Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.—'They tell me that James Willard Mc•lUlen Is to be the next world heavyweight wrestling champion—that ia. In New York, Pennsylvania and most of the other states, where Christopher Theopolls, otherwise Jim Londos, Is now recognized. mua Aj lone as the thinr i btinr • round, the manipulator* hardly would be making a mistake In faateninr the crown on the noble cranium of the former l‘nlyeraltv of Illinois football captain. McMlllen nulled and turged with Glno Garibaldi, the Ignited Italian, at the Seventyflrat Reel merit Armory Mondav and is to massage the ears of Londos at the Garden two weeks hence. mm* Jack. Curley and the other promoters of the country can thank Bob Zuppke. the football coach, for one of the.r best attractions. In his own words. McMlUen was a ham lineman when he first reported to the mini varsity in 1921. man Zuppke worked on the huge boy from Gray's Lake. 111., for several weeks, and then turned him oyer to Paul Prehn. the wrestling Instructor. “You will acquire balance and timing in wrestling,'' Zuupkc told him n u a PREHN, who was the A. E. F. middleweight champion, found an apt pupil in McMillen, and returned him to Zuppke a mighty fine guard as well as an accomplished intercollegiate wrestler. a it u While Mi Mlllen took up the hammer and lock soort to aid his football, and on graduation turned to the latter game as a profession, wrestling quickly outgrew toutball as far a* he was concerned. "I wfrestled during the off-season to keep In Condition for football, hut was booked so steadily after five years that I no longer had time for the game I thought I knew best,” he explains. mum “And It did not Day me to allow myself to be banged around on a football field ■when I could wrestle four or five times a week with less effort than I put In one game of football.’’ it m it M’MILLEN points with pardonable pride to the fact that interest in the sport of antiquity has been revived with the infusion of collegiate blood. Other former football players in wrestling include Ed Don George, Michigan; Gus Sonnenberg, Dartmouth and Detroit; Jim Clinkstock and Tiny Roebuck, of the Haskell Indians; Earl McCready, Billy Middlekauf, Paul Harper. Herb Freeman and Billy Bartush. tt tt tt He asserts George, who recently defeated Sonnenberg in I,os Angeles, for the ehampionshlp of the rival trust, probably never will be given an opportunity to establish a clear claim to the throne. Certainly he first will have to desert his present associates. a m u He declares the grapplers were willing | to stand for the old regime as long as a j first rate inatman ruled, but tha; the | coronation of Sonnenberg brought about a revolt. “Sonnenberg didn't belong there. 1 He had no background. He didn't even ; wrestle In school,” is his explanation. tt tt tt McMUlen has his own reason for being peeved at Sonnenberg. too. "He Is credited with originating the flying tackle in wrestling, but It was I who introduced It,” he goes on to say. Each grappler must have a specialty these days, and McMillen can not get over the fact that Sonnenberg was first to publicize the freak attaok which lifted both out of the ordinary.

MUNCIE walloped Vincennes with Jack Mann on the bench. Mickey Davidson, all-state forward, who has played floor guard and back guard, worked at the pivot position and turned in his best performance of the season, so they say. Traster, recently “out with an injured ankle,” and Icerman, with an alleged fractured wrist, were in thenregular places. It appears fcliat Mr. Pete Jolly has an excess of good ball players and must find places to use them all/ u a a Shelbyville ts mad. The Macktnen lost a one-point decision to Franklin and Shelby fans claim they were robbed. Four field goals were ruled out by the officials. Shelby lost its own ball game, however, by railing one too many time-outs, and Burrows of Franklin dropped in the free throw —his only point of the evening. Franklin deserves a few breaks. Fuzrv Vandivler’s cavorters previously had lost four one-point decisions. Shelby's complaint will find 'ittle support after Franklin’s victories over Connersville and Columbus. tt tt tt “Local Five Konked by Blue Devils” —Bedford Mail head line. That sounds like a dirty crack. a p tt We've heard alibis galore, but here’s one for the books. Bloomfield has lost a few games, and admits it. but there’s a reason. Bloomfield's best player in ineligible. He stutters, and it seems that his coach failed to arrange his class schedule for him. He took public speaking—and flunked. tt tt tt Frank Good of Martinsville saw Shortridge nose out, Bedford. “It v, ill take a mighty good team to beat them” writes Frank after the game. Good old conservative Frank —he hasn’t made a mistake since they discovered Artesian water was good for something besides disguising as veteran eggs. tt a tt And speaking of this smell water they have in Glenn Curtis’ town, the Ohio River seems to be dangerous contender for health honors. Art Jerrell, who measures six feet four inches up and down, will join Jeffersonville next semester—yes, that's where they have the six foot ten center. Jerrell plays forward. What chance would a mere tittle six-footer have in this town? tt tt tt WHEN speaking of the better class of guards, mention Mr. Meade of Logansport.

BY EVERETT S. DEAN Basketball Coach. Indiana University THIS play is an example of the blocking system which has been used extensively in the Big Ten conference. When the coach chooses to use this style of game he should have large men, well built and heavy, because the body contact in this style of play calls for stamina and endurance. Wisconsin, Illinois and lowa universities have been the stronges' advocates of this type of play. The accompanying chart shows a very strong formation for the block, but it can be used with or without the block. The floor guard advances the ball, passing to (F2> who fakes a pass back to the floor guard but turns and passes to <FI). The forward (FI) hands the ball back to (F2) in a close block to keep off (F2)’s guard. (F2) passes to (C) coming f-om the corner. The center may return the pass in a block cr, better still, fake the block and dribble in or pass to the open men near the basket. The backguard trails the play and is in c. good position for back passes. Next—Basketball scouting.
