COLONIALS WIN OVER JOLIET

Led By Shelton, Hammond Five Scores Easy Win Victory number four was achieved by the Colonial fire Wednesday evening, when they walloped the Joliet Standards, 37 to 20, breaking through a defence which was devised by the visiting team for this particular contest, and for the express purpose of stopping the onslaughts of local quintet. Lewis, late of Junior College, was set upon Halladay, intent upon stopping that individual. He stopped him to no small extent, but in so doing robbed the Joliet quintet of his own offensive strength, for while he held our lank captain to a couple of field goals, he made not a one for himself, playing at center. In their craftiness, great though it was, the visitors overlooked one cog which proved their undoing. Don Shelton has played few games in his life which topped his performances of Wednesday night. He was everywhere, ever and anon bouncing the ball off the home backboard or through the net, sinking 8 goals from the field, and turning out a feat rarely duplicated by throwing 12 of a total of 15 chances through the loop from the free throw line. We recall stellar acts of Chuck Carney, Al Smith and Don White in making great totals of four goals, but few and far between were acts of theirs which compare with those of Shelton on this occasion. Through the seriousness with which, he played to accomplish what he did, causing more roughness on his part than is usual.

Shelton was forced out of the game near the middle of the second half, on fouls, but his triumph was marked for his team enjoyed a comfortable lead. The first half was decidedly in favor of the Colonials, featured by Shelton's work and well marked by the duel being put on by Lewis and Halladay. Often the referee's whistle called a halt to more seriousness finding Lewis and Halladay well mixed up and scrambling for ball or position in a most fighting manner. Shots from different angles by Don and the combined efforts of Thompson and Scott in returning the ball had a telling effect, and the half ended, 21 to 11. During the second half, Grace replaced Thompson, and after the few minutes necessary before his mates became well reminded of his presence, fit in well. Shelton's fourth personal foul brought Mao into the same again, Halladay taking up the job of shooting from the free throw line in the absence of Don. The score: JOLIET (20)

FOOTBALL RUMORS IN THE AIR

INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE NEW YORK, Dec 29- Rumors of possible changes in the plans of several universities in regard to football coaching were current as the national collegiate athletic association prepared to hold Its annual meeting at the Hotel Astar. One report had it that Pittsburgh would refuse, to relinquish its claim on Glenn Warner in order that he might take charge of football at Stanford next season. Another was that Columbia had dropped negotiations with "Greasy" Neale and would offer the position of head coach to Knute Rockne, now at Notre Dame. Neither was given much credence. It is understood that Pitt may wish to retain Warner but since his contract there has expired and he has already signed an agreement with Stanford there does not appear to be an obstacle in the way of his transfer to the Palo Alto institution. Various minor changes in football rules, suggested at the meeting of coaches yesterday, will be brought to the attention of the rules committee yesterday. The most important called for the return of the old rule governing a bounding ball, a change in the rule covering an on-side kick and the introduction of uniform code of signals so that officials can apprise spectators of what is going on during a game.

PITT AND STANFORD STARS OUT; PENN STATE DRILLS SAVAGELY

PASADENA. CAL. Dec. 23 In preparation for its Intersectional football struggle, with Southern California in the Rose bowl on Monday afternoon, Penn State was put through a grueling forty minutes' scrimmage by Coah Hugo Bezdek on the stadium field yesterday afternoon. The first team tore through the second eleven almost at will. Palm and Wilson scored touchdowns after long runs through broken fields. Some of the scores happened on the kickoff, while others resulted from perfectly executed double and triple

passes from backfield shift formations. At times the scrub forwards broke through and spoiled plays before they were started. When the first eleven was stopped in its tracks, a forward pass or triple pass formation made up the lost ground. No injuries occurred, though the players went at each other savagely. The workout was the last strenuous session. Bezdek will open the gates tomorrow to allow fans to see the team in action, and the State mentor asserted he does not care whether the whole Southern California squad looks on.

CROWN POINT LEGION FIVE

WINS AGAIN

By C. M. MFRIED CROWN POINT. Ind., Dec 29. Keeping up their winning streak the Hub Legion downed the fast Winamac Independents last night 35 to 24. From the standpoint of team development in the efficient use of the short pass and offensive play this was easily the best game staged this

season by the Hub Legion.

During the first half, with some substitute material in the lineup, the scoring was evenly divided, the period ending 21 to 18. In the last half the veterans with a stiffer defense, outplayed the visitors, 11 to 6. Kubal scored 6 basket and 5 free throws for the Pointers, while Wasser starred for the visitors with 6 baskets and 1 free throw. Lineup follows: WINAMAC.

REDS OFFER

EXPLANATION

The club management protested to the officers of the Association House which, by the way, is one of the largest institutions of its kind in Chicago. Pressure was brought to bear on the management of the basketball team, and the wires between East Chicago and Chicago have been humming, for the Reds wish to come to East Chicago and make reparation for the disappointment they have caused. The East Chicago management has taken the matter under consideration and may bring the Reds here next Thursday. The "rain checks" Issued for the previous Red game will be good for this game if it is arranged. The club sincerely hopes that no repetition of last Thursday shall occur, not only on account of the financial expenditure involved, but on all such occasions the game suffers.

The Association House Reds. who a week ago disappointed a large crowd at East Chicago by not appearing, have offered the following explanation: While going to the 12th street station of the I. C R. R. the machine in which they were riding was struck by another machine and three of the members of the team sustained minor cuts. In the excitement of getting medical assistance, the last train was missed, and a long distance call was put in to East Chicago and was not completed until 10 p. m.

During the last week, steps were taken to bring the Colonials of Hammond and East Chicago club of East Chicago together in a home and home series. This should be one of the best series of the year, with local opinion about evenly divided. Although "Big" Smith and Don Shelton were members of both squads, this difficulty has been ironed out by East Chicago retaining Smith, and conceding Shelton to the Colonials. A man to man comparison of the two teams would be about the hardest nut to crack that we know of. For instance; who could draw the line between Martin and Scott as back guards? Or between Mc-

Shane, Gavit and Wickherest against

Shelton, Holliday and MacThompson as a floor combination Smith is generally conceded to be the best center in the middle west and in this one position East Chicago has the bulge. Both teams are rated high in this district and both have, always had a reason's record better than the average. It's going to be a fast game which the breaks may decide, and as soon as a definite date is decided on, it will he announced in the columns of this paper.

WHITING TAKES ITS 7TH STRAIGHT

WHITING, IND., Dec. 29 Whiting high won her seventh straight victory by handing Decatur a 32 to 20 trimming on the latter's floor. Decatur had established quite an enviable record and the defeat at the hands of the Oil City crew was somewhat of a set back to the downstaters. Coach Hart's warriors held a commanding lead at all times and were never in danger of defeat. Capt. "Irish" Dwan played in scintillating fashion. He sank 5 baskets while his floor work was remarkable. Joe Dufallo, the elongated center, also made 5 baskets and played bangup ball at all stages of the game. Joe Kopcha played his usual wonderful game at back guard, his defensive play being the best seen this season. The Whiting quintet seems to be improving in every game and it looks as if they are destined to make quite a reputation in basketball circles this year. Whiting will meet Lowell next week at the Community gym.

DEMPSEY WILLS TALK

HEARD

AGAIN

BY DAVIS J. WALSH I. N. S. Sports Editor NEW YORK, Dec. 23. Diplomatic revival of the Dempsey-Wills proposition is in order when Jack Kearns arrives in New York in a glow of self-satisfaction and a cut away coat, some weeks hence. This is the good word that has gone out among the fistic elite. From sources unknown higher up, the tip has been given that all is now well and the interested parties may proceed with their plans without fear of discreet interruptions. Al Smith, the new governor, is said to look with a tolerate eye upon the proposal at any rate, he is believed to be in a receptive mood and in no wise inclined to interfere as long as the law is obeyed. Gentlemen of the press, therefore, may expect to be duly informed almost any time now that public demand for the match can be restrained no longer. It is believed that Kearns is convinced that neither Floyd Johnson

or Louis Firpo can be built tip into a convincing attraction before the summer months and realizing that this protracted idleness, is ready to do business with the first real contender that happens along. The latter and Hary Wills are one and the same. The bout will be put on, if nothing unforseen occurs, in New York during the coming summer and it is possible that the polo grounds will be the scene of the affair. Tex Rickard, of course, will be a conspicuous bidder but unless he can get the Yankee stadium, may not care to erect a new arena capable of accommodating a crowd such as would witness a bout of this magnitude. Jersey City is regarded as an impractical site because the New Jersey law will not countenance a charge of more than $15 for the best seats. The latter, of course, will lose the public's attitude toward such an outcome will be the gage by which promoters will guide them themselves in considering a Demp-sey-Wills attraction.
