Indiana, Co-Holder of Big Ten Basketball Title, to Open Campaign Against Cincinnati Frigay Night, With Seven Lettermen Available.

F one were attempting to make a composite photograph of the perfect basketball coach it would be practically impossible to leave out the countenances of Ward Lambert of Purdue and Everett Dean of Indiana. These two gentlemen of the hardwood are among the chosen few who know when a basketball play starts and ends. When they get to that point of excellence it’s hard for me to talk to them. Because I still watch the guy with the ~ ball whether it’s basketball or tennis. I'll confess that it was some time before I realized that the two fundamentals of basketball were not bouncing and shooting. To think that such men as Mr. Dean and Mr. Lambert could sit down quietly with their boys and dope out lanes of traffic to be followed on a hardwood floor which * doesn’t even have yard-markers, to say the least, baffled me. , 8 » » s 2 2 BUT they do. And from what I've been -able to see through the cracks of dressing room doors, a basketball chalk talk takes longer and consumes more chalk than any other sport. Yes, sir, a basketball play is fourth year Latin to me. But then it is pretty evident from the scores that some of the opponents of Indiana and Purdue don’t understand the Hoosiers’ plays either, so I feel better. Indiana gets under way Friday against Cincinnati at Bloomington. ‘Mr. Dean has been letting his men in on the fact that they grow some nice basketball players down Cincy way and his drills have been long ones. Lo ‘In the matter of all-around training there are few to equal Mr. Dean. About the middle of the football season I happened to look into the Indiana gymnasium at Bloomington and I saw, not a flock-of basketball players but a flock of leaping and lunging volleyball artists. o ” ” ” 2 OTICING Mr. Dean at one end of the floor, and also hoticing that he seemed interested in the volleyball games, I approached him on the matter and found that several of this year’s prospective basket tossers were in the game. He said that volleyball was about as near to basketball as one could get without getting right into basketball. Mr. Dean has a big task before him this season, the task of defending the Big Ten title he won last year along - with Mr. Lambert of Purdue. The two schools tied for first place. Mr. Dean has seven of the first 10 lettermen available for the start of the season. Fred Fechtman, the rangy center, will graduaje, however, at the turn of the semester in February: : This year's co-captains, Vern Huffman and Kenneth Gunning, are among the returning lettermen, which must be a solace to Mr. Dean. Mr. Huffman was named an AllAmerican guard last year. Mr. Gunning is a capable for-

ward and fast as lightning. ” ” 2 ”

R GUNNING and Mr. Huffman, being footballers, are not scheduled to report until this week, along with Jim

also names on the football roster. Babe Hosler, Joe Platt, Bob Etnire, and Willie Silberstein are other lettermen. After the Cincinnati game, Indiana will meet Miami and Kansas State at Bloomington before packing their top hats for a trip to the East during Christmas holidays. First they play Manhattan, Dec. 19, then Villanova at Philadelphia, then hop back to the Butler fieldhouse for a game with Butler New Year's night. : 1 expect that a great many “watch” parties will be postponed from New Year's eve to New Year's night when they hear that the Bulldogs and Hoosiers are to celebrate.

BEWILDERING (

Upsets Haunt Memories of

As ‘The Black Autumn of 36.

BY LESLIE AVERY United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Nov. 30.—Another football season has ended, but the memory of its many startling upsets remained today to plague the “experts.” Favorite elevens refused to play

true to form and left the so-called |

experts directly behind the eight ball Saturday after Saturday. Un-

derdogs knocking off the logical winners became a national pastime and the season will be recorded, by sportswriters at least, as “The Black Autumn of ’36.” Except for a few remaining encounters, the season closed with a dramatic climax as Navy torpedoed Army 7T-to-0. This was not an upset, but non-conformity persisted even oh the final day of firing when Lou Little’s Columbia Lions fought a highly favored Stanford team to a standstill and came out on top by the same margin as a result of George Furey’s 80-yard runback of the | opening kickoff for a touchdown. \ Just a Mild Upset

This miscalculation, however, was mild compared to some of the season’s earlier unexpected results leaving little Santa Clara as the nation’s only major undefeated, untied eleven. And the Broncos still

a post-season game. Dec. 12. There seemed to be no team capable of stopping Minnesota's win-

-ning streak when the season began, ||

but Northwestern turned the trick only to be beaten by twice-defeated Notre Dame. Then there were Ohio State’s big red raiders who romped over N. Y. U,, 60 to 0. Pitt's Panthers quickly = quieted that threat, and Pitt was defeated unexpectedly by little Duquesne. West Virginia Wesleyan wrecked the “Dukes” band-wagon. Fordham’s Rams went undefeated until their last game when their fighting in-tra-city rival, N. Y. U. Violets, took

| a 7-6 decision; One of the most un-

looked for results was Holy Cross being held to a 0-0 deadlock by St. Anselm's, playing its second year of collegiate football. .

Came Through Unbeaten

Two of Dixie’s major elevens, however, managed to escape the maelstrom undefeated, - although both were tied, and it is between Alabama and. Louisiana State as to who shall travel West to battle Washington in the Rose Bowl New Year's Day. Although the latter has the more impressive record, dusting off Tulane, 33 to 0, Saturday, the Crim-

because the Huskies cravé revenge for that 20-19 Bowl defeat in 1926. L. 8. U.s victory over the Green Wave gave them the Southeastern Conference title for the second consecutive year. In the Southwestern Conference Texas Christian was held to a scoreless deadlock by Southern Methodist, leaving the way clear for Arkansas to- have undisputed claim. of the championship by beating Texas next Saturday. Baylor kicked a field goal to edge out Rice, 10 to 7. - 'Nebraska’s powerful Cornhuskers swamped Oregon State, 32 to 14, in an intersectional at Portland.

McClure Victor In Paddle Meet

No great surprise in thé finals of the city table tennis tournament at the Paddle Club yesterday was the fact that Jimmy McClure walked ‘off with the title. McClure defeated Earl Coulson in the final match, by scores of 2114, 21-8, 21-16. Jim had come to the finals by battling back Ned Steele, 21-14, 21-19, and 21-18. Coulson’s semi-final match was with Lester Adams whom he set back by scores of 21-18, 21-19 and 21-16, McClure and. Steele won the doubles finals from Henry Spaulding and Lee Searcy, 21-19, 21-18,

Tiger Brings L.S. U. Grief If Staters Get Bowl Bid

Mac Says Cat Sure To Make Trip.

BY HENRY M’'LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent AUGUSTA, Ga., Nov. 30.—Is a trip to the Rose Bowl, even with money and prestige, worth taking if you have to share your compartment on the transcontinental * journey with an adult and none too agreeable Bengal tiger? . Such is ‘the question, we have learned from a source as close as Siamese twins, that is causing Louisiana State University to roll and toss in its sleep these nights while Jimmy Phelan’s Washington football team tries to decide whether L. S. U. or Alabama shall be its opponent in Pasadena on New Year’s Day. . This problem had its beginningseveral months ago when the L. 8. U. student body, under the inspirational leadership of a sophomore with a continual ringing in his ears, chipped in and purchased a gen-

uine Bengal tiger to mascot. the | ] -

The purchase price- was $750, and |

at the time the students, in view of the high price, insisted on getting a genuine one. Since then they have often wished they hadn’t been so insistent on quality and accepted one with more domestic or -housecat blood in him. For the tiger, who was christened Mike, has been a very large handful from the start. He refuses to make friends, and there Have been several occasions when, if his reach had been an inch longer, the enrollment figures .at L. 8. U. would have been roundly decreased. His grocery bill has been a con-

stant source of trouble. It costs.

more than $4 a day to feed him, a fact - which has caused critical alumni to sadly remark: “Good tackles don’t even cost as much as that.” It has been urged in . several quarters that the sophomore with the ringing ears who conceived the idea of purchasing Mike be used as food, but it seems the lad’s family has connections and might call in the S.

made a game effort to get rid of Mike when the game with Auburn came up this fall. As both the L. 8S. U. and Auburn teams are known as Tigers! - Coach Moore made the suggestion that Mike be considered as a sort of trophy, like the little Brown Jug, and that he go to the winner. , Having a mind of its own, as well as a very good. football team, and fearful lest it win Mike, Auburn accepted Moore's suggestion on- the provision that permanent possession of Mike come only after a team had won three‘legs on him. Moore, with two of his best men out with injuries, argued. that one

‘leg on & Tiger was enough, and that

the winner of the game should have Mike until he died or ate up all the students of the school to which he belonged and became a free agent, Mike Suvre Starter Auburn finally yielded, and they do say that when L. 8. U's third touchdown was scored to clinch the game 19 toi6, ohly the presence of calm heads prevented Moore from Mrs. Martin Johnson. If L. S. U. is named for the Rose

Bowl Mike will make the trip. He'll

have to, for all of Baton Rouge will travel to California, and if left behind might destroy. the city in the absence of the citizens. As presentday trains do not have accommodations for Bengal tigers, Mike, if the team is invited, will have to make the journey in a compartment or upper berth. And that presages trouble.

football interest turned to the East

today to anticipate whether the Western - Champion Green Bay Packers of the National League will meet the Boston Red Skins or the New York Giants in the championship playoff. The Packers clinched their division title with a 26-to-17 victory over last year’s champion Detroit Lions while the Chicago Bears were losing-to their intra-city rivals, the Cardinals. Boston took the leadership of the. Eastern group from Pittsburgh by gooseegging the Pirates, 30 to 0, but the Giants can win the division championship with a victory over the Red Skins next Sunday. Last hope of the Bears to beat out the Packers was killed when they fell before the Cardinals, 14 to 7. The Packers have 10 wins against one loss and the Bears have nine victories against three defeats. Green Bay has only one more game to. play—against the Cards next Sunday. In the only other national game, Brooklyn's Dodgers turned in their third win of the year, 13 to 7, over the Philadelphia Eagles. No American League games were played.

Ye Expect Siebert Back

The Indianapolis managem: feels confident that Dick Siebert, ac first sacker, will be returned next year. He was drafted by the Chicago Cubs, but the Bruins now have Jim (Rip) Collins, seasoned pastimer, from the Cardinals, to hold ‘down the initial sack and for that reason Siebert may become Indianapolis property again if the Cubs choose to listen to the Hoosiers’ appeal. Other 1936 Tribesters lost are Pitchers Bob Logan and Paul Trout to Detroit; Pitcher Jim Turner to the Boston Bees, and Outfielder Buddy Bates, recalled by the Tigers. Therefore, the Indians-hope to swing several deals at Montreal, and failing there, the Tribe bosses intend to visit the major league powwow in New York to continue efforts to obtain replacements. In addition to the Indians’ executives, other. Indianapolis -basebéll notables en route to Montreal are Owen Bush, manager of the Minneapolis Millers, and Barney (Mike) Kelly, manager of the Syracuse Internationals. +
