Three Local Cue Artists in Big Meet A. B. A. A. to Allow City Players in Western Tourney. Chances of Indianapolis to win its first big cue championship went up today with receipt of notice from the secretary’s office in Chicago that the city will be permitted to enter three of eight players that will comprise the field for the annual Western three-cushion tournament of the Amateur Billiard Association of America. Harry Cooler, at whose parlor the tournament will be held at some date in February, not yet selected, was authorized to select the Hoosier contestants and immediately busied himself measuring up the available players. Indianapolis and the State as a whole have six or a dozen players of sufficient class, and all would relish the chance of entering. No doubt Cooler will look to those who have played in the State tournaments .for they are conceded to be Indiana’s best. Despite the heavy Indianapolis quota, the tournament will be one of the most representative westerns ever held, the Chicago, Denver, Minneapolis. Detroit and St,. Louis regional champions making up the rest of the field. Several of this latter group will compete later in the national tournament, which assures a field here that is about as strong as the association can muster. Seek Opponent for Navy Date r % 't l nit rtf Prrntt NEW YORK, Dec. 29.—While the National Collegiate Athletic Association, which opened its meeting today, has declined to consider the break in football relations between the Army and Navy, and while Coach “Biff” Jones of West Point and Bill Ingram of Annapolis chatted together in friendliest fashion, the breach between the service elevens apparently is not to be healed immediately. The Army is reported to be seeking an opponent to replace the Navy on its schedule for a game the Saturday following Thanksgiving, 1928. Southern Methodist, which defeated Missouri and other strong elevens last fall, is scheduled to meet West Point early in the season, but may be transferred to the date customarily held up for the Middies. Fur coats—like everything else—may lose their attraction, although there is a lot of good service left in them. There is a place to cash in on that coat of yours and that place is the “for sale’’ columns of Times want ads.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

E. K. Hall in Annual Report Defends Playing Football Laws. CONVENTION STARTS National Collegiate A. A. Opens Meeting. BY FRANK GETTY United Pres* Sports Editor NEW YORK. Dec. 29—There is just one outstanding figure in football. as far as the rules and regulations of this most popular and remunerative of college games is concerned. and his name is E. K. Hall. His college was Dartmouth, and his job is chairman of the rules committee. Just when it was understood that the 1927 playing rules were to be made the subject of a destructive crossfire of criticism from officials, coaches and spectators, the suave, forceful figure of E. K. Hall popped into the breach today with upraised hand. In his annual report to the National Collegiate Athletic Association, which opened its twenty-sec-ond convention at the Hotel Astor this morning, Hall not only defended the playing rules in force this year, but intimated they would remain in force. At Wednesday’s meeting of the Association of Intercollegiate Football Officials, who were expected to raise loud and forceful objections to the present rules on the ground that they were too complicated. Hall took the wind out of the horns and whistles of those present by declaring that there would be no change in the gridiron code for 1923. The football officials, who came in for unprecedented criticsm last fall, came to New York for their annual confab prepared to attack the playing rules from any number of different angles, but Hall advised them that every effort of the rules committee will be bent toward “stabilizing the rules as they now are.” The chairman of the rules committee agreed with the officials, who met ard re-elected officers and went through their customary routine business, that in some instances the present regulations might be clarified. But as for the sweeping changes which the attitude of some of the whistle blowers and horn footers had indicated would be demanded, Hall said firmly, “nothing doing.”

Canzoneri Quoted as 7-5 Favorite on Eve of Bout With Bud Taylor Featherweight Title Aspirants Complete Training for Friday Bout; Bud May Retire If Defeated.

(Iff the BACKBOARD

CLARENCE CHRISTOPHER of Butler stepped into the hero role against Muncie Normal in the Bulldogs’ spectacular and thrilling tilt at the Armory Wednesday night and established himself as one of the very best, of the State's pres-ent-day collegiate basketball pastimers. Clarence’s performance Wednesday night was reminiscent of some of the greatest of Hoosier players and although he “merely” aided his team’s

point-totaling process by three tick! goals and a free throw Ilia floor play and defensive work was as near the superb as we have yet to see. Christopher started at a forward position, moved back to a fioorguard post to allow Frank White to move to forward and then started playing at the back guard’s position in the closing minutes of play, racing up the middle of the floor with his team mates in the combined offensive drive that gave the Bulldogs the victory. it n IT was a great game and Butler's 39 to 34 win was deserved. Muncie's splendid aggregation showed to great advantage and this typewriter* pounder places the Ball Teachers oh his list of Indiana's five best college quintets. In order right now they are Purdue. Notre Dame, Butler, Indiana and Muncie. a tt ONE of two city high schools will usher in the New Year Saturday night with all the customary merry-making while the other presumably will have a difficult time

keeping smilesi on their faces. For Backboard insists that New Year’s eve is rather an odd night to stage a clash between two city rivals. Shortridge and Tech each abound with confidence this week and we imagine that the old adage about “Wiiat’s sauce for

$< * and

Burton

the gander is sauce for the goose” prevails in this instance. Backboard is of the impression Shortridge has a slight edge—on paper, of course. In plainer words, we’re picking Coach Enoch A. Burton’s Blue and White. tt it it Notre Dame plays Northwestern at Evanston tonight. It should be a close affair with the Irish finishing out a winner. That’s another guess. tt tt tt ■'"y'HE newspaper boys are staging A a splendid argument at Michigan City. Personal Fouls in the Dispatch started an argument when he suggested the name of Michigan City’s teams be ICEMEN because a gentleman by the name of Isaac C. Elston founded the high school. Werry good. But Floor Burns in the News stood pat on the old name of RED DE\ ILS. Mr. Burns recently burst out with the statement that the late Mr. Elston had been hon-

Dear Backboard: Although we know you see and hear much more of Central Indiana teams and we don't play many of them, being so far away, I wanted to suggest that our major teams of Northeastern Indiana are much stronger than ever before.
