High Quintets Set Hot Pace

Fifth in Row for Emerson, Seventh for Central of ‘South Bend.

— | By United Press ; Several teams in the top half of Hoosierdom are stealing the basketball thunder, but cast a curious . glance at two in the Northern Indiana Conference. They don’t steal it. They give it away. They're Emerson of Gary in the Western division and South Bend Central in the Eastern. Both added to overstuffed victory strings list night. be | The Norsemen rowed to their fifth straight triumph over Hammond ‘Tech, 22 to 17, but it required a last‘minute spurt to overcome a lead ‘held by the Tigers almost the entire

game. | Behind 12 to 7 starting the final period, the Emerson guards started hitting long shots and pulled ahead ‘with a minute to play. Jay Swan

added a field goal and Pete Fogo a;

free toss to clinch the victory. | Central’s Bears charged to their ‘seventh win, toppling Columbus on ‘the Southern team’s court, 33 to 25. They led at the half, 26 to 9. It was all the proof needed for Coach Johnny Wooden to know he has a ‘bell-ringer this season.

Two Deep on T.C.U.Team

Horned Frogs May Surprise

Carnegie Tech With Reserve Power.

By RICHARD M. MOREHEAD ‘United Press Staff Correspondent

PT. WORTH, Tex., Dec. 23.—You have heard of Davey O’Brien and Ki Aldrich, but what most people, including the Carnegie Tech football players, don’t know, is that stars are two deep on the Texas Chris-

. | tian football team. ; :

Don’t be surprised if some comparatively unknown player.emerges as a hero yhen T. C. U. and Carne-

|gie Tech meet in the New Orleans Sugar Bowl game.

The light of publicity that has been thrown on O’Brien, Aldrich and I. B. Hale, the tackle, has blinded most people to the reserve strength that Coach Dutch Meyer into the Sugar Bowl game. :

There is, for instance, the case of Jack Odle, 180-pound sophomore, who is quite a passer, too. His percentage for the season on com-

{| pleted passes is .464, which means

that he is almost an even money bet to complete a pass every time he throws the ball. His punts have averaged 41%; yards. v Aldrich’s substitute is ‘Clarence Alexander, who beside being an efficient center is a dependable place kicker.

Clark Is a Coach’s Dream

. Down in this part of the country. the name of Earl Clark, regular halfback, is well known, but he, too, has been overshadowed by O’Brien. He is a coach’s dream of a football player—the best blocker in this section. And he can carry the mail when they call on him to do so.

4 |Clark has caught six touchdown

passes and averaged 6.66 yards every. time he has carried the ball. In case anything should happen to Connie Sparks, regular fullback who has scored 60 points this season, two men are ready to step in and take his place. They are Ward Wilson, a fine punter, and Lacy McClanahan, a power runner. Don Looney and Durwood Horner are the regular ends; but five others—Paul Snow, Charles Williams, Russell Hensch, Bob Jordan and Melvin Ehlers—are available. No matter which two of them are playing end, T. C. U. is assured of having a fine pair of pass receivers.

A spot bowler, in my opinion, is one who fixes a certain spot on the alley, and seeks to continually break the ball ‘over it to be in the onethree pocket. The spot may be a dark or light board in the drive. I recommend aiming for the onethree pocket. : I agree with Otto Stein, the match game champion of 1934, that

If he aims for the pockzt, he au-

Many bowlers, who ar: spotters on their first ball, look a; the pins on the spares, probably beicause the target is smaller, and recjuires different placing of the ball.’ If such is the case, it fcllows that watching the pins on the first ball gives the bowler more acciiracy than
