Indianapolis fans are expecting big
things of the Wabash College basket
ballers when they take on the Merchants
Heat and Light five at the Y. VI. c. a.
tomorrow night, and they are expecting
more than the ordinary performance from
Alonzo Goldsberry, 1910 all-Americaa
high school center, who Is holding down
the pivot position and playing the star
light role for Coach Yaughan's team.
In the Wabash victory over the En-
Roes last week, Goldsberry was the big
figure on the court. He displayed plenty
Of speed, fight, shooting accuracy and
good, sound court brains.
The college boys will have the advan-
tage Of another week Of training when
they meet the Merchants and should
show more form than they did against
the strong Green and White combination.
Both teams are confident OF posting the
victory total. The Merchants have re-
organized their lineup and have put IN
some strenuous practice sessions for the
college game. 1t is the ambition of the
Merchants to make better showina
than the EN- oes and they mean to put
their best efforts into tomorrow nights
tussle
Jumping against Goldsberry tomorrow
night Will be Homer Stonebraker, tho
shining light OF the original Wabash
Wonder Five. "Stonie" will join out with
the Merchants for tomorrow's game, and
IL viii ba interesting to watch the bat
tie between the veteran and the youth
who IL taking his place as Scarlet
court hero.

Shortridge will meet Thorntown Friday
on the Shortridge floor, and since the
upstaters have made anything but an
impressive record to date Coach julius
proteges also have a good chance TO
break into the win column for the arst
time this year.
This week will be a busy one for
Coach MorrisOn's Manual basket ballers,
no less than four contests being booked
on the Red and White card. On Friday
the regular State team will be divided
into two sections, one going to Craw-
louisville and the other to Brownsburg.
The same night the Manual seconds will
meet the Brownsburg seconds In cur
tain raiser to the big Manual Brownsburg
contest. Saturday Morrison VIII pit his
hard working athletes against Shelby
Vile at the local Y NJ. C. A. and 1t viii
be no SLOUGH game for the local tossers.
Although Shelbyville holds decisive win
over Tech the Manual game will furnish
no means OF accurately comparing the
two local squads. as Blacks quintette
fell before Shelbyville before II had been
strengthened by the recent additions from
the football team.

Tad Gives EarfuI on
Brennan-Dempsey Bout,
and It's All Dempsey
by TAD.


Famous Cartoonist and Sports Writer.
NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-Jack Dempsey
will appear in a match at Madison Square
Garden tomorrow night for the first time
In his life.
Dempsey is the only heavyweight cham
pion with the exception of Jeffrtes and
Jack johnson, who has not appeared in
Madison Square Garden. All the others,
from Sullivan down, fought and won
there. Tomorrow night the champion
meets Bill Brennan.
We can't say that we get An awful kick
out Of the match. Brennan IS a good
man. He's Just about Dempseys size
and Is a good boxer but as far as sock
ing goes Bill Is a bit minus.
Bill has met and won from a number
Of men that Dempsey met but where they
stuck along with Bill, they we're car
rted out after meeting Dempsey.
Dempsey stopped Brennan a few years
ago in six rounds. After the bout Bren-
nan declared a broken ankle forced him
to stop. Tomorrow a broken jaw may
force him 20 SKY the wipe"
There Is no betting on the bout at az.
Odds are too great in Dempsey's favor.
They are not even betting Bill will stay
ten rounds, or even five.
Bin may win with X. o. Who
knows3 Certainly. The Athletics might
beat the Cleveland Indians five In a row
Sir Barton might make Man-o'- War look
as though ne had truck hitched on be-
hind. But would you bet on 1t?

The Indiana College Athletic League,
instead of being disbanGed, is going to
be reorganized and givena an increased
membership, then set on the right track
and be used as the chief instrument for
bringing secondary college sports nearer
the front In Hoosier college athletic
circles.
at "do or die" meeting held at the
local Y. NJ. c. A. Saturday. representa-
tives of Butler, Franklin, Earlham. State
Normal and Rose Poly met and decided
to take one final stab at putting tue
league, over and they started several
movements which, it is believed, will
supply all that has been lacking in the
progress Of the body
There was not lot of actual headway
made Saturday; the majority Of time in
both the morning and afternoon sessions
tadves present on the weak spots OF the
circuit then other talks by other repre-
sentatives on just the sort of salVe that
was needed to cure this bruise. AS re-
suit 1t was decided to chuck all talk Of
disorganiEation into the trash can.
As was suggested at the meeting in
Terre Haute last spring the old consti-
tuition and bylaws of the league were
pushed aside and the governing rules
of the Big Ten adopted TO the letter.
with the one exception that every man
will be eligible for four years of ath-
letic competition. The Western Confer
athletic meets and selecting officials also
will be used in the future. Two officials
viii be used in each basket ball game.
The 1. c. A. L. track meet viii be
held at Butler. May q, and Athletic
Director Pat Page said he will do every
thing possible to put the event over in
big league style. Page says there Is an
abundance OF high class athletic talent In
tho !. G. A. L. that can be brought to
the fore with little effort on every
bodys part and he Is going to do more
than his share.
The work of admitting new schools
into the organization was postponed I'M

here early in 1921.
There was some talk at the meeting of
scheduling 1921 football games. and II
is believed that the coaches win get to-
gether In their own way before the next
session, so that the cards can be an

allotted to Butler and It is probable that

NEW BASEBALL
AGREEMENT is
HELP TO GAME
Provides Punishment for Any
Infracti0n of Rules and
Gives Lands Power.
DRAFT PROBLEM OPEN
BY JACK vEIOCK.
international News Sports Editor.

international News Sports Editor.
NEW YORK. Dec. 13.-Baseball Is
surely going ahead.
The new national agreement framed By
the joint committee of major and minor
league representatives is looked upon by
baseball men here today as the most i'm
portant legislative step taken since the
formation of the National League half
century ago.
1t is an instrument, they say, that win
accomplish things beyond the expecta-
lions OF followers of the game, for 1t Is
SO woEded as to provide for the treatment
OF unseen emergencies
perhaps the biggest feature Of the new
agreen ent IS that it provides punishment
fct infraction Of the rules by clubs, play
ers and others and for actions detri-
mental to the welfare of the game not
covered by the written word.
The power granted to Judge lands 10
broader and farther reaching than that
held by the old National Commission, but
baseball men are satisfied that it has been
placed In the best possible hands-the
hands Of fearless and capable admins
traitor.
The fact that future questions which
interest both major leagues win be voted
on by clubs instead Of leagues is one Of
the features Of the new document, as is
the section which empowers Judge Landi-
to impose fine as high as IS 900 on q
major league club for an ofense detri.
mental to the game.
That the new agreement will be rati-
fed by both major leagues is GER
tainty. The National League viii adopt
1t at its meeting here tomorrow The
American League, which meets in Chi
cago this week, will also ratify it asa
the various minor leagues are expected
to follow suit at a meeting in Chicago
on Jan. 10.
An agreement between the majors and
miners covering the draft, territorial and
player protection and other matters Of
interest Is TO be presented TO all leagues
by the minor league committee which
helped frame both new agreements. Each
league will, Of course, vote separately on
the new agreement, but popular opinion
among the minors favors practically
every feature embodied IN the document
with the exception Of the draft, against
which a strong fight is being made GY
certain club owners in the International
Lea que and the American Association.
The chances Of the draft being restored,
however, are good and those objecting
WILL It Is believed, be voted down when
the minor league body meets in January.
The International League went into
session here today at the Imperial Hotel.
Difference of opinion in regard to the
draft in its ranks, not to mention
squabbles over a salary limit and its OBJ
servance were expected to keep the at
mosphere warm for time.
