Decatur High school will open their season against Mt. Pulaski in Decatur Saturday night, while Millikin will not play until Tuesday, Dec. 13, when Charleston Normal comes to Millikin gym for a game. During the week past Wann has been sending his men through a stiff training schedule, although the size of the squad has not brought the brunt of practise too hard on any of the men. Scrimmages and floor work in generous helpings have been doled out to aspirants for the squad.

The cut In the squad is expected before the end of the week, although it may not be made until early next week. Four Good Forwards Wann has been experfmenting with different combinations during the past week, trying -out candidates in first one position and then another in an attempt to build up a squad which will bear up under the stiff playing schedule which faces Milll-kln's tossers this year. Curl, Hizer, Bowman and Miller still seem to be the best bets for a forward position, while Staley and Wallace are fighting it out for the pivot place. Captain Bailey ii certain of a guard position, while his running mate has not yet appeared out of the tangle of candidates for the guard position. Coach Muir will have at best an unknown quantity until after the opening game for, with two exceptions, the members of the squad are comparatively new to Decatur basketball fans.

He has some likely looking men who show up well in practise but who have not yet received their baptism of fire. He will have a green team but should have a strongly aggressive quintet capable of consistent playing.

Only One Open Date Meeis nam luck huci Wonderful Season NEW YORK, Dec. 4 Poor Rogers Hornsby! He sure has tough luck, does Rogers. Two years in succession Hornsby has been the batting king of the National league, which is considerable distinction. Two years ago he wound up leading the rest of the field that tagged in after Eddie Roush and for a time it looked as though he would beat Eddie out, but he Just failed. A.

400 Batter. Last year, with an average of .370, Cornsby copped the National 'league batting crown for the first time and St. Louis fans were mighty-proud of hlin, but pointed to George Sisler's .407 average with considerable pride, too. This year Hornsby went out to slug his way into the select "400" class, and for a good many week3 he bat tered the offerings of the pitchers for a .400 average. But the official aver ages of the senior league made public today by President John A.

Heyder, show that Rogers fell short Of his net ambition. He is king of the bat tors in his league for the second time but his average Is .397. just three point's shy of the mark he hoped to reach and pass. And that's why he is referred to as "Poor Rogers." However, Rogers may find some balm in the following facts: Hornsby's batting mark of .397 Is the highest average since 1890, when Edward Delehanty of Philadelphia, led the league with an average of .408. It is a net gain of 27 percent age points over nis mars ot while the St.

Louis club, which led in club batting with an average of .308, improved its mark of 1920 by 19 percentage points. Led Entire League Hornsby made the most hits, 235; led in two-bass hits, with 44, ana tied with Ray Powell, of Boston, for the most three-baggers, with eigh teen. Like last year. Hornsby again leads the long hitters, with 378 total bases, for an extra-base percentage of .639 Six playera made two hunared or more hits, as follows: Hornsby and Austin McHenry, of St. Louis, 235 and 201 hits respectively; Frank Firsch and Emil Meusel.

ot New York, 211 and 201 hits respectively; Carson Bigbee. of Pittsburgh, 204 hits, and James Johnston of Brook lyn. S03 hits. Not since 1899, when seven players made 200 hits, have so many National Leaguers reached this high mark. Century Run Club Bight players joined the "Century Run Club in 1921, as follows: ttons by led' with 131 runs; Frank Firsch and Dave Bancroft each scored 121; Raymond Powell, 114; George Burns, 111; James Johnston, 104, and Carson Bigbee, 100.

Rogers Hornsby hit for the most total bases in a game, eleven, making a three-bagger, and two home runs on June 7. Davis Robertson, of Pittsburgh, by batting in eight runs on August 19, equalled the National League runs batted in record, held jointly by Bransfield, of Pittsburgh, and Cra vath, of Philadelphia. The old Na tional League runs-batted-in record of eleven runs in one game was made in 1892 by Wilbert Robinson of Baltimore. And Hornsby's hitting helped the Cardinals to lead the league with the fine team average of .308. ENTERTAIN MATTOON HIGH SCHOOL ELEVEN MATTOON, Dec.

Staunchly Back "Hurry Up" Against Attack D.ec. 4. Staunch support of Fielding H. Yost, football coach at the University of Michigan for 20 years, is asserted in an en dorsement of the Michigan mentor passed by the club, an association of Wolverine letter men who voice the highest praise and condemn criticism of the famous "Hurry Up" coach, made by some alumni. Unfounded rumors, which reach the ears of a Michigan alumni association, were responsible for the con demnation of the organization, the club resolution said.

These rumors were investigated by the club, as a result of which, men said, they found that Coach Yost had worked faithfully for the best interests of the 1921 football squad. Criticism Unfair "The 1921 football squad was composed mostly of employed men, who are earning their education. Seventy per cent of the men asked to report for football work this fall are employed either part or full time," the resolution said. Of the 18 players who took part In the games, 13 are working. This is one of the obstacles which Coach Yost was forced to overcome.

"The criticism of Yost was unfair and coming at a time when it did, immediately before the Wisconsin game. It might have forced the team to play even a more ragged game than it did," the resolution said. Has Winning Record Michigan alumni point with pride to an indomitable spirit which en abled Yost's men to stop the fast Wisconsin team and later beat Illi nois which to some extent washed the Ohio mire off their rugged features Any team in the country has always been proud to beat Michigan, the alumni declare, and point to an ath letic record on the gridiron, track diamond, basketball and tennis courts which has a decided list to the winning side. The football figures against Ohio show IS games played, of which Michigan has won 13 and lost three. Two have been ties.

The illinl have been humbled six times to a pair of victories by the Urbana men; Chi cago lias come on top only six times to 11 for Michigan, Wisconsin twice to Michigan's five, Iowa once to two Michigan victories, Indiana nothing to four. Northwestern two to four and Purdue two to five. Michigan's grand percentage is better than 70. Two All-Americans There have been some great In dividual performers, too, produced on the Ferry field gridiron. Seven Yost men have been selected on All-Amer lean teams, almost nair or all chosen west of the Ohio river.

Heston Pchulz, Benbrook, Wells, Craig, Maul-betch and make up the list-Two Heston and Schulz are on the All Time All-America team. Michigan took up basketball later than most of the other conference teams, but has come to the front The tennis and soccer, too, the Maize and Blue have always proved strong contenders and the whole Michigan athletic record hae riven alumni such fervor that whenever a gathering in the great Ferry field stadium rises to sing the Yellow and the Blue, there is conviction in every heart that there is such a thing as Michigan might and that Michigan spirit should triumph.

HARVE, Dec 4 that settles it: I will sail tomorrow for home." Thus spoke Charles W. Morse early this morning when shown a dispatch printed in the morning newspapers under a Washington date line saying that Atty-Gen. Daugherty desired the shipbuilder to take passage on the first boat out of Harve.

Mr. Morse said he had received no reply to his request to the attorney-general for permission to remain in France until Jan. 6, either from Mr. Daugherty or through the American embasy in Paris. He added that he had requested police commissioner In chief i-abiani to call at the Continental hotel tomorrow morning at 9:30 o'clock and accompany him to the French line offices and book his passage as he desired to board the liner before luncheon and prior to the ar rival of the boat train at Havre from Pari AU A Pauls I should go back on that boat to morrow even if were maictea ior murder" said Mr.

He declared that he would decline to see anyone from now on.

In giving his reason for desiring to main tain privacy Mr. aiorse said to the correspaondent: Ask For Privacy "I was afraid my health would break down completely under the strain.

"I am unable to make any statement," said Mr.

Morse to the Associated Press In the course of a long conversation this evening "as I am not aware what charges have been made against me. Afl I want is to be left alone and be permitted to board the Paris tomorrow without any flashlight photographs being taken of me." French line officials say the Paris may nol be able to put to sea until high water at 11 o'clock tomorrow night. The nfan who accomplishes things has learned to labor while he waits.
