Hammond. Ind., March 3. Sporting Editor Times; Dear jir: After reading your recent report of tho pending Neversweat V frafdtopwt at bask.iU;U gome, 1 think it Is my duty as a staunch fan to give you h. few pointers, on the Neverswoat outfit. The management of the Neversweats accepted this game in a sportsmanlike manlier but now that the opposition ha? become brutal and declared itself out for blood, wo have decided to show' no mercy when the whistle blows for the opening to. We still claim Uio championship of the world not having- lost a gfurie this season and in order to protect our reputation we are calling on our best talent to appear for this contest. Thru tho ciujrte.sy of Mr. BugtrJ Baer of the Chicago Examiner we have been able to secure that well known athleto "Gink" Fowler from Koug-btown. Arizona., who is no other than our old mainstay, Jack Me-e-ban. ""Jinks" eye for baskets will be accurate as trainer Maginut has him workintr out !hc (.) hours each day to fourteen points but was unable to equal tho local count. Final score: Valpo 10. Hammond 14Valpo takes the fast lowell boys on for a round this evening. Iist year Valparaiso was beaten in the tourney by these lads. They have excellent team works and arc good basket shooters. 1k!T CHICAf;0-IlEfSF.t-.B. Little nenFseiaer knocked the prominent Fast Chicago squad out of the tourney by one point. This was a surprise to all basketball fans as little had been heard of Rensselaer. "Still water runs deep" and East Chicago was drownod. The game was forty minutes of slippery play. One side would slide ahoal and then tlw other would progress. Accordinsr to the dope bucket the boys from the industrial retfion had a cinch. The final addition of field goals and casts showed a. one point lead for Ttnsselaer. N. E. COMETS DE FEAT MALEABLES The X. E. Comets proved to their many followers that they are still in the running; for the city title, when they handed the Malleables one of the worst defeats of the season. The Comets took the lead right of the jump and were never headed At no time of the frame were 'the Comets in danger of defeat. The Comets sent in their second strinsr men In the second half, after the game was safely tucked away. Chandler and De Rolf stared for the Comets, while Cearinf? and Shanks were the main point gutters for the Mailables. Next Thursday evening;, March f. the Comets will take en the East Chicago Dodgers in a return game at the Irving; school gym. The Dodgers defeated the Comets last week by a score of t!2 to 1 fi, but the Comets were minus their star players which accounted for their defeat. The Comets will practice hard for the corning games. They will hold practice Tilonday and Tuesday evening. All players should turn out those nights.

Another game with Butler ha teen mentioned as a possibility also, but so far it is not scheduled. WABASH HAT1CD HIGH. The victory of Wabash over Purdue's Western Conference champions at tafayotte Wednesday places the Eittle Giants as a strong representative from the Central West in the tourney. North Carolina, survivor of th-5 big twentysix team tournament for tho Southern championship which has just been completed at Atlanta, Ga., is said to be one of the snappiest teams in the country. Rutgers, the eastern representative, and Idaho from the Pacific slope, will bring to Indianapolis the finest type of Eastern and far Western game respectively, Rutgers having lost only one game all season and the Idaho Vandals being champions of both the Northwest and Pacific coast conferences. HEBREWS DEFEAT METHODISTS The Hebrew Juniors defeated the strong Methodist Hustlers in a return game by a score of 16 10. The game began with a rush and continued so to the end.

The first quarter ended 72 in favor of the Hebrew's. With this lead the Hebrew's felt confident and with their continued scoring the half ended II 7. The second half began with slight changes in line-up on both sides but the Hebrew's were never in danger. The Hustlers tried to boost their score by rushing the Hebrew's, but with super-teamwork these rushes were soon queeled. The final score of the game was 16 10 with the Hebrew's on the long end. The Hebrew's defeated the Hustlers earlier in the season by a score of 208. Summary of game is as follows: HEBREWS (16 B. F.T. F. Carnovitz. r. f . . . M. Eipner, r. f. . C. Blumenfelt. 1. C.

Tost, director of athletics at the University of Michigan. The mythical football teams, Coach Tost believes, afford a desirable incentive for good work in athletics. Tost favors restriction of intersections! contests to games played during the school year and to trips that would not take players away from their classes for an extended period Such contests, he holds, fchould be booked only on a home-and-home basis.

The champion appeared last night on the stage of the Hippodrome in a six round dialogue and was easily outpointed by Jack Kearns, proving nothing. Kearns has a slick, city way of earning the conversational decision in almost any company. What interested the audience most was the manner in which Dempsey hard, compact torso strained at the a game of keep away, All Saints having the ball more than two-thirds of the time.
