rirpi ABASH College probably y/J lias a chance for one victory JLU in its two Big Ten games to be played Saturday night at Northwestern and Monday at lowa. The N. W. struggle is tlie one most likely to be a “win”—and that Is not sure by any means. The little Giants are far from being smooth outfit as yet, but the Ihirple will be In the same fix. Some of the Evanston players who were out for football have not yet recovered from bumps of the gridiron. This List includes Waldo Fisher, a really great center, who was hurt in the lowa grid con* test and has not worked out regularly. Baker, all-American half back, lias not had much practice yet on the hardwood. Anew pair of guards will have to be found by Coach Kent. If the Northwestern five proves weak on defense Benny Devol and Red Robinson are likely to give them an interesting evening. Wabash will be up against it at lowa. Reports from the Hawkcamp are to the effect that Coach Barry has one of the best aggregations in the Big Ten this year. Added to their great defensive strength which earned a tie in the Western Conference race in 1926-26, it is said much more offensive punch is noticeable. Last week the Hawks piled up forty-five pointts against St, Ixmis U. Tilts may not mean a great deal, a the St. Louis team is not especially strong. Fortyfive points are not to be taken lightly, however—not for an lowa team, anyway. lowa did not lose a game last year on the home floor. That’s how tough they are. SHE Danville Normal team shut out the College of Pharmacy on Tuesday of this week, 74 to 0. Before the Franklin game Coach Grlz Wagner of the Baptists came in to the officials’ dressing room and said very seriously that there was one thing he wanted understood before the game started. This sounded rather strange for Grlz, and the referee and umpire listened attentively. Wagner, without a smile, repeated the following admonition and threat: "Franklin must score at least one point tonight, or you fellows don’t get a cent.” Herb Joeetingy Afl-iAnuerican full back of Minnesota, and one of the greatest grid smashers of history, has a part-time Job in a 1 liimeapoiis bank. The bull in. (he china shop had nothing on doesting. De Pauw defeated Indiana last year. But tonight’s another night. The dopesters don’t believe the Tigers can repeat. Neither do we. Rilfus Glass of Kokomo, Ind., is one of the two leading candidates for the center position on the University of Illinois basketball team. Lindsay, the opponent of Glass, stands 6 feet 814 inches tall. He has the edge at present. Both may get a chance against Bradley Tech in the opener Saturday night at Urbana. Coach Hinkle of Butler and some of his players witnessed Danville N'onnal’s defeat ol? Franklin Thursday night. They probably did not sleep so well after it was over. The local team opens* the season at Danville Saturday night.

DE PAUW AT I. U. TONIGHT FEATURES STATE COLLEGE NET CARO
LEAGUES WIND UP SESSION Many Sales and Trades Are Made by Minor Loops— Dallas Chosen. Hu United Press ASHEVILLE, N. C., Dec. 10—Refusal to Indorse the National Players' Organization, selection of Dallas. Texas, for the 1927 meeting place and adoption of an amendment to the constitution restricting players of organized ball from participating in games during the off season, brought the annual convention of the National Association of Proses sional Baseball Leagues to a close Thursday. More than 700 magnates, managers and officials from the two malor and twenty-six minor leagues from all parts of the United States and Canada, attended the three-day session. More trades were made during this time than in any similar period in the association’s history. Between seventy-five and 100 minor league players and about ten majorplayers were sold or transferred. . At the final business session, the association declined to indorse the National Association of Professional Baseball Players until active players as a whole “contribute to the maintenance of the home in California for disabled players.” In the revision of the constitution the association adopted anew rule which prohibits players under contract to teams in organized baseball from taking uart in games be tween Oct. 31 and the start of ths following playing season. The members declined to suspend the rules in order to consider the Invitation of West Baden Springs, Ind., for the 1927 meeting place, arc! named Dallas, Texas. The date will be decided upon later. The annual meeting of the minor leagues ended with Judge K. M. Landis more firmly entrenched than ever as ruler of the baseball world. The firm support given Landis all through the convention left no doubt that the minor club owners want the Commissioner reappointed for another long term, to stabilize baseball through exercise of central control.
Announcement was made that Marty Berghammer had signed to return as manager of the Tulsa Western League Club. Rochester of the International League will train next season at Savannah, Ga. Newark of the International League decided upon Pen&acola, Fla., as its training site for 1927. First baseman Swanboro was sold by Oklahoma City to Amarillo of the Western League. Brooklyn refused an offer of $lO,006 for Pitcher Guy Cantrell by President Tom Turner of the Portland Club In the Pacific Coast League. The Indiaapolls A- A. team failed to make a deal for a shortstop as the minor session closed. It is said Manager Betzel now has his heart set on obtaining Gronin of A* l6 Pirates, but the Pirates thought so well of this young man last season they recalled him from New Haven late in the campaign and Inserted him in tho Pittsburgh line-up. And the Pirates may want to keep the Pacific Coast lad for utility purposes next season. In addition to the need of a shortstop. Betzel said he wants another outfielder and catcher. Vice President Smith of the Indians will attend the National League meeting in New York and renew efforts to land talent. Kansas City traded Tnflelder Tierney to the Hollywood team of the Coast League for Catcher John Peters. ‘Y’ BIG FIVE PERFORMS Local Negro Basket Squad Plays Munclo Here Tonight.

Butler at Danville Saturday —Wabash Takes on Two Big Ten Teams. Gradually the college basketball teams of the State are swinging Into action in the early games which are a harbinger of the battles to come when all get up full steam ahead as the season gets hotter and hotter in January and February. The feature fray tonight is De Pauw at Indiana University. It wi!' be two veteran squads opposing each other and there is considerable rivalry attached to the encounter. Last season the Tigers slipped up on the Crimson and won a rather decisive victory. I. U. wants to wipe out that defeat. It is the opening game for the Bloomington outfit. De Pauw defeat ed Earlham last Tuesday at Richmond.* The teams are much the same as met last season. For an early season affair the battle looms as a gem of the hardwood. Another Game Another game tonight is Huntington at Muncie Normal. The Teachers appear to have a good team and are favorites to win. On Saturday night two local teams play on "foreign’’ courts. Butler opens the season at Danville Normal. It will be the first opportunity to gauge the strength of Hinkle's club. The Une-up as yet Is a rather uncertain proposition. Much depends upon how some of the sophomores come through. Home of the veterans will be hard to replace, especially Bob Nipper, who was a great player. Captain has an examination, or something or other to do, to satisfy professors. It appears as though the Ben Davis flash will be needed. Indiana Central Indiana Central, the University Heights team, will try its luck again after a rather disastrous start against Franklin last Tuesday. It will be Rose Poly this time at Terre Haute and the Engineers ought not to be so tough as the Baptists. Wabash will play, Northwestern on Saturday night. Not much is known of the Purple at this early date. Wabash can not hope to be at full strength. The team has plenty of potential strength but needs the rough edges worn off. lowa Strong The best way to get the polish is by competition. The Little Giants probably will get plenty of that against Northwestern and at lowa on Monday night. It is said the Hawkeyes look plenty good this season. They always are hard to beat on their own floor. Earlham is at Notre Dame Saturday night. The "Irish” should be good again this season pud will be stronger later with Dahman and McNally, who have been playing football, in the line-up. Richmond has a team made up, for the most part, of new njaterlal. VOLGER GOES INTO LEAD Morrtkcn Tumbles Rubens to Second Ifiace in Cue Meet. Dick Merriken defeated Harry Rubens, 50-48, in seventy-seven inn ings in the State three-cushion bil Hard tourney at Harry Cooler’s parlor Thursday night.
