*n F ' AR The war is over! You're back on the job and i suppose the north side of Indianapolis is ringing with cheers. Oh. vvell, I guess I'm just not appreciated. “The Shortridge Lil,” “Eleanor of Tech, and all the other boys and Sirls will be writing you to tell you a terrible chump I turned out to be, Well, I picked a winner. “It’s your turn now. Finis la guerre! Your pal, NORMAN E. ISAACS. a a tt Mi. Isaacs tells me that he was iorced into a few free-for-alls, civil wars and just plain battles, but that be came through unscathed—a “nappy warrior” to the finish. He did a swell job of pinch-hitting, bowing that he hadn’t lost any of bis old form. So here goes, three beers for Isaacs.

Os course, ' here are some who will contend * bat we let that city tournament scare us out, but ’tain't so. If we let a little thing like a city tournament frighten us, where would we be on Feb, 16. That is the fateful date on waich Backboard step:; out before Mr. and Mrs. Gus H. Fan and all others who may be interested, and defiies them to deny that So-and-So will not win the state tournament. Any old day you think that job doesn’t require some high-geared nerves, write your ow r n ticket and we’ll pay the fair tt a Aa Will Rogers says, all we know about ♦fee past two weeks in basketball-land is “r r-*d in the papers.

Somebody evidently cot Cathedral's "Irish.” up, "cause Shortrdicc and Beech Grove on the same week-end is some KilUnjr for anybody.

We didn’t read anything about Frankfort or Washington doing any nose dives, however. But there’s Kokomo. Logansr'STt. Vlnrennes. Bedford. Newcastle. Anderson and others creeping up on the leaders. To say nothing ot Horaoa Muncie flopped to Marffm. and that’s one for Scotland Yytl. • aofc are a few thinrs we’ll have to iron out before Feb. 16. And about that time, we hope to announce that we're nicking . * tt tt If anything goes wrong with our selection. well have an airtight alibi. Didn't we miss two weeks and didn't this and that or such and such happen during that time? We've got ’em now. e tt tt Just when we thought interest of the topical lioosier intensity was dying, up spring two basketball riots in one night. Bloomington and Bedford students staged a series of free-for-alls over the disputed possession of a cow-bell following* a basketball game last Friday at Stone City. On the same night, Royster. Central of Evansville center, took a very noticeable dislike to Big Dave DeJernet at Washington, and the fourth time he poked at the dusky star, was escorted off the hardwood by referee Bair after refusing to obey the referee’s command to leave unescorted. Then followed a miniature riot which delayed the contest several minutes. Five riots in little more than half a season—there's still hope. tt B B IP you saw the big parade marching on the statehouse this afternoon. don’t get excited—it wasn’t a Communistic demonstration nor a necktie party. Just Jeffersonville basketball fans coming up to seek an audience with the committee studying the Friedley bill. a u a Os course, old Backboard had to be on the sidelines when they took the “air” out of hair, turning things Into one “L” of a •haoe. Just the same, we've very little sympathy for the way Jeffersonville newspapers and some fans have taken their medicine. And that's that. tt a tt Jeff Isn't the first school to suffer such a it te. and probably will not be the last. And the evidence, as presented to the I. H. S. A. A., is convincing enough. The •.rise thing for the southerners to do would lie to start all over again—Frankfort once won a state championship two months r.ftcr being re-instated following a long suspension. And we’ve a hunch there are a lot of Jeffersonville fans who feel the same wav. tt a tt In time, the heated attitude of some Jeffersonville citizens will die a natural, even if hard, death. Just one year ago. Muncie was up in arms. A star had been declared ineligible. Right away, a senator framed a bill to change the control of prep athletics from the I. H. S. A. A. to ’he state, and received the support and encouragement of enraged Muncie fans. Now even the Muncie school officials are not favorable to the measure, if we are to take our Magic City correspondent seriously. In an Interview with our Muncie scribe. City School Superintendent Frank Allen is reported to have said: “If Senator Friedley’s bill was put Into effect today. there still would be thousands of persons in Indiana who want state tournament tickets and can't get them." tt tt a ONE year ago, a mighty band of basket snipers (maybe not so mighty, but that sounds good, anyhow), swept out of South Bend and mopped up in Bloomington. But man and boy, what a time they had doing it! With thirty .seconds to play, Indiana being in front, stalled. Oonie Donovan, Notre Dame’s great guard, rushed in, grabbed the old spheroid i basketball to the little boy with the green tie) and slammed it through the draperies from way out there, just two breaths and one sigh before the gun, giving George Keogan's Irishers a one-point verdict. Tonight, they meet again on the same battlefield, and Everett Dean's Hoosiers hope to prove that the I. U. five is the team of the state, by the state and for the state. tt o a \ couple of touch outfits some of the hovs are overlooking arc Crawfocdsvhie and Danville.

Cruising in Sportland WITH EDDIE ASH

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION clubs will be scattered in five states this spring when they pitch their camps to tune tip for the 1931 championship race. Indianapolis, Toledo and Columbus will work out in Florida, Toledo and Columbus will work out in Florida, Kansas City in Louisiana, Louisville in Alabama, St. Paul in Texas and Minneapolis and Milwaukee in Arkansas. Training camps are as follows: Indianapolis, Sarasota; Toledo, Miami: Columbus, Lakeland; Kansas City, Lake Charles; Louisville, Mobile; St. Paul, Mineral Wells; Minneapolis and Milwaukee, both in Hot Springs. There will be nine major league clubs in Florida. Brooklyn will split up its training among three spots— Clearwater, Fla.; Havana, Cuba, and Macon, Ga. Buffalo and Newark of the International League also will camp in Florida, giving that state a total of fourteen league teams.

tt tt tt SAM BREADON, president of the St. Louis Cardinals, and Branch Rickey, vice-president, have advised Manager Gabby Street there will be no front office interference with his methods of handling the team and that he will be left alone and unhampered when the time comes to choose between Jim Bottomley and Jimmy Collins for the first base berth. Collins is the slugging rookie from Rochester. b a. tt Bottomley hastens to turn in a winter report on himself and declares the routine of outdoor exercise he mapped out has obtained results. The season of 1930 has been erased from his mind, he asserts, and aims to step out this spring and perform in the manner of the Bottomley of old. In the meantime the Cubs are hopeful of landing Bottomley if Collins beats him out on the Cardinal infield. Sunny Jim was purchased from Syracuse for $30,000 in 1922 and despite his flop last year, especially in the world’s series, the Cubs are ready to lay a fortune on the line for his services. o tt * The address of Kid Chissell, local boxer, is Cinderella ballroom, Miami, Fla. He found the fistic racket slow down there and took up marathon dancing, lasting 150 hours. The Kid said his partner fell asleep after 101 hours and he went solo for forty-nine hours. That didn’t eliminate Chissell altogether, for he caught on as trainer for the other dancers. The Kid says if he can find a durable partner he will enter a dance marathon in Havana. n tt t* CHARLIE SCHMIDT, the old Detroit catcher, has reached the half-century mark, but refuses to discard the spirit of youth. He is trying to break into the Western Association as playing manager. Schmidt is now a coal miner in Coal Hill, Ark. Maybe it’s the mild winter that’s making the veterans feel loaded with pepper. b n Nashville has traded outfielder Frank Luce to New Orleans for catcher Don Anderson, who will act as assistant manager . under Joe Klugman, recently appointed pilot of the Vols. a IT Is said eight Washington players are unsigned and the holdouts include a great battery, Fred Marberry and Roy Spencer. Club officials and the catcher are not far apart over wages, but it is reported Marberry is prepared to give a lot of trouble. Owner Griffith is trying to sign him on a bonus basis, guaranteeing a stipulated sum with a promise to pay SSOO for each victory ever fifteen and SI,OOO for each victory over twenty. Marberry is demanding more “stipulated sum.” a st Griffith says it was six weeks on the season last year before Marberry rounded into condition and that he wasn’t at his best until the closing weeks. With Fred in shape at the start this year, it is believed Manager Walter Johnson will stand an excellent chance to battle the champion Athletics from the outset. tt a tt BUCKY HARRIS’ Detroit Tigers will be the first squad to hop off this year headed for training. The Tiger pastimers are due to start for Sacramento, Cal., on Feb. 15, and the Chicago Cubs will board the rattler on Feb. 17 and start for Catalina Island, Cal. Pittsburgh is the other club to hit the long route to the west coast. Detroit worked out in Florida last year. Cleveland and Brooklyn may join the California visitors in 1932. a a Meryl Hoag, the Sacramento outfielder with the tiny Chinese feet, has come to terms with the New York Yankees.. He was purchased last summer for spring delivery. The terms of his contract are rather unusual for a green rookie. He was offered only 53.000 at first, but won the decision after protesting and received $4,030 with a bonus clause of $1,090 if he is retained. a a a The share and share alike plan of finances in the International League has been dropped, and hereafter the clubs which draw the most customers will carry the bulk of the expense burden.

B:j Times Special LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 3.—lnability to solve Nebraska's brilliant defense proved costly to Tony Hinkle’s Butler college five of Indianapolis, and the Bulldogs’ victory string was snapped at eleven when the Huskers handed them their first defeat of the season here Monday, 32 to 14. Butler’s defense was hampered by the loss of Lyle Withrow, sharpshooting forward, who suffered an ankle injury in the Concordia game at St. Louis on Saturday night and may be out the remainder of the season.

Who Says Max Isn’t a ‘Fighting Champion’?

By United Press NEW YORK, Feb. 3.—Max Schmeling, heavyweight boxing champion of the world, either beat up a process server so badly the latter required medical attention, or he merely led an unknown

Cerebral concussion, a fracture of the nasal bone, contusions, torn ligaments, sprains and bruises, not to mention injured feelings, were among the injuries reported at his home.

Sweeping Changes Made in Conduct of Penn Athletics

By United Press PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 3.—Sweeping changes have been decreed in the conduct of athletics at the University of Pennsylvania, it was revealed today in a lengthy report by Thomas Sovereign Gates, president of the university. Dr. Gates anuounced the creation of a department of physical education, headed by a dean, who will have full administrative charge of the three subdivisions of the department. These divisions deal with student health, physical education and intercollegiate sports. Each will be headed by a director. Dr. E. Leroy Mercer, now athletic director at Swarthmore college, has been appointed dean of the department of physical education, effective July 1. He graduated from Penn in 1913. He was a member of the varsity football team at Penn in 1910-11-12 and captained the team the latter two years. Dr. Mercer was selected for the all-America team in 1910 and 1911. Under the new scheme, spring and

“We don’t know if the fellow was a process server. Max was standing with three other fellows when up comes a tough looking guy wearing a cap and with a paper in his hand. “The fellow was making for Schmeling. Machon (one of the other fellows) stopped him and asked him what he wanted. He didn't say nothing. He didn’t say he was a process server. He made a lunge at Machon. “Schmeling grabbed him by the collar, led him down the steps to Forty-second street and turned him over to the doormen, just like a policeman would. “We ain’t afraid of processes. We got lawyers to worry about that. But Maxie can’t be holding out a hand to everybody. Some guy might stick a pen knife in his hand.” That’s the Jacobs-Schmeling version of the affair. And they’re going to stick to their story.
