Indiana University's Athletic Board Refuses Entrance to Two Star Men for Having Participated in Pine Village Game.

One Hammond boy whose loyalty to his home town was greater than even love of alma mater has. been heavily penalized because he played football with the Claibby eleven at IaXayette on December 10. against the famous Pine Village eleven. And Archie Krehart, also of Indiana University Mho played with Fine Village against Hammond has also been stamped professional. A sensation' was caused at Indiana Vniversity yesterday when the athletic board refused to grant I's to Archie Erehart, right halfback, and Walter Hess, quarterback. both of Hammond,' because of professionalism after they had played in a game at Lafayette December 10 between Pine Village and the Hammond Clabbys. By classing the two splendid football players as professionals, Indiana University has ended their collegiate athletic careers unless they can be reinstated which is very doubtful. Their conference standing is taken from them, though they have only done what many others on conference nines and elevens have done. Neither Hess nor Krehart had made any attempt to disguise the fact, as they might have done, that they were playing with the independent teams. The jealous eyes of some Purdue men, at the Fine, Village gamt picked out Hess and Krehart as Indiana University men and reported the fact to the Indiana University athletic board. It is too bad that the future athletic careers of these two brilliant players has been marred by the charges of professionalism brought against them.

GLABBYS SUGGESS ASTONISHING SAYS LAFAYETTE PAPER

Johnnie Fitzsimmons, sporting editor of the Lafayette Journal, makes the following editorial comment on Hammond's first professional football teuim: "Hammond, the lively sport town in the northern part of the state, is football mad, Jimmy Clabby, star- fight performer, put it on the sport map, then they organize a football eleven, christen it the Clabby Athletic association, and get more advertising. The Hammond team made a fair showing this year on the gridiron, but considering all things their feats were astonishing, as most of the players were Lake county products. 'They started the season at Hammond with no assurance of success. Professional football was a new game in the town at least big grid games but the players, under the able direction of Frank Blocker, former Purdue star, and Forrest Morrow, a local lad, made it a success. They pooled the money they received In their respective encounters, and this week they will divide the coin. The mighty Blocker receives the same amount as the lowest bench warmer hardly seems fair and does not compare favorably with the fat salary received by King, of Harvard, who frolicked with the "millionaire eleven" of Claire Rhode. But the Hammond fellows wanted to start something and they convinced the sport fans of Hammond that football was worth, first two

bits, then four bits, and finally the fans stood the dollar a throw entrance fee - and next year they are preparing for a very successful season." .

SPORTING COMMENT THE Hammond High School faculty basketball five will make a second endeavor Thursday afternoon at the Community Gymnasium to defeat the regular school team which won the iirst match between the teachers and pupils, 20 to 16, Mr. Kenney, professor of mathematics, has applied (the science of geometry on the game and reports it can not he done while Principal McKJroy aclaima that for the youngsters to win this contest Is contrary to the principals of sociology. Prof. Maiej the artist of the faculty, has shown it a very simple matter by a drawing in crayon, sketching the mode of victory. But the oriental ease and European luxury of a high school teacher's life is & high hurdle for the faculty to leap. PINS In the bowling alleys about the county will fall fast and often during the next two weeks, especially between Christmas and New Tears. Bowlers will steal sufficient time from their Christmas shopping in Hammond to knock off two sets of games in the league run at the Perrin & Summers alleys .tomorrow evening when the Ia!y Brothers bowl the Gassmana and the Hoffman Cleaners meet the Bankers. The M. & M. team overtook and tied the More-loins for the lead in the league last evening by copping two of three games. The Perrin & Summers won two of three from the McCools. THE All-Star bowlers from Crown Point failed to show up to meet the Hammond All-Stars Monday evening. Hammond won against them at the Hub last week and was anxious for the return match. Very probably the inclement wreather kept Crown Point at home. Or, perhaps, the Erie was later than ysual and the Hub players are still en route. XOW that Erehart has been denied his "I" at Indiana University and charged with professionalism, another candidate, for the Clabby A. C. team of 1917 is in the market. Those who are of the opinion that an athlete in coljege has as much right to play for" pay after -the school season as a student of violin has to fiddle in a hired orchestra or an art pupil to take coin of the realm for his or her work without being barred from scholastic competition, will feel it unjust that Erehart and Hess have been denied the letters they earned. Had it not been for Erehart and Hess "Indiana's foottball team would have been a sad Joke indeed this season. We' .hope o see them both playing under the Hammond colors next fall for they are splendid athletes and fine fellows. It will not be necessary then to give praise to "Ford" that belongs to Hess. 1RAXK BLOCKER iff the greatest football player that the Hammond high school ever produced. Yet when he played a tackle on the high school team for four years, from "06 to '10, Taylor, Hunter, Murray, Kennedy and Graves were the stars and Blocker known just as a hard-working fellow. Blocker revolutionized, the game and got nothing but' scoldings for doing it. When he was persuaded to show up

for football practice as a freshman because he was inclined to be husky and linemen were needed. Frank . declined to "get down" in the line. He wanted to stand back and watch where the ball was going. He persisted in this practice and created the great "defensive" tackle that few have ever imitated with any degree of sucess. Blocker is an All-American tackle, beyond doubt, and a great center.

El 'BOUT Westerners Battle Through Ten Very Fast Rounds in a New York Prize Ring Both Men Are Badly Punished.

NEW YORK, Bee. 20. Jacft Dillon of Indianapolis and Billy Mlske of. St. Paul boxed a rattling ten-round draw at the Broadway Sporting Club in Brooklyn -last niglit. From start to finish the affair was

a toe-to-toe slugging match. In the

third round Miske rained blows on Dillon and forced him to the ropes. It looked for a while as though Dillon was in bad shape. He weathered the storm, however. In , the seventh he evened matters up by punishing lllske severely, and had the latter hanging on. With the exception of these two rounds it was practically an even affair. The three last rounds were extremely fast. The men stood in the center of the ring and exchanged blow

for blow.
