Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. Jan. 7.—There is no need of further proof that Arthur Shires, the baseball-prize fighter, is a most unusual character. There was evidence indicating as much during the 1929 baseball season, when, by dint of his audacity and aggressions, he wrote a series of unique chapters in the *eason'n records, in explanation of which he stated that while it takes the average ball player years to become a celebrity, he intended to become one immediately.

Collegiate Athletics Come in for Some New Criticism

Harvard President Suggests One Contest in Each Sport Annually; Famous Swimmer Airs His Story.

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent. NEW YORK. Jan. 7.—Suggestions and criticisms of inter-collegiate athletics, growing out of the Carnegie foundation report, continue to make their almost daily appearance. If the now famous bulletin No ID does nothing else, it certainly has stimulated a storm of protests anu solutions from the country at large. Two of the latest to be heard from are President A. Lawrence Lowell of Harvard university and George Kojac, Rutgers swimming star, who is the holder of many world records. President Lowell’s plan is for each university to have but one

U., city rivals, clash here, and Terre Haute Normal, with victories over De Pauw and Wabash, will meet the Indiana “B” quintet at Bloomington, in other games Wednesday. Hanover invades Vincennes for the only game Thursday. Wabash and Butler, rivals of long standing, top Friday’s bill. They will meet at Butler fieldhouse. Pete Vaughan, the veteran Scarlet mentor, has scouted most of the Bulldog’s battles, and is aiming at an upset. Terre Haute Normal entertains Concordia of Ft. Wayne, Manchester journeys to Kalamazoo, Mich., and Oakland City will be host to Hanover in other games Friday. Indiana and Purdue, the Hoosier twins, will open their western conference schedules Saturday, the Hoosiers journeying to Chicago, and Purdue playing Michigan at Lafayette.

Rivals to See Action Tonight Bloomington to Be Scene of Hardwood Fracas Between State Foes. Pm Time* Special BLOOMINGTON. Ind.. Jan. 7. Indiana university's basketball team, twice defeated in as many starts will make its final attempt to break into the pre-conference win column tonight in the annual tilt with Notre Dame here. Notre Dame has played inconsistently this season, dividing a pair of contests with Northwestern, favorites in the conference title race, and dropping a close decision to Ohio State, one of the dark horse entries in the chase. The Irish also hold victories over three early season foes. Indiana has been dropped by De Pauw, Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania. In each game the Hoosiers have shown improvement. One of the main problems facing Coach Dean has been to find a running mate for Strickland at forward. B. Miller of Waldron probably will get the call tonight. Zeller and Massey, sophomores, are other candidates. Captain McCracken, wdio has led the. Hoosiers in every game this season, will start at center, with Jasper ready to relieve him. Velier probably will get the call over Eber at floor guard, and Blagrave may displace the veteran Gill in the back guard post. Coach Keogan will select his forward starters from Newbolt, McCarthy and Crowe. De Cook probably will be seen at center, with the veterans, Smith and Donovan, at guards. The game will give Indiana a. chance to gain a .500 ranking in the state collegiate conference. The Hoosiers were defeated in their previous state game by De Pauw, and will not meet Purdue or other members of the league. Lavton Trails •/ in (die Event Bv United Prcef NEW YORK.
