\riRRIN’ m the DOPE I By VEDDEB GARP
~~~JWTED —One football coach. YJy Address Indiana University, Bloomington, Ind. There’s a job that many do not want. The State school has beene called by some the “graveyard of coaches.’’ It Is a job for a man with courage, determination and super-leader-ship. A coach alone can not pull the Crimson up into the sunlight of football victory. Grid conquests are helped along by an efficient coach, but there is something deeper than that. Foothal conquests start with . the very spirit of the school—an inherent something in the students, the faculty and the alumni which drives a team on to herculean efforts. In the meeting of Indiana University alumni and faculty athletic committee members Friday night a great deal was said about the "will to win." A victorious team must certainly have that ingrained in the minds of all players. But such a condition comes usually through years of success. I. U. has no %uch heritage on the football field. If only a Crimson club could have one big winning the situation might change. ™ls some coach, by the very force of his personality, could imbue Ills men with the idea that I hey were better than opponents the football situation would start on an upward trend. But that coach must have the material to start with. Competition Is almost overwhelming in the Big Ten except for remarkable teams. Most every one thinks he ail about sports. Alumni are noted for thinking if they were just in charge of athletics things would boom. They believe they know more about football than a man who is making it his business. Bui all alumni have to do is put forward ideas. The hardest part of any idea is putting it across. The enthusiasm of grads is commendable, but at times their ignorance of the real difficulties, is almost amusing. ludi&na U. needs a coach right pow. But a coach alone can not make a winner. The school in all its phases must make a winner. The atmosphere of winning must prevail—just how Indiana will reach htat stage is a problem. Kind Providence must take a hand and give the Crimson a push at the start. • • • Again we wish to assure the basketball fans of many towns that the regional and final high school schedules are really drawn. The teams are not "seeded’’ in Bby way. Tho slips are taken a hat. It was C. F. Albaugh’s lid this time. * • • i""—INK of the most Heetie Ohigh school basketball struggles in the history of the Hoosier State was played at Bedford Friday r’ght when the Stone City outfit defeated Frankfort, 34 to 31. In the first half Boots of Frankfort held the ball for six minutes by actual timing while the Bedford team refused to come down the floor in an attempt to take it from him. The lads of Coach Ivy evidently had been coached not to attempt to break up a stalling game and they permitted Boots to keep possession of the ball. The big fellow stood still with the ball while the fans went wild. At the time Franfort was leading, 15 to 9. The Bedford fans swarmed around the boundary lines of the floor in an uproar while Boots stood still and all the players waited. The scene grew wilder and wilder. Some fans got up and left while others hissed and yelled. The refere kept walking around the outer edge of the court to keep spectators from the floor. Finally when bedlam had let loose and about a minute before the half ended Boots put the ball into play. 1| 'Bedford in the last half came Rvith a rush and defeated the champs. It was'a large evening. ** * . It is Kokomo or Marion that is the hard luck team this year. Those two clubs rated,by many as among the best in- Indiana will meet in the regional at Kokomo if they win their previous contests. One cannot come to Indianapolis for the finals, no matter what happens.

HAYMAKERS THAT MADE HISTORY WHEN TUNNEY FLATTENED CARPENTIER
By Joe Williams NEA Service Writer S CRASHING left-hook that unwound itself like a darting snake and landed flush on the chin of George Carpentier set Gene Tunney definitely on the road to greatness, a road he is still traveling. The record books will tell you Tunney knocked out Carpentier in the fifteenth round of their memorable battle in the Polo Grounds July 24, 1924. But it was a smashing knockdown punch in the tenth that told Georges he was a beaten man. Only his fighting spirit, that amazed 30,000 fans, carried the

At the count of nine he was up—up, but "out.” Tunney had ceased to be a single, active fighter for Georges Carpentier—he was a hazy procession of Tunneys that danced around as the Frenchman’s befogged brain sought to focus the scene before him.

Even •with a promised -seating capacity of 100,000, they will, find, like the East, that it is largely a private game and the street parade of the Cadets and the Midshipmen will be as much of the ceremonies as thousands will be able to see.

The Army and the Navy, jt was promised when arrangements were being made, will get 40,000 tickets each, and out of their 20,000 the civilian committee handling the game will have to take care of city and 'State officials, politicians and everyone who put his name on the petition that helped get the game.

But Gene released a hard upper* cut that rang as true as the home run of a Ruth or a Cobb. Georges reeled into the ropes. Referee Griffin stepped up to lead the suffering fighter to the corner. But Carpentier, battered, bleeding, beaten, waved him away. Griffin stepped back in astonishment, and Georges returned to the fight. Three uppercut and another smashing left to the jaw and was down again. Somehow he got to his feet. Tunney, thoroughly tired, tried to finish his work. A blow that was little more . than a push sent Carpentier to the 1 mat for the fourth time. And then came the bell. Georges lasted the next three rounds because Tunney was too exhausted to hit a solid blow. Aqd in the fourteenth Tunney put all his strength Into a left to the body that sent Carpentier to the floor as the bell rang. . But Georges came out for tho fifteenth not even v able to stand erect and Referee Griffin- led him back to his corner, closing a dra- , matic fight that really had ended in the tenth, when Tunney unleashed that ripping left to the jaw.
