HIGH SCHOOL PLAYERS
TO WORK IN HOLIDAYS TO SECURE TEAMWORK High school net men will not take a vacation daring the holidays but will work out on the T. M. C. A. floor several afternoons during the week. Harold Taggart will" have charge of tha basketball men during the vacation In the absence of Coach Null. The next game for the locals is that with Muncie at Muncie on Jan. 7. This game promises to be a good contest with the local school standing a good chance to bring the Magic City scalp back with them. The fast rate at which the team has been travelling since they doffed the moleskins Indi' rates that they will have a very creditable team before the season ends. The high school team this year is considerably better than the Red and White representatives of last season. The best indications are that they work together in real team fashion. - This is bound to make them a formidable opponent for any squad they go up against. Have Fighting Spirit. The great essentials of a basketball team are speed, endurance, accuracy of eye and a fighting spirit that never knows how to give up. These things - are being drilled into the Red and v White1 at all times by the high mentor. Size does not generally enter into the consideration if a quintet is made up $' men equipped with the other essentials. No game requires more endurance than basketball and few as much. Players are at it at all times without check, and at top speed for two twenty-minute periods. Training for basketball Is, therefore, a very interesting and important subject. Are Training Now. It is known that many of the members of the football team did not stick to rigid training, but indications are that every member of the high school net squad will do his best to put him-j self in the best condition possible for j the net schedule that is facing him this season. i The high school is getting behind their team in great shape after the! f Lowing they have made against the! two onnnnf-nts mrt thus fnr this a! son. Although they were defeated by the Shelby ville representatives the fine defensive game played shows that they have the ability to develop into one of the strong representative teams of the Richmond high school. Brownsville High Five Whips Fast Boston Team BOSTON, Ind., Dec. 27. Brownsville high school scrapped through a 10 to 9 victory over the fast Bo.ton high, school quintet on the local floor last Thursday night in what was described as the fastest and cleanest game of the season.

Shortly after the beginning of the second half Boston forged ahead to a' .".-point lead, and held a slight edge until the Jst 30 seconds of play; ' A field goal which was crowned with horseshoes gave Brownsville the final edge. The ball, thrown by a Brownsville player, struck another player's elbow, bounced to the backboard and dropped through the basket. Boston (f) Brownsville (10) H. Dils F Bell Duke .'

Dec. 27. Indianapolis will see two of the biggest athletic events of the season on Oct. 29, 1921, when Indiana university and Notre Dame meet in their annual football game at Washington park, and Wabash and Butler play at Irwin Fie'd. Since Purdue will have finished its 1921 chance at Notre Dame on Oct. 35, the Indiana-Notre Dame game will probably be the contest to decide the state football title which Notre Dame now holds. Butler and Wabash appear to be two promising colleges in a football way. Wabash confident of unusual strength, hag arranged for a heavy schedule including a game with the Army. Butler's rise this last season under the miracle man, Pat Page, was the sensation of Hoosier college football and since but three scrubs will be lost by graduation and the varsity will be intact, Butler has high hopes. Besides the traditional games with Earlham, Franklin and Rose Poly Butler is plan ning to bring Wittenberg, secondary, champions of Ohio, for a return game.1 There are also reports that Page is scouting for a game with a big eastern team and some eleven of Big Ten cali- j ber in the west. Butler will have nine games, seven of which will be at home.

Minnesota's 1920 Season Is Without Parallel (By Associated Press) MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.. Dec. 24. Minnesota's disastrous 1920 football season, when it lost its six "Big Ten" games, was without parallel in Gopherdom, a diligent searcn or the athletic records, reveals. Dr. H. L. Williams has coached Minnesota at football for 21 years, including the season just closed, and in that time Minnesota elevens have played 162 games, winning 129, losing 29 and tying 6. This is a percentage In that-time Minnesota scored 4,601 points to her opponents 693, and in one year, 1904, her season's county was 727 to her opponents 12. That year the onhers counted 146 points in a game with Grinnell (Iowa) college, which was held scoreless. This is the Gopher high water mark for , single game in 21 years. Up to 1920, only four teams had scored more than 20 points on a Gopher eleven, and the worst beating Minnesota ever received was at the hands of Chicago, in 1908, when the final count was 29 to 0. No other team has scored that many points against the Gophers. In the season just closed, two teams counted more than 20 points against Minnesota Iowa led with 28 points, and Indiana got over with 21 points. Golf Stick Prices Higher Next Seasori (By Associate-'", Prp'p.) BOSTON, Mass., Dec. 27. Higher prices for golf sticks next season i.i the word which lie professional golr'ers who make them are civing players for discussion at. the 19th' hole this winter. Shafts and heads alike have advanced they say, the increased cost of the materials amounting to SO cents. How much the golfer-consumer will be asked to pay by the professionals who get the parts in the rough and turn is uncertain, but they are sure he will pay more than last season. Scarcity of hickory is given as the iea?or for the increased price of shafts. Golf supply houses have men i ;n the ne!d constantly seeking new h-ourees of supply and experimenting with substitutes but without appreciable results to date. There is a possibility that the indiidual experiments of Dr. W. G. Kendall, a local golfer, may develop a substitute in a wood used by natives on tho banks of the Amazon for making bows and arrows. Dr. A. Hamilton Rice, the explorer, brought to Dr. Kendall trom his recent trip to South America three pieces of wood of clublength, each of which will make 10 or a dozen shafts. The wood has a close fibre similar to that of betha-berra from which expensive fishing rods are made. Dr. Kendall, who has tried osage orange wood from Texas, green heart from New York state and other varieties as substitutes for hickory, intends to try out several shafts of in? new wood in hope that it will prove available. Outside the larger cities there are no existing speed limits for automobiles in Argentina. ' GOOD FURNITURE Can be bought here for less Weiss Furniture .

Mac Naughton Cup Goes to Amateur Hockey Champs (Bv Associate;! Press) HOUGHTON, Mich. Dec. 27. The MacNaughton cup is now officially recognized as emblematic of the tmateur hockey championship of the United States At. a meeting of officials and club representatives of the American Amateur Hockey association held here, it was decided to place the trophy in the keeping of three trustees, who are to have final disposition of all questions affecting its future. The trustees are John T. MacNamara. Houghton; James T. Fisher. Calumet, and W. L. Murdock, American Soo. If the cup is won by a Canadian team affiliated with a league made up mostly of American teams, it may be held by thatCanadian cluo and no other foreign club may ch? lenge for it.

The cup is now in St. Paul, but will be taken over soon by tho trustees.

The Capital City five is slated as being one of the fastest aggregations on the independent card this year. The local team, tinder the guidance of Captain McBride and Manager O'Neil is putting in some hard practices trying to get in the best condition possible for the contest. The game should draw the heaviest of any independent game this year and the future of the American Legion games will depend a lot on the showing made against this team. Music will be furnished by theAmerican Legion band under the direction of Professor Maddy. This has become one of the attractions of the independent games. The Legion lineup probably will be composed of O'Neile and Porter, forwards; Simmons, center; McBride and Bertsch, guards. This is the samo team that started the game against Muncie two weeks ago which resulted in an easy victory for the locals. All of these men are experienced on the basket court and will put up a good game against any team. They will have to work to their limit to bring the long end of the score along with them Wednesday.
