OAK PARK FRIARS FOR SCATENAS

Jim Thorpe to Captain Indians Against Hammond Team, November 11

The Oak Park Friars eleven which plays the Hammond Scatenas at the Harrison Fark gridiron Sunday afternoon is one of the strongest contenders for the championship toga of the Mid.-West League. Having defeated Elgin, 14 to 0; Joliet, 24 to 0, and the Cicero Boosters, 16 to 0, the Oak Park team has made a. start which augers well for the realization of its ambition. The visitors are coming to Hammend with an eleven that is said to possess the strongest offensive line In the Mid-West League, and in looking over the scores, one can also see that the Friar are good enough on defensive plays. Most of the Oak Park players are graduates of the famous high school which town they represent, under thf former tutolaaro of Coach Glen Thistlewaite. present mentor of Northwestern, the Friar team learned their football . fundamentals and if that counts for anything the Scatenas will be in for sad afternoon. The game promises to be as thorough a test of the Scatena ability as could be asked, and while Coach Ralph Jones Is not making any early claims, he says that the Scats despite a few cripples on the squad are still strong as ever. There Is one thing about 1 the Scatena. eJeven that shines over all and that Is they are willing mixers and will fight to the last minute. Which Ss all any football fan can ask for. Coach Jones brought his charges together yesterday evening, and In plain words he told his players that while he was Satisfied with the close victory over Gary against great odds, he saw no reason for the many fumbles and when the players took the field for a light workout and limbering up drill they went out with enough fighting spirit to beat anything in sight. Two Hammond scouts who saw the Oak Park team defeat Clreco, reported that the Friars did not open up on their passing game, but that they looked fast and aggressive In every department of play. C-apt. Spoerner, who played Sunday against the orders of Trainer Monighan is none the worst over his experience. Hiemke, who baa a bad hand is founding lnt form, while Fitzgerald reports that his bum foot hurt in the Berwyn game Is in shape again. Several new players are expected out for tonight's practice, who the pigskin performers are is a deep mystery, but Manager "Happy" Cantwell seems to have an ace up his sleeve and maybe some good news will be dished out to Hammond fandom before twentyfour hours pass by.

(Sport Editor, Columbus Citizen) COLUMBUS, O.. Oct. 25. Warwhoops, college yells, football signalB, hound dog howls, Airedale yips, coyote yowls and bear growls are resounding through the woods around Larue, fourteen miles north of Marion, O.. these days. No wild west show is in quarters either. It's merely Walter Ungo's Ourang Indian football team getting ready for the big gams against the Hammond professionals at the Hammond Country Club on Armistice Day. Nov. 11. Lingo has the most famous Indian football stars in the country. Chief among them, of course, is Captain Jim Thorpe, the greatest all-round athlete the world has ever known. The famoufc Indian, after a successful baseball season in the Eastern league, has reported at Larue and taken charge of preparing the team for its long and hard season. He will play halfback. Joe Guyon. most famous Indian star since

Aiiache tndmi his Thorpe's time, will play fullback. Pete Calac is another halfback. Besides practicing football the Indians are running these Airedales at night. Nick Lassa, better known as Chief Long Time Sleep, brought his pet coyote to camp with him. When the Airedales 6tart yipping, Jim Thorpe's hounds star howling, the coyote lends his voice and the bears used in training the Airedales start growling, the place sounds like a circus zoo. Folks who have the idea that an Indian is a savage, taciturn, individual, should watch these Indians at play.

I ha dthe camera with me on my trip to Larue the other day and snapped a few action pictures. The white-sweatered player who Just passed the ball is Joe Guyon. He is nearly as good a" forward pass" er as "Hoge" Workman. The "cowboy" riding his "Indian pony" is Attache. The pony is Cacla. In addition to being a whale of a football player ho is an honest to goodness cowman, owning a big cattle ranch on the coast. The "rasslers" are Calac and Guyon. Calac has Just pinned Guyon with a body scissors and wrist lock. It started as a friendly argument over which is the better rassler. Following the football league season, in which the Indians will represent Marion, Lingo plans to take the team on a tour which will Include a trip into Cuba In ea-ly January and will close with a game against the Pacific coast fleet team at Los Angeles early in March. They will travel In three special cars, carrying a pack of hunting Airedales with them for exhibitions in connection with the games. They will open their season Sunday at Dayton and will play the Columbus Panhandles the following Sunday In Marion.

is nave ail gone to wast lor one reason or another. So it appears now as If he shall have to remain in the lighter class snd play against the heavier division. At least, until the finals are firawn; then the welterweight teams "'ill have to play the Dodgers or forfeit "the championship to them. However, Monday night's meeting developed a few prospects for a couple of big attractions in the near future. The Hammond Scatenas want the Dodgers over to Hammond on Thanksgiving day. And P. J. Carr's Cornells, 1321 champions' of the welterweight division of the Mid West league, are eager to schedule a game, with the Dodgers for Nov. 5th at the fight arena. The Cornells average 152 pounds this season and ire entered in the middleweight class. From present Indications it looks as if both games will swing into completion e'er the week is up. As a result, this will give the Dodgers a chance to perform against the best teams of the upper class before the

I welterweights are forced to play

them. Then the going will not be so tough. We do not wish to give the fans the impression that the Dodgers are no match for the middlewelghts. Witness th tie affair of two Sundays ago with the East Chicago Gophers, last year's champs of that division; and then again last Sunday's romp away with the Roamers, another reputable team of that league, and you will be ready to believe that the Dodgers are good enough to etep up with the best of them. Tet, the chances are legion that a lighter team takes in hitting a heavier eleven. And a club playing merely for the sport of the pastime risks all and gains nothing i;i doing so.

By CHAS. SHRAGO What can be classified as a snappy and zesty basketball practice, in which the young men's and ladies' divisions of the I. H. 15. R. R. A. C. participated, took place Monday night at the Irving gym. ' It was the second practice of tho season. A't the opening of the pracltee period, Richard Zimmerman, coach of the young ladies, devoted a little time to 'the rt of basket caging. At th conclusion of the preceding the

coach segreg4ted his sq'iad into tvo teams for the purpose of emanating a game in which speed, accuracy and efficiency should be the dominating figures. Each participant was on her toes until the final whistle, keeping time to "Everybody Step." Phenomenal and laudable playing on the part of Madyln Hall and Helen Batonie was easily perceptible, both trying for equal honors in scoring baskets. Perfect passing was another paramount feature. Coach Zimmerman was well pleased with the showing of the squad. In order, the young men took possession of the floor. Lining up, the squad took up basket ringing as the divertisement. Perfect; shot8 were engendered by every man. After the preceding came to a close, two teams were formed. James Labas, a mainstay on the high

school team of 1921-22, proved to be the star of the game, with Zimmer-

r.iaii a ciosc second. As to dribbling, speed and clean playing Labas is paramount. Others who displayed exceptionally good playing were Downing, Zimmerman. Beatty and Bebrlng. The material is of the best and their playing is second to none. AH w need is your support.

Crack Girl Team Now In Training

This story will bring great relief and a world of understanding to five young men who have wondered for weeks why five young women have been refusing every sort of sweet-meat and confection, no matter the occasion. For the first time it Is explained that the five young ladles are the very determined members of the crack Betz Girls' basketball team. They have been practicing hard to repeat this fall and winter their record of last year. The coach and manager of the team has put a strict taboo on palatable dainties. Training in the camp of the Betz girls Is taken seriously. Arduous practice Is not offset with soirees of sweet-meats. The first game of the Betz quintet will be played Monday, October 30. That's next Monday. The game is scheduled for Lafayette gym at 8 o'clock and will be a sort of elimination contest between members of the first and second teams. It's been a hard Job- to decide who should comprise the first team and the Betz girls themselves

t seem to have taken to the Idea of

letting the fans help decide. Hence the game. There will be a preliminary between the Scatenas and another Hammond team. Tickets may be had from members of the team or at the door on the night of the game.

MAROONS TO PLAY WHITING FRIARS Over at Forsythe Field Sunday, fans will see one of the best gridiron games in the middle west, when Coach Bbert's West Hammond Maroons face the fast going Whiting Friars. The Maroons are working with earnestness for the coming battle.

I which will be the toughest this sea

son. Coach Ebert Is not letting up for the coming game, and expects to put the boys through one of the hardest drills ever given the team this year. Whiting, who has played

some splendid football In their last three games, have one of the best middle weight elevens In Indiana, coached by MiUikan, one time star on the great Pine Village team, which was operated and owned by Rhode, a great sportsman. Milllkan ha? proven his ability as a coach, by rounding the Oil City aggregation into one of the hardest teams In this section of the country. The coming game should be a corker as both teams are evenly matched, and with two of the best coaches handling both elevens, will make the game a hard fought one. Last year these teams met in the opening game of the season, but the Friars were fortunate to cross the .Maroon goal twice, thus beating the West Hammond lads by a score of 13 to 0. However, Coach Millikan's machine will be a tough proposition for the Maroon eleven Sunday, because of the decisive victory over the Mozart's last Sunday. The powerful exhibition of the forward wall, and the scentlllatlng play of the Friar backs. Whiting will enter the combat against the Maroons a decided favorite and dopes to win. However, the Maroon team is well balanced and -with a great line, to hold the Friars, it will be the greatest game ever seen on the Forsythe field. The Maroons showed their skill against the powerful Valparaiso team Sunday, by holding the University boys to a tie, with a revised lineup. Coach Ebert has some new plays for the coming game, and will work them every night this week. So as to get them down in perfect working ordfr for the coming battle. The announcement In last nifrht's Times that Shipwreck is to play with the Hammond Scatena eleven is unfounded, inasmuch as Shipwreck is still a member of the West Hammond Maroon eleven.
