SllllllillPllllllllM* TIRRIN’ . the DOPE By VEDDEfiGABD

rrraHILE looking at the Frank\]J lin College freshmen VY I basketball team the othey night we could not help but think how well trained some of the boy3 are in high school and with what joy the college fbotball coaches would hail a bunch of grid players who knew the fundamentals of the sport as well as do the prep net performers. Those youths out there on the basketball floor at Franklin knew their stuff. They pivoted and passed and dribbled and shot with style. Such class in prep grid players is the exception, not the rule. Indiana is young in the ways of the football field, but old in the wisdom of the hardwood. The situation is gradually improving as more prep teams yearly take to the gridiron but the time is yet far distant w'hen football W'ill reach such heights in,' coaching methods and the resultant development of prep stars as has been reached in basketball. It is doubtful if the time will over come becar.se many of the schools haven’t the facilities, number of students or money to participate in football. And added to that is a lack of inclination. Per- 1 haps ways and means could be if basketball was not king. KVhy play football? One game is "enough. That’s the way many schools look at it. * * * l E wish Mrs. Malaprop VY/ were here this week, so YY she could go to the Greenwich 'Village Follies. We would like to have her hear the big black-face comedian tell his buddie about his “very-close” veins. The old lady wrote .us another letter from Miami today censoring “Stirrin’ tlie Dope” for a misused word. She said she saw in this column where wo spoke of an anesthetic dancer when any one with any knowledge of photography at all knew that the word we meant to use was synthetic. Mrs. Malaprop must have been drinking some of that southern giru * * * M*—“”JONDAY is the day for local entries in the Union Printing Crafts Tri-State Bowling Association tourney to be held at Cleveland, Feb. 20 to 22, Entries will, close at Cleveland on midnight of Feb. 6. A round trip rate to Cleveland of one fare apd a half has been arranged on all steam roads. The rate is granted on the identification certificate plan to members of the association and dependent members of their families. One must have a certificate to take advantage of the reduced fare, ft The meet this year is expected pto draw at least 100 teams. This is just twice the number of squads Which participated in the tournament at Indianapolis in 1924 and shows clearly the rapid growth of the Association. • • • SHERB has been muclx_said recently about “stalling" in basketball games. A team which is ahead endeavors to keep control of the ball without attempting to make points. That is the definition of “stalling.” There is nothing in the rules against this practice, and it is rather difficult to see why there should be. In the first place, it would be a ticklish point for an official to decide, as many of the best clubs pass the bail backward and refuse to let loose at the net unless an open shot is obtained. And just why should a team be penalized if it succeeds in keeping the ball away from opponents? Each team has five men. Each has an equr* opportunity to control the ball. In the recent hullabaloo at Bedford, when Boots of Frankfort stood still and held the ball for several minutes, with the Stone qity outfit making no attempt to make him pass, -who was to blame? Couldn't Bedford have gone down the floor after him? There is no doubt but that the style is unpopular with the fans. Nevertheless, some of the Big Ten k fives always “stall” if they get out I in front in the second half. One reason for its success is that the opposing back guard ltesitates about leaving his position. There are many teams, however, that suooess fully break up such a practice. If a back guard can come down the floor to shoot why can’t he take the same chance to get the ball away from a club whose players are keeping it in their possession? Basketball is not the only game in which such methods are used. In football a team which gets out in front resorts., many times to a kicking game Which continually boots the pigskin into opponents’ territory, making the contest one of defense entirely as far as the leading eleven is concerned. Passing in basketball is probably 75 per cent of the game. If a team by its clever work can keep tlie ball away from its opponent should the clever ones be penalized? MAROON GRID~CH/TnCES .

FRIDDLE LOST TO FRANKLIN Veteran Baptist Mainstay Ruled Out by Faculty— Team Prospects Hurt. Bu Times Special FRANKLIN, Ind., Jan. 30.—The basketball team of Franklin College received a heavy blow Friday when the faculty ruled Frkldle, one of Coach Griz Wagner's veteran mainstays, ineligible to finish out the season with the Baptist aggregation. Friddle failed to “get over!’ the semester examinations and the faculty ruled him out of athletics.

Out of the whirlpool of Indiana basketball a powerful, rangy team emerged today, crowned with the laurels o t victory and flushed with the wines of triumph—Marion Friday night broke the winning streak of the Martinsville quintet at fifteen straight. The game was played at Martinsville. Martinsville Is not alibiing the defeat, but it would be well for the fans to know that one of the most Important cogs In the smooth-run-ning Curtis machine was missing— Francesconl, star forward of the outfit, was home sick. Proves Its Rating This fact, however, does not detract from the credit due Marion. The long rangy team has at last proved Its right to bo classed with the top notchers of the State. Curtis’ boys, without Francesconl, played a brand of ball that would have defeated almost any team In the State. Marion, however, cool and calm, was not flustered by records and the final score In that contest was 47 to 32. Frankfort, meeting Its ancient ri-. val, Franklin, came through as expected, and the boys representing a school with three State titles to its credit went home on the short end of a 41 to 30 count Friday night. Muncie came through with a victory, as had been expected, defeating Newcastle, 34 to 27, after trailing 16 to 15 at the half. Kokomo Shines Anderson, once one of Indiana’s greatest crews, slipped back into the mediocre class when it allowed Kokomo to run hog-wild, winning, 76 to 43. Kokomo uncovered a beautiful passing attack. Bedford also maintained Its pace after defeating Frankfort last week and rapped the Shelbyville crew, 60 to 43. The Washington Hatchets polled a game out of the fire in the contest with Central of "Evansville, winning, 31 to 30, in an overtime contest. Evansville led at half-time, 16 to 10. Crawfordsville bowed before the attack of Waynetown, 36 to 32, and Central of Ft. Wayne went down before Hartford City, 45 to 25. Lebanon sent Morton of Richmond down in defeat before a barrage of baskets by a score of 41 to 25.

About 10,000 athletes and other employes of the New York Central Lines are expected to attend the 1926 field meet of that organization when it is held In Indianapolis at the State fairground in September. c is one of the biggest sport events in railroad circles. Earl L. Ferguson, manager of the convention bureau of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, was informed of the meet being awarded this city by A. M. Armour of the Peoria & Eastern Railway. All roads controlled by ,the New York Central entqr athletes in the annual meet. FAMOUS COME STARS ART CARLSON OUTSMARTED MICHIGAN —i. . .TTSMARTtNQ the opposition! I That’s one of the biggest tricks If 1! m any game. r ■ j VA| Much of Cobb’s greatness on I— the diamond has been due to his ability to think and act quickly—to outsmart the foe. It always has kept him a step or two ahead of the other fellow. He was in there to outthink and outguess the opponents. He did. One of the smartest plays I have seen in football was pulled by Johnny Stuart of Ohio State in the Buckeye-Michigan game in 1921. Not only was It a piece of rapid-fire thinking on Stuart's part, but proved the turning point in the game. The score was tired. Michigan had the Jtall close fa, her own goal. She was orced to poiU. Steketee. th 6 Maize and Blue kicker, usually reliable, got off a miserable boot on this occasion, the ball bounding along the ground near the sidelines on the Michigan 30-yard stripe. Pla.t era of both teams gathered ground the oval as Is often the case on a short punt, none wanting to touch It. apparently. Dashing up'Trom his position as safety came Stuart. Without a moment's hesitation he scooped up the ball and ere the others were aware of what was going on was legging it for the Wolverine goal Only the Michigan safety, Uterlitz. was between the flying Stuart and the final line. The Buckeye successfully eluded him, however, carrying the leather over for the first score of the game. Ohio won that tilt. 14-0. But had It not been for Stuart's unusual bit of work, the entire complex ion of the battle might have been changed. For scoring a touchdown on such a plav couldn't help but upset the morale of the Michigan aggregation. HAMILTON COUNTY MEET High School Teams Battle for Honors at Noblesville.

Bu United Press NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 30.—The football next season is far in the future, but there has been no letup In practice and football talk at Vanderbilt University, which has served notice on the South that it Intends to capture the 1926 championship. Somewhat nettled at the defeats it suffered last season at the hands of Alabama, the 1924 and 1925 champs, and Georgia, Vandy is doing everything possible to repeat its performance of 1921 and 1922, when it swept through Its schedules undefeated. Football talk has become more Important than baseball gab, much to the dismay of the coadhes of the latter team. Helen Is Given Hard Game Bu United Press CANNES, France. Jan. 30.—Meeting unexpected opposition. Helen Wills, American tennis champion, was pressed to win the quarter-final round match of the Gallia tournament here today from Mrs. R. E. I Haylock, England, at 9-7 and 6-2. The American champion played poorly in the first set and It wrfs only a strong rally that prevented her from losing the first set when she was down 6-5 and the score thirty-love against her. She seemed to be upset all during the match. Jean Borotra, the French player, who Is known well at Wimbledon and Forest Hills, predicts that Suzanne Lenglen will find Miss Wills an easy opponent. Borotra says Helen has not improved since last year and estimates that sho will win only four games during the two sets with Suzanne, if they meet next month, as planned. The betting is 10 to 6 that the French girl wins. THUNBERG KEEPS TRYING Fin Skater Included in National Meet at Binghamton. Bu United Press BINGHAMTON. N. Y„ Jan. 30.

If we were to hire men because of their ability to drive—if we hired them without knowing their standing, personal attributes and character, we would be false to our obligations, and this cab company would never have reached Jts present) high state of efficiency, It costs time and money and the work of many people to hire the kind of men we want It doesn’t cost others anything to hire the other kind. - And we are willing—ever eager—to spend money rather than to take a chance with your safety. We fully recognize the responsibility we assume when wd send a man and a cab on the streets to haul you and your loved ones, consequently we’ve got to know beyond a reasonable doubt who and what these men are before we hire them, We’ve got to know what thek* habits and associations have been—whether they have any tendency towards physical or mental defects—whether they have any Inherited or acquired criminal taint. It’s the true road to public confidence. All Closed Cars Frank Bird Transfer Company
