SECRET PRACTICE RULE
BOTH HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS SETTLE
DOWN TO HARD WORK.
Coach Rebel VIII Teach NJ. L. III. s.
Some Purdue Tricks-Mckinney

Plays that were used with success last
tions and tricks taught the Purdue eleven
by Coach Cults to be used against Indiana

ual Training High School eleven against
Shortridge in the annual game on Thanks
giving day. Dutch Rebel, Purdue's big
guard, who has been secured to help train
M. 7. H. s.. has insisted on secret practice
during the remaining days before Thanks
giving, and from now on no spectators will
be allowed in the artillery armory, where
the South Side team will practice.
The men were given d severe course Of
practice in interference yesterday and the
new coach insisted that every man do his
best to develop, team work instead of each
trying to be an individual star. AS soon as
Rebel perfects the interference the general
team work and the tackling he will devote
his attention to teaching the squad few
tricks that will be used against Shortridge.
Owing to the short time before the big
game he will not try to teach the men too
many tricks, but only few that might be
used advantageously.
Rebel appreciates the fact that the play
ers have displayed woeful lack of spirit
during the season, and he has insisted upon
tneIn getting into TIE game with a deter
mination TO win. His coaching has already
shown its worth, for the Training School
lads have obeyed his orders and should
profit by his teaching. John Kittle will also
help coach the players. No changes have
been made In the lineup, but one or two of
the men may be shifted to other positions.
Bonham is again back In the game. A game
may be arranged for the team for next Sat
urday 10 give the boys practice. 1t is not
the intention to take on hard game before
THANKSGIVING, as no chances will be taken
for fear of the players being injured.

and, getting through every time that Baird

drove Princeton down into her own goal

PUBLIC GAMES STOPPED.

Programme of Athletics Arranged for
Indiana Normal School Students.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Nov. 17.-Since the
school authorities at the Indiana Normal
stopped public games by the womens
basketball clubs IT is almost impossible to
get players into the gymnasium for prac-
tice. Athletics among the men students is
enlisting more interest than was expected
when the term began with the abandon
ment of football and the consequent de-
pressing effect on athletics. The inter-
class basketball series is the current topic
among students The sophomores have
won all three games played and practically
have the penant won. The juniors have
won two games.
Professor kimmell, physical instructor,
has been elected manager of the track
team. 1t is probable that he will be able
TO arrange for cross-country run with a
team from Rose Polytechnic. A normal
interclass indoor meet will be arranged
for sometime this winter. There are now
twelve prominent candidates for the school S
basketball team and every man is over six
feet tall.

VIII Elect Captain This Week.

"Game lads"
This was the ''undergrads' tribute to
the victorious team.
Behind Captain De Witt were as game a
lot of men as ever fell on a ball. They
withstood the pounding of the big Yale
tackles like young giants.
They cut the Yale defense like 13-inch
shells fired from Sandy Hook, and when
Bloomer was compelled to leave the game
in the second half the Tigers saw the hand
writing on the wall and played with greater
vigor than before.
Slowly but surely Yale's giants were worn
out. They were excelled In football science
as the battle drew to close. until. with
a trifie more than five minutes to play, the
Tigers were the masters Of the situation.
Princeton has champion team beyond
the question of doubt.
Only one player Is used up. Kafer has a
wrenched shoulder.
The next captain will be elected at the
banquet of the team this week. The choice
seems to rest between Foulke and Short,
with a preference for the former. Both
have played for three years, and although
Foulke was prevented by injuries from par
ticipating in Saturdays game, his good
work In former games will place his
chances for the position on a high basis.

Every member of the Shortridge team Is
more or less battered and the team is in
poor shape. Mckinney. the star quarter
back, stepped in a hole in Bosom Field
yesterday and is now suffering from
badly sprained ankle. which will keep him
out of practice for several days. Leath-
ers is just recovering from a spell of sick
ness and the team is without the services
of quarter back, with both Mckinney and
feathers out of the game. Captain Clark
went to quarter back yesterday and Hol-
loway took Clarks position at right half
Shank and Allerdice alternated at full back
and Schoen and De War alternated at left
half. The latter has just recovered from
injuries received in the game against the
Rose Polytechnic eleven.
Inc goal posts were erected on Bosom
Field yesterday and a large squad of play
ers reported for practice. Kick-off scrim-
mage and interference was the order and
no tackling was INDUCED In, as none of
the players was In shape to do any swift
work. Captain Clark is playing, but is suf-
fering from an injured knee and Aronson
is In poor shape from injuries received in
the game against Tuscola High School

The Indiana Medical College eleven was
to meet the Shortridge team in a practice
game yesterday, but it failed to show up.
captain Clark announced last night that
secret practice would be in order from now
on and that everybody except the players
would be barred from the field
The Shortridge second team will meet
either the Knightstown High School eleven
or the Plainfeld Academy on Saturday
morning. The game will be called at $50

Will Conner, the big LETT tackle, will not

this season. He is in poor shape and will
not don a uniform again. Shank played

season at that position.
