S'llPllllllin™ TIRRIN’ I the DOPE r By VEDDER GARD
{_ "rjE hope in some dim distant |\X/j date to brush out our whis--1 | kers and go see Butler play an ice hockey game in a fine new rink. The sport would surely go big in this State. Its fundamentals are very much like basketball. Athletic Director Page of Butler is enthusiastic about the game. While East at the national meetings Page saw Montreal and Princeton play at Madison Square Garden. He says that the Canadians’' style of play on the ice, with three men down the center, reminded him strongly of Franklin College on the basketball court. Michigan University officially opened its new skating rink on Wednesday with “Faculty night.” More than 700 members of the faculty and their families enjoyed the glaring ice in the new arena. A hockey rink has been installed. JtVe’re just going on talking about hockey until somebody fixes up 4 a rink in Indianapolis. If not next year, then the next or the next or the next. * * * SETTERS and cards continue to pour in thanking The Times for broadcasting tile Butler-Missouri and But-ler-Franklin basketball games. Even the dogs like it. A letter from Lizton, Ind., comes from “Tile Gang” who listened in at W. C. Storms’ hardware store. It was written on brown wrapping- paper (a pound of threepenny nails, please), and on the list of names was “En Biggs and dog Fido.” * * * It begins to look as though “Bo” Molenda, Wolverine crashing full back, has made the Michigan basketball team. He is slated to start at guard in the first Big Ten contest at Northwestern, Saturday. Bennie Oosterbaan, All-American end, is on the squad. \. • * * THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES WILL BROADCAST THE DE-PALW-BUTLER GAME ON JAN. 15, THROUGH STATION WFBM, 268 METERS. BLYTHE HENDRICKS WILL DO THE ANNOUNCING. * * * mT is indeed a real pleasure to receive a letter like the following from Mrs. Hugh Middlesworth, mother of Wally, assistant Butler coach. Gentlemen; Having- attended most of the Butler ball games for several years and then to be shut In as I am. It certainly was a real pleasure to listen <n last night. Mr. Hendricks’ broadcasting waa so vivid, that knowing the Butler boys as I do, one could imagine witnessing the game. Thanking Mr. Hendricks. The Times and WFBM and hoping they will keep UP the good work, X wish them a very prosperous New Tear. Sincerely. MBS. HUGH MIDDL.ESWORTH. ** * -
A letter from George Reynolds of Martinsville thanks the Times for broadcasting basketball, but makes one request as follows: “Tell Mr. Hendricks for me that he sure knows how to broadcast basketball, but to please not broadcast another game like the Muncle-Martinsville contest last spring in the final high school tourney.” * * * SIB other day we heard some college boys complaining. Each one had some nard luck story—or anyway, thought so. In reality their troubles were so trivial when weighed against buoyant health and spirits that the doleful countenances were funny, not tragic. A couple were athletes with fancied grievances. We were reminded of William Makepeace Thackeray’s poem, “The Garret." In our mind we changed it, to “The Gym.” We hope those young men read this last stanza of that poem. Let us begono—the place is sad and strange— How far, far off, these happy times appear: All that I have to live I’d gladly .change For one such month as 1 have lasted here— And drink all life's quintessence in an hour. Give me the days wher. I was twentyone I * * * Anybody want to go to the fourth annual ski tournament of the Grand Beach Ski Club next / Sunday at • Grand Beach, Mich.? We have six complimentary tickets from Secretary C. Oscar Hiis. Ragnar Omtvedt is the president of the organization. Any on'e pronohneing these name/; correctly may have a ducat. We don’t know how, either. It just has to sound reasonable. '■'* ** * " \V 7l K ' vou *dn’t mention any W names—not for the world. He’s a little fellow—but mighty. Neither would we mention/“change” In his presence—not unless we felt like a battle. But—just between us—on tliat Butler trip to lowa City, Pat Page left ninety cents at his table as a tip to the waiter. A * certain person—not mentioning any names—picked up the money and ran after Page, yelling, “Hey, you left your change!” * * Here’s a chance for the gatecrashers. They'll be trying to borrow Boy Scout uniforms on Saturday night. All the Scouts in form will be admitted free to the Earlham game at... the auto show building, State--fairground. The prices for the contest will be 75 cents general admission and $1 for reserved seats. * * * eERE’S one sure way for Florida to become Unpopular. The reformers are on a rampage In Tampa. The dog. races haYe been stopped. The fata of boxing may be determined in Tampa, if not in the State, in a test case scheduled for today. There seems to be an anti-prize fight law In Florida. The reformers will get you, Florida, if you don’t watch out!*

AN UNUSUAL GOAL I -i HE of the oddest field goals I ever /“'V | have seen was Kicked in the II II famous Michigan-Pennsylvania game at Ann Arbor in 1911. A miniature blizzard had swept into the Michigan hamlet that morning. It was bitter cold and a strong wind was blowing across Kerry field at game time. Obviously tlie day was anything, but ideal lor football. Along about the middle of the fracas Penn got down to the Michigan 20-yard stripe. There the Yost machine braced, however, and the Quakers elected to try for a field goal against the wind. Back to the 29-yard line stepped the Penn kicker—l think it waa Dick Marshall—anti swung his expert hoof into the leather. The boot was a good one. the ball sailing .straight between the posts and over the cross-bar.
As it floated-over the bar a gust of wind causrht and held it just above the <Toas-pirue, momentarily. The ball then dropped behind the bar for a goal but. a it did <>, another gnat of wind oame along and blow it ten yards out into the field of play. That unusual eoal crave the easterners a 9 to 5 lead which they all but held for thr* rr<n of the brush. With a few minutes left to p>ay igan Worked the ball to the Penn 2*>-yard stripe. And. in those ebbing moments, the Yostmen pulled one of their antiquated delayed paseev. sending the fleet Jimmy /Ora’ar around rigrht end for a touchdown. Michigan winning’, 11 to 9.
