WABASH AGAIN
PROVES CLASS
•Super Five’ Repeats Victory
Over Butler, With Adams
in Starlight Role.
By a Staff Correspondent.
CRAWFORDSVILLB, Ind., Feb. 22
The Wabaßh College ‘‘Super Fire" gained
a more decisive advantage oTer Butler of
Indlanapolia In basket-ball last night
when the Scarlet quintette defeated the
Blue and White, 34 to 25, on the Wabash
floor.
The result of last night’s contest does
more than clear the Wabash-Butler ar
gument, it shows the superiority of the
passing game over distance shooting.
Hooker, Leslie and Jones were firing
from the middle of the court last night,
and several of their shots that did not
disturb the meshes came close enough
to thrill the crowd, but Adams, Goids
terry and Burns were earning their short
shots with a remarkable bit of passing
end dribbling and they came through
best In the long run.

NIGHT FOB “CAT."
“Cat" Adams was In there lest night
playing the brand of basket-ball that
has made him famous with Hoosier fans,
and to '‘Cat" goes the Individual honors
of the evening. “Cut" was a marked man
in the opening Wabash-Butler scrap st
Indianapolis last week and he didn't
seem to care much about getting the
“buckets" in that scrap, but last night he
had the Blue and White boys down where
he could do plenty of bis much-talked ot
speeding, and be certainly cut loose with
all of his old stuff.
Adams caged seven field goals, and
every one of them was from under the
basket. He was usually down at the
hoop to take the ball after a Scarlet
pass drive, and also on several occa
sions he went out and got the ball to
dribble through the entire Butler team
to gain his favorite shooting spot. Be
sides getting the points Adams played
a bang-up game on defense, dashing
around after the Indianapolis goal getters
to make them get their shots off with
out a second's hesitation. Goldsberry
registered sis points from the field and
the same number from the foul line.
BROWN SHOWS
WELL FOR HI TLER.
Brown and Hooker were the bright
lights of the Butler combination. Brown
kept the Pagemen In the running dur
ing the first session with two field goals
and four fouls He was the only Butler
man who could hit consistently during
this Session, Hooker and Leslie making
one goal each, and missing countless
shots. Hooker, however, found his eye
In the last half and tossed in four from
far away. Leslie got another field goal
In this period, and Brown got two fouls,
being taken out for a time shortly after
the half opened, and sent back in before
the close.
Grater moved tip a notch or two In the
line of back guards for bis work la the
game last night. The fighting goal ten
der made it useless for Butler to fol
low-ln after their distance shots, because
he had the ball off the back-board and
started back before anybody could get
near him. He also ruined what few
attempts the Pa~e athletes made to come
down under the basket for shots. Hooker
and Leslie tried occasionally during the
second session, but Grater usually took
the sphere away from them or made them
shoot with nothing on the ball.
Tee line-up and summary:
Wabash (34). Butler (25).

BCTLER-WABASH VOTES.
The first and second sessions opened
alike. Goldsberrv opened the game with
a free throw and Brown came back with j
the same thing a few seconds later. In j
the second half “Goldie” again caged a
free one and Brown came right back with
his free effort.
Brown made the longest shot of the
game and one of the longest that has
been made on the Wabash floor. He
stood about ten feet behind the center
ring and sent one sailing threw the net
without touching.
A special car carried a small army of
Bntler students and supporters to' the
scene of battle. The cheering of both
sides was very creditable. ,
Bntler Is the longest shot team that has
tackled Wabash this season. Hooker.
Leslie and Jones were firing from almost
Impossible positions, and the longer the
try the better Coach Page seemed to
like it.
Thom acknowledged the applause given
upon his entry Into the game by drib
bling down the floor for a field goal in
record time.
Leslie pulled his favorite (Jiving stunt
on the tfp-off, but there was something
in the Scar't-clad crowd around the
center ring that seemed to check his rush.
Adams showed ’em that he still Is the
same old speed-eater, and the "experts”
are going back to take another look at his
ail-State credentials.
Taken as a whole, the game was not
as exciting as tbh’Butler-Wabash affair
la Indianapolis.
Wallie Mi idles worth, Helnle Goett and
Ed Dlederich- former Indianapolis high
school players, now in Butler uniform,
ran into an old buddle, George Selden
stieker. after the game. George is a
basketeer, but au injured knee, received
in tootball at Wabash, kept him from
going out for the Wabash hardwood
team.
The fans who watched Goldsberry get
around the court last night did not
realize the handicap the star was play
.ine under. Suffering from a severe cold,
“Goldie” was in no condition for basket
ball. but he was needed and went In un
til his team had the game practically
won. Thorn, who took Goldsberry's place,
also is handicapped by an injured knea.
EARLHAM AND DEPACW.
RICHMOND. Ind., Feb. 22—Coach
Mowe. Earlham mentor, spent last
night’s practice perfecting the Quaker
defense to stop the onrush of the De
Pauw basket eager* when they clash
with the local college eleven here to
night.
The Tigers have one decision over the
Maroon and White, gained on the Green
castle floor. The sting of this defeat
rankles on the minds of the Quakers
and the Earlhamites are on edge to
avenge the early season drubbing.
The Earlham line-up probably will be
the same one used against ‘ Wabash,
namely, Lawler and Hall, forwards!
Carey, center, and Goar and Johnson,
guards. Johnson, regular back guard,
has been out for some time with an in
jured arm. The injury has healed to
such an extent that Conch Mowe was
able to use him for a short time in the
Wabash fracas. It Is thought he will
have recovered sufficiently to play the
entire game tonight. .

RETIRING M’CKAW IS YEARLY YARN
By HENRY FARRELL.
United Press Sports Editor.
NEW YORK, Feb. 22. —Retirement of
John J. McGraw as manager of the New
York Giantß has been an annual prod
uct of the winter dope box for years.
When McGraw took Christy Mathew
son back from the Reds it was inter
preted as a step back from participation
In the game.
When Pat Moran Joined his forces It
seemed sure that ho would give up the
wheel of the club. Finally, when he
picked up Johnny Evers and gave him
a job It was all decided that the Trojan
would be the next leader of the clan.
Now Hughey Jennings comes. Tho
others have all gone. Despite the his
tory of the other cases, New Yorkers
cling to the belief that McGraw is try
ing to get away from the club. He ap
peared very little on the field after the
spring -start last season, leaving the bulk
of the leadership on the shoulders of
Evers. And he made no mistake In his
confidence.
McGraw' as part owner of the club
and the Havana track, should be far
away from financial worries, and after
his long swing down through a score
of seasons he should be getting fed up
on the game.
‘‘You’ll get tired of asking me that
question some day. I’ll be right on the
Job next season," McGraw said when
asked about retirement rumors before he
went to Cuba recently.
STRYKER AND
VOYLES SIGN
Sterling Stryker and Virgil Voyles,
pitchers, got In the Tribe fold Monday

S-ryker will not go with the main squad
to the Tribe camp, but he has assured
Hendricks that he will not bo more two
days Lte in reporting.
Stryker did not get to showr his true
worth here last fall because of the short
time he was with the Indians. He
pitched good ball with San Antonio be
fore becoming a Hoosier. Previous to
that he waa with Toledo.
Voyles formerly hurled for the Indians
and International League clubs, and
though ho was not aa active leaguer
last season, he believes he possesses the
necessary stuff to win a regular berth In
the American Association. He will get
the chance at any rate and his ambition
mav enable him to deliver In Class AA
style.

be fine and dandy again. But, of course,
the Boilermakers are going to face the
Suckers on the short end of the dope.
If the Illinois athletes repeat their
recent performance of beating Purdue on

'Chicago and Minnesota are the other
Big Ten teams to swing into action this
evening. They are to square off for bat
tle on the Minneapolis floor, with a
mighty small portion of the odds leaning
toward Minnesota's side of the case.

this season, then slumped and are now
trying to get back in the old form, Pur
due followers are saying “wait, they’ll
come back to their old game ” But.
there Is no more waiting to be done If
Hootderdom Is to get any honor out of
the big scrap.
Indiana is now trailing Illinois In the
percentage column, and If the Suckers
thump Purdue this evening, then noth
ing but an unbroken losing streak can
keep Illinois from winning the title, be
cause they play four more games after
tonight, whereas Indiana play* two.
Wisconsin cooked the Ohio State goose
last night. The game was played on the
Columbus floor and ended with Wis
consin flashing a 42-point total, against
