By Eddie Ash Net Coaches Advised to Speed Up Game mam Slow, Deliberate Play Kills Interest

L"'-l

A 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 current generation are keen for the slam-bang vogue in sports contests. B B B B B B ONE of the Four 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 Laydn. Jimmy Crowley and Harry Stuhldreher, the other three Horsemen of the 1924 Irish team. Colonel Miller, suh, resides in Cleveland. He has the rank of aide de camps on the staff of Governor Ruby Laffon of the Blue Grass state. Boy, mix up a flock of mint juleps and fetch my boss. a a B BUB 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 find 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! B B B B B B 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 ever the nation. It’s an opportunity for the boys on the 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 polish it finished the 1934 campaign it won’t take long for anew 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 contender? He selected Primo Camera, whose crown he lifted. Max replied: “I’q 'ce to fight him over again, but he has to convince the fans that he’s erving of a return match. I think he and Schmeling are the best of tJ. lot, but I don’t 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 JOCK SUTHERLAND, head football coach at the University of Pittsburgh, is scheduled to discuss the 1934 football season in a radio talk this evening over the NBC-WEAF network at 5:45. He is to take part in the Thornton Fisher sports program. The Panthers lost only to Minnesota this year. WLW, Cincinnati, will carry the Sutherland grid resume.

Army Favored as Tilt With Navy Arrives Middies Confident of Taking Game Because of Victory Over Notre Dame. BY STUART CAMERON United Press Sports Editor PHILADELPHIA Dec. I.—A Navy squad which has considered itself j one of destiny’s children since the first kickoff last September, today 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 tootball battle not merely to try to compress the score, not merely hoping for a break that would spell 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 in the assurance. Buzz Borrie9 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 hall 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. If Navy does win, it will be a sentimental victory. There is scarcely a "neutral” here but who hopes to see the oft-whipped midshipmen have their day. And, if truth were known, there are plenty of Army people who, way down deep in their hearts, feel precisely the same way.

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, who 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 Frank Thomas, Alabama Coach, Is From Notre Dame and Uses Rockne System; Ford Trick in Limelight.

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 pit two powerful football teams and a boatload of allAmerica timber, but if 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 Capstone eleven.

Anybody who was fortunate enough to see one of 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 waver 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 spades. Harry Mehre, ar other of Rockne’s pupils, had a lot

Williams

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

u AMONG other things, Melr.e announced that the Alabamas are three deep. In the language of we football experts, that means that there are three capable performrs for every spot on the ter.m. Thomas, always a modest -ind highly likeable fellow, is proud of his boys and rates Millard How *ll, his great half back, on a par with George Gipp, and Thomas ough, to know. Os course, a thing like 'hat is always open to debate. At any rate, it is granted that Howell is a lot of football riayer. 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 bowl three times and has never been beaten. And if what a lot of people say about the Dixie menace is correct, it does not look like the southerners will start losing on New Year’s day. tt u u 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 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 before the game ran into millions and huge stadiums. “The club owners must get closer to the fans, and the psychology of tfie 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. BUB ANOTHER exponent of personal 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 h 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, be 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 iin 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.

Oilers in 19 to 0 Walkaway The Whiting team that lost to Central still was far too good for one of Illinois’ best prep teams, Champaign. The Oilers were victors, 19 to 0, at Whiting. The game that knocked the dopesters over was the 32 to 0 win by Clinton over the Mooseheart (111.) eleven. Early in the season Mooseheart had defeated two northern Indiana elevens —La Porte and Elkhart —walloped a strong Elwood team and boasted of wins over Culver Military academy, Harrison Tech of Chicago, St. John’s Military academy, all strong teams.

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 rounds and the rounds scheduled for two and one-htif 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 aciion 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 t 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 Armoty 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.
