SPORTING AND ATHLETIC NEWS II II
Cannibals' Fierce Cry
Resembles Love Song
High School Yell Writers Compose Fiencsh Combination Of
Sounds for Tournament Which Would Strike Barbarian
Dead Expect Noises to Paralyze Teams Opponents

The approach of the district basket
ball meet has set all heads abuzzing
at the Richmond high school. Sup
porters are preparing to back the GRIM
son and white warriors to the utmost
limit
A bowling host Of fanatic rooters
is receiving daily instructions in the
gentle art of yelling their approba-
ton of their fellows, and hatred OF
their enemies. On hearing the rooters
put through their PAGES the innocent
bystander is forced to wonder if ii
can be possible that the yells reflect
some faint "reminiscences from the
class room. For instance, did so fair
member of the domestic science class

ment of words?
VICTORY
Are we in it? Well, l guess!
Watch 'em win for the H. H. s.
SIS! BOO! BAH!
And again the following use of the
gentle daisy perhaps has been sug.
gested by some students from Prof
Thompson's botany class or stolen
bodily from Earlham's choice collec.
ton:
Team! She's daisy,
She's a dandy,
She gets there every time.
Team! Team! Team!
Another song which has been heard
where Quakers congregate is:
Richmond will shine tonight,
Richmond will shine,
When the sun goes up,
And the moon comes down,
Richmond will shine.
First blame was placed on Miss
Whitacre for the following contribu-
ton from the mathematics department,
but at the last moment Mr.. Maier
owned up to it:
r. H. S. Who's insane?
Polygons, polygons, on the brain;
Triangles, triangles, Y Y Z
We play basketball, don't you see?
SIS! BOOM! BAH!
CannibaIism Breaks Out.
The foregoing samples of the yell
writer's art can be explained as hav-
ing been suggested by the studies OF
the pupils, but there are other yells
that can not be accounted for in that
manner, unless one can believe the
assertions of Professors Wissler and
Wisnand that the composers, becom-
ing so engrossed in their study of the
history of aboriginal man, were forced
to give vent to their emotions in the
following blood-thirsty manner:
Biff 'em, bang 'em, beat 'em black
and blue;
Stiff 'em, staff 'em. crack rib or two.
Gouge out an eye, twist off jaw;
Grind 'em on the floor till they're
raw raw, raw.

COMES BACK
Chevrolet Re-enters 500 Mile
Contest.
TBY LEASED WiRE.l

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 25.-After a
retirement lasting five years l.. Chev-
rolet, the famous FrancO.American
racing driver, who once knew no equal
on track or road, has returned to the
game, making his re-entry via the 500
mile race at indianapolis, in which he
will drive Comedian car weighing
only 900 pounds. Chevrolet's last ap-
pearance was in 1910, his final race
being the Vanderbilt of that season.
In this contest he literally hurdled a
machine full of spectators, winding up
in front of a house on all tours, after
a trip through the air of about sixty
feet. Up to the time he went out lie
was the favorte.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Feb. 25.-To-
pight Charley White, lightweight, who
has been knocking at the champion
ship door for the last year, is to re-
Ceive his third chance against a title
holder when he meets the world S
champion, Freddie Welsh. 1t is up
to White to accomplish the defeat OF
the Britisher or admit openly he is
unequal to the task in ten-round
bout.
Welsh is the favorite in the betting,
out there has been little wagering
done thus far. Odds of l to 6 are
asked by those who would back Charlie
on a knockout.
Jimmy Walsh, the bricklayer cham
pion and Young Ertle of st. Paul,
should furnish an interesting battle,
II not better than the headliners.

KENNEY SIGNS
BARD HITTERS
FOR OUTFIELD
Richmond Manager Quells
Fears of Fans-Team Will
Open Season at KOkOmO,
April Is.

In letter received yesterday Dick
kenney says, Don't get anxious about
the lineup for the club this season as
we VIII have a good club and the in
held as arranged now will be daisy"
For third base Dick has George Cur
ley a player who hits, fields and runs
bases with skill. He is a hard work
ing boy who is always in the game.
Manager Rohrer of the Rushville club
has been doing his best to get Curley
to 90 the jumping stunt but with no
success. Dick says that when the
fans see Curley in action in a few
games they will forget all about Len
niger. Luke Snyder, a good hitter,
will cover the keystone sack with Mol
lencamp probably on first.
Popkins has been flirting with Dick
again but Dick is paying little atten-
ton to his ogeling. Anyway Ken
ney is not worrying whether or not
Pop will be with the team this sum-
mer as he prefers Mollencamp. Molly
still wants to pitch but he will prob
ably come to and get in line for the
first sacker's job. Novack also has
the too much money fever but will get
over it in time to get into the first
game.
Il must have good hitters in the out
field" states Dick, "and with this view
in mind have several good clouters
who will sign up with the local club if
given the opportunity so you see l am
not worried on this score"
The Richmond club opens the
season at kokomo, Kenny having
come to terms with Manager Jones of
that team for game April 18th
Mayor Phillips of Covington also wants
Dick to open the new park at that
place.

Basket ball is pretty game 10
watch, especially when the game is
between two evenly matched teams.
And, at times, it becomes a tough
game. But withal, it is clean.
Basket ball is great winter favorite
in small college towns. The attend
ance at the games is always good. But
il two college teams staged game In
some foreign city of a metropolitan
nature it wouldn't draw even at 81
cents head.
In New York City and every other
town where boxing bouts are allowed
the fans" will pay from 81 to $40 to
watch a pair of low brow pugs slam
or attempt to slam-each other for
thirty minutes but those same fellows
wouldn't pay SO cents to see crowd
of college boys perform in game tnat
gives as many thrills in five minutes
as prize fighting does in sixty.
g. Game Lacks Publicity.
OF course, in all the cities where
there are Y. NJ. G. AS and similar
institutions. there are basket ball
games between picked teams OF those
institutions. But the interest In the
games rarely extends beyond the men,
bership of the organization. TO draw
crowds even to- those games the pro-
motors usually have to promise
dance after the game as an additional
lure.
Probably the reason that basket ball
is not more popular Is because so little
publicity is given to the stars OF the
game

Basketball Provides

FRANK MENKE,

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Will some one please
step forward and tell why basketball isn't more
popular with the rank and file of sport lovers?
1t is a mystery to us-and to many thousands
of others-why there is such little public interest
in a game that provides as many thrills as foot
ball, calls for more skill and practically much
endurance prize fighting and which is almost
as fast and furious as hockey.
