MANY IMPORTANT SPORTS EVENTS CARDED IN 1930

Galaxy of Features Scheduled Calendar Holds Promise of Bout Between Sharkey and Schmeling. BY FRANK GETTY. NEW YORK, Jan. I.—Lovers of sport—and 50,000,000 Americans ; can’t be wrong—can look forward I with high hopes to the new year. The calendar holds a promise of renewal of international sports feaures on an unprecedented scale—yachting for the America's cup, polo at Meadowbrook and a real heavyweight championship fight. Golf and tennis will have new international aspects; so will horse racing, with French and English thoroughbreds carrying foreign colors in a SIOO,OOO stake race at Chicago. When jaunty Sir Thomas Lipton, age of sportsmen, brings his latest Shamrock across the Atlantic to race an American defender at Newport next summer, an historic series will be resumed after a lapse of seven years. Bout to Come Off The English, whose challenge for the international cup was beaten off by Tommy Hitchcock and his aids at Meadowbrook two years ago, again are sending a polo team in quest of the trophy for which England and the United States have competed since 1889. Not even the bungling of amateur promoters who succeeded the late Tex Rickard is likely to prevent the bout for which a disappointed fight public has been waiting, that between Jack Sharkey, U. S. A., and Max Schmeling of Germany. Until this pair has had it out for fifteen rounds or so, no satisfactory substitute for Gene Tunney can be named. Followers of golf and tennis are likely to find their chief interest in 1930 centered upon events abroad. Bobby to Head Lists Bobby Jones will head a group of amateurs who will seek honors on the English links, with the Atlantan himself shooting for the amateur championship of Great Britain, the one major honor cf the two lands which has eluded the magic of his golf. There is every prospect pleasing to the turf fan, for in addition to the new $140,000 Agua Caliente Derby, the richest of all racing stakes in history, there will be an international race at Arlington park. The new managers in the major leagues and shifts of prominent coaches will lend new interest to baseball and football, respectively.

?he BACKBOARD BY VERN BOXELL

AS Hazzy Silverburg in the Muncie Press says, the holiday season marks the annual breathing spot when,coaches and players may pause for a brief rest, gaze back on the results accomplished during the early part of their schedule, and get ready to take off for the last lap of the strenuous grind. It goes without saying that if a basketball team has not started to exhibit some strength by the start of the new year, there is little likelihood of success crowning the campaign’s efforts. There >*re exceptions, but the rule generally is iron clad. m m m With the start of the new year. Washington high school'* Hatchets, coached by Burl Friddle. are regarded by many fan* a* the strongest prep quintet In the state. Whether the Hatchet* can maintain their present daiztlng pace through the remainder of the schedule is questionable. In my mind. In some circle*, it is held doubtful. They are undefeated in nine games, and most of their victories have been decisive. Columbus, Anderson, Frankfort, Horace Mann of Gary, Connersville, Martinsville. Muncie, Tech. Vincennes, Greencastle. Delphi. Logansport. Kokomo. La Porte. Washington of East Chicago, Marion and Shelbyville ought to complete the state's big eighteen, in the opinion of Backboard.

MODERN ATHLETIC SYSTEM FLAYED BY SCHOOL CHIEF

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY. United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK. Jan. I.—Five farreaching changes in intercollegiate athletics were suggested today by Frank P. Day, president of Union college, at the opening session of the annual convention of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The proposals follow: 1. That we stop making money and do away with gate receipts. 2. That we give up professional coaching, scouting, subsidizing, directing from the sidelines, and come I back to amateur coaching. 3. That leagues be formed among colleges that wish to play truly am-1 ■ . >, -

Illinois cagers, rated as “dark horses” in the 1930 Western Conference hardwood campaign, will make their second attempt to turn back a Hoosier foe when they invade Butler field house Thursday night. The Illini dropped a onepoint decision to De Pauw at De Pauw at Champaign two weeks ago. Coach Ruby’s quintet has been, playing without the services of Captain (Gaga) Mills, one of the best guards in the conference, who was ordered off the hardwood for one month due to physical condition after a strenuous grid campaign. Whether Ruby will use him against the national champions, or hold him for the conference competition is unknown. Harper scored six field goals against De Pauw. May was the keyman of the attack and Kamp played a strong defensive game and aided in the scoring.

That all our athletes be open and above board and in the full light of day and that our ideal be to give every student in college a chance to participate in athletics.” In concluding. Day said that the burden of righting the wrongs of athletics rested with the college j presidents. “We are largely to blame,” said Day. “Our curricula often are so 1 dull and stilted that students rush i into their own activities to find the I Best and reality of life.” love for money was characterized

Yankees Hard to Beat in ’3O, Asserts Manager Bob Shawkey New Pilot Confident of Big Year for Gotham’s American Leaguers: Ownie Bush More Given to Deals Than Words.

(Copyright by United Press) NEW YORK. Jan. I.—The defeat of the New York Yankees by the Philadelphia Athletics in the 1929 pennant race will be just another reason why the Yanks are likely to resume a pennant winning stride in 1930, Bob Shawkey, the club’s new manager, told the United Press today. Shawkey, who was appointed after the close of the past season as successor to the late Miller Huggins, is confident New York will win the American League flag this year. “The very fact the Yankees were beaten last season should make them harder to beat in 1930!” Bob said. “In fact, I look for them to win the American League pennant again in the coming race, provided our pitching holds up as it should with Waite Hoyt. Herb Pennock and Henry Johnson back in form.” More given to deeds than words

by Day as the root of all evils, including college athletics. “In this vast athletic venture in which we are engaged,” said Day, “we have capitalized the spirit of young men to make a vast show for the public. Our college athletics no longer are college affairs. They are spectacles for the public, a public a large part of which has no ■ college affiliation, and often no special knowledge of the game.” “It seems to me that it is bad sportsmanship for the teams of the j smaller colleges to engage in games in which are mere matters of practicee for the big universities, but serious matters of life and limb for the small colleges,” said Day. \Again. it is a matter of money.

I.—The swift traveling Notre Dame basketball team battled its way to a 22-to-19 victory over Northwestern here Tuesday night. The game was closely contested throughout. A thrilling finish turned the tide in favor of the Irishmen after the Wildcats had held a one-point advantage for the major portion of the conflict. The Purple held a 10-to-9 lead at the half and with two minutes remaining in the last half, the locals were in front, 19-18. Smith.

in baseball. Ownie Bush, new White Sox boss, wired from his home in Indianapolis: “Having been out of the American League for five years,” he pointed out, “I am unable to make a fair prediction regarding the coming pennant race. “The White Sox have plenty of speed, fair pitching and a fair infield, but need more punch in the outfield. With even breaks we will finish as good or better than last year.” Another new American League pilot, Bill Killefer, who succeeded Dan Howley as manager of the St. Louis Browns, sounds a hopeful note. “Our club should be much stronger I than in 1929,” Killefer wired from his West Chester (Pa.) home. “I feel that we will be in the race from start to finish.” Walter Johnson, manager of the Washington Senators, says modestly: “We haven’t got a bad ball club. We have four young fellows, Brown, Liska, Hadley and Burke, who have lots of stuff. If they find themselves this year, the Senators will give any team a good run for its money.” Technical in Action j \ i Campbell-Coached Five to Meet Kokomo, Rusliville Basket Teams. j Coach Tim Campbell Tuesday j continued to drive his Tech squad in i preparation for two hard games this: week-end.

Kokomo, Big Ten team, got off to a slow start, but hit a fast pace to down Anderson and other strong teams. Rushville, while not as, strong as in former years, will force the Green team at top speed.

Big colleges pay handsome guarantees and the small colleges are willing to endure a drubbing, but in other sporting matters we do not proceed in this way, and match a famous heavyweight against an almost unknown lightweight.” President Day said he did not expect his remarks to be popular with coaches drawing salaries of $20,000, or alumni who believe a college is promoted by the excellence of its athletic teams at any cost, or by the multitude for whom the college games are staged. "I can not hope that these remarks of mine will have much effect,” concluded Day. “I merely have echoed the thought of hundreds of other peqpife*

The assurance that Lom and Riegels of California would be in the lineup for the western stars was looked upon by local fans as giving their team the edge. Opinion is that the easterners, with Sleight of Purdue and Cannon and Twomey of Notre Dame in the line, would present the stronger forward wall.
