COLLEGE NET SPORT TO TAKE BACK SEAT DURING CHRISTMAS VACATION

Off the Backßoard

priOHNNT NTIKOS, captain of the Notre Dame basketball ...g. ■ I team, lea hero In South Bend. His field goal from the center of the floor at lowa City Monday night gave the “Irish” a 19-18 victory over lowa. The South Benders were a single point behind and but a few moments of play remained when Nyikos laid his hands on the ball and let fly. The victory over the Hawkeyes is not to be disregarded by any means. lowa has an experienced and veteran crew of net snipers and any team that manages to score a victory over them Is good. SACKING of lowa brings us to the Big Ten. We believe that 1927 Is going to be a rather smoothly running affair. Indiana has the clasß of the loop. No team In the Conference has as many flashing, dazzling, stellar performers as Everett Dean boasts on his squad. Os course it is rather early to predict just who will win the title because the net sport Is nothing but a game of “ifs,” but we believe that -Fans Stunned(Continued Horn Page 12) that he had been given the management of in mid-season the year before, and with a sensational driving power—even to the detriment of his own hitting—brought home a National Deague championship and a world’s pennant to St. TxtUls. It was the first pennant for St. Bouts In thirty-eight years and the first world’s championship in forty years. Internal Disssension Bat there was a rift In the ranks. Hornsby and Branch Rickey, former manager and now vice president of the club, failed to agree. Hornsby and Breadon also differed. And now, just two and one half months after the gala celebration In honor of the sensational pennant drive and world series victory of the Cardinals, Hornsby has been traded. The town today was talking of nothing but the trade. It was street corner gossip and It was cigar store gossip. Fans had protested In the newspapers. Overtures had been made to Breadon to be sure and save Hornsby for this year. But Breadon today said he was unable to come to an agreement with his star second baseman-manager. He was willing to give Hornsby a $60,000 managerial contract for one year. Hornsby wanted a 150,000 annual managerial contract for the next three years. Late Monday they failed to get together and the announcement of the trade was made a few hours later, k "I think the trade was a good one, ■Vaturally I am sorry to lose Hornsey, but we were unable to get together," Breadon said.

Indiana will finish on the top of the heap. If we had to pick a Big Ten team that will prove dangerous all yeqr, we would select lowa. Notwithstanding their recent setbacks, the Hawks have one of the smoothest working machines in the Middle West. In McConnell they have without doubt the strongest guard in the Western Conference. He has all the requirements of a great defensive man and in addition boasts an accurate basket eye. McConnell will cause many a forward oodles of grief. El IE Old Settler came to work this morning. He handed us this poem with the remark that he stayed up half the night trying to And words that would rhyme. The cld guy Is a pretty good sport. This is his masterpiece;

Off the Old Backboard

You may rave about your opera, with it* classic strains so grand. Or the zipp ot jazz may bring- you lay to fairly beat the band. But I vow no sweeter music cm the universe afford, Than a basketball aboundin' Off the Old Backboard. You idiiy shout about your baseball, with its interest ever new, And how your nerves start tingling: whan the count is "three and two," Os the joy that thrills you hotly as the winning run is scoredBut Id rather hear ’em swishln’ Off the Old Backboard. There's lots of dash in football, with Its thousands in the stands. Its mighty rooting choruses and snappy student bands: But with all its pep and oolor, it never „ can afford One-half the kick I gather Off the Old Backboard! —-Old Settler ( v-w | 1 LLETIN NO. 5. published by ID I t * le *’ • A ~ piv® 8 a lot L J of information in regard to girls’ basketball competition.

Indiana University boosters jMAsed through Indianapolis Monday noon with a blaring band and three rumbling motor biuseti. Banners and flags, bearing the inscription, “On to Dixie!’’ were flying - gaily from the windows of the busses and hands were waving at Indianapolis folk. All of which serves to remind us tliat Everett Dean’s Crimson team will take on Kentucky at Lexington tonight. It’s going to be an unhappy New Tear's day for someone. Shortrldge and Tech play on that day. At present It looks like a toss-up. L _ _iE can remember when Shortridge was counted out when it came to athletics. It Isn’t so very long ago, either. A Shortridge football team was nil and the basketball team was just about in the grid team’s class. The Blue and White started on the upward path about three years ago. First it wrb tennis. Then came basketball. And Lon Gold sherry wound It up this fall with football. Now it comes to this—lt’s a toss-up. And take It from us Coach Burton has a nifty little crew this season. Purdue and Indiana both open their Big Ten schedules Saturday, Jan. 8. The Deanmen will move up to Madison to meet Wisconsin, while Ijainbert’s netters wiJI meet Ohio State at Lafayette. They’ll both win —that’s our prediction.

HOOSIER BANTAM SOUGHT Bud Taylor May Be Used Against Canzoneri, Latest Sensation* Deo. 21,—The State Atheltlo Commission will announce this week that Bushey Graham of Utica, despite his defeat to Tony Canzoneri. in Madison Square Garden Friday, is entitled to the championship i>out with Charley (Phil) Rosenberg, the bantam king, next month. Accordingly, a bout between Can. zonerl and Bud Taylor of Terre Haute. Ind., looms as the "naturalscrap of the bantam division. Canzonerl’s manager will press his claim for first shot at Rosenberg, but the commission’s mind Is made up for the time being on the ground the Graham and the former New Orleans boy fought at catchwelghts, which found Tony over the 118pound limit. The little Italian from Louisiana, who has just turned 21, upset all calculations by whipping Graham, a four-to-one favorite, yet Canzoneri appeal’s more like a logical featherweight than a bantam, as he la still growing. But Taylor, declared bantam champion In Illinois, Is suffering from an eye affection which will keep him out of the ring for a while.
