Off The ♦ Backboard By Vern Boxell

IT’S a long way cff, but local cage fanatics have r. real battle in store for them. At least, that's the way it stacks up now. Tim Campbell's Tech quintets have ruled the roost for the last few seasons, practically unmolested. Cast season, Shortridge threatened to take a cut of the honors, but the green tossers conclusively proved in two encounters that they still were the best of a fair lot. a a tt Shortridge hex plared two nmo thl" reason. A now pilot la at the holm of the blue traft, on* Kenneth Peterman, who developed the Wiley Red Streaks of Terre Haute Into one of the strongest teams In the state last season. Peterman likea long and lean athletes, and be has a whole squad full of ’em at the northaide school this year. In two games, the Shortridge veterans hate shown better than average strength and promise of a bright future. ana Tech didn't *,gure to go verv far this season. Os course, as lone as Tim Campbell is teaching the castsiders Intricate strategies of the drlbble-and-rhot pastime. the creen will be capablv represented on the hardwood. But Tim had to start at the bottom. He lost every Tegular last spring. Tech lourneved to Rorhetser for the opening came Friday and handed the Zebras their seventh straight pa*ting. a feat that reautred little skill The next night Tech played Martinsville, a team that already had participated In several games against topnotch Quintets. After the game, Glenn Curtis. Artesian roach, said the southerners were luckv to v/in. Tech also has tome rangy pastlmers. a a a Unfortunately, the two city rivals will not get together until the city tourney. Then Peterman and Campbell probablv will keep their squad under wraps. But the sectional tourney is only a rouple of weeks later, and then fans should he treated to what the headline writers term a '‘classic.” tt a a Meanwhile. Shortridge and Tech have several stern foes to handle, and no later than this week-end they both will be put to severe tests. Shortridge will Journey to Marlon, the home of the once-great Giants. Back In the days of Murphy. Chapman, et al. prospects for a Shortridge victory over the up-staters would have been as small as two minus two. But things have changed in that little town on the Mlssisslnewa (that’s a river) and the Tuabemen lately have been classed in that over-crowded division known rs "average.” If the Blue have gained their full stride by Friday, they may be able to avenge that one-point defeat the Giants handed them here last year. tt n tt Tech faces Munele at the east side gym Saturday, and will warm up for that came by taking on Greenfield at that place Friday. Greenfield held Shortridge to a 'J9 to 19 triumph last week and hardly can hope to do better against the east siders. But Muncic will be a different story. tt a a Os the quintet which upset Frankfort In the semi-finals a‘ the field house last Match and gave Washington a tough tussle In the tile battle, four are in uniform.

In ihe recenv victory over Anderson. Mann scored seven field goals and Icerman four. However, if Tech shows the same fight against the Bearcats they did against Martinsville, the result mav be surprising. a a tt The Horace Mann team which lost 27 so 1* to Central of Ft. Wayne Saturday was not the one which defeated Hammond, 20 to 7 ou Friday. It was Keith Crown's “B” team. That’s different!

Cruising in Sportland

THE publicity department of the Tournament of Roses is out on a limb trying to figure out a line of selling chatter for the New Year game between Washington State and Alabama. Notre Dame uncorked so much big league stuff out there last Saturday, coast sport followers have lost interest in further classics this season. The native sons are still in a Belgian fog. a b n .Joe Savoldi missed Notre Dame more than Notre Dame missed Savoldi. Ask Southern California. a u u Call 'em the Eleven Horsemen and you won't be far wrong. What team of picked all-stars could out run ’em? In two drills at Tucson, Bucky O'Connor was converted from a sub half back into an ace first string full back. There's a break for the Tucson Chamber of Commerce. U B THERE'S no question about it now. Knute Rockne pulled his punches in several games and completely fooled enemy scouts. Hunk Anderson, line coach, comes in for a share of the glory. When opposing teams threatened to score, fumbles often balked their efforts. Hunk would smile then. a a a Professional league basketball is showing poor returns at the box office. League hockey has gained the upper hand in some big cities, while in others unemployment has hurt the paid netters. a a a “It seems like a dream.” Shano Collins said when asked how he felt

CAMERON United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Dec. 9.—The new year isn't quite with us yet. but the major league baseball season of 1931 started today when the “hot air” phase of the campaign was reached.

TO BE HONORED By United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 9.—“lrish day,” proclaimed in honor of the 1930 Notre Dame football team, will be observed in Chicago when the Notre Dame team returns from California, en route to South Bend, Ind.

STAHL LOSES FIRST By Times Special DAYTON. 0.. Dec. 9. Jude Stahl, former Butler university football player, lost his first ring bout to Eddie Dickey, vet Dayton heavyweight, in the fifth round here Monday when he injured his arm. Stahl was out in front when forced to retire.

Three main objectives lie in the paths of the magnates: 1. Somethin* about the draft. 2. As to the home run menace. 3. Player sales and trades. The first is the most important. The bickering over the draft has been going on for years, but baseball men believe that a definite settlement will be effected within the next couple of days. While there has been no official announcement of such a meeting, and although John A. Heydler, National League president, Monday said there would be none, it was believed that the minor leagues draft committee and major league representatives would hold a joint session before Thursday. Each of the major leagues will try to do something about finding a curb for home runs. The American favors erection of screens at places where lightly struck drives usually become homers. Some National League leaders have proposed a zoning arrangement whereby some hits that used to go for homers would be credited as hits of two or three bases. An important objection to the zone plan is that there would be many dead balls. While they are arguing about the homer menace, the leaders will also consider other rule changes. The present sacrifice rule may be altered to include only intentionally bunted balls. There probably will be lots of player deals. There were none of importance Monday. Contract Grief Strikes Herman By United Press GLENDALE. Cal.. Dec. 9.—Babe Herman, Brooklyn Robins’ slugging outfielder, has returned unsigned a contract for 1931 which would cut his salary by $4,000, lie said today.
