Two High School Basketball Men Leave Seconds
Football Stars in Army
Stock in the Richmond High school second team took a decided' drop Thursday, when an announcement was made that two of the strongest men on the second squad will be unable to play this season, on account of leaving the school Captain Joe Shaffer and bla brother Kenneth Shaffer who will move to Decatur. 1H., in the near future reported to Coach Mulllns Wednesday evening that they will be unable to continue with the team for more than two weeks. Although no games have been scheduled for the second team this season, Manager Nohr, of the athletic association, announced Thursday that an effort was being made to book games with several county teams. Including Cambridge City, Hagerstown and others. .
The second string men-- have been
working with the regulars for the last two weeks and their work is greatly improved. The squad will appear on
the floor at the opening game Friday

Two records were broken in the City

high team score when they rolled up 969 in the second game with the Models and Rob Tomllnsoh took the individual league score with 237 as the Vogues took two or three from the
Coco Colas. The Tramps managed to crib an
other game in their efforts to crawl
from the bottom when they put up a 913 mark for the All Stars to shoot at in the second game of their series. The Stars took the other two contests, however. The Knights took all three games from the Models and stepped into a tie for the lead with the Kokes. The scores: K. of C.

AYER, Mass., Nov. 5. -Charley Coo
lidge, the old Harvard end who is now in the army and who has been coaching the football team at Camp Devena here, declares that the train
ing camps of the national army will have some of the' best teams in the country. v
Toshow Just what he meant by the
assertion, Coolidge led his Camp Devens gridiron warriors against the Harvard "informal" team a few days ago
and the soldier boys held the college -boys scoreless in a warmly contested affair. The game ended a tie, 00,
and while the Harvard boys showed
aggressive spurts the soldiers held so
well that at no time was the ball carried far into Camp Devens territory.
That the soldiers were able to make so good a Bhowing after inadequate training and little enough time for practice seems to Indicate that excellent football material may be found
in the national army camps. Coolidge
declares that with proper coaching and equipment the men he lias been handling would form a team to make any of the best varsities go some. Football may not have so flourishing a season in college circles this fall as heretafore, but it looks like the training camps will discount its failure in the big schools. There is not a camp in the country where football is not being played in the time the soldier boys can spare from their camp duties. Most of the camps have football veterans in their midst from the college in their section and fast teams of ex-college men are forming in all of them. Games with the college teams or with other camps are planned Some of the best football will be seen In the training - camps this fall, while much of our best football talent is training in the service of its country.

New Basketball
Rules Speed Up Style of Play
Thirty basketball coaches recently
gathered in the Springfield (Mass.) Y.
M. C. A. college gymnasium to .hear
William H. Ball, a member of the na
tional basketball rules 'committee, ex
plain the code for the coming season. One of the most important changes in the rules this year is the establishment of an end zone. By this rule the
space two feet behind the basket on either side is fair territory which moves the basket into the field of play. This is expected to prove a
radical change, as it will give the
piayers a chance to play around ana
under the basket more than is now possible. A substitute entering the game must report to the scorer as well as the referee. The phraseology de
scribing what constitutes a dribble,
and out-of-bounds ball was more clearly defined. This year a timekeeper's
whistle is the official close of play,
thus obviating many arguments which
have arisen In the past becausepf the delay which often occurs between the
timers and referee's whistle at the
close of the game.

The latest news from Promoter Snowy Baker of Australia indicates that boxing over there is in a bad way. When the late Les Darcy was astonishing the world with his prowess Australia cut a big figure in fistic history, but since Darcy's departure and subsequent death, the bottom has dropped out of the sport. Ring stars now are so scarce that Jimmy Clabby and Eddie McGoorty, both of whom were forced into retirement when Darcy was alive, have come back and are the stars of the middleweight division. The ancient Harry Stone is the star of the welterweight class, and Dave Smith, who was knocked out with the first

BYRON HOUCK ST. LOUIS, Nov. 3. When President Phil Ball of the St. Louis Browns drafted Byron Houck pitcher, for next season there were sickers in some quarters and many believed that Houck had never a chance to make good in the American league. Those that scoffed had remembered Houck when he; was given a try-out with the Athletics some while back. Connie Mack looked him over thoroughly, decided he wouldn't do and
shipped him back to the minors. Last
season Houck played with Portland In the Pacific Coast league.
After winning more than two-thirds
of the forty games he pitched for Portland last season Houck began to feel that he was worth another chance in fast company. When .President Ball was on-the coast recently he heard so
much praise of Houck that he had no doubt about the youngster's value as a big league recruit. Ball believes that Houck will win many games for the Browns next season. While with the Athletics Houck's chief defect was a lack of control. His wildness alone was enough to curse his chances and Connie Mack didn't take - time to look at anything else he had. On the coast Houck has corrected his poor contr61 and the arm that seemed sore at times must be ail righnow because Byron worked hard enough all last season. He is still young enough to go quite a few years in fast company and he is big and strong and always in the best shape.
game played by a West Point team for
many years past remarked that Ollphant was undoubtedly the best football player who had flashed his great
ness on the gridiron overlooking the Hudson. The remark was heard by a person who had seen Jim Thorpe perform at the reservation a few seasons back and he interposed with an idea that Thorpe was being overlooked.
"I guess you are right, replied Oli-
phant's booster, "I was forgetting about Thorpe. Perhaps I should modi
fy my statement about Olie and call him 6econa best, for Thorpe surely was the wizard." The game which Thorpe played at West Point was witnessed by many New Yorkers who had. the opportunity of seeing the Indian at his best that afternoon. He did about everything that man can do with a football, much to the discomfiture of the Army team and its followers. His kicking, running, tackling and every other move he made were the work of the artist. . ...Tha.Btaiement that Bennie Leonard, the lightweight champion, would have been defeated by former title holders,
including Jack McAuliffe, Kid Lavigne and Joe Gans, has caused much discussion among old time ring followers. Some of them seem to think that Leonard also would have been an easy mark for Terrible Terry McGovern, once invincible as the world's featherweight champion. McGovern stopped Frank Erne, also a lightweight title holder, in jig time, but Erne had to make 128 pounds, which sapped his vitality. McGovern knocked out Joe Gans too, but the fight was a fake.
Terry might have beaten Leonard in a. handicap match, but hardly at 133 pounds ringside, in ten rounds. . The announcement that the major leasrue will follow a shorter schedule
next season will mean many changes!
from the system which has been in vogue in the major leagues for several Beasons past. There will be no rush to the training camps in late February or early March, the start being delayed to late in March or early in April. Then again the players probably will be asked tc sign contracts for five months instead of six, as has been the regular form for some seasons. Whether there is to be a general reduction In players' salaries is not known. A prominent baseball man remarked recently that this feature would come up for consideration at the annual meetings. Miller Huggins believes that Sammy Vick, the Yanks' young outfield recruit, will develop into one of the outfield stars of the game. Vick was observed by Connery, the scout who dug up Rogers Hornsby for the Cardinals and Connery gets very enthusiastic when Vick 3 mentioned. The Yanks' scout nabbed Vick, however, before Connery could'get him but Miller Huggins will have the youngster after all. Though he is still young and may need another year or two for development, Huggins believes that Sammy is going to be a wonder. John Tener, president of the National league, announces that while his term comes to a close next month he will accept the invitation of the club owners to serve in the same capaciey a while longer.
Former Quaker Ball Player is Now With
Cleveland Grid Team
' CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 8. Yaro Krejci, (Bob Kreg), considered the best all around athlete in Cleveland,
will play a tackle position for the Fav
orite Knit football eleven, which is scheduled to play the -Mendel Pirates
at Neil Park Sunday afternoon. He is a wonderful punter and place kicker.
Though not yet 21 years old he had a tryout in the Western League three years ago. Last year in the Cleveland Press amateur tournament he was selected as one of the two best amateur players in Cleveland, and as a result was sent by the paper on the training trip with the Cleveland Indians this year. He finished the season with Richmond in the Central League where he made such a showing that he was sold to the New York Giants. He is six feet tall and weighs 180 pounds.
