Strong Baptists Invade Home of Little Giant Net Rivals. Bv Times Special CRAWFORDSVILLE, 'lnd., Jan. 11.—The Wabash College basket team wariflr is awaiting the Invasion of Franklin into Crawfordsville territory tonight. The Cavemen have prepared themselves for the Baptists and have resolved that the successors of the once famous Franklin ‘Wonder Five” will find a real battle put Up by the successors of the noted Wabash "Wonder Five.” Much interest has been aroused over the State and a large crowd is expected to be on hand to witness the clash. Franklin's smashing victory over De Pauw is not causing the Little Giants any great iAiount of worry. Vhe locals feel that with Robinson and De Vol in the best of condition Grlz Wagner’s men can be upset. A review of the Franklin season record shows it has been marred only by ..losses to Danville and Indiana. The Baptists hold victories over Wisconsin, De Pauw, Indiana Central and two over Evansville. Wabash has defeated lowa, Purdue, Northwestern, State Normal and Danville Normal, and has lost two games to Evansville. Many fans are taking into consideration the two defeats handed Pete Vaughan’s aggregation by Evansville on the Purple Aces’ floor while Franklin succeeded in taking the measure of Evansville two nights In a row. Gtfcf CLUB OFFICERS William - B. Burford Jr., was reelected president of the Indianapolis Gun Club at the annual meeting. George Wendllng was elected vice president and George R. Waite, secretary. L.

Guard Must Stay Between His Man and Basket This Is the First and Most Important Fundamental of Individual Defense ■ - By 11. G. Olsen, Ohio Slato Coach

One of the first and most Important fundamentals of individual guarding is that the guard should play between his man and the basket. If he so -places himself, he is able to see the ball and cover his man as well. He can watch ball, but at the same time be aware of any movement which his opponent makes and can shift his position accordingly. Failure to observe this fundamental of guarding has cost many a basket. The illustrative pictures portray one very common mistake in thta connection. The guard (see illustration No. 1) has posted himself In an improper position; he is not between his man and the basket, and so can not see the ball and his man at the same time. He is watching the ball and pointing at his opponent, who is slightly behind and to Ids left. This mistake can very easily be observed by anyone who cares to look for it in the average basketball game. Pointing at a man doesn’t cover him. Illustration No. 2 shows the forward stal ling bis break for the basket. The guard, watching the -ball, is evidently aware that something is about to happen. But before he quite Benses the situation, the forward has the Jump on him and is on his way to the basket. Too late, the guard discovers this fact and makes a strenuous effort to stop the pass to his man. Illustration No. 8 shows the usual result of such improper guarding. The forward has earned a sufficient advantage, so that the efforts of the guard are In vain. The basket is made.

Leonard recently stirred up a nasty -basebu u. scandal. Fisher passed out several years ago to become baseball coach at University of Michigan and Marvin Goodwin was killed In an airplane jicoldcnt.

BUTLER ANNEXES CONTEST Jackman Provides Thrills ir Game With Marquette at Armory. A certain young man, answering to the name of Willis Jackman, and who performed in the capacity of ff forward for Butler College's basket' ball team Monday night against' Marquette University at the Armory was the main reason for the In< dlanapolis school's 33-30 victoby over its Wisconsin rivals. There was nothing about until t Jackman entered into activa competition that would merit men, tion. The shooting was ragged and the floorwork poor. Chadd, Butler floor guard, and Bill Biigg seemed to be the only players capable of handling the ball with any degree of success. Both teams missed dozens of shots. Jackman injected Into the fray near the end of the first half put Ills team Into the lead, 13-12, with a pretty field goal. That same Jackman got "hot'' in the final period and added five more goals to his lotal. lie gave his team a nice lead and continued to show a sparkling brand of floor work. Marquette started a rally as the game drew a close, but Inaccurate shooting lessened their etymees for victory and gave Butler possession of the ball. Bazner tvas the best bet for the Wisconsin crew', tallying six field goals and two free throws. Summary: Butler (3). Marquette (30> Chandler F Ed Hern Christopher r Bazner Holz.
