the United States. 1925 was a wonderful period of progress and the trend is upward in years to come. • * * Lay off, Major Griffith, lay off! What makes you so sore at baseball? You know how “mad” you get when somebody takes a dirty crack at intercollegiate sport. * * * SHE sport fans like to see the under dog rise up in wrath and take a large bite out of a rival that usually holds the upper hand. In basketball this season the followers of this great Hoosier pastime are chortling in glee over the showing of Evansville and Manchester Colleges. Most attention is being paid the North Manchester (Ind.) boys here In Indianapolis because of their defeat of Butler, which was followed by a victory over Franklin. It isn’t because anybody especially wants to see Butler or Franklin downed, but just because they want the “little fellow” to turn the tables. Human nature is built along those lines. The Manchester success reminds one of the Franklin Idea carried out In the past when the Franklin High School team enrolled en masse ,&t<.Franklin College along with the’ cpach,-Griz Wagner. It Is that g<?od North Manchester High School team which is . playing for Manchester College these da Some are freshmen. And the high school coach is now the college coach. j Butler would like to play Manchester at the fairground if such a game can be arranged. There is no doubt but that the contest would be a fine drawing card. Such a game is more than a possibility.

After careful research we have come to the conclusion that basketball players make one remark to the officials more than any other. It Is this—-“I never touched him.” This statement follows a foul, usually called for hacking or holding. And it is said in all honesty. • • • OUNCSE HIGH SCHOOL basketball team seems to have that pleasing faculty of coming with a rush in the second half- The Bearcats defeated Frankfort in an overtime game Wednesday after trailing, 16- to 10 at the close of the first period. , At Martinsville last week Muncie appeared out-classed In the first half only to hold the Artesian City five on even terms in the final period. Martinsville won, however. Frankfort In its defeat has consolation in the fact that Captain Plunkett was out of the game because of injuries. * * * Tommy Orooke will be an umpire in the International League next season. Laugh that off! ♦ * j HAT was that fellow's name who took a chance? ■I Just before anybody gets too excited about taking the State high school basketball final tourney away from Indianapolis, let us tell you our hunch. The title games this year are very likely to stay right here. . We claim to have no official knowledge of how llie wind blows, but make the prediction that the fairground again will be the scene of action in the battle for highest Hoosier prep honors. The plan to take the meet away from Indianapolis is more than an Idle threat, and very likely s will be carried out—but this year—No. That’s our opinion of it. • • • Horemans can hold that 18.2 balkline billiard title until Jan. 8, anyway. Schaefer and the Belgian meet again in Chicago on Jan./4, 5 and 6. It will be a 1,500-point match, played in blocks of 500 each. t

were two and oneI' I' I half captains on the I * | Missouri University basket* ball squad that played Butler here Tuesday night. McQueen, a forward, is the leader of next spring’s baseball team. Then, of course, there was McMillan, the basketball captain. Bacchus, who jumped center, is the one-half part of it. lie was tied in the vote for football captain with Pete Jackson. The two will divide the duties next J*.' . . ’ 'Vs ' 1

INTERSECTIONAL GRIDIRON CLASH FRIDAY LOOKS LIKE TOSS-1

DAVIS VS. ALTE IN MAIN GO Wiggins Hurt and Harter Signs Feathers for Feature Friday Afternoon. Matchmaker Harter of the Washington A. C. has been forced to change his main go for Friday afternoon at Tomlinson Hall owing to Injuries received by Chuck Wiggins, who was slated to meet John Rlsko. Don Davis, Coast featherweight, who is now fighting out of Chicago, has been matched with Merle Alte, local scrapper, for the ten-round feature New Year’s afternoon. The remainder of the Friday program stands as booked. Davis and Alte mixed in a furious bout in Chicago recently on a Christmas fund card and Harter himself lucky to have these boys substituting for him. It is said Jim ’Mullen, Chicago promoter, had planned to use Davis and Alte In a show at East Chicago, but withdrew his offer in order to help out Harter In the Indianapolis event. Hurt White Wrestling Wiggins was injured while training at the Arcade gym. He was wrestling with a huge sparring partner as part of his work and strained a tendon during a struggle on the mat. Chuck was forced to remain in bed Wednesday afternoon instead of boxing, and "Wednesday night physicians said the local light heavy would not be able to go through with the Friday fistic engagement. Therefore the Wiggins-Risko bout was cancelled and Davis and Alte substituted.’ It Is said Chuck and John will be re-matched for a later show here. Due to the fact Wiggins and Risko are off the Friday card. Prompter Harter has dropped prices to $1 and $2. Fans desiring refund on tickets can get same at the Clarke and Cade Claypool drug store. Fans holding ringside tickets will fbe reimbursed $1 and can have tickets adjusted at the drug store or at the Tomlinson Hall box office. Request for refunds must be made, of course, before the show. Davis Experienced Don Davis is expected to give the slugging Alte a whale of a match If Chicago reports as to his prowess are not exaggerated. According to Harter, Davis has met many -prominent boys, including Babe Herman, Phil Kaplan, Sammy Mandell, Joey Clein, Jose Lombardo, Frankie Garcia, Johnny Herman and Jimmy Lewis. Merle Alte made a solid hit in two appearances before Chicago ring fans. He recently fought sensational scraps with Ray Rychell and Davis and probably will get a feature bout at East Chicago, Jan. 15, If he again shows well against Davis here.

Alabama University and Washington Football Teams All Set for Tournament of Roses Feature. Ry Times Special LOS ANGELES, Dec. 31.—When Washington meets Alabama in the Tournament of Roses interseetional grid game at Pasadena New Year’s afternoon, two well-coached teams, versed in all styles of play, will fight it out for supremacy.

Washington boasts a great backfield. Quarter Back Guttermsen and Half Back G. Wilson were selected by practically every football expert in their section for the All-Pacific eleven. Full Back Tesreau was a close second to Nevers as the star at that position. G. Wilson also was •an all-American choice. The line is one of the best ever produced on the coast. It consistently outplayed the forwards of both Stanford and California. Wallace Wade of Alabama is recognized as one of the outstanding mentors of the South. He is a great believer In fundamentals, work and team play. Hubert Star The big field general is “Pooley” Hubert, quarter back. His generalship is largely responsible for the team’s wonderful record during the past three years. He will play his swan song in Pasadena on New Year’s day. Six other members of the team will also play their last game for (heir alma mater. They are Mack Brown, one of the South's greatest broken field runners; Gillls, another llashy half back: Capt. Bruce Jones, guard; Big Bill Buckler, another guard; Hudson, end; Camp, tackle. Brown, Hubert and Buckler were allSouthern this year, while Jones barely missed the mythical eleven. Alabama's line averages iround 200 pounds, but the back Held averages less than 175 pounds. Hubert

and Caldwell are the biggest backs. Brown, /Barnes, captain-elect, and Rosenfeld' are jackrabblts that are hard to stop, Alabama’s blocking Is superb and the remarkable interference has enabled the backs to scamper across the enemy’s goal line many a time. Washington Arrives The Washington eleven arrived in Pasadena this morning, and was to take a short workout at the Rose bowl this afternoon. Alabama was to take the field after the Huskies were finished with their drill. According to those in charge 3C.000 tickets had been sold Wednesday night and a capacity crowd of 52,008 is expected’ on New Year’s day. Alabama has made quite an impression in practice and although Washington has been ruling a slight favorite the game is generally regarded as a toss-up and odds are expected to be even as the teams Une up for the kick-off.

Grid King of Old Passes Away

Bv Times Special NEW YORK, Dec. SI-—’Thirty-five years ago the sport world was ringing with the praises of "the greatest football player of all time,” a slender, Yale freshman named Frank A. Hlnkey, chosen for the all-American his first year in college in the days when freshmen played varsity ball. Football coaches gathered In this city for a series of conferences were sorrowed Wednesday by word from Southern Pines, N. C., that Frank Hinkey was dead. There were few among them who did not agree that despite all the years between and the development of the game, “Silent” Hlnkey still ranks as the “greatest football end of all time.” Asa linesman, an end who could not be blocked or taken out, and who hur|pd the 200 pound giants of his day to the ground with such force that many were incapacitated, there is no doubt of Hlnkey’s supremacy over all that went before or have played the game since his time. And he never weighed more than 120 pounds. Hinkey had no use for publicity, but this did not nrevent him being picked on the all-American four years in succession, and being elected captain of Yale's football team for his last two years In college.

ANOTHER BRIGHT YEAR " IN BASEBALL BUSIN* Close Races In Majors Cause Diamond Sport tc£ —World's Series Weather Worst Disappoin^H

Ril United Tress NEW YORK, Dec. 31.—Major league baseball had another year of success and prosperity In 1925. The game flouriabed with hot pennant races In the two big circuit*, The light the Washington Sonntors had In the American League to beat off the Philadelphia Athletics and the impressive victory of the young Pittsburgh Pirates over the New York Giants in the National League stimulated Interest generally In the game. It was unfortunate the world’s series was spoiled by beastly weather, but nothing was lost but comfort as the stands were packed for the games and anew record for receipts was established. Close Earlier The bad weather encountered in Pittsburgh convinced some of the major league magnates that the season should be closed earlier and It was decided to close the schedule next year on Sept. 28 and to start the world’s series Sept. 28 or 29. To avoid the danger of Interruption by darkness, It also was voted to start the world’s series games at 1:30 Instead of 2 o’clock. The result of the National League pennant race was pleasing, particularly to the fans around the circuit who had tired of the protracted domination of the New York Giants. The Pittsburgh Pirates had a fine young team and they were deserving champions. They had to fight hard to win and they would have a harder battle if the Giants had not suffered a distressing run of accidents and bad breaks that almost wrecked the 1 club completely. Yanks Fall Down The collapse of the New York Yankees was the outstanding development of the American League season. Wally Pipp went so bad that he had to be replaced at first by Buster Gehrig. Deacon Scott slowed up so much that he was traded to the Senators and Babe Ruth's trouble demoralized the club The Babe had to be brought home from the training camp on a stretcher and he was in the hospital for weeks in the early season after an operation. The surprisingly good showing of the Philadelphia Athletics was as unexpected as the collapse of the Yankees. Mack’s youngsters fought it out with the Senators until the last quarter of the season when the team fell Into a long losing streak. Excellent pitching by the veterans, amusements
