BASKET-BALL
EDDIE
ASH
BUMPER CROP
OF GRID STARS
IN ELITE EAST
Seven Teams Represented on
Mythical Eleven Selected
by Veiock.
ALDRICH MADE CAPTAIN
By JACK VEIOCK.
NEW YORK, Not. 21).—Crack football
players were plentiful In the East this
season. Many broke into the spotlight
for the first time. Others upheld reputa
tions previously earned. The crop was
surely a bumper one.
Out of the many stars, it is possible
to select a number of players whose work
stood out consistently all season. The
selections are presented today for what
they are worth. „ „
In the opinion of the writer, the follow
ing elevens are fairly representative of
Eastern football this year:
FIRST ELEVEN.
Sturm, Yale • Em l
King, Navy T ack „ 1 S
Brown, Harvard Guard
Stein, Pittsburgh Center
Breldster, Army O
Into, Yaie Tackle
Snively. Princeton ..... Ena
Killinger, Penn State Quarter Back
Aldrich, tale S a !S sac£5 ac £
Llghtner, Penn State sa!f5 a !f S ac £
Owen, Harvard Full Back
SECOND EEEYEN.
Macombr, Harvard End
Keck, Princeton Tackle
Bedenk. Penn Slate if uar “
Wlttmer, Princeton Center
Baker, Princeton Guard
Kane, Harvard Tackle
p a rr Jjgyy .••••••• iin<i
Bueli, Harvard Qa \V e , r ,
Kaw Cornell Half Back
Rareiiet, Navy Half Back
Garritv, Princeton • - - - Full Back
Malcolm Aldrich. Yale s plucky leader,
was without a doubt the best all-round
half back the East developed this season
and deserves a half back position and
the mythical captaincy of the first eleven.
Aldrich did everything well and no play
er displayed more fighting spirit or
greater leadership.
Glen Killinger. Penn States brilliant
quarter back, who kicked, passed and
ran the ball with equal ability and ran
bis team besides, was the East's beßt
pivotal man. In the back field with
these two, we have placed Ligbtner.
Penn State and Owen. Harvard. Llghtner
was a consistent scoring machine and
Owen knew no superior as a line
smasher.
Sturm of Yale and Snively of Princeton
are placed at the ends. Both played fine
football in every game. They got down
under punts, crashed through Interfer
ence, handled forward passes and “took
out" their men with regularity when
called upon to do so.
Clj de King, Navy’s great tackle, and
Into of Yale, were powers In the line.
So were Breidster of Army and Brown
of Harvard, while Stein, Pittsburgh's
veteran center, was better than ever.
Tt i writer believes this eleven conld
with time for practice, defeat any other
Eastern combination.
There were many other players whose
work stood out boldly. Such players
were Robertson, Dartmouth's half back;
Wray, Penn's quarter back: French of
the Army, Jordan of Yale Elliott of La
fayette, Ramsey of Cornell, Davies of
Pittsburgh and Crulkshaak of Yale.
Kauff Still Remains as
Ineligible Ball Player
N7TW YORK, Not. 29.—0n the reserve
list of the New York National League
club, as officially filed, appears the name
of Benny Kauff. as "Ineligible.” That is
the answer of the New York club and of
organized baseball to Kauff's suit, filed
last September to compel the New York
club and organized baseball authorities
to reinstate him. It was filed with the
idea that Kauff might force them to let
him set in on the world's series, pre
sumably. The suit never has come to
trial.
The Injunction case may be heard dur
ing the winter, but it does not seem to
be w crying Commissioner Landis or any
one eL-. The fact that Kauff still is
carried c; baseball’s list as an eligible
player u ’n Itself a challenge to press
Its suit. New York might have wiped
his name off. made him a free agent and
thus permitted him to get a Job any
where that he could—but it has not done
80.
Whether or not the New York club
has made a mistake remains to be seen.
It certainly does not intend to use
Kauff, and It is hardly likely any other
club could find room fur him, so there
really was no necessity of continuing
his name on its reserve list. By so re
taining him the club is liable to a test
of right that might as well be avoided,
for all know what courts may do what
ever the Justice of a cause before the
bench.
Riverside A. A.s Easily
Defeat Fairfax Eleven
The Riverside A. As. easily showed
championship caliber by defeating the
Fairfax A. As. by a terrific offense which
netted a 14 to 0 score.
Thg Riversides have lost but one game
this year, playing ball abroad and at
home. The one defeat administered the
Riverside boys was the Ferndale game
which they played at a few hours notice.
Thslr line-up was a shifted afalr, many
plajers being absent liecause of -short
notice. When the Riversides substituted
for the Hartford City eleven they were
to receive a return game from the Fern
dales which was to be played when both
teams bad their best Une-up.
The Belmont victory over Ferndale
made the game undesirable and the great
form shown ov the Riversides In trim
ming the Fairfax boys by a larger score
than that attained by tbe Indianapolis
team a week previous easily warrants a
Belmont-Rlverside game, according to
Riverside followers.
The Riversides record this year Is as
follows:
RlTerside, 14; Greenwood, 0.
Riverside, 7; Greenfield, 6.
Riverside, 7; Brookside, 7.
Riverside. 14; Garfield, 0.

tion of Captain Hooker and in the last

great season and the performance of the
Blue and White athletes will be watched
with interest by college net fans. Every
man on last year’s team is back again,
as are several promising men who played
a substitute role last season. In addi
tion the freshmen turnout Is so promis
ing that It Insures a star Butler team In
the future. Some of the yearlings may
displace veterans of last year’s team this
season. Hall, the giant from Logansport
who held down a tackle position on the
football team is out for a back guard
position. Griggs and Black of Tech,
Keach of Seymour and Colway of Muncie

of twenty men for a time at least.

Big Tackle Ends Bright
Four-Year Grid Career
at Worthington H. S.
PAUL BECK.
Among the star high school grid per
formers of the State this season was
Paul Beck of Worthington, who brought
to a close four years of action on the
foctball field. He played three years
at guard and then shifted to tackle this
season. He Is a fast charger and is
credited with breaking through and
blocking seven punts this season. He
opened many holes for his hacks also,
and It Is said be outplayed his man in
every game this fall. Beck weighs 180
pounds and is speedy for a big man.
Grid fans of Worthington expect Beck
to make good in the collegiate fields.
Worthington had a formidable team
this season and Its followers are mighty
proud of its record.
Worthington wound up Its season
Thanksgiving day by defeating its an
cient rival, Bloomfield, 21 to 0. Worth
ington would Mke to play Kirklin a post
season game, provided the State associa
tion will permit it. A game had been
scheduled with this school Nov. 19, but
was cancelled by Kirklin In favor of Lo
gansport. Worthington will loose Beck,
Buckner, Woolridge and Hediien this
year by graduation. All have played on
the team for four years. In Buckner and
Hedden, Worthington had two of the
hardest hitting half backs in the State.
Buckner skirts the ends for consistent
gains. Hedden is a line plunger and a
powerful defensive man. He tackles low
and hard. These two players and Wool
ridge, colored end, have been responsible
for carrying the ball into opponents’ ter
ritory. v

DALY MAY LOSE
ARMY COACHING
West Point Followers Move to
Force Change of Grid
Reins.
NEW YORK, Nov. 29.—1n Army cir
cles it is thought probable that when the
1922 football season rolls around the
coaching of the soldier eleven will be In
other hands than.those of MnJ. Charles
Daly, who has directed the Array grid
iron destinies for the last three years,
after a long tenure of office, broken by
the war.
It Is no secret that military adherents
are much dissatisfied with the showing
the Hudson River eleven had made dur
ing the last three years, when they have
teen humbled ns many times by the sail
ors of Annapolis. The defeats, while not
overwhelming as far as large scores are
concerned, were none the less decisive.
The chief criticism made In the Army
play among the partisans is directed
against the coaching of the Army lines
which have played high in the air and
tackled ineffectively. This was more than
evident Saturday, and the timing of plays
on the attack was poor, it Is argued.
Army followers believe the time is ripe
for a change and that a conch of high
caliber should be gotten for the Arrfiy at
any cost West Point has about the larg
est student enrollment in Its history,
splendid material, and the students are
older than their Annapolis rivals.
In the face of all this Daly has not
been able to produce a dependable quar
ter or a good working line.

rounds. Oh, yes, the other gentleman
In the ring will be George Ward of Jer
sey City. Ward Is a hard hitting welter
weight " with phenomenally long urms
and some thero nro who think he may
floor the champion, but it s not a very
good betting proposition.
Leonard, of course, has everything to
lose and nothing to gain In a bout like
this and ho is not likely to take any
chances.
Most of the other boxers on the bill
are getting paid for their tricks. Ward,
for instance, expects to draw $7,500 for
his eighteen minutes’ work. Benny has
not had to make tho weight for this
frncas and he probably will go Into the
ring about as hefty as George, who is a
natural welter.

Pole Throws Lewis
Twice After Being
Sent Down Himself
NEW YORK, Nov. 29—Zbyszko is
still champion wrestler of the world.
He defeated Strangler Lewis last night,
two falls to one. Lewis took the first
fall In 17 mulutes, 31 seconds. Zbyszko
won the second In 21 minutes, 26 sec
onds, and the third In 14 minutes, 56 sec
onds.
Before the match began, it was an
nounced that all holds, with the excep
tion of the strangle hold, would be per
mitted. Lewis weighed 237 Vi pounds and
Zbyszko 233%.
Lewis obtained the first fall with a fly
ing headlock. Zbyszko had Just escaped
a hammer lock and regained his feet
when Lewis grabbed him by the hand,
threw him over his shoulder and pinned
the Pole’s shoulders to the mat.
The second, a so-called rolling fall,
went to Zbyszko after twenty-one min
utes and twenty-six seconds. This fall
was called when Lewis, in escaping from
a half nelson and crotch hold, per
mitted hls shoulders to strike the mat.
Lewis protested the referee's decision and
left the ring, but was induced by mem
bers of the ’State athletic commission to
continue.
The champion won the third fall and
match with a double arm lock in four
teen minutes and fifty-six seconds.
The rolling fall rule has not been in
cluded in the terms of any other cham
pionship mat bout in the last few years
and Lewis based his protest on this fact.
This old rule, which Zbyszko said won
many matches for him in the early days
of his career, provides that when a con
testant is compelled in escaping from a
hold to roll so that both his shoulders
touch the mat momentarily, a fall shall
be awarded to his opponent. The referee
of last night's contest awarded Zbyszko
his first fail on this rule.

MORE TROUBLE
FACES MINORS
IN DRAFT FUSS
Big Leagues Dissatisfied With;
Conditions and Agreement
May Be Terminated.
BAN JOHNSON SPEAKS
• CHICAGO, Nov. 29.—When the major
league magnates gather in New York
next month for their annual argument
they may cook up more or less of a stew
for the little fellows to swallow. This
was indicated today by a statement from
Ban Johnson, American League executive,
who said there was a possibility of the
big leagues terminating their present
working agreement with the minors.
The major-minor agreement wns put
into effect when Judpe K. M. Landis be
came baseball commissioner, but is sep
arate and ajiart from the major contract
which was adopted at the same time.
The big fellows accepted the pact, al
though admitting it wasn’t to their liking.
Now, having operated under it for a
year, there is agitation afoot to wipe it
out and either draw up a new* agreement
or let the small leagues swing along on
their own hook.
FRICTION OVER
THE DRAFT.
All the dissatisfaction is due to the
draft —a thorn in the side of organized
ball for many seasons. Under the pres
ent code, five leagues refused to recog
nize the right of the majors to swoop
down every fall and pick off what ap
peared to be excellent diamond timber.
The five circuits are the American Asso
ciation, International, Pacific Coast,
Western, and Three-I—the first three
being the most fertile in the country for
big league prospects.
The major viewpoint is that the ab
sence of the draft not only prevents
the clubs from improving, but works
to the detriment of the players. Un
der the draft, a player is bound to
advance if he shows sufficient playing
skill. Without the draft, a minor
league club can either hold him or sell
him, but usually the price Is so high
that the majors refuse to buy for fear
the athlete involved may turn out to
be a “lemon.”
REAL SALVATION
IS IN “TRUST.”
Without a working agreement all
kinds of things would be possible. The
minors would have to sign their athletes
to ironclad contracts to avoid the pos
sibility of major league raids. Such
a thing is not likely however, for the
simple reason that the majors have no
dispute with the small circuits that
recognize the draft. The only preace
ful solution is for the majors to buy
minor franchises and “farm out”
players for development.
Weeghman and Griffith
Said to Be Bidding for
Boston Red Sox Franchise
CHICAGO. Nov. 29. —Reports from the
East yesterday were to the effect that
both Clark Griffith of the Washington
Senators and Charles Weeghman, former
boss of the Chifeds and Cubs, had made
offers to purchase Harry Frazee’s inter
ests in the Boston American League
club. Weeghman refused to admit or
deny a desire to get back into baseball
and Ban Johnson, president of the Amer
ican I.eague, said that he heard nothing
in regard to Griffith being interested.
Frazee is willing to get out and It Is
likely that the sale of the club will come
to a head during the major league gath
ering at New York Dec. 13 and 14.
