Long Trip.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal,
Dec. 23.-The West Point military
academy football team held its first
workout in the Stanford stadium
today in preparation for its game
with Stanford next Saturday.
The Army squad, numbering more
than one hundred, including the
varsity, plebes, coaches, trainers,
cooks and others, arrived here Sun
day night after a strenuous journey,
and lost no time in seeking beds.
The thirteen-car special train was
many hours overdue, because Of
storms.
Students and several hundred
citizens greeted the Army players
at Palo Alto station and escorted
them to the campus.
Chris eagle, captain and back
field star of the West Pointers, was
the center of interest as the team
held its first practice. Coach Bjf
Jones was not expected to hold
heavy practices Or scrimmages for
a day or two. to allow his men to
get rid of train stiffness.

utes before it did much damage.
Rival back guards shared honors
during the evening, Tackett, Hin
kle'S new goal defender, who built
up quite a reputation while pastin-
ing for Glenn Curtiss at Martins
vile, made good everything that has
been said of him by holding Stretch
Murphy, Purdue's all-America cen
ter, scoreless from the field. This
is just one goal better than Bugg
did last year, when the Bulldogs
won, % to 81.
Kid Boots, Boilermaker back
guard, starred for the losers. He
covered the entire court on defense
in addition to leading his mates in
scoring with five field goals. Most
of his attempts were from mid-court.
Hosier, Bulldog floor guard, also
Was much in evidence. His assign
ment for the evening was to stop
Harmeson, one Of the best forwards
in the Western Conference. He did
this in addition to scoring seven
POIl1CS.
Purdue played without the services
Of Johnny Wooden, hashy sopho-
more floor guard, who was injured
in an accident Saturday at Lafay-
cite and did not make the trip.
Christopher, Allen and Hide
brand were important cogs in the
Butler offense, and successfully ex-
ecuted some of the cleverest and
fastest plays seen on the local hard
wood. Hinchman, the only Bull
dog substitute used, turned in
creditable performance.
Trailing SO to II, the Boilermak
ers cut loose in the last SIX minutes
to score twelve points. This rally
took place following the removal Of
Captain Hildebrand Of Butler on
fouls.

AS for Joe Clutch, L. S. M says the

next epistle.
Dear Backboard-The boys have been

remarks about shortridge and Manual

a ball game the yelps will become more
fluent. Ole Joe didn't say one-tenth of
the things I'd like to say.
few years ago some one made up
list OF nicknames for basketball teams
and shortridge got all hot and bothered
because the boys were called the most

That's one part of the trouble. Give
me guy with plain, fiat pan, but who
can handle a basketball without worry
ing about the girls in the bleachers, rather
than a fellow with a Grecian nose and
pornpadour hair, who worries continually
about the girl in the red hat, aisle six,

Versatile SouthernerS Add
Franklin and Horace
Mann to List.

Washington HatchetS today occu-
pied the top perch Of Indiana high
school basketball. After approx
imately four weeks OF Scrambhng, in
which upsetS have been numerous,
the husky Gold and Black quintet,
coached by Burl Friddle, former
Franklin star, stood out as the only
major undefeated team.
The Hatchets hacked out their
eighth and ninth consecutive victo-
ries over the weekend under most
trying circumstances. Two top
notch outfits and snowdrifts failed
to halt the victory march of the
Southerners.
Franklin, conquerorS Of Martins
Willie, fell by an impressive 34-15
margin Friday, After a 200-mile
trip through snow covered central
and northern Indiana, the Hatchets
arrived in Gary Saturday night
and humbled Horace Mann, 26 to Is.
Great Team Work
An air tight five-man defense and
an ofTense in which every man plays
an important role has carried the
Hatchets to the pinnacle. DeJernet.
husky Negro center, is the key man
Of the offense and the backbone Of
the defense, while 'Englehart is the
"dead-eye" shot of the outfit. These
two rank among the cleverest court
men on state prep hardwoods.
HeaYenridge, a cool, heady player:
Gilmore, a speedy guard with bas-
ket eye, and McCracken, a back
guard of merit, are other stellar per-
formers on the team.
An unusual feature of the Hat
chefs play is the versatility of the
team. At any stage of the game,
De Jernet or one Of the forwards
may be playing at backyard. They
change their style of attack with
ease and rapidity,

A pack of strong quintets are
close on the heels of the Friddle-
