Talking It Over ——BY JOE WILLIAMS

*VT*W YORK, Jan. 30.—1 t seems An that not so many days ago Ed Barrow of the Yankees and Chuck •toneham of the Giants got toother and hatched an arrangement which la supposed to be in restraint of news concerning holdouts. They <J*cided not to Jell which of their players had signed and in that way prevent the wise baseball writers from noting the players who had refused to go through that ancient rite which is called “climbing on fooard the bandwagon." m m m U wtski J* said Uu.'* i*nb % Uu ki*t*ry •! bacabaJ -s i k*Mocl rauiao4 nerd Ciad> 7 * Pkiyov who na< his oontnet hack Mdnoi rosAes down to the lornl Gtte aad tolta the eporta editor ell •beet hi* bravery end hi* peculiar fH. ***••■ ln tmet, Lye Levy end Meryl Hoe* •f the Yankees elreedy here done that Tory thin* nt an the coaot. * m Hirt U 'r^ f r^' h i c , h .L ta<s ?,. up . 40 the fact that S, 0t th ?, olant * *• expected in wme time before Sunday.

The Giant front office regards this as a prohibitive sum for a ball player and if Bill persists, the said front office is almost certain to kick up a fuss. m tt n The point la that If Terry Is e holdsot, he’ll explode the thin* rlcht under the very nosea of the Glant-Yankee combination In restraint of news about holdouts. _ . a tt m c.iifniJ.'iI 6 *„ leu from * scribe out In ♦L-nillv.

That’s why Billy Evans laughed when he read Eddie Morgan’s ultimatum. The boys will have to wait until business gets better—and they’ll sign even then.

“what’s wrong with boxing?” the United Press sought opinions of Jim Jeffries, jack Johnson, Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey.

Will flauck, secretary of the Reformed Church League, puts us on the “pan” for falling to mention Kd Schmidt’s 662 total Monday night. Sorry Will, merely an oversight.

Ed Miller Is Named Head Grid Coach at Annapolis

Bj/ United Press ANNAPOLIS, Md„ Jan. 30.—Edgar E. (Rip) Miller, star tackle on the 1924 championship Notre Dame eleven, has been named to succeed “Navy Bill” Ingram as head football coach at the Naval academy, it was learned here Thursday night. Miller has accepted a contract, but formal announcement of his ap-

tournament arrangements with the club as well as to advise the state membership. For two years in succession the women’s association has been confronted with the fire hazard In carrying out their state meet. Last year about this time the club house at Hammond was destroyed and temporary arrangements had to be made for the women. Last fall Avalon was destroyed the same way, and it was not until the past few days that it was known definitely whether or not the women would be obliged to seek anew tournament spot for this year.

lazy, and criticised the champions for too infrequent defense of titles. Two of them held Prlmo Camera, the large Italian, in no little contempt. Jeffries said the Italian is a “museum piece,” and Johnson termed him “an overgrown clown.” Dempsey, unquestionably the most vivid figure in the last three decades of boxing, sees the need of anew Tex Rickard as a sort of Moses to lead boxing out of the present wilderness. He believes “the boxing game took a wallop from which it never has recovered” when Tex died. Dempsey believes there are too many promoters anti not one pre-eminent sponsor who can keep things in line. Many ring critics will agree with one idea held by Johnson—that “meddlesome boxing commissions have done more harm than good.” He criticised the New York state commission for looking at ;he heavyweight title “as a commercial asset that can be handed over to their friends as a reward.” Willard believes Jack Sharkey to be “the most logical contender” for the heavyweight crown. He Bald that Max Schmeling “won’t get by,” and that Sharkey “had Max on the run” when Jack lost the decision in that fight through a foul. Willard believes Stribbllng is “too light,” and that Gene Tunney, retired undefeated champion, “was a good boxer, but he wasn’t necessarily a good fighter.” *

Off the Backboard BY NORMAN E. ISAACS Pinch-Hitting During Illness of VERN BOXEI.L.

ALL is quiet on the southern Indiana front this morning. The only reason I can find for the sudden halt of hostilities is the watchfulness of the blue-coated guardians of the law who threaten to load up the jails at Jeffersonville and New Albany without fear or favor. 'Twas Thursday evening. Dusk. A New Albany brigade invaded Jeffersonville’s city limits. And Jeff went over the top! Ancient eggs, cabbages—what have you, sister? —went swishing through the streets. New Albany retreated, stocked up with their own city’s aging foodstuffs, and returned to continue the war. The “Law” stepped in. All Is quiet. tt tt tt I’m broken-hearted. It’s &U over the | "Shortridge 1.11.” There I was trying I to take care of Frank, trying to protect ' him from the Jibes of unkind Techltes. But Frank, the “Lii,” has slipped. He’s going to the Shortridgo-Cathedral game tonight with "Fleanir” of Tech. You big 111! tt m 11 Frank, by the way, dropped me a note himself the other clay to tell me Shortridge would beat Cathedral by twenty points, If Bullelt played, and by tei If he didn’t. And if It wasn’t for "Lee" I’d never have known of his turning green. MUM SHELBYVTLLE claimed to be very worried today, Garrell Richey, the Shelbyville floor guard, suffered a wrenched shoulder earlier in the week and probably won’t see action against Greensburg tonight. Garrell will be back in top shape by next week. And. anyway, I’ll take Shelby over Greensburg.

"A Fanner Booster” writes Backboard a little note putting Jeffersonville on the well-known griddle. He says he was puUing for Jeff, but since they’ve raised such a terrific howl about being suspended and even "trying to use undue in* fluenee of the politicians’ he brands Jeff as "quitters.” St st # I think that’s a bit harsh. You know, it's not the team or the school officials, as a rule, that do th© beefing and groaning about decisions and rulings, whether they’re given by the referee or the high commissioner of the sport. It’s the “wolves” In the bleachers who do the moaning and sobbing. The Jeff basketball boys probably are a great bunch. It’s the “wolves” you should be disgusted with. We have a few thousand in Indianapolis, ourselves. CRAWFORDS VXLLE high school basketball team will play one of its biggest games of the season tonight against Jeff of Lafayette at the Wabash college gym. It’s a great rivalry contest between the two schools and you can bet that the Athenians will be “battling their heads off” in that game tonight.
