Butler FiUe Starts
Season by Beating
Armour Tech Outfit
Hooker and Leslie GiUe
Promise of Developing Into
Real Court Stars.

Basketball coaching has been reported
as Pat Pages main stock IN trade and
those who saw his Butler quiutette de-
feat Armour Tech o. Chicago. s. TO y.
on the Butler court last night have little
reason TO doubt this report.
Page has been able To hold only a few
sessions with his basket men since the
close Of the football season. bUt during
that time he has irOned out q fairly well
drilled team that has the great advantage
of knowing how to battle at all times.
Tr0 f0or work Of the Page men was
decidedly ragged at times. then again
tuey would tighten up and appear as
one of the smOOthest running teams But
Ter ever has had They viii be mighty
good after Page works them more.
The two best players on the court last
night were Leslie and Hooker, former
Anderson High School stars. Hooker
played at forward, while Leslie took care
of the floor guard position and they dis
played lots Of class. Armour5 defense
looked dangerous until Hooker and Les
lie had registered a few Of their favorite
distance shots, then things began TO
change. These two youngsters also have
plenty Of speed in getting over the court
and Page should develop pair Of real
stars from them.
Captain Jones also played 4 great game
for Butler, checking numerous Armour
advances. Witgshkis played best Tor the
losers.

Tense. brought Hartford City an IS to Il
victory over Coach Julius guiutette last
night 1t was the FIRST contest for the
ShOrtridge team under Julius and the
Blue and White played a rsmarkable
game, considering the class OF talent the
new mentor has had TO work with.
Riley started the scoring a few minutes
after play opened and Shsrtridge held
the lead until Il few seconds before half
time arrived. when a field goal by
Hsehamer gave the visitors IN TO
margin.
Richards shot Shortridge back TO the
lesd after g short time Of going in the
second session and Sh0rtridge again
stuck out in front until the last minute,
then weakened on defense and permitted
the Hartford boys to walk in and take
the scrap.
Two Of the men in Shortridge uniform
last night were playing their first real
basket-b ball, but Coach julius has mis-
men well drilled and should develop
them into championship stun before the
title play time rolls around.

ket tossers will oppose Columbus this
evening at the Y. NJ c. A, in one of the
feature high school scraps for local fans
this season.
Like Tech, Manual has been forced to
use n number of substitute players in
early games due to the presence Of regu-
ord Of the south siders to date has been
anything but impressive. Now that foot
ball is definitely out of the way, how
ever Manual basket prospects look I'M
usually bright and Red and White fol-
lowers are looking to tonight's game as
the starter of victorious march
The lineup that will start the game
under Manual colors Is undecided, but
1t is generally thought that several men

Cry Heard for Old
Yale Coaching Style
to Be Brought Back
Weekly Urges Drop
ping of Miracle Makers
for Former System.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Dec 4.-"WhRt
Yale football needs is the family doctor,
says the Yale Alumni Weekly in a general
review of the football season in the uni
versity.
The Weekly has been receiving the
opinions of others on football conditions,
and now strikes out for itself in suggest
ing causes and effects.
I'm our opinion" the Weekly says,
yale football does not need profess
sional specialist to put 1t on its feet
again: the family doctor will respond
if called.
by this we mean that while Harvard
and Princeton have been building up
home coaching schools these past few
years, Yale has struck out blindly for
miracle makers, and forgotten the expert
ence Of the days when Yale football was
great.
The old Yale coaching system was not
built up around any one man, nor was
any individual the boss Of It; Il was Il
school of Yale football scieuce-under
one field coach, TO he sure land il did not
seem TO make any difference who ne wasl
but comprising all Of the knowledge
and special talents that q long process.
sion Of tried coaches could contribute,
continuous and kept up to date by regu-
lar infusion Of new blood"
After referring 10 Vale teams as fight
ing ones. the Weekly says: yale teams
can play as good football as ever II they
are taught right. And why aren't they?"

POINT ISABEL is
TO BE BUSY PORT
Village Put on Map by
Harding's Visit.

POINT ISABEL. Texas, Dec 4-This
sleepy little ASKING village, which SUM
bered on In oblivion until the visit or
President-elect Harding brought It into
world wide attention. Is today awakening
and holds forth promises OF being one or
the busiest ports on the southern coasts
Of the United States.
Point Isabel. for more than a century
only a collection Of small Mexican fish
ing shacks. Is slated to become the port
~ the entire Rio Grande Valley. The
Government has appropriated money TO
open a channel from this little port 10
the Gulf OF Mexico. and the public
spirited citizens OF the Rio Grande Val
ley have raised sufficient money to
change the Brownsville Point ISABEL mar
row gauge railroad into a standard gauge
road.
Millions OF dollars Of produce from
the Rio Grande Valley Will flow out to
the world from this tiny little village,
and already plans are being made for
the establishment OF a huge warehouse
here.
Point Isabel up to this time has been
known locally only, and It's population,
almost entirely Mexican, has devoted its
entire time to fishing. when the popula
ton chose to work. The village is built
upon the Mexican plan and 1t is typical
OF the old world Only the presence
Of a handful Of marines and sailors
attached to a naval radio station give
1t the appearance of really belonging 10
the United States.
Primitive indeed is the village now.
There is not a bathtub in the entire
village. There is one lone telephone line
which connects It with the outer world.
and telegraph facilities are nil.
For recreation the people OF Point
Isabel sit upon the porches Of their ut
tie shacks all day long in the sun. On
rare occasions there Is dance, and the
Mexican boys, with gaily colored scarfs
about their swarthy throats, dance the
old fashioned dances with the greatest of
decorum with dark skinned but prettily
featured Mexican girls.
Burros. pigs and cattle roam the viii
lage square at viii. Doors are never
locked The hoosegow can be moved
by any two normal men. There is one
general store. and the postoffice boasts
Of two lock boxes.
All of this is now ready to give way
to the march OF progress. and historic
and quaint old Point Isbale in another
year viii be a thriving port, pouring out
to the world huge supplies of cotton,
fruit, vegetables and cattle from the Rio
0rande Valley.
