Indiana Faces
Tough Big Ten
Court Card

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Dec. 25.
The Indiana University basketball
team, defending co-champions of
the Big Ten, faces one of its stiff
fest assignments in hardwood his.
tory in it's attempt to retain the
title this year.
The difficulty comes not so
much from the caliber of players
available for the 1867 combina-
tion, but from the schedule as
signed the Hoosiers in Conference
play.
Seven letterman, all from the
first 10 last season, are available
as the nucleus of the 1936-37
squad. These candidates are led
by two outstanding stars, the CO.
captains of the team-Vernon
Huffman, all-Conference and all
American guard, and Kenneth
Cunning, forward, who finished
Just behind Bob Kessler Of Pur-
due and Bill Haarlow OF Chicago
in the conference individual scor-
ing race last season.
While Indiana is rated as a good
team this year, Coach Everett
Dean freely predicts it will have
it's work cut out to finish in the
first division. Coach Dean goes
on to say that the Big Ten cham
pion this year probably will have
a record of nine wins and three
losses, or eight wins and four
losses, in conference competition
an indication of the calibre OF
the strength of the league this
wear.

Buck ONeiLl
Says:

Cont. from First Sports Page)
younger Quigley acquitted him
self right well.
Pride in their profession is a
characteristic of the big league
umpires. There's Bill Klein. for
instance; the old war horse OF the
National League. Bill announced
wears ago to startled world that
he had never missed a decision in
his life. Bill was on the level In
that, too, but the probabilities are
that he meant he had never been
wrong at heart, regardless OF the
tricks his vision might have
played.
A Leading Example
There's Harry Geisel. veteran
umpire of the American League,
as a leading example of the devo-
ton of the umpire to his duty.
Old timers in the American
League still tell the tale of Geisel,
missing a train from st. Louis to
Chicago, chartered a taxicab and
rode all night to keep his assign
ment. More than that, Geisel
wound up driving the cab for the
last so miles and had to borrow
$65 from Dick Nallin to pay the
charges.
Geisel is known as one of the
best officials in the American
League. There is a story told OF
him when he was in the minor
leagues. A particularly belligerent
ball player started stepping on
Geisel's toes and melting the
crowd against the official. Geisel
finally grabbed a fungo bat and
chased the player right out of the
lot.
Bill MCGOWAN, of this city, rates
right at the top among officials
in the American League. Bill is
something of an autocrat on the
field, but he handles every stu
alton as it comes along, and,
what's more, Bill takes the great
est pride in calling every play
correctly.
Tells Quaint Stories
If you visit the umpires' dress
ing room after the games, Bill will
always tell you the plays he missed
or he'll explain a disputed play as
he saw it. MCGOWAN is a great
friend of baseball writer's, and ne
has many a quaint story that make
good columns for the Scribblers
on rainy days. But watch William,
for he loves his harmless practical
jokes.
It is too bad that the world-or
that part of the world which is in
tereSted in baseball-does not
know more about Red Ormsby.
Red was in the Fifth Marines and
fought through the bloody Cham
paign fight.
"After that experience, any.
thing the world has to offer is
easy" OrmSby once told the
writer. Baseball is particularly
easy, even when the boys crab
about nothing"

DOCTOR FIGHTS
DIVORCE SUIT

DR.. Norman Philip Scala, promi-
nent young local physician Of 918
South Carolina Ave. S. E., today
explained the charges of his bride,
Mrs. Helen Powers Scala. that he
deserted her at the Union Station
on their return from a European
honeymoon, divided their baggage,
sending hers and her to the Dodge
Hotel in a taxicab, while he went
to the home Of his parents in
Southeast Washington.
In a cross bill for limited divorce
combined with an answer filed
through Attorneys Alvin L. New
myer and Louis H. Shapiro, DR..
Scala says that the separation was
not desertion but was due to his
wife'S diSinclinationS to practice
economies necessary to his success
in his profession.
DR.. Scala informed the court
that he and his bride had an un-
derStanding before their marriage
to the effect that they would live
in a flat in Southeast and that
when his practice justified, they
would move into more pretentioUs
quarters elsewhere. Contrary to
the agreement, DR.. Scala says, his
wife insisted on an expensive
apartment at an uptown hotel.
Since Mrs. Scala is already en-
ployed in fairly lucrative Gov
ernment position, DR.. Scala asked
the court to disregard her deser-
ton charges and give him linn
tied divorce based on his wife's al
legged deSertion and disregard of
their agreement.

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 25.-Coach
Stub" Allison, of the California
Bears, ordered a long workout on
Grant Field behind closed gates
for this afternoon to put finishing
touches on the teams formations
for their clash here tomorrow with
the Yellow Jackets from Georgia
Tech.
Allison expressed uncertainty
about whether his ace passer, Vic
Bcttari, will be able to step with
the starting backfieldS. He is
planning to use 'rMushy' Pollock,
the mighty midget who has the
reputation of being the fastest
man in Pacific Coast football, if
Bottari is unable to start.
Otherwise the Bears are in top
shape. The California squad
arrived in Atlanta yesterday short
ly after noon, and within two
hours after their train pulled in
they were running through timber
ing-up exercises.
The Yellow Jackets worked out
yesterday morning, and were to
take their final drill this morning
before they turn their field over
to the Bears.
Indications are that the
Engineers regular backfield of
Konemann, Appleby, Sims and
Collins will go to the post, and the
line will include Chivington at
center, Nixon and Wilcox at
guards, Cushing and Lindsay at
tackles and Jones and Jordan at
ends.

Gay? At home, with your family?
What sort of people are they?"
She was trifie startled by the
abrupt change of subject, but led
on by the mans adroit, sympa-
thetic questioning, she soon found
herself telling what little there
was to be told. She spoke of her
father, an ambitious, Woodworking
lawyer in a small city in northern
Michigan. She told of his sudden
death; Of the gallant struggle of
the young widow, with her six
year-old daughter, to make a liv-
ing in an unfriendly world. She
had died when Gay was 10, and
Gay had gone to live with her only
relatives: Aunt Sophie and Uncle
Fred, in Traverse City.
