UPSET IN CITY NET LEAGUE Hoosiers Hold Undisputed Possession of First Place —Stutz Surprises. The Ifoosier A. C. basketball team holds undisputed possession of first place as a result of Wednesday night’s games in the City League held at the H. A. C. gym. The Stutz Motors quintet made a great comeback in the second half of its game with the Big Four and defeated the railway team, 23-22, in one of the most exciting gatnes staged this season. The Indianapolis Light and Heat team started too late and the final rally fell short by a scanty margin, tho Hoosiers winning a 30-97 victory. In the first game Big Four opened up early and at the end of the half were holding a 12-8 lead. Sayee pulled most of the action for the Stutz five as the Big Four lead rapidly diminished. Hickman tied the score at 18-all. A double foul made it 19-all and the Big Four immediately went into the lead with a well-timed field goal, 21-19. Sayce pulled a nice shot from the center to tie it up again and Wehrel put the Big Four ahead with a free throw, 22-21. Sayce put his team into the lead for the first time in the game with another field goal and the game was over. In the Light and Heat-Hoosier game, Joe Kelly led his boys in the final minutes of play pulling up from a 21-9 score at the half to a threatening position. Summaries: Stutz (23). Big Four (22).

GRID SQUALL

Brown Injected Into ‘Dirty Football’ Controversy. Bu t lifted Press NEW YORK, Jan. 27. —Like the recent baseball scandals, which were blown by conversation from a whisper into a roar of national discussion, the "dirty football” talk threatens tc become another ipsue. When it seemed the squall would blow over, storm clouds came up when Wynart Hubbard made another attack on Princeton and took a shot at Brown. There is no telling now how much territory the storm will cover and what will be the damage. Brown was drawn in as a co-de-fendant with Princeton when Hubbard claimed Brown used such filthy language in the game against Norwich that Norwich threatened to stop tlie game. Although attempts are known to have been made to have Hubbard let the matter remain where it was, it is apparent ho may have further charges to vindicate himself. He said lie lias has not made public all the evidence he has, and that all the evidence is bomb-proof.

Vets Not Guilty of ‘Fixing’ 1919 Game, High Commissioner Rules. (Continue? From Page 1)

with the commissioner's statement of Dec. 21, 1926, as follows: “ ‘These men being out of baseball. no decision will be made unless changed conditions m the future demand it.’ Had Been Released "Preceding that announcement, both players had been released, that action having come about us follows: • "By resolution of Sept. 9, 1926, the American League directors requested that a hearing be held respecting allegation by Hubert Leonard of improper conduct by Cobb, Speaker. Joe Wood and Leonard, In connection with the Detroit-Cleve-land game of Sept. 25, 1919, and two letters to Leonard by Cobb and Wood relating thereto. "Cobb, Speaker and AVood were available, but Leonard, a retired player, residing in California, declined to attend a hearing. Therefore, his statement was taken in California and in substance was that this game had been ‘fixed.’ Cobb, Speaker and Wood branded this charge as false. A wager had been made, but they vigorously denied the game had been ’fixed’ as they insisted upon an opportunity to face their accuser. Accuser Stays Away “Leonard, however, persisted in his refusal to come, and despite the fact his attendance could not be forced, the hearing finally was set for Nov. 29, and all parties, including Leonard and the American League president and directors, duly notified. Leonard replied he would not be present. "Cobb and Speaker appeared Nov. 27 and were informed of Leonard's attitude, whereupon they canvassed the whole situation with the commissioner and reached the conclusion they would rather quit baseball than have a hearing with their accuser absent. Their reasoning was: The mere announcement of charges of this character, whatever the personality or motives of the accuser, or the scarcity or even absence of evidence supporting the charges, would be harmful to the accused persons, experience having shown that a vindication by baseball authority, based upon a manifest insufficiency, or even a total failure of supporting proof, has been labeled a ‘whitewash.’ Concerned About Wood "While they insisted they had no doubt of tlieir ability to answer the charges, Cobb and Speaker were concerned about the possible effect upon themselves and others in whom they were deeply interested. They appeared to be particularly respecting the situation of Joe Wood.” "These considerations, as Cobb and Speaker represented the matter to me, brought about their desire to suit baseball, despite their appreciation of the fact that such action might be : lisconstrued. "Inasmuc.i, therefore, as Leonard's attendance could neither be in duced nor enforced, the commissioned consented that the hearing be put over indefinitely, and it was un<lerstood that would be the end of the matter, unless conditions thereafter should so change as to require a different course. "It was pointed out at the time that a number of people knew or had heard of the Leonard charges and of the Cobb and Wood letters, and the likelihood of suspicion and rumor resulting from a retirement in these circumstances of two players of such prominence was fully discussed. And it was definitely understood that the interests of all concerned might thereafter require a public statement setting forth the charges and answers. - Clubs Grant Releases "The American League directors were informed of the status of affairs and that Cobb and Speaker desired t oleave baseball for the reasons stated. Accordingly, the Detroit and Cleveland clubs gratned releases arx3 the American League directors rescinded their resolution calling for a hearing, with the same understanding that this ended the matter unless subsequent developments should necessitate a hearing and publication. "Shortly thereafter gossip and rumor got busy. As usually transpires when these two kindly, sympathetic agencies are at work, they left in their wakes a variety of progeny l infinitely more harmful to the individuals concerned than the truth could possibly be. Many press associations and scores of newspapers were persistently demanding the facts. “Therefore, Cobb, Speaker and Wood were called to Chicago and the situation laid before them. They all realized that, untrue, distorted and jffirbled accounts were being influenced, and agreed that a hearing had become desirable, even with Leonard persisting in staying away. Accordingly, a final effort was made to Induce Leonard to attend, but again be refused. The hearing was held and the commissioner at once issued the record for publication. In accordance with his definite understanding with Cobb, Speaker and Wood. Tlie Official Decision "This is the Cobb-peaker case. These players have not been, nor are they now. found guilty of fixing a ball game. By no decent system of justice could such finding be made. Therefore , they were not placed on the ineligible list. “As they desire to rescind their withdrawal from baseball, the releases which the Detroit and Cleveland clubs granted at their request, in the circumstances detailed above, are canceled and the players’ names are restored to the reserve lists of those clubs. “KENESAW LANDIS, "Commissioner.” Landis’ decision places Cobb and Speaker back on the rosters of the Detroit and Cleveland clubs, respectively, but not as managers, positions they held before the Leonard accusations were disclosed. George Moriarty will pilot Detroit this year and Jack McCallister will manage Cleveland.

Success of Reverse Pivot Entirely Up to Player Perfectly Executed, It Is One of the Finest Strategic Movements By 11. G. Olsen, Ohio State - Coach

SHE reverse pivot when executed at the proper time, is one of the finest movements in basketball. It is not only good to look at, but is invaluable as an aid to team play. By its use many passes are made successfully, which would otherwise be inaccurate and risky. Tlie reverse pivot carries over to one side of the guard, giving him more freedom for passing. It means turning the hack to tho guard, which adds another element of security to tlie passer’s protection against having the pass spoiled, since his body is interposed between the ball and the guard. The reverse pivot is not a natural movement for most basketball players. Its proper use can only be developed by persistent practice, and, in fact, it is of little or no value until it has become an iristinctive

thing with the player. If he has to stop and think every time he is to use the pivot, it is of very little value. If the player lias done the thing over and over again, however, so that he instinctively reverse pivots when suddenly confronted by an opponent, and so gains a chance to pass freely, he would not otherwise have had, then the pivot is a very valuable asset in team play. These points are important in connection with the reverse pivot: (1) It must be practiced continually until the reactions are reflexive and nott thinking. Must become "second nature.” (2) Get off sharply at right angles to the original course, since the object of the pivot is to carry you away from the guard. (3) Get a quick break by a sharp, hard, drive-off of non-pivot foot.

Most of the coaches in the Conference believe the schedule from a competitive bases will be practical. SIGNSv'RED’ Robinson to Play With Marmons Saturday Night. But one game will be played here this week-end by tlie Goodyear basketball team of Akron, Ohio, it was announced today. That contest will be with the Marmons at the “Y” on Saturday night. A game had been tentatively arranged with another club in this city for Friday night, but this lias been cancelled. The Marmon club announces the signing of "Red” Robinson for the Saturday night game. Robinson, who has just graduated from Wabash College, is considered one of the outstanding Hoosier college netterg, and his joining the local industrial outfit undoubtedly will boost the locals’ stock sky-high. Carlisle Friddle, former Franklin ace, Will also wear a Marmon jersey Saturday night, and will jump center for the Marmons. Bob Nipper will perform with the Marmons, as usual, and the presence of such an array of Hoosier stars is likely to again pack the "Y” gym. Seats are at the Em-Roe store. Barefoot football is a sport feature in Hawaii. Punts frequently average 50 yards.

INDIANA SET FOR MAROONS Crimson Five in Determined Mood; Many Seats Available for Saturday. Bu Tim l '* iSDc.cial BLOOMINGTON. Ind.. Jan. 2<.— Indiana University has a chapter of retribution on its basketball schedule Saturday nigm. when the University of Chicago invades Bloomington. The lone upset handed to the Crimson by Michigan last Saturday has filled the team with anew spirit of determination. Statistics on the Michigan game show why Indiana University failed ito win. The unfailing eye for the basket, which carried the quintet to seven straight triumps, was lacking at opportune moments. Indiana had seventy-four shots at the basket tc forty-two for Michigan. The Wolverine victory was the first for Michigan since Coach Dean has been piloting the Indiana basketball boat. Dean's quintets have a total of four victories over Michigan in a like number of years. Chicago lias been improving since the Northwestern fray and should give Indiana a good j battle. The Maroons lacked but a few points of trimming the Wildcats as bad as the Hoosiers did. Jack Winston, who plays his last Conference game for Indiana, I against Chicago, will have his hands more than full in holding down Kapj lan, star Chicago goal shooter. Zimmerman, Kaplan's running mate, ! also will bear watching. The game comes between semesI ters when many students are home, i thus enabling hundreds of out-o£-1 town fans to obtain seats.

BAN SILENT Johnson Too 111 to Discuss Landis Verdict. Bn United Perm EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, Mo., Jan. 27. —News of exoneration of Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker by the high commissioner of baseball was received disinterestedly by Ban Johnson, who took sharp issue with Landis over charges against the two stars. "I have nothing to say,” Johnson said, flatly, when asked for comment on the official action. Johnson is too ill to think or talk about the controversy, Dr. Ernest Lowrey, his physician, said. Johnson has a harder fight ahead of him than the one he just lost, the doctor added. Tlie deposed head of the American League arrived here Tuesday, following the meeting of the baseball moguls in Chicago Sunday, when his retirement was agreed upon. Late Wednesday he was forced to go to bed with a sever attack of neuritis.
