Wabash Busily Engaged
Bolstering Forces for
De Pauw Clash Saturday

CRAwFORDSYILLE. Ind, Feb. IA
Wabash's feature game Of its home card
is scheduled to be staged here Saturday
night when the De Paw basket Dali
team meets the Scarlet in their second
clash of the season. The contest VIII
get started at 7:30 o'clock in order that
out-of-town fans may be able to make
good traction car connections.
The coming scrap with the Tigers Is
the talk Of the town. More encourage
ment has been given the Little Giant s
followers since their showing In Illinois,
where they won both games by wide
margins. But despite this the tinI
which seems to be lowering over the local
court Is causing many fans more than
little worry. The Wabashers have
failed to show any OF their extra speed
and class In their stiff games here this
season.
Pete Vaughan, Scarlet coach. started
his athletes on a week OF stiff practice
Monday afternoon. Pete knows that his
players must be in perfect shape in order
to be able to show their ability against
the Tigers and he is counting on having
the men in real trim.
Tickets for the coming contest have
been put on sale at a local store and
are selling fast. A big crowd Is ex-
pected to witness the scrap. Many In
dianapolis alumni are expecting to be
present for the clash.

Vaughan Signed for
Three More Seasons
as Coach at Wabash

CRAWFORDSvILLE. Ind, Feb. IA
Robert (Pete) Vaughan, Wabash College
head coach, has been placed under new
and lucrative contract that assures the
presence Of the big mentor here for three
more years. The new contract was ap-
proved by the board Of trustees Of Wa
bash today and extends Vaughan's serv-
ices here until 1928.
Followers of the Scarlet were elated
when it became known that Vaughan had
been re-engaged for a long term. He is
popular with students, townspeople and
alumni, for his record here with the Wa
bash basket ball and football teams has
been a scourse of pride to Scarlet fol-
lowers.
Vaughan took charge Of football here
in 1918 and later his services were ex-
tended 10 both the grid sport and basket
ball. In his college days he attended
both Notre Dame and Princeton and later
coached at Purdue and the University OF
California. He left the California berth
TO enter the Army during the war period,
coming to Wabash after being discharged
from the service. His basketball and
football teams have gained wabash
country wide fame and there is no doubt
but that his teams will continue to de-
liver on a high plane.

King George to Try His
Luck at Hurdling Races
With String of Horses

LONDON. Feb. 14.-Disappointed by
his lack Of success on the turf during
the fat-racing season, King George is
breaking precedent by taking strictly
commercial view In setting a number Of
his three and four-year-olds to earn
their winters keep" at the less profitable
sport Of hurdle racing.
Owing to their superior breeding the
royal recruits should do we'll, as "class"
is usually lacking In the entrants for
these events. Hurdle-racing started
Nov. % and lasts until the third week In
March.
While steeplechasing and hurdllng is
extremely popular here, very few owners
are willing to risk the legs and necks of
high-priced animals over the sticks"
and the prizes are small compared with
those offered for fat-races. Hence It has
been considered, hitherto, distinctly
'Infra dig" for the sovereign to partici-
pate in the smaller events over obstacles
King Edward ran few intended cast
offs" over hurdles with a view to raising
their selling price in the event Of sue
cess but they were soon disposed Of. and
generally speaking the royal purple and
scarlet livery is rarely seen In cross
country events
game" include the well-bred but disap-
pointing colts, VIII Somers, Perfect
knight and Bowood, animals which set
up a heart breaking sequence of seconds
and thirds in fat races. Dick Marsh, the
popular royal trainer, has given them q
good schooling over obstacles The King
has no intention of giving up racing, but
he cannot afford to keep well-bred
animals who are unable to win. If VIII
Somers & Co win few hurdle races they
win have another years lease of life at
the Egerton House stables, Nemarket. If
not the horses will be sold.
Royal patronage will give an immense
impetus to the winter sport, and a num-
Der of leading owners have decided to
throw down the gauntlet, regardless of
the risk of accidents to valuable stud
horses.

WRESTLING
] THE WORLD OF SPORT Z
SENTIMENT AMONG COLLEGIATE
DIRECTORS FAV ORABLE TOWARD
FORMING A SECOND BIG TEN

ize two new conferences has been put
forward.
Authorities of Detroit University
would approve joining such conference, "
declared Charles l.. Bruce, graduate man
ager of athletics at Detroit.
1.-The proposed conference Of Wabash,
Notre Dame, Michigan Aggies, Mar
Quette, st. Louis, Detroit and possibly
Nebraska, would be most attractive, es-
pecially geographically, If for no other
reason than to silence the 'holier than
thou critics and obtain credit for our
efforts to maintain high athletic stand
ards.
Detroit would agree with the others
to observe definite eligibility rules.
Some active national collegiate organ
ization must be recognized eventually to
eliminate professionalism and other
abuses. Conferences are a step In the
right direction. although the scope is
limited"
Robert Vaughan, who has made an en-
viable record as coach Of the Little
Giants at Wabash on Eastern as well as
Midwestern gridirons. said:
THE idea Of being a member OF such
a conference Is certainly very attractive
in many ways. The proposal comes as
"A surprise and l doubt II such a con-
ference would be adapted to the present
needs OF Wabash, but IL is matter
which would have to come before our
board of faculty control for definite ac-
ton and answer"

BILLIARDS
HOPPE SHOWS
MASTER STROKE

After giving local cue fans two ex-
hibitions Of nigh class billiards Monday
afternoon and evening, Willie Hoppe,
former king of the green cloth game,
was ready to parade his science two
more times for Indianapolis friends and
admirers. Hoppe and Charles Peterson,
fancy shot wizard, opened a o-day en-
gagement at the Cooler parlors in the DC
cidental luilding Monday. and they are
to complete their annual visit here to-
day with like programs this afternoon
and evening at 80 and o'clock.
Hoppe defeated Peterson twice Monday.
In the night game, which lasted thirteen
innings, Hoppe scored his 800 points
while the fancy shot artist marked
total Of 100. In the afternoon contest
Hoppe showed great skill by scoring his
300 points in six innings for an aver
age Of fifty billiards to the inning, while
Peterson made but sixty billiards. Fol
lowing the bnlkline games both experts
played a twenty nye-point game at three
cushions, In which Hoppe was victor
In the afternoon Hoppe scored his
twenty -four innings while Peterson was
making nine, but in the evening Peter
son gave Hoppe a much better argument
and reached the twenty three button be-
fore Hoppe went out. Following the
three-cushion games Peterson gave
number of his own original trick shots,
at which h9 excels, and drew much ap-
plause for his manipulation Of the ivo-
rles.
At the balkline style Of play Hoppe
showed sensational form in both games
and in the afternoon counted a high run
of 1873 In the evening, after many bad
rolls Of the balls, Hoppe found control
to the extent of a run of 300.
His play on these two long counts was
marvellous and time after time when bad
rolls lined up the balls the ex-champion
executed difficult masse shots that again
brought the balls in perfect position Of
more counts. Scores

ported to have gathered unto himself

Dundee has been mingling with all the

was not until recently that he succeeded

nov the recognized junior lightweight,

The Italian has mingled with four

TO a draw with Ktbane In Vernon, Cal.
He has been one Of the most attractive

BASKETBALL
BAKER CHARGE
BEFORE LEAGUE
'Tampering Talk Not Elk
pected to Cause National
Owners Any Trouble.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-Charges of tam
pering with Philadelphia players made
against the Brooklyn and st. Louis clubs
to be heard today will result in more
smoke than fire, National League club
owners inferred as they gathered Tor
their schedule meeting today.
William F. Baker, president Of the
club, put his complaint in a fifty word
formal charge filed late yesterday with
John O. Heydler, president of the league.
Charles Ebbetts, owner of the Robins,
and Sam Breadon, president of the Cards,
said today they would be able to prove
their innocence Of violating the rule
which carries with it a fine of $1,000.
When the Philadelphia magnate
opened up on the Brooklyn club, Squire
Ebbets wrote Manager Robinson for con-
frmatiOn of a story told to him by
Robby at the December meeting OF the
National League. Uncle Wilbert mailed
the explanation from Dover Hall last
week and Ebbets gave 1t out for pub
lication yesterday. In his letter Robin
son says he mentioned his need of
shortstOp to Irving Wilhelm, manager of
the PhiIlies, when they set up a con-
Versation at the meeting. In the course
of the conversation, Robinson AYERS,
Fletchers name was mentioned. Wilhelm
expressed doubt that Fletcher would re-
turn to the Philadelphia club and sug
geSted that Robinson write the player
with a view to bringing him back to the
league. The Brooklyn manager declared
he did not wish to appear to be tamper
ing with player under reservation by
another club, but asserted that Wilhelm
gave him that permission and added he
would speak to Baker about it. Where
upon Robinson wrote to Fletcher, with
what result he does not state. This was
TO be the defense of the Brooklyn club
today.
Approval of the 1922 schedule is only
Z formality as it has already been printed
FOR release tomorrow. The draft Ques-
Eon Is not expected to enter into the
discussion as the club owners want to
leave it in the hands of the advisory
eouncil. Appropriation of a fund to pro-
vide prize for the player selected as the
most valuable in the league is also ex-
pected.
The holdout question seemed para
mount in the informal discussion among
the magnates The majority of the mo-
Euls, including Garry Hermann, william
Veeek, Charles Ebbetts and Sam BreadOn,
paid the players would be reasonable or
they would not play. 1t has also been
practically agreed by the club owners
pct to take a holdout player to the

CHICAGO, Feb. 14.-Sentiment among
Western collegiate athletic directors is
nearly 100 per cent back Of formation Of
a second western conference composed Of
the larger schools outside of the Big Ten.
This was shown today when coaches
and athletic directors Of some of the
colleges mentioned for the new circuit,
wired the United Press that they were
for the new conference. Every reply re
ceived by the United Press, in answer
to messages asking the opinion of coaches
and athletic directors, was favorable.
A meeting will be held in st. Paul

Northwest conference and a second west

RING GOSSIP
CLUB
SETS PROGRAM
Main Bout Here Feb. q to Be
Downey Griffiths, as
Planned Originally.

Officials Of the Progress Athletic Club
today closed for the appearance here OF
Anthony DoWney of Cincinnati and John
ny Griffiths of Akron, Ohio, in the main
bout of ten rounds at Tomlinson Hall,
Monday, Feb. p. Matchmaker Dillon had
this match in view some time ago, but
was reluctant at using Griffiths when
the Akron veteran took on Mickey Walker
last Friday and lost. However, Griffiths
convinced Dillon that it was not because
Of not being in shape that he lost and
said he would come here five days
ahead of the Downey scrap just to prove
to the fans that he is in form to give
any man at his weight a real battle
Johnny appeared to be so earnest about
his promise that the Progress Athletic
Club head decided to give him a chance.
The efforts to obtain Jock Malone OF
st. Pail to box DOWney failed when
Malone answered that he had a bout
booked for 4 date shortly after Feb. p,
and he didn't care for so much action ar
once.
Downey and Griffths fight at the same
poundage, hitting the scales around 154.
Griffiths is a veteran and Downey is q
youngster, so 1t will be another one Of
those youth VS.. age affairs and action
a-plenty doubtless will result.
Downey also will come to the city
a few days ahead of the day of the bout
in order to give the fans a chance to
get line on his prowess. He has been
doing nicely in bouts around Cincinnati
and will draw quite a few followers over
for the Griffiths bout.
There is some keen rivalry between
DOwney and Griffiths and the scrap may
result in a better go than some people
imagine. Both boys hail from Ohio and
each claims to be the best in the Buck
eye State at the 1J0-155- pound ranks.
Matchmaker Dillon is arranging
strong preliminary card to help make
the evenings program attractive. He
Will use Jack Darcy, 40 pounds, OF
Cincinnati, in the semi -windup against
