SEASON HERE
Little Giants Meet Chamber of
Commerce Five in
Initial Clash.

CHARLOTTESVILLE Ind, Dec. Il
The opening basketball scrap for the
Wabash net players will be staged at
Tomlinson fall, Indianapolis, next
Wednesday night when the Little Giants
hook up with the Junior Chamber OF
Commerce five there, according to an an
nouncement by Coach Vaughan This
game, which was only tentative, has been
decided upon and the Scarlet outfit VIII
be ready to put up a classy brand or
basketball
Although Vaughan has been working
with mis- athletes for only little more
than week, they are beginning to show
some Of last seasons form and should
be in fair condition when they take on
the Indianapolis team. Capt. Crater and
Burns will probably start at guards,
GOldsberry will no doubt jump at center,
while Adam will hold down one of the
forward positions. Thorn or Shelley, OF
last year 8 'outfit, or Crane, a freshman
will likely start at the other forward
berth.
The showing Of the Wabash freshman
PAW yearlings last week has given
basket ball hopes another boost here.
Several freshmen on the squad went
big" In the clash with the Tigers and
they are in line to make a hard try for
positions on the varsity. Peare, rangy
center, hit the net seven times from the
field and looked good. while Ril and
Crane were the speed men at floor work
This is the same Roll who tore off that
thirty seven-yard run for q touchdown
against the old rivals at Washington
Park last month after he had previously
plowed the line for another touchdown.

Dent FiUe Springs
Surprise on 1. u.
and Wins, 81 to n
Local Team Starts Work for
TUO Contests on Weeks
Card.

Following the 81 to "a victory over
Indiana University at Bloomington Sat
urday night, the Indiana Dental College
basket ball squad today started work
for two hard games this week. The
Dentals meet Muncie Normal at Mum
Gle Thursday night and North Manches-
ter College at North Manchester Friday
night. The Muncie team is far stronger
this year than last, while North Man
chester boasts Of the strongest quintette
in It's history.
The Dentals have played i've games
this season, winning them all. The Den
tails defeated the Indiana Law College,
rs to 10, downed the Huntington College
twice by scores of 10 to IL and "A to IA,
piled up a So to 81 score on the Eastern
Illinois State Normal team at Charleston,
ILL.,, and Saturday won a fast game from
Indiana University by a 81 to "A score.
In the Indiana game the Tooth Pullera
athletes. Mcpherson tossed a foul goal
and a second later Sanford scored a
foul goal for Indiana. Then the clever
little Reeves Gagged q field goal and the
Dentals were started. having gained a
lead that Indiana never overcame.
The indianapolis team played not only
fast passing game and found the bas-
ket regularly, but also fathomed their
opponents offense in such a way that
Indlanas short passes featured, made II
possible for Indiana to score. Eight field
goals were Indiana's limit, the remainder
of that teams points resulting from foul
missed five foul goals. Mcpherson scored
seven and missed i've foul goals for the
Dentals.
Thomas Of Indiana seemed much In
tereSted in Deakyne Of the Dentals, as
the two men had played on the same
in oh Hhomaa followed
Deakyne all over the floor but the Dental
forward twice Gagged the ball for field
goals and then began feeding the ball
TO his teammates.
Reeves did the long end Of the scor-
ing for the Tooth Pullers, dropping the
ball in the nets nine times. At center
Indiana almost always got the tip of,
but Mcpherson, Deakyne and Witter got
the ball most of the time and the In
diana team gained little advantage from
getting the jump. The first half ended
with the score: Dentals, II; Indiana, 10.
The Dentals, accustomed to a small
floor, failed TO melt on the big floor and
seemed to be masters OF the situation at
all times. o. Mathew, back guard on
the Tooth Pullers. broke up the short
passing game of the University players
time and again. Then Witter, McPher-
son, Deakyne and Reeves alternating the
style OF play from long TO short passing
types OF offense, worked the bail TO scor-
ing Instance ana urOppeu the bail through
the circle. AT one time the Dentals had
an eleven point lead. Still Indiana only
fought the harder and Buckner and
Grove fought desperately to halt the
speedy Tooth Pullers
Indiana's goal shooting was not consist
ent. Indiana's team scored but two field
goals In the first half Substitutes were
sent in for the Dents in the last minutes
OF play. Reeves was forced out after
he had collided with Mathew of his own
team and suffered a cut on the forehead.

BUTLER. s4t G. OF O.. %.

Butler defeated the Chamber Of Com
merce FIVE Saturday night In a close
game by the score Of 81 to %. The Com
merce five boosted an imposing lineup OF
all stars, but the Pagemen finally came
out on top largely due 10 the added fight
put into the Irvington squad when
Black was sent into the game at about
the middle OF the second half How
any one is going to keep the former Tech
player out of the game is hard TO fathem.
He showed more scrap along with real
ability in the short time he was in than
had been seen up to his appearance on
the scene.
Middlesworth looks like a better bas-
ket-ball player than he was last season.
Hooker is the same clever forward. He
got five baskets in the forty minutes of
play. The Butler team on Saturday
looked much better with Leslie at cen
ter, although Campbell of the Chamber
of Commerce five was enabled to get the
tip-off. The weak spot of the Butler
combination appears to be the back
guard position. Campbell, Hinkle and f.
Coffing showed well for the local inde.
pendent squad.
