Billiard Champions
Coming Here Monday
for Big Exhibitions
Schdfer, COnquerOr of Hoppe,
and Cont Play at Board
of Trade ParLOrS.

Roger Cont, champion billiardist or
France, and Jake Schaefer, champion Of
the world at 1872 balkline billiards, who
are scheduled to appear here In four
exhibitions Monday and Tuesday after
noon and night at the Board of Trade
billiard parlors, are scheduled to arrive
in the city tomorrow morning. Manager
HOllstein of the local parlors is to be
congratulated on his signing up this
pair of billiard wonders for local exhi-
bitions, and that the fans are ready and
eager to witness them in action Is shown
by the early rush for reserved seats.
Monday night from all indications win
be very much ladies' night, as already
many of the fair sex have made 1t known
that they will be in the audience when
the two stars lag for the break.
In Schafer and Cont local fans will
see the two greatest stars of the present
and past at the 1872 balkline game. No
living player ever has shown the con-
sistent execution that the present cham
held in Chicago in November when he
won the title and In which he had to
do the almost impossible feat OF defeat
ing Willie Hoppe twice Schafer not only
beat Hoppe. who up to this time had
been known as the unbeatable, but gave
the ex-champ the worst beating OF MS
billiard career.
In the final scheduled game OF the
tourney, Schafer scored his 400 points
Will eHoppe made but 26 this game,
threw the two stars in a tie for the
title. In the playoff they decided TO play
500 points and Schafer again showed
himself the master of Hoppe by beating
him 500 to 346.
Like his father, who also reached the
top rung in championship billiards, young
Jake has perfected the art and in the
minds of many who have followed the
game, he looks to hold the title for years
to come. Shafer is but 20 years OF age
and by a system of daily exercise keeps
himself in perfect condition physically.
In Cont, local fans will see the great
est that France has to offer and the
only player in the recent Chicago tourna-
ment who gained a victory over young
Jake. Cont also ran second high In
single averages of the meet which showed
him having scored 400 points at an aver
age of so to the inning. Cont is but
20 years OF age anG has made won
derful impression IA this country In the
short time that he has been here by his
marvellous manipulation OF the ivory balls.
Manager Hollstein announces that the
afternoon games will starr at 3 o'clock.
while the evening games will start at
O'Clock.

Lafayette Boosters
Said to Haze Part
in Dietz Troubles
TOUnspeopIe Thought They
SaIU Chance to Aid Purdue
Football, RspOrts State.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, jan. 21.-Over-
Jealous townspeople who desired to help
get Purdue out of the football rut are
said to have been behind Former Coach
Dietz in his alleged connection with
searching for gridiron talent among the
west. 1t is common gossip in this col
lege town that business men and alumni
had raised a fund of something like $12,-
900 to be used. According to local belief
this practice has been done, and is being
done in many other cities, and especially
in places where the larger universities
are located.
The business men, being ardent grid
iron fans, thought they were doing the
university a service, but a big mistake
was made when Coach Dietz was per-
mitted to dabbIe in any negotiations
when the latter was coach in the North
west, and who afterward was a member
of the Mare Island Marines in 1913, with
Dietz as the coach, was the Purdue men
tors agent in the Northwest.
Negotiations had been started to bring
Hanley to Purdue as an assistant to
Dietz. Hanley was willing, and, accord
ing to DietZ, stated he could bring some
promising timber with him.
Although Dietz absolutely denies he
made any personal offers of aid, he does
admit he corresponded with Hanley rela-
is unfortunate for Dietz that he allowed
his name to be brought into the dealings,
as he will be the one to suffer.
The Indian mentor has been popular
with students, alumni, and townspeople,
all of whom wanted the authorities to
good. That the townspeople were be-
hind him, is shown by the large fund
raised, and the support they intended to
give him.

criminal charges that there is no place
in organized baseball for players against
whom there is the slightest suspicion Of

Bedford Looms Strong
in Defeat of Franklin

BEDFORD, Ind, Jan. 21-Bedford
stepped up into the limelight OF Hoosier
hig school basketball Friday night by
winning a decisive victory over the
Franklin five, 1924. Coach Abbet1's five

well deserved victory. At only one
time was the Franklin team in the lead
and that was about ten minutes after
the start Of the game when the visitors
had run up a to advantage. Bedford
rallied at this point and forged ahead
and was leading at the half time by a

sharpshOoting of Dye was deadly, the
clever forward ringing seven from the

seemed a bit OF form, getting only two
field goals. Friddle was good for only
one basket Ballard counted three from
the field.
The team representing Bedford Is the
strongest in years and must be con-
sidered among the top-notchers Of the
State. The five playing at the speed
shown last night would be hard for
any team to stop.

up of all professional players on their
teams. Several days ago it was an
nounced that three of the star players
on the Lawrence College team of Ap-

ment aroused the wrath of the student
body and appeals were made to the in.
stitution's president, but to no avail
Friday Ripon College, which is located
near this city, announced the dismissal
of Oscar Herbert and Merritt Gustin, the
latter one Of the greatest athletes in the
State and captain of the basketball team.
He was reported to have played profes

players wrecks all chances Ripon had
for winning the State title.
