Two Drills Held
There was no school and practice
was held morning and afternoon.
The lineup is uncertain as yet, with
a fight on for every position.
In another Friday night fray
Broad Ripple meets Knightstown al
the Ripple gym. Previous records OF
both teams indicate a fairly even
battle.
There are three games Saturday
night. all Of them III indianapolis.
Local fans will have their choice OF
a trio Of struggles. Tech will play
its second game at the new armory
with Orville Hooker's Newcastle
five.
The visitors were defeated decisive
~ by Logansport last week, but re-
ports from Newcastle state that the
club plans a comeback at the ex-
pense Of the Green and White.
Task for Manual
The strong Bedford club will be
seen in action at the Manual gym.
The game originally was scheduled
at the armory, but Technical had
first call on the new floor. There
was some talk Of a double header,
but those plans fell through. Bed
ford plays at Charlottesville Friday
night.
Shortridge High School plays its
second game of the season at the
north side floor with Danville fur
nishing the opposition. There are
likely to be some changes in the local
lineup, as Tom Woods is making a
strong bid for place.

Billy Evans
Says
INSIDE STUFF

Is it possible to try to play too
much inside baseball?
Positively yes.
AS matter OF fact, IT is a very
easy matter to overdo the strategy
stuff in any line of sport.
Baseball, football, hockey and all
other sports have certain funda-
mentals that must be mastered. A
team we'll coached in these. having
IN addition great natural ability, will
get somewhere regardless Of the in
side stuff.
The strategy of any sport is really
of secondary consideration. No man
ager or coach can think for his play
ers or execute the plays.

CAREER OF RICKEY

One of the brightest baseball men
1 ever talked with, is Branch
Hickey, who managed both Of the
st. Louis clubs.
Hickey has a keen mind. He
knows baseball. Yet Hickey never
has met with much success as a
manager. In truth, am Of the
opinion Riekey knows too much base
ball for the good of his players.
The one thing that kept Ty Cobb
from being a great manager was his
inability to get on level with his
teammates. Cobb could think quick
~ and execute his thoughts just as
rapidly.

MORIARTY'S PLANS

I note that George Moriarty, new
manager Of the Detroit Tigers, says
his club will try to win ball games
with the least possible number Of
signals.
His observations as an umpire
have taught him the lesson that the
slaslfaway style is the best way to
get runs, particularly If you-have a
team that can hit.
Moriarty rightly feels that he has
such combination in the Tigers and
he intends to make the most of the
teams natural ability. rather than
cram the players heads with theory
on how to win ball games without
base bits, inside stuff.

HUGE D|R|c|bLE ID
 BURN MARSH GRASS
cARBURETTED HYDROGEN IS LIGHTER AND MORE EFFl-
 GENT THAN GAS

FREDERICHSHAFEN, G rmany, Nov. 24. P)-Construction secrets of the worlds largest and first gas-burn- ing dirigible, the L. z. 127, have been partially disclosed by Dr. Hugo Eek ener commander.
 The gas fuel is marsh gas or car buretted hydrogen with the chemical formula CHA. Much lighter and more efficient than gasoline or benzol, Dr.. Eckener said, the gas draws it's great est advantage from the fact that when it explodes in the engine cylinders one of the products is water vapor. The vapor, passing out through the exhausts of the five 42O-horsepower Maybach motors, will be condensed in tanks; part of it used to replenish wa ter in the cooling systems of the mo- tors and the rest stored as ballast.
 As ballast, the exhaust water will more than make up for the loss in weight the dirigible will suffer when fuel is consumed en route so that in- stead of letting out expensive hydro gen from the gas bag either before landing or when forced into high al- titudes, water can be discharged from the tanks. The use of carburetted hy- drogen will cut down by 35 per cent the initial useful load carried by the dirigible.
