ForwardPryde Performs Well. By FRANK BEAR. When John Stuckey, sophomore forward fresh Roosevelt junior high, caged nine points in the Decatur High- Ham basketball game here Friday himself in the class of "dangerous men'. And backed by a defense and an offense that were superior to the opponents, he and "Newt" Pryde chalked up more points than the entire Hammond team. the score was 13 for Decatur high.

The first half wasn't so near a Decatur story as the score would indicate but after trailing at one time and running close to tie counts. the Reds finally led 12 to 9 at time. BARNETT HELD. It was in the second half that the local boys began to show their real superiority and even Carl Barnett of Hammond. who scored three goals in the first half and two more in the third quarter.

Decatur broke loose Pryde scored three goals while: Stuckev was sinking two from the court and three of his four trials from the foul line. Burkit. Baird Also scored once each to make a total! of seventeen points for the Reds in the last half.

Secretaries stepped in a worried fashion in and out of his luxurious office, walled with ancient tapestries and floored with a carpet inches deep. The youthful financier heeded neither phones, secretaries, nor a "two-way market" that should have commanded every bit of his attention. Instead he lolled soft desk chair, or rose to stretch his feet of brawn and muscle as he paced up and down the carpet. And subject that lured this athletic scion of the "Biddles of Philadelphia" for -a game that has fascinated and lured to its fold the male Biddles hours from the manifold duties of a modern multi-millionaire was boxing from first "Nick" down. MICKEY WALKER HIS GOAL.

At the moment "Tony" -you'll find him listed as Anthony Joseph Drexel Biddle, in "Who's Who" -is the center of the latest fistic sensation. A few days ago he paid $20,000 for the managerial contract of Rene De Vos, crack Belgian challenger for the middleweight championship. Then Tony turned the battler over to Jimmy Bronson, chief second of Gene Tunney. He will advise and Jimmy will manage and between them they expect to land the blonde fox of Belgium in the throne now occupied by Mickey Walker. That is just a start, however.

The Biddle millions are at the disposal of Bronson in the quest of the next heavyweight champion. Tony will purchase any boxer in any division upon whom Bronson Furthermore places the stamp are of approval. they considering the erection of an ideal training camp on the outskirts of the city, to be run without profit and Bowling provide perfect quarters for boxers. trainers, managers or promoters willing to meet a nominal portion of the expenses. A "glorified boxing emporium," Tony calls it.

OWNER-SPARRING PARTNER. Although Rene probably doesn't know it and it isn't in the contract, the boxer has acquired a potential sparring partner in his new owner. Tony is a crack amateur heavyweight. He whipped the pugilistic barber for the amateur championship of Bulgaria in Gene Tuney's last training camp. Every day finds him in some gymnasium swapping leather with the best available, revelling in "the finest, cleanest sport in the world." If a family, like a people, can be said to have a "national a pair of crossed boxing gloves have some place in Biddle coat of arms.

Tony's father, Major Anthony J. Drexel Biddle, is still a crack boxer at and willing to match fists for sport with anyone. Tony perforce learned to box almost a as soon as he hold his hands up. BOXING STABLES FOR RACING STABLES. democratic and affable, Tony frankly is "crazy" about boxing.

He believes the entry of modern patrons of the sport to boxing "will add interest to our own lives and possibly strengthen the sport." With owners such as Biddle, there never would the possibility of pushing a youngster ahead too fast because of financial necessity. "It wouldn't surprise me," he said as the stock ticker clicked in the room and there was a flurry of excitement everywhere but in his chair, "if many others followed the same trail, boxing stables may replace racing stables.

Chicago, Dec. -Except in the case of the Army, the Big Ten hereafter will refuse to enter into athletic relations with any team which does not have a three-year, player rule. After a turbulent debate, during which protests were made against the Army which does have such a rule, the faculty advisory committee of the conference Friday night decided to enforce the rule with the one exception.

The action saved the Army from embarrassment as it was over the three-year rule that broke its athletic relations with the Navy. While the Navy has a rule identical with that of the Big Ten, it was included' in the exception. Two Army sports officials, Lieut. Colonel Roger Alexander of West Point and Col. W.

C. Sweeney of the Third Infantry, Fort Snelling, argued the case of the Army before the faculty committee, and were delighted with the decision, which, means the Army can carry out its' football game with the' University of Illinois next year. 1 NOTRE DAME O'K. The faculty, enforce committee, unequivocally however, agreed rule against colleges and although it is satisfied that Notre Dame, which also was protested andi which has games scheduled with three Big Ten football teams next. fall, lives up to the rule.

The rule states that no player is eligible to compete in Big Ten athletics or against Big Ten teams who has played more than three years of cold lege athletics. The faculty, action WAS the only. highlight of the first day's meeting of Big Ten athletic heads, most of the time being spent in arranging schedules for minor sports. Today, finishing touches were to be applied to football schedules, although but a few open a dates were left. Colgate now has two Big Ten football games scheduled for 1929- against Wisconsin at Madison, Oct.
