7 j the DOPE WBy VEDDER GARD

rrrrio, Mrs. Malaprop has not I I moved out of the city. She P 1 | Is in Florida for the winter We received so many queries as to how the old lady was getting along that we wrote her a letter at Miami, telling her that her many friends would like to know just what she was doing. We received the following in reply: Sir —It is not my habit to communion with single gentlemen but as you are looking for inflammation I will not violent my convictions by Indicting an epistle to you. No doubt you are interested in the sports down here. Thejre are any number of them walking around. When I first got here I almost spoke to one presumed gentleman, thinking he was Hap* Oralgle. The white pantaloons fooled me. Almost everyone looks like a basketball referee. I thought surely one haughty parsonage was a referee. He had a string around his neck to which my imagination detached a whistle. But instead it was an eye-glass—a manacle such as the English pears wear with such startling defect. It reminded me of the time I heard those in attendance at a game demolish the white-pantalooned gem tlemen to get some glasses. In my own mind I never quite H|erstood whether they were inthem to abstain a drink or purchase some spectacles. ' There is not much of the hardwood you sports writers speak of down here except to dance on. In my geography Charleston is in South Caroline, but they have moved a quaint costume to Florida. It is dislocating to the performers and shocking to the reformers. No one has been injured yet physically, but I will not couch for the morales. The Atlantic sea is so large it takes quite a bit of intention and many natty natators fl saw that, in a real estate add) gamble on its broad bosom or stroll on the sandy beech. There are many wonderful sights both animate and inanimate. One must disciple oneself or lose all her money- and self respectable. There Is never any ice here except in drinks, but many slip. I have a bathing suit myself, but the skirt comes to my ankles. It caused quite a cessation. If you would like to make a little money I have a fine lot that I could let you have at a bargain. Give my disregards to Hap Craigle and wife. Most sincerely, MRS. MALAPROP. • • • We believe It was the president of Harvard who made this dirty crack about alumni who always were talking about redblooded football. The prexy said that the blood was more red when it had not passed through iftttie brain. * * f"—, IPORT crowds usually are I O I overestimated. That “5,000” I J crowd which witnessed the Indlana-Purdue basketball game cobld not have been more than 3,500. Last year the largest number to witness a game at I. U. was 3,081, according to figures given out by university officials. Seats for 200 more were added this season. • • • In the last issue of the Big Ten Weekly, Robert McMahon, of the Purdue news service, tells (he story of “Our Best Football Team.” He calls the eleven of 1892 the greatest in Boilermaker history. The picture of the team shows two stalwarts in the back iow wearing DERBIES. These two also have walrus mustaches. They had sheiks in those days, too. • * * W* must be* Indiana University basketball team's pardon. All of the press associations carried a wrong total as to the number of points scored by opponents this year. Being of Inquisitive lum of mind we figured It up for our■elvea and found that It should be 150 points Instead of 105. Rivals have scored an average of 31 1-5 points a game instead of 33. • • • Tt begins to look as though lowa will have to change that name of Hawkeyes to something more appropriate.' They surely don’t have tliose kind of eyes *hen it comes to hitting the net basketball. • * • SN DI A N APOLIS printer bowlers are expecting to make things interesting for rivals from other cities at the Union Printing Crafts Tri-State Bowling Association tourney at Cleveland, Feb. 20 to 22 ihclusive. There are a large number of real pin-getters In this city who are sure to get their share, and maybe more, of the honors In the annual meet. The deadline for entries Is set at Feb. 6 by the tourney committee and the last day entries will be accepted in Indianapolis is Feb. 1. Don’t be left out. It is thought some 100 teams from Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky will participate. Bob Heuslein of this city is president of the association, so what could be more appropriate than to have Indianapolis up at the top In the number of entries and the number of prizes brought home. • * • mUfeF fans noticed Monday that the jockey on Devastation hi * the second race at New (Means was A. Murray. Most all• of them scratched their heads and wondered who the dickens that “boy” was. But the secret is out. The “boy” was “Red Coat” Murray, 47 years old, and well known on New York and Marytracks for many years as HHne rider of the lead pony as the paraded to the barrier. “Red Coat” had not ridden since 1915. That’s one reason the price on Devastation, which won the race, was a little better than 15 to 1. The old man delivered In style. I He has been used to leading & the hunch before the race, and ■ that’s the way he finished—out Mui front.

120-Mile Classic of Far North Starts at The Pas, Manitoba. Bv United Press THE PAS, Manitoba, Jan. 26. “The classic of the snow,” the 120mile Malamute race, was to start here today. From the North country came the trapper, the trader, the hunter and the freight hauler to match his huskies against the best in the world. No lap dogs these, but brutes — vicious pulling demons —whose only task is to run like the wind and whose only reward is a bit of frozen fish at the end of the haul, charging on oft-times with ice cut feet, with shoulder harness weary, but driving on with hearts that know no quitting. Tne following teams were entered for the start of the bitter dash over the snow: Bill Grayson, 7 dogs: Earl Brydges, 7 dogs; Harry Olensky, 9 dogs; Roes Moxley, 7 dogs; Emil St. Goddard, 7 dogs. They are nationally rec<%nized as min of iron, whose race ir not only with man but with nature, who run hours on end in the teeth of a bitter wind and over a trackless course with the toughest kind of going. This year's Derby has been divided into three days of racing, forty heartbreaking miles to the day, and will call for the best man and dog has to offer in order to keep in the run ning, as the teams will be forced to sprint most of the way.

Suaanne Lenglen, world's tennis champion, will not enter the singles competition in the Nice tournament starting next Monday, and the prospects of a meeting with Helen Wills, American* champion, are again deferred. Mile. Lenglen said she could not play next week because her father is seriously ill and her first duty is to remain near him. Metropok* Victory Miss Wills survived a close match Monday against Mile. Didi Vlasto for the Metropole championship. While she gave no outward indication of alarm when her game was going so badly against Mile. Vlasto, the young American champion admitted to her mother after the match that she was worried. “I need lots of practice," she said. The exhibition of strength and endurance that she gave in the second hard set Monday when she wore down her opponent almost to the point of collapse, caused some of the critics to qualify their doubts that she would have a chance in a match against Mile. Lenglen. Lenglen Not Strong The French star always has won her matches ln so few games that she is anything but a distance player and she is not nearly as strong physically as the American girl. Playing ln Improved form, Mis* Wills won her first-round singles match of the Gallia tournament today from Miss S.’Bendit, England, at 6-1 and: 6-0. While her opponent is not a high ranking player, the form shown by the American champion was most Impressive. For the first tttne since she started playing here, she took ’.the courts with the obvious intention of opening up her game and getting it over as soon as possible. She ran away from the British girl in the first set and completely ovciwhelmed her ln the second set.
