\fIRRIN’ r the DOPE By VEDDER GARD

mN DIANA University has two very unusual athletes. They are examples that should be helc'i up to all lounge lizards who complain of “weak hearts’’ and “flat feet’’ and tills and that. “I’ve got an Ingrown toenail. You couldn’t expect me to compete against those big, strong fellows in sports.” Kreuger of I. U. is right up at the top among the leading scorers in the Big Ten basketball race this year. In fact, according to latest figures, SpradHng of Purdue is the only man who has ripped more through the hoop. And Krenger has a withered i ight hand that is practically useless! * Remember Salmi, the southpaw forward passer of the Crimson football team? Do you know why he passed with his left hand? Simply because he could not grip the ball with his right. On the uefense he hits the opponents with shoulder or body. He can not grab them with his right hand. And Salmi was a real star! Oh, what a sermon could be preached on these two youths who didn’t say, “We can’t do Fate has been unkind "to ns. We’re just going to sit still and sulk.” Physical handicaps just made y them fight all the harder. It is of such stuff that heroes are made. • • r=raHEN fire destroyed the McVX/ Cordsvllle school building early Sunday It is said that most of the basketball equipment was saved. Nobody seemed to worry so much about anything except that the gym was burning down. In the excitement one youth carried out a tremendous load of sport equipment. After he had laid It down the fire appeared to be getting dangerously close. He attempted to pick it ail up again and found after the excitement had died down he couldn't lift the load. That’s the way the next State champion is going to play at the fairground. There are any number of teams capable of winning the crown. But one of those clubs is going to get inspired for some reason or other and play better than It really knows. • * • We have a hunch—and it is a disagreeable one for followers of Purdue. We just have a sneaking feeling that Illinois is going to upset the dope at ITrbana on Wednesday night and down the Boilermaker basketball team. Don’t ask us why. We just feel that way. Dope points the other way, and we b hope we’re wrong. *• * * m ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY basketball team has been one of the disappointments of the season. We hope Mr. Ruby doesn’t see this; but anyway we think some of losses can be traced to the style of play. It does seem as though the veteran material is there. For some reason or other we are very prejudiced against that crisscross, short-pass game which takes the tall down the fl. or helter-skel-ter. A number of high school coaches used to teach that style, but gradually have given It up in this State. Very few use It anymore. The Ideal basketball team does not shoot on the run or dash madly. It has a certain' deliberation in its movements, and passes and tips the ball until there Is an open steady shot. Anyway, that’s the idea. In a close guarding game, of course, there are not many dead shots. But a team surely does not help matters out by wild-eyed rushes which take the ball down the floor true enough, only to lose the advantage obtained because of hurried shooting. * * * mHAT American Ueague baseball meeting, which Is supposed to be’called to approve the schedule, probably will talk about everything else. The Ban Johnson loop Is opposed to the “resin bail,” but It was helpless in the rules committee meeting. Clark Griffith of the Senators Is one of the chief opponents of the “resin hall” and will fight it to the limit. There may be such a thing as the magn&tes getting together and reaching some sort of gentleman’s agreement on the matter thereby barring the use of resin in the American. A lot of the younger circuit magnates do not like the National League’s dictatorial attitude in putting forth a resolution In favor of judge Landis’ retention for ten years. They don’t like the judge and they don’t like the National League. So there you are. The schedule is likely to be forgotten. Anyway, It. is already supposed to be printed and ready for distribution, Feb .10. OAKLAND CITY COPS Bu Times Special OAKLAND CITY.

If Red Grange and his Grangers invade the professional football field here next fall they will :iave to Jump Into a freeze-out batt: > for survival, according to Tim Mara, director and principal backer of the New York Giants eleven.

Bu Times Special CAMBRIDGE, Maas., Feb. 9. After wrangling over the appointment of anew head coach for two months, Harvard’s graduate football advisory committee has resigned and the resignation has been accepted by the Harvard athletic committee. The committee of graduate advisors, headed by Bob Fisher since he resigned as bead coach In November, is named by the football captain, whose word usually is the deciding factor in all Harvard football rumpuses. Probably the most significant feature of the latest development In the present muddle is that It undoubtedly marks the passing of Fisher as a real power. Harvard alumni have openly expressed the opinion that anew football regime is nectssary and that in order to acomplish this Fisher should be pushed aside. The resignation of the committee indicates a complete house-cleaning is In sight. Although no reason for the action of the graduate advisors are given, continual arguments over the selection of anew coach undoubtedly resulted in the resignation. The break probably are because of an attempt to appoint some man not a Harvard graduate as head coach.
