Shortridge Heading for Big Season, Says Coach Peterman Sees City Title in Offing, but Won’l Gamble on Southport Tomorrow Night.

BV rAUL BOXELL jDASKETBALL coaches are strange fellows. Especially the Hoosier liigh school variety. They have neither the optimi. m of the baseball manager nor the protective pessimism of the football professor, but rather a cautious combination of both. The basketball coach won’t say yes and he won’t say no. Some times he won’t even .say maybe. I' r example, Coach Kenneth Peterman was asked just how he llgun rl h: Shortridge High School Blue Devils would make out in their sea on opener against Southport's consistent Cardinals tomorrow night. Now. if Mr. Peterman had been a baseball boss he would have answered: “We re sure to take 'em if Lefty So-and-So is right, and did you over ee him when he wasn't burning up against those guys? It's a cinch. We ought to be at the top of the league by July.” And if Mr. Pe’ennan had been a gridiron groaner, he'd have moaned:

We haven't got a chance. Their line outweighs us 50 pounds to the man they're at full strength, were forced to start ten sophomores and our triple-threat half back is laid up with lumbago.” But Mr. Pe terman, being a basketball coach, said: •‘lt's true that Southport has a regular habit of mowing m under m the early part of the season. In fact, they beat u the last two years. But most always we come back later to set them down or push them out in tourney play. The Cardinals, as usual, have a beefy bunch of boys this year, but we can equal that with speed and accurate ball-handling. “Were slow starters That’s the way we want to be. Then we’ve got plenty left when it comes to that drive down the stretch. However, I had expected to be 'able to take Southpoit into camp tomorrow night. Now

Coach Peterman

I’m not so sure. You see, I’ll have to do without two lettermen and a promising newcomer.” “Bud Mueller, the best ball handler in the outfit, is still wobbly from a ton.siii:. operation and Jaek Brown has had just three nights’ drill to loosen up and locate the basket after quitting football.” The newcomer mentioned by Coach Peterman is Tom Brooks, a junior who earned ai r titer at South Bend last season and came wandering into the halls of Shortridge this semester. Coach Kenny saw Brooks strut his stuff in practice. “Ah, ’ gloated Kenny, with a twinkle, “I've got a real comer in this b Then young Mr. Brooks hooked up in a friendly jostle in the locker : and emerged with a broken collar bone. So he's out for a few weeks.

3'f.s, Sir, Future Looks Bright Concerning shortridge’s | chances lor a banner season, ; Coach Peterman leans decidedly to the brighter side. In fact, he has an j idea that his boys in Blue will be j strong enough to snare the city title. “Competition in the city will be : hot this year,” he predicts. “Roland j •Jones will have another strong j team at V ashington. Manual, I j understand, has four returning veterans, and Tech has an active new coach in Bayne Freeman.” If Kenny's Shortridge lads are beaten by Tech, he will have himself to blame, in a way. Freeman, who comes to Tech new this season front Bedford, was captain of the 1925-26 Franklin High School quintet, and his coarh was none other than Kenny Peterman. “It makes a fellow feel old,” smiles Peterman, “to have ns a rival a man whom he tutored in high Bchool. He was 19 years old then and I was 21.” But Peterman isn’t so ancient as basketball coaches go. In fact you can figure out his age from the foregoing facts if you care to wrestle with a bit of mathematics. a st n Three-Second Rule — Pooh! THE new three-second rule, which has made first class worriers out of the majority of In- j diana's prep mentors, holds no terror for Peterman. The law provides that no offensive player shall remain in the foul line zone under J his own basket more than three ( seconds. “We’re safe, because we don’t use a renter in that pivot Spot. It takes a tail boy to work in there and the best we have is an even six-footer, Dudley Schwartz. If you put a man under the basket who isn’t big and j capable, you merely block up space I that should be open for forwards cutting in.” The new state tournament setup probably is easier on the boys playing. but it stands a dangerous chance or killing tourney interest, Coach Peterman believes. And Peterman has had his share of bustle around the state tourney hardwood during fotir years at Wiley of Terre Haute and five years at Shortridge. The Shortridge roster has more or less a "cosmopolitan” complexion. Among the probable starters. Jack Brown put in his freshman year at Martinsville, Jack Dawson came as a sophomore from Frankfort, Kelsey McDaniel hails from Bloomington, and Brooks, when he mends, is fresh from South Bend. Schwartz and Mueller are the only native neltcrs. e a a Jusl Watch Our Speed—“T FIND,” explains Peterman, “that x boys who come here from other towns are well versed in fundamentals and know how to handle the

ball. That’s because they pick up plenty of experience on grade school teams. Indianapolis boys don't play in grade school and usually are greener than grass when they try out for the high school team.” But Mr. Peterman, you haven't taken a clear stand on that game at Southport tomorrow night. “Well,” says Mr. Peterman, “I happen to know that those suburban boys are bigger than ever. In fact, there's a giant center out there by name of Reno who even is crowding out Frank Winchell—you remember that big fellow—a veteran—along with Webb, Snyder and Schmoll.” “But,” —and again Kenny’s twinkle —“We're planning on throwing too much speed at them. It will be close. Do I make myself clear?” Butler to Seek Stronger Rivals, Hinkle Declares Many Ask Too Much Money, He Reveals. Stronger opposition will be added to the 1935 Butler University football schedule if the games can be arranged without a departure from the “sane and sound” program that has been followed during the past, two years, according to Athletics Director Paul D. <Tony) Hinkle. Hinkle revealed his plans last night at the Blue Key banquet for the 1935 Indiana Intercollegiate champions. “One school which was invited to come here last season demanded more guarantee than the school took in from football all season,” Hinkle said. Present Program to Continue Butler is seeking games with teams from the Big Ten Conference on down, Hinkle said, and hoped some might accept. The immediate future, however, will find Butler en-! deavoring to develop more natural rivalries, continuing to schedule Indiana teams that have been friendly competitors, and improving to meet the criticisms that seem to be leveled. no matter which direction he launches his program, Hinkle concluded. Five-minute toasts were given the team by sports writers, radio commentators and persons connected with Butler. Mayor Kern presented each player with a certificate acknowledging the fine record compiled by the team. Twenty-seven varsity “B,” awards were presented as follows: Roscoe Batts, Inman L'lackabv, Anriv Boa. Robert Brown. Codv Burdeft. Spare Costas iraptain-electt.

N. D., Purdue Place Four Each on All-State Team Indiana U. Awarded Three Places; Field of Candidates Greatest in Years, Expert Writes. BY DICK MILLER There were fewer standout performers and more good football players on Indiana's three major university elevens this season than in many years.

With Notre Dame back in the national limelight and Indiana and

Purdue both crashing into the first division of the Western Conference, Hoosier football fans justly point with pride to the many firstclass gridiron warriors who represented the three schools. U n and o u b t edly William Valentine ( The Bard) Shakespeare, brilliant running, kicking

and passing back of the Notre Dame team, and Wayne Vernal Millner, end, will receive the nod by many All-America selectors. Some Selections Easy In selecting the annual all-state, Big Three college eleven for The Indianapolis Times, some posts were easy. Shakespeare, the man who almost single-handed defeated Pittsburgh, and Millner, who pulled games out of the fire with brilliant catches of passes, were not hard to choose. Frank (Butch) Loebs of Purdue, a steady player all season, defensively was a Rock of Gibraltar. Offensively, he flashed brilliantly and we recall to your attention his great catch of a pass that meant victory over lowa. At one tackle we place another standout, Richard (Dick) Pfefferle of Notre Dame. Courageous, otherwise he could not have stayed in there game after game with one arm strapped to his side. At the other tackle the choice is John Clem Woltman, Purdue sophomore. Clem in his first collegiate season continued to be the great player he was with the South Bend High School champions. Kelso Gets the Call Reed Kelso, Indiana center, continued to play throughout the season with a badly injured leg. serving as captain of one of the Crimson's greatest teams. He gets the call over Howard Bell of Purdue and Fred Solari and Henry- Pojman of Notre Dame. Chris Dal Sasso, another player upon whom Indiana depended much before the season opened was injured at a critical time. He finallygot back into the lineup against Purdue and showed flashes of his old-time form. Sophomore Makes Good But among the many players tried by Bo McMiUin at the Bloomington school, one rapidly took the form of

INDIANAPOLIS, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1935

a real star. He was big Ted Livingston, 210-pounder of Geneseo, Kansas. As the season progressed, Ted became better. Like Woltman he made good in his sophomore year. Purdue had two fine guards in Fred Voss and Wayne Sandefur. In games against the toughest foes Voss won his spurs. No one can raise the question that Notre Dame did not have a field general during the tough campaign just closed. As the season progressed Wally Fromhart established himself in the hearts of all Notre Dame fans by his great play. Wendell Walker Rises Wendell Walker of Indiana in our opinion rose to the occasion whenever called upon. His pass to Huffman last Saturday was an example of his ability to take over the reversed assignments and produce. Mike Layden at Notre Dame was a steady player. Andy Pilney, in 30 minutes at Ohio State, put his name on the lips of thousands. Tom McGannon, scintillating ball-carrier of Purdue, needs more seasoning. Cecil Isbell, another Boilermaker potential star, was injured much of the season, while Shakespeare and Walker were in every game from the start of the season. The full back position forms somewhat of a similar situation. Fred Carideo of Notre Dame dropped from the race because of injuries, and Corbett Davis of Indiana encountered like difficulties late in the season. The call goes to John Drake. Purdue's ace plunger and defensive star. Greyhound Netters to Meet Huntington Indiana Central's basketball quintet will play a return game with the Huntington College team at the University Heights court tonight. In the previous contest on the Huntington floor, the Greyhounds won, 44 to 27. Dorton and Quackenbush, forwards; Byers, center, and R. Eaton and Swank, guards, probably will start for Central tonight. WENDT NAMED CAPTAIN By l nited Press COLUMBUS. 0., Nov. 26 —Merle Wendt, end from Middletown. 0., today had been selected as captain of the 1936 Ohio State football team. Wendt’s play was outstanding during the last season and he was named on the all-Western Conference team by the United Press.

Golfers Stymied, Agree to Plans for Boulevard

The Park Board, using a brand of diplomacy that would have done credit to a British ambassador, today had converted a group of irritated public links golfers into allies and had adopted a resolution calling for the extension’of Pleasant Run-blvd.

This parkway and drive, to be built with WPA labor, will extend eastward from Arlington-av a short distance, then bridge Pleasant Run and veer south of the tenth green. The ninth tee will be shortened. From there it will go eastward on Shelley-av to Kitley-av and north on an extension of that street to lOth-st. Then it will follow Pleasant Run to Shadeland-dr, and extend north to 56th-st. Public links golfers have protested loudly that the boulevard would ruin the Pleasant Run course byshortening several holes. They presented petitions and held a lengthy argument with the board in a preliminary- skirmish Thursday. Last night the Park Board got the drop on a golfers’ committee byshowing them plans to change the Pleasant Run lay-out into a ninehole course. Paul Frame, club

grounds committee chairman, protested this move, and finally the committee went into a huddle with board members and agreed on the route. Before they left, the golfers promised to help the board get land donations south of the course for the parkway. Members of the club's committee who attended the meeting in addition to Mr. Frame were Dr. Dale Lentz, president; Telford B. Orbison, Jack Crawford and J. D. McClure.
