Bulldogs Nose Out Alabama

BY VERN BOXELL WHICHEVER of the seven deities is assigned to watch over Butler s cage destinies had a very busy evening Monday at the fieldhouse. The Bulldog record today read four victories and no defeats but most of the fans who witnessed their 23 to 20 victory over Alabama s husky tossers were agreed that a coupie of handfuls of luck, some superb defensive work by Marshall Tackett and five timely free throws by Chadd were all that pulled them through. Alabama's veteran quintet, playing together for the third year, came to Indianapolis boasting two consecutive southern conference championships and twenty-three triumphs without a break From the opening whistle, It was a defensive battle. The Crimson Tide's five-man style stopped Butler's flashy offense time and again. The Bulldog’s anti-scoring measures proved practically as puncture proof. a a a BUTLER S chief trouble was In handling the ball. Tony Hinkle’s boys had but one rehearsal during the preceding week and they showed it. Proffit and Miller were •the chief offenders, both finding it extremely difficult to retain a firm grip on the leather. In the second period, Proffit was so disturbed by this defect that he traveled with the ball on several occasions and was withdrawn from the contest. Aiken, husky center, was the backbone of the invading quintet. His one hand push shots netted eight points for the southerners and he turned in a sparkling defensive exhibition. W. Laney also proved hard for the locals to stop. Although outplayed, Butler held an 11 to 10 advantage at half time by counting on one more gratis attempt than the southerners, each scoring three times from afield. Alabama knotted the count at 13all and went into a two-point lead. Chadd dropped in a pair of attempts from the free stripe to knot the count again at 17-all and then broke the deadlock wth another foul toss. With three minutes to play. Aiken flipped one through the nets ala Johnny Wooden and the Tide again led. 20 to 19. It was Chadd who again put, the Bulldogs in front with two more free throw's, and Reynolds wound up the scoring activities with a field marker.

TIDE PITS POWER AGAINST COUGAR DECEPTION!

Coast Grid Rivals Set Offensive Battle Expected in Rose Tourney Classic. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY, United Press Staff Correspondent PASADENA, Cal.. Dec. 30. Famed for their defensive records. Alabama and Washington State are quite likely to “double in brass’’ when they meet In the Tournament of Roses football game in Rose bowl New Year's day. Although Alabama has rolled up 247 points in nine games the team has yet to unleash the full power of its offense for all of an important game. Washington State has scored 221 points in nine games, but was held to a single touchdown by Southern California and a field goal by Washington. Stresses Offense Workouts of the two Tournament of Roses rivals since they arrived here indicate both are preparing for an offensive battle. Alabama's attack features power and Washington state’s deception. Alabama has stressed offense continually in its workouts with almost no attention at all to defensive drill. The Crimson Tide has never been behind this season, but after scoring early on Tennessee, Vanderbilt and George—Alabama’s three hardest games the southerners coasted home to fairly close victories. This time, it seems, ’Bama plans to “shoot the works.” ’Bama Line Best? After watching the two squads in their drills here, they shape up as follows: ALABAMA 1. More Dower and drive. 2. Hard charging line on offense,* 3. More reserve strength. 4. Better drilled fundamentals. WASHINGTON STATE 1. More dangerous, diversified attack. 2. Better punting, passing and placekicking. 3. Less impressive in training, but apt to rise to occasion in competition because of large number of veterans on team. (Eight members first team have plaved together three years.) 4. Mental attitude better because they have been made underdogs. In weight there is little to choose between the rival lines, but the Alabama forward wall of Clement, Howard, Eerdt, Miller and Sington seems to outclass Washington State's Edwards, Hurley, Hein, Parodi and Ahlskog.

Off The Backboard ss

AFTER a week of more or less inactivity on the part of the majority, but one in which much was decided in a very few encounters, Hoosier prep drapery ticklers will get back into their abbreviated costumes this week and begin their long drive to the wire. From now on, every lick will count as the coaches prepare their youngsters .for the grand slam in the title affairs. The mentors will begin applying the pressure with the coming of the new year, and there may—we’ll venture to say, will—be several changes in the ratings of the leaders. a a a This week's program of promising performances is topped by two so-called “Big Four” tournaments, at Vincennes and at Muncie. They’re iust harmless affairs in which little if anything is at stake and in which everybody has a good time. About the only profit connected with these events are at the box’office, and when you get Washington. Martinsville, Bedford and Vincennes together in one gym for a day’s entertainment. and Muncie. Frankfort, Logansport and Kokomo at another, you’re bound to have no little box office. u tt tt But fans shouldn’t take the results of these sessions too seriously. A little example is the outcome of last year’s southern ’‘blind tourney.” in which Martinsville toppled a previously unbeaten Washington team. Up until last Friday night, that was the only blot against the state champs In forty starts. And we aren’t alone in our belief that this apparently insignificant defeat had much to do with Washington’s winning the state crown. You’ll remember that Martinsville and Washington met in the first round of the state tourney last spring—and the Hatchets breezed in. tt tt tt IF the dope ran true to form, the two tourneys would prove nothing except that 50,000 Hoosiers must be right—Washington and Frankfort are the best teams in the state at the present timt. ,3ut dope is dope and tournament results are something else.

BASKETBALL ROWERS

BY EVERETT S. DEAN Basketball Coach. Indiana University DURING the last few years there has been considerable agitation among coaches for certain rule reforms. Two departments of play to be affected would be stalling and the center jump play. The rules committee has suggested that coaches experiment with different pro-

I posed changes to find out if they merit a trial. This, i no doubt, is the wisest method to follow, for if the “ changes are not satisfactory, no rescinding will be j necessary. The proposed change qn the jump ball at center | is to omit it except at the beginning of each half. After goals, the team scored upon would put the ball in play under its own basket. Coach Sam Barry, former lowa coach now at Southern California, has been j. the main advocate of this change. Dr Meanwell of Wisconsin also has been quoted as favoring this proposal. a a a ONE reason advanced for doing away with the center jump is to eliminate congestion and contact around the center ring. Another is to rid the game of the undue advantage of the unusually tall center.

Many coaches are still working on the limitation of the dribble. The argument in favor of the plan is to discourage stalling tactics and to speed up the game. It has been suggested ‘.hat the dribble be limited to one bounce. This would make a good style of game, but would rob it of the most spectacular offensive weapon. NEXT: of passes, t

fast start, staggered a little after a couple, of pokes on the whiskers, but they’re coming back for more and liking it. tt ts tt And then there’s Muncie. Every year there’s some team of which the fans cry. ‘ Thev re holding out for the tournaments.” Perhaps they’re right, sometimes. Last year was an unusual one in that there were two alleged ’’spofers. Frankfort and Horace Mann. Frankfort came to the state tourney and was beaten by Muncie. while Horace Mann didn't even get away from its sectional. nun After Muncie had bowed to Huntington. Frankfort and Newcastle this year, the cry went up that the Bearcats were fooling the people. Maybe so—we’d like to see this stunt successfully pulled once. Who remembers when Marion, with two all-state men left from a championship quintet, won but two games the following season? But getting back to Muncie, if you care to go back—it’s just a short distance—Jolley’s boys had better turn on the heat this week. Everybody knows it’s there. They may face Frankfort twice in three days—in the tourney and in a scheduled contest on Saturday night at Muncie. Incidentally, Frankfort lost to Muncie in the finals of last year’s “Big Four” tourney. Will history repeat? tt tt tt npHE blind draw and first-round games pits Washington against Vincennes in the southern finals, and if so, there will be some real action, and maybe more than that. If Martinsville gets a chance at the Hatchet, there still will be plenty of action, but probably of a more refined and cultural type. n n tt Our idea of the big scene for the current edition of the “Hoosier Prep Basketball Follies,” now on view at all leading field houses and gyms, would be John Adams, Vsncenes cocah, singing “I’m Crazy for You” to Burl Friddle, Washington coach. tt it tt Muncie and Frankfort will attempt an Athenian stunt on a miniature scale this week. In addition to their previously mentioned activities. Muncie’s inconsistent tossers wlil engaged Bedfords even more erratic Stone Cutters at Bedford ana Frankfort will entertain Lebanon tonight. tt tt tt Lebanon, last year a “breather” on the cards of the state’s major quintets, has turned giant-killer this year. With Shahan and Williams showing the way, they thumped Grecncastlc SO to 19 last Friday, and there may be a little warning for Frankfort in that. tt tt tt Vincennes will play Washington of Fast Chicago tonight, and it looks like the northerners have taken a long hop to get a punch in the thnoot. Wednesday, Herman Bver’s husky Goshen boys invade Huntington, and the north should gain an even break by copping this one. tt tt tt On New Years, the East Chicagoan's play a Central quintet at Evansville. We’U stick with the big men from the south. One of the annual Terre Haute battles is on tap w for Thursday, with Wiley meeting Garfield. IncidentaUy. this Wiley team is not one to be passed over too quickly. They dropped Newcastle. On the other hand, don’t linger too long paying homage to the Red Streaks. They lost to Monrovia, the home of Mr. Branch (Drop 'Em In) McCracken of I. U„ Ft. Wayne. Richmond, Ball Teachers College. Monrovia All-Stars fame. n n tt AREAL battle is in prospect at Newcastle Friday. A. A. Staggs, the people’s choice, has a bunch of tall boys at Anderson who are coming along slowly. And you can take it from ole Backboard that if luck had been with the Indians Muncie’s record would have included four defeats instead of three. The score last Saturday was 26 to 25 and in the last minute of play Anderson fired six times at the hoop, and every one of them looked good—the kind that linger on the iron hoop and then lazily roll off. tt n tt There’s some hot ones on tap for the Wabash Y’alley fans. Among the treasured rivalries in that section are the Green-castle-Brazil affairs, which will be renewed Friday at Brazil. Another is Crawfordsville at Brazil Friday. And then Columbus’ in-and-oulers will invade Shelbyville. The Mackmen have been running smoothly, as the folks in Connersvillc will tell you, and are a real dark horse threat. tt tt Another rivalry scrap for Friday is the Martinsville-Franklin event. Martinsville is coming. Our champions from Washington go to Horace Mann, and the southlanders shouldn't have too much trouble

College Grid Mentors Favor Shorter Practice Seasons

BY HENRY M’LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 30. More than 250 college football coaches from all parts of the country were on their way home today after the most successful convention they have held in years. There was the same talk, the same banter as in former years, but when they adjourned late Monday night the boys had something more than headaches to show for their work. The most important bit of business transacted was the blanket indorsement of the following resolutions : 1. Elimination of all organized practice before Sept. 15. 2. Reduction of post season and charity games to a minimum. 3. Limitation of fall practice to two hours per day. 4. Spring practice. If any. to be elective, and not to interfere with other spring sports. The resolutions are calculated to put an end to possible overemphasis.

Cathedral Five Loses, 17 to 16

By Times Special WASHINGTON. Ind.. Dec. 30, A missed free throw in the last ten seconds of play gave St. Simons of Washington a 17-to-16 triumph over Cathedral of Indianapolis here Monday night. With the Indianapolis five trailing by two points, McCreary, center, missed one of the two free throws that would have sent the game into an overtime. The rivals were deadlocked 6 to 6 at half time, with the victors leading 15 to 11 after three quarters. St. Simons started to stall with the count 17 to 11, but Ford, who starred for the losers with four two-pointers, broke through to tally twice. Cathedral left for Vincennes after the game, where they meet Gibault tonight.

The coaches went on record as favoring retention of all the present playing rules, including the point-after-touchdown, but with two exceptions. The coaches would like a revision of the rule giving the officials power to award the point after touchdown on penalty. They recommended the levying of the penalty and a second try. They also recommended that a kicking team be given the privilege of recovering and running with its own blocked kick. Under the present rules the ball is dead at the point of recovery. The coaches elected the following officers for 1931: President, Chick Meehan, N. Y. U.; first vice-presi-dent, Mai Stevens, Yale; second vice-president, Dan McGugin, Vanderbilt; secretary-treasurer, W H. Cowell, New Hampshire; trustees, Knute Rockne, Notre Dame, chairman; Dana Bible, Nebraska; B. W. Bierman, Tulane, and Eddie Casey, Harvard.

On Dec. 16, the commission demanded that Schmeling agree within fifteen days to meet Sharkey or have his heavyweight championship declared vacant. The fifteen days of grace expires Wednesday. Jacobs, who disapproves of the commissioner’s demand, is expected to express his objection today.

WITH EDDIE ASH RETURNING to the Indianapolis club in the capacity of assistant to the president and scout, Jack Hendricks will tell you a team of mules wouldn’t drag him to the baseball bench again as manager. Fact of the matter, Jack was advised by his physician a year or so ago to get out of the managerial end of the game and stay out if he cared to avoid an abrupt end to his span of life. Physical and mental strain demanded of a diamond pilot will drive any manager punch dizzy in time, especially if he is of the flighty type and a hard loser. Nine years with Indianapolis and six years with Cincinnati “cured” Jack. n 'tt a tt tt a Owner Perry says the placing of Hendricks on the his executive staff as president’s assistant and scout means exactly that and nothing more. Followers of the popular Johnny Corriden who got disturbed and panicky when the Hendricks announcement was issued are advised to rest with all assurances that the red-thatched pilot will be the field and player manager as usual and Hendricks himself states that suggestions by him to Corriden will be made only upon request. The same friendly relations also will jexist between Hendricks and the veteran secretary, Bill Clauer. /

tt tt tt IN the meantime Perry, Corriden and Clauer will ask Hendricks to dig into the notes he collected while scouting the nation for the Chicago Cubs last summer and endeavor to pick off any promising talent that might have been overlooked in the fall draft and winter sales. n tt tt Over at Cleveland there’s going to be a struggle for left, field with three pastimers involved, Jamieson, Seeds and Vosmik. Averill, in center, and Porter, in right, are fix- ■ tures. Perhaps Indianapolis will be in line to grab off an outfielder from Peckinpaughs team and Seeds is mentioned as a likely Hoosier prospect. He used to be in the A. A. with Kansas City. tt it tt WHEN the subject of outfields is brought up Tribe fans enjoy dreaming of 1928 when the speed merchants were together, Layne in left, Matthews in center and Comorosky in right. They were superb on defense and opposing sluggers had a tough time getting a long hit unless the sphere was poled over the fence. Many critics labeled it the swiftest garden trio in A. A. history. Bad luck chiseled in, however, while the flag race was at its hottest, and Layne was knocked out with a broken wrist and Comorosky was recalled by Pittsburgh. tt a a A Class C rookie returned his contract unsigned to the St. Louis Browns and appended a statement saying he could earn more money pumping up tires on the highways around his home town. Bill Friel, Brcwnie business manager, answered the rookie, wished him a happy New Year and advised him to invest in more roofing nails. tt tt a MANY Tribe fans will remember when Friel had a game forfeited on him at Washington park. He was St. Paul manager and carried the customary two catchers. One backstop got injured and Bill permitted him to visit his Indiana home. During the contest the working receiver engaged in a brawl with the umpire and was banished. The Saints were helpless. Friel, a former infielder, was on the point of donning the backstop tools himself, but hastily changed his mind. “I haven’t got enough insurance,” he explained. a e a Nineteen errors against Hack Wilson and seventeen against Chuck Klein don’t mean anything when
