city football victory denoting the

1t must have been hard for the

the progress of the game, to look
at their charts Friday night and
note how much of the time play was

Shortridge touchdowns were made.

Northwestern and Purdue.
Their recent meeting marked the
eighteenth time they have come to-

Up until last season they had split

All through the first quarter
Friday, Tech had the edge. Part
of the second period seemed the
same. and things looked so gloomy
for Shortridge that even Coach
Goldsberry was on his feet as Massey
caught a Shortridge kick at midfield
and ran it back 20 yards. Things
got warm on the Blue bench when
the Green backs, Massey, Adams

the Blue wall carrying the ball to

City Bowling
Gossip

One of the most interesting sin.
giles Journeys ever announced for
the bowlers of Indianapolis will be
Sprung" in a few days, and no
doubt there will be a rush to fill the
entry list as soon as definite plans
have been worked out. Several of
the greatest boosters Of the tenpin
game are behind this project, and
we feel sure this venture will be the
biggest and best event ever placed
before the bowlers of this city.
Watch this column for further de-
tails.
The city league games Friday
night, rolled on the Elks Club al.
leys, produced some great scoring.
The MarOtt Shoe Shop team, led
by Charlie Cray's great series of
684. secured OH games of PIG, 234
and 234, had a total of 1897.
Frank Fox and Weisman of this
club also were far over 600, Fox
having 642 and Weisman go.
Against this kind of shooting the
C. G.. M. team was forced to take
three-game drubbing. The Silver
Flash team also carried away three
games in this loop, the Hoosier A.
c.. being their victims.
Hoosier Coffee and Ballard Ice
Cream had to be content with two
out of three from the H. G. S. Paint
squad and Indianap teams. Five
games were better than 1000, the
1875 of the II. G. S. Paint topping
Marotts by two pins for high.
Other 600 shooters were: Nordholt,
623; Spots, $40, and Hurt, 61S. Thir-
ty-five games of better than 200
were rolled, the 267 of SPOTS being
the high effort. Cray and Weisman
of the Marott team have been two
of the most consistent bowlers in
the city this year. When they are
under 600 they are having an off
night and an off-night is rare thing
with them.
Today is your last chance to
enter the city tourney. You can
still get your entry in and be a
booster for the ten-pin game and
your city. Enter tonight and
help swell the total to new city
record.
In the Indianapolis Ladies League
games rolled on the Capitol Alleys,
the A. c. Bradley team continued its
march pennant-ward by taking the
entire set from the Vollrath Apart
ment team. The Silver Flash,
Folks Milk and Shank Storage
teams also We're three-gameNwinners
over the Capitol Furniture, J. j. C.s
and National Malleable teams. The
Lucky Strikes, after winning the
first two. dropped the last game by
margin of~four pins to the Baker
Bros. team. Johns of the Silver
Flash team was the most consistent
performer, having games Of 40, 179
and 1888 for a total of 5S7, which
was high.
Tn the Wheeler-Shebeler League
the Larks downed the Flickers
three times while the Hawks
proved TO be "Vultures" to the
Wrens and won their series in
straight sets. The Cardinals and
Canaries were more friendly, the
Cards winning the odd game.
Strack of the Wrens was high in
both single game and three-game
total, having 100, 148 and 2O2 for
$40 pins.
The Rainbow League games were
decided in two out of three fashion.
The Dog Robbers and Drivers
downed the Cannoneers and Kitchen
Police. Connoff had a nice start on
games of 211 and 204, but dropped
to 125 in his third effort. However,
his $40 was high three-game total
and his 211 was good enough to car
ry away single game honors.

Miller of Tech has been a lead.
ing player this season. Some of the
best2 back field men in the State
have encountered difficulty in skirt
ing his wing consistently. He is a
bear at snagging passes. He is the
choice on one wing for the first all
city team, but on the other we en-
counter an argument.
Some fans might think that on
the basis of the two city series
games played. Ennis is as good as
Stillwell. We differ on the consistent
all-season basis, and say the real
comparison is between Mueller of
Cathedral and Stillwell. The big Blue
warrior has the more experience and
is chosen. Demmary, a fine player,
has not been in the game all year
on account of injuries.
At Tackle Positions
Next we encounter the tackles
Jeffries is a leading choice. Harlan
of Manual. has been one of the two
good men at the south side school
all year. Apparently injured and out
for the season several times, he al
ways came back the next weekend.
He stood as a luminary in the defeat
by Shortridge.
Allison of Boys Prep, had he pos.
sessed just a bit more drive, might
have rated better. Thompson Of
Tech, was one of the mainstays of
the Tech line all year. Shortridge,
even with it's big full back, Hill. had
tough time getting through the
Tech line consistently. Most of the
credit we give to Trimble, a guard
on the Green and White. Game, of
Cathedral is a similar type player.
with Coshow of Shortridge and
Beikes of Cathedral close contenders.
At center, it was a narrow opin-
ion between Kelsey Of Shortridge and
Connolly of Cathedral. 1t would have
pleased the writer to have seen those
two men meet. Kelsey. in spite of
his lack Of weight, has been thorn
in the open style of all opponents. In
the Tech game he snagged pass
and converted it into a touchdown
after a fast run to the line. He is
all-city center.
Other Centers
Connolly has played a great de-
fensive game for the Irish. and
Bauermeister of Tech has possibili.
ties of future greatness.
Peacock is an outstanding quarter
back. This contention should re-
ceive little or no criticism. In some
circles it might be contended that
Kruger of Tech, Miller of Cathedral
and Calendar of Boys Prep are a
toss-up trio. Kruger, to the writer,
seems a shade best.
Nothing could be sweeter to any
coach than back field quartet COM
posed of Peacock, Massey Of Tech,
Hunt of Manual and Hill of Short
ridge. We might say Of Massey that
he was a mighty clever little man in
all the Tech games. OF Hunt, we
say, he was the other of the out
standing Manual players, with Har-
Ian and stood out prominently win
or lose. OF Hill we say, he is the
best Shortridge has had in many
years, and to say he is better than
Egan of Cathedral alone means that
he is plenty good. He unquestion-
ably was the leading man on the
Blue and White team.
Dugan is a clever runner and Pink
us Of Boys Prep has found it posi-
BILE to rip through some OF the
teams best opponents, including
Shortridge. The honorable men,
ton" list has boys named who we
might say lack something in some
one department of the game, or have
been off color in part of the games.

Heavy commitments on other properties, combined with oth- CT deterrent factors are given by the Premier officials as the basis of a late decision by the company which will pre- clude either the taking over or operation of the Indian.
 The announcement that the deal had fallen through came as a great surprise, as it was generally believed that Pre- mier had secured a strong hold on the property and would ultimately come into full con- trol as a result of the recent negotiations.
 As a result of the announce ment that the deal is off, h. dian stock is showing a dis position to drop to lower lev els. Present negotiations are around 2 cents, against 8 to 10

Concluding a period of more than two weeks duration, it be- came known last week that two we'll known Stewart people, Mrs. Nellie Murray and MT. J. P. Hawkinson, had been quietly united in marriage on May first. The wedding oc- cured in Hyder, the nuptial knot being tied by U. s. Com missioner Sandford.
