FIVE BASKETEERS WIN GAME

The famous Chicago .Big Five, the beet basketball tee.m that has Been seen on a local floor In many yearn, last night defeated the Hammond Colonials, 33 to 2. before a capacity crowd at the Lafayette school gym. Two hundred fan were turned away and It Is planned by Irving Chayken. manager of the Colonials, to play a re

turn game in the auditorium of the . Masonic Temple.

It was the llrst defeat for the. home team but there was glory In it for Hammond. Fighting every second of the time the Colonials wero dangerous until the lost moment of play and were always within winning- distance. In the opinion of many old time players and fans It was the greaiett cage game ever played In Hammond. The visitors were first to score. Marquard taking: the ball down the floor and making a pretty distance shot. A technical foul on the Hammond team added another point for Chicago. She4ton and Thompson started the scoring for Hammond with a basket each. Johnston, Marquard ar.d Watson of the Chicago Big Five repeatedly made senaatlona.1 shots and Marquard threw the longest basket made on a Hammond floor this year. The score at th enl of the first halt was 17 to 13 in favor of the visitors. The Chicago Big Five started with a rush in the seootul half, scoring nines points in the first five minute of play. Then Hammond opened up and caged the ball four time. The Big Five began stalling for time, passing the bell back and forth between the rear guards and trying to keep it out of danger. Hammond fought desperately and there was more basketball on the floor the last few minutes tlian there had been all s-easrm . Hunt and Scott, Hammond guards deserve th distinguished service cross for their work throughout the game They way in which. tMy battled beneath their opponents basket kept the Big Five from having twice the score !t got. When the Big Five got under th basket they never made it. Hunt and Scott invariably broke up their plays. Johnston led the scoring for the visitors, making fifteen points, and Waton also played a star game. The Big Five are all polished basketball jlsyer-s, working like a machine and always know whre to And the other

RED CROWNS READY FOR THE COLONIALS

HERE'S THE DOPE O.V THE KAMrnond Colonial-Whiting- Red Crown besketball championship series. Fk-st game to be played at Whiting. Thursday, March 2nd. Plac?, Community Gym. Time. 8:15 o'clock. At stake. Northern Indiana, basketball cr.ampions.hip. Keferee, Roy QucnL Chicago. Admission. tOo plus war tax . k Lake county, in fact northern Indiana, will turn a watchful eye to Whiting on next Thursday evening- when that city's formidable basketball team will hook up with Himmond'i pride quintette, the Gclontala. There Is no doubt but what Whiting- Is confident of retaining her laurels, ' vii: the .Northern Indian Basketball championship, and she -has a perfect rljjht to ba confident, for there has never bjcn a time in the history of basketball in this region that any te-am within the limits of Northern Indiana has ever humbled the OU. City's quintette-. Their reputation in basketball is not local. They are considered as one of the five ranking teams of the central states, namely B4oIt Falriee, Chicago Big Five, Milwaukee Bright Bpote, South Bend "T", and Whiting Red Crowns. To be V lacyl la a class with the above teams means a whole lot, especially to Whiting whose limited population places a .evere handicap on producing a winning team. Their record is remarkable. In the past two years they have played a total of 46 games In which they were defeated but seven times, and the fact that half of these games were played away from Whiting make this record still more remarkable. Hammond will not catch her nap

ping In these games a reputation means a lot in basketball, and Whiting will go the limit to keep her's unmanned. The 'led Crowns are a more evenly balanced five than the Colonials and their play is centered around no particular player. If it is necessary to remove a man from the game, they can substitute another from the bcnoh without slowing the team up in the lea-st. However one may expect that the strongest possible lin-up will be usi"d against Hammond. It has always been my wonder, why the Crowns have not ustd Watson st center Inetead of Mastney. He is a much bigger man, faster and. has a better eye for the basket. This w-uld still give them the best guarding- combination of any team that we have seen in action this year, the Big Five included. Stock la, I believe, the best back guard of any team in the region. He is fast, heary and full of "pep." He Is a tireless worker and is at his best when the game Is close and hard fought. He can stand the roughest treatment at the hands of his opp nnts something that he has demonstrated in the games this 5'car-of which he has not missed playing a -nc, unless it were that he was taken out to give another man a chance to break in. Another fact which cannot be overlooked is that he hau the ability to pick the ball off the backboard and take it down the floor. He has an average of 3 baskets a game this year, something unheard of from a backguaTd. Knowls who will probably b working: opposislte Stock at the lther guard position, Is like a. streak over the floor. As a fan In one of tVie recent ciran remarked. "If ycu want to locate Knowles. look for the ball, he'll be there. " His knack of getting down the floor surprises many, he la an adept at breaking up th opponents team play, and his ability to get the

Bennie Leonard, kingpin of the light weights, will be seen in action against a worthy opponent on July 4 at Benton Harbor, Mich., where Floyd Fitzsimmons has an open air arena capable of seating 18.000 people. This was the substance of a meeting between Leonard, his manager, Billy Gibson, and Promoter Fitzsimmons. The champion and his perty spent about an hour between trains in Chicago and left at 12.40 p. m. for New York where Manager Gibson expects to close pending contracts. Leonard is on his way home from

I New Orleans, where he won from Pal

Moore in ten rounds last Saturday night. It was an expensive i-iotory, however, as the champion injured his right hand and may not be able to box again for two weeks. Benny asserted he hurt the hand in the first, round by hitting Moran on the elbow. Just who Leonard's opponent In Benton Harbor will be Is not known. If Charlie White is not signed to meet the champion in Madison Square Garden, the local lightweight may get the Benton Harbor match.

ball Is a big factor in the enemy's own team work. The Beloit papers in commenting on the work of the Bed Crowns in their first game at Beloit which they won 42 to 20, laid particular stress upon the well balanced team and its remarkable speed. Then too, there is Griesel who has been alternating at center and forward throughout the year. Gus is a hard worker and tireless; his heart goes into the game, and he docs not quit until It Is over. He has been responsible for the majority of the points scored this year. With Fotter, Thurson. Mastney and Krzenky. the Whiting team when it Is going at its best and has an even break in the luck, need have no fear for the best in the country. It is in such a team as this that Whiting places her confidence and rests easy because she feels that they will come through, as they have in the past. Tomorrow we will make an analysis of the Hammond teams, and probably dope the game, In such a way, well, we are all going to see them anyhow, no matter which way the wind blows.

Prediction that Intercollegiate football would be wiped out within the next few years unless the gamtJ was purged clean of professionalism and unfair tactics was made last night by President Lotus D. C'oftman of Minnesota university in an address before Chicago alumni. "College athletics are on trial," declared Mr. Coffman. "The attention

of fair minded men was attracted to college football when recent troubles turned the spotlight on Notre Dame, Purdue, Illinois and several other uni

versities.

given to Valpo as they fought hard

and deserved to win.

Eborle opened the gamr with one of

the most difficult shots on the floor, but was followed close In quick ses

sion by Lawrence and Gannon. It did not keep long for Valpo to get a big lead, and so when the half ended the score read 14 to 7 In Valpo's favor. In the second half. All Saints' scored 8 points against Valpo's 3. With a minute to go. and the score 17to 15 against them. Eberle takes a long shot. It goes in the bssket, then rolls around the edge, then balanced itself, every one's were on the ball with aching hearts

waiting for the ball to fall through

the whistle blew. If the ball would

only fall through the score would be a

tie. But a-" luck would have it ttve ban fell out. the greatest game of the sea
