Practically every team in the conference has been hard hit by graduation since Tast year, but new timber is said 'to be of exceptional calibre for strong quintets.

Practise from here on out will be strenuous in order to get his quintet into winning form. The close of foetball'. season brought put a number of new men aspiring for place on the squad. The squad contains a good nucleus of old men for this year's team. Carney, ho scortd more points than any other conference player in his first year of varsity basketoall the season of my-1920, will be a valuable offensive man for the lllini team.

Walquist is a very clever floor man. and has played varsity basketball th past two seasons. Veterans Guards Return Collin and fcjaoo are two veteran guards who played very consistent basketball last season. The list of old men furtlur includes Tabor, Hates and Gipson of last year's squad. (Jipson will undoubtedly be a strong contender, for the pivot position.

Hellstrom, forward, is at present unable to practise because of foot injury which has kept him out of football this fall, and he will probably not play this year. Many of last year's freshmen squad are out for practise and will undoubtedly put in strong bids for Places on the regular squad. Those who are showing' up well in practise are StillweU Roettger, Poplin, Potter, Robinson and Ryan. Drayer Hanson and who have been on the football are expocted to report for practise within the next few 'days.

mjlll pOR Aimili CONSTIPATION BEECHAM'S minutes and 26 seconds. It was a so called rolling fall which occurred when Lewis, in aplaning out of a hold, rolled on a shoulder. Lewis left the ring in protest, but was induced to return and the match continued. Lewis obtained the first fall with a flying headlock after 17 minutes and 31 seconds. The second, a so-called rolling fall, went to Zbyszko after 21 minutes and 26 seconds.

This fall was called when Lewis, in escaping from a half Nelson and crotch hold, permitted his shoulders to strike the mat. Lewis protested the referee's decision and left the ring, but was induced by members of the state athletic commission to continue. The champion won the third fall and match with a double arm lock in 14 minutes and 56 seconds. The referee's decision in giving Zbyszko the fall was loudly jeered by a large body of spectators. Tonight's victory was the 910th for the champion in his 23 years of professional competition.

He was defeated only once, the late Frank Gotch vanquishing him in a match that lasted but six seconds. HAMMOND WINS BASKET TOURNEY MONTICELLO, Nov. 28.

KOX-BCRSTIXG I SAYS DIRECTOR French Net Official As serts Attacks Against U. S. Public Unfair By Associated Press.) PARIS, Nov. 28. Capt.

Albert R. DeJoannis, who accompanied Mile. Suzanne Lenglen, the French tennis player to the United States last summer, has tendered his resignation as vice-president of the French Tennis Federation and also as a member of the organization. M. DeJoannis resigned in protest against the federation's "order of the day." published in the morning newspapers today, blaming the directors of the "United States Tennis Federation for unjustified commentaries upon the sporting spirit of Mile.

Lenglen." The resignation of M. DeJoannis is the climax of a controversy that has been going on inside the tennis federation since the return to France from the United States of Mile. Lenglen and her party. M. DeJoannis was accused of having urged the French player "to engage in tennis matches while physically unfit to do so." Was Physically Unfit "Mile.

Lenglen" said M. DeJoannis today, "was perfectly fit when she met Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallorw at Forest Hills. Mile. Lenglen was defeated by a player who on that date showed a better brand of tennis.

shook hands with Mile. Lenglen before she entered the court Her hand was cool and her pulse normal. She was confident. She only commenced coughing after having lost the games. Attacks Unwarranted "Suzanne's attacks against the United States Lawn Tennis officials and the public are absolutely unwarranted.

She knows how to win, but she does not know how to lose gracefully. She placed the personality of Suzanne before the good name of the sporting world of her country and could not face defeat. "The attitude of the United States Lawn Tennis officials and the American public in the face of the repeated defaults of Mile. Lenglen was very lenient and above all blame. Carpen-tier is a hero in America despite his defeat, because he showed grit and went down fighting, while Mile.

Lenglen placed France before the American public as perferring to quit than to face defeat. France never quits." M.

The formal close of the 1921 football season in the South finds four teams undefeat ed by a Dixie rival and in position to ciaim the title of champions. Two of the eleven, Center and Vanderbilt have swept all opponents aside, but the other two University of Georgia and Georgia Tech were defeated in intersectional contests.

The University of Georgia went oown 10 to 7 before Harvard, which Centre later defeated 8 to 0 and Georgia Tech fell under the attack of Pciin State, which piled up a 28- tc-7 Vanderbllt's only inter sectional contest was with the Uni versity of Texas, which the Commo dores won with ease. Georgia's game with Dartmouth and the contest between North Carolina and Florida universities In Jacksonville Dec. 3, will have no bearing on titular claims. The final ranking of Pixie teams for years a matter largely of personal opinion, will be made easier next season, for the Southern Inter' collegiate Athletic association, in which most of the large schools will have membership, comes into being with the new year, and its champion will have an almost unchallenged claim to first honors throughout the southeast. PANTHERS LOSE TWO GRID STARS PITTSBURG.

Nov. 28. Two of the leading players on the University of Pittsburg football team, and four other varsity men played their last came with the Panthers on Thanks giving day, when Pitt held Penn state to a scoreless tie. They have appeared for three successive seasons. the time limit at Pitt.

Other players who wW be graduated with Stein and Davies are: Leon Kelly, tackle; Fred Ewing. end; Harvey Hartman, tackle, and Peters, guard. BLUNTS(0 Retains all the Flavor 1 Tilts would like to get on Yale's schedule and there is not the shadow of a doubt but that such a game would prove a knockout from a standpoint of public interest and attendance.

Yale has scheduled the Army for 1922, the game -to be played in the bowl. Oct. 28. There is plenty of room on the Bulldog schedule for a team like Notre Dame, however, and Yale might find it to her benefit to schedule stronger teams than she has played during the last three seasons prier to her big three engagements. Harvard will play Centre college again next year.

Centre's defeat of the Crimson insured the "Praying Colonels" a place on the 1922 schedule. The Crimson will probably schedule another game with some western conference eleven. Georgia Tech and Penn State will very likely be seen on the Polo grounds next season. This game is being talked but nothing definite will be done, probably, until after the Nittany Lions return from Seattle where they meet Washington university next Saturday.

A statement given out today by Charles A. Ferry, Y'ale '71 designer of the bowl states that the plan provides for a balcony over the up per section of the seats and the prcmenade. The balcony would consist of a series of concrete arches supported by reinforced concrete columns erected around the outer edge of the promenade. The arches would support a concrete deck, built in steps on which would be placed benches as in the bowl. This addition would provide about 49,000 more scats and make a covered stand of the upper part of the bowl.

Eli On Every Dealer's Case (By International News Service) NEW 'YORK, Nov. 28 Intersectional games were bright features of the 1921 football season. The "sport loving public supported these games in a manner that left no doubt as to their critics are agreed today that the bringing together of teams from widely scattered sections has done much for the game. Nearly a dozen contests of this char acter that drew unexpected attendance were played in the East and the business managers of eastern elevens are already planning next year's scedule with some intersectional contests in view. The establishment of home-and-home relations between Princeton and Chicago was a wise move for both schools and it may lead to other intersectional agreements.

Notre Dame will come east again next year to play the Army as usual but Coach Rockne's eleven probably will be seen in action against another big eastern team. TheSouth Benders MICHIGAN FACES HARD SCHEDULE Prospects For Champion ship Wolverine Quintet Not Bright. (By Associated Press.) -ANN ARBOR, Nov. 28. Prospects for a chamiponship basketball team at the University of Michigan are not the brightest this year, due to loss of at least two of the best players from last year's squad, according to E.

J. Mather, coach of the squad. Captain Joe Karpus, forward, and Jack Williams, a guard, two of the stars of last year's five, graduated last spring. "Duke" Dunne, captain of the football team and center of the basketball aggregation for the last two years, does not intend to be a candidate again this year because of the pressure of his university work. Preliminary practice is under way and 45 men already have responded.

trom the squad Mather hopes tqJ luuuu oui a warn mat win mane a creditable showing in "Big Ten" circles. Leading the field of candidates this year are Captain Bud Rea, running guard of last year's combination and whose long shots from the center of the floor upset seevral conference teams; Miller, one of the best forwards of the Big Ten; Whitlock, substitute forward last year: LeGalley, guard, and Reason, center. From the freshman squad come a number of good men. It Is probable that Ely, former star on the Hills dale. college five and MacWood will be strong rivals for Dunne's place.

Several men on the football squad are looked upon with favor. Cappon and Kipke are among the number. Paper, who has abandoned football for the year, is another who is to be given a thorough drill; Uteritz and Roby, backfield men, are to receive a trial. Michigan has a difficult schedule this year, meeting Ohio State. Indiana, Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin in two games each and Chicago and Northwestern once.

Development of a strong five here, is made more dif ficult because of two weeks' examination period in the middle of the season, places hard games on each side of the tests. In addition to the conference tilts, Michigan will meet a number of smaller college fives. ARTHUR TO HAVE STRONG QUINTET ARTHUR. Nov. 28.

Arthur township high school will be represented by one of the strongest basketball teams that has ever been produced at the local institution this season. All of the members of last year's squad have reported for practice and Coach Cook is hard at work to round the team into shape for the first game on December 9. Several new candidates have joined the squad and are giving the veterans a run for their places. in dications point to a successful sea Sullivan will be the first op ponent of the local team and will have the advantage of three weeks' practice.
