HAIL, Danville Normal! Os the
many college quintets playing
In the basketball domain of Indi
ana, the purple warriors stand
alone in the undefeated class. Rus-
sell Cook, who is a
veteran at the
coaching racket, al
though young in
'•ars. is the hand
that has guided the
Normalites to six
consecutive victo
ries, including a
surprise walloping
of Butler, national
champions. Cook

little school to the

athletics. His foot

six years, and the great hardwood
team of this season represents his
biggest achievement.

A 40-to-lfi victory over the Bulldogs !s
rarity. That's the package the Pur
iiic Warriors handed the Ilinkleman at
Itanvillc recently. Champions from vari
ous conferences in all sections of the
country have strived for such a victory
during the past two vears, and all have
fallen short. In fact, fust two teams.
Chicago and Notre Dame, have been
able to eke out narrow wins over the
Blue five during this period.

When Danville and Butler play their re
turn engagement at the field house next
Friday, the massive Bulldog athletic plant
should be crammed to the rafters. Further
more. after next Friday night, there
shouldn’t be any undefeated college teams
in Indiana.

e~jpO be a hero in a big time game
i is the ambition of every young
athlete, and to be the goat is just
the reverse. But to be both in the
same game is a real variety. “Jump
ing Joe” Zeller, former East Chi
cago prep star, entered the Indiana-
Notre Dame game in the last half,
and enabled the Hoosiers to spurt
into a one point lead by scoring
three field goals. Joe wasn’t satis
fi and. and with forty-seconds to play,
dribbled down the floor for another
fielder. He missed Donovan
passed the ball down to Crowe,
Crowe shot, and Notre Dame won
oy one point.

SOME VIEWS
Dear Be ckboard—Although Washington's
Contincrtala have not been winning games,
they are a splendid bunch of boys. Coach
Jones, with only two regulars from last
year's souad. has developed a small, fast
quintet that is going to cause some trou
ble in the city tournament. I'm picking
•he Washington Hatchets. Tech also will
be there March 15 and 16.
STACOMR OF W. H S.
Proving there are some basketball fans
who boost their own school and still are
broad-minded.
Delphi.
Dear Backboard—Have you been watch
ing the Delphi Oracles. By tournament
time they will be one of the best. The
newcomers are beginning to play like
veterans. Thev are fast, and drive under
the basket hard. This week will provide
the hi rdest test. The Oracles play at
Corneisviile Friday and will get revenge
from Washington of East Chicago here Sat
urday. THE RED SHADOW.
Hotdogtown.
Dear Boxell —Don't worry just because
Frankfort lost Armentrout at badeguard.
There Is a boy who played on our "B''
teem who has filled Curie's shoes, and he
is nobody hut Locke, a 6 foot 3 sophomore.
If Armentrout was good Locke, is excel
lent. Give him a hand.

Columbus, Staples; Anderson. Butler; Con

Shelbyvllle is go.nu strong and held Co

HUNK AND PUNK.
An ex-Shortrldge student writes In to
tell Bari-hoard that he favors the stall
v hen it is employed by a smart team,
like Frankfort. Important games ave
been lost by close derisions Inst be
cause the loser we-en't smart en h
to stall when they held a one or two
point edge, he says.
Frankfort.
Dear Boxell—How Is this for a big four:
Washington. Frankfort, Logan port and
Anderson. Frankfort appreciates the sup
port you have given them. Wc have a
coming star in Locke, backruard.
TRU-BLU.
Dear Boxell—While you were listening to
that Kokomo band, did you notice Tee!
new back guard, "Shots” Campbell? This
is his first year but I think he'll be all
state before the end of the season. See
where Shortridge is planning a surprise
party for Tech in the city tournament.
Tech Is too cool for them. I think it's a
good thing for Rushville. Newcastle and
Richmond that the games vere postponed.
They'll need lots of practice to beat Tech.
•■CHICKIK.”
Dear Backboard—l wish to prophesl? •
that Tech may not be at the Butler field
house this vcar for the simple reason that
they will no, get through the secional. I'm
picking Shortridge to take Campbell's team
out. of the running. There are plenty of
rabid basketball fans who will laugh at the
idea of Shortridge beating Tech, hut the
fathers of these same fans laughed at the
idea of airplanes. EDDIE.
Dear Backboard—We'd like to see some
new pictures of Tech. The Green and
White have lost only one game ar.d that to
Muncie. That coincides with last year.
Remember, watch Tech!
Dear Backboard—Glad to see how \ou
rate the teams in Indiana, but never.he
less, you rate some of them wrong. I
think. For Instance. Horace Mann should
take the place of Martinsville in your
rating as an 8 to 1 shot. And I’ll bet
Kokomo could trim Delphi. Muncie should
be a 10 to 1. Martinsville should be a
17 or 18 to 1 shot. Listen. I wouldn’t be
surprised to see Shortridge beat Tech In
the city tourney. What do you think of
that? WINSOME WILLIE.
Incidentally. Delphi biat Kokomo bv

ONE of the most consistent mem

Allen. Allen went

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
Trade of
Pitcher Is
Predicted
No Change in Holdout
Situation Reported;
Other Gossip.
With baseball fans watching the
holdout situation with acute inter
est, no new developments were re
ported today and the situation re
main.*:, at the same stage it has been
for several days.
The latest holdout Is reported to
be Chuck Klein of Indianapolis, the
Phillies’ great swatting star and
nome run king of the National
League. Indications from the
Quaker city are to the effect that
Klein and O'Doul, National League
batting king, both are holding out
for higher salaries.
Burleigh Grimes still refuses to
let down in his demands for a
$25,000 contract at Pittsburgh and
it Is reported that a big deal may
be made around the star right
hander.
Vance of Brooklyn, Ferrell of
Cleveland and Hoyt and Babe Ruth
of the Yankees still are on the
holdout list also.
Although Ruth and the Yankee
magnates are at odds over the sal
ary fight,, New York sports writers
believe that Ruth will sign shortly
for a two-year contract at a salary
near $85,000 a season.
The New York Telegram, a
Scripps-Howard newspaper, has is
sued the report that Charley Ruf
fing, Red Sox twirler, will be traded
to the Yankees for an infielder,
pitcher and outfielder. Ruffing al
ways has been regarded as a pitcher
of great potentialities, although he
never has jumped into the spotlight
as a star of the first rank.
Ruffing is a hard-hitting pitcher
and he may be converted into an
outfielder. Babe Ruth, also a Red
Sox pitcher, was converted into an
outfielder. Ruth, however, was one
of the star left handed pitchers of
the league.
Walter Simmons, 21-year-old
brother of A1 Simmons, the Ath
letics slugging ace, has been signed
;by the Cleveland Indians. Connie
Mack, manager of the Athletics, is
reported to have made the assertion
he does “not want any brother acts
on my club.”
It was reported today that the
Chicago White Sox have made over
tures to Indianapolis for a young
catcher, probably the youthful
Johnny Riddle.
