BLACKBIRD DEMOCRATS SPLIT

About Some Old Political Sores

About Some Old POlltIcal sores
Blackbird, Sept. 28.-LOcal Demo-
Gratis are much concerned over the
outlook for the election Of their can
didate for levy court commissioner to
succeed James A. Buckson, present IN
cumbent. Much of the interest is due
TO Sherbourne A. Collins, the success
ful nominee at the Democratic prl-
maries, having defeated ex-senator
Edward Hart, of Townsend, for this
office by the small majority OF nine
votes.
This has caused dissension among
old-line Democrats of this vicinity on
account of Mr.. Collins having been
an out-and-out Marvil worker for the
mast two campaigns. This is disliked
strongly by the defeated followers of
ex-senator Hart, who are known to
be strongly supporting activities Of
Senator Wolcott in this district.
This district, which comprises APP
noouinnink and Blackbird hundreds
has gone Democratic in former years
bv a majority of from 130 to 14O, but
Mr.. Buckson four years ago won by q
majority of only thirty-two votes
That was due. largely. to the indie

WABASH SQUAD
BUSY DRILLING
FOR MARQUETTE,
Scarlet Determined to Bolster
Prestige in indianapolis
Game Thanksgiving.
BRUSH UP ON SIGNALS

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Ind, Nov. 49,
Coach Pete Vaughan's Wabash College
gridders staged a snappy practice today,
the next to the last before the big clash
with the Marquette University eleven at
indianapolis Thanksgiving day, The
Scarlet warriors came out Of the De PAW
contest with only minor bruises showing
and viii be in good physical trim Thurs
Gay.
The record Of the Marquette team In
dlcates that the Milwaukee irish have a
formidable outfit and it means that Wa
bash is facing another big task. How
ever, the Scarlet clans are anxious to
score another victory in order to make
up for the close defeat at the hands Of
DE Paw, and Indianapolis fans are sure
to see whale of a game.
Marquette, according to reports. is
strOng with the aerial game, and Coach
vaughan Is lnstructing his defense menu
to meet it. He believes his line viii hold
up under the Irish attacks and therefore
IS giving the backs most Of his attention
The coach also ia giving the squad
plenty OF signal practice because a few
OF the men displayed a little signal rustl-
ness against De Paw and the offense
Of the team naturally was hampered The
attack of fumble-itis which occurred In
the De Paw game still remains unex-
planned, but the players promise thar
they win give more attention to clinging
to the bah when they stack into Mar
quette in indianapolis Thursday.
Vaughan today announced the officials
for the game as follows Hutchins, ref
cree; Ingerson, umpireI Maloney, head
Hnesman.
Due to the fact that Indianapolis has
not had Thanksgiving day football enter
tainment for several seasons there are
indications that the Marquette Wabash
contest VIII be well attended. It is rated
Marquettes big game Of the season and
that school VIII have a flock Of follow
ers on hand.

CLOSE OF PREP
GRIDIRON CARD
Tech and ShOrtridge Meet To-
morrow to Decide City
Championship HOnOrs.

A full-hedged grid fight between Short
ridge and Technical on Irwin field, Irv-
ington, tomorrow afternoon will bring
to a close the 1920 high school football
season In indianapolis. And a highly
successful season 1t has been.
Football was an entirely new subject
to men In the Indianapolis high schools
coaches excepted, this year, but when
the school board ruled that the grid ban
OF thirteen years should be lifted, pupils
faculty and alumni swung together IN
trying to make the game a success in its
infancy, and they have certainly sue
ceeded, If such q thing is possible.
Some high-class football teams have
been turned out at Manual Shortridge
and Tech this season, regardless of the
fact that the majority Of those youths
are playing q game that a few short
weeks ago they had hardly heard tell Of
me race between the three local teams
has been close, and tomorrow 1t will be
decided whether the three of them stack
up even-an, OF whether Tech has the best
eleven Of the lot.
Tech has already defeated Manual, and
Manual has defeated Shortridge, there
fore, II Shortridge can defeat Tech to-
morrow afternoon, it will be one won
and one lost for everybody.
The fact that Tech beat Manual and
Manual beat Shortridge is not causing
any great deal Of talk among the follow
ers or the three teams. 1t is a certainty
Luat the Manual lads fumbled when they
played Tech, whereas they were playing
great football, the kind that would have
MADE Tech show more than 1t ever has
the day Shortridge went down In a heap.
Tech lost to Sheridan a few days ago
while Manual defeated Sheridan before
the Manua3Tech game.
Tech, Of course, Is t0mOrrow's fayorite,
but If Coach Julius has his Shortridge
combination In shape for the fray and II
they hit Techs line as hard as they hit
the Manual forward wall the Green and
White machine certainly VIII have to
work to win.
II Tech beats shortridge tomorrow,
thereby winning the city championship,
the Board Of School Commissioners will
present the Green and White athletes
with a silver loving cup. But If Short
ridge beats Tech. thereby tying the city
race the cup VIII remain IN the offices
OF the school board.
This school board award win be made
to the winners Of the city championship
each year, unless the race ends In a tie.
In speaking OF the high school football
situation, President Crippin stated. 1.-The
utmost fairness and craftsmanship has
been displayed by players and students
in the two games played this fall and we
are certain that the board made no mis-
take in putting football back In the
schools even In the face Of some oppo-
sition."

Many football critics never name a
player for an all-State place in q posi-
ton that he does not really play, and
therefore. many times the best possible
all-Stats team is not selected. The writer,
however in selecting the Daily Times
aH-State team looks over the athletes
on every college eleven in the State,
sees them in action. talks TO coaches,
players, officials and followers OF the
game, and then selects the all-State team
just as he would If all the college play
ers were on one football field and the
writer was a coach picking his team to
enter a game.
To be sure there will be some men IN
guard positions crowded on to the sec
Ond team when tackles are placed in the
guard positions OF the hrsr all-State
SQUAD. but then Il must be remem bered
that the effort is to name the best all
around football team combined from the
players Of the various colleges.
OGDEN LANDS
CENTER BERTH.
Ted Ogden, captain at De PAW Uni
versitY. stood out as the greatest center
of the season. The Tiger leader not only
was the most perfect passer, but never
once did he take time out. ogden is the
fastest center and surest tackler or any
center on any eleven in the state. lie is
a man with real football brains Ogden
matched against Weaver, the Centre Col

choice for center.

evenly balanced team which won most
Of its games. but Page developed put

Harvard Coach Suggests
Forward Pass Be Curbed
of Basketball Tendency

BOSTON, Nov. ga suggestion for
curbing the forward pass, to prevent de-
velopment Of present day football into
game more nearly resembling basket
bah, has been advanced by Percy u.
Haughton, founder of Harvard's grid
iron coaching system. INSTEAD Of hav-
ing an incompleted forward pass revert
to the team which started the play, make
a forward pass blocked behind tho
throwers' line Of scrimmage subject to
recovery by opponents under the slime
condition as a blocked kick" is Haugh
toms idea.
IF you allow the blocked forward pass
to be recovered behind the line OF
scrimmage, as a blocked kick il, yQu
force the offense to protect the thrower
just as It must protect the kicker" said
Haughton. "Instead CT having tve men
eligible TO receive a pass, and In dan
gerous position. you wiz have but three,
possibly two.
"Why restrict the forward pass7 1t is
not football, and gradually the game will
stray farther away from the fundamental
aspects ana become a combination OF bas-
ket-ball and baseball"
