Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. Dec. 23. I HAVE never been able to distinguish at first glance between a well-oiled anchovy and an anemic sardine and I also find, as the years whiz by, a growing difficulty in determining which is productive of the ereater ennui: a baseball magnate talking baseball, or a football executive talking football. Recently the two major leagues gathered in New York with characteristic solemnity and devoted the better part of one whole week to a profound consideration of such a vitally absorbing problem as the advisability of continuing to serve soda pop in glass containers in the various local jurisprudences. a a a One of the stirrinE moment* of tbe meettn* tine when the president of the National Oeacue rose to his feet unassisted and in deep impressive iratturala revealed in certified statistic* the nrerise number of baseball* that bad been used hr the elirht team* in hi* leaene durin* the conduct of the 1020 season. a a a 'T'O the sideline observer the net. result of the meeting did not appear commensurate with the time involved or energy expended, granting that time and energy mean anything in the life of a baseball magnate. and the mystery persists why these weighty matters are not turned over to a couple of fairly efficient office boys to settle at lunch between sandwiches. a a a But If the aftermath of a baseball season is steeped in tinseled trivialities it at least pretends to a naive earnestness In spirit that Is seldom found In the December blatherinirs of football men who. when exposed to public view, almost invariable proceed lo anoint themselves with athletic piety. a a a BILL ROPER, the Princeton coach, seems after all these tfears to have come to the decision Hiat publicity is undesirable, and if the world is to take him at his v.’ord, as uttered at a recent public dinner, the less attention the newspapers pay to his teams in the future the happier he will be. Roper did not have a very happy time of it the past season and some of the comments made about the team and the manner in which it was handled were not exactly flattering and the possibility that this fact may have influenced the veteran coach’s desire for solitude and silence is not to be ignored.

Huko Bfzdek. who coaches Penn State, sponsored a ramblin* address the other flight in which he professed a tremendous seal for the virtues of class room work as opposed to temptations of the athletic field. Despite the fact that Be/dek has made his livelihood as a professional athlete for A (treat number of fears it appears that hit main Interest in life is the dissemination of knowledge of the proper sort among the youth of the nation, nan BEZDEK. who once fought in the Chicago prize rings and later .managed the Pittsburgh Pirates, finally has seen the great white light of truth and he is now willing to scrap any athletic system, which faintly threatens to impede the growth of culture. In words to the same pointed effect Bezdek said in his address that athletics are a nuisance and it might be a good thing for all if they were tossed into the dean’s wastepaper basket. Like Mr. Roper, Mr. Bezdek also had a very unhappy season and there is nothing about unhappiness, even when it relates merely to a football schedule, that is calculated to breed optimism, good will and a cheerful outlook. n a a Major W. n. McKellar. faculty athletic director of the University of the South, achieved the headlines at a recent meeting of the Southern Intercollegiate Association by proposing that athletes be paid a stipulated sum for their box-office contributions to the schools treasury. n tt tt The major argued that this was no more than fair since the athlete’s performances attracted cash customers and that this logically; entitled him to participate in the gate receipts. Besides, the major thought such an arrangement was j more desirable than doing virtu-1 ally the same thing clandestinely. nun TAKEN at. its face value the major’s proposition is not totally lacking in merit. If the assumption is accepted that colleges finance athletes, then obviously the honorable process is to do It openly. I imagine here and there you will find a few scattered colleges that do go in for this sort of thing. But certainly only a few By his plea for universal commer- : ciallsm. the major manages, by im- ! plication, to tar all colleges with the same brush, which is neither honorable nor fair.

Right after this we opened the next epistle. tt m tt Dear Backboard —The boys have been yapping at Ole Joe Clutch's heels for his remarks about Shortridge and Manual and now that dear old S. H. S. has won a ball game the yelps will become more fluent. Ole Joe didn’t say one-tenth of the things I'd like to say. A few years ago someone made up a list of nicknames for basketball teams and Shortridge got all hot and bothered because the boys were called the “most handsome” team. That’s one part of the trouble. Give me a guy with a plain, flat pan, but who can handle a basketball without worrying about the girls in the bleachers, rather than a fellow with a Grecian nose and pompadour hair, who worries continually about the girl in the red hat, aisle six, seat nine. I’m from Shortridge. I'm not ashamed of it. But sometimes I, do get a little bit crestfallen over our basketball team.

Montana may score 110 points against some classy western squads, but they shouldn’t be any closer than five points to the Bulldogs when the gun roars at the field house tonight. tt n Picking average for the week-end was Just fair. We missed four out of sixteen, including high schools and colleges. Indiana and Horace Mann of Gary fell down on us Saturday, Tech, Cathedral and the Bulldogs coming through. An average of .750 Isn’t so hot, but not so bad for a starter. tt a it This “shot” for Washington should be extra heavy. The “iron man” stunt they pulled in defeating Franklin and then journeying 200 miles through snow to wallop Horace Mann of Gary, calls for something like that. an Off hand, as it were, we would say that right now Washington. Frankfort. Columbus. Anderson. Horace Mann, Franklin, Connersyiile. I-ogansport. Kokomo. Muncie, Tech of Indiauapoiis. Newcastle. Delphi.

Army Drills at Stanford Cadets Are Welcomed After Long Trip.

The Army squad, numbering more than one hundred, including the varsity, plebes, coaches, trainers, cooks and others, arrived here Sunday night after a strenuous journey, and lost no time in seeking beds. The thirteen-car special train was many hours overdue, because of storms. Students and several hundred citizens greeted the Army players at Palo Alto station and escorted them to the campus. Chris Cagle, captain and back field star of the West Pointers, was the center of interest as the team held its first practice. Coach Biff Jones was not expected to hold heavy practices or scrimmages for a day or two. to allow his men to get rid of train stiffness.

Coach Unsigned, Purdue States Bv Times Soeritil LAFAYETTE, Ind., Dec. 23.—Purdue athletic officials Saturday denied the report of a few days ago that Noble Kizer, line coach, had been appointed head football mentor to succeed Jimmy Phelan, resigned. It is admitted, however, that Kizer is the leading candidate for the position, unless Nelson Kellogg, athletic director, is figuring on treating Bcilermarker followers to a surprise. Hobart Woodworth, director of publicity for the Western Conference champions and other lines of Purdue endeavor, said he expected an official announcement on the subject of the new head coach to be made some time this week. Kizer took a mediocre line the last season and developed it into the real article.

He had been approached in connection with several such positions, he said, but had accepted none of them.

utes before it did much damage. Rival back guards sharer' honors during the evening., Tackett, Hinkle’s new goal defender, who built up quite a reputation while pastiming for Glenn Curtiss at Martinsville, made good everything that has been said of him by holding Stretch Murphy, Purdue’s all-America center, scoreless from the field. This is just one goal better than Bugg did last year, when the Bulldogs won, 28 to 27. Kid Boots, Boilermaker back guard, starred for the losers. He covered the entire court on defense in addition to leading his mates in scoring with five field goals. Most of his attempts were from mid-court. Hosier. Bulldog floor guard, also was much in evidence. HLs assignment for the evening was to stop Harmeson, one of the best forwards in the Western Conference. He did this in addition to scoring seven points. Purdue played without the services of Johnny Wooden, flashy sophomore floor guard, who was injured in an accident Saturday at Lafayette and did not make the trip. Christopher, Allen and Hildebrand were important cogs in the Butler offense, and successfully executed some of the cleverest and fastest plays seen on the local hardwood. Hinchman, the only Bulldog substitute used, turned in a creditable performance. Trailing 36 to 17, the Boilermak ers cut loose in tho last six minutes to score twelve points. This rally took place following the removal of Captain Hildebrand of Butler on fouls.

Friddle Five Victorious in Nine Battles Versatile Southerners Add Franklin and Horace Mann to List. Washington Hatchets today occupied the top perch of Indiana high school basketball. Alter approximately four weeks of scrambling, in which upsets have been numerous, the husky Gold and Black quintet, coached by Burl Friddle, former Franklin star, stood out as the only major undefeated team. '1 he Hatchets hacked out their eighth and ninth consecutive victories over the weekend under most trying circumstances. Two topnotch outfits and snowdrifts failed to halt the victory march of the southerners. Franklin, conquerors of Marttasvillle, fell by an impressive 34-15 margin Friday. After a 200-mile trip through snow-covered central and northern Indiana, the Hatchets arrived in Gary Saturday night and humbled Horace Mann, 26 to 13. Great Team Work An air-tight five-man defense and an offense in which every man plays an important role has carried the Hatchets to the pinnacle. DeJernet, husky Negro center, is the key man of the offense and the backbone of the defense, while Englehart is the ‘ dead-eye" shot of the outfit. These two rank among the cleverest courtmen on state prep hardwoods. Heavenridge, a cool, heady player; Gilmore, a speedy guard with a basket eye, and McCracken, a back guard of merit, are other stellar performers on the team. An unusual feature of the Hatchets’ play is the versatility of the team. At any stage of the game, De Jemet or one of the forward* may be playing at backguard. They change their style of attack with ease and rapidity. Others Show Class A pack of strong quintets are close on the heels of the Friddlemen. Frankfort, Columbus, Horace Mann. Anderson. Martinsville, Connersville, Logansport, Tech of Indianapolis, Newcastle and Delphi top the list. Among Indianapolis schools. Tech, Shortridge and Cathedral copped honors this week.
