ON ROSE FIVE
Local Boys Expect Hard Game
at Athenaeum Tonight
Amateurs Open Program.

The Indiana Dental College basket ball
team will meet Rose Poly tonight in the
big game of a double header bill to be
staged at the Athenaeum gymnasium,
Michigan and New Jersey streets. The
Pottawattami quintette meets the Lamb
ola Chi Alpha fraternity five in the cur
tain raiser, which starts at Z 80 p. M
The Dental Rose Poly game starts at
$50 p. IN, and John Head will referee
and FEEBLE will umpire. The Dentals are
not understanding the strength OF the
Engineers because the Rose team was
defeated by Butler last night. In that
game Hooker, the Butler sLIr, went wild
and his every shot registered a field goal.
1t just seemed that he could not miss
the basket, no matter how closely the
Engineers guarded him. The Dentals
know that in Relnbard the tall TO ward,
and COnOver. the speedy floor guard
that Rose Poly has a pair of players who
VIII cause any team no end Of trouble
These men had hard luck in their basket
shooting last night. but may get going
big ag~inst the Tooth Pullers tonight
The floor will be strange to both teams,
for neither quintette has played or pr0c-
ticed on the Athenaeum court this year.
The Dentals are on edge for the game.
Witter and Mathew probably will start
at guards, McN-uch at center, and Me
PherSon. Reeve ana Dea Kyue will all
have IA chance at forward.

rounds In his bout with Sailor Solly
Friedman here last night waiting for
Friedman to walk up and be knocked
out. Friedman stayed away from him
and, with the fight just one minute
short OF the finish, Referee Walter Houli-

There is doubt today as to whether
Houlihan intended to award the verdict
to Friedman or whether his action merely
declared the bout mo contest" Pay

han makes an official announcement on
this point.
Up to the time the fight was stopped
Friedman had the better of White He
carried the fight to the Chicago light

blows. White was slow and fought only
in spots, landing but one real punch in
the entire engagement. Friedman S

By knocking out Richie Mitchell in six
rounds DIT Madison Square Garden last
night, Leonard disposed of one of his

He started Mitchell on the road To de

with a terrific Highlander to the jaw
that latteued the Milwaukee boy for the
count Of nine. From that time on the
westerner fought in a daZed condition,
but fought the gRmest and most Sensa .
tiORal battle that New York ever has Wit
messed.
Before the first round ended and after
flooring Mitchell three times, Leonard
himself was foored by a hard left nook
to the chin that sent him down for the
count of nine. That punch carried so
much force that il knocked Leonard
cross eyed. For three or four seconds
