HAMMOND A WINNER

The Hammond High school, baske. ball five did a neat come back stunt Saturday night when they adminlsterei a stunning blow to the Blue Island High school quintet by defeating them by a one-sided score of 34 to 8. The Hammond High School five displayed the best of form and put up a fast clever game of basket ball. They commenced the first half with a fighting spirit and the game belonged to them from start to finish. Blue Island played a hard game but they seemed unable to connect with the basket and their peggers missed a' number of easy throws. Still determined to win they fought until ths whistle blew but were unable to chalk up more than eight points. Johnston again played a star game for Hammond, his contribution towards victory being 16 points. He was In the game at all times and some of his peg ging was of a sensational variety. Spilth, Hammond's other star forward played an exceptionally good game, Jn fact all the team were there every minute in the game and their names are worthy of mention. So far this season, the Hammond High school five have been handlcaped by the absence of a regular player -each game and now that each man' is able to play they hope to bring up their record. Hard practice work will be put In this week, preparatory for their game with Fast Chicago Friday night of this week. The following line up was used: Johnston, Smith, forwards; ,Van Gilder, center; Crumpacker and Taylor, guards.

NEW FOOTBALL

New System of Defense Must Be Developed Is The Opinion of Expert -

The radical changes in football, announced at the conclusion of the" rules committee meeting in 'New York on Saturday, came as a complete surprise to followers of the gridiron sport. Although the game as played last season was far from satisfactory and was severely criticised by eastern coaches, changes that make the pastime an entirely different one were not anticipated. The new changes are the most radical made since the introduction of the forward pass in 1906. In the revision of the rules four astonishing changes were made, which will permit the development of- offensive play to a degree never before seen, and which will consequently necessitate a change in the defensive play to meet the combination of mass and deceptive formations that will be developed under the new code. Probably the most radical modiflca-' tion is the increasing of the number of downs, in which to gain ten yards, from three to four. The reason for this was a result of a demand by 'eastern coaches that a means be found whereby the offense balanced the de fense. The demand was warranted as it was generally conceded that the reason for the many tie games and low scores last year was that the ten yards in three downs handicapped the offensive team. Juwt what wlllbe the result of this change it is. perhaps, a little early to predict, but it must be admitted that there Is a strong likelihood that many coaches will revert to the old style of mass, and pounding formations. Never since the Introduction of the open gamo have aft coaches given up the old mass formations, and many teams neglected to develop the fanciful forward pass and open plays. The Minnesota style of play is Ideal for the- new rules. The Gophers have had great succeess during the past few years without using the forward pass. Coach Williams has developed a semimass formation attack which has been adopted by leading teams throughout the country and used with surprising success. This style of play undoubtedly will be used more than any under the new code. Some effort was made to encourage GARY SEES Saturday night some lively wrestling mtches were witnessed at the Emerson ' school auditorium at Gary by many local and out-of-town people. A clean bill was presented all the way through and R. D. Netherton, who did the i matching, was complimented on his selections. . The grapplers were all sizes from 12 years of age up to 35 years, and showed remarkable skill and strength, which only comes from hard practice. The bout between Sausher and Thropple pleased every one. Sausher is a blacksmith and Thropple works for the brewing company. Sausher gave a correct Imitation of trying to handle a balky horse in the form of his oppo nent and Thropple made every one i think he was lifting a keg at Budwelser off a wagon and trying to smash it open by dropping it to the ground. Both men with hard training should wipe the mat up with Zbyszko. The matches were as follows: ' First bout between L Rhoades, 69 pounds, and B. Sales, 66 pounds, wrestled first five minutes no fall; second bout five minutes no fall; awarded to sales on points. First bout between R. ravison. 79 pounds, and J. Kyle. 80 pounds. Won by Kyle in thirty seconds; second bout won by Kyl6 in 1 minute and 20 seconds. 3. First bout between D. McCarty. 87 pounds, and R. Baily, 87 pounds. No fall in either bout. The match was awarded to Baily on points. 4. First, bout between A. Grant, 92 pounds, and B. Wagner, 95 pounds. Won by Grant in 45 seconds. 5. First bout between S. Szabo, 76 pounds, and J. Kyle, 80 pounds. No fall but was awarded to Kyle. Second bout won by Kyle in four minutes. 6. First bout between B. Zold, 89 pounds, and R. Baily, 87 pounds. These two grapplers wrestled two bouts, neither getting a fall, but both bouts were awarded to Zold on points., 7. First bout between A. Grant, '9? pounds, and R. Krnstraw, 93 pounds. Won by Grant In 1 minute and 5 seconds. Second bout, no fall, awarded to Grant on points. 8. First Bout between J. Naylor, 107 pounds, and Joe Gordon, 114 pounds. Won by Gordon in 3:30. Second bout won by Gordon in 2:30. . First bout between Don JIcJLtn-

WRESTLING IAICHES . i

WILL BETTER IE

the use of the forward pass by removing the twenty-yard zone restriction and by permitting the pass to be made across the goal line, a play which heretofore would have been called a. touchback. The removal o.f the restrictions in the twenty-yard 20ne will probably have little effect in the way of encouraging its use, as during the years 1906-0T-W5 there were no such restrictions, and the forward pass was seldom attempted. Permitting the pass to be made across the goal line was one of . the best changes made. This will enable the teams- to score more easily when close to the goal line. During the past few years teams have on innumerable occasions beenheld on the two or three yard line because there was no chance to open up the secondary defense, which would mass up behind the line, making it almost Impossible for the attacking team to crash through. The new rule will compel the defensive team to play three men at least five yards behind the scrimmage line, which will make it much simpler for attacking 'side to cross the tally line. The onside kick has been eliminated, and in so doing the committee has taken away, from the gam" one of the prettiest features and also one of the strongest weapons of the attacking side. However, the elimination of this rule will tend to decrease the number of injuries, as the onside kick was one of the most dangerous plays in the game and its removal Is probably Justifiable for that reason alone. Several minor changes were made which will help to better the game. The removal of the twenty-yard zone made it possible to remove the field Judge, and this will be met with favor by players and coaches, as the sport was hampered last year by too many officials. The scoring system was altered, and wisely, too, by increasing the value of a touchdown from five to six points, the object being to make a touchdown equal to two field goals. Heretofore too much of a premium was placed on the ability of a kicker, thus making It possible for many one-man victories. A touchdown and a goal in the future will beat two field goals, ? to 6. ' .,' ' nan, 105 pounds, and J. Levi, 104 pounds. Won by McLennan in 4:40. Second bout won by McLennan in 3:50. 10. First bout between J. Gordon, 114 pounds, and -D. McLennan. 105 pounds. Won by McLennan on points. McLennan stowed Gordon in,, the second tussle in 1:20. 11. First bout between Stanat, 130 pounds, and R. Forsythe, 144 pounds. No fall and no decision was given. 12. First bout -between I. Stanak, 130 pounds, and Charles Gorek. 129 pounds. Won by Gorek in 1:30. Second bout no fall and no decision was rendered. 13. First bout between R.

Won by Schopple in 2:30. Second bout won by Schopple in 5:30. 15. The third bout between Stanat and Gorek was won by Stanat in 714 minutes. This bout was to a finish. 16. Stanat again wrestled with Gorek to a finish, Stanat winning In 4:30. This was their first bout., 17. First bout between Hart, 192 pounds, and Schopple, 189 pounds, was won by Hart in 3:80. Also the second won by Hart in 5:10". ' 18. First bout, Gorek and Polk, won by Polk in one minute. The bouts between Kyle and Davison and Zabo and Kyle were exceedingly interesting, Kyle coming out vict"br and showing . excellent science and strength. ' COULOri RULES BANTAM KING Decisive Victory Over Conley Stamps His As Leader. The decisive victory of Johnny Coulon over Frankie Conley yi their twenty-round bout at Vernon, Cal., on Saturday easily stamps him as the king of the bantams. It was Coulon's first long fight in over a year, and the masterly way he went through the contest against one of the toughest little fellows in the game shows plainly he is to reign supreme in his class for some time. Coulon's quick victory over Harry Forbes in three rounds and his long mill with Conley, both of which came within two weeks, sliow the little fellow has no fear of any of them if they will make his weight. Johnny gave away pounds to Conley, the same as he did to Forbes. ' : . " The littifi champion is expected home

The Hammond basketball five went down to defeat in Chicago Saturday ight, when they went up against the fast. Hull House five and literally speaking were swamped by a decisive score of 40 to 12. ,The game was fast and from the start of the game the Hull House five took Hammond oft their feet. They helped themselves to a majority of the points before Hammond had a look-in and displayed some beautiful teamwork. They also took advantage of the fact that- the referee refused to see many fouls and In a dispute one of the Hammond and Chicago players were forced to leave the game. This Is Hammond's first defeat of the season and are in hopes that another game can be arranged with the Hull Hduse five later In the season. HO! BEATS BLUE ISLAND FIVE (BY SPIKE.)
