W J . T HOI 'I putting out any sales talk the Indianapolis baseball club office staff has been tickled by the eagerness of fans to order seats for the opening game of the 1933 season, April 11. The winter customers have been taken care of and layaway ducats now number around 1,000. The Milwaukee Brewers will help the Indians lift the lid at Perry stadium. Manager Wade Killefor expects to reach the city late week and Kettle down for a long stretch of hard work. Player contracts will be sent out and then the details of spring training at French Lick and Indianapolis will be outlined and a fixed routine arranged. Spring training this year will be more or less of a delicate problem on account of the fact it will be the first time the regulars have trained in the north. The veterans are going to miss the summer heat of Florida and will have to go a little slow at the outset of the tune-up period. For this reason Chief Killcfcr will advise the players to make every effort to be in sound physical condition when they repor.. The benefits derived out of spring exhibition games will be below normal owing to the fact there will be few practice contest:;, none being scheduled at this time. Mild weather in March and April will lighten the task, but if it happens to be cold or rainy the liniment bottle will come in for heavy play. Anyway, the fans realize the depression is on and that the club was compelled to forego the costly Florida trip as a means of saving currency to use in bolstering weak spots in the Tribe lineup. Here are some of tir: boosters who have rushed the season with ticket reservations for opening day; Caravan Club, 100; Kiwanis Club, ICO; American Business Club. 70; W. J Hadley, 50; Jones and Malcy, 25; Indiana Condensed Milk, 25; Balfour Cheese, 10; Advance Paint, 10; Coca Cola Bottling, 10Sevcrin hotel, 10. Walter Riley, secretary, and Dale Miller, assistant secretary, are in charge of the midwinter ticket business. a a a tt tt it VETERANS THRIVE ON HEALTH ‘DON’TS’ r I"'lIE Indianapolis team of the Hoosicr roller polo league is a Wonder live. Ihe average sports follower wonders how the veterans get away with it and i.t is really wonderful from the standpoint of the common dictates of health. According to what the doctor ordered, longevity is based on fresh clear air, outdoor exercise and moderation in exertion. Vs; ;!, these old-timers with the local polo squad can make a life insurance company list of “don't.s” resemble so much chaff. Polo players are dust eaters, play all of their games indoors, scurry o\ ei the lloor in spr:nt-like fashion, run up their blood pressure and run it, down, eat what they want, smoke, “chew” and just go along living. Some ol thcoe pastimers are hitting around 45 in age and are still young when it comes to chasing the ball on skates and swinging a stick. the players perlormed in the old days when polo leagues were the rage and when Jt took plenty of “wind,” courage and hardy physique to survive. Battles were bitter all down the line and now we have many of the same men still doing their stuff and showing red hot action. Don’t they ever weaken? Many of the customers who attend the games at Tomlinson hall are of the same age as the players, but are fat, wind-broken, and barely able to walk up a hill. The dust-eating polo pastimers. like the smoke-eating firemen, take keen delight in giving the horse-laugh to Father Time. tt a tt tt tt tt he was the milk man of aledo POTSY CLARK, Indianapolis, coach of the crack Portsmouth (O.), National Professional League football team, blushed when he learned that the famous Bob Zuppke, Illinois university grid mentor, told friends" in the cast the other day that he, Clark, was the best football player turned out in the history of the Zuppke reign at the Urbana institution. Instead of looking for another Red Grange, therefore, Zuppke evidently is looking for another Potsy, whose position was quarter back. In connection with the history of Clark, former Butler of Indianapolis grid chief, it seems that he first attended William and Vashlie college at Aledo, 111., and was the town milk man. Tito milk route helped pay Potsy’s college expenses, but William and Vashtic had no press agent and he was an unsung milkman. In later years, at Illinois, Red Grange was publicized all over the land when it was learned he worked as an ice man to gather some wherewithal for an education. Clark played at William at Vashtie college in 1912 and the team rolled up 397 points to only 12 for opponents. Potsy was the flash quarter back and his brothers, Jerry and. Stuart, filled the half back posts It was a great season for old W. and V. and the football experts named the team the college champs of the Sucker state. Clark loft William and Vashtie and entered Illinois to reach the heights of football fame. William and Vashtie is not in existence any more.

Shift of Jim Crowley to Fordham Revives Deeds of ‘Four Horsemen*

BY JOE WILLIAMS

V. V World-THi'jjram Sports Editor NEW YORK, Jan. s.—Sleepy Jim Crowley comes to Fordham as the new football coach replacing Major Frank Cavanaugh, who leaves the sport with an extraordinary distinction for a modern coach—he actualy retired. Young Crowley comes here from Michigan State, where he must have done all right. Otherwise he would not have landed the job Crowley belongs to the younger school of football academicians. A

decade ago he was a member of the famous Four Horsemen of Notre Dame, along with Miller. Layden and Stuhldreher, the most colorful backfield combination Knute Rockne ever fashioned. It also may have been the greatest, though Rockne w o u 1 and never say as much. 1 suspect

Williams

the back field lingers in memory more because of its picturesque classification than its overshadowing exploits. It's easier to remember the Four Horsemen than just an ordinary uncatalogued back field. Inspired nomenclators have contributed to the lasting glory of more than one sports hero. Witness: Red Grange, the Galloping Ghost; Bat Nelson, the Durable Dane; Luis Firpo, the Wild Bull of the Pampas; Babe Ruth, the Sultan of Swat; Mickey Walker, the Toy Bulldog; the Waner Brothers. Big Poison and Little Poison: Helen Wills, Little Poker Face; Tris Speaker, the Gray Eagle. You will note that only the noblemen of sports are thus distinguished. The bourgeois remain to the last plain John H. Jones. And so I am quite willing to concede the Four Horsemen had something more •übstantial than a press agent. As

a continuing combination, the Four Horsemen had few equals. They lost but two games out of thirty. Naturally, the line that mopped up in front of them was no insignificant factor. You may remember that line —someone tagged them the Seven Mules by way of maintaining the equine tradition. Adam Walsh, now coaching at Yale, was the center. Once the Four Horsemen started a game behind the second string line. What happened was not exactly flattering to the Four Horsemen. They couldn't gain a yard. The first string linesmen came in, and Walsh said, with mock consolation: “Don't worry, fellows, we’ll see that you get your headlines in the morning papers.”

Blue Faces State Foes Wabash and Notre Dame Are Next on Butler Net Bill. Butler’s traveling basketball troop returned to its base Wednesday to start preparations for a pair of important road invasions next week. Successful attempts against two conference opponents. Drake and Grinnell, put the Bulldogs in their winning stride and Coach Tony Hinkle will spend the rest of the week getting ready for Wabash and Notre Dame, Hoosier rivals. The Bulldogs reopen an old feud at Crawfordsville Monday night opposing the Cavemen, who have been I setting a fast pace this season with recent \ictories over the University of Illinois and Wittenberg, and a close battle with Indiana. Coach Vaughan’s men are determined to avenge the two defeats of last year. Wabash has won only one game against the Hinklemen in the last twelve starts. The second traditional rivalry battle of the week will be played at Notre Dame Saturday, Jan. 14 against the Irish netters who are again strong this year despite recent losses to three members of the Big Ten loop. Experience is aiding the Butler cause and Baird, Demmary and Reissner are a trio of newcomers who are showing steady improvement. Big Cy Proffitt regained his basket eye on the lowa trip and scored thirty-two points in the two games. Hard practices will be on the program the rest of the week. Tigers Bump Ohio Quintet By Timex Special GREENCASTLE, Ind., Jan. 5. De Pauw scored the second successive Hoosier win over the visiting Wittenberg (O.) college quintet here Wednesday night, 32 to 22.

Ten Wrestlers to Mix Friday Craftiness of ten wrestlers of the smaller weight classes will be exhibited here Friday night at the Armory on a program of five events. Jay Gardner is matchmaker. Jack Reynolds, Cincinnati, welterweight champion, and Blacksmith Pedigo. Louisville vet, will collide in the two-falls-out-of-three headline skirmish. Henry Kolln, House of David, will grip with the Japanese jiu-jitsu expert, lota Shima, in the semi-wind-up. Another House of David matman of Benton Harbor is to be seen on the card, David Dooley tangling with Little Wolf, Oklahoma Indian light heavy, in the third fracas. Ed Baker, local light heavy, will oppose Speedy O'Neil, Shelbvville, in the second tiff, while the opener will bring together two local welters, Harold Sims and Young Webb at 8:30.

The thing that made that team unique was its all-around balance. It was literally a machine, delicately adjusted, blending power with finesse. The line made the back field look good by functioning perfectly and the back field made the line look good by capitalizing every opportunity. On top of that, Stuhldreher. quarter back, was a resourceful and daring field general. Somehow I have always thought that of all those men, Sleepy Jim Crowley was Rockne's favorite, possibly not as a player, but as a companion. Crowley was and is a funny bird, a natural wit, quick at repartee and not easily overawed by solemn conventions. Rockne was much like that himself.

His latest feat was a 539 for the Fox team in the Film League. Os course John Barrett rolled 614 for this team, merely to keep Hancock's good work from going to his head. Yes. Fox won three games from Universal. Metro also won three from Columbia as Warner Bros., took the rubber from Fiim Transit. Crane's series of 528 on games of 165. 110 and 193 easily stood out during the roll-off of the Indiana Ladies' League at the Indiana alleys.

A youngster cf whom you may hear quite often during the next three months is Johnny Townsend, left, Tim Campbell's latest hardwood star out at Tech. Johnny is only 16. but he’s one of the best allarcund cage pastimers cavorting in a Hoosier prep uniform. He was too young to use consistently last season, and it was late in the season before he played regularly. But he’s bigger and huskier this year, standing two inches over the six - foot mark, and is a regular mainstay. This modest chap is the keyma nos Tech’s strong five. He bagged twentyone points against Shcrtridge last week, a feat he hopes to repeat against Muneie here Saturday night.

Purdue Is Net Choice Boilermakers Favored to Retain Title: I. U. Defense Weak. BY KENNETH D. FRY Vniied Tress Start Corresp indent CHICAGO, Jan. s.—Western Conference basketball teams have rounded out their preliminary schedules, preparatory to opening the Big Ten title race Saturday night. Although not a single conference cage five escaped defeat during the early program, three teams stand cut in the race, with two as possible threats and the remaining fives apparently with little chance to cut into the honors. Purdue, defending champion, looms as a standout in the race. The Boilermakers halted Notre Dame's winning streak and then were unexpectedly stopped by Pittsburgh. in the east. Northwestern and Ohio State, well equipped with veterans, defeated Notre Dame and share favoritism with Purdue. Purdue and Northwestern will settle their first differences early, meeting at Evanston next Monday. The outcome is expected to figure strongly in the final standing. lowa and Illinois are grouped next. Each lost one game during the early season, the Hawkeyes being the last Big Ten team to fall. The return of Blackmer and Break to the lineup strengthens lowa materially. Illinois in Froschauer has a heavy scorer who likely will decide many games. The remaining teams are in the mystery class. Minnesota and Wisconsin might surprise as they develop. Indiana, Chicago and Michigan did not show much strength early. The Hoosiers have scoring strength but seem to be weak on defense.
