LACK OF TRAINING GIVES RICHMOND TWO DEFEATS IN BILL WITH ANDERSON HIGH

Coach Mullins' Men Fail to Show Proper Form to Overcome Fast Anderson Crew Varsity Defeated, 26-17 Seconds Also Lose.

Showing a greater development and much more aggressive spirit, Anderson High school's basketball representatives downed Richmond High's leather tossers In both contests of a double bill at the Coliseum Friday night, the second taking their game, 21 to 9, and the A. H. S. varsity coming out with the big end of a 26-17 score. The perfectly organized Anderson aggregation started In the first game to show its superiority over the R. H. S. fives and after the first five minutes of play, the youngsters of R. II. S. were lost. Anderson gained the rub, when Dykins, their lanky center gained the tip off at every goal. It was here that the R. II. S. representatives fell down. Lacking the ; proper coaching that would put them in possession of the ball, without having gained the tipoff, coach Mullins' men were unable to stop ths floor work of the visitors and the first half ended, 16 to 6, Anderson. The same playing was true In the second half, and after repeated efforts to gain the ball, without the knowledge of how it should be done, the R. H. S. five started a rough house, much' to the benefit of Anderson. The game ended with the score, 25 to 9, with seven of Anderson's points being made on free throws. Seconds Lack Coaching. The same lack of coaching for defensive play was noticeable in the second half of the evening's bill. Simmons was out jumped by Sillier, of Anderson, and time after time, the Anderson five carried out their plays without a hitch. This was particularly true in the first half, when a cross floor pass from Trucb'ood to Cannon, ; after the tip-off from Miller netted the A. H. S. five four points. Richmond started in the lead in the second gam?, but this lead was soon overcome, and when the CannonTrueblood combination started running, the visitors had the R. H. S. five swampod before many in the crowd realized what was going on. R. H. S. Men Game. Too much credit cannot bo given to the gameness of the Richmond five, and with proper coaching they should have been able to hold their lead, gained in the first few minutes of play. The boys showed plenty of speed, and an ability to stick to the game, but their technical knowledge was not developed to a sufficient extent to compete with the well trained, hard playing, Anderson five. The greatest fault of the R. fl. S.

li t in iuc xiisL uaii xjl Lii V V (1 1 r- i L J game, was overcome in the second section, and in the final section, the Quakers cut down their opponents' lead by two points. Anderson, in the first half, was able to work the Richmond defense down the floor, and then with a series of long passes, eluded Shelton, the Richmond back guard, and registered two points. Cramer, however, stuck to his knitting in the second section, then this play was effectively blocked. Two Out on Fouls. Two men were taken out of the game on fouls, and the e ntire evening was spent with exhibitions of rough playing on the part of both teams. Especially was this true of the Anden-on five in the second content. The visitors had evidently been told

to stick to their man, and this could not have been done better had the men of each team been chained to his opponent Richmond men had few opportunities for open basket shots, for usually there waB an opponent riding them long before they caught the ball. This persistent riding on the part "of the Anderson five was overlooked by the official and it was kept up during the entire game. Next Friday the Richmond team will play against Newcastle on tho Coliseum floor, and if a victory Is expected, the Quakers will have a long hard workout ahead of them next week.

$40,000 is Off ered For Fulton-Willard Championship Bout MILWAUKEE, Wis., Nov. 17. Tom Andrews, local boxing promoter, today was authorized by a Minneapolis boxing club to offer $30,000 to Jess Willard for a ten round bout with Fred Fulton, to be held at Minneapolis within four months. A Milwaukee club at the same time made an offer of 540,000 for a Willard-Fult.on match to be held here during the winter. Kid Hogan of Chicago, was today matched with Johnny Herdtver for a preliminary bout for next Wednesday's show, in which Joe Burman and Johnny Ertle furnish the windup.

Minor League Owners Say Cut Will be Made Minor league magnates are not satisfied with baseball prospects for 1918. Several of them spent yesterday in Chicago and said so. A meeting has been called here for December, at which time club owners from all Western League, Central League, Three-I League and Central Association will boil the four leagues down to two or three circuits. Mike Sexton, president of the Association of Minor League clubs, said he favored the plan. Ed

Western football appears to be way out in front of eastern football this season. Not only has football interest been keener in the west but on the several occasions when western teams have battled with teams of the east the latter have been more or less completely bumped. Michigan's handling of Cornell was a fair sample of the situation and though ' it is admitted that Cornells team was not its usual gridiron machine this should not discredit Michigan's victory.

football played is of the sort that is

seldom surpassed. Every man in the Michigan squad shows the result of grand training and even the substitutes sent into the Cornell game displayed sterling football qualities. Notre Dame's victory over the Army is another triumph for the west. In spite of all that, the . star Oliphant could do, Notre Dame had the bulge on her adversary throughout. The chief reason for the superiority

of western football this season is of course the absence from the game of

seasons, and that in spite of the fact Yale, Harvard and Princeton. Had

Pittsburg is one team in the east that looks well able to deal with anything the west has to send against it, and it looks fairly certain that the Pitt team will complete its third successive season undefeated. A grand contest between east and west has been proposed in a game between Pittsburg and Michigan and the dnnp inrliotoo

that such an affair would be one of !

the most exciting of the season.

EATON, Ohio, Nov. 17. In a game here last night between the Dixon Township High School and Eaton, the Eaton team won by the score of 31-12.

Pes i:

Eastern colleges have found it necessary to economize considerably in their football programs this fall and many of rhem have agreed that the one-man coaching system of the west is an excellent idea. It has been the general practice among eastern schools to employ not ere coach but a squad of coaches, each man presiding over the training cf a different department of the game.

ATonzo FtTgtr of Chicago and Robert r:iijpk of Illlaois. .All cf these men have made records "that v. ill live forever in tho loctball history of the middle west It is also interesting to note that of these men none was over a real star of the gridiron and in fact or-e'j of them. Zuppke, neTer played college football at ail. Yost had been only a fair football player at Lafayette when he went to Michieaa and deveoped some of the greatest machines tho game will ever remember. Robert Zuppke had .been a star basketball -player at Wisconsin

when he arrived at Illinois to coach the football -team and Stagg while at Yale had been better known as a baseball star than as a football hero. The popularity of the one-man system of coaching in the middlewest may be seen in the fact that both Stagg and Yost have been with, the same schools for the past fifteen years. 2uppke came Into prominence more recently and at abont the time that the open game came into favor. There can be no doubt that the one-man idea has been successful where it has been practiced, but there has never been the opportunity to compare justly the play of the eastern schools with the western. Michigan is the only middle western eleven that has had many battles on eastern fields and Michigan in recent years has not had the teams- it has in the old days of blood-and-iron football, turning out such champions as the teams of 1901-'02-'03-'04. V It cannot be said, however, that there have been no individotil coaching stars in the east and men like, Saarpe of Cornell, Warner of Pittsburgh and Sanfcrd of Rutgers come to . mind. Warner has a record of long service at Carlisle and Pittsburgh that i3, as consistent as any and Sanford has' never failed to turn out a well organized team at Rutgers whatever the material on hand.

It Is quite probable that the Central league will be in the field again next year, and. in this event, Richmond will be one of the cities of the circuit. This statement is made by Clarence Jessup, a director of tho Richmond Central League club, who represented the Richmond' club at the Central league meeting held in Louisville this t c -k. When President Stahlhafer of the Central league took the poll of the club representatives as to whether the league should operate next season rut the question first to Jessup.
