I STATE Hez Clark Says Friars, Villagers, Wabash and Clabbys Forged Out in New' Class This Year Other ! Teams in Indiana Trailed. ! BY HEZE C'XiAKIC. j Football among independent teams j thl season has enjoyed a healthy growth ana the size of the crow,!? and j gate receipts have boon larger th:inj ever before. Many cities were represented on the! gridiron by strong teams, but four cities developed elevens no much stronger than the others thai football became includes Pine Village, the Friar club I of Fort "Wayne, "Wabash A. C. and the j Clabhy Athletic club of Hammond. The better teams of the other class era the Maxwells of Newcastle, Hemys of Anderson, Sheridan A. A. of Sheridan, Greenfield, Cumberland. Elwood. the Congerville Flyers of Muncie, the Avondales of Muncie, the West Ends of Fort "Wayne, the Capital Cities of Indianapolis, the Belmont A. C. of Indianapolis, the Southeastern? of Indianapolis and the Shelhyville team. Of this list the records show the Maxwells probably were the best. The Capital Cities lost only one game, and that "by a one-sided score to the powerful Pine Village eleven. Sheridan A. C. did not complete Its season. If It had It is possible that Singleton, a halfback, and Herdick. a tackle, might be considered Jn the selection of all-state men. Sheridan lost to the Clabby A. C. of Hammond, 20 to 0. In selecting an all-state independent team there are no players on any teams utside of the "Big Four" who can be considered on either first or second teams. There are a number of players nuch as Ruddles and Metzger of the Capital Cities who deserve much credit, and the same is true about other playNOTHINCr IS Too GOOD FOR 1MY FOLKS! who A-re. well -"br Ave -j-oKs vKo Mso 202 Fayette St., Hammond.

Hammond's second team will play tonight prior to the first team game. The second team has a string of clever although not so fast fast players.

Another ETUI OF HIGH IS OPPOSED T l'nn ff HblCaP'O. SaVS icau - O"', " it Would Mean More Bitterness and Scorn Among the Students of Both Big Institutions. The old belief at Ann Arbor that Chicago men had horns and a tail is dying out. Put jjst as surely as Michigan comes back into the conference that belief will revive under competition, and the memory of a. famous touchdown will have to be substituted for the chance to do good to a good man. This is the way it seems to this editor, and he hopes, therefore, that Michigan will live long and and pr per, ana iick x rmiat i stay out or me coniei em c. -In these words Dean James Weber I.inn concludes an editorial in the January issue of the University of Chicago Alumni Magazine, which circulated on the Midway campus yesterday. Dean Dinn places himself as definitely opposed to Michigan's ro" i entry into tne conierence nrv-au.-c ... the danger inherent in such a move for causing a great deal of bitterness and bad feeling among the under-sradu-ates of the two institutions. Hit term-ns And Scorn. Professor Linn feels that there is already far too much misundertanding and stigma attached by undergraduates of a conference college to the undergraduates of other big nine . l , T j Sehools. He believes that such "bitteiness and scorn" ere ridiculous ana evil, but always connected with intercollegiate athletic competition. Tn light of this, he thinks that Michigan's reappearance on the Western athletic field, would mean only a sad reopening of a costly and dangerous wound. Ni:V YORK. Jan. 6. John Reisler ("John the Barber") probably has paved the way for staging Les Darcy's first bout. His offer of $30,000 to the Australian to take on Billy Mlske or Charley Weinert looks so good to Darcy that, on the advice of Tex Rickard. Les probably will accept it.

4 M KJ i CUBBY DEFEATE LES DARCY "Just a short time ago Jimmy Clabby an American boxer who was all but through with the game, was matched to meet Darcy, -and he won about eighteen of the twenty rounds," says Don McElwaine in the Indiana Times. No, the referee did not give Clabby the decision. He couldn't for fear the followers of the Australian pug would tear the building down. They did burn it up once before when the referee gave a dci: ion to an American boxer. "Clabby was not even going good when he defeated Darcy. Fred Kaye, a preliminary fighter, defeated Clabby, and then C abby turned around and gave the Australian a terrific lacing. Then there is Gus Christie, the Indianapolis middleweight. He also gave Darcy a terrific beating in twenty rounds. Christie was rot near as good as he now is. but nevertheless the Australian newspapers gave him the best of seventeen rounds of the fight.

Is. according to the press, was all but out, but the referee claimed a foul and what he says goes as far as the decision is concerned. "There are at least six American boxers who can get a decision over Darcy, and Jack Dillon, the "Hoosier j Mankiller,' heads the list. The others are Billy Miske, Gus Christie, Jack 1 McOarron, JJike Gibbons and Battling Levinsky." "Another thing that I can't undortand." Saylor continued, "is why the public is howling for Georges Carpentier. In these peaceful United Stales if a boxer is out of the game for a couple of years the press says he can t ' come beck or they say that thera is hardly a chance that he will be the same because; lie has been out of the game for a while. Carpcntier has been fighting but not with the padded mitts for the last three years, but still the public believes he will be able to step in the ring and whip all comers. In the first place, he never has defeated any really good men. and. in the second, the chances are he would not be in the best of condition, not even if lie
