BACKBOARD

By J. E. O'BRIEN

YOU MAY BE sure that chunky Mr. Harold Olsen, keeper of the basketball Buckeyes and tournament chairman: of the National Collegiate Athletic. Association, is happy to have given Indianapolis the association’ s eastern elimina-

tions.

Those were almost Mr. Olsen’s exact words as he attempted to keep fire in an abbreviated cigar yesterday while

talking to tournament director Tony Hinkle and a segment of

Mr. Hinkle’s committee.

“I've always thought Indianapolis 7as the logical site for this tournament,” he explained, “but you folk always - were running your high school” tournament the week we wanted to come in.. “I had my eye on Madison Square Garden for a while this year, but " when Tony informed me that high school games had been postponed a week, right away I knew we had the place for our tournament.” That meeting probably was the last Hinkle and Olsen were to have before the tournament on March 22 and 23, so Tony had a lot of questions he wanted answered. And if you don’t think there is plenty to ask in running a tournament, just try to help run one sometime. You have to think of officials, quarters for the teams, the number of basketballs te have on hand and a hundred other details. We thought for a while a decision would have to be reached on the quantity of silver necessary in the umpire’s whistle. Mr. Olsen’s other business here was to select the trophies and medals for the tournament winners. After that he was to hop a train to Chicago, leaving the tournament entirely in the hands of Mr. Hinkle —and his committee. Indiana University definitely is in the tourney and now comes an entry from Western State Teachers’ College of Bowling Green, Ky. Coached by Ed Diddle, the Western Hilltoppers won ‘their ninth consecutive Kentucky intercollegiate title this season and their fourth straight Southern Intercollegiate A. A. championship.

Jumping the Gun

The phone rang early last night in the sports department. “What was the score of the Short-ridge-Pittsboro game,” a youthful voice asked. “When was that played?” (We have to have our fun, you know.) There was a short pause followed by sheepish laughter. “You're right,” he admitted. “They play tomorrow.

FEAR KENTUCKY LIQUOR SETUP

State Officials Protest New Law; Townsend Asks It Be Vetoed.

State officials today were protesting a new, law passed by the Kentucky Legislature which would permit liquor to flow into Indiana from that state without control. The bill, which has not yet been signed by Governor Keene Johnson of Kentucky, would create a new class of liquor exporters. They would be permitted to sell liquors manufactured iff Kentucky to anyone within a radius of 10 miles of the Kentucky borders who hold a Federal liquor license. Governor M. Clifford Townsend has sent a telegram to Governor Johnson urging him to veto the bill, His telegram Stated that “Enactment of this bill will require Indiana to maintain sentries at all bridge and ferry crossings at the inconvenience of citizens or both states.” Alcoholic Beverage Commission officials said the Kentucky bill, if it becomes law, would permit liquor from Kentucky to be converted into bootleg channels in Indiana. Under present Kentucky liquor regulations, distillers sell only to licensed liquor wholesalers in Indiana who act as collecting agents for the Indiana liquor tax. If Kentucky permits its exporters to ship liquor to persons holding only a Federal license, Indiana: will lose
