Paying ■the Field With BILLY EVANS

B)PPE at 39 apa in orld billiard chain e title of “Boy ter fits him. Howwor.der is htill syJoppe and billiards. 16 Hoppe first won Journeying to France, he met Maurice Vignatix, holder of the rhampio nship, and abounded the billiard world by defeating the supposedly invincible Frenchman. That was twentythree years ago. From that time until 1921 Hoppe reigned supreme in billiards. His Evans reverse that year came at the hands Jake Schaefer. It caused the, jerts to feel that Hoppe had ised the peak of his game. [Vithln a short time he surprised winning back the title, only to e it again. It was apparent the gn of Hoppe had been seriously turbed, even if not broken. Jntil 1921 the winning of the 18.2 e by Hoppe was simply an anaJ.event in the sports world. No 5 for a. minute doubted it. Things i different now. IfOWX TN SWIFT CHANGES 3 ITU IN only a little more than a year the championship has changed hands four times, illy to be again won by Hoppe, ake Schaefer, the title holder, s beaten by the Belgian star, Edtrd Horemans.

Increased Public Confidence in Sport Expected by Magnates. SUSPICIONS ALLAYED Players Sure to Watch Conduct on and Off Field. By Paul White United Press Staff Correspondent Copyright. 192, . bu United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—Belief that the public, sitting as the Supreme Court, will uphold the verdict of Commissioner Landis that baseball is generally “clean" was expressed to the United Press today by the men who own major league clubs. Although the magnates might be accused of an eye to the turnstiles in saying that baseball had not been harmed by recent charges of “thrown" games, they went even further by predicting increased public faith and Interest In the game. Clarke Griffith, owner of the Washington Senators, said that expose of the scandals would benefit baseball, because “more stringent rules and increased public confidence woul(j result.” Improved Ethics Griffith said he had no definite suggestions as new rules, leaving those to Commissioner Landis, but commented: “Ball • pla.yers will be j educated to a higher standard of ethics by being talked to about the situation and seeing the importance of clear, conduct on and off the diamond.” Charles A. Stoneham, president of the New York Giants held a similar view. “The disclosure of the charges and their Investigation will do baseball a lot of good,” he said. “Suspicions have been allayed and baseball fans know the game Is honest. “The best way to keep basebdll clean is to keep Landis on the Job. He Is the best insurance possible against crookedness in professional baseball.” . Sam Breadon of the St. Louis Cardinals and Ptiil Ball of the St. Louis Browns said they anticipated no marked change In attendance figures during the coming season. Very Little Wrongdoing Robert Quinn, president of the Boston Red Sox, said the consensus of fans in and around Boston was that “the late unpleasantness would help games to a great extent because it showed how little wrong there has been in baseball." It Is up to the players, Quinn added, "to keep the game on the high plane where it belongs and prove to the public that baseball Is truly the national game." President Emil E. Fuchs of the Boston Biaves spoke optimistically of baseball’s future. “1 approve of the warning given by Judge Landis that no ball player or finyone participating In or associated with baseball should wager on the result of a game,” he said. "Baseball is a sport which has Its thrills without the necessity of a bet.” Many prominent fans have agreed with the magnates. Will Rogers told a United Press correspondent In Detroit that In his estimation there was never any general scandal situation. He said: "You can’t tell me baseball is crooked, although there may be Individual examples of crookedness the same as In everything else. By and large baseball la honest.” BUTLER WINS Chandler, Holz Lead Locals to Easy Victory. Butler College's basketball quintet hit its stride at the Armory Friday night and overwhelmed the Michigan State College five, 68-16. The locals leX by Chandler and Holz got under way soon after the start and a. barrage of field goals put them far In front when the half ended, 26-9. The second half was a replica of the first period the Irvington five keeping on the aggressive, only to fall back on an Impregnable defense when the Aggies gained possession of the ball.

Local fistic fans have decided Young Bob Fitzsimmons, Newark (N. J.), heavyweight, must carry a haymaker. He meets Chuck Wiggins at Tomlinson Hall Monday night In the ten-round main go on the attractive card arranged by the National A- C., and the reason fans think Bob can punch Is that. Wiggfhs has been training like a wild man every afternoon at the Arcade A. C. It is said the only time Wiggins works hard is whqp he fears an opponent, and evidently he fears Young Fitz, the son of the late Bob Fltzsommins, who held the world’a heavyweight title years ago. Bob, Jr., has done very little fighting in the Middle West because he has been a good drawing card along the Atlantic seaboard and has not had to venture out Into other sections. But an attractive offer by Indianapolis promoters interested him and he readily accepted when Chuck Wiggins was named as his opponent. In addition to the Wigglns-Fitz-i simmons scrap Monday there will be i four other encounters, all six-round-ers. The State Legislature being in session has caused a marked demand for tickets to the show. It Is said. ’

Off the Backßoard By NORMAN ISAACS

| , | RIDAY night was Just one of I H those typical Indiana basketI 1 ball nights. It was about the same in both the college world and the high school circles. The Frank lin-Notre Dame game wasn’t exactly an upsets Nyikos had been reported as being unable to play and- Franklin’s performance against the Irish last year caused many to believe the South Benders were due to fall. The big surprise of the evening was the Manchester-Indiana Central contest. Manchester has a veteran team that boasts both class and speed. Wabash was expected to beat De Pauw, but it was hardly predicted that the Little Giants would run wild. In the high school realm two surprising results shocked and amazed Hoosier fans. Vincennes’ 33-28 victory- over Martinsville wasn’t quite as bad as the walloping Bedford took from Bill Dobbin’s Columbus oirtfit, 45-29. Which brings to mind the fact we were about the only one to really ever think (that Columbus could *bea)t Bedford. We said so about a. month ago. but since then thought It over and told ourself that we were plain insane. We were down at Columbus to see the Logansport-C’olumbus battle and after the game, Bill Dobbins asked rather casually If we thoughthis outfit was good enough to take down the Stone City five. It happened Bedford hadn’t looked so good against Manual the week before and we answered right off the bat that he ought to beat th" Bedford crew. Friday night’s game just brought It to mind and wt- don't know whether to say, “I said so long ago,” or give ourself a good hefty kick for ever believing we didn't Know our head from our feet. Three Conference games are on tap tonight. We’ll take another flyer and pick Wisconsin to heat Northwestern, Illinois to take Ohio State and Purdue to defeat Minnesota.

The theory of the legal block is that any man may take any position he desires and that he need not give ground or get out of the other fellow's way. To Illustrate, one very effective use of this legal block principle Is involved In connection with the quick exchange pass, which many teams use very effectively In the vicinity of the free throw line on the offensive end of the floor. In the picture we have an Illustration of another use of the legal ‘block Idea. The passer has dribbled directly at the guard and has then pivoted, passing to a teammate cutting for the basket. The passer’s body is partially in the way of the guard as he tries to stop the shot, and to that extent the legal block Is Involved.

It was the same old story that happened in this city just one year ago, when the undefeated Irish basketeers invaded the home of the Baptists. When the gam ended the hostilities. Friday the score stood Franklin, 34; Notre Dame, 22. These twenty-two points were exactly the same amount of tallies that the Irish managed to score last year and that thirty-four is just one point more than Franklin scored in 1926. The score is almost the same. The game Friday night wa* almost a replica of last season’s affair. Come Closer, Miss Mora Nyikos on the bench, his sub in the game and Franklin hitting with a pleasing regularity, and Notre Dame kept missing. It is hard to remember seeing a team N come closer and miss more shots than did the South Bend aggregation. ' The boy Franklin ought to pat on the back is Coy. He isn’t so big for a backguard, neither does he look anything near Imposing. But, oh, how that boy can fight! The Baptists started slowly and were content to play a defensive game along with the Irish. With the score standing at 6-all Notre Dame got under wa> and ran the count to 13-6. Coy Is Scrapper Grlz Wagner got busy and sent young Coy in at backguard. Then the fun started. That young gentleman wanted to fight. He scrapped for the ball, grabbed it and started out as fast as he could for the Notre Dame basket. The enthusiasm was evidently catching, the whole Baptist quintet commenced scrapping, and when the half ended it was 16-13 with the locals on tQ^>. And It kept on all the way through the next half. It didn’t seem to matter whether or not young Crowe was worthy of bearing that name and could travel just as fast aa his brother, and despite his thres baskets and the additional four field goals that Coleric added, the Baptists kept moving along. It was Just history repeating Itself. That was all. Summary: Franklin (34). Notre Dame (82> 3eott F Crowe Wooden .F Jftehjrn Lyons C Colerie King G Dahman Skinner O.
