Always noted for the ot ball they have exhibited when in conflict with Freeport teams the Belvidere five this year are planning on getting revenge for the 45 to 25 defeat handed them here last season by the Ruppmcn. Boone county tossers had won twelve consecutive games last year When they bumped into the Orange and Black cagers and were rudely upset. Hence they have anything but a friendly feeling for Freeport, insofar as winning all games is concerned. Coach Rupp indicates that the squad have not been looking so "hot" in practice sessions this week.

There have a couple times during the past two weeks that the lads showed flashes of good form but considering their play as a Whole, the squad, even the old tim- has not shown what Rupp has been expecting. Of course, the regular season is not under way and will not be until Friday evening. However, the local coach feels that his Inds are in sort of a lethargy they must soon snap out of it 'if they are to emulate the Pretzel 'teams of other seasons. The players have not been passing the ball with any degree of accuracy or speed nor have they been finding the basket as often as they should in the early season work. All in all Rvipp has figured that it is going to take some long, hard drills before his gang will look anything like a real basketball quint.

Various Combinations Rupp has been trying out various combinations this week in an to get his men located but has not decided upon a definite lineup for.

Whitford will probably get a chance at forward during the game and Wedge also may be slipped to a scoring position. Opel, the elongated center candidate, may likewise get a try at the pivot job Friday night. There will be two games with the starting at 7-30 o'clock. The demand for season tickets has been brisk and those have not secured their season ducats should communicate with athletic manager, Cross at once. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBERS.

of Basketball Lid Here On Frida Dodd, Holm, M'Ever. Banker, South's Backfield 71V WTT.T.TATXr .7 BY WILLIAM BRAUCHER NBA Service Sports Writer You can get into almost any kind of a brawl down south about the relative merits of possible choices for lineman on the All-Southern conference team. But you can name one backfield, and still be con sidered a respectable member of society. That backfield consists of Bobby Dodd, the University of Tennessee quarterback; Billy Banker, the white-haired Tulane halfback; Tony Holm, the Crimson Tide's plunging fullback, and Gene, McEver, the Tennessee trampler. The writer has consulted coaches and sports writers in Atlanta, Knoxville, New Orleans, Memphis and other cities where the football tnlent thrives.

When you have to be wrong, it is well to be as slightly wrong as possible. These opinions have been carefully weighed In the final selections as shown above. Hug and "Catfish" Smith arc both fast, Hug being a 10-scconcl man. They travel at great speed in covering punts and both are fine pass receivers and dealy tacklers. They are good-sized men but handled themselves like lightweights.

It seems fitting here to mention work of several capable ends, vhose work throughout the season las been of a high order. They are Moore, Alabama; Jones, Georgia Tech; Holland, Schwartz, Vanderbilt; Baughman and Yates, Kentucky; Holt, North Carolina, and Peas, Maryland. The choices for the first team at the tackle position, Drury and! Sington men who weight more than 90 but who are very speedy for heir size. Each is a savage 'tack- er. Other linemen down south work was notable are; For- uer, Kentucky; J.

Johnston, Tennessee; Moorehead and Wilson, Steele and Keeves, Florda, and Bryant, Maddox and Lynn, Georgia. Farris of North Carolina is con- eded to be the best guard the outh has seen in several years. hat is saying a lot with such men is Brown of Vanderbilt.

between three great pivot men has been difficult. Roberts of Tulane, Bealle LET'S HAVE HEAVYWEIGHTS HOLM of ooum Carolina and Finney of Tennessee all have the faculty of opposition plays on the instant they arc started. Roberts has been outstanding in all of Tulane's victories. Boland of Georgia was nominated by several coaches as their first choice. The backfield will have to speak for So many coaches and writers were found in unison on the four men 'chosen that it is almost unanimous.

But other star backs have' been seen in the south, and among their number are and Cafthon, Florida; Dunlap, Georgia Tech; Parker and Leonard, Vanderbilt; Heydrlck, Tennessee; Suther, Alabama; Spicer. Kentucky- Hawkins, Virginia Military, and Waugh, Georgia. This has been a year of splendid halfbacks. There are 23 teams in the southern It is unfortunate that 241 men cannot be named!

BRAUCHER NBA Service Sports Writer How about the Battle of the Magnificent Mastodons? By this we mean the placing into the same ring simultaneously of those two Gargantuan Gents, Vie- torlo Campolo, the Big Horse of the Argentine, and the Powerful Panatela, Prlmo Camera. Providing there is a ring big enough to hold these two skyscrapers, it looks like an opportunity that P. T. Barnum never would have missed. Or Tex Rickard, either, for that matter.

There is just a chance that both of these blokes could be brought into the same neighborhood. Out of sheer curiosity, plenty of people would pay to see such dinosaurs wave their arms at one another.

This was not so good, so Victorio freighted himself back to the Argentine.

Now, however, Gus has been bought out as Campolo's treasurer in the deal by which Madison Square Garden recently gained control of the existing heavyweights. It is reported that Humbert Fugazy who yielded up to the Garden that Hurtful Hamburger, Max Schmeling and.others he had signed on the dotted line, will become Victorio's manager. And Campolo has agreed to appear in four bouts at the Garden. One of these four bouts might well be with the Panatela. This would be boxing in a big way, with a quarter ton of assorted beef in the arena.

There seems to be no objection from a financial standpoint, either. It appears they draw at the Garden according to their size, to judge by the recent pecuniary failure of the flyweights. At that rate, this should be several sellouts. Nobody around the Garden hates sellouts Leon See, who promoted the Klaus-Carpentier battle in Paris in 1912 for. the middleweight championship of the world, is Camera's manager.

Leon has been around the boxing business for a long time- too long to fail to see the possibill- with Campolo would have for his little filler. It is related that See found Carnera with a circus.
