By Eddie AsL Curtain Falls on City H. S. Grid Season an* Proposed League Plan Worth Real Test

The high school football season in Indianapolis closed today with the Cathedral-Southport charity game at Butler bowl. On Friday the city public prep elevens concluded action for another year. All in all it has been a glorious season for the youthful warriors. More attention was paid thH lads this fall and most of the contests were hard fought and exciting. The growing strength of Southport has given the city teams one more close rival and in 1934 the grid fans will see a galaxy of games played on the home fields. The league plan proposed by athletic officials of the schools is to be commended. It will permit the frequent publication of a regular standing on the order of the Big Ten college conference and this angleds sure to increase interest in the many tilts. a a a a a a books closed at noon today on Perfect Picker Pete football selections for this week and the usual stack of coupons was stored away until Monday, when the office slaves will begin the work of checking the scores to determine the names of the I Told You So boys. Names of the high pickers will be published Tuesday. It will take all of Monday afternoon to compare the fans’ scores with the actual results of today’s important collegiate battles. The game of Nov. 11 that created chief Hoosier interest was Purdue at Notre Dame and out of hundreds of selections received from Times readers only one cracked the actual score on the button. Bernard Rose, 5260 Broadway, Indianapolis, won the honor of perfection on that game, his forecast being 19 to 0, Purdue, the official result. Florentine Steinkair.p, 2844 Allen avenue, was only one point off with 20 to 0. There were other close predictions on the Boilermaker-Irish tilt, but the majority of fans picking Purdue forecast a two-touchdown decision. Rose had nine winners, five misses and two ties last week; Steinkamp, ten winners, four misses and two ties. a a a a a a WHEN Jim Londos, one of the wrestling champions, visited Greece, his home land, recently, he was requested by President Zaimes to put on a show for his admirers. An exhibition match was arranged and Londos readily went through with the event. The match was staged in the Olympic stadium at Athens and the crowd estimated was 110,090. Londos exhibited a number of Yankee mat holds that were strange to the Greek sport fans, although wrestling game is supposed to have originated in Greece. Jim returned to America early this week and will swing back into regular action in Chicago in a bout with Jim McMillen. a a a a a a THE Michigan-Minnesota grid feature at Ann Arbor will be broadcast over both radio networks, N. B. C. and C. B. S. It will be on WFBM, Indianapolis, starting about 12:45. WBAA, the Purdue station, will describe the Purdue-lowa tussle over the air.

Ice Hockey Leads Sports in Drawing Throngs to Garden

BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Snerial Snorts Writer

NEW YORK. Nov. 17.—Some 85.000 people visited Madison Square Garden to see the horse show, which closed the other night, j There were about 16,000 people j there to see the hockey season open j last night. It will be a pleasant | surprise to one and all if there are j 6,000 there tonight to see the boxing bouts. Which may give you a slight 1 idea. The Garden was built primarily for boxing. Nobody ever thought of | hockey when the boys down in Wall j Street agreed to go in with Tex | Rickard on the mid-town sports | project. Indeed, it was a tough j job selling the game to the Garden crowd, particularly Rickard. He didn't know what it was. but the prosperity it enjoyed eilsewhere interested him. Rickard began to make inquiries about this game of hockey. He asked one of his friends what kind of a game it was. His freind told him it wouldn't go so swell in the big town. “I know. I have seen it. They play it on horses.” Possibly his friend was thinking of lawn tennis. Anyway. Rickard finally decided; to do business with the ice hockey; salesmen. It was his nature to take a flyer on anything, and if it hap- | prned to be something with which he. was completely unfamiliar he j would take the flyer all the quicker, j Ice hockey turned out to be one of j the few good guesses he ever made. For years it has been the most consistent money maker on the Garden program. tt tt tt THE Rangers and the Detroits opened the local season last night. Tire Rangers represent the Garden. Last season they won the Stanley cup. That's tops in hockey the equivalent of the world series championship in baseball. After losing two games on the road the Rangers scored their first victory' of the season last night. 2-1. It was the sort of game the hockey addict drinks down without a chaser. It was packed with fierce, vigorous action. The men spent most of the evening picking themselves up off the ice. The idea m hockev seems to be. hit ’em hard and often. A foul in hockey presumably consists of premeditated murder. The press box goalies said the body checking in the game was very effective. If you are not a hockey addict you m3v not know what body checking is. Briefly, it is a mere routine detail of the play. Two large gents come together head-on at great speed. The one that bounces back the farthest loses. Frequently he loses as many as eleven teeth and two eyebrows. All of this seems to engender great excitement in the souls of the hockey addicts. Whenever one of the men is rammed through the wooden fence that circles the ice j the hockey addicts lay back their tonsils and shriek in nine keys. No sadist ever went away from a smashing hockey game with underfed emotions. u a a THEY even tossed in a free-for-all fight last night that yanked everybody in the arena cut of their seats. Maybe this was because there are so few fights of any kind to be seen at the Garden these days. Personally, it didn't excite me much. I had my suspicions. One of the combatants. Jean Pusie. anew Ranger, is a professional wrestler. And you know what a professional wrestler will do for a gag. Monsieur Pusie's action were all too reminiscent of the stenciled wrestling formula. He wasn't satis- ; fled with the progress he was making with his fists, so he paused in the midst of the battle, jerked his gloves off. grabbed a hockey bat and moved in on the squirming mass of blue shirts and red shirts swinging. At that is was a better climax than the conventional airplane spin with j which the wrestlers usually bring down the curtain.

Even so, hockey is a grand game to watch and it is easy to understand why it has attracted the most consistent and enthusiastic clientele the Garden knows. You have to beall man to play it. Watching the game last night, Red Grange, the pro football star, remarked: “I’m glad I picked out a soft racket.”

Meyers Wins Over Williams in Feature Go on Mat Card

Slamming Scotty Williams thrice' to the canvas with crotch holds, until the Cincinnati boy obliged with the pancake act. Ray Meyers picked up another victory in the main go at Tomlinson hall last night. A timely sidestep by Meyers was responsible for Williams' defeat. All through their bout it had been Williams who dodged so cleverly that Meyers half the time was grappling with the referee. Then." as Williams lunged across the ring at Meyers in a flying tackle, Meyers deftly skipped to a corner.

ler’s boys called for one of their favorite scoring plays, a pass Bohne Woerner, and it clicked for six points. Woerner scored the seventh on an end around play. Tech threatened throughout the second half, but splendid • defensive work by Westfall, a half back who was converted into an end last week, and Gatto and Faris stopped them. Poor punting cost Shortridge in the third period and set Tech up for a scoring chance. The big Green forwards broke through and blocked a kick and finally recovered it on the Blue 1-yard line, from where Snyder battered over. Taking the chief ball carrying as- j signments in a fifty yard first quarter march down field Harry Cherry, Washington’s star full back, pushed over a winning touchdown, and Bob McDonald plunged for the seventh point at the Manual gridiron. Washington threatened once more, and late in the game Manual blocked a kick and headed for goal but was stopped.

only half-conscious he was easy meat for Meyers. Williams couldn't make the bell for the second fall. Meyers won the only fall in thirtyeight minutes. In the semi-windup Billy Love of Lexington, spent forty-five minutes trying to chase Roy Welch inside the ropes, but there was no fall. Referee Bud Westfield raised Love’s hand at the end of the bout, but Welch stuck his own paw in the air and claimed half the match. Speedy O'Neal tossed Sailor Murphr with an airplane spin in eighteen minutes, and Charley Harbo downed Jack Adams, Kokomo, in twelve minutes with a body scissors.

Honor City H. S. Stars Standout Players on Prep Elevens Selected on Times Team. BY DICK MILLER Indianapolis high school football enjoyed one of its most successful seasons this fall since the sport was revived locally thirteen years ago. Washington. Tech and Shortridge finished in a deadlock for the title and each had outstanding stars who frequently made victories possible by their individual performances. In presenting The Timfs all-city 1933 selections the first team is made up of: Ends, Steckley of Cathedral and Woerner of Tech; tackles. Brown, Tech, and Faris, Shortridge; guards. Gatto, Shortridge. and Luzar. Washington; center. Greeley, Washington; quarter back, Constantino, Manual; half backs, Bohne, Tech, and McMahon, Cathedral; full back. Cherry, Washington. It is the writer's opinion that only in few spots was strong comparison needed to decide between players. Steckley and Woerner were given a slight edge over Rohyans and Mears at ends. McMahon and Bohne, because of their consistency all season, were given a shade over MacLueas of Shortridge. Harry Cherry, the Washington ace, was only able to win the full back job over Danner of Tech because he wound up the season in glory, playing great games against Tech and Manual. Otherwise, the selections speak for themselves. Girl Swimmer Lowers Record Hplen Lee Smith, I. A. C. swimmer, lowered the Indiana-Kentucky A. A. U. record for the 100-yard backstroke, when she swam the distance from scratch in 1:17 in the I. A. C. handicap meet last night. The time lopped two seconds from the previous mark. Bob Wooling won the feature event on the meet, the 100-yard backstroke handicap race, in 1:27. Benham, I. A. C„ was second, and Butcher, unattached, third. Marion Niles, I. A. C„ won the women’s 100-yard handicap backstroke in 1:34.6. Betty Grabers, Antlers, was second, and her teammate, Bettejane Whitcomb, was third. Miss Smith lost, despite her record, because of handicaps.
