SHOWING FORM
- IN EARLY PLAY
Friday Night Winners Thrill
State Fans With Mid-
Season Speed.
BUTLER STILL GOING
Butler, Indian*, Franklin, Earl ham and
De Pauw were winner* In the collegiate
basket-bell games played In Indiana Fri
day night. Each victory was a decisive
one and the games Indicate that some
merry battles will be fought between
Hoosler rivals when things get going at
full speed.
Butler took a distance Jump toward
the Indianapolis collegiate title by de
feating the North American Gymnastic
Union, 35 to 17, In a contest that gave
Coach Page the opportunity to aave hla
regulars for their game with the South
Bend “Y" tonight Butlar followers are
confident that the city title Is already
theirs, but Coach He*e Clark and hi*
Dental College combination say they
have another thought coming. The Den
tals and Bulldogs play a two-out-of
three series every season, then the win
trier usually turns around and thumps the
N. A. G. U. to clear the city title path.
Butler eliminated the Gymnasts last
night and banded the Dentals a 31 to 2d
trouncing In their first aeries game Tue*
day night. On Jan. 18, the Dentals and
Bulldogs meet In their second contest
on the Y. M. C. A. court. A Butler vic
tory at that time will close the series,
but If the Dents win a third ,game will
be played early la March.
BUTLER GIVES
SUBS CHANCE.
While the Gymnaata went a‘ top speed
all the way last night, 'aey lacked
the teamwork of the Butler quintette
and the contest resulted In nothing more
than a good work-out for Page's crew.
The three Butler regulars who started
the game were Jerked before the half
ended, and the entire Blue and White
varsity was seen In action only a few
moments before the final whistle sounded.
The Butler teamwork was greatly Im
proved last night and the Bulldogs dts
plaved a nifty trick of working the ball
down the floor to a point almost imme
diately under the basket, from where
Hooker or White would drop It through
the net. Bridgeport registered five from
distance for the Physical Eds.
Just a fair idea of how two of our
Hoosler rivals stack up was given wheu
the l>e Pauw Tigers slipped the Indian
apolis Em-Roes a neat 3S to trimming
on the Greeucastle court Tuesday night,
Wabash defeated the Em-Roes. 39 to 17.
on the Y. M. C. A. floor, official stamping
ground of the Green and White ath
letes.
The Em-Roes were short on teamwork
again last night, a department hi which
the Tigers showed remarkably well for
early-season play. The Em-Itoes missed
several chances to score by falling to
work the ball down the court to close
range wheu they had ample opportunity
to do so.
Carlisle, former De Pauw star, opened
scoring for the Em Roes when he got
away w th a nifty field goal from near
'he center of the flloor. He led h.s team
.in scoring, three field goals being checked
up to bis credit.
CANNON M'ORF.S
HI TEEN POINTS.
Cunnoa was the main cog of the I>e
Pauw machine, both on off-use and de
fense. This brilliant player registered
eight times from the floor and seven
from the foul line. The defensive com
bination built around Cannon was *o
fast the Em-Roes were given only a few
shots from close range
When the followers of basket-ball are
looking for a possible Big Ten Confer
ence cnamplon for the season Just start
ing they will do well to keep thejr eyes
wn Indiana University. Not because In
diana defeated the Indiana len:al Col
lege, 37 to IJ. last night, or because lr
dliuiii piled up a -IN to If. score on Ar
ussr-tffrt Wst week, but for the reosrtn
that Indiana realiy has rn exceptional
asket-ball ;e.i;n.
• Toach l.e.vis hr.s the material from
vblch to build a championship aggrega
on. and he s-ems to h- developing the
Crimson and Cream athletes in r style
•f play whi ’ii Is somewhat different from
that in this part of the country.
Marx son and Deborlty are both clever
passing forwards who can hit a basket
if grven only ‘half a chance. Dean ap
e;.rs to lie heavier than last year, but
in; is list good at center and possibly
t • better than last year.
The real strength of ihe Indiana team,
however, centers in two things; first. Its
-trong defense, and second its supply
••f first-class substitute-:. Men who in
Wier years would have been on the var
ity at I.looonngton are tills season in
the third team line-up. Buckner and
Dobbins form a combination of guards
which will be hard to beat, and few
teams will break through for many
scores.
DENTALS HOLD
IN EARLY STAGES.
Credit is due the Indiana Dental team
for holding the Indiana offense for seven
minute- without a score last night. Dur
ing that time, the play of Witter and
Mathew featured. Then the break came
and ndiana solved the Tooth Pullers’
defense, while the Indiana defense al
ways kept the Tooth Pullers from hav
ing many chances to score. McPherson.
Reeve and McVaugh did a bit of clever
passing that resulted in three field goals
and a number of chances to score, but
the bull would not stay put or the shot
was hurried and wild. Tbeu Deakyue
wa.-. cut in and ho twice caged the
ball for the Dentals.
The game was a clean, well played
con si . ; hieh a quintette of big league
caliber received a lot of good practice
in meeting a snappy, fast-passing, hard
working, but Jess experienced and
smaller team that was playing on a
full-sized floor for the first time this
season. Referee I’eezle handled the game
in good style.
The Antioch (Ohio) quinettte failed to
live up to expectations last night and
Coach Ray Mowe's Earlbamites paraded
over them for a 00-to-14 victory at Rich
mond. The game could hardly be con
sidered a good practice session for the
Hoosiers, because Mowe hud to Jerk his
regulars long befoie the first half ended
In on effort to make things Interesting
for the fans. But the scrubs had almost
as much speed as the first-string men.
and the basket bombardment hardly
lulled! The half ended with Earlham
le. >! • 2s> to 2.
—e Earl bam meets the Dental quintette at
mnuud next‘Friday night and Coach
Mowe will have his men hitting even a
harder pace before that time.
Franklin opened the home season with
a rush, defeating the Butler Law quin
tette, 49 to 19. in a contest that was never
in doubt -fter the first few minutes of
playing. The Lawyers put up a fair
ngui ,n the first three or lour minutes of
the going, but after that their defense
cracked and It was easy for the Baptists.
The first half ended with the connt 23 to
14 :■) favor of the Earlbamites. Shaffer
was the best man on the law team, while
i‘i ke and uilmoie went big for the win
ners.
RIPPLE BETTER LAST HALF.
ANDERSON, Ind.. Dec. H. —Anderson
High School defeated Broad Ripple High
here last night. 33 to 18, the visitors be
ing at the local's mercy in tha first half.
In the second period, however, the Rip
pie team "tightened up" and the An-
Vrson players were given a stiff fight.
The count at the rest period was 42 to 8
in Anderson’s favor. In the last session
Anderson scored 11 points to Broad Rip
ple’s 10.
The same line-up was used by the lo
cals as opposed Franklin, M. Williams,
forward, getting ten field goals In the
first half and two in the last. Anderson
lined up with M. Williams, Tltts, Mans
field Oule and McFarland, and Ripple,
Parr, Daubenspeck, Morrison, Boyd and
*Mfeertson.

New Green and White Team 1
to Be Seen in Action
T onight.
One of the blue ribbon high schoo.
basket contests of the season should be
offered on the Y. M. O. A. floor tonight
when Tech and Franklin get together.
The Tech squad has not shown any
1 sensational class this season and there
|ls no doubt but that some fans believe
Coach Black and his athletea are on
i the rocks, but tonight's game may show
where this impression is all wrong.
Black has bean playing scrubs In early
: games with the Idea of giving his hope
fills, most of whom played football, a
chance to rest and get in form for this
came tonight, which is considered one (
. f the most important on the Green and
White schedule.
Nipper. Griggs, Woolcar. Ilnngate. Up
degraff. Wilson and Mills form the squad 1
from which Coach Black will pick his
team for tonight's game, and nobody
but the east side mentor knows which
of these athletes will be on the floor for
the stsrt of festivities. Nipper. Griggs
and Wilson, however, seem to be some
of the surest bets Black has. As for
the others. It's a toss-up among them
The athletes who will represent Tech
on the court for the remainder of the
season hav# been h tiding practice ses
sions all their own for the past several
days and are said to be stepping around
the floor In mid-season form, beating the
early Te> b teem w ithout half trying.
Word from Franklin states that the
.Invader* will be In the best of shape for
a real battle tonight, with but one ex
ception. Grant, star forward of the t<-un.
is said to have suffered a wrenched back
In the "practice game" with Spieelaqd
and It Is hardly possible that he will be
ready to play avnln until late In the *•„
son. However, Franklin has a strong list
of substitutes and there will be no great
drawback in the action of the speedy
quintet.
MANUAL LOSES
HARD FIGHT
SEYMOUR. Ind., Dec. 11.—Manual put
up a great fight, but was shored to tho
bottom side of a 22 to 19 score by Sey
mour here last night In the fastest
game ever staged on n Seymour court.
Both teams played brilliant basket-bail
all the way and tncked up point for
point until the closing moments. The
score at the end of the ha'if wa* 9 and 9.
Keacb. Seymour guard, beat Manual
; with his clever performance from the
foul line, throwing eight free baskets
out of as many attempts. He also drib-
I bled the ball down the floor from his
■ bark position three times to score field
| goals.
The playing of Harold and Emil Har
ijneson again featured for the Red and
White crew. The former was worth flvu
field goals and two counted shots from
the foul line.
S. H. S. FALLS
BEFORE WABASH
WABASH, Inil., Dec. 11.—Wabash
j ripped through the Shortrldge defense
In the second session to wlu Its first
game of the season by an 18 to 8 count
last night. During the first period the
I teams fought almost on even terms, half
i time coming with Wabash fighting hard
to retain an 8 to 5 advantage.
The Shortrldge defense was rather
weak for Just a few minutes shortly after
the second half opened, but during that
time Wabash hurried the ball through
the basket for five field goals and a de
cisive victory. In the late moments
Shortrldge rallied and the teams battled
to a standstill. The visitors lost several
points by their failure to make almost
■ure shots from under the basket.

umber tonight, and It Is evident that a
few of the first ten men will be dropped
before the dawn of another day.
Jess Pritchett and Fred McCullough
have got back on the schedule and are
slated to perform with the 7:15 squad
topight. Fans have been waiting for
these two stars to appear and the gallery
surely will be packed when the veterans
take the alleys.
Last night’s shooters didn’t have any
thing but a desire, and they were not
exceptionally strong on that. There
wasn’t an individual or a doubles com
bination In th lot capable of crowding
up among the leaders In either class.
As was expected, I.onle Dugan and
Ed Quinn set the pace for the doubles
shooters, but they did not have the
necessary elbow grease to put over a
money count. Their total for the three
games was 1,043. GaTln and Moran, an
other pair of “Casey” shooters, regls
tered a 1,029 for second high distinction
of the evening.
Serlng tried hard to get up with the
Mg fellows, but Gerner didn't seem to
like the fast life.
Mentzer galloped off with the one
game honors when he cut loose for a
235 score In his third due effort.
Serlng was the best single shooter,
getting a score of 560 for his efforts.
Ed Quinn trailed right behind the
leader with a total of 552.
N
“Vic’’ Farrell got away to a flying
213 start, but was not worth much after
that. The same little verse holds good
for Fox.
If Dugan had been able to connect
in his middle try he probably would
have horned his way up among the first
ten. His first and third game scores
were of the classy variety.
Don’t worry, boys, 1921 Is another
year.
Local bowlers will be permitted to
make entry for competition i . en

BY HEZE CLARK.
With the return of football to the Hat
of athletic sports in the three Indianap
olis high schools at the start of the 1920
season after the game had been barred
since 1907, the Interest in the gridiron
contests Increased by leaps and bounds.
It was the greatest football season In
the history of the Hoosler high schools.
Th# strength of the Shortrldge, Man
ual and Technical High School teams of
Indianapolis, considering that many of
the athletes had never before played
football, was surprising, nowever, their
experience In track, baseball and basket
ball prepared them physically for foot
ball, and the work of good coaches did
the r**t.
Technical defeated both Shortrldge and
Manual and won the city championship.
Manual defeated Shortrldge by a larger
scoro than did Technical, and Manual
defeated Sheridan, a team that beat Tech.
But both the Manual and Shortrldge
teams were defeated by one-sided scores
when they met the powerful, speedy ma
chine from Wabash High School.
WABASH HOLDS
TITLE CLAIM,
Wabash also defeated Bloomfield by a
wide margin and no team got the nail
closer than twenty yards to the Wabash
ftoal line during the entire season. This
s a wonderful record and Wabash has
a strong claim to the State High School
championship and there are few follow
ers of the game bnt believe that Wabash
hail the beet high school team seen In
Indiana in ii number of years.
Clinton High School lost a game by a
close score to the Robinson (111.) eleven
for the Wabash Valley championship, bnt
that defeat does not hurt Clinton’s bid
for State championship consideration.
However, the only way the strength of
Clinton and Wabash High School teams
can l>e compared Is through the Manual
and the Bloomfield games and thts would
give Wabash a slight advantage in the
claim for State honors.
While It 1* true that a State high
school football championship always will
be a disputed honor, still an All-Indiana

IN BACK FIELD.
The ability of a back field man on of
fense la not the only quality consid
ered and the strength shown by backs
on the defense la an important factor
In selecting the best men. The Times
team has been chosen after the writer
hat seen many of the high school teams
In action, and after he has received a
number of letters from coaches and
managers of the teams, officials, news
paper writers and football fans, not for
getting valuable information supplied by
some of the scouts of tho leading colleges
who looked over the' “prep" fields for
talent.
Ralph Anderson of Clinton, known In
the western part of the State as the
“speed demon of the Wabash valley,” Is
the best quarter back. He Is a power
ful man at all stages of the game, both
on offense and defense, a master of the
forward pass and one of the fastest open
field runners ever seen In tn*“ line-up
of a Hoosler “prep” school. A1 Screes

I HAZIER STATE’S
LEADING RACK.
It hss been a season in which many
fast, shifty back field men appeared
lu the high school lineups, nut the play
of Randall Frazier, the colored athlete
at the Wabash High School, was such
us to make him the first choice among
all half backs. Big. fast, clever and
powerful, a man with a real straight
ar n. n dodging end mi ner, a plumring i
line bucker, a hard tackier on defense
and a man who can pass th# ball equal
to almost any college star, the M abash
player was all that a half back should,
Vv£
Five other half backs performed far
above their terminates and it is difficult
to Choose the best, but Griggs of Tech I
l was w ithout a question the best |
defi*n*lve half and for that reason be;
is given the other first team position.
Griegs also was a fast man at carrying
the ball Wertz, th* man who beat;
Shortrldge In Us game with Manual, and i
Elliott tho Sheridan atar, whoae play;
; rosllv ' gave his team the victory over
Technical, are given second team honors.
Elliott did not play RS J**’* 1 , '
Manual ns he did againut Technical one
reason being that he received an Injury,
' eorlv In the game. „ . . ... ,
i Stickle, the big Clinton back fled star,!
and F. Boor. Newcastle's open 'Uf,
, net. are placed on the third All-State.
Kidd, of Bloomfield, while not with*:
I combination that equaled some of the;
other teams, was without a question the
best full hack In the State. L. Plckel off
Wiley High School In Terre Haute (city
championship team) was close to Kidds
doss. Kilgore, by far the best of the
Indianapolis high school backs, is placed
on the third team LMchty, the Wabash
High School full, la an exceptionally
strong player.
GOOD CROP
OF WING MEN.
1,. Marks, the fast runner of the Wa-;
bash High School team, played both end j
and half back anil was a star at both j
positions. The writer saw him play at |
end and he is one of the best men who >
ever played that position on any team
in the State. Marks is given flrst team;
honors and Payne the tall wing man
of Technical Is the other first team end. j
These men are fast at going down under
punts and also are sure at getting for
ward passes. Woolgar of Tech. Konold
! of Elwood, Beno of Clinton and B. Loudln
i of Blcknell were all star players .at the
wing position. Konold, the Elwood right
end, was strong at handling forward
passes, and ns bis team used more of
that style of offense than almost any
other eleven In the State, he waa of great
value.
There were fewer men of All-State
class playing tackle than there were
playing other positions, but the men who
are placed on the first three All-State
. teams are equal to any who have plnyed
; that position In recent years. Stull, the
Shortrldge star lineman, 1* flrst choice
of ail the tackles. Big, aggressive and |
a sure man on defense, lie has no equal !
In opening holes in enemy lines on of
fense. Kelse, tho Clinton tackle, is close!
to Stull's class and the pair would make
a powerful line combination. Hungate
of Technical and Wundrum of Manual
are given the second team tackle positions.
REICHEL GETS
GUARD JOB.
Two players so far outclassed all cen
ters that they both are placed on the all-
State flrst team. 8. Butler of Wabash,
one of the greatest center men developed
In the State in many years, was better
1 than many college centers and far out
classed all center men except Reichel,
the Manual man. Butler U placed on the
first team t center and Ilafchel is given
a guard position.
W. Dayhoff, Worthington High School’s
190-pound guard, was fnst, aggressive,
well coached and the best guard in the
State. He is put on the first team with
Reichel, while Stowcr, the Klrklln line
man, who plnyed a star game against
Technical, and Mitchell of Shortrldge are
placed on the second all-State squad.
There is no question but that the first
all-State high school selection would
prove to be an evenly balanced tqarn.
and if brought together would be equal
to many college eleven*. At least two
good kickers aye In the first team line-up,
all backs are sure passers, and the team
would be strong on bothe offense and de
fense.

RULING TERMS
Landis Directs Joint Meeting
of Magnates in Outlining
National Agreement.
MINORS ARE PROMINENT
BY JACK Y'EIOCK,
International News Sports Editor.
NEW YORK, Dec. IL—Steps to put
baseball back on a firm foundation and
safeguard the future of the game were
to be taken here today.
Headed by Judge K. M. Landis, new
high commissioner of baseball, the Joint
major-minor committee of twelve, named
during meetings in Chicago and Kansas
City last month, was scheduled to go Into
session at the Hotel Commodore for the
purpose of drawing up anew national
agreement.
Baseball men from all points of the >
compass are here for what Is expected
to be an epoch-making session, and to
attend the annual meetings of the In
ternational and National Leagues, sched
uled for next week.
LANDIS BUGGESTS
CHICAGO SESSION.
Original plans ror a joint meeting of
the two major leagues were somewhat
In the air today following an announce
ment by Ban Johnson in Chicago Frl
duy calling for the annual American
League meeting in the Windy City next
Friday, and Judge Landis’ suggestion
that the National Leaguers go to Chi
cago following their meeting here for a
joint session with the American League
a week from today.
National Le-gue men say it will be
Impossible for the league as a whole to
meet in Chicago, as a majority of the
club owners have already made plans
for the Christmas holidays that cannot
very well be changed at this late date.
Ban Johnson, Pres dent John Heydle*
of the National League and Secretary
John A. Farrell of the National Associa
tion, were to be seen at the committee
meeting. None of this trio, however, will
have a vote.
Important points to be considered by
the joint committee will be the future
form of central government for the gamec
definition of the scope of Judge Landis’
duties as high commissioner and re
establishment of the draft. Opposition
against resumption of the draft Is ex
pected from several minor leagues. The
International League, which meets here
Monday, is said to be divided on this
ques.ion.
Talk of trades and sales among non
memlers of the Joint committee was heard
on the fringe of today's meeting. Many
mini league managers are either here
or on their way to Gotham in search of
players who will be turned back by the
mujor leagues, and a number of deal*
between big league clubs are expected.
COAST rLAY'ERS INDICTED.

the investigation; Karl V. Maggert, ex
outfielder for the Salt Lake club; W. G.

Raymond, alleged gambler, Seattle.
Willis Picked to Win
T Swimming Honors
At the “Y" championship swimming
meet tonight Willis looks good to carty
away the bulk of the honors, although
Darby can win any two of his three
events he selects, and will only be kept
from grabbing off three firsts by the
stiffness of the competition he will ba
up against.
Willis should have an easy time In tha
back stroke, and looks good to taka
the 100-yaul free style event. He can
give Cam plain a good race in the forty
yard event, but has hardly an evea
chance with him. King will push the
field in the 220 and 440-vard free-stylo
events, and Fowler should have thing*
liis own way in the plunge.
Kniptash probably Is the most versatilo
swimmer on the squad, swimming dash,
middle or long-distance free-style and
back-stroke. The Shaffer brothers and
Cliff will handle, the diving event.
The meet will be held In the *Y” pool
starting at 8 o’clock and will be open to
all members and their friends, both mj\
and women. No admission will ba
charged.
