The boys over-confident., hut they are BWwed and pointed for this battle, ind they are in better all around Ihape today than at any time this leason.” The Cardinals will be at full Itrength for the New Year's Day lilt, despite Coach Warner's gloomy forecasts to the contrary. In scrimmage they have shown to better advantage than they did on the eye if their great battle with University f Southern California, which Stanford won. 13 to 12. Both teams began tapering off tolay with signal practice and relearsals in passing and punting. The Hayers have been placed on strict liets until game time.

CITY BOWLING GOSSIP By Letty Lee

The Capitol No. 1 League carried so many features Wednesday night that it is hard to believe. Nine games passed the 1,000 mark, the 1.085 of the Marott Shoe Shop team being high. In the Marott ShoeRobbins Body match the first game re lilted in a score of 1.004 to 1.000 for the Robbins team. Then the Marotts reached 1,028 to 969 and re- ) ucd In the final, 1,085 to 1,030. These totals gave the Marott team 3,113 pins. Robbins Body had 3,003. Silver Flash, after their great series of Monday night, came back on Wednesday night and won three games from the Werbe-Meissens, th c-first team able to turn this trick on the VVerbe boys this year. Totals are: Silver Flash. 1,031, 1,037 and 993 —3,061. The Em-Roe team was another outfit in the mood to go and won their three games from the 3-F Coffee team on games of 1,063, 924 and 982 for a total of 2,969. The 11. E. Schmidt boys were returned winners in two out of three games over the Coca-Cola team. Six hundred totals were numerous and single games ran high. Eddie Striebeek felt called upon Ito keep the family in the limelight, so he proceeded to roll games of 226, 279 and 183 for a total of 688. His brother, AI, was in poor form and could only get 636 on games of 210, 210 and 216. Weisman, after a start of 173, came back with games of 266 and 244 for a 083 total.

cause of much grief for coaches. It is also the cause of most of the evils of intercollegiate athletics, the most et ious of which is the recruiting of promising material for teams. Most of these evil-- would he eliminated If ulutnni and students would assume a more sportsmanlike attitude toward defeat and realize that it comes to the best of coaches.'' Scouting Criticised The tendency of the coaches' 1 neeting wis toward amateurism. \v. W.. Roper of Princeton advanced ig-.-osrion, which was not acted , . ; n. which would eliminate “scout j Kg." I’d- aame is becoming more and o p •;( mpt to outguess rival C( ills." l.e sn!d. .Ini i itlve should I he developed on the field of play j it' lie* than in pre-game discussion." Several new t itles were put before | the n.ssocintiot , blit only that relating to t lie shift play was adopted, and before that regulation the ru'e as presented read: “After any change of position, by one or more players, two or mot e seconds shall elapse before the hail is put in play.” Major Frank Cavanaugh, newly j appoint el Fordham coach, said adop .ion of this rule would “murder" the game, sending football hack to the "dark ages." An amendment was adopted applying the rule to the Jump shift only. The coaches' recommendation will come before the football rules committee in March.

The Holders and Main No. 3 were three-time winners In the Citizens Gas I/cague games, rolled on the Recreation alleys, while the Tars, Ammonias, Gas, Cokes, Ovens and Sulphates were winning two out of three from the Screens, Boilers, Cranes, Statements, Meters and Service. Frank Sourbier was knocked out of high total hy .McKinnon, who had 587 to F rank’s 586. Sourhier's 217, however, was high single game for the night. Don't forget the 360 doubles at the Recreation Sunday afternoon. Looks as if the hoys went to the Lyric and learned how to put more “stuff” on the ball. The Century alleys will take on the appearance of a six-day bike race Saturday and Sunday. The seating capacity is limited and the railblrds are so Interested they no doubt will hang on to their seats once they obtain them. I.U. SWIMMERS VS. I.A. C.

Lombard takes the |>riz<*. The Illinois qiiintct has tlie honor of beinr the first out State col tre team to defeat an Indiana five this season. We didn't expect it to come this soon, least of all to Butler. The local collegians have a fast traveling squad and a strong defense, and it was expected that the Bulldogs would win all three games of their Illinois invasion. They defeated Illinois Wesleyan Tuesday.

Well, there's a chance to get even tonight—and against bigger game. Chicago ought to hit the rocks this evening. The game will he played jn the Windy City. The old timers just laughed themselves sick at the Manual gynt Wednesday ,night. The grads just sat there and giggled happily while the Alumni squad romped all over the Mumail Varsity. It was slaughter, pure, plain and simple. That llarmeson to llarineson to Ii armeson combination was just too much. It was the first time the three brothers, Harold, Em II and Glen, ever had performed together. Harold, touted as the greatest athlete Manual ever turned out and tinfirst four-letter man at I‘urdue since the days of Elmer Oliphant, is stilt as good as ever, hut, if you ask its, young Glen is going lo eclipse Ids big brother’s record. | Johnny Rice failed to show up. It seems. It was the first time Johnny has missed an Alumni game In many a year. Among the other former stars who helped swell the 70 36 score were Wilbur Noll. Forrest Higgs. Bill Wertz. Fred Martin. Leon Hutton and Harry Bfersdorfer. The game gave us another good glimpse at the Manual varsity team. It Is a first-half outfit. The lads play good hall during the opening period, go well together and make a real game of It. When the second half' comes, however, the Red and White are Just not there. The boys seem to work together, hut they get no place Unless the team pulls a surprising reversal of form. It is Just about "out" •in the race for city title honors. Which brings us hack to the Short ridge-Terh game Saturday nifcht at the tin) armory. Coach Burton is spending much of his , time on Ids reserves. Which is just . wliat we expected him to do. He has a great hall eltih in his first five men, but. five men never make a hall |
