WHO SAID “IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE”? Football Saturday—Notre Dame vs. So. California. Basketball : ‘Saturday—Notre Dame vs. Kalamazoo. T’s really very embarrassing, this having an Indiana school allowing football to slip over info the sacred confines of basketball. But leave it to the high schools to make up for everything. Most of the schools started thinking about basketball

as soon as summer plowing was over. And when the pump-|

kins and squash got big enough, basketball practice began.

A fellow up at Marion told me that they're getting. upset around those parts because neither Marion High, nor St. Paul’s High, nor the only college in the county, Taylor, has won a ball game yet. Well, if I had to pick the one 1 thought would win first I believe it would be Marion.

USED to run down to Vincennes once in a while, for several reasons (one of them was to listen to Pug Welsh’s band), and the main thing I remember is the way the Washington and Vincennes High School pupils fail to care much for each other. 1 mean in a basketball way. Well, the two teams play tomorrow night and I'd just as soon be here in Indianapolis so far as safety is concerned. To make matters more complicated, the coach at Washington is Wendel Walker, a former protege of Vincennes’ Coach John L. Adams. The Hatchets have won twice in three starts, while the Alices have lost both their games.

Another couple of coaches scheduled to glare at each other Saturday night are Butch Neuman of Lebanon and Abie Masters of Jeff of Lafayette. Both ¢laim great things for the Piggy Lambert style of ball and they usually try their most elaborate demonstrations against each other. ; I suppose they feel that if a basketball system is going to work it certainly should work best against itself. » » 8 8 » »

“THE best things in life are free— (throws). That’s the slogan up around Logansport nowadays. Coach Wells’ boys missed seven out of eight the other night against Jeffersonville and they don’t want to duplicate that when they tipoff with Marion tomorrow night in the Berry Bowl at Logansport. Last year the Logan-boys pranced into the Marion gym and took a 25 to 18 drubbing at the hands of Orville Hooker’s men. The Marion quinfet had put out some fairly good “bear stories” and somebody swallowed it “Hooker”, line

The La Junta (Colo.) star, after agreeing to meet any opponent named, will pit his skill a t Sol (Rubber Ball) Slagel, the “Topeka Terror,” in the feature bout on the Hercules A. C. mat bill. Slagel, who reports his weight at 255, demonstrated his power and brute strength at the Armory earlier

including victories over Joe Savoldi, Karl (Doc) Sarpolis, Andy Rascher, Otto Kuss, Frank Speer and Milo Steinborn. He broke one of Kuss’ ankles in a tug six weeks ago in San Antonio, Tex. and Otto was on crutches for three weeks. Marshall, now at the peak of his career, is recognized in some quarters as title holder.. Indiana rates Dean Detton “tops,” hence the Sla-gel-Marshall battle is not being advertised as a championship affair.

Killefer Expect

BY EDDIE ASH 4 Times Sports Editor | MONTREAL, Quebec, Dec. 3.— Elated over his success in | Shortstop Frank (Salty) Parker from Detroit late last night, Manager Wade Killifer of the swung into another round of negotiations at the minor league convention today with his pla directéd toward bolstering o departments of the team. i Otto Bluege, Tribe regular shortfielder for the last two seasons, will be ‘disposed of in a deal that is expected to bring an outfielder to the Hoosiers. Parker batted 296 for Toledo last summer before the Tigers recalled him in midseason and he looked the part of an experienced pastimer in the field. He saw only brief service with Detroit, batting ».280 in 11 games. He played 106 games with the Mud Hens. Parker is a sturdy athlete and is no soft touch for the pitchers. © Logan on Trial

The new shorts! comes to the Indians in the deal for Paul Trout and Bob Logsh and one more player is to be send to the Tribe by the Bengals to complete the tramsaction. Pitcher Clarence Phillips, right-hander, represented the first payment. Killefer has requested Mickey Cochrane to deliver a southpaw hurler to close the books. And in addition to that there - is the strong possibility that Lefty Bob Logan will retwrn. Trout was sold outright to the Bengals, but Logan is going there on trial. Pitcher Roxie Lawson, right-hander, sought by the Tribe, .is to be retained by Detroit, it is reported. Killefer planned to stalk the headquarters of the Dodgers, Reds, Cubs and Browns today in an effort to come up with something capable of meeting the American Association standard of play.

Open at Home

According to an agreement reached by American Association club owners late yesterday, the Indians are to open at home on April 16 with either Toledo or Columbus, instead of lifting the curtain on the road at Louisville. Other A. A. openers will be at Louisville, Milwaukee and Kansas City. The hunch points to the Mudhens as the Tribe's 6pponent in the opener. The campaign will close Sept. 12. The A. A. magnates spent more than three hours in session before a schedule was approved -officially. Another meeting was scheduled late today to discuss the postSeason play-offs and league salary

Tribe executives are combing the field of the “little minors” searching for a class B club to sponsor and use as a farm for promising rookies. Other A. A. clubs are expected to follow suit, but it is not compulsory.
