Wonder Five, Speed Five,
and Now a Mystery Five
for Fans to Puzzle Over

Comes now the mystery five" to
puzzle the basketball fans Of the city
and State.
ShrOuded in a cloak Of rumors and
whisperings the gumshOe outfit is said
to be>in the making at Technical High
School.
The students are puzzled and only
guesses are made regarding the lineup
OF this unknown quintette. The name of
certain players are known, It's true, but
what positions they will play remains
a secret
It's going to be a whizz- bang of a
machine, according to the east side boys,
who think they are in on the know, but
when pressed for facts they are without
Information and only say the gloom that
White team will be shattered by a
mighty swoop Of baskets when this
mystery quintette swings into action.
Whispered talks of the new Tech
team practicing far into the night have
been heard and It's said Coach Black has
found 4 combination that surely will
wreck the hopes ofNopposition teams from
this time on. 'Tis rumored, also, that
the basket shooters on this surprise team
are so good they seem to have the eyes
of an Owl and can spin the ball through
the draperies in daylight and dusk with
the same uncanny accuracy.
goblin proving about the Tech
campus at night is said to have been the
first witness of this mystery FIVE" in
action and he confded his information to
che who Immediately started the gossip
ers gOssipping.
At any rate the east side student body
is all worked up over their teams new
lineup, and the roOters hardly can wait
to see it in action against the Franklin
team at the y. VI. c. A. Saturday night.

Butler Squad Tops
DentaLs In Exciting
Clash at IrUi1tgtOn
Enthusiastic CrOUd Sees Spec
tacuLdr Game in Which
Several Players Star.
BY HEZE CLARK.

A spirit of sportsmanship prevailed
last night at the Butler gymnasium,
W here Butler and the Indiana Dental
College renewed their athletic relations
after years Iay-off. The gymnasium
was filed with students and the alumni
Of both schools and never have two To-
cal colleges given a better exhibition Of
craftsmanship than was seen In the Irv
ington gymnasium. This WAS true on the
part of the spectators and the players.
Butler won. 81 to %, In the cleanest
and fastest basket-b ball game ever played
between the two colleges. The Tooth
Pullers and the Butler Bull Dogs have
met about fifteen times In basket ball,
but never have the teams played faster
basketball than was witnessed last
night. Excellent officiating by Hap"
Craigle and Ross Smith played an I'm
portant part In the game, which was
splendid exhibition Of the great indoor
sport.
From the first 1t was known that the
teams were evenly matched and the spec
tators were not disappointed in the class
Of basketball played. The Dentals OBJ
tained more close shots than did the
Blue and White athletes. but the field
goal shooting Of Hooker In the opening
half kept Butler in the running in that
period. The Dentals led at the half, ID
to 49,
Foul goal shooting by P. E. Brown,
last half for the Irvington quintette. In
that period Brown scored eight foul
goals and three field goals. Hooker did
not get a basket In the final half. Dur
ing the game Brown scored eleven foul
goals out Of fourteen chances. The
Dental team got but two foul goals out
Of eight chances The Dentals tossed
twelve field goals, and Butler scored ten
field goals.
McVaugh gave his team an advantage
by getting the tip of at center. The
passing OF Captain Witter. Mcpherson
aud Reeve kept the Butler defense busy.
Mathew playing his first game with the
Dentals, was a big factor in battling the
offense OF White, Hooker and Brown.
Mcpherson did the moss sensational bit
Of dribbling during the contest when,
In the second half, he got the ball and
dribbled the length OF the door through
the entire Butler team to a point near
the basket where he Gagged a field goal.

WABASH SHOWS
SCORING CLASS
Scarlet BOmbards Em-ROe
Basket and Rolls Up
1917 Victory.

The Wabash College basket Eve out
played the indianapolis EN- Roes at every
stage of the court game to post 39to-17
victory on the Y. NJ. C. A. floor last
night.
The Em-Roes, with only two of the
'old reliables" in their lineup, showed
plainly the>lack Of teamwork, both on de-
Tense and offense, and their game last
night was inferior to that which local
fans have been accustomed to seeing them
play. The regulation Green and White
passing was not there.
The speedy Scarlet crew, of which
AIonzo Goldsberry, chosen all-American
high school center from Wingate last
year, is easily the main cog, ran ram
pant through the ranks OF the Green and
| White athletes.
Wabash started ont with a nine point
lead before the En- -ROes scored and were
out in front, 10 to o, when the rest pc
Rod WAS reached. indianapolis fans were
pulling for an En- Roe comeback in the
second period, but every move of a Green
and White athlete vas followed by a
lighting Scarlet-clad, and nearly every at
\ tempt of the locals to rally was hur-
riedly smothered.
Schoeneman was the only independent
player on the floor who offered anything
like old En- Roe form. The lanky player
was in the going all the time and man
I
shooting them from a distance when his
teammates failed to work the ball up to
the basket for him. Schoeneman also
counted seven times from the foul line.
Johnny Hennessey played a snappy game
for the local qulntette during the short
time he was on the floor, caging one
field goal and barely missing several
long shots.
The work of Goldsberry of Wabash
was worth the price of admission. This
youth showed a lot of basketball brains
last night and gave Indication of becom-
ing one of the greatest players wabash
ever knew. He has speed and is In the
ight all the time, making his oppon-
ents shoot la a hurry when they get the
ball. and getting rid of the ball In dou
hle quick time himself The lanky fresh
man registered ten field goals. Ad-
| ans and Burns also played prominent
parts In the Wabash win.
wabash plays the Merchants Heat and
! Light team on the Y. NJ. c. A. floor next
Tuesday night and tackles the En- Roes
for the second time at Charlottesville
on Dec. 10.
The officiating by Referee Head and
their hard work in keeping the game
moving and as free from fouls as pos
sible. several poor losers among the
crowd found fault and shouted dlsap-
proval in rough neck fashion. When
Referee Head attempted to make an an
! nouncement between halves regarding a
future game a few hoOdlums refused to
remain quiet and as result his an
nouncement was heard by only a few.
He wished TO call attention TO the re-
! turn OF the Wabash FIVE here next Tues
day for a game with the Merchants Heat
and Light team.
The majority of the big crowd last
night was satisfied with the performance
and, though the local team lost. the fans
cheerfully gave credit to the speedy
Wabash players. The EN- Roes need
more practice and no doubt will come
| through later after their passing has
/ been worked over.

OHIO TO HAVE
NO EASY TIME
California Looms Strong and
Buckeyes New Years
Task Looks Big.

CHICAGO, Dec. S.-University Of Cal
ifornia's football team. which will meet
Ohio State. Western Conference cham
pions, in the intersectional struggle at
Pasadena on New Years day, has made
a splendid record. which shows the ag-
gregation to be one of great offensive and
defensive power.
The far western eleven is ably coached
by Andy Smith. former University OF
PENNSYLVANIA player, who later coacnee
at Purdue. Before coming West Smith
was one of the assistant mentors at Penn
at the time Michigan played home and
home games with the Red and Blue.
WHAT BUCKEYES
WILL MEET.
During the time he was at Purdue
Smith turned out teams which We're
worthy opponents for other Big Ten
elevens. The teams were highly coached
in fundamentals, while the defense was
among the best ever displayed by Boiler
maker teams Purdue always had CON
centrated attack with eleven men IN
every play, and 1t is only reasonable to
assume Ohio State will be called upon to
| meet just such an offense.
Among CALIFORNIA; victims was wash
ington State College, which submitted to
a 49-tO-0 defeat. It will be recalled that
Washington State defeated Nebraska on
Thanksgiving day, 81 to 20. It also viii
be remembered that the Cornhusker5
went East and defeated Rutgers, and
then gave Penn State a hard battle. In
addition, Nebraska played great football
against NOtre Dame.
California has scored 49, points against
its opponents II in the eight games
played. 1t ran up 127 points against st.
Mary's and defeated Stanford, 36 to 0.
| Oregon Aggies furnished the sttfest OPP
position, but fell, II to Z.
ROSS PREDICTS
COAST VICTORY.
Norman Ross, well known swimmer Of
the Illinois A. c., has been in close touch
with the football situation on the coast
this fall, and firmly believes California
will win. Ross saw the Buckeyes against
Chicago, and WAS not impressed with
their showing.
Unless Ohio State can play much bet
ter football than ii showed against Chi
cage, the Californians will win sure"
/ Ross said. II have seen a lot Of foot
ball on the coast and it appears to me
there is little difference in the style OF
/ play. The players out there are just a5

need is the coaching. / know the fans
out there have confidence in Smith and
for these reasons l look for an Ohio
defeat"

more than the political side Of the game,
will be effected.

field for playing talent. as are several
other National League clubs.

tons il looks like an Old-time winter

Il is now believed certain, viii train at
Shreveport La. Brooklyn may select
New Orleans or Baton Rouge.
President Baker of the Philliles may
announce the name of a new manager
during the coming week. Bill Donovan,
who managed Jersey City last season, is
the latest man mentioned for the berth.
The two major leagues will hold meet
ings Tuesday or Wednesday to ratify
the new national agreement whenever the
joint committee is ready to present 1t.
Later the major leagues may hold a

FRANKLIN, Ind. Dec. S.-Anderson
High School basket tossers turned the
stables on the Franklin five here last night

run OF dope.
Last nights game was simply q re-

test when the franklin scrappers came
back strong In the second session and
game within an ace OF taking the game

when Anderson broke loose with only
