HARDWOOD VETERANS
FORM STELLAR FOES
FOR LEGION TONIGHT

Led by Matt Hinkle, famous basket
ball player from the championship
University of Chicago basketball team
of two years ago. the Junior Chamber
of Commerce five of indianapolis will
invade the American Legion territory,
Wednesday night to engage in a 40
minute battle on the hardwood court
at the Coliseum.
Hinkle was chosen all conference
forward for two years during his ca
reer on the Chicago five. He played
On the varsity team for three years.
While playing with Chicago he was a
forward but is covering the running
guard for the Chamber of Commerce
team. He is a wonderful all-round
| player, covering the floor well, is very
| fast and possesses an uncanny eye for
the basket. dropping them in from all
angles of the floor
The Legion boys are in good condi-
! ton for the game. They are planning
| to avenge their defeat by the Miami
university five last week at the ex-
pense of the Indianapolis five. Sever
| al of the local men will be missing
from the Legion lineup Wednesday
night as they are away during the
| Christmas holidays. Little, Stenger
and Higgins will not be in uniform
Wednesday night and their absence
will be keenly felt.
! The exact lineup for the Legion
! boys in the game against the Chamber
| of Commerce is not known and prob
ably will not be picked until the last
minute. Samuels. formerly of the Lib
erty high school five, and now playing
with the Boston Independents, has
been working out with the locals and
| it is possible that he will be given a
chance in Wednesday nights game.
! He will either be used at forward or
in the pivot position.
| Formidable Lineup.
A very formidable lineup will be
! presented by the Capitol City five and
the wearers of the Old Gold will find
them a very hard gang to trim. In
their lineup are several former col
lege stars of considerable note. The
team has played some of the best col
lege fives in the state and have drop
ped them by very close scores, losing
to the famous Wabash five by 10
points, dropping a hard fought battle
to the wonderful Purdue five by two
points and losing to the Butler college
five by four points.
4 Kingsolver, of Franklin college
plays one forward position and was
!, one of the best net men ever turned
out of the Franklin school, playing
! four years on the Baptist team. He
is very speedy and can be counted up
on to drop one through the MEETINGS
whenever two points are needed. His
running mate probably will be Johnny
Hennessey, who has had considerable
experience in the indoor game around
Indianapolis and was one of the main
stays of the Em-Roes last season.
: In the pivot position will be found
, Doc Campbell, one of the mainStays ot
, the wonder Purdue five of two years
ago. Doc was one of the best offensive
| men that ever wore a Purdue uniform
/ He is tall, lanky fellow and is a deat
shot on Observation-Disclosures. He
will make Simmons step along to keel
pace with him.
Hot Pair of Guards
! Matt Hinkle and F. Coffing will han
r die the guarding section for the c. O.
r C.'s. They are one of the best pair:
! of guards in the Independent circle:
r this season. Hinkle needs no more in
PRODUCTION and Coffing was one of thu
uldluSldyS Vi Tie I'VE last SEQ
: son. He formerly was a back guard
, but with such a man as Miller, tht
| Purdue mentor tried him at center
: where he played whale of a game
although his original position is at thu
stationary guard. He is capable o
dropping them through the netting
l for two points from the center of thu
floor.
They will have several good mel
on the bench ready to go into the fra,
| at any time. Hank Stevens and E
Cofing probably will be given chanc'
in the forward positions. Buschman
l. an old Indiana star, will be used /!
the floor guarding position.
Il Probably no team that has appeare'
I against the Legion men this season
/ will present as formidable a lineu
5 as will be seen nthe floor in Wednes
day nights game.

= be played between the Camera Sho
