By Eddie Ash HOO&IER ‘ENEMIES’ CLASP HANDS tt tt M AN OLD RIVALRY IS RESTORED

ipOLLOWERS of sports collegiate in the Hoosier state are happy to know that the De Pauw' Tigers and Butler Bulldogs are going to square off again and battle for supremacy m athletics. The traditional rivals have been apa*t over a six-year stretch and previous efforts to get them together met with lifted eyebrows and emphatic declinations. A few weeks ago the healing of the breach grew' warm and late yesterday it was patched up with a lot of good, old-fashioned handshaking all around. The renewal nf relations probably will begin with a dual track meet, next spring, and during the basketball season of 1936- 37 the De Pauw and Butler cage squads will clash. In football the teams arne t likely to battle until 1937, when the Bulldogs are slated to supply the visiting attraction at the De pauw centennial home-coming, which is expected to develop into one of the biggest celebrations in the history of Hoosier colleges. Alumnt of both institutions and the sports public lost out on some rare entertainment when the schools knocked off friendship. De PauwButler football and basketball battles usually were among the best thrillers on the calendar, ana a a a PEPPER MARTIN, the Wild Horse of the St. Louis Cardinals, became a midcet auto race bug last summer and let the miniature speedsters detract from his baseball. At any rate, that’s the opinion formed by his bosses and it is said they have ordered him to give up the tiry motors nr take a salary cut. The Pepper Pot grew so hot over the “doodle buys” that he bought a string of the four-wheeled buzz wagons. a a a a a a ONE season of umpiring was enough for Fred Marberry, the veteran American League pitcher. He tried the guessing game in his own league last season aid said even his old player friends gave him nasty looks and told htm “to take off that Detroit uniform.” He had left the Tigers to don the blue and now wants to go back to pitching. a a a a a a A YOUNG baseball player has turned up by the name of Tvrus Wag- -**• tier. He played with an American amateur team that returned recently from a tour of Japan. A name like that may start a fad, such 8 Hans Cobb, Ruth Gehrig and Dean Cochrane. ana a a a (CONNIE MACK swung another deal the other day for ‘Joe Cash.” He * sold the radio rights at Shlbe Park for $25,000.

Tigers and Bulldogs Sign for Renewal of Relations De Pauw and Butler Settle Differences and Agree on New Athletics Policy: Apart Six Years, Announcement that Butler and De Pauw Universities had renewed athletic relations added considerable interest to the annual meeting of the Indiana Intercollegiate Conference today in the Claypool where pthirties d'recotrs, coaches and faculty representatives met in business pnd schedule-making sessions.

Preliminary plans do not call for football or basketball games between the Tigers and Bulldogs until the 1936-37 season unless shifting in schedules is made today to bring about a grid struggle next fall. De Pauw officials announced their 1936 football schedule completed, while Butler needs at least five games. Basketball cards for the current season were completed a year ago. so nothing short of a postseason game for championship determination rould bring the two together late next spring. First step towards bringing the two schools together after a six-year break in athletic relations came Thursday night in Crawfordsville, when Dr. L. B. Hopkins, president, and Robert E Vaughan, athletics director of Wabash, entertained the representatives of Do Pauw and Butler. The Wabash officials have been active for some time in bringing about a get-together between the Tigers and Bulldogs, with fidl realization of having keen competition existing between the trio off old-time rivals, Wabash, De Pauw and Butler. The agreement places the entire athletic policy in the hands of the faculty, who also will determine all eligibility rules. These rules wall be subject to enforcement by a faculty representative on athletics at each of the three schools involved in the conference. Another part of the agreement reached was that scholarships are to be awarded only to students of high scholastic standing and are to be awarded by a faculty committee Relations between thetwo schools were severed in the spring of 1930 just before a scheduled basketball gamp and came when De Pauw officials charged Oral Hildebrand, Butler netter, had been playing semi-professional baseball. Hildebrand is now' a big league pitcher. VETERAN OERBY KING MAY RETURN TO STUD iii Vnited Press NEWMARKET, England, Dec. 14. Twenty Grand, winner of the 1931 Kentucky Derby and one of the best-known American bred race horses, may be retired to the stud for the second time, it was learned today. Mrs. Payne Whitney’s 7-year-old was retired shortly after winning the Kentucky Derby in record time, but was shipped here dast March where it was thought the underfoot conditions of English tracks would be suitable to his weak legs. After several unsuccessful races it was decided to withdraw the veteran campaigner from active training.

Brown Whips Tracy Cox in Speedy Fight Local Welter Earns State Title Belt as Yule Gift for Family. BY PAUL BOXELL Willard Brown, who recently announced a resolution to settle down and “go places” in the fistic business because he became a “family man,” passed the first milestone of his new campaign when he decisively outpointed Tracy Cox in a scrappy 10-rounder at the Armory last night. With the victory, Brown, a local youth, captured the state welterweight championship belt, which he claims he had promised as a Christmas present to his baby daughter, born last Thanksgiving Day. Perhaps the tot won’t appreciate it now, Willard says, but he’ll have fun telling her some day all about her first Yuletide gift. Brown Uncovers Right Brown, figured mostly a counterpuncher, surprised an enthusiastic crowd by stepping In frequently to take the offensive away from Cox, also a popular local boy, who put up a game but futile fight. Employing his lightning left to its usual advantage, Brown opened up with a right cross in the late rounds that slowed down Tracy and kept his customary telling blows at a minimum. With his very first southpaw jab in the opening round, Willard raised a -welt around Tracy’s left eye. Keeping up the rapid fire gunnery from his port side, Brown captured the first three rounds, and ripped open a nasty cut under Cox’ bruised optic. Tracy Goes to Work Tracy came back strong in the fourth, landing, with accuracy, a couple of hooks to the body and head that forced his opponent into definite retreat. Cox’ touted right smash, which has sent many a scrapper to the resin in local rings, got in its best work in the fourth and fifth frames, but managed only to shake Brown, not grog him. Both boys were bleeding about the face after a turbulent sixth round, which was even. Brown went down for no count. Fans were divided in opinion as to whether he toppled from a blow or was pushed. It appeared to be a confused combination of both. In any event no damage was done. Shows ’Em Something New The local rivals matched right punch for right punch in the last four rounds, which was something new for fans who have followed Brown’s fortunes since he returned recently from a long campaign in Australia. In previous fights here since his return, the new state champ used only his flailing left to gain decisions over Fuggy Weinert and Peter Mike. Brown held height and reach margins over Cox, and both proved of noticeable advantage. Their weights were announced as almost even. Willard scaled down to a surprisingly low 144*4. while Tracy jumped up to 144. The customers apparently were pleased with the scrap, giving both mittmen a noisy round of applause at the final gong. Brady Quits Early Big Bill Brady, Greenfield heavyweight. slumped to the resin after stopping a rather anemic punch thrown by Scotty Fuller, Indianapolis, and was counted out in the first, round of a scheduled six-round nrelim. Kenny Manes, Fort Wayne welterweight, and Billy Breedlove, Greenw'ood. mauled to a draw in a six-round crowd-pleasing slugfest. Joe LaPell, Louisville lightweight, outpointed Jimmy Shannon, Indianapolis, in a six-rounder. Bob Kahn, Indianapolis, whipped Jimmy Tudor, Indianapolis Negro, in the opening four-round bout. The program w'as presented by the Hercules Athletic Club.

De Pauw Takes to Road for 2 Tilts Tigers to Oppose Earlham at Richmond Tonight. Times Special GREENCASTLE. Ind., Dec, 14. DePauw University’s basketball team takes to the road today for two games away from home before Christmas recess begins. Tonight, the Old Gold netters meet Earlham at Richmond, and Tuesday they will take on Illinois in their second struggle with a Big Ten team. They lost a close one to Wisconsin in their first game, 18 to 16. In the belief that Manchester beat I'ePauw Monday night because the local defense folded up in the last half. Coach Tubby Moffett has drilled his men intensively this week on defense. Some offensive plays also have been polished up in an effort to smooth out the Tiger attack which faltered at crucial moments Monday. Coach Moffett plans to start the same lineup against Earlham that faced Manchester. Earlham showed power in crushing downtrodden Taylor Dec. 6, 46 to 12. Southwestern (Kan. 1 ), will come here on Dec. 20 to meet DePauw on the day before Christmas vacation i begins.

Memorial of Evansville Selected as Indiana's Outstanding Prep Eleven

Times Grid Trophy Goes to Tigers; Other Fine Teams in State. BY DICK MILLER nrO Memorial High School football team of Evansville goes the award of the ninth annual Indianapolis Times trophy, “Triumph,” symbolic, in the opinion of the writer, of the outstanding prep grid squad in Hoosierdom during the 1935 season. Memorial was selected from a group of fine teams, five of which w'ould have the right, in the event of an actual series for the state championship, to insist upon a battle for any high honors being passed out. In the absence of stich a series the award is made by the writer on the basis of observation, comparison of records, and other facts compiled. The Tigers of Memorial were coached by Don Ping, and they were obliged to hang up an exceedingly impressive record during the season to gain the nod over such teams as Garfield of Terre Haute, New Albany, Hammond and Mishawaka. In addition, there was little Lowell High, a team coached by Emerson (Jim) Carter, former Purdue half back, who was enjoying his first season of coaching. Jim brought his team through an undefeated and imtied nine-game campaign. Lowell hardly can be classed as “extreme tops” because its league does not contain the caliber of competition faced by other leading elevens. tt a # THERE was Shortridge of Indianapolis, undefeated but tied once, which likewise failed to meet enough top competition to gain the honor. Central of Fort Wayne was undefeated and had a fine record until meeting Memorial, the trophy winner, in a post-season game which Memorial won, 13-0. Central of Fort Wayne was the only team to defeat Wabash. Horace Mann of Gary, Washington of East Chicago, Jefferson of Lafayette, Newcastle and Kirklin each had teams that turned in fine all-season records. In 1927 the Indiana High School Athletic Association gave the writer permission to select annually the outstanding high school team of the year, so long as it was made clear the I. H. S. A. A. and its officials were in no way connected with the selection or the supplying of the award. ana FROEBEL of Gary w r as the winner of the trophy the first year, and each year since the trophy has gone to an I. H. S. A. A. team. Memorial is not a member of the association, but operates under the same eligibility rules and annually engages in football contests with all the other Evansville city schools and other state teams who are members. Previous winners of the trophy were: 1927—Froebel, Gary 11931—Central, 1928—Clinton | South Bend. 1929—Horace Mann. 1932—Clinton. Gary 11933—Clinton. 1930—Kmerson, j 1034—Muncie. Gary Memorial, under the directon of Coach Ping, has shown marked improvement during his five-year regime. Ping has produced better teams each year and has developed several outstanding players. Last year his team was one of the eight considered for The Times award. Memorial has been undefeated since the windup of the 1933 season. The 1935 record of the trophy winners appears elsewhere on this page along with the records of other teams given serious consideration.

Phil Bisesi, Ed Striebeck Pass 700 to Pace Bowlers of City Leagues

BY BERNARD HARMON FRIDAY the thirteenth may have been a “jinx day” for some of the city’s tenpin pastimers, but to Phil Bisesi and Ed Striebeck it represented the banner day of the year, for the popular pair, during their appearance in the Fountain Square Recreation League, tossed their season’s best totals. Bisesi reached

745, a season rec-j ord in the Fountain circuit, through games of 233. 276 and 236.! while Striebeck j with 267. 226 and 237 totaled 730 in his three tries. The latter received some brilliant support from Dan Abbott and' Bowes Seal Fast totaled 3058 to

nab an odd-game decision over Cook’s Goldblume, which with a patched lineup, was unable to turn in its usual big total. Abbott had a 677 from 208. 245 and 224, while Jess Pritchett Sr., using games of 254, 223 and 222 reached 699, the best solo series of the Blumes. and the third best total in local circles during the evening. Don Johnson turned in 698 for the losers, who were without the services of Lee Carmin and John Murphy. The Bowes had games of 1013, 1050 and 995. With a quartet of members ovet the 600 mark, Falls City Hi-Bru posted the highest team total of thf evening in winning three times ovei Sterling Beer. The Brus, aided bj Ray Roberson’s 664, Carl Hardin’s 641. Charlie Cray’s 630 and Red Mounts’ 608, tacked up games oi 977, 1048 and 1073 for a 3098. Flap Jacks also passed the 300<] mark, games of 963. 1007 and 1064 netting them a 3034 and a shutout victory over Chas. Denby Cigars. Paul Stemm with 626, Ed Stevenson with 623 and Carl Mindach with 614 were largely responsible for the brilliant performance of the Jacks’ aggregation. Although two of Bisesi's mates on the Lieber Lager's joined him with honor series, the team dropped one game to Acetylene Products Cos. Herman Bohne and Fred Schleimer totaled 615 and 609 to boost the team to a 2994, from 1028, 1014 and 952.

Butler Cagers Collide With State Rivals Test Franklin Here Tonight; Both Seeking Return to Victory Trail. Butler and Franklin College basketball teams will take to the hardwood at the Fairview' Fieldhouse tonight with a common purpose in mind, that being to atone for setbacks suffered last week. The local Bulldogs fell before the seven-game sweep of Indiana Central in their opener, while the Grizzlies bowed to Central Normal. Neither team boasts exceptional size, but both are reported well equipped in the speed department. Butler’s starting lineup probably will consist of Jones and Gerkensmeyer, forwards; Armstrong, center, and Batts and Brafford. guards. Coach Tony Hinkle has drilled the Bulldogs in man-to-man defense this week, and intends to use that system against both Franklin and the Pittsburgh Panthers, who invade the fieldhouse Monday night. Coach Hinkle also has been stressing the follow-in this week, declaring his cagers failed to make the most of that maneuver in the Indiana Central fray. The game tonight starts at 8.

Ripple Tops Manual in Thriller; Washington Wins Rockets Eke Out 26-25 Triumph in Dramatic Finish: Continentals Impressive Over Danville. BY TOM OCHILTREE Grand guys, those Manual basketball players. After working their hearts out last night, they took as disappointing a defeat as a team ever suffered, and took it like sportsmen.

Since the Issue was confused for several minutes after the game, the Manual boys easily could have started an argument, but they didn’t play it that way. The Broad Ripple Rockets, their courageous opponents, rightfully earned their laurels, and staged a magnificent rally to win a 26 to 25 decision. Evidently Coach Frank Baird's lessons in psychology are having an effect, because his boys operated last night on the old “team that won’t be beat can’t be beat” theory. Time after time they came from behind to tie the score or to gain a slender lead. -Just as often the Manuals started a counter attack and stayed in the game. The count stood 25 to 24 in Manual’s favor when Frank Reese, a little lad, but mighty, hit for the Rockets. Immediately the stands went into hysterics. The timekeeper sounded the horn to end the game, but neither team heard it. Taking the ball for one last desperate effort, Dick Gallamore, one of Manual’s heroes, dribbled to the center of the floor and looped in a long shot. Cheering sections from both schools rushed down and lifted the players on their backs. Manual rooters, who were seated across the floor from the timekeeper's stand, hadn't heard the horn, and they thought their squad had won. E*’en more jubilant were the Broad Ripple fans. The Manual boys, their faces still flushed with excitement, couldn't hide their disappointment when they were told they had lost, but they jumped down off their admirers’ shoulders and marched off the floor without a protest. When they were alone in the dressing room, it was pretty hard for boys even as game as they were to take. Throughout the first period the Manual team kept bearing down. They forced the action every minute and gave the crowd one chill after another as they swooped and swirled under the basket. Nervous and self conscious, the Broad Ripple boys couldn’t start a passing attack. The South Siders grabbed a 6 to 0 lead and then the Rockets called time out. When they came back they seemed better organized, and David McQueen dribbled under the basket for their first score. Manual's tall center, David Cohn countered with a similar shot, and the score stood 8 to 2 in favor of the Red and White team at the end of the period. Reese and Carol Combs went to work for the Rockets then and cut Manual’s lead down to one point.
