BASKETBALL CANDIDATE.
High School Teams VIII Now Begin
Active Practice.

Now that the football season is over the
athletes of the Manual Training and Short
ridge high schools will turn their attention
to basketball, and active work of the cam
didates for the teams will begin at once
A number of those who will try for the
squads have been at work in the Y. M. c.
A. gymnasium since the opening of the
football season, but a number of players
on the football teams of both schools will
reinforce the present candidates, and Ii will
not be long before the teams are chosen.
Prospects for strong five in the Short
member of last years team will play this
season. Byron La Toilette, the star goal
thrower will captain this years team.
Other men who are showing up well and
stand good chance for the team are All
kan, Posey, Berry, Sheets, Palmer, Bristor.
Reese, Churchill, Mckee, Rapp, Hackney,
Sockwell, Brandt, Elite. Pratt, Hazy Clark,
Hare, Dunning and Shank.
The outlook for winning team at the
NJ. T. II. 8. Is not so good. as all of the old
men are out of school and the entire team
this year will be composed of new mater
ial. Only three of the candidates for the
team have ever played before. However.
the red and white boys are hard at work,
and hope to put a team on the floor that
eleven. Among the best candidates are
Bohnstadt, Spohr. Ayers, Raffensberger,
Diddle, White, Roeminger, Hamlet.
Rhoades and CASTOR Ii is quite likely that
Jack Shideler. who was chosen captain OF
the basketball team, cannot play on &C
count of his leg, which was hurt In foot
ball. and CASTOR, who has had temporary
charge of the men, will be selected to take
his place. Hardin, of the Y. NJ. c. A, will
be the coach.

CANNOT ENJOIN BOXING.
Kentucky Chancery Courts Powerless
to Restrain Proposed "Mills.,

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 29.-Judge Ster-
ling B. Toney, sitting in chancery to-day,
decided that chancery court had no right
to enjoin the commission of a felony The
decision has bearing the Young Cor
bett-McGovern glove contest, which was
called off here some weeks ago, and is in
effect that a proposed boxing match is not
an injuctable matter. The court says the
remedy is at common law and is a mat
ter for criminal process The case came
TO Judge Toney on a decision from the
Court of Appeals, sustaining a motion for
an injunction to prevent the McGovern-
Corbett contest, scheduled for Oct. %. The
case may be further appealed.
City Attorney Stone, for the common
wealth, made a motion for suspension of
the dissolution of the injunction until the
Toneys ruling. Argument on this was set
will be taken within twenty days on the
motion 10 suspend the dissolution of the
injunction. This will probably be passed
on by the Court of Appeals in January.
Manager Robert Gray, of the Southern
Athletic Club, before which the McGovern
and Corbett bout was scheduled to take
place, refused TO discuss the decision to-
night, further than to say that he regard
ed the opinion as a victory for the boxing
promoters. He also declined TO state
whether he would attempt to have any
more fights here, saying that he did not
deem IL proper for him to talk prior to the
final settlement Of the case by the Court
of Appeals.

Irwin s. Osborne. of Dover, o., who has
PLAYED such a strong game at quarter
back will next year lead the men. The
election will take place some time before
the annual football banquet, which is TO
be held within a few weeks. 1t looks now
as though Boyer and Allen will neither
of them be in school next year, and the
loss of Davidson, Hahn and Long John
Miller all seniors, will make IL necessary
to develop a new center, end. tackle guard
and half back. 1t is thought this can
easily be done with the material in school
at present and the freshman class next
year may furnish other players. Emise
will be tried in Davidson's place at center
and with coaching should be as strong
"Davy." Long, substitute, will ably nil
Boyer's position should the latter not be
here, and Krull will be tried I'm Hahns

Some of the football players say that Sal

CHAMPIONS MET DEFEAT
INDIANAPOLIS BEATS MUNCIE IN AN
EXCITING GAME.
Cusick, Muncie's Goal Tender, Was
Severely Hurt-AndcrsOn Won
from RichmOnd-ScOres.

The champion Muncie polo team met its
first defeat of the season in Tomlinson
Hall last night, when Indianapolis won
by score of to g.. There were no
"fukes" and the victory was well earned.
The game was more exciting than the
first one, played here last Tuesday night.
The Muncie players made a whirlwind
finish, but were unable ito tie the score.
Indianapolis scored two goals in the first
period, two in the second and one i'm the
third. Muncie scored one i'm the second
period and two in the last period.
The defensive play of the Indianapolis
team was especially strong, and this prob
ably prevented defeat. Berry played a
star game at goal, while Hipson and Cav
lit, the two rushes, did their share of the
hard work. Coggshall and Way were in
the game at all times, the playing of the
latter attracting much attention. The
Muncie team is composed of strong in
dividual players and their team work last
night was excellent. Higgins. at rush,
played the best game for Muncie, while
Cusick, at goal, saved many scores.
The contest was hard-fought one and
the large crowd applauded all during the
game. The indianapolis players were able
by Muncie, and also succeeded in prevent
ing Higgins, the star rusher. from playing
many CT his tricks. There was no loafing
in the contest, as the playing was furious
at all times. During the first period Cav
lit drove the ball toward the cage with
terrific force. The ball struck Cusick
over the left ear and he fell to the floor
unconscious. He regained consciousness
in an instant and resumed play, but was
not in the game during the second period
Ellis went to center, Wulf to half and
Tolin to goal Cusick returned to the
game in the third period and did good work
in guarding Muncie's cage. He was hit
several times with the bali.
Hipson had the best of the rushes last
night although Higgins gave him a hard
race for the ball every time the signal
was given Higgins secured the first rush
and Hipson made the first goal I'm l:25
Hipson secured the next rush, and Coggs-

two goals for Indianapolis in the second
period. The play in the third period was
