the DOPE J By VEDDER QARD

> 'iNE for the book was pulled I ln the North western-Michi-I gan basketball game last week. A Purple player standing out of bounds under Northwestern basket threw the ball ln and it caught ln the hanging net. The meshes whipped the ball upward and the ball fell Into the basket. The referee did not allow the goal. Why not? The official might have thought the ball went up through the bottom of the basket and then dropped through. In such a case the goal, of course, would not count. Otherwise we see no reason why it would • not have scored two points for Michigan. The player who threw the ball, according to accounts, said the ball went through from the top. It should have counted. • * • mOCKEY W. GARNER is riding in great form at New Orleans. The little fellow is going in better style right now than his brother Mb.ck ever showed. Willie rode only one winner Friday at the Fairgrounds track but he was on three others that finished second. He is getting quite a following at the southern course. * * * flf Indiana U. basketballers n keep on playing in the cond half tonight at lowa they should win. The Crimson players have failed to maintain the pace in some contests. That was the reason for the Wisconsin defeat. * * * IARTMOUTH football players were out for practice Friday with snow a foot deep covering the gridiron. It was the first call of Coach Jess Hawley who believes in starting EARLY.

E. Bright plays one forward and A. Bright the other. light is at center and Albright at guard. Central probably saves quite a bit on electric light bills. The gym is illuminated by the team.

rr*l OGANSPORT High School ILI roln P ed on Rochester FriL~J day night. The Logansport club should be called the Midgets. The team has four of the littlest forwards in captivity. They are so small that Coach Wells alternates the quartet. All of ’em step on the gas and set a dazzling pace. With more size the club would j be extremely dangerous. A good man is better than a good man in most instances. It a sport maxim that holds true, although there are notable exceptions in basketball. But the small net stars are usually of chunky build. They are not slight of frame —just short in height. Two good examples are De Vol of Wabash College and Chadd of Butler. • * * THE SCOREBOARD LOO Following’ shows tho successive changes In the figures on the scoreboard dur.ng the Butler-I)o Pauw net game at the fairground last, night.

The conditlon of the ball is up to the referee, but among an official’s requirements there is nothing which says be must have a mental air gauge. He knows if a hall la tight and round, but he cannot tell exactly whether a ball is pumped up extra tight or whether It Is slightly loose. We have heard of teams "foxing" opponents by letting some of. the air out of a ball. There are tricks in all trades. In the Big Ten conference there is a rule which states that the ball must be blown to an air pressure of thirteen pounds. The latest thing ln athletic paraphernalia Is an air gauge fcfr basketballs. It can be set at the pressure desired and the ball can be blown only to that mark. The air Is pumped through the gauge into the ball. * • * kI'JT'IUTLER College basketball i O I team ,est at 2 p - nl - to day UtHmJ for its game with Dayton U. tonight.

EIGHT NET FIVES OF WESTERN CONFERENCE IN ACTION TONIGHT

MARION UPSETS KOKOMO Games Run True to Form — Martinsville, Frankfort in Victories. (By United Press) Indiana high school basketball fans today were wondering what happened over the State ln game* played Friday night for, unusual as It seems, the waters ln the dope bucket were hardly rippled and only in one or two Instances did the old bucket tip. Martinsville and Frankfort, the two outstanding contenders for the State title, ran true to form, with Marlon furnishing the only major upset by handing defeat to the strong Kokomo five. Tech-Manual At Fairground Tonight, 8:15 Technical. „ Manual. Hickman F Marshall Massey F Marlin Tnompson C Harmeeon Balu ror Swain ... . G Cruse Glunt G Brandt Rushville proved unable to cope with Muncle’s powerful attack and once again Matt veteran Bearcat forward, broke into the limelight. The score was Muncie, 40; Rushville, 15. Vincennes proved unequal to the task of ’breaking the Martinsville winning streak and the Allcetown crew went back home on the short end of a 49 to 32 count Coach Everett Case unleashed his Frankfort machine against Central of Evansville and the Pocket-crew tasted defeat by a score of 56 to 28. Kokomo had been a top heavy favorite to stop the Marlon "Giant” but Coach Thomas' lads walked away from the runners-up In last year’s title chase, winning, 44 to 34. Not to be out done by the boys at Franklin College, the Franklin High School squad also returned to oldtime form and vanquished Shelhyville, an ancient rival, by a score of 43 to 26. Columbus and Bedford, as had been expected, put up a great battle and It was not until five minutes of overtime had been played that Columbus triumphed, 34 to 33. Cliff Wells pushed his Logansport crew to a “win” over the Rochester .quintet, scoring a 31 to 14 victory.

U. which has ruled supreme over them in three out of four games played during the last three years. However, in the number of total points scored, Indiana leads by only five points.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ROMANCE OF TENNIS Alfred Chapin Weds Charlotte Hosmer in San Francisco. Bu Timet Special SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 16.—A romance that began last summer when Alfred H. Chapin and Charlotte Hosmer met during eastern tennis tournaments resulted ln the issuance of a marriage license to the couple here Friday. Chapin of Springfield, Mass., and a protege of “Bill” Tilden, gave his age as 24. Miss Hosmer, ranked second among Pacific Coast women tennis players, is 23. t FEDERAL AID Amateur Ball Heads Urge Commission Control. Bu United Prett DETROIT, Jan. 16.—A Federal recreation cotnmisaion to supervise all branches of amateur sport ln America and to prepare for the Olympic games of 1928 is the first definite development to come from the National Amateur Baseball Federation convention here. The proposal is sponsored by Clayton C. Townes, former mayor of Cleveland, and is revival of a previous movement that was sidetracked by the war. "A fact not generally known," Townes said, “is that last year for the first time in the history of baseball, the sale of golf supplies exceeded the sale of baseball supplies. "Our plan contemplates a request for an initial appropriation of SIOO,OOO by Congress to establish and finance State subsidiaries. A conference will be sought with Secretary of Commerce Hoover and the proposal pushed at the present session of Congress.”

PIPP IS SOLD TO REDS Yankee Yet First Baseman Transferred to National League. Bu Timet Special NEW YORK.

TEN BIG LEAGUE CLUBS TO TRAIN IN FLORIDA Not So Long Now Until Majors Head South for Preliminary Work—Usual Number of Hold-Outs.

Bu Timet Sveelol NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—The embargo on Shipments of ivory to Florida will be lifted next month, when ten of the sixteen major league clubs send this season’s hopefuls to the land of palmetto trees and pamphlets for early spring training. Two clubs will train in California. Louisiana gets two; Texas, one, and Georgia, one. Many clubs have mailed out theli 1926 contracts and the season of “hold-outs” Is at hand. Already "Dutch” Ruether, dean of the “hold-out” brigade, has taken his place in the recalcitrant ranks and will lead the procession of ball players who will try to argue their harassed owners out of more money before signing up for the season. “Goose” Goslin la another who has declared himself an outlaw unless he gets a $5,000 raise. “Bucky” Harris is the only manager holdout. The Senators’ pilot is asking $50,000 for 1925. Ready to Pay Although the New York Yankees are ready to pay a quarter of a million dollars In cash and players for a good working combination around second base. Miller HugKins is getting nowhere in his es forts, and there Is less talk of trades and purchases than is customary after a profitable season. As the two leagues have as yet

Northwestern at Purdue and Indiana at lowa —Two Other Struggles. Big Ten Tonight Northwestern at Purdue. Indiana at lowa. Illinois at Ohio State Chicago at Wisconsin. Four Big Ten basketball games are on the schedule tonight, with Indiana U. and Purdue meeting strong competition. The Boilermakers take on Northwestern at Lafayette, while I. U. is at lowa City to tackle the Hawkeyes. The Hoosiers are given the edge in both battles. Other games tonight are Chicago at Wisconsin and Illinois at Ohio State. The Maroons have not been very impressive and the Badgers are easy favorites. The Illini-Buckeye scrap is considered more even. Ohio, after a mediocre pre-season showing, surprised by defeating Purdue in their first meeting, but lost to the Boilermakers in a second clash. Illinois, with a veteran outfit, is being doped the favorite over the Buckeyes. Cunningham, all-Conference center last season at Ohio State, seems to be going in the same good form. Bell ia anew man who is showing plenty of class. Illinois has presented a great defense, however, which is likely to stop the Ohio attack. Northwestern was not given a great deal of consideration in the Big Ten until the Purple held Michigan to a 32 to 30 victory in the first conference contest. That boosted the Evanston team’s stock and the Boilermakers may have a task on hand tonight. In two games played so far In the Big Ten, lowa has broken even. The Hawkeyes defeated Chicago and lost to Michigan. The home floor advantage will aid them against I. U. tonight and the Hoosiers must put on full speed ahead to win.

GAMES AT TURNER HALL Throe Contests on Card for Sunday Afternoon. Three games are on the Sunday afternoon program at Turner Hall Sunday afternon. The Turner Blues will take on the Iroquois cluh at 1:30. At 2:30 the Holliday Company girls' squad will be divided into two teams for an exhibition game. At 3:30 the Turner ‘Varsity” tackles the Diamond' Chain five.

unable to agree upon a 154game schedule that will end Sept. 28, the date for the opening games of the 1926 season has not been officially announced. It probably will be April 13. According to the rules, big league squads are limited to forty men each, but some, notably the two Chicago clubs, will be considerably over the limit as they move South and West for spring training. The Cincinnati Reds, on the other hand, have only thirty-three men in their squad. Battery Men First In practically every instance, the battery men will precede the infieldere and outfielders to camp. Most managers are prepared to do extra weeding among their pitchers and catchers, and so have them earlier on the ground. Many players and several managers who will train In Florida already are on the scene, busy selling real estate and perhaps resenting a little the intrusion of baseball upon their business. John McGraw, Miller Huggins, George Slsler and other managers will await the arrival of their charges at Sarasota, St. Petersburg and Tarpon Springs. "Babe” Ruth will be one of the earliest to start southward. The Yankee slugger, pointing toward a "comeback,” Is going to Florida in February, and promises to play thirty-six holes of golf every day until the training season starts.
