R. JAMES A. NAISMITH, the father of basketball, never dreamed that the game he introduced while a Y. M. C. A. instructor in Springfield, Mass., back in 1891, would sweep to the heights of popularity it enjoys today. It was beyond his fondest hopes that milliens of Americans would pop basketballs through the nets in every hamlet in the land; that crowds of 18,000 would jam a hall in a single night to see the game played. But that, exactly, is just what has happened. . . . The game which started out as “healthful exercise” and employed homely peach baskets, market variety, for goals, now attracts more paid admissions through the turnstiles than any other sport on the books. From the standpoint of participation, too, there are more people competing in basketball than any other active sport. . . . The widespread scope of action is split up among colleges, high schools, junior high schools, industrial and church leagues, A. A. U. organizations, professional, amateur and community center competition. » ” # ” ” ANYONE can understand and appreciate basketball. . . . It isn’t like football, where close line play and the distance from the actual playing field often make it difficult for the inexperienced fan to follow things intelligently. . . . Baseketball, of course, is played on a smaller court; everything is out in the open, and even the least trained observer can follow the game. . .. Nor is interest in the game labeled “for men only.” . .. Many high schools sponsor varsity basketball for girls, and the brand of ball played under men’s rules by some of the star women’s industrial and A. A. U. teams is a revelation. Ned Irish’s basketball carnivals in Madison Square Garden, featuring games between college intersectional foes, have drawn as high as 18,000. » o »
EATHER can't place a damper on spectator interest because the WwW game is played indoors. . . . The price of admission usually is much lower than football and other activities. . . . And the game itself is perfect for the fans—plenty of speed, action and brilliance. The collegiate influence probably has been the biggest help of all in building up this popularity. . . . The larger schools like Stanford, California. Purdue, Indiana, Notre Dame and a few others, now take barnstorming trips, travel from coast to coast, and play before the largest indoor crowds of the winter sports season.

The Greyhounds galloped to 12 straight victories before the “13 jinx” got in its ‘work and snapped the streak. . . . However, Manchester has been doing some galloping itself and has won nine tilts in 10 starts. Central Normal with six victories and three defeats, entertains Oakland City tonight at Danville. . . . The Oaks have been held to one triumph in eight games. . . . Normal also is to see action Saturday against Eastern Illinois at Danville. . . . The Ball State at Manchester battle will be the headline attraction within the State on Saturday. » ” ”

muffs, boys. ... It's a hard winter up there.
Earlham and Franklin are dated in the Buckeye State Saturday, the Quakers at Wittenberg, the Grizzlies at Akron. . . . Both have better than fair records to date with Franklin showing seven wins in nine starts and Earlham six in eight. un n " APTAIN TRENKLE of Northwestern is practicing on free throws in his sleep. . . . He has missed 12 in 16 attempts in six games and yet his team has won five out of six. ... Young of Purdue in four games has plunked in 14 out of 20, which is dunking ‘em in big league fashion. The Big Ten's top five point leaders are Dehner, Illinois, 97 in six games; Townsend, Michigan, 61 in six; Young, Purdue, 60 in four; Andres, Indiana, 55 in five; Powell, Wisconsin, 55 in five. . ‘ Lounsbury of Chicago evidently possesses a sharp eye and probably will press the leaders as the season advances. . . . He has averaged 12 points a game in three starts, and 16 field goals are on his record.

TATISTICS reveal that fighting spirit apparently has something: to S do with Northwestern's top position in the Big Ten race. . . . The Wildcats rank eighth in offensive power and third on defense. . .. Only Minnesota and Chicago have averaged fewer markers a game than the league leaders while both Michigan and Ohio State have better defensive
records. And it’s a rough road ahead of the Wildcats. . . . The remainder of their schedule: Feb. 12, at Wisconsin; Feb. 19, Indiana at Northwestern: Feb. 21, Towa at Northwestern; Feb. 28, at Ohio State; March 5, Purdue at Northwestern; March 7, Northwestern at Michigan.

A last-minute Washington field goal which was ruled out by officials cost the local Continental a 26-to-24 defeat at Crawfordsville last night. Louie Leerkamp connected on the field geal as the gun ended a seesaw scrap, but the shot was nullified because Leerkamp had been fouled a moment before. He missed his free-throw attempt.

Tommy Henrich Is Yank Holdout
NEW YORK, Jan. 27 (U. P.).— The New York Yankees’ holdout worries increased to four today with news from Massillon, O., that Tom Henrich, hard-hitting young outfielder, was dissatisfied with his contract. Henrich, who was made a free agent by Commissioner Landis last year and received approximately $30.000 to join the world champions, added his name to those of Joe DiMaggio, Lefty Gomez and George Selkirk, all of whom returned unsigned contracts. Tommy received $7500 last year, and his 1938 contract was believed to call for a $1500 increase.

White Gets $15,000 Offer To Turn Pro
Pittsburgh Bid Believed Largest Ever Made to College Player.
PITTSBURGH, Jan. 27 (U, PJ), —A $15,000 contract today was mailed West in one last attempt to lure Byron (Whizzer) White out of the ranks of the amateurs and into the backfield of the Pittsburgh
Pirates professional football team. The sum was believed the largest ever offered a college football star for one season on professional grid irons. The contract was submitted by Art Rooney, Pirates’ owner, who started working to get White bee fore the college season passed into its Thanksgiving Day climax, Rooney’s offer then was something like $7000 for a season. Rooney thought those “15 G's" ought to make quite an impression on White despite his 1937 All= America rating, Phi Beta Kappa key and the Rhodes Scholarship White wants to utilize as soon as he completes studies at the Unie versity of Colorado. Rooney chose White at the pro fessional football new-player “pool” last fall, despite White's refusal to consider joining the professional ranks. The Pittsburgh sportsman was anxious for his $15,000 offer to “shock the Whizzer into listening to us” because he believes he needs a drawing card and scoring ace, such as Slingin’ Sammy Baugh of the Washington Redskins. Baugh worked last year for $7500 and was the highest paid profession« al in recent years. Red Grange was believed the only man to get more money than White was offered today, and that was not for a season but for a series of exhi= bition games. Grange reportedly was paid $25,000 to work jn exhibitions with the Chicago Bears.
