afiboksancf SSlidesi ANOTHER year, succeeding one that was celebrated for the number and violence of its squawks, is getting a good start with Bill Tilden and the United States Lawn Tennis Association training for another battle and with the Army and Navy debating on the use of real cartridges in 1928’s sham battles. The bout between Tilden and the executives of tennis has not proved much of a thriller because they have been in the opposite corners of several previous encounters which resulted in draws. Tilden says some concessions were made to him when he was valiantly defending his right to use his literary talents. The concessions have not been made known, but it is a matter of history Tilden went on playing tennis and the executives went on running tennis. a a a ms CASE NOT VITAL THE loss of Tilden for the American Davis Cup challengers is not the momeneous public question it would have been several years ago. Tilden at that time occupied the role of a patriotic soldier willing to give his all in defense of the cup from foreign invasions. But now the position of the United States in international tennis is reversed. Tire United States no longer has it. France has it and the opinion is not isolated that France is going to have the cup for some time to come. That part of Tilden's public which rallied to him Iffore, may be silent or slightly casual this year because of the opinion the United States is out of it for some time. a a a TILDEN LOSES A POINT TILDEN knocked one out of bounds when he didn't communicate his objections to the plans made by the association for the I’ecovery of the cup. Instead he popped up before the members of a district association and opened Are on the plan to enter the American team in the American rone preliminaries instead of the European zone. He said, probably from experience. that the American challengers would need more time in Europe to prepare for the challenge round and he could have stopped there. But, he added that if the association didn't reverse its decision, he and Him ter would take their racquets and go to Europe regardless. The association could do nothing, under these circumstances, but refuse to accept an ultimatum that had been made so publicly. It isn’t every one that likes to lose In public when a private fight might have brought about a compromise. a a a NAVY METHODS WRONG THE method of approach used in the controversy between West, Point and Annapolis on the eligibility code of the Army institution looks also to have been the fault of the Navy. The Navy, by conducting a newspaper campaign against the Army, lost a lot of sympathy and it was not based on wisdom. The Navy came out flatly and said if the Army didn’t stop recruiting football teams by a method which had resulted in numerous beatings for the midshipmen, the Navy wouldn’t play them any more. The Army, admitting some of the charges of the Navy were justified, cannot be blamed for standing on soldierly feet and replying—“lf you don’t like us, quit playing. We’ll release you from a contract you signed with us In which you did not object to our eligibility rules.” The Army-Navy football game nay not be played this year, but it’s an odds on bet that relations vill be resumed, as they will eventrally between Harvard and Princeton.

Final 36 Holes of SIO,OOO Golf Meet to Be Played Sunday

Vet Chicago Team Faces I. U. Tonight Crimson Cagers Expect Trouble From CloseGuarding Maroons. Bu Time* Svccial BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Jan. 6.—A veteran University of Chicago basketball team will face Indiana University here tonight in the first Big Ten game of the season. Chicago's starting line-up Includes four men who saw action last year when the Maroons defeated the Hoosiers. The other player is a beginner in Big Ten court games, but has proved a "find” among the sophomores making bids for midway positions. The quartet of veterans are McDonough, Gist, Farwell and Hoerger, Chagnon is the new star of the Maroons and has a high individual score in early games this season. There will be no change in the starting Une-up for Indiana. Beckner, Muncie, or Starr, Anderson, are slated for one forward, with Wells, La Porte, holding down the other. McCracken, Monrovia, will jump center, with Captain Correll, Bloomington. at floor guard. Scheid, Vincennes, or Gill, Washington, will take care of the other guard position. Chicago defensive power may prove a stumbling block for the Hoosiers. The Maroons have presented a strong guarding combination heretofore and have caused much trouble to the fast offense used by Coach Dean. There will be no second team game tonight, thus permitting the varsity teams to battle at 7:30 o'clock. The probable starting line-ups: CHICAGO INDIANA Chagnon F Beekncr, Starr McDonough F Wells Gist C McCracken Farwell G Correll Hoerger G Scheid, Gill Referee, Dale Miller; umpire, J. J. Molony.

-OFF the \ BACKBOARD ©a, j By NORMAN E. ISAACS - '

The stalling proposition again has entered basketball conversation and much of the gab spilled about these days is relative to the noted and rather unpopular practice of the so-called delayed offense. The gentlemen who regulate the winter pastime can label this style of performanee with any fancy or dignified monicker that can pop into the.’r minds, but, nevertheless, to our board of directors, it still is, perhaps crudely,

referred to as the stall. Dr. Walter E. Meanwell of Wisconsin and C’raip Ruby of Illinois are two of the most persistent gentlemen in this domain whotlnsist the dribble is the direct result of stalling. And as a result what, perhaps, is basketball’s most spectacular play is the target of a bombardment of verbal and written outbursts. Last year Indiana was stirred more than a trifle when an uproar against stalling tactics arose after that memorable Logansport-Frankfort game which Frankfort won. 10 to 7, by virtue of holding the ball probably more than two-thirds of the time. At that time Off The Backboard suggested anew ruling that would help curb the undesirable practice of withholding the ball from play. naa The I. H. S. A. A.*Board of Control "followed through” on somewhat the same lines by requesting the National Rules Committee to legislate regarding this element in the hardwood sport. m j* a THIS correspondent’s suggestions still stands. The referee is invested with almost unlimited power. Add to it! If, in the opinion of the major official, a team deliberately is withholding the ball from play a technical foul should be inflicted, awarding the ball to the opposing team for an out-of-bounds thrownin. And, if that will not break up the stalling game, give Craig Ruby’s idea a show. This is what the Illinois net coach has to say about it; •’Coaches more end more realize that when their team is ahead. It ha3 a better chance to win by going into a stalling attack. and many inferior teams win because the coach has developed this attack. "My belief that the one bounce roll will create a better game is based on six weeks' practice with it last spring. le means more passes, more intercepted passes and more activity by players geserally. "Coaches can not visualize this by brief experiments as it will take a season for players to adjust themselves to the change." mam JUST about the time the readers are glancing at this display of male beauty Mr. Backboard probably will have the old right foot pressed down on the accelerator heading

into Bloomington for the opening of the Conference basketball season. In that city at 7:30 this evening Indiana and Chicago will line up against each other ready for the initial “tweet” from Dale Miller’s whistle. At the center post for I. U. will be none other than Branch McCracken of Monrovia fame. McCracken probably

McCracken

is the outstanding sophomore candidate with the Bloomington' squad. The former Monrovia flash is nineteen years of age and weighs 194 pounds. The Crimson expects trouble with the close-guarding Chicago outfit, but nevertheless McCracken is an almost “sure pop” to slip a few field goals through the meshes. De Pauw fans are not any too chipper these days. Stanley Byram, veteran center-forward with the Tigers for two seasons, has been forced to abandon basket

first few rounds, but his superior boxing skill and perfectly conditioned fighting body staved off impending defeat and he carried on to win the toughest fight of his career. The ripping, tearing Lomski was out-boxed and made to look bad in the latter rounds of the fifteenround bout, but in the first round and several rounds thei’eafter he looked like the new 175-pound champion. Less Than Minute Rushing out of his corner like a tiger-man, Lomski knocked Loughran a somersault half way across the ring with a crashing right flush to the jaw in less than a minute of fighting in the opening round. Loughran was on his knee at six, but did not arise until nine. Lomski tore in after the champion and less than a minute later knocked him sprawling with another terrific right to the jaw which left Loughran weak and bewildered. Loughran got up slowly at nine and stayed away from Lomski for the rest of the round. Loughran said in his dressing room after the fight he didn’t remember being knocked down a second time. “The second right to my jaw must have knocked me senseless, for I do not remember being on the floor more than once,” he said. Kept Trying Hard Although he was badly outclassed toward the end of the bout, Lomski never once relinquished the offensive. He kept everlastingly after Loughran, swinging wildly and ineffectively, but always moving in'”the direction of his target. And Tommy had to call upon every trick known to ring science to outpoint this slam-bang, rough and ready Westerner. A crowd of 15,000 paid $78,000 to see the bout.
