UNBEATEN .WILDCAT FIVE HOPES TO KEEP RECORD CLEAR

lHe ® ac kk° ar< il M V By VERN BOXELL

OFFICE OF OFF THE BACKBOARD Vem (Fears Newcastle) Boxell, Pres. Mr. Raymond F. Jolly, Central High School, Muncie, Ind. Dear friend Pete: thisTl 1 ;_ Pe _ T ex P ecfc you’re wondering why I’m bothering you with detain v'“ 1 1 get that out of the way before going into the trivial cra~v SGe ’ T s very year it' s m y duty to travel all over this basket- - irom December to the middle of February, looking over who’s

who and what’s what. After that, it’s easy —all I have to do Is select my one and only and stick with them. Off hand, this sounds easy. And it is, if you happen to light on the right wagon. If you don’t—that’s your fault and you suffer. Yes, I’ve feund that out. This year, the task has been harder than ever. It seems that you coaches have gotten together and plotted against us unfortunates who are forced to dish out this dally ballyhoo. Just when you pick out somebody as the cheerful little earful, along comes some fellow conspirator and gives you an ear ache. After spending a lot of the com-

Boxell

pany z money, I’ve decided that you and your Bearcats are the ones I care tor, you’re the one’s and therefore I hope you’ll take care of me. IN OTHER WORDS, I’M PICKING YOU TO WIN THAT (THEY SAY IT’S SILVER, BUT YOU NEVER CAN TELL DURING THE DE-

PRESSION) SHIELD. There are several reasons why I’ve chosen to bestow this great honor (?) on you and your Bearcats, Pete. Os course, you’re the biggest, if i were a high school basketball player on your team, I’d do the same thing that all of your boys have done. I’d fight my heart out for you. Doggone it, Pete, you’re a swell fellow and you get everything out of those boys that you need. Os course, I m not saying there aren’t some others who can do the sajne thing, but you’ve got an edge on them, because you've got some boys who have plenty to give, and some of the other coaches are hampered by the opposite. They get all there is, but there isn’t very much. Some Record! There are some fans who may not realize what a remarkable record you’ve turned in at the helm of the Bearcats. For instance, in looking over the matter at hand, I find that you’ve been at Central H. S. for three years. During those three years, you haven’t missed participating in a state tournament, have you? And that isn’t all—you’ve had a state champion, a runner-up and a second-round club. Thatls some record, Pete, and you have just reasons to be proud. But that’s not all, either —didn’t you knock off my j Frankfort boys last* spring and! haven't you got the same outfit with the exception of one man? Furthermore (and this is my honest opinion), I think you’ve the best five-man club in the state—or should I say six men? Going right down the list, there’s that Mickey Davidson boy. I see you’re playing him at back guard, and that’s all right. Standing right out there at that side spot and arching them up through the nets, I’ll take him for a. quarter against about any prep star in this state. He’s cool and steady, and as a back guard he’s as good as he was at forward last year —and he was a unanimous all-state man. Then there’s Icerman, who has caused you to cease worrying about the floor guard job. He’s clever and when he’s going, he’ll mean lots of points for our (I’m going in partners with you now, you probably have noticed.) Get Started, Jack I hope Jack Mann gets all steamed up at tournament time again this year, and I think you’ll take care of that all right, Pete. He’s a great basketball player when he wants to be, and we’re assured of the tipoff. This new man, Schuck, playing forward for us, is another who should come through In a pinch. He’s young and slightly erratic, but you’ve had that kind before, and by tournament time everybody will think he’s an old hand. At the other post there's Traster or Cook, one big and one little, and it doesn’t seem to make much difference which is which. Personally, I’ll take Traste;, but i’ll leave that to you. Another six-footer wouldn’t hurt us, do you think? Just between the two of us, Pete, I'm slightly worried about this Newcastle outfit. You know as well as I do they are tough now, and will be just as tough at regional time, I'm figuring you'll be tougher. We’ve got a lot of stiff opposition to overcome this year. There's Everett Case and his Frankfort Hot Hogs, tough as usual. And don’t forget Shelbyville and Washington, either, Pete, to say nothing of Logansport, Kokomo, Greencastle and lots of others. Come to think of it, you might give a couple of thoughts to some boys down here in my home town— Shortridge and Tech. I haven’t figured out just who'll be it, but they’re both tough, eh Shelbyville and Vincennes? I hope we come through, Pete. If we don’t I’m going to take a scholarship for prospective missionaries to Patagonia. Your Friend. VERN BOXELL.

FIELDER JONES, as manager of the White Sox, was responsible for the rule that when a pitcher is substituted he has to pitch until the batsman either is retired or reaches first base. In an important game at Chicago in 1906, when the Sox were winning the pennant, Jones sent his star pitcher, Ed Walsh, to the clubhouse in the eighth inning, telling him he was to pitch the following day. It then seemed Chicago had the game in hand. But the

Purdue, After Second Win Over Indiana, Faces Two Big Ten Foes

BY DICK MILLER As the Indiana intercollegiate cagers crash into another week of heavy action tonight, Central Normal of Danville, the only undefeated Hoosier team, tackles the first of two foes for the week. Opening up at Vincennes tonight the Purple, who hung up their fifteenth and sixteenth wins last week at the expense of Manchester and Hanover, should win without any particular effort. Tuesday night’s assignment is a bit different, simply because Oakland City has been going places the last few games. Coach Pinnick’s team hung up their seventh straight win last week at the expense of Vincennes and with two eagle-eyed basket snipers in Smith and Loge, the Oaks could catch Danville off stride or overconfident and smash that run of victories before it reached eighteen. Purdue left Sunday for the farnorth, where they tackle Minnesota, riding in second place in the Big Ten race. Coach Ward Lambert w T as back on the bench Saturday night when the Boilermakers mopped up with Indiana and was with the team on the jaunt. Purdue has an even chance to hand the Gophers a lacing tonight. De Pauw hopes to avenge a onepoint defeat by Miami at Oxford recently when they meet in Greencastle Tuesday. Wabash and Earlham clash in Richmond at the same time. Franklin and Wabash clash at Crawfordsville Thursday. All of them could be anybody’s victories. Rivalry crops out in the EarlhamFranklin game at Franklin Friday night. The Butler-Notre Dame clash at South Bend Saturday night tops the card as the two teams are bitter hardwood rivals. Butler hung up wins number thirteen and fourteen last week, taking Franklin and Louisville. Their only defeat was at the hands of Nebraska. Indiana invades Ann Arbor for a game with Michigan Saturday, their first meeting of the year, while Doc Meanwell and his Wisconsin team comes to Lafayette for a clash with Purdue, climaxing a week of nineteen contests, most of them very important to the teams involved. Flashing a bit of early game form, Indiana got away to a lead 6 to a at Purdue Saturday. Twelve minutes had passed, Wooden had committed three personals, Indiana led 10 to 4 and Purdue had failed to connect from the field, when Coach Lambert withdrew Porter and sent in Eddy. The young gentleman took the first tipoff for a field bucket, dribbled in under for another and Kellar with one of his side floor push in shots tied it up at 10-all. From then on it was a rout. Purdue leading 13 to 11 at the half and increasing that lead right from the begining of the secondond half, Indiana seemed demoralized at times, Purdue scoring at will.

They missed a multitude of set up shots and wilted miserably after a rousing getaway.

Everybody starred for Butler. Ginger Reeves went on a scoring spree at Danville, contributing fifteen points to Danville's 37-to-22 win over Hanover. Wallin with

shortstop Levey, were brought in from Wichita Falls, where they had a sensational season and Grimes was recalled from Milwaukee. First baseman Blue, second baseman Mellilo, shortstop Kress, and third baseman O’Rourke are the holdovers although it has been rumored that figure in a trade. Burns andlStorti will add batting power while Levey is such a capable shortfielder that Kress may be moved to third base. Mellilo, however, is expected to continue as a regular. Long distance hitting strength was given the Browns whn they asquired Leon (Goose) Goslin from Washington. Bettencourt, who led the Texas League in driving in runs, and Jenkins, who has a splendid batting record in the American Association also are expected to add more power at the bat.
