Tlie battle will be important for be : elevens as the loser will be declared out of the running for the Mi l" fft championship. Hammond .v'i'i! has a good claim for high !,.-nr; The fact that the:-- suffered de.'-'a' a week ago at the hands of l..i't Chicago has not hurt the ol'aiK'.s of the local team as Eas. 1 hi-.ago m t'-.rn was defeated by ;: Whiting Friars. T' o hundred and fifty rooters, in- . luJmj a squad of t-.venty-flve !: -.skies, win invade the Harbison rark gridiron from the little town : f ?:eger. The visitors are coming to Hammond confident that they . an take the measure of a team I'-at has had three hard games on t i- schedule in one week. Seldom in the history of the gridiron sport has a team had to lace the elevens that the Scatenas l av- played this season. Without f-;ir or favor the Hammond players have met the best In two states and ir the weather man continues to be the Scatenas intend to play i. -t 1 the.- are totally exhausted. yi:c times have the Illinois and 1 -'liana foer.ien collided in various at! leti contests, with Steger -r-'-rins triumphant on four occasions, and the thriller that was staged at Steger in the fall of 1919 i? v:iM In the minds of the Scatena rooters. A missed goal kick by a Hammond player kept the locals from a deadlock and they will be . --ut Sunday to avenge the 7 to 6 defeat. Both elevens are primed for a te-rifio scrap and as the Harrison par gridiron is dry and fast the rooters should be treated to one of the most spectacular clashes of the y'r-ar. The Steger and Hammond t-ams boast cf high class open field runners. Gearing, who made a name for birr self while at the Hammond high school, will be opposed by Brown. a former Hyde Park per-fj-ir.er who is tutored to a high denee of efficiency in passing through the aerial route. KeKey, the agile end on the Steger team, was a sensation several years ago In the Chicago Suburban league and it is sure that he will take an Important rart in the game tomorrow. In the games that the Steger team has won the season Kelley's work of grubbing passes has been the main factor in the victories of the piano town. Kelley Is also 41 good man on defense and has no equal when it comes to running down punts. The Steger team lias met and defeated the Dixon American Legion, Morocco, Fowler. Michigan City and Krntland. Their one set-back, if joii could call it that, was a tie s"; re with the Momence eleven, -who were stacked for the fray with playrrjj from every known college in the country- It was a money betting affair in which Steger ruled a 10 to 7 favorite. The Momence men surprised all by putting in a crew of "sta'-s." The Steger team and rooters will arrive in town tomorrow morning. A short workout will be taken by the visitors on the Harrison park field and no matter how the weather iiiiy turn out there will be a foothill game -with the contest being . ailed at exactly 2:13.

Because of their splendid showing against Hegewisch. the Hammond fans will be out in full force and it will be another capacity crowd that will watch the two elevens in cction.

LION -I GAME CALLED OFF The football game which was scheduled to occur at the East Chicago Arena on Turkey Day. was called off late Wednesday evening, when it became evident that the managers of the Indiana Harbor Lions and the East Chicago Dodgers could not agree on the hour. The contest had originally been billed as a curtain-raiser to the '-npher-Friar game at Whiting, but arrangements came to a halt when Manager Lottenvillo of the Oil Clty crew absolutely refused to allow a preliminary battle to be staged. Faced with this decision, "Dumpy" Jones, who looked after the business interests of the Dodgers, announced that the game would be played at the Arena at 11 a.m. Manager Harvey, of the Lions, declined to try to play at that hour, for the reason that many of his men would have to work and could not possibly get out for a morning performance, ire in sit see! that the tilt take place in the afternoon, as scheduled, but consented to appear at the Arena. Jones stated very plainly that the Dodgers would not play at East Chicago after dinner. "The whole town will go over to Whiting to see tho Gophers play,-" he explained, "and there wouldn't be a big enough gate to pay a referee." And there he matter stands. The Lions have been deprived of the opportunity they have sought to marl: up the Dodgers' almost clean sheet. It is hoped that a game between the:se two teams will be put on at i later da'e.

WHITIXG. Ind., Dec. 1. The Hammond Prof cssior.fUs, members of the National Professional League, defeated the Whiting's Friars, an organization consisting of pure-ly amateur talent, on Forsythe Field on Thanksgiving Day, when the Hammond team appeared on the field, it looked as a newspaper critic's all-conference selection of college football stars. The Hammond team, playing under the name f East Chicago Gophers, were fortified with sx:ch sta-s as Sullivan, Tlerney, Tags and a host of others who were carefully camouflaged to avoid identification. I can sympathize with the Hammond Scatenas as to their game with the Gophers last season, who were victims of the same conspiracy. In going over the Gophers' past records, we note that their record is nothing to boast e f , as we. artcertain that all their previous games were "fixed." Why cannot the Gophers live up to the agreement and play square? Show its a game that the Gophers have pJayed square! I believe, that the Gophers are an organization, unworthy of their reputation, and that when un able to play a square deal aga itist their opponents they secure college star:!, with one main purpose and that Is to win at all costs. Manager Ittinvilla demanded that these "ringers" be removed from the lineup, but Manager Pollack stood pat and positively refused to live up to the agreement. To prevent any misfortune, Manager Lattinville declared all bets off and the game was played on 50-50 basis. For three hard-fought quarters, the Friars held Ticrnay. Sullivan and the remaining stars to a scoreless tie. and then Sullivan, by hard plunging managed to plant the oval right on the goal line for the only score of the game and therefore was lucky to score, the touchdown. With the Gophers' 200-rcund average line, the Gophers were powerless to nrlvani-p without the services of their "rirgers" and would be lost i had not the ringers scored the j noints. I am only surprised th.it . the score was not large, as with the team the Gophers put up ouf-ht to be formidable opponents for the Chicago Bears or Akron IndiansAs for Manager Pollack's tactics. I cannot say much as from inside facts I know him to be a character ;.f unsportsman-like views of contracted agreements. I trust in the future that the Friars will book games with organizations TV-ho can play square, an.1 square at all times. In the future all athletic relations are severed ivith the East Chicago Gophers n -count of their unfair dealings in lie football g.ime.

McGill university, Montreal, Canada, has tet tha precedent by engaging in two tilts with Syracuse aniversity. These Syracuse-McGill affai s two of, them have been staged are the first international contests held under the model 1 styla of play and the first played since McGill played Harvard twenty years ago.

In the five minutes extra time the Betz shooters managed to sink two more field baskets. The game was hard fought and clean and showed that both teams are In excellent training. J PIRATES CAPTURE THE CITY TITLE Flaying their last game against odds, the fighting I'irate 120-pound team walloped the Hammond Bulldogs. 19 to 18. This brings them the long cherished city title.

The liulll dogs came back strong and euceeded in putting a marker over but failed in try for goal. Then to the surprise of everyone present, the Dulldogs put another touchdown over on Bush's hair-raising run. But the Pi-ates. not to be outdone, stepped out and they sure did stop. Shaffer tore off 40 and then 3rt yards. On tho third play he scored the vouchdown. Nelson of the Bulldogs picked up a fumble, and carried it to the goal, where Bush took it over. With hut three minutes to rJtty, "Wizard" Hoffman called for line smashes. Tho opposing line cracked and broke, the ball being placed on their 15 yard line. Hoffman skirted end for the long awaited touchdown. Then using strategy he skirted end f'em the 5 yard line for the extra ipoirit.

COLONIALS NIEET

LAPDRTE T next mm LaPorte Five Appears On Temple Court in 3rd GTame of Season. Still tasting the bitterness of the defeat administered them by the Chicago Forges, the Colonials appear in their regular weekly home contest at the Masonic Temple Wednesday evening against the LaPorte T. M. C A. "While no dishonor is felt in having dropped the last game to the Chicago team ly a two point margin, the Hammond athletes feel that luck was not with them in that contest and they yearn for another crack at those admlttey classy basket shooters. The many who witnessed the For-ges-Colni8l game must have quit the huge auditorium with a feeling of complete satisfaction with the evening's entertainment. The Colonials played brilliantly and most satisfactorily. The fact that the score was against them by a Bcant goal was more evidence of the fine quality of basket ball played by the visitors than any slowing up of the local five The Forges were as good as advertised. The class displayed by them in Iat Wednesday's game left no doubt in anyone's mind, w think, about their ability to again upset the University of Chicago ; should they meet again. Our own representatives were not overshadowed. The very closeness of the entire contest places them on a level with the victors. Eliminating the good fortune which necessarily attended the Forges players in their continuous long distance shooting and our five would have emerged the winner. It must be admitted that the boys were a point or two off form in their shooting of baskets. Seldom will Smith, Halladay and Thompson go the entire game with but a single field goal each. With but a lone break of luck in the many cases where the Colonial capers seem ingly had baskets sunk, only to suffer the distraction of seeing the ball wriggle free from the ring, and the score would have read differently. The defeat is making felt an influence which will work a benefit. The boys feel the loss to such an extent that a practice is being held at the Lafayette gymnasium this afternoon. Rough points in the tip-off, signals, formations, etc., will ba Ironed out. To chances are being taken on the possibility of the LaPorte team duplicating tho trick of the traveling Forges. The LaPorte "T" team, the team which appears on the Temple court Wednesday, received consideration as Indiana champions last year. The team won victories over the South Bend "T." the Gary Boosters. Michigan City " Y,' and Concordia College. They lost to the Chicago Forges, yie team which beat the Colonials last Wednesday, 27 to 25, by a single point. Nine and ten players are carried by the LaPorte club, as is usual among the "Y" teams. Their captain Is Moffitt, a player who gained some reputation as a basket ball star at Toledo, O.. during the seasons of 191S, "13 and '20. The team also carries two former Culver Military Academy players in addition to the local "Y" talent. Basket ball will take a more promising place in the train of events now that football playing is side-stepped, awaiting the coming of another fall. The huge auditorium in which the Colonials are playing each "Wednesday Is quite adequate in size to hold tho largest of turnouts. On the two occasions that, contests have been played in the Temple this season the gatherings have been large and very enthusiastic. The interest reached a particularly high point last "Wednesday. The contest on that evening was a fast and furi ious one, with thrills galore. JUNIOR TEAM ON LOOKOUT FOR GAMES WHITING. Ind. Dec. 2. Basket ball has always played an important part in the histories of sport in Whiting, and this year there rises amidst the youths of this city a team well nigh deserving of defending the Oil City's honors: The Whiting Mohawks.

FRIARS TO ME t. C.

DODGERS

WHITINC. Ind.. Dec. 2. The East Chicago Dodgers, who have: l.eo.n clamoring for a return engagement, have been successful in their attempt and thi Friars will give the Dodgers another chance to even matters. Manager Jones has pre. Rented his lineup and is certain that his charges will give the Friars another strenuou s session. Th same lineup will be opposite the Twin City crow as tho one that defeated the Dodg'.ra in the previous game. No changes will d : made whatfoever and under no circumstances will the Friar club employ ringers as it was demonstrated in the Gopher game that the Friars are nble to meet th"! beet professional organization in country baring none. The same Dodger men such as Piper. Qulnn Conroy. Rilej', Shepherd, Leorman, Armstrong and a host of others will endeavor to m'et the Friars on even terms. The Friars are in the best of spirits, following the Gopher game and it was said on the sideline that with the regular Gopher lineup it would be payday for Whiting. Injury to Rust, Whiting's flashy quarter, will not prevent this lad from participating in this contest and with the Friar 1 in i "-orking better than a clpck, the Dodgers win have more than they can carry as the Friara are out to defeat the Dodgers and by a large score. Capt. Gallevan will lead his men in the battle with one intention and that is that the Friars will see a team, reorganized as to spirit, a team full of fight and ready to meet the best of them. All fans are urged to attend in full force as a good game is antlsipa.t?d. Fans be on hand! ST. JOSEPH A. C. TTTTTkT 1 1 O ! Will U-IO. More than 200 basketball fans witnessed the defeat of the fast Shamrock team by St Joseph's quintet last Tuesday evening. The first half was a nip and tuck affalr with the Shamrocks leading by a one point margin, 7 to 6. The pace set was very fast, in fact this mainly caused the upsetting of the Shamrocks as the St. Joe A. C. were play, ing their second game of the year. The St. Joe A. C. played a rather loose game at first but in the second half they seemed to have found themselves aM started to forge ahead. Their scoring -was steady and after the first few minutes of the second half the St. Joe aggregation was never headed. For the victors Tannogoodski played the stellar role, sinking some beautiful baskets from the middle of the floor. Besides making a total of 5 baskets. He also made two free throws. Ze'ler made four free throws out of a possible five. The work of Meyers at back guard was complete In every detail and he proved a tower of strength for the winners. The work of Runert at forward and Zasada at center -while not phenomonal was at all times more than adequate. Jack Leeney and Eberle were the stars for the Shamrocks with two baskets apiece. Kalina, Beatty and Shafer played a good game In their respective positions. Lineup was as follows: St. Joseph A. C. Tarnogradskl and Reinert, forwards; Zasada, center; Zeller and Meyers, guards. All Saints Kalina, Doolin. Eberle, forwards; J. Leeney, D. Leeney, and Chandler, centers; Beatty and Schafcr, guards.
