LEGION BASKET GALL IS ANSWERED BY 14 First call for candidates for the American Legion basketball was answered by 14 men Tuesday night in the legion rooms. Many men who are planning to try for the team were unable to attend this first meeting. No practice was held. The men were given a talk by Coach Mowe as to prospects and plans for a successful team this winter. He will be unable to give more than one night a week to the team for practice, but the one night should prove very valuable to the ex-soldiers' team. The first practice will be held Monday nlerht. the nlace to be announced later. It 13 planned to have two prac-J tices a week until after the season is well under way, so as to get the men in he best possible condition. Manager Vogelsong stated that the plan is to have the first game of the season, Friday, Nov. 25. The opponents for this game have not been selected. Competition for berths on the team is going to be very great this year, as there are about 15 good men trying out for the team. No candidate will be sure of his place at any time. Nothing but the best teams in Indiana and Ohio will be played by the legion. The fans will have the privilege of seeing some of the best basketball teams in this section of ihe country in action. Such teams as the Em Roes, Indianapolis Elks, Mooresville Elks, Ft. Wayne K. of C, L. B. Harrison of Cincinnati, Flying Aces of Dayton, Dayton Triangles and' Detroit Rayls will be seen here. NOTRE DAME AT TOP OF STATE GRID HEAP INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 2. Although the football season has just passed the half-way mark there is no longer any doubt that Notre Dame is the outstanding eleven in Indiana. The South Bend collegians have an airtight claim on the state title, having defeated Indiana and Purdue, the two Hoosier members of the Big Ten, and some of the strongest secondary teams by decisive scores. The remainder of the season in this state will be devoted to determining what team ranks next to Notre Dame. At present three teams Indiana, DePauw and Wabash are in a position to claim this honor, none of them having been defeated by state teams save Notre Dame. The contests scheduled for Saturday will offer no assistance in ranking the state teams as all of the games are interstate or intersectional. The schedule of the Hoosier elevens follows: Chicago Y. M. C. A. and Butler at 'Indianapolis. James Millikin and Wabash at Crawfordsville. Dayton University and Earlham at Richmond. Northwestern and Turdue at Lafayette. Notre Dame and Army at West Point. Rose Poly and Misouri School of Mines at Rolla, Mo. DePauw and Illinois at Urbana. Ohio State alumni living in and near Chicago, are making big preparations for the coming clash between the Buckeyes and Chicago at Chicago, Saturday. Motion pictures of the Michigan-Ohio game will be shown at a smoker to be held Friday night. Coach Jack Wilce and members of former Buckeye teams will . make , fchort rpeechps.

HIGH SQUAD IS ABLE TO BAFFLE SECONDS OF QUAKER ELEVEN High school grid warriors met the Earlham seconds on the college campus Tuesday evening for a short scrimmage. The field was bo wet from the rain that the teams were forced to combat on the "green". Coach Stenger did not work his men hard, but they worked several plays on the "yearlings" which proved that they could go through college second teams as well as high school squads. By changing the signals, the high school squad was able to baffle the seconds and score at frequent intervals. Stenger dealt with the technicalities of the offense and drove his men to prepare for the coming tilt with the Decatur "Hi" squad Friday afternoon, on Reid Field. Sam Green is expected to be the main cog in driving through the line for an emergency gain in Friday's game and his toe will drive the punts far down the field into the enemy's territory. Jack Mattox has been playing a stellar game at center this year, having filled the position last year without much difficulty. He has proven Invaluable on the defense and his ability to snap the ball at the right time has always been at the best. Decatur "Hi" will come to Richmond well armed for the battle, having scouted the Red and White when they met Bluffton three weeks ago. Little information was realized from the game at Bluffton, due to the fact that the locals kept their plays well under cover. Decatur trimmed the Red and White last year by a comfortable margin and their intentions are to repeat. Coach Stenger and his entire squad assure the local fans a real exhibition of football Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock. They are determined to win the game and keep their Indiana record clean for the season. Hinh School Editorial High school students should realize the importance of rousing enthusiasm for the coming game with Decatur, Friday afternon on Reid field. Inasmuch as the high school authorities have consented to dismiss school in time for the students to witness the game, which starts at 3 o'clock, the entire student body should turn out and form an enthusiastic parade to the field at Earlham. A winning team Is a luxury, indeed, now-days, and no student body can ex press its appreciation in a better way ! mau iu uu me siuipie uuiy or turning out in a body to let the men on the team know that there is a winning stud?nt body behind them to Insure the winning of the game. Athletic teams which have represented the Red and White during the past few years, have become, more or less hardened to the habit of going through a season with just the usual amount of enthusiasm which Is dished out by some of the under classmen of the senior high school. Through some miracle or unseen encouragement, the present football team has stepped up game by game and Is now rated as one of the strongest in the state cf Indiana. Athletes Plucky Why has athletics taken such a jump in the high school? ask many students and outsiders. The whole thing is soluble due to one fact, that is, that the athletes themselves have stuck to the business of making a football machine which would stand out by itself in a class which could not be denied. Regardless of the spirit of the student body, the members of the team have gone through the "every night practices" and the results are no" discernable. The coach has been one who has given his whole heart to the work of doing his best to make the squad what it should be. and the fact that he is the friend of every man on the squad, explains his success. Lcok for Improvement The spirit shown toward the football team thus far has been of fair type, but. look back and see where you could have done this and that which would have put a much better spirit into the hearts of the athletes. Student body! If after you have have been dismissed from your classes on Friday afternoon, you would only overcome your pride and line-up for a big parade, led by the band, and march down the Main street of the city to the field, the whole thing would not only instill pep and hope into the football men, but it would serve to let the rest of Richmond know that our high school has a football game going on, and that she is supporting her team.

Babe tore himself away from e hunting party at the home of Herb Pe. nock. Red Sox pitcher, at Westchester, Pa., to complete irrangements for the tour, which will last 20 weeks and add $60,000 to Babe's purse. BOSTON SEASON OPENS WITH GREEN'S FORK BOSTON, Nov. 2. Boston Independent basketball team will open its basketball season Thursday night at Boston against the strong Green's Fork basket aggregation. Boston has practically the same team In the field as last season and prospects for a successful season are bright. The team will be composed of Miller and Ballenger, forwards: Samuels, rpntpr- T)flv?s and Dils at the euard positions. Kitchel, Alvey and Elmer Miller compose the remainder of the squad. Dils is the only new member on the team this year. He was a member of last year's high school team. With Dils at guard the team will have a very dependable man to guard their basket. The management would like to book games with any team In this section, to be played at Boston or away from Boston. L. C. Ballenger is manager of the squad this year, and is arranging one of the stiff est schedutes that a Boston team ha3 ever played. Chips and Slips Charlie White, Chicago lightweight, has received an offer from a syndicate in Seattle, Washington, for five fights on the west coast. White probably will accept the offer. Chick Harley has finally rounded into shape and the prospects fof the Decatur Staleys should take a decided boost with the famous Ohio star in the best of condition. It takes some time for Harley to round into shape for the season, and he think3 he is now fit The Betsy Ross and the Atlas teams engaged in a battle royal in their first game of the Community Service league on the Y floor Tuesday night, the Betsy Ross team coming out on the long end of a 21 to 19 score. Members of the Motorcycle club found Hank Harding a hard man to get around, the Cycles connecting for only one field goal. Hank was always in the way breaking up many of their plays. The Dayton Triangles will not play at Dayton next Sunday, the team going to Canton, where they will stack up against the famous Canton-Bulldogs. The following Sunday the Triangles J will play tha Detroit Tigers at Triangle I nark.

WESTERN LIST Four of Iowa's stars. Left. "Duke" Slater, giant negro tackle. In center, Lester Belding, -star end; eenter(below), Gordon C Locke, fullback. At right, Aubrey Devine,jquarterback, hurling a pass. When a team trounces the powerful Notre Dame eleven 10 to 7 one week and the very next Saturday trounces Illinois 14 to 2 it it going some. That is only par of Iowa's brilliant showing this season. The Iowa City institution is making bid for Big Ten honors this year. On paper the remainder of Iowa's opponents do not appear as formidable as either Notre Dame or Illinois. THREE GAMES REMAIN ON QUAKER SCHEDULE; DAYTON ELEVEN NEXT Three more games remain on the Earlham football schedule. Next Saturday the C&aicers meet the Dayton university " eleven, next Friday Muskingum college and on Thanksgiving day the final contest of the season will be held with Franklin. All the remaining games are to be played on Reid rield. While Mowe's team has won only one game so far, all of the contests have been against strong aggrega tions of exeprienced players, and they themselves have been gaining experience right along. With even breaks they should be able to cope the remaining struggles. Their best game of the season so far was with Butler In which they held the Bulldogs practically scoreless for the first half. Next Saturday's game with Dayton university, will, however, not be any walk-away. Coach Mowe, who has seen the Daytonians in action this year, declares that they are the Quakers equals. "They will outweigh as 10 pounds to the man," he said. He expects the game to be hotly contested. Men Are Tired The Earlham team came out from the Kalamazoo fray in good shape but will not take any heavy workouts this week, according to Mowe. Tuesday evening the squad listened to a black board talk on the tactics of the Dayton eleven, and then went through some limbering up exercises. Most of the men wht. made the trip were suffering from the efects of loss of J eep and the muddy condition of Reia .leld made any practice there impossible. Earlham authorities have announced that the date of the annual homecoming and therefore the date of the Earlharn-Muskingum football game has been changed to Friday, Nov. 11. The game was to have been played on the 12th, but the fact that Friday was Armistice Day and the American Legion was scheduled to play its game then caused the change. The Legion pairia will be nlaved first at 1:30 p,m. Admission to both games will be 50 I cents.

TEX MAY FALL DOWN IN ENTHUSING PUBLIC OVER WILLARD MATCH By FRANK C. MEXKB ' Tex Ricjcard persists in the effort to jam a Jack Dempsey-Jesa Wlllard battle upon the front pages of the longsuffering newspapers. Rickard's judgment as to matchmaking has been sustained in the past with quite a ' few successes and only one signal failure, ut the old saying about .."going to the well once too often," might come true if he tries to put on a tilt between the mauling son of Utah and the slow moving, slow thinking and aged Kansan. In the past it was ever possible to "smoke ' up" enthusiasm over the heavyweight, matchmaking ventures of Richard. Clever press agenting and shrewd "building up" always resulted in getting the natives so steamed' up over the affair that they went to the battlefield in droves and Rickard was credited with another success. But "smoking up" a return clash between Dempsey and Willard is something entirely more intricate and difficult than that involved in the Jeffries-Johnson battle, the mixup be tween Willard and Moran, the Battle of Toledo and the Dempsey-Carpentier fracas vastly more difficult. When Jeff was coaxed out of retire ment to meet the negro, everyone In the world figured that Jeffries at his best could have won with ease. Likewise everybody knew that he wasn't at his best. But the "smokers-up," con ceding that Jeff wasn't quite the Jeff or old, sort of bamboozled the public into believing that he had come back strong enough to have a fighting chance against the golden-molared negro. But he didn't Couldn't Do It When Willard was matched with Moran it was quite simple to figure out how Moran had a chance to win. It was 6tated then that Willard was little more than a lucky champion and that Moran could hit hard enough to drop the giant if he landed solidly. So the crowd turned out to see if he could do it which he couldn't. There was, of course, good reason for the matching of Willard and Demp- j sey. The younger, shorter man had annihilated all the "logical contenders" and had earned the right to battle for the crown. So the "build ing up process was quite simple. And, when thematch with Georges Carpentier was made, it lookedlike a "shoo-in" for Dempsey. But the "builders up" got busy and wove such a shroud of mystery around the Frenchman that 90,000 persons became curious enough to pay from $5 to $50 for the privilege of satisfying that curiosity. But what process can be used with reference to a return battle between Willard and Dempsey that will stimulate the public to a point where it will go into a frenzy for the privilege of paying out money to see it? Never Whipped Good Man. Willard never whipped a good man in his lifer and took beatings from a half dozen. He was, at his best, just a clumsy, awkward fellow who depended upon bull strength to win for him. He went up against a great fighter in Toledo and was pounded into the goriest pulp that ever was gazed upon in prize ring regalia. He was nothing but a huge punching bag just about Jie softest mark that Dempsey ever fought in his life. Every hour since then has harmed Willard. For as age creep-' into his frame, rusting his Joints, fattening his muscles, it robs him of even the little ability he knew in 1919. He'll be nearing 39 if Dempsey battles him again an age years ana yet morei years beyond a gladiator's prime. Willard hasn't fought in two years and perhaps has forgotten what little he knew about the art of fisticuffing. The easy life he has led since then has harmed him, it would seem, beyond a point where he would have more than a miracle chance to win. And so it is difficult at this juncture to reason put what form of hocuspocus could be used to make even a gullible public think that "Dempsey vs. Willard in 1922" would be other than a workout for the champion.

Seventeen prisoners confined on Blackwell's island have volunteered to give their blood for transfusion operations on charity patients at City hospital whenever such operations are deemed necessary. The list of volunteers was headed by John T. Hettrick, who was sent to prison as a result of the building graft exposures of the Lockwood investigating committee. A letter containing the offer points out that transfusion operations seldom are resorted to in charity cases because of the high fees demanded by those who make a business of giving blood.

PROPOSED STADIUM -DISCUSSED BY ILLINI " Talks on the different features bf the ' proposed new stadium for the University of Illinois, songs, anecdotes and. recollections of college days wero heard at the Tuesday eight meeting of the Illini in the Richmond district, called to discuss the erection of the stadium. Some lively songs furnished by Harry Frankel also were 'much enjoyed. Although the new stadium will accomodate 100.OO0 and will be built in a city of only 30,000 population, it will not be too large, speakers stated, pointing out that enrollment has doubled twice in the last-few years, and that twice as many as could be accomodated were turned away from the last big game. With a capacity of 61,000 the chairman stated that the Yale Bowl has been found too small for all who wish to atend games. With an enrollment of over 8,000 Illinois col eg authorities are : preparing for 20,000 within 10 years. Julian Smith, '21, described the eo thusiasm of the students when they pledged contributions last spring, and E. D. Turner, 12, of Eaton, explained the memorial features of the stadium.
