Rotating Schedule Gives
Crimson Advantage Over
Big Ten Rivals.

The Michigan-Indiana game at
Bloomington Saturday night may go
a long way toward deciding the Big
ten basketball champion. Even
though it is figuring far in advance.
defeat for either may make a
whole lot of difference in the final
standings.
The rotating schedule plan gives
both the Crimson and Wolverines a
decided advantage over the rest of
the Conference teams. Indiana meets
Northwestern, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, Ohio State, Chicago and Michi.
gan, while the Wolverines meet
Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, Chicago,
Purdue and Indiana.
With probably the greatest team
in it's history, the Bloomington
school will pit its wares against
number of "Off and on" clubs.
Three victories already have been
chalIxed up with ease.
Michigan has yet to figure on
Iowa and Purdue. Coach Mathers
aggregation turned in a decisive,
1920. victory over the Hawkeyes
recently, but the Ann Arbor outfit
must look for Iowa to be plenty
dangerous when they meet again
March Z.
Purdue will have to be counted
upon as a dangerous opponent il
only because of Ward Lambert. The
crafty Boilermaker mentor always
has a crew that will cause trouble
in the hottest part of the Confer
ence season.
Starting line-ups Saturday prob
ably will consist of: Qndiana)-
Kruger and BeclSner, forwards;
Sibley, center; Cornell and Wins
ton, guards. (NFichigan)-Harri-
gan and OOsterbaan, forwards:
Mccoy, center; Chambers and
Petrie, guards.
Kruger and Beckner are two OF
the best forwards in the Big Ten and
will make any team hustle to keep
up with them, while Harrigan is
without doubt one of the best basket.

Changes Suggested Favor
Majors, Smith SayS-NeW
Optional Rule.

According to Vice President
Smith Of the Indianapolis baseball
club, the local A. A. team does not
look with favor on the new major
minor draft agreement adopted by
league committees in French Lick
Tuesday.
Representatives agreed on rules
governing the transfer Of players,
but Smith says the rules will not go
into effect until ratified by individ-
ual leagues. Smith is Of the opin-
ION the major leagues will get more
than they are entitled if all minor
organizations ratify the French Lick
pact.
Until 1884
Baseball men at the important
session drew up a long-term agree
ment, extending until Nov. u, 1884,
covering player exchanges.
The agreement, if ratified, auto
matically will remain in effect after
that time until either the major or
Mpor league representatives give
vice of a desire to terminate it.
The draft price for players from
AA clubs was set at $500, although
minor league representatives sought
to secure price of 100000. For
other clubs the price was set as fol
lows: Class A, $500; B, $500; c,
$4,000; D, $1,000.
Optional Players
The number of players the major
leagues may hold optionally while
giving them experience in the
minor leagues was increased from
eight to twelve, this being a COM
promise, for the major leagues had
sought to increase the number of
optional players to fifteen.
Players of the American Associa-
ton, the International League, the
Pacific Coast League and the Three
I League, who are not now subject
to the universal draft, will come
under the universal draft after Oc-
tober, 1923.
Former Draft Prices
Under the old draft agreement,
minor leagues received these prices:
Glass AA, $4,000; Glass A, $4,000;
Class b, $4,000; Glass C, 1900, and
Glass d, $1,000.
The pact also provides that majors
can send optional players only to
Class AA, A and b leagues, the ma
jors to pay double when optional
players are recalled.
mo player who has not been pre-
viously signed by major league clubs
shall be subject to selection from
Class AA clubs until close of follow
ing season.
The major leagues agreed to APP
annQve umpire reservation and selec-
h, proposal they have rejected
Heretofore.

We received a letter from Clifford
Wells this morning. Cliff, you know,
is the coach of the Logansport High
School team which lost to Frankfort
last weekend. Cliff says:
1--WE lost hectic game of stall to
Frankfort last Saturday night. Boys
were not i'm best of shape after being
snOwbOund couple of hours. Game
started at 1910 p. M. We plan to
be rarin' to go when they come here.
The defeat will relieve us of the
worry of losing and put more zip
into our play from now on"
Clifford is a wise fellow. He knew
very well that defeat had to come
some time and the sooner the better.
Cliff doesn't make any alibis. He
admits his team was outplayed when
they tried Frankfort's tricks. Each
team plays it's own brand of ball.
And Wells teams devote on driv-
ing, flashing offense. That game on
Feb. 10, out to be plenty hot.

that often slip by unnoticed has

subject. The subject of all-State

ton was will Indiana University
snag off the forward positions with
out a strugAe?" Beckner and
Kruger are without doubt two of
the best forwards in the State.
Certainly there will be warm COM
