THREE STARS BOOKED TO MOVE IN BIG

This trade will give three the American league's 1 iggert stars new homes and uniforms. The main object of the deal i to make Eddie Collins, scintillating Short Passes Prove Undoing of Sturdy County Seat lads East Chicago high school basket ball team won Its third etraJtrbt victory Friday niht when it defeated Crown Tolnt at the McKinley gym. 20 to 10. At no time during the contest was Fast Chicago headed, nor was the contest ever in doubt. Considerably outweighed and lacking the advantage of heightb, which the visitors easily possessed, the short passes of the maroon and white team proved the undoing of the county seat lads. Time after time, the East Chicago offense w-orked th ball down the floor for short shots, indeed making a poor percentage of chances which they bad. With the exception of two baskets, every point scored by East Chicago came from easy tosses from under the basket. On the other hand. Crown Point's sole offense consisted of shooting from any place they obtained the ball. This stylo counted only one basket In the initial half, but in the second period, lucky stabs from the middle of the floor counted four times when the East Chicago second team loosened on defense. The ecore at half time was 10 to 2 with Brandenburg, Paulson, Cavanaugh and Trahalskl scoring, while Brown, eub-forward for Crown Point obtained pole points. In the second half, Faulso nxeglstcreJ three times, Cavanaugh and Trabalskl once each. The second team was unable to register agnst Crown Point, Practice is scheduled for every day this week with the game with the 1321-1922 team la view for January 1. This game cf Monday night will sotlsfy many arguments aws to whether last year's squad is better than the present team. It Is customary generally for alumni teams to lose, but year's team has the advantage of having- played together a a unit, and cf course is composed of older, mora experienced players. The present East Chicago team is not only lacking In weight and size, but four players aro members of the freshman class, while only two are as advanced as the third year. Fast Chicago. 20. B.

LS PLAY JOUET Holiday visitors and those regularly In attendance at the Wednesday evening basket bal games are promised a good entertainment tomorrow when the Colonials meet the Joliet Standards. The program calls for a curtain-raiser at 7 o'clock, wherein the Lighting A. C. meets the Hammond Cardinals, the big contest featuring the home representatives and Joliet at S o'clock, an,i a big dance in the small banquet hall. scheduled to commence at 9. It's to be hoped the local five continues the pace set last Wednesday, when the Fort Sheridan team was defeated 70 to 19. The "soldier team has encountered and defeated some good teams this season including the Central Electrics twice, Avondales, Romeos and Jefferson Parks, but they were completely over-shadowed in their work here. However, overwhelmingly defeated as they were, something which they undoubtedly .forsaw after a fewminutes of placing, the khaki clad fellows played a sportsmanlike contest, showing not the least bit of temper or nastincss, as teams occasionally do in face of certain defeat. Theirs was an even-tempered gentlemanly course which won general commendation. Wilfrid Smith, absenting himself from coaching duties at East Chicago to enjoy the annual Christmas vacation, will not be on hand tomorrow for the game. He is visiting home folks during this week, but will return in time for the contest of January 3rd. POSHED TO BEAT GONZAGA 21-13 W. VIRGINIA (21 Hawkins, R. EL Meredith (C) R.

CAL., Dec. 26 In a smashing battle, featured "by forward passing, the east scored a victory over the far west in football yesterday when West Virginia, one of the undefeated elevens of the near Atlantic section, defeated Gonzaga, of Spokane, Wash., 21 to 13. The game was staged by the San Diego Athletic and Recreational committee and was held in the new stadium, which was comfortably filled with 15,000 spectators. It was an interesting battle and toward the finish the crowd, which for the most part was nonpartisan, was with Gonzaga, which scored all its points in the second half. At the start of the game it looked as if the Mountaineers would be easy winners, for they scored 14 points in the first half. One of these scores resulted from an intercepted forward pass from Capt. Meredith, who scampered seventy yards for a touch down.

I SHOW REAL CLASS IN GAMES TO DATE Woodlawns and Calumets To Be Their Next Opponents. Whiting ned circle hask.t b,n teams will go out after their fourth straight wins Wednesday evening when the heavyweights will hook up with the fast poing Calumet A. C. Five, and the lightweights take on the Woodlawns of Chicago in what promises to be one of the fastest preliminary games of the year. Considerable interest is being shown by Whiting fans in the rapid deveiopement of two good teams at Whiting which are composed entirely of .local athletes. Many said at first, it can't be done, but now that it is being done, the wiseacres are readily admitting it, and are now getting behind the project with a will. The prospect of a heavyweight team which will compare favorably with the strongest that Whiting has ever had I3 cause for real rejoicing among fans, who are now looking forward to the time when the schedule will include the best teams that Lake County in particular and Indiana In general afford. The defeat of the fast going Boosters of Gary who in turn took the Hammond Colonials into camp was considerable of a surprise to fans about tbe county who have expressed themselves as believing that Whiting "didn't have much" this year. However, a start has just been made, and those who are in back of the Circle teams will go the limit to give Whiting the best that basketball affords. Much interest is being displayed in the showing of the local boys and those fans who to date have been rather doubtful and have not as yet showed up at any of the games to get acquainted will do well to reserve next Wednesday nigbt and come up to community gym. where a pleasant surprise lays in store for them. To date the selection of the first squad is not complete inasmuch as there is some mighty good Iking talent who have been working out with the reserves and wbo will in all probability be shunted over to the heavyweight squad for an opportunity to show what they can do. Thiessen, who is purely a home product is repidly regaining his stride and condition, and right now stand out as one of the best all-round players that has ever been developed in this section of the state, and in the words of the Whiting coach, he would be a mighty -valuable man to the best University teams in the country. Eggers. who is another Whiting product looks mighty sweet to those who know the game, inasmuch as he has shown real class in his position at guard, where he has made the Whiting defense airtight, and a mighty tough problem for the opposing teams to solve.

Me Is one of those cool, heady and fast going players who is out to win at any cost, and his ability to drop them in the net when they count the most was demonstrated in the game against Gary, when he cama through with five of the pretiest baskets that any fan cares to see, and the kind w-hich are apt to take the heart out of any team in a game that is running neck and neck. With Jlmmie Burke Morrle Cole. Cliff Lauer, Morrison, Duggan, Grigson, Miller and other members of the squad rapidly coming to the fore, there is no reason why Whiting when the time comes, will not be able to step out and trim the best in the county. From now on Manager Griffith Is arranging a schedule that will bring only teams cf known repute to Wblting for games. Special arrangements are being made with the Hope College team of Holland, Michigan, for a game which will be played at Whiting on January the 20th. Hope College has had mighty good team for a number of years and their team this year is no exception. They are being brought to Whiting for this gam which will prove the mettle and strength of the local five. The Crown Point Legion Ave which hai rapidly developed into one of the best teams in the county In the past few years are also being booked for a game at Whiting. Tbe showing of the local five warrants the booking of teams of the better class and with this end in view last years Indiana state champions, the South Bend "T", -who proved themselves strong enough to win from the faroods Red Crowes by a big score are being booked in a home and home series.
