Dyed-in-the-wool Hoosier basketball fans, and even some not so dyed, were surprised, yea, •vcn a little shocked, that the Washington Hatchets, wearers of the Indiana basketball toga, were able to gain no more than a twopoint verdict over the Athens, Tex.. Hornets, national champions by virtue of their triumph in the interscholastic toumcy at Chicago last spring. ana Even morf un>rl*ed were they when they learned that until the last few minutes of play, the team that has withstood the attacks of some of the stronzest quintets this old state, often referred to as the cradle of basketball, could offer, had trailed by three points in the finals minutes of play. a a a The fact that deeoit-e their long train hopr. and games every night, the Texans were abie to put up such a gallant ftght with a truly strong ouintet makes them worthy holders of the alleged national crown. Two points isn't a very decisive victory and the Hornets mav surprise a few of their eight other Indiana opponents.

Big 'Fen Athletic Directors Criticise Butler's Grid Plan

BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. Dec. 23.—Suggestions that inter-collegiate football be endowed by alumni groups and gate receipts be abolished to relieve “overemphasis” met with unanimous criticism today from athletic directors and educational leaders of Big Ten conference schools. Although the suggestions, advanced by Dr- Nicholas Murray Butler, president of the Columbia university of New York, generally were accepted as a unique and revolutionary idea, University of Chicago officials pointed out that the same plans were advocated in 1204 i y Dr. William Rainey Harper, then president of the Chicago school. Even then, according to President Harper, the idea was not new. DrHarper, in making his 1904 athletic report, suggested many other changes which have since been adopted almost universally, but his alumni endowment and free admission proposals were rejected. Present day Chicago officials oppose the endowment plan. Athletic Director A. A. Scagg sees nothing wrong in the administration of athletics in the Big Ten conference and prefers to keep sports out of the hands of the alumni. George Huff, athletic director at the University of Illinois, called the endowment suggestion absurd and ridiculous. “The proposal that athletics be financed by means of alumni endowments is absurd,” said Huff. “If alumni have money to give they can find plenty of places for it in every educational institution without indorsing an activity which is paying its own way. “I do not regard it as an impossibility for a university to maintain intellectuals and standards and still gain a degree of success in athletics. Most of our present trouble comes from the ambition of

Kenneth L. Wilson, Northwestern athletic director, agreed with Dr. Scott and pointed out that the west already has an “athletic league of nations,” similar to the organization suggested by Dr. Butler, in the Eig Ten conference.

There is a friendly feeling between the Cleveland Americans and Indianapolis and The Times predicts this feeling will ripen into a business arrangement whereby the Hoosiers will obtain athletes for departments that need bolstering Manager Corriden desires one more outfielder and two or three more pitchers. Second base also is a doubtful position. A bang in the minors and a bust in the majors describes Nick t'ullon home run champion of the A. A. last season. He has been up in the big show countless times with different teams only to drop back when the major pitchers rifled their fast balls under his chin. He will start, f hj.th® Cincy Reds next spring. Nick was awarded $7,500 by Judge* Landis last spring when he claimed Brooklyn and Atlanta were giving him the run-around.
