Nothing Could Be AnyFairer Than This Pick

(Special to The Timb.) WinTIxa. IND., Dec. 23. In a fast and exciting game the Whitins Owls basketball team defeated the quintet from Hope College. For the first ten minutes of play neither team had an advantage 'but slowly- the Owls began io creep rway from the visitors and

"Chick" Harley Surely Has a Bright Future

"Chick" Harley, the OMo State halfback, so the experts of the game admit, la one of the greatest j football players the west has ever turned out. They give him credit for Ohio State's fent of capturing the

Western Conference championship. Harley showed them that he is there foinff and coming'. What will he do in 1917 and 1918? Karley Is Just fresh from the high school ranks. After a couple of seasons of college gaff he ought to be the greVtest football player of all time. We can't imagine him going back.

They say Walter Camp, Sr., dean of the football -critics, is going to find It hard to pick his All. American backneld this season. The college ranks both in the east and west are flooded with sensational performers. But why hurry, Walt? What would be fairer than to give the halfback positions to Karley, who won the Big Nine title for Ohio State, and Pollard, the colored star who trimmed both Harvard and Yale for Brown? In this way the east and

west get an even split.

once in the le-ad were never headed. A large crowd attended the game which well deserved It. Spring-gate's -work at guard was the talk of the evening. Always a tireless worker, he played a wonderful game. Girard's work in passing and basket .shooting ca-lted forth the cheers and admiration of the fans. Girard was injured in the early part of the second half and Kinzel who took his. place negotiated live nice ringers. In a preliminary -the Polarines defeated the Seward Park Cavaliers by a score of 31. to 13. The work of the Xaef boys featured this contest. Christmas evening the Owls are scheduled to play the Hamlin Triangles and the Polarines will play the Hamlin Clippers. Both, of these games will be held at the "Whiting high school auditorium. The Hamlin Triangles are one of the best teajns in the city of Chicago and are going great this season. For the past two years the Owls have won from the Triangles but the scores have sbeen so

Larry Lajoie Selects Bender as One. of Game's Best Pitchers. National league plays say that no pitcher in that organization has ever approached Christy llathewson in the art of pitching. According to veterans ' and youngsters who have faced Matty, he was a past master In all the finer points in the art of twirling. His almost uncanny control of the ball enabled him to take advantage of every trick of the trade. No greater batsman ever stpeped to the 'plate than Larry Lajoie. Strangely enough during his entire career Larry never batted against Matty. Recently when asked who was the wisest pitcher he ever faced, Larry replied: "They tell me Mathewaon was a very wise pitcher, but if he had anything on Chief Bender I am glad I have never had to bat against his offerings. Bender when in his prime had a world of stuff, but even after he lost a great deal of it he was still a wonderful pitcher, because he knew every trick of the profession. Once he discovered a batter'a weakness, that batter was lucky to hit him 6afely with a shovel. Hs control was usually perfect, and under fire he was at his best. Pitchers like Bender are rare birds in baseball."
