QUAKERS SHOW MAKING OF VICTORY QUINTET IN WIN OVER DENTALS
Jack Britton Now Confident
of Defeating Mickey Walter
Earlham dropped the Dentals of Indianapolis 39 to 20 Friday night In the ' first home game of the season. " The game was a fight from start to finish but the Quakers held an edge after the first few minutes of play. The Quakers looked good and showed that they had the Btuff to put up a strong
fight and line-up they will face. Although the Dentals already have played several games this season they were unable to hit the fast pace set by the Quaker tossers and were on the tail end of the score most of the
game.
After about three minutes of play
Deakyne started the scoring by drop
ping in a foul goal for the Dentals.
Scott Lane dropped in two for the
Quakers in quick succession and started the lead for the home team. Both teams scored regularly "but the Quakers slowly walked tway to a lead. When the game was about 10 minutes old Assistant Coach Levie, who had
charge of the team in the absence of Coach Move, sent in a string of substitutions. Thirteen men were given a chance to show their stuff and all of them put up a good game. The Quakers started the second half with the same substitutions with which the first period ended and this line-up kept the score in favor of the home quintet by a steady margin. Near the close of the fracas the original line-up went back and piled up an overwhelming lead. Scrap Steadily. Both teams scrapped steadily and the Tooth pullers were still fighting at the close of the game. There was a great deal of accidental roughness but the game was marked by the scarcity of fouls. The home team worked well on both offensive and defensive. Their defense held most of the Dental rushes while the Quakers soon worked into an attack that carried
them into the Dental territory for fre- ' quent shots. The locals were more successful at connecting with the basket than the Quakers were last year and if they may be judged by the showing they made last night the Quakers will put out a better brand of play than last season. The team work was good. It was the fact that, the Quakers worked together rather than playing individual ball that enabled them to break U 1. .t.n Tl ., 1 .1 , f c-1 1 V.
a substantial win. -,.... Dim. Wall
WMWH I I I J O IIVM Sam Green, at back guard, played about the most consistent game for the Quakers. Sam was always there to stop any attempt of the Tooth Pullers to run up the score and smashed up Dental attempts in great style. It was
apparent last night that the floor guard position left vacant by the graduation of Beasley last year will be up to standard this season. Capt. Hadley, at forward, also played a steady game for the Quakers, and connected for two field goals and three free tosses. Hadley scored a point on every free toss given the home team. Hinshaw, Townsend and Lane each dropped in three markers from fhe field.- Iane played "the best game! last night that he-has-ever played for the Quakers and got away with some fast work while in the scrim- , mage. ' Five Freshmen Play Five freshmen went into the fracas
for Earlham last meht and all nlared
strong games, showing that the Quakers will not want for material in coming years. Besides Greene at back guard, Shumaker at center and Wallace and Monger, forwards, showed up strong for the locals, while Hatfield played a good game at floor guard. W. Huff, who was a member of the Quaker squad in 1921, W3S in the scrap .for a large part of the time and showed
some fast playing. Huff went in for Hinshaw in the first of the substitutions and stayed in the lineup the greater part of the game. Stafford at back guard and Gilbert at center worked well while in the lineup. Captain Reeves, at forward, starrel for the visitors, scoring five field goals and being the main- cog in the offense of the Dentals Deakyne was high point man for 'he Tooth pullers, piling up three field goals' and four free tosses. Have Fast Quintet The game last niht showed that the Quakers have a team that can b depended upon to show up well against the best of competition and will furnish soma dood playing for Richmond fans. The strength of th" locals was not, known until last night and some doubted their ability to put out a fast five. The Quakers' have some fast men and a wealth of good material. With a little more time Ocach Mowe should work the squad into one of the fastest outfits in th? ' Quaker class. The Quakers have a hard schedule coming but in the light of the showing they made last night
suouiu come laruugu "ine season in good shape.
Tonight the Maroon and White go to DePauw to stack up against the Tigers. They will have a stiffer fight than last night and will have to show some wonderful ball to down the fast Greencastle netters. Lineup and summary: Earlham 39. - Dentals 20. Lane F...

By FRiXK G. MEXKIi Jack Britton, who announced that he was through with the ring when his welterweight title was passed along to Mickey Walker, has changed hi3 mind about the retirement stuff. He's going to mix it in Philadelphia on Christmas Day with Bobby Barrett "as sort of a warm-up for a return battle with Walker." Jack is reported as feeling extremely confident that if he gets another
whack at Walker he can beat Mickey ;
Into defeat. The world ia considerably peopled with citizenry just now which ever will believe that Britton could haves
whipped Walker in every round of the 15 which constituted their last "fight" ; if Jack only had cared" or been able to make the effort. No one who knows Britton, the ringman, and likewise knows the ability of Walker, ever will believe that Jack was fighting to his absolute limit. There'll always be the thought that if Britton wasn't sick that night in
New York he was under a "heavy pull" as they eay in racing circles. And while those folks incline toward such a conclusion there are others who ask and ask again and yet again: "Who was it that bet a reported $60,000 on Walker to defeat Britton that night; who was it that made such a terrific gambling plunge on a novice to beat a world's champion?" The mitt game is loaded up with funny things; 6trange things,; mysteries and the like. But tier.e's none more complex than that which has to do
with the Jack Brittou-Mickey Walker
fight
As to Walker
It'll be rather Interesting to watch what will happen to Walker when he is
finally turned loose against somebody
worth while in his own division.
Just when that will be nobody
knows. For Walker has been trooping
around with a theatrical outfit, and
seems to love the glare of the foot
lights so much that he's loathe to go
back to his earlier business of fight
ing. ' Walker was something of an in-and
outer mostly outer before he- became champ. Dave Shade, Georgie
Ward, and a few others used to punch
him with much vim and gusto, oth
ers less starry did the same thing. And all of them think they can do it again. Mickey hasn't any outstanding virtue as a champion. He hasn't a definite' knockout kick in either hand. He's fast but no whirlwind. He can box but there are a dozen men in his own division who are as scientific if not more so. Being (young, he can stand up well under punching. But there are a lot of men in the game who can take it much better than Walker. It's possible, of course, that Walker might have developed suddenly before he met Britton and that he caught the veteran on one the the latter's off nights-or when Jack was in no real
-or was It just an exhibition?

CAMBRIDGE NOSES OUT BROWNSVILLE QUINTET BROWNSVILLE, Ind., Dec. 16.
Cambridge City nosed out a 24 to 22 victory over the local team here to
night in the last minute of play. Th? score see-sawed back and forth, and
at no time during the game did either
team have more than a two point lead
The score ' was 23-Z2 favor of Cam
bridge when the fina! gun was sound
ed, but a foul had been called on one
of the Brownsville players about a
second before the game was called.
Cambridge City made the free throw
allowed as the result of this foul.
Brumfield was the outstanding star of the game, connecting with six
field goals besides playing a commend
able floor game. R. Retherford was
the best bet for Brownsville. The
half ended 12 to 10 favor of Browns
ville. Summary: Brownsville (22) Cambridge City (24)

But there's a suspicion and always will be one, unless Mickey proves greatness in his debut as a champion, that his triumph over Britton either was a gift or an accident, (Copyright 1921 By Kins Feature Syndicate. Ine.) MORTON SUBSTITUES
START TEAM ON WAY TO WIN OVER FISHERS
Fishers high school proved to have a basketball team just as strong as it had been heralded, to be when it
faced Morton high school -at the Coli
seum Friday night, and it took Coach
Littles wrecking crw of second di
vision players to get the game started
toward a victory, which finally mate
rialized in favor of Richmond, 41 'to 31. With the score standing 22 to 12
against them at half lime, Fishers be-' gan to "fish" for long shots and produced with enough of this variety to
tie the score at 22 all. At this stage of the battle, Coach Little substituted the entire second string men for the regulars on the floor, much to the consternation of the fans. It proved to be the wisest bit of judgment which has been seen on the local floor in years. Fans were hilarious throughout the second half. Everybody was on his or her toes in anxiety from the time Fishers started its rally at th start of the half until the regulars of Richmond had ' finally run up a winning lead. Outside of tournament time, the display of enthusiasm was the highest which has been seea here for many seasons. Coach Little provided the fans plenty of food for thought when
he successfully handled the game in
an interesting manner. Substitutes Show Class. The second division players com
posed of Romey, Rizio, Jones and Price fought the Fishers team to a standstill for a. time, but finally the visitors were able to obtain a 29 to
26 lead over the .yearlings, who were having a bit of tough luck in basket shooting. The yearlings were getting the ball down the floor much better than the regulars had been doing. With about six minutes of play, the Red and White mentor sent his first
string men back into the frav, one by one, until they were all in the game
and the rally began. The pcore stood
31 to 31, and the uproars of the fans so drowned the referee's whistle that
it was difficult for him to work. Only a few more minutes of play remained. Fishers had been making uncanny long shots at the basket, which had so gracefully put them in the fight, with a team which is considered one of the best in Indiana. The predicament was a trying one, for the fans, who thought their athletes could not produce with the necessary points to win. However, the members of the team became more careful with theh" play and worked the ball down under Fishers' goal four times for short shots. ' Two other points added from the foul line completed the scoring in the game. Muey Works Effectively Muey, Price and Kessler put up battling games for the Red and White five most of the contest. The former player was exceptionally good on unrierhajiket Klinotiner. His form on this
sort of difficult shot was the factor ! Mer?f.rs
