Dec. 3--lINS)--A golf match for the biggest side bet ever laid on the line in the history of the game was in the making today--if Babe Ruth thinks he can repeat recent victories scored over John Montague in informal, friendly piny between the two. Whether tho match will be staged ami size of the wager depend entirely on the erstwhile home-run slugger, who yesterday broke down under prodding nnd admitted he had taken the Paul Bunyan of the bunkers nt 18 holes on three occasions.

The challenge was hurled at Babe by Marty Forkins, handler of theatrical celebrities and Montague's advisor, who said "positively not" when asked If the Babe's reluctant admission of his triumphs nnd Forkins' sudden activity were part of build-tip leading to a prearranged rnntch, "To be honest about it. I haven't obtained Montague's OK on such (i match," Forkins said. "But know he'll go through and I'll back him if Ruth is willing. All I want is for Ruth or his friends to name their price. This will bo a.

By JIM BKAHOS I ALPARAISO'S Vikings will nish the opposition tonight when Coach John McShane's Washington Senators open their 1937-38 basketball season in Indiana Harbor, Second teams of both schools will open the year officially in the preliminary tilt that will start at about 7 o'clock. Shortage of experienced material makes the outlook for the coming season at Washington a big question mark. Two members of the tournament team last March are back but the rest of the squad will be composed principally of players on last season's second team. JKcmcmbur Last Year The situation was the same at the start of the last season, yet the Senators won i of their first 12 gumes and ended the year with a dozen victories. This tecord was comprised dm ing Conch McShane's first year as head basketball coach.

Coacn McShanc has had but one week to practice with the candidates who will make up his varsity five, only one of whom did not play football this year. Because Valparaiso has played two games already nnd won each, it will have a big edge over Washington tonight. Refusal to play conference tenms during the football season always permits the Vikings to get at least two weeks of practice completed before other teams begin. John Nagy, McShane's center last season, will be the only regular on the floor this evening. The Senator mentor plans to start Grady Smith and Nick Smoltz at forward, and John Csiscko and George Danclu at guard.

Smith was a member of the tournament team 'last season while Smoltz, Csiscko and Danciu were key men of the second five. Csiscko is the only player of this group who was not on the football squad, although Nagy and Smith dropped out late in the season to prepare for basketball. Coach McShane has cut his squad to 15 players but will depend mainly on Shailor Kolcff, Art Usitalo, John Liscbak and Eddie Larson for reserve strength. This quartet, also played second team basketball last year, Vulpo Han Veterans Valparaiso has a veteran five back this season which hopes to upset the conference, Coach Ralph Powell's teams have always been near the top in the league race each year but faces probably its first high hurdle in the Senators tonight. Washington's inexperienced team trimmed Valpo by four points early last season in the only game played between the two teams.

The Vikings lineup will probably include Henson, Sheets, Skinner, St. Clair and Rhoda. Nick Brunswick, Coach McShane's chief lieutenant i the football season, will again be in charge of Washington's reserve squad.

Ties DEFEAT FROEBEL 23-21 ON GARY WOOD Hammond Tech opened its basketball season in an aupicious manner laiit night, defeating Froebel of Gary, 23 to 21, before a small crowd in Gary Memorial auditorium. The contest was, marred by a near-riot in the closing seconds when two opposing players engaged in a bit of fisticuffs, which was the immediate signal for several scores of spectators to rush from their seats and take a hand the proceedings. Fortunately, Referee John Kee- kich and Umpire Walter Floyd with the assistance of some of the cooler heads were able to bring the feudists to their senses with little damage being done.

However, for a few brief moments players of both teams began squaring off it was suspected that a couple of the more rabid partisans tossed a punch in the melee. With Tech leading by two points and Froebel trying desperately to obtain possession of the ball, Vol- kovich, Froebel forward, who had turned in an exceptionally fine bit of floor work all evening, lunged at Andy Golarz, holding and roughing the Tech guard not a little. Golarz freed himself and the fireworks were touched off. In the scramble that followed it was near the east exit somebody picked up the basketball and carried it off. The victory put Tech in the conference win column and for the time being tied for the western division lead with Horace Mann of Gary.

Incidentally, It was Tech's first victory in any sport Mnce the school was admitted to the conference, While caging only four field goals to nine by Froebel, Coach Louis Birkett's quintet served notice on future opponents that it will not be the conference doormat on the hardwood. The Tech crew displayed a better than average defense, although the Blue Devils obtained 46 shots to the Hammond team's 34. Leading the scoring for the winners was Johnny Kucer, guard, who dumped in a field goal and seven charity tosses for nine points. Milt Stanford and Tony Argus each rung up four points. For Froebel, Babich was high scorer with four field goals and a free throw.

Volkovich trailed him with three field goals. The officials called 18 personal fouls on the Gary team, Volkovich Brown and Irving, each being assessed with four Thirteen were called against Tech, but none of the Hammond players accumulated four. However, Volkovich, who would have been automatically out of the contest, and Golarz were ejected by the officials following their display of fistic prowess The Tech team downed the Froebel seconds, 24 to 18, leading the Gary team throughout the contest. Bewley rnng up four fielders to lead the scoring, but it was Kramer, Tech freshman center, who caught the attention of the fans by his wide-awake floor play. The lineups: Tool!

Central Whips Michigan City Catholic Central opened the 193738 basketball season wifeli a 22-20 victory over St. Mary's of Michigan City. A bitterly contested game was won in the last few minutes of play, by the teamwork characteristic of the Central squads. High-point men were, for Central' Moser, with three goals to his credit, and Timm of St. Mary's with the same number.

Timm, the bulwark of the St Mary's squad, was later removed on personal fouls. This auspicious beginning shows well the versatility of Coach William Phillips, who guided the football squad to one of Central's best records, and who has even greater expectations for his carefully chosen regulars.
