j IHE logical time for Pat jHP J Page to resign as athletic '. *■ 1 director of Butler University, if he were considering such action, was right now. According to an agreement with the local school a six months notice had to be given. This will make the resignation effective Sept. 1, so that Pat can be free to go to another college to start the next school year. Page also will go to the Illinois relays Saturday at Urbana, leaving tonight after the Wit bash basketball game. He will be able to get in touch with any mimber of colleges at the big carnival. Something in the way of a future position may open up there. Because of the football coaching -vacancy existing at Indiana University there have been some rumors to the effect that Page might go to the Bloomington school. But as far as we have been able to learn Page’s name has not been brought up at any athletic meeting of the State university. There is no connection between Page's resignation and the Indiana coaching job. There has been some talk among local alumni of I. U. about Page and some have spoken to him casually on the subject, but as far as any official action is concerned, there has been none. The Butler man is not only a coach, but an athletic director. Although Indiana has a high re- • gard for his coaching ability it could not offer liim tlie directorship of athletics as Zorn Clevenger is filling the bill to the satisfaction of all. Page, it is understood, would not be satisfied with the grid coaching position, alone. • • * Harry Greb should defeat Tiger Flowers tonight. There is only one thing against Harry. He has been training. Such unheard-of goings-on may put the "windmill” off form. * • * OLD high school rivalries are being revived at the State independent amateur basketball tournament. The Vincennes Merchants have a number ctf the youths who played on the "Alices” in their high school days. They include Allega, Harper, Wampler, Duncan and Hoffman. The Torktown club has Jackson, Williams and Burdette, former Anderson High School players on the roster. The Yorktown and Vincennes teams do not have a chance to meet, however, unless they go to the final championship game. Such a thing is not impossible, as both are exceptionally strong. * • • If two of Butler’s relay runners are as unusual as their names they most certainly are uncommon track men. Othello Harding and Mordecai Dee made the trip to Illinois indoor track carnival, • • • already have told you W how we thought . the Big ■ i ■ Ten basketball games were coming out tonight. On Saturday Chicago is at lowa and Northwestern at Ohio State. The first mentioned contest is a hard one to “pick.” We sorta look for the Maroons to upset the dope and defeat the Hawkeyes, who have proved extremely tough on the home court. Ohio State looks like a sure winner over Northwestern at Columbus. The Purple has been hit hard by ineligibilty and injuries.

By Timet Special BLOOMINGTON, Inch, Feb. 26. Indiana University indoor track team left for the scene of the Illinois relays this morning with hopes of making Indiana’s best showing of recent years. Weather conditions, without an indoor track, have proved a handicap to Coacli Hayes' athletes, but even under these conditions the team is better than any turned out here in many seasons. Indiana's strongest bid for honors probably will be in the four-mile relay. Caine, Rose, Alexander and Little have been teaming in this event and watches have been catching them in good time. Pepper and Stephenson are entered in the dashes.

DEFEATS FAIL TO JAR BILL Tilden Says ‘lndoor Stuff Is Not Tennis’ —La Coste Spills Champ. By Henry L. Farrell, Upited Press Staff Correspondent HEW YORK, Feb. 26.—Another anil more convincing defeat of Bill Tilden in the first of the FrenchAmerlcan team matches Thursday makes It apparent now that the United States is not only slipping in international tennis prestige, but iu in serious danger of losing the Davis cup. Last week in the national indoor championships, Tilden was defeated for the first time in six years in a national tournament when he fell before Borotra, of France. Again in the first round of the "indoor Davis cup matches.” Tilden was beaten by Rene La Coste. American Indoor champion, Wimbledon champion, French soldier, and the 20-year-old son of a French wine maker. It Isn’t a front page story for Tilden to lose a match. He has been beaten several times by Vlnnie Richards and once or twice by Manuel Alonzo, but when he drops two such important matches as he has done In the last week, there Is cause to wonder. Tilden laughs off the suggestion that he ig not on his game. "This indoor stuff is not tennis.” he said. “When we get out on the green with some sunshine and some natural heat and air you will see a difference.” The row between Tilden and the fen/iis association probably will be settled tonight and Tilden is expected to win the decision. Political pressure has been used on the association and it is likely that Tilden, Richards and Frank Hunter, as well as the French players, will be told that they can play for charity in Tex Rickard’s Garden Sunday.

Pitchers and Catchers to Report Early—Bob Steele Seeks Reinstatement. By Eddie Asli Pitchers ana catchers on the Indians’ roster will be sent to Hot Springs, Ark.. March 8, six days in advance of the main squad of Tribe pastimers, it wu announced at Washington Park today. The other athletes will depart March 14, as originally planned. Manager Bush decided to g"et the batterymen In camp ahead of the 1 others, in order that batting prac-1 tlce can be started the first day the main party arrives. Trainer Jim Pierce is at Hot Springs now, and he will take charge of the battery I boys until Bush reaches there March 16. The hurlers and receivers will be sent through a course of baths and Indulge in light exercise to loosen up their muscles. Big League Style This will be the first, year batterymen have been sent to camp ahead of the main squad, but it is the style in the big leagues and Manager Bush figures it's a wise move. Tom Whelan, who was utility player for the Indians several seasons. but who was on the retired list in 1925. came to Indianapolis Thursday and asked to be made a free agent. Owner Smith had a chance to sell Whelan, but due to the fact Tom worked hard when with the Indians, the Tribe boss gave hlin his unconditional release. Whelan was Jubilant and expressed his thanks because It isn’t often that a ball club will make a player a free agent. Tom said he planned to manage a Class D team the coming season and stated he would tip off Manager Bush to promising talent that comes to his notice. Bob Steele Case Pitcher Bob Steele, southpaw, i property of the Tribe, who has been I outlawed, has applied for reinstate- [ ment again. He was turned down i by the national board last spring, ! but Is making another effort to become eligible In order to Join the Indians. He “Jumped” the Tribe several years ago. In a letter received at the Washington Park today Steele said he remained "pure” all during 1925 and stayed away from the outlaws. Therefore there is a slight possibility thal be will be reinstated, though he caused national board members to become Indignant laßt spring by falsifying about his 1924 whereabouts.
