By Eddie Ash Roller Polo Plans Gala Opening Here mm* City Amateur League Also Is in Making
oNE week from Sunday, Dec. 10, sports fans of Indianapolis who like their Sabbath entertainment, will be supplied with action at Tomlinson hall when the Indianapolis Indians roller polo team lifts the lid on the new season. The visiting team will be the Quakers of Richmond and plans are being made locally to pack the hall to the rafters. It'will be a gala opening, officials state, and the Indians will come out on the floor uniformed in a flashy manner, with striped playing togs and their jerseys carrying a brilliant Indian head. That’s the old color! Anew floor has been laid at Tomlinson hall and veteran poloists say it will speed up the game to a point that will compel all participants to be at the peak of form. Seating arrangements will be improved over last season. President Harry Geisel of the state roller polo league has called a final business meeting of team managers for this Sunday. Richmond, Terre Haute, Ft. Wayne and Indianapolis will comprise the circuit. a a a a a a ALL league roller clubs will be outfitted with new uniforms and playing paraphernalia this season. Bud Taylor, well-known boxing manager and promoter, will back the Terre Haute entry, and his playing floor w ill be the Shrine Temple in the - Hut.” The Concordia college gymnasium will be the ‘ home grounds” of the Ft. Wayne team. Games in Richmond will be staged at the coliseum there o* at Earlham college gym. Indianapolis roller games drew big and enthusiastic crowds last season, and an increase in interest is expected during the new season of the polo revival. Managers of local roller teams who desire to join an amateur league are invited to attend the pro league session at Tomlinson hall Sunday afternoon. It is proposed to limit the amateur loop to four clubs, all teams to play each Sunday afternoon, with a game preceding the pro tilt and one immediately following. Only teams having uniforms and complete playing equipment will be accepted in the amateur league, which, after its organization, wall be self-governing. ts tt tt tt tt tt THE football selection coupon for Times readers made its last 1933 appearance in The Times Wednesday and yesterday. Many fan experts were on the job early and a stack of score slips was received on Turkey day morning. Twelve games were listed in the ‘'field” on the college games to be staged tomorrow. This is the last day to mark the score blank and get it into the mail. Deadline for receiving selections at The Times will be Saturday noon. It looks as though Perfect Picker Pete, and perhaps Perfect Picker Patricia, as well, will be crowned on this final week of games. Mail or bring selection coupons, with scores marked in brackets, to Football Score Editor, The Times, Indianapolis. At noon Saturday the selections will be placed under lock and left until Mondry, when the office accountants will begin the final hunt.

Can Yaie's Psychology Elude Tiger Tackling?
BY HENRY MrLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. I.—Our last football round-up: Yale is counting heavily on psychology to lift the Bulldogs to victory over the undefeated Princeton Tigers, but psychology never saw the day it was as valuable as good interference and tackling. . . . Goal posts cost $11.50 a pair, so please think of that when you start pulling 'em up and making them into kindling wood. . . . One of the major mysteries of the 1933 football season is the inability of Bob Lassiter of Yale to get going. . . . Last year the North Carolinian was unstoppable. . . . Few ball-carriers can make the jump | from a running to a blocking back in one season, but John Ferraro of j Cornell did it. and this year was ! one of the deadliest blockers in the J east. You won't see him mentioned on any All-Americas, but Red Pollock of little Pennsylvania Military college is one of the better backs in

America teams. But it was the Nebraska Cornhuskers who stepped out on Turkey day and made the nation “midwest conscious,” by skinning the Oregon State Beavers and hanging up the pelt to dry. The Big Six champions gave flaming Red Franklin and his northwest farmers an unmerciful lambasting, 22-0. On the Pacific coast, only Oregon was able to down the Beavers, 13-3. They held Southern California to a scoreless tie and came east to beat the Fordham Rams, 9-6. Meanwhile Nebraska had been beaten by Pittsburgh, victim of Minnesota, and Minnesota was tied by Indiana, Purdue, Northwestern and Michigan. Cornell Takes Penn The Cornhusker-Beaver game featured a Thanksgiving slate that saw, several traditional feuds fought out; saw Alabama clinch the Southeastern conference title, and the Rocky mountain conference race go into a three-corriered tie. In the east, Cornell celebrated the fortieth anniversary of grid delations with Pennsylvania by beating the Quakers, 20-12. The Pitt Panthers won a hometown championship by beating Carnegie Tech, 16-0. Colgate smashed Brown, 25-0, and West Virginia shaded Washington and Jefferson, 7 to 2. In the southwest the Oklahoma Aggies blanked Oklahoma, 13-0. In the midwest Kansas downed Missouri, 27-0; St. Louis beat Washington U., 6-0, and Xavier licked the Haskell Indians, 24-13. Gaels Are Beaten Alabama won the first Southeastern conference crown by beating Vanderbilt, 7-0, at Nashville. Tennessee downed Kentucky, 27-0; North Carolina defeated Virginia, 14-0, and Virginia Military and Virginia Poly battled to a scoreless tie. In the big Pacific coast skirmish, Oregon, sharer of the conference title with Stanford downed St. Mary's Gaels, 13-7 and U. C. L. A. scored an unexpected victory over Washington State, 7-0. The Rocky mountain conference race went into a three-way tie when both outstanding contenders lost. Denver bowed to Colorado U., 147, and the Colorado Aggies succumbed to Utah, 13-0. Denver, the Aggies and Utah now are deadlocked. Tulsa scored a 7-0 victory over Arkansas, provisional winner of the Southwest conference title; Texas Tech downed Kansas State, 6-0, and Texas tied Texas A. and M., 10-10.
scores the opponents shot, and as a result they lost the rubber. The boys have been putting Bill Bowen on the pan ever since they stepped in on him while he was rolling in a pot game with some of the girls from the Block Optical Ladies’ League. Os course. Bowen was giving the girls a handicap, but Helen Zimmer actually outscored nim during one of the games. That string of strikes that Eddie Striebeck pounded out during the play of the Indianapolis League Wednesday night probably will end his career as a lead-off man. Ever since the days of the old Capitol No. 1 League, and the famous Silver Flash team, this bowler has been rolling in the lead-off position, until Wednesday night, when he traded places with Arch Heiss, on the Jones-Maley squad. With the arrival of that record score in that position, it is our guess that he will stay ’’put.” Walter English, -better known as ’’Old Lucky.” rolled a couple of practice games at the Pritchett alleys and put the tickets he received from the management in the box. ftes. that’s right, one of the lucky ones to win one of these birds, was Walt English, in fact his ticket was the first number drawn. Wilbur Durbin is a demon on figures and can tell any player in the Washington League what total he rolled his last time out, without consulting the score book. Jess Hall, manager of the Illinois alleys this season, has developed into quite a bowler and produces those small 600 totals every time out. Hall don’t go in for the big totals so much, but the season's average is over the 200 mark. Lefty Behrens, the crack southpaw from the Fountain Square alleys, has one of the fastest-breaking balls in the city and it really tears up the pins. If those two kids would stop arguing and get out and settle things on the allevs, a real match game would be the result. We are referring to Johnny Murphv and Paul Striebeck. For the past two weeks thev have been "telling each other,” but up to date both bovs have been timid about getting on the runways. Lost—One hook ball: Finder please return to Lefty Lee. Have you ever watched that smooth delivery of Tom Vollmer? This bowler has developed rapidly and is giving Johnny Murphy an awful race for top honors in the St. Philip No. 1 League, his average to date being 207. For a bowler who onlv rolls one night a week, we nominate Art Krick, the Rotary League star, for top honors. Hughie Harrigan is one of the veteran stars who is having an awful time trying to knock down those ten pins this year. Bill Moran is another player who declares he is iff a slump. Callahan calls it by a different name, claiming the slump is now in its third year. Armour men’s team allowed the women's Beard Brake Service five a handicap of 200 pins yesterday in a match game at the Illinois allevs and it was a close shave for the men. who finished with 2.600 to 2 593 on actual pins. The one-pin margin had the men bowlers in hot water. However, including their handicaps, the women were the victors by a wide margin. Buring was tops for the women with 573, which included a high single game score of 224. Riley was high for the men with a total of 573 and single game score of 245.
