Carpentler - Dempsey Plans
Chief Topic in Conferences
in New York This Week.
KEARNS REACHES SCENE
\ /
By JACK TFJCOCK. %
International News Sport* Editor.
NEW YORK, Jan. 31.—Important de
velopments concerning the Dempsey-Car
pentier championship match are expected
this week.
Tex Rickard and William A. Brady
are scheduled to meet to discuss the
status of the Brady-Cochran end of the
promotion of the bout.
jJack Kearns, manager of Dempsey,
srtis due here today from the West, and
will confer with Rickard regarding
Dempsey’s matches with both Carpentler
and Willard.
The otitcome of these conferences will
be awaited with interest. It is now
rumored that Brady and Cochran may
remain In the "swim" with Rickard.
Cochran, at least, will hesitate to pull,
now that s7oo.oooshas been offered for the
bout by a syndicate In Montreal, and
Brady may remain on-Ahe ‘'fence" for a
while longer.
There is an outside chance that the
boxers may be Induced to "come down"
In their demands and in view of public
sentiment this would be a popular move.
The dispatches from Montreal, quoting
Charles FI Graham to the effect thflt
Rickard has asked him to stprt prepara
tions for staglffg the bout in'Canada, in
dicate that the New York promoter is
highly enthusiastic over the $700,000 offer
of the Canadian syndicate.
Rickard, it Is said, now feels confident
that If Graham and his associates can
secure permission from the Canadian
government to stage the fight he will be
able to Iron out ail other difficulties.
Something in the way of a definite an
nouncement regarding the Wills rd-
Dempsey match should also be made dur
ing the week. Rickard haa not called
the match off. nor has he definitely de
cided to move up the date from March
17. But he has not notified the New
York State hosing commission of his In
tention to stage the bout.
Jack Kearns Is known to be dubious
regarding the financial success of the
bout, now that a limit of sls on admis
sion has been set for championship tights
and may bring about a hitch in Rick
ard’s plans. Willard is on record to the
effect that he will gamble with the pro
moter.
ROPER VS. ROBERTS.
NEW YORK, Jan. 31.—80 b Roper,

Against Muncie Normal
Quintette Friday Night
Following a victory by a 20-to 12 S'-ore
©vr the Culver Military Academy team,
the Indiana Dental College basket ball
players today atarted practice for tliclr
game with the Muncie Normal team,
which will be played at the Sbortridg#
High School gym Friday night.
The DentaU, in the Culver game, had
a defense which the Cadets failed to solve,
but the goal shooting of the Tooth
Duller* was off form. The half ended
with the Dentals leading, 10 to 6. In
the entire game the Culver team made
but one close-up basket, the other five
field goals being on long shots from the
center of the floor. The Dentals bom
baifted the goal from all angles in the
last half, but it seemed that they could
not make the ball stay.
Witter and Mathew, the Dental guards,
kept the Culver offense far up the floor
and long shots by Adams ana Schramm
featured the Cadets' offense. ’ Dea Kyue,
McPherson and McVaugh did the Den
tals’ scoring and worked the ball close
up to the goal time and again only to
mlas what appeared easy shots. The
Dents scored nine field goals arid two
foul goals. Culver scored six field goals
and no foul goals.

who today wired the follow,ng to Jack
Curley :
“Your actions in barring Lewis’ bend

Net Game Rougher Than
Football, Gridists Say
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 31.—Like
“Chi;” Harley, Ohio State’s firat All
American football luminary, “Hoge’'
Workman, a star quarter hack of the 1920
Birr Ten, football champions, vows he'd
rathtr tnlpe bumps on the gridiron than
on a-£>nsket-bsll court.
A year ago Harley set out to win his
fourth major letter at Ohio State on the
court. He got more than his share of
the bumps and soon declared basket bail
wss rougher than football. He stuck to
it, however, and won his “O.”
Workman, considered as excellent
basket material, backs up Harley’s state
ment. It takes more energy and a lot
more wind, he declares.

M. Thornberry (Valley Mills).—Guard
The Marion County High School Ath
letic Association basket-hull champion
ship tournament at Tomlinson Ilail Fri
day and Saturday showed five little fel
lows from Valley Mills superior by far
to any combination in this vicinity, In
dianapolis schools excepted, in the popu
lar winter pastime.
Although smaller phyaleally than any
combination they faced in the tournament
play, the lads from the Valley had it on
all of their opponents in playing the gauiV
and stepped up for credit that has been
coming to them all season. The harder
the opposition was the better the Valley
team traveled, which explains the reason
for Cumberland’s 29 to 7 defeat In the
championship battle Saturday night.
PASSING OF
HIGHEST CLASS.
The Cumberland team set a pace
in the early rounds than did the Valley
Mills team and it whs believed that a
real battle would be fought when they
mt in the finals, but the Valleyltes evt
dentally had been holding back for this
contest during the two days of play, be
cause they cut loose at the start of the
big fray and team-worked the Cumber
land crowd to a standstill. The passing
cf the winners was of the highest class
and the Cumberland huskies were power
less before their drive. R. at.d M. Thorn
berrv also played a great guarding game
for Valley Mills to keep the Cumberland
point getters away from th* basket anA,
force them to do their shooting from the
distance.
There are countless numbers of tasks
harder than that of picking tn all county
team after you have the Indianapolis
School players eliminated.
The most essential part of tbe team is
the scoring combination and there Is none
better than that of Lugar and Stewart,
forwards, and McMullln, center, all mem
bers of the championship Valley Mills
team. Lugar and Stewart are a pair of
forwards who get around the floor In
great style and who ring the point bell
from any angle, but are particularly good
under the basket.
STEWART GETS
SEVEN BASKETS.
Lugar was Valley Mills' big scorer nmll
the final game' then he was so closely
guarded that the ball wag fed to Stewart,
who scored seven field goals. McMullln,
as a ceurtr, completely outclassed all op
ponents. He outjumped Witte of Cum
berland in the final game and scored four
baskets from his favorite side line posi
tion. This member of the Valley quin
tette is also a crack free throw tosscr
Tlie team that gave Valley Mills the
hardest light in the tournament was Ben
Davis and the player chiefly responsible
for this close scrap was rrelzee, floor
guard of the Davis team. This youngster
was floor guard on the second ail-sec
tional team of last year, and bids fair to
| cop first team honors this time. He wins
tbe all-county floor guard honors in a
i walk Furgason of Cumberland Is the
; choice for the back guard position. Fur
gasun was used as floor guard by Cum
! berland and played a whale of a game
throughout the tourney, but with both
j Furgason and Frel/ee on the same (earn,
the former would be used to better ad
vantage under the basket.
BRANDT AMONG
HIGH SCO It EttS.
Bon Davis, West Newton, Cumberland
and Valley Mills players cut In for the
second team positions Brandt, Ben Da
Vis center, la shifted to forward and)
Stivers of West Newton is teamed with
{ him. Brandt Is nothing out of the ordt-
Inary ns a pivot man, but he I* the main
cog of the Ren Davis scorers of the
tournament. Stivers carried the brunt of
the West Newton scoring burden and
showed as an expert on nndar-the-basket
j shots. Either of these players could
handle the foul-tbrowing Job handily,
j Witte of Cumberland gets the center
I position. This boy looked like the best
1 pivot man in the county until he stacked

New York Net Stars
Come Tomorrow for
Clash With Em-Roes
Nationals to Serve as Oppo
sition in Locals ’ Final
Home Game.
One of the best basket-ball teams of
eastern Independent ranks will supply
the opposition Em-Roes In their
last home stand on the “Y” hardwood
tomorrow night. The New York Nationals
rank in the eastern field practically on
the- same plane with the famous Buffalo
Oriolejj who swooped down on Indiana
a few years ago and brushed all op
ponents aside. It will be the initial ap
pearance of the Nationals in the Hoogier
commonwealth, but they have explored
western territory before and Buffered
none the worse for the exploit.
It Is rather a unique organization of
basket shooters. The same players have
Worn the colors of the squad until a ma
chine-like combination has resulted. The
youngest man on the team has been in
the togs of this combination for at least
three years and the ones older tn point
of servb-e have been in the company ever
since their college days.
The star of the bunch is the floor
guard, who boasts the record of having
scored in every game over a stretch of
three years of hard campaigning. His
name is Clark, former St. John’s player.-
He Is reputed to be a whirlwind on the
floor arid the teamwork hinges around
him. The other heavy point-maker on
th< crew is the slim center, Schwartz,
who at one time signed to do some
mound work for the Brooklyn Dodgers.
The New Yorkers will come along Just
as the Em Roes are in the correct mood
to hand out to almost any team the neat
est sort of drubbing.
