By Eddie Ash Net Coaches Advised to Speed Up Game ■ * # Slow Deliberate Cage Play Kills Interest

4*

NEW season of basketball is here. Many high schools, a few colleges and the independent and amateur fives didn’t wait for the football campaign to end and cage scores have been appearing on the sports pages for a couple of weeks. However, the hardwood pastime will pick up fast from now on in and interest will mount from week to week. Football was more spectacular this year and the upline in attendance showed a marked lengthening. The grid game was opened up slightly compared with other seasons, and this situation led to a bumper crop of upsets. Give the public an attraction promising plenty of action with the liklihood of a surprise and said public will stampede the box office. It's a tip to the basketball coaches. Try for big scores. Shoot for the hoop. Keep the ball moving around the floor. In short, adopt the fast break and entertain the fans with speed, footwork and passing. There was a slump in interest reported in several former Hoosier "hot spots” last season and many observers attributed the letdown to the slow and deliberate style of play. Amusement seekers of the clirrent generation are keen for the slam-bang vogue in sports contests. MUM U U U ONE of the Pour Horsemen of Notre Dame has become a Kentucky ■ colonel. Coach Don Miller of the St. Xavier high school eleven of Louisville can put on the dog now to Elmer Laytitn, Jimmy Crowley and Harry Stuhldreher, the other three Horsemen of the 1924 Irish team. Colonel Miller, suh, resides in Cleveland. He has the aide de camps on the staff of Governor Ruby LafTon of the Blue Grass state. Boy, mix up a flock of mint juleps and fetch my hoss. a m m a a a COACH FRANCIS SCHMIDT of the Ohio State football team has turned thumbs down on the name of Buckeyes for his gridders. At the recent banquet for his great 1934 machine Schmidt suggested the shortening of the name to Bucks, and his suggestion went over with a bang. In part, he said: "When I was at Tulsa they called us the Golden Hurricanes; when I went to Arkansas it was the Razorbacks; at Texas Christian it was the Horned Frogs, and now I come to Ohio State and And I'm sort of a nut. "I'd like to see half of that Buckeye name retained. A buck is a real fighting sort of a critter. So I'd like it if Ohio State football teams were called Bucks from now on.” Loud applause! a a a a a a WHILE on the subject of nicknames for college football teams, it seems that Indiana university could use one more appropriate than Crimson or Scrappin' Hoosiers. These names seldom meet with much usage in newspapers over the nation. It’s an opportunity for the boys on th# campus at Bloomington to get busy and think up anew and snappy name that will look well in the headlines. It’s worth thinking over, anyway. If Indiana starts off next fall with the same po'ish it finished the 1934 campaign it won’t take long for a name to become lasting. a a a a a a THE other day Max Baer, the fistic champ, was asked his opinion of the best of the heavyweight contenders. He selected Primo Camera, whose crown he lifted. Max replied: “I'd like to fight him over again, but he has to convince the fans that he’s deserving of a return match. I think he and Schmeling are the best of the lot, but I don’j, believe the German would fight him. “Schmeling may be the better fighter, but he’s a straightaway hitter and that type can t nail Camera. The big fellow has no defense against those roundhouse curves, the kind I hit him with.” a a a a a a THE whole baseball world grieves with Ownie Bush. His mother, Mrs. Ellen Bush, passed away today after an illness of several weeks. She was a noble character and he has been a devoted son. When Ownie graduated to the big leagues from the Indianapolis team, his mother accompanied him and often remained with the peppery diamond pastimer throughout the entire season's campaign. He was more than kind to her, and when he was away on trips he never let a day slip by without keeping in touch with his good, old Irish mother by letter or phone. If Ownie won extra money or prizes by his baseball accomplishments. Mrs. Ellen Bush shared. She was first, always. When Ownie managed the Indianapolis team three years the No. 1 rooter in the stands nearly every day w'as Mrs. Bush. She died in peace. She called him Owen and saw him go from the sandlots up through the minor leagues as a player, then to the majors and after his playing days were over, she saw his success continue until he became a world series manager and one of baseball s best-known men. Mrs. Bush made a gallant fight to survive a long siege of pneumonia. but her ad\anced age was against her. The city, and especially the east side, will miss a splendid and popular figure.

Army Favored as Tilt With Navy Arrives Middies Confident of Taking Game Because of Victory Over Notre Dame. ' BY STUART CAMERON United Pros Sporls Editor PHILADELPHIA Dec. I.—A Navy squad which has considered itself one of destiny’s children since the first kickoff last September, tgday reached its chief objective, the Army, / You won’t find a man in blue in this town today—and there are thousands of them—who will admit the slightest doubt over the outcome of the annual football extravaganza between Army and Navy. For today the midshipmen go into football battle not merely to try to compress the score, not merely hoping for a break that would sppll victory, but with the most deep-seated convictions of impending victory. And, for the first time since 1921, when Navy scored its last victory, the regiment of midshipmen is justified ip the assurance. Buzz Borries to Play Navy has a smart, fast, courageous starting eleven and a wealth of reserve talent. The squad includes Fred (Buzz) Borries, named by the United Press as all-America half back, and two great linemen, Cutter and Zabriskie. Standing in the way of a Navy victory is a powerful band of West Pointers led by Jack Buckler, triplethreat half back. Army, like Navy, has had a successful season. The Soldiers lost to a fighting Illinois team in a game played in driving rain, and to Notre Dame which reached its peak on the eve of the West Point battle. The loss to Notre Dame constitutes the chief reason for Navy's belief in victory. The midshipmen trounced the Irish. It should be pointed out, however, that Navy met Notre Dame while the latter was in a formative stage; Army played the Irish when they were at their best. Betting odds favor Army. Here, however, is a vote for Navy, and it is cast with no qualifications, but with the explanation that the game figures to be won in the air and that Navy has a better passing offense and defense. Fans Ignore Rain Threat Ticket speculators were doing a last-minute business at downtown stands. They were asking between $25 and SSO for tickets originally priced at $4.40. The market was brisk despite threats of rain. Householders near Franklin field’s high-flung stadium were anticipating a golden harvest. Balconies were improvised on roof tops and part of the overflow crowd was expected to view the game from these outlying posts, and to pay $2 and $3 for the privilege. Army and Navy athletic officials were besieged with frantic pleas to sell “just one ticket,” despite the fact that the 78.000 seats were oversubscribed by 20,000 a fortnight ago.

Carlin to Grapple in Feature Monday Jess Willard to Handle Hall Mat Bouts. Johnnie (Swede) Carlin, durable light-heavyweight, snapped a long string of wins on the local mat by Clete Kauffman last night, tossing Kauffman in straight falls in the feature wrestling bout at Tomlinson hall. Carlin signed today to meet Curley Donchin of New York in the top scrap of the mat show at the Monday night. The referee for the tussle will be Jess Willard, the former world's heavyweight boxing champion. Russ Schomer of Dayton, who spilled Rodgers in the one fall scrap last night, will tackle Vic Tanski in the semi-final Monday. Matchmaker James McLemore is searching for an opponent for Jack Smith of Chicago, who was disqualified in last night’s bout with Tanski. Smith will appear in the opener Monday. There will be no advance in prices, the matchmaker announced.

Kenneth Peterman, Shortridge coach. THIS year's basketball campaign is going to be a hard one for coach Kenneth Peterman and his Shortridge squad. Only a few veterans were among the squad which reported to the Blue Devil coach. The team dropped its opener to Southport. However, Peterman in other campaigns has developed unpolished squads into state tournament threats, and north side fans are confident he can do it again. The Shortridge mentor, wljo came here from Wiley of Terre Haute, was a Franklin college star under the late Griz Wagner.

Rose Classic May Bring Recognition to N. D. Man i Frank Thomas, Alabama Coach, Is From Notre Dame and Uses Rockne System; Ford Frick in Limelight.

BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Sports Writer NEW YORK, Dec. I.—The selection of Alabama to represent the east in the Rose Bowl tussle seems to me a great thing in many ways. It not only will test two powerful football teams and a boatload of allAmerica timber, but it offers a chance for Frank Thomas to put the clincher on a place among the better coaches of the country. Not that the former Notre Dame quarter back has ever lacked for recognition since taking over the Crimson Tide, but when he stepped into the vacant shoes of Wallace Wade when Wade went to Duke, there were many who shook their heads knowingly and allowed that it would mean the end of those Rose Bowl journeys for the Alabama eleven.

Anybody who was fortunate enough to see one Os those Wade-coached Alabama juggernauts go to town will tell you that filling the shoes of Wallace is about as easy as keeping Huey Long from talking about Huey. Thomas was an assistant coach under Wade and was his logical successor when Duke waved a corpulent billfold and lured Wade away. Since taking over the Tide, Thomas has not allowed the prestige of the team to decrease one whit. In fact, few, if any, observers, were able to notice any difference from where Wade left off except that Thomas installed the vaunted Rockne system. And there are many who will tell you that this year’s Tide could give any of the Wade elevens cards and spades. Harry Mehre, another of Rockne’s pupils, had a lot

Williams

of interesting things to say about the Alabamas when he brought his Georgia boys up to hand Yale the annual licking. (Let’s see, how long has it been now since Yale beat Georgia?).

AMONG other things, Mehre an- • nounced that the Alabamas are three deep. In the language of we football experts, that means that there are three capable performers for every spot on the team. Thomas, always a modest and highly likeable fellow, is proud of his boys and rates Millard Howell, his great half back, on a par with George Gipp, and Thomas ought to know. Os course, a thing like J hat is always open to debate. At any rate, it is granted that Howell is a lot of football player. So is Captain Bill Lee, all-America tackle. And so is Don Hutson, an end that any football coach would give an arm for. It will be something to see when Howell goes against Stanford’s Bobby Grayson and Hutson lines up at end against Moscrip. As everybody knows, Alabama has been to the bowi three times and has never been beaten. And if what a lot of people say about the Dixie menace isVorrect, it does not look like the southerners will start losing on New Year's day. FORD FRICK, president-elect of the National League, will deliver his first message to the baseball world next Wednesday evening, at a dinner to be given to him by the New York chapter, Baseball Writers Association, at Leone’s, on west Forty-eighth street, in New York. Just what Frick is going to tell the writers and the fans I do not know. But the chances are that he I will take his cue from a statement by Lew Wentz, the Oklahoma oil man, who, it is reported on good authority, really has closed that deal for the Cardinals. Wentz insists that the time has come for the magnates to return to the old personal ownership and personal contact system which governed be* fore the game ran into millions ahd huge stadiums. “The club owners must get closer to the fans, and the psychology of the fans,” says Wentz, who, if he comes into the National League, will not be without a baseball background. Lew once coached the Fifth Avenue High School team in Pittsburgh, back in the days when the late Barney Dreyfuss held himself personally accountable to the customers, and used to debate with them in the grandstand. * M ANOTHER exponent of pesonal ownership and close contact with the fans was Charley Ebbets. He discussed the game and his club with his patrons in the grandstand. After contests he would station himself outside the park, where he was available for any bleacherite who figured he had a message for the president of the club. Many a heated debate did Charley hold. He had a seat in the back of the stand at old Washington Park, and when the Dodgers moved to Ebbets Field, he built himself a

high chair near the club offices and there defended his trades and predicted better times. Baseball has moved away from all that. Now it is difficult even for writers to make contacts with club presidents. The clubs do not always come clean with the writers and the game is enveloped in a ridiculous secrecy. It is time for the club owners to take this interesting tip from Wentz, who is not only a fan but a successful! business man, and knows how much of baseball is founded on good will.

Cathedral in 22-21 Victory Over Rockets Broad Ripple Quintet Holds Lead Until Last Quarter of Rough Game. The Cathedral high school basketball team edged out Broad Ripple, 22 to 21, in a rough basketball encounter at Shortridge gym last night. Twenty-nine personal fouls were called during the game. Free throws by McMahon and W. Connor kept the Irish ahead in the closing seconds of the tilt. Broad Ripple took a 13-to-8 lead in the first half and had increased it to 13-10 when the Irish began a rally late in the third quarter. Still trailing as the final period opened, Cathedral went ahead one point when Shiel and Shields sank field goals. Free throws by McMahon and W. Connor enabled the Irish to offset other Rocket scoring. Broad Ripple will play at Westfield tonight in an attempt to mark up a victory. Summary of last night’s game:

By United Press COLUMBIA, Mo., Dec. I—No further action toward changing football coaches at the University of Missouri will be taken until the board of curators meets some time in the next few weeks, it was understood today. The board, it was expected, will accept the resignation of Frank Carideo, head coach, which was offered yesterday. Carideo said he had several coaching propositions in view. He refused to discuss them, however, or talk about the situation here. It was rumored he might go to St. Louis university. Don Faurot, coach of the Kirksville Teachers, winners of twentysix consecutive games, and Emmett Stuber, whose cape Girardeau Teachers lost only to Kirksville this year, are possibilities for the Missouri job. Both are former Missouri stars.

The referee counted him out while he still was in this position. Max Baer, world’s heavyweight champion, was among the four thousand customers who paid about $6,000 to see promoter Rivkin’s show.

Falcaro Crashes 1,405 Maples in Five Games

By United Press FREMONT, 0., Dec. I.—A new world’s record is believed to have been established by Joe Falcaro, New York, world's champion match game bowler, when he crashed a total of 1,405 pins in five games here.

Boxing Show Under ‘Merit’ Plan Carded Lloyd Carter to Present Fast Bouts at Armory Next Friday. A boxing show wherein the fighters “fight or else,” will be conducted at the Armory Friday night, Dec. 7, under .the auspices of the Hercules A. C. with Lloyd Carter serving at matchmaker. Arrangements call for at least seven, and probably eight scraps, each bout carded for four rounjjf and the rounds scheduled for two and one-half minutes. Some real slugfests are promised inasmuch as Carter has indicated to the boxers that the more "heart” they put into the bouts, the better chances they will have of being signed for future mitt tossing shows. Carter believes local fight fans will patronize the shows if they are given action for the time spent around the ringside. If one of the contestants appears to be “taking it easy,” the chances are that he will have no further opportunity to engage in future scraps staged by the Hercules A. C. Carter intends to give all youngsters a chance, including ambitious glove throwers from around the state as well as local scrappers. The fact that a fighter loses does not mean that he is checked off the list. If he makes a real effort to deliver the goods, he will be provided further opportunities to display his wares. The show at the Armory next Friday night has received the sanction of the state athletic commission. Two men appointed by the commission will serve as judges. Popular prices will prevail, with 45 cents announced as general admission, 75 cents for reserved seats and $1 for ringside, with all tax paid. TAKE SHOOTING HONORS RISING SUN, Ind., Dec. I. Stanley Johnson, West Alexandria, 0., won an old-time muzzle-loading rifle match here Thursday. Prize for the oldest entrant went to Andrew Devore, 93, Ohio county, Indiana.

‘East’ Meets ‘West’ in Parochial Tilt Little Flower, St. Anthony’s to Mix Tomorrow.
