By Eddie Ash Florida Racing Prestige Is Challenged m m m X. D. Eleven Ends Season in Triumph

W ri H the ponies following the birds to the South and California, winter racing in those sections is booming. The Miami season starts Dec. 15, with the opening of Tropical Park. Bill Dwyer’s track is starting much earlier than ever liefore, and hundreds of horses have been shipped from Bowie to the Tropical plant and to Hialeah, which opens later in the tourist season. Santa Anita, the 51,250,000 track at Arcadia, near Los Angeles, gets under way on Christmas Day. The track’s outstanding event, the 5100,000 Santa Anita Handicap, is expected to draw the- best of the crop, and wrest from Florida much of its winter racing prestige. Outstanding among the horses expected to take part in this big event are Cavalcade. Twenty Grand, Equipoise, Discovery, Head Play and Faireno. And there will be other top flight bangtails entered. With such a group lining up, the west coast surely will have the edge in press notices—at least on Feb. 23, the date of the event. sss a a a ~X''HE "new deal” at Notre Dame worked. In his first year at the - helm of Irish football Elmer Layden turned in six victories against three defeats, toppit.* off the season with a 14-to-0 triumph over Southern California at Las Angeles Saturday. Fair enough, Elmer. The Irish were "thumped" in only one tilt, by the powerful Pittsburgh Panthers, the "married men’s eleven.” The score was 19 to 0. The other N. D. setbacks were 10 to 6, Navy, and 7 to 6, Texas. That record is good enough to satisfy the average N. D. follower. Anew coach requires a little time to learn the good and bad points of a player under fire, and it takes actual games to bring that quality to the surface. It was "Lavden Day” in Los Angeles Saturday. Elmer, the coach, used to shine out that way when he performed for Notre Dame. And Mike, his brother, skyrocketed to the headlines Saturday by scoring both Irish touchdowns. a a a . a a a Followers of professional football got a taste of bitter upsetitis yesterday In New York when the Giants mowed down the Chicago Bears, 30 to 13. And early in the contest the Bears were out in front, 13 to 3. The Bears were pre-game favorites. The fracas was for the pro league championship and when the Giants cut loose it developed into a runaway. Chicago supporters dropped heavy coin on the tilt. a a a a a a HARRY KIPKE will have three standout candidates from the physical education freshman squad when he starts rebuilding the Michigan varsity next fall. They are Arthur Valpey, an end, who is more than six feet tall and weighs 185 pounds; Robert Campbell, 170-pound triple threat half back, and Robert Schroeder, a 200-pound tackle. a a a a a a HAVING a father who is president of a university is advantageous in more ways than one, Teddy, young son of Jamas B. Conant of Cambridge, Mass., discovered. Asked how he liked having his father president, of Harvard, the boy replied: "Now we get better football tickets than we ever did before.” a a a a a a BABE HERMAN won’t stay in Pittsburgh long. The former Cub outfielder, recently traded to the Pirates, is due to be in another swap before Apr'l rolls around. . . . George Zaharias, the big. bad mat man. has a brothe. Chris, who's new to the grappling game. . . Jack Chevigny’s Texas Longnorns played before 59,000 more spectators this year than last . .so Jack is one coach who is sure to have a job next season. . . . One of the uniforms worn in the Army-Navy game picked up 18 extra pounds in that quagmire of Franklin Field, and the pounds were mostly mud.

♦ 02 the Rackboard-+ —BY PAUL BOXELL CRAWFORDSVILLE can't get over the hump. The Montgomery county seat has groomed some flashy teams in campaigns gone by, but nary a victory have the Athenians landed this year. Veedersburg tossed the C’ville pastimers for a 20-to-15 loss Friday night. Coach L. C. Greenley’s Green Devils have emerged on top in four of six struggles this fall, so it was no sign of unusual weakness in the team representing the Athens of Indiana.

H. T. McCullough was a consistent turner-outer of capable squads during his long reign at Shelbyville. He's off to a disheartening start in his first try at Crawfordsville, but Backboard is guessing that he’ll have a fair number of scalps in his lodge when the victory-hunting season closes next March. There may be real material in Kendall. Wheat, Stafford, Utterback. Combs and the others. Keep ’em plugging. Mack. a a a HAIL, the loyal Techites! Backboard, as is his custom, offers this column for the remarks of all and various members of the Grand Lodge of Rabid Fans. To date, all correspondence has come exclusively from Tech exploiters. Howzat? a a a Dear Backboard: I a.n. back again with a partner. First we want to thank every Indianapiis fan who pulled for Tech last season.

OFFICIALS MEET TO CODIFY HORSE RACING

Commissions From 8 States Hold Session

Arbiter May Be Appointed in Move to Improve Turf Sport. BY THOMAS H. NOONE United Press Racing Editor (Copyright 1934, by United Press) JERSEY CITY, N. J., Dec. 10.— The first organized move to codify horse racing in the United States under uniform regulations in all states, as is the case with baseball, football, golf and other sports, was started here today. Prominent racing officials from eight states met at the offices of the New Jersey State Racing Commission to consider a tentative set of rules drafted by William H. Cain of the New Jersey Commission. If a final draft is agreed upon, it will be submitted to the January meeting of the National Association of State Racing Commissioners in Miami, Fla., for universal adoption. Universal Code Sought Racing men invited to the meeting expressed keen interest and believed that if the states would accept the universal code instead of their own rules, which vary in important respects, a great step forward would be taken to improve racing. Some believed that a national arbiter might be appointed, as in the case of baseball or the movies. Since the National Association of State Racing Commissioners meets only once a year, it was pointed out, such an official could be appointed by the association to make decisions involvink rules during the year. The tentative rules drawn up by Cain, an outstanding trotting horse owner, combine what he believes to be the best features of regulations in New York, Maryland and Kentucky. Claiming Rule Under Fire Among the many problems that uniform racing rules are expected to solve are the claiming rule, suspensions of jockeys, owners and trainers, sponging, doping and similar malpractices, bookmaking and systems of betting at race tracks and other conditions applied to overnight events These rules are in force in various states in vastly different form under the present system. For example, the claiming rule in New York State, where the so-called "open claiming conditions” exist. Any person, or his agent, may throw the halter over any horse running in a claiming race, providing the claim has been entered and paid before the race and if it proves the highest bid. Many other states limit the claiming clause to owners who actually run a horse in a race.

Top Grapplers on Armory Program McMillen, Davis in Main Go; Steele Is Billed. Local wrestling fans are promised one of the most colorful heavyweight mat cards of the season at the Armory tomorrow night where "big time” grapplers will supply the action for the Hercules A. C. Lloyd Carter, matchmaker, has lined up three tussles, with each encounter promising action. Heze Clark will serve as the third man in the ring and the first bout will get under way at 8:30. The top match presents Jim McMillen. 222, of Chicago, with an opportunity to “even up” against Big Boy Davis, 228, of Columbus, O. The rough Ohioan gained a questionable decision in their first bout here earlier in the season. Armory fans also will have an opportunity of watching the highly rated Ray Steele, of Glendale, Cal., in action. Steele has been seen here but twice during the past eighteen months. He is one of a few grapplers to gain a draw' with Jim Londos. He tackles the powerful Whitey Hewitt. 225, of Memphis, in the semi-windup. Ray scales 214. In the opener Tom (.Bad Wolf) Marvin, 212, gets a test against Fred Grobmier, 202, the “lowa Cornstalk,” a newcomer here. Faurot May Have Missouri Contract By Vnited Press COLUMBIA. Mo., Dec. 10.—Don Faurot. whose Kirksville State Teachers football teams have won 26 consecutive games, appeared today to have been selected to succeed Frank Carideo as head coach at the University of Missouri. Carideo nas resigned. The university’s committee on intercollegiate athletics held a special meeting last night and presumably decided to recommend Faurot to the board of curators, which will make the final decision. No member of the committee would divulge the action taken, however. COUNTY TOURNEY SET Nine Teams Will Compete In Cage Meet at Sheridan. By Times Special NOBLESVILLE.

The Times football trophy will be awarded to the te am coached by Walter Fisher.

Muncie Is Selected As Outstanding Indiana Prep Eleven of 1934 Season

Times Grid Trophy Awarded to Bearcats; Jefferson Also Lauded. BY DICK MILLER Muncie High School’s football team today was declared, to be the most outstanding grid team in Hoosierdom during the 1934 season and the Bearcats were awarded the eighth annual Indianapolis Times trophy, “Triumph.” Undefeated in nine games, most of them against the best teams in the North Central Indiana Conference of wAich they were a member, powerful enough to score 215 points

against th.o s e teams, seven of which were held scoreless, the Bearcats are accorded a slight edge, on a cpmparative basis, over Jefferson High School of Lafayette and six other teams that commanded much consider a t i o n. Only two teams scored on the Muncie eleven this

fall, each tallying a lone touchdown. Both Muncie, coached by Walter Fisher, and Jefferson, coached by A. B. Masters, were members of the North Central League, but unfortunately did not meet in actual grid combat during the season. Muncie Given Power Edge Jefferson scored a total of 193 points to their opponents six. A check of the records of each team reveals they met some of the same teams and careful comparison merely bears out the opinion of the writer, other coaches in the league and newspaper men, that Muncie had the most power. The fact that both teams won nine games without defeat tied them for the championship of the North Central Indiana Conference. A post-season title game was impossible so each w r ere accorded a ?ochampionship trophy. In the instance of The Times trophy award, however, only one selection is mar’.e, so it falls upon the writer to nuke a decision. The Times award is made annually with the approval of the Indiana High School Athletic Association, which in 1927 gave the wri.er permission to select annually the most outstanding team of the year, so long as it was made clear that the I. H. S. A. A. and its officials were in no w'ay connected with the selection or the award. The Previous Winners This is the first time Muncie ever gained the award. Previous winners of the trophies were: 1927 Froebel of Gary. 1928 Clinton. 1929 Horace Mann of Gary. 1930 Emerson of Gary. 1931 Central of South Bend. 1932 Clinton. 1933 Clinton. One must not gather the impression from what has been written before that the decision as to who would get this year’s award rested solely between Muncie and Jefferson. Quite the contrary', because many teams were considered and six especially, turned in mighty fine records during the season just closed. They were Bicknell, Central of South Bend. Whiting, Clinton, Memorial of Evansville and Decatur. Bicknell’s biggest achievement during the seasomthat finally found them undefeated, but tied in two games, was their 7-6 victory over Clinton. Coach Max Kidd had a strong defensive combination but their offense bogged down twice when they failed to score on Emerson of Gary, who tied them 0-0, and against Linton, who held them to a 6-6 tie. They won the Wabash Valley championship, however. Burnham’s Team Strong As the curtain fell over the 1934 season one team stood out as a real contender for anybody’s championship and that team was Central of South Bend. Coached by the veteran Elmer H. Burnham the Bears might best be described in the words of their crafty mentor. “Started slowly with only four letter men. Finished with one of the strongest teams if not the strongest I have ever coached at South Bend.” The slow start phase counted

heavily against the upstaters in the award determination. The team that won The Times trophy in 1931 finds itself much in the same position this year as it was last, when early season losses offset a fast finish and rewarded it with the championship of the Northern Indiana High School Conference each year. This fall Washington of East Chicago gained an early season, 9-7, victory over South Bend, while Emerson of Gary defeated them, 6-0, one week later. After those setbacks the Burnham machine gradually gained power, winning each successive game until it finally clinched the eastern division title of the NIHSC. In a play-off for the all-league title with Whiting, western division winners, the Bears won decisively, 20-0. Thanksgiving Day they went East to defeat White Plains, N. Y., 13-0. Clinton Among Best Clinton, winners of the trophy in 1928, 1932 and again in 1933, began the 1934 season with a scoreless tie against Sullivan. Coach John Magnabosco can produce statistics to aid his argument that Clinton outgained Bicknell in yardage, etc., but in the final analysis of that game the scoreboard was Bicknell, 7; Clinton, 6, and forms the deciding barometer. Clinton looked mighty impressive on Thanksgiving Day when it trounced the powerful Mooseheart (111.) team, 32-0, but The Times award is made primarily on the basis of Indiana competition. Central twice has dimmed the hopes of Whiting for the award. Last year after coach Ray Gallivan had sent his charges through a very successful season, Burnham’s c:ew upset them in the NIHSC title game, 14-13, and this year, after piling up nine consecutive victories without a tie or defeat, South Bend, again crushed their hopes, 20-0. A few days later they came back, however, to down a powerful Champaign (111.) team, 19-0, in a Turkey Day feature for their tenth season victory. Don Ping’s Memorial of Evansville team also was undefeated. It captured the Pocket City title in a mathematical standing. Both Bosse and Central of Evansville held the Pingmen to scoreless tie games. Decatur in Two Ties Decatur comes into the real limelight for the first time with an undefeated team coached by Hugh Andrews. Tne only blemishes on the upstaters’ record was two scoreless tie games with Central and South Side teams of Ft. Wayne. The choice of the most outstanding team far, the season narrows

down to the two undefeated and untied teams, Muncie and Jefferson of Lafayette. To support the vote of persons not connected with either team in favor of Muncie the comparison of the records of both teams is cited. In an early season game Muncie defeated Kokomo, 19-0, while at about the same time Jefferson defeated Kokomo, 6-0, Then along about mid-season Muncie defeated a bitter rival, Newcastle, 28-0. Anyone who knows Hoosier high school football and basketball rivalries knows that Newcastle would rather defeat Muncie than to win all their other games. Lafayette defeated this same Newcastle team, 12-0. The other comparison comes more or less indirect, but through the Frankfort and Anderson teams. Lafayette defeated Frankfort, 18-6, and Anderson defeated Frankfort, 12-6, which would indicate maybe Anderson and Frankfort were about even caliber, but when Anderson played Muncie in a rivalry scrap, Muncie won, 41-6.

Both Teams Matched The writer saw both teams in action, both at the beginning and last of the season when he officiated games in which they engaged. Muncie started off with great power and continued on throughout the campaign, only tiring towards the end of the schedule. Coach Masters of Jefferson was forced to build anew forward wall at the start et the season, having only one leftover lineman from the 1933 team that lost only the first game of a nine-game schedule. When the new line began functioning towards the end of the season it is doubtful if Muncie or any team could have beaten them. They had an evenlybalanced, fast-stepping back Aeld the entire season. It is regrettable that both Muncie and Jefferson do not extend their football season to Thanksgiving, which would permit late-season or pest-season games of championship bearing. Games between these eight teams certainly would have been thrillers. It is our feeling that Muncie came nearest of any being a well-balanced machine at the start, middle and finish of the season. Likewise, the Bearcats had power in the line, class on the ends and defense as well as attack in the back field. It was a strong machine with fine replacements and is richly deserving of being called the most outstanding high school eleven in Indiana durig the 1934 season. li. fact, Coach Fisher and his boys have turned in a consistent and outstanding record during the last four years, winning 33 games, tying two and losing only four.

Says She’ll Be Champ Babe Didrikson is getting rather Dizzy Deanish. She says she’ll be American and British women’s golf champwn before she gets through with the game. And like Dean, she really has the stuff to battle against odds in sports. The Texas girl is a fighter.

Bears’ String of 34 Wins Broken In Title Tussle Strong Scores 17 Points for Giants in 30-13 Rout. iff?United Pres* NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—Professional football is ruled today by new champions, crowned after one of the hottest football battles ever waged on a frozen gridiron. With a last period avalanche of scoring, the New York Giants yesterday over-came a 13-3 lead held by the Chicago Bears, and turned thd same into rout in winning by 30-13. They broke the Bears’ winning streak that had stretched through 34 consecutive games. Big Day for Ken More than a year ago Ken Strong, towering former ace of the New York University back field, kicked a field goal that beat Chicago for the last time; until yesterday. He led the attack in bringing the National League championship East before a crowd of nearly 50,000 that forgot fears of frost bite in that wild last period. Strong's contribution for the day was 17 points—two touchdowns, two points after and a field goal. Frankian, who took the injured Badgro's place at end, and Danowski, injected into the lineup two weeks ago when Harry Newman was injured, added a touchdown apiece for the Giants. Manders Clicks Twice The power of that sudden, unexpected attack wiped out Bronko Nagurski’s touchdown for the Bears, along with two field goals by Manders in a game almost equal to the one of last year in which the Bears finally nosed out the Giants after the lead had changed seven times. Yesterday’s victory broke the Bear’s two-year rule and brought to each Giant s(>2l. winner’s share of the $64,504 in receipts. Each loser earned $414. Kautsky Net Aces Swamp Savoy Five Johnny Wooden Paces City Cagers in 33-26 Win. The Kautsky A. C. basketball team staged a whirlwind finish to trounce the touted Savoy Big Five quintet of Chicago, 33-to-26, before 2200 persons at the local Armory yesterday. The Chicago Negro pastimers were unable to slow down Johnny Wooden, the Kautsky ace, who rang up 18 points for the city squad. Jack Mann, the Savoy star, was bottled up effectively by George Chestnut, the Kautsky center, and tallied only on two free throws. The invaders were away to an impressive start, rolling up a 9-to-4 edge in the first quarter. The Kautskys speeded up their offense as the next period began, however, and jumped into the lead.
