CHICAGO Jan. 2S.- Coaches of
big ten athletic teams were unani-
NOUS today in praise of the action
taken by the University of Illinois
athletic council in declaring ineligible
nine men who admitted yesterday
having participated in a semi-pro
fessional post-season football game.
Although three of the men ruled
out of future Illinois athletics -
Crangle, Sternaman and Walquist-
were star members of the varsity
football and basketball teams. the
wholesale cleanup at Illinois was de-
clared by Coach Robert Zuppke TO be
a good thing. Other coaches eX-
pressed their intention Of prying into
alleged professionalism and the Illi-
nois action was taken as a forerunner
of quiet Investigations to be made in
every Western conference university.
Coach Tom Jones of Wisconsin de-
clared there was "a great deal of
professionalism among college play
ers" adding that if such a situation
was not changed. it would mean the
end of intercollegiate games.
Illinois in taking such action was
observing the ideals of the Western
Conference" DR.. J. c. Wiles. football
coach at Ohio State said, expressing
the hope that thorough cleanup"
would be made. Without question
the college is the hope for maintain
ing amateur principles in sport" he
added.

CHICAGO, Jan. 28.-The bitter
rivalry between two small towns,
which became so acute that ap-
proximately 100000 was bet on
football game, was the real cause
of the athletic scandal which re-
suited in disqualification last nlght
of nine University of Illinois athletes
and which threatens to reach into
Notre Dame University.
A group of citizens Of Carlinville,
Ills, it was learned tonight, decided
last fall financially to "clean out"
the rival town of Taylorville, by OBJ
tanning ten college stars to play on
their football team, and with victory
apparently assured, to bet the limit
on the annual contest. But Taylor
vile learned of the plan, obtained
nine college stars and not only de-
feated Carlinville, but is said to have
won nearly $4,000 by covering every
Carlinville bet made.
Ten Notre Dame players were in
the Carlinville lineup, according 10
statements by citizens, while the nine
disqualified Illinois men played on
the Taylorville eleven.
In the Carlinville lineup, according
to persons associated with the team,
were Gus Desch, member Of the
American OlJ lCNlA
champion 440-yard hurdler; chester
Wynne, selected by some as all
Western Conference fullback, ana
John Mohardt, all-American selection
OF several football writer's. All played
on the Notre Dame eleven last fan.
In 1920 Carlinville won from Tay-
1orville, 10 to Z, at Carlinville, Taylor
Vile then boasted that next year,
with their team at home, there would
be stories.
Several Carlinville people then con-
ceived the safe betting" idea OF
filling their lineup with college stars.
Oyertures were made to Notre Dame
men, according to hackers OF the
Car.inville team, and 1t was agreed
to pay the ten men $500 each plus
their expenses, the total being $2,70O.
The persons who arranged the af-
fair passed the word to their friends
TO bet the limit. A special train was
hired and a band taken to Taylor
VILE. Farmers arranged to join the
pilgrimage and in nearly every case
= wellfilled wallet was taken along.
Each person who received the CON
fidentiaI' information, apparently
passed 1t on to another friend, for
gradually the word was spread into
Taylorville. At the same time Taylor
willie received word Carlinville was
ready to back its team with the fam
lily jewelry IL necessary.
CONSERVATION spread through Tay-
iorville at the idea of sending their
team against nationally known col

Iege players. Then, a few citizens
decided also to seek little college
aid.
Quietly the word was passed not
to fear Carlinville-that a means OF
defeating their rivals plans had been
found.
When the time for the game came,
a group Of Carlinville citizens begTn
checking up in one corner OF the
field. They found their citizens
reached the same conclusion.
When the Carlinville eleven came
on the field the visiting rooters rose
what are we yelling for? That's

vile woman.
"Oh, no, that's Carlinvilla" re-
piled a Tayloryille policeman.
II guess / know our boys and not
one Of these fellows is from Carlin-
ville," Indignantly replied the woman.
Taylorville in the first half used
its regular home town team. At the
end of the half, Taylorville led seven
to nothing. Then out on the field
trotted nine stars from the University
of Illinois. They had been held un-
der cover.
Little Sternaman circled around
the Carlinville ends. Jack Crangle
plunged through the line and Larry
Walquist, forward, passed for big
gains. The game ended with Taylor
Vile winner 16 to 0. $4,000 to the
good, and Carlinville out an equal
sum.
Bert Wilson, grocery store owner
at Ca-linville tonight said Carlinvilie
had no hard feeling against Taylor
Vile over the game.

little outside of the number of can

weeks before any definite line can be
gained on the valley track stars.

Tomorrow afternoon candidates for
the Phoenix high school track team
win unwrap spikes and athletic togs
and gather on the high school field
for the first track workout of the
1922 season.
Coach Heidenrich who developed a
team of state champions at the high
school last year, believes in an early
start-hence the call for candidates
tomorrow. Heidenrich expects the
biggest year in the history of Phoe-
nix athletics and he predicts the state
title will again rest with the Coyotes.
The ideal climate of the Salt River
valley makes early training possible
and gives the local stars an advan-
tage over northern schools. The
knights of the cinder path will be
breezing along in mid-season form
before the snow melts in the east
and north.
The track at the high school is
undergoing a course of grooming
and with plenty of new equipment on
hand the athletes will take to the
training routine with increased in
terest.
A number OF lettermen from last
years Greatest Team will be out
tomorrow. Captain Workman who
broke the state record for the discus
throw last year, is back again and

Boston is figuring on using Joe
Dugan, acquired from the Athletics,
at short stop.
Manager Duffy OF the Red Sox
figures he has mighty good infield
with Foster at third, Dugan at short,
Phatt at second ana George Burns at
first.
On paper It is a mighty good look
ing infield. Shortstop, however, is
the questionable position.
Joe Dugan is a great third base
man. He has a brighter future than
any other recruit infielder in the
American League.
Dugan likes to play third base.
That fact, coupled with his remark
able ability, has made him the most
talked about youngster in the Amert-
can League.
Joe Dugan doesn't like to play
shortstop. Connie Mack has needed
a short stop ever since the departure
of Jack Barry. Mack tried his very
best to develop Dugan into a short
STOP
At times ahe youngster gave
flashes Of his remarkable ability as
an infielder. However, Joe never
liked the position. He has often re-
marked to me when I was umpiring
on the bases: II am third baseman.
not a shortstop. A fellow has too
many things to do at this position to
suit me-"
Joe is rather temperamental. II he
doesn't like a thing well, he doesn't
like 1t. Joe is willing young man.
IF Hughey Duffy decides to use him
at short. he will give him HIS very
best. However. 1t will be spelling a
great third baseman for an ordinary
shortstop.
II Joe should acceptably fill the
bill at short. Duffy will have a
mighty good infield. 1t is an infield
that combines a pretty good defense
with much offensive power.
sss
However, Duffy is protected. should
he decide that Joe Dugan should be
played at third rather than short. He
has Frank O'Rourke, secured from
Washington, to fall back on.
O'Rourke is a mighty Intelligent
ball player. If nature had only en-
dowed him with a stronger throwing
arm, he would easily win a berth as
a big league regular. A rather weak
arm has held him back.
