\riRRIN’ Y the DOPE By VBDDEItGARD

—>x Franklin (College's basI A I ketball pep meeting MonI*| day morning, Coach Wagner is reported to have said that after the Butler contest he believed Fuzzy Vandivier was through playing. The star court performer, however, showed up so well in practice that lie was started against Notre Dame. Even then Griz admits he thought Fuzzy would be good for only about five minutes in each half. Instead he played the entire game. His performance was not quite up to the old standard of the hardwood wizard —but it was PLENTY good. Now Fdzzy hopes by the closing games of the season, if nothing unfortunate occurs, to be back in the form that made him famous throughout the middle west. It 'is good news to Frarnklin, but bad for opposing clubs. It is doubtful if any, even Franklin’s greatest rivals, wish Vandivier anything but luck. The fans, for Fuzzy’s sake, want him to feel again the thrill of his former greatness and for their own selfish reasons want the thrill of witnessing a master at his work. * * * v JELL, now it’s up to the \U weather man who in this T * section of the country is as fickle as a flapper. An attempt is being made in this city to organize four ice hockey teams to play a scries of games when the weather permits. (This is a good ,day to talk about hockey.)" . 11. C. Olsen is bark 1 of (lie plan. We received a letter from him today in which he says that next Sunday a tentative game lias been arranged at Broad Ripple pool between a Riverside club and a team composed of Spades and Brooksides. Anyone interested should bring their skates and hockey sticks to Ripple next Sunday—ls it isn't a spring-like day by that time. Last Sunday in a' preliminary practice game the Riversides downed the Spades-Brooksides, 9 to 5, at the South Grove lagoon. It Is doubtful if there are any finished hockey players in this city, but there are a number of fine skaters who could learn the game. The teams that get started now will have the edge over those organized when Indianapolis, some of these days, gets a fine new in-, door rink. (Don't laugh—stranger things have happened.)

I |—, iRIENDS of Don White, for- | H | mer Purdue star, were glad 1... ...J to read today that /lib Washington U. basketball team of St. Louis had defeated the champions of the Missouri Valley Conference, Kansas U., 25 to 18./ Don has been doing very" well with his basket teams. Last year his club was tied for third place with the Kansas Aggies. The record was ten won and six lost. The club started out in great style, but slumped toward the end of the year. When Missouri U. was here to play Butler, Coach Bond of the Show-Me boys said White had been making a fine record. "He’s lucky, though,” said the Missouri mentor. A lot of people, when they first see Hoosier basketball, say the teams are lucky. They can’t understand how a team can pile up so many points. * * * The girls are supposed to set a good example. Aren’t they? At least that’s the way it used to be. Anyway, the girls’ basket ball team of Nobresvtlle is showing the boys how the game should be played. The young ladies have won seven straight contests. Their last victory was over the Anderson girls, 57 to 2. We Imow that’s better than tin Noblesville boys could have done against the Anderson boys. • • • SHE Big Ten basketball games of Monday night were doped so remarkably dose by this column yesterday that we cannot help but mention the fact. Here are the selections: Illinois will defeat Minnesota by ten points; Wisconsin will down Indiana by close margin; Michigan •will "take” lowa by five points. Here are the scores; Illinois, 17; Minnesota, 8. Wisconsin, 33; Indiana, 31. Michigan, 22; lowa, 16. • • • J r-v l) EPORTB from the far West 11\. I are to the effect that Los t—ii * Angeles business men are planning a Dempsey-Wills bout this summer. They are probably tired of seeing the champ strut bis stuff around California and want to se him knocked off even if they have to pay for it. Dempsey is said to wunt something like $500,000 guarantee. And the tired business men may be disappointed about the "knocking off” part, of the show, at that. * • * \ pedestrian is just naturally out of luck. Even the champion walker of them all, Willie Plant, is not immune.. No, an auto didn’t hit him. He was practicing his famous “heel-and-toe,” wiggling along at his very best, w’hen he stuck a three-inch sliver right through his shoe and into his foot. * * * SHE gentle art of repartee is a gift. What can make one more provoked than to try and start an argument and have the object of the belligerent remark kgree? All is calm where there should be turmoil and strife. It is most unsatisfactory. For instance, in the Notre DameFranklin basketball game the following conversation was overheard: Says Mr. Crowe of Notre Dame: “You guys ain> so tough.” Says Mr. Friddle of Franklin, what surprises me.” Sorrteway that tickles the funnybone. And the more you think of it the more ijLtiekles.

MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL POWWOW OPENS AT CATALINA ISLAND — ■

OHIO IN RETURN CONTEST Buckeyes at Purdue on Wednesday—Boilermakers Want to Even Count. Bu Thnrs Special LAFAYETTE, Ind..

WALKER LOST TO I N DIA N S Player Obtaiped From Giants Is Free Agent—Bothered . by Injury. Outfielder nojonger is on the roster of the Indianapolis Baseball Club, Manager Bush announced today. There ,was some misunderstanding tfver the status of the player and it resulted in liimbeing declared a free agent. Walker will manage a team in the South Atlantic League next season.

The Indians paid the player's expenses and salary to the end of the 1925 schedule, but probably will be re-imbursed partly by the Giants.
