I the DOPE

By vEDDER RID

| this city has had since in,, the ne
years ago closes it's regular
schedule tonight. The Industrial
league which has been playing at
the Hoosier A. c. gym every
Wednesday night has been fine
? success.
Six teams compose the circuit
and have put out real basketball
for the fans who supported the
various clubs in fine style. Those
in the league, Y, M. C. A, Hoosier
A. c., Penn Il. r., Fairbanks
Morse, Diamond Chain and Real
Silk.
The first three are tied for the
lead at this time and a play-off
probably will be necessary. 1t
is planned to send the winner to
the national A. A. u. tourney at
Kansas City in March.
There is a. place in this city for
such an organization and the
success of this season makes the
future of the league look bright.
The fine support of the fans
has put the loop over in finan-
cial way as well as made the
competition interesting through
out the year.
Already the officials are talk
ing of twelve-club organization
next year. Nothing succeeds like
success, and now that the
venture has gone across the first
season, the future seems as
sured.
e. c. Knox Of the Penna r. r.
bunch is president Of the league.
He has had able assistance from
from II. E. Schnitzius, secretary,
and II. A. Holtzhauer, treasurer.
Everyone = connected with the
league is to be congratulated.
FIT DID happen Tuesday
night, as we said. North
- western defeated Wiscon-
sin, and the margin was ten points.
Any one who can dope the win
ner Of the Big Ten basketball race
is a wizard. We repeat for en-
phasis-any team can beat any
other team. There are no upsets
in that scramble. Anything can
be expected. Purdue should de-
feat Chicago tonight. We firmly
believe this, but then who knows
what will, happen?
Washington University of st.
Louis gave Oklahoma u. basket
ball team it's first defeat of the
season in the Missouri Valley con-
ference last week. Don White,
former Purdue star, coaches the
Mound City Club. Don's team has
won five and lost three. Oklahoma
has won eight of nine contests.
The local sectional of the State
high school basketball cham
pionship play looks more inter-
estipg each day. ShOrtridge
keeps looming up just when
everyone is inclined to erase that
club from the picture. The Blue
and White must be given an out
side chance to spill the beans.
Anyway the team will make
things plenty interesting for
Tech or Manual or any of the
others.
Those who seeded the draw in
the indoor tennis meet at New
York apparently pulled some
boners. According to the schedule
Tilden and Borotra will meet In
the quarter-final round and SO will
Richards and La Costa-that is if
they win their preceding matches.
Two of the best will be eliminated
before the semi-finals.

There must be something in
name. Claude Cash was elected
treasurer of the Acme Juniors,
q local independent baseball
team.
He may be a heather Chinee,
but he's some athlete! Football
fans remember the great game put
up at Irwin field last season by
Walter Achiu, the oriental with
Dayton University gridders. Well.
Mr.. Sneeze has been elected cap
tain of the Dayton track team.
He is sprinter. Butler will vouch
for that. The almond-eyed youth
also is a baseball player.

a game as basketball
