Grid Letter Awards Are
Made at Purdue; Murphy
Named to Lead 20 Team

LAFAYETTE. Ind. Dec. Fifteen
players on the 1921 Purdue football team
has been awarded the major "P." The
selection of the men was made known
at the Kiwanis banquet Wednesday night.
Fourteen others were given minor ''P
for their work.
Edwards, who played in 1916 and after
returning to school following the war
has been helping with the coaching, was
awarded the "P." He received wounds
In his arm that made 1t impossible for
him to play, but he volunteered his serv
ices to the coaching staff and has proved
big help.
e. E. Murphy of Chicago was elected
captain of the 1922 team, following the
announcement of the names of the men
who were granted "P" letters.
Murphy is a Junior in the school Of
civil engineering. He was a member of
the S. A. T. c. team of 1918, and i'll
health kept him out of college the fol-
lowing year. In 1920 he returned and
made the varsity squad This year he
won regular quarter back on the team,
and performed creditably. The election
is a popular one at Purdue, as Murphy
is rated as one of the best quarters the
Boilermakers have had in years.

Dental Team Takes
on Huntington FiUe
in Contest Tonight

The Indiana Dental basket ball team
will play the Huntington College five
at the Y. NJ C. A. gymnasium tonight.
The game will start at 8 o'clock. Dale
Miller will referee.
In the final workout before the game
the Tooth Pullers showed clever passing.
The Dentals are expecting hard game,
for a week ago at Huntington the Hunt
ington College quintet held the Dentals
to an to Z score in the first half, but
The Dental squad appears to be better
balanced than last year and Coach Clark
has five forwards, Reeves, De Kayne,
Mcpherson, Gevertz and Rich, any one
of whom fits in well in the Dental team
play. Fleener appears to be the best
bet at center for the Dentals. Sparks
can also be used at that position as well
as at guard. Witter and the two Ma
thew brothers and two or three Nother
guards give the Dentals plenty OF
strength on defense.

Champ Zbyszko Here to Meet

Program.
MAT PROGRAM TONIGHT.

Zbyszko, champion, eSS pounds. Us. Go
bar, $50 pounds.
Reynolds, welterweight title claimant,
145 pounds, VS.. Anderson, Minneapolis, LAB
pounds.
Trout, lightweight title claimant, 1873
pounds, VS.. Mike Doney, Chicago, lbs
pounds.
Place-Broadway lTheater.
Time-8:15 D. m.
One of the best wrestling shows that
has been in this city for some time will
be staged this evening at the Broadway
Theater with Zbyszko, the heavyweight
champion Of the world, and Gobar, the
the two preliminary bouts Jack Reynolds,
claimant Of the welterweight title, will
take on Jimmy Anderson of Minneapolis,
and Trout of Kokomo, lightweight
claimant, will have a task on his hands
with Doney, a Greek from Chicago.
Considerable interest attends the main
go because Of the great record Of the big
Pole, who holds the title. Last Monday
night In New York Zbyszko defended his
title against STRANGER" Lewis and de-
two falls out Of three.
The champion arrived in town yester-
day and his manager states that the big
fellow is in splendid shape for the match.
The Pole Is rather a wonder of sportdom
because of his age. A wrestler at the
telling his admirers what he used to do.
But not so with Stanislaus, who Is still
defending his crown against all corners.
Gobar, the Hindu opponent, who is to
meet Zbyszko tonight, is no mean
wrestler himself and looks to be one Of
the most dangerous rivals that the pres
ent king Of grspplers must put out Of
his path. About three weeks ago the
Hindu WOE over Lewis in straight falls
at Michita, Kas. The big fellows will
weigh practically the same.
The first bout will no doubt furnish
plenty of action when Trout and Doney
meet. Trout, who is Indiana product,
is a wrestler who thoroughly knows the
tricks Of the trade and DOney must be
very good to win over the Kokomo boy.
In the second match of the evening
Jack Reynolds, who has taken up his
residence in this city, will meet Ander-
son. The men are welterweights and
both are recognized as real topnotchers
in their class. Reynolds, Who made a
very favorable impression in his first
bout IN this city at Tomlinson Hall, Is
the mat artist who is expected to emerge
the victor. The local man always trains
hard for his scraps and is confident of
pinning the Minnesota wrestler's should
ers to the mat.
The show had to be transferred to the
Broadway Theater at the last moment
because of conflict Of dates at Tomlin-
son hall The only ones to lose by this
arrangement are the promoters, who no
doubt will have to turn away number
of people who want to see the match.
The first bout Of the program starts at
SIS o'clock.

Cox, Famous Trainer, to
Leave Fletcher for East

Walter Cox, who for two years has
been trainer of Stoughton Fletcher's
he ,ees at Laurel Hall, will go East about
Dec 10 to train the stable of a well
known Eastern horseman at Goshen,
n. Y. The big sale of Fletcher's horses
in New York recently left only Peter the
Great and a few other thoroughbreds at
the Millersville stable and so Cox has
decided to go elsewhere.
Cox has been instrumental in develop
ing numerous youngsters into sensation
al performers on the Grand Circuit. This
season he won twenty three races In the
big time events, with the Laurel Hall
horses His best bet was the great 4
year old FLY, Jane the Great, with which
he won eight races and capped a brill
liant season with a 2:04 y victory at Lex
ingtln. Numerous other trotters made
good records and brought fine prices at
the New York sale.

COnnery Is Satisfied

Report from San FRANCISCO has It that
while Bob COnnery was in California re-
Gently he was offered the berth of man
aging the San Francisco Seals and at a
big salary. However, he declined. As
scout, travelling agent or whatever his
title may be with the New York Yam
KEGS COnnery draws big money, has more
authority than any ordinary scout in the
business and is altogether a power He
can make or unmake minor league club
through his favors and he can have a lot
to say about the makeup Of the Yam
KEGS. But as a team manager, while
he'd probably be one Of the games great
leaders, he has no ambitions.

The Recreation five got eighth place Dy
score of 2T17. They were three pins bet

outfit were sweet enough bowlers TO get
into fifteenth place with total OF Z,0f4.
Rotary Club No. L managed to bring up

twentieth with 1852 pins.
The Recreation pin maulers got better
as they went along with scores OF S1S,

mark in the last game accounted for the
high total Hamilton got 216, c. Irish,
2O7, and English, 2l3.
The Sugar Loaf team bowled excep-
tionally well most Of the time, but there
was always some member to fall below
his team mates with low score, which
kept the final team count down. The Sec
ond game of 9SS found everybody hitting
on all cylinders, fut the first game of
S07 was too mucE o overcome. In the
initial effort q score of 127 and another
Of 146 hurt the teams chances. In the
last game a count of 147 kept the Sugars
from finishing quite a bit higher.

The Profs Turn Now

Not long ago the little prof was some
what less than zero,
And never drew a friendly nod when
students passed him by.
The half back was a demi-God, an idol
and a hero,
And looked upon the little prof with
eold and seornful eye.
Departed is the football year, the shifts
and forward passes,
The punts and bucks are buried now
beneath the graveyard moss.
Trfumphantly the little prof surveys his
tOtling classes,
And with a happy smile he throws the
half back for a loss.
