I COLLEGE FIVES ARE STRONGER Says Clark in Comparing Students With Members of Independent Teams GIVES HIS REASONS 1 Some Teams Might Show-up College Men if the Rules Would Permit. (By Heze Clark, written for the United Press) Indianapolis. Dec. 22 —Now that the I basketball season is under full head--1 way there are two things evident to , the followers of the indoor sport. ! First is that the college teams are as ■ a rule stronger than the best of the I independents and professionals. SecI ond is that there are some high i school teams in Indiana that are so i fast and clever that they would give any Hoosier college a real game if the rules of the I. H. S. A. A. did not * forbid regular games between high schools and colleges. Not that the professional basketball players have not developed team work but these men playing for money rather than the sport and athletic exercise, do not have the fight and endurance to win close, hard fought games. This was shown last week by three games which were won by college teams in the final half. Butler came from behind and beat the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce by a score of 34 to 29. Franklin college after getting a bad start against Em-Roes, got busy in the last half and seated the one-time independent champions of the Hoosier state. Coach Pete Vaughn’s fighting "Little Giants” trailed at the short end of a 20 to 11 score at the close of the first half of the game with the Chamber of Commerce, but the final score was Wabash 35, Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, 28. Martinsville. Franklin. Anderson and Jefferson high of Lafayette, again have teams which will make strong bids for the state titular honors. Early games, however, show that some teams in some of the larger high schools of the state are extremely weak. The top heavy score of Anderson against Technical of Indianapolis is proof of this. Why the Indianapolis high school teams are so weak in basketball is a problem that sport critics are trying to solve. After all it is not necessary to look far. It is not the coaching systems at the high schools; but Jhe failure of the boys to get started playing basketball in the days when they are “kids" in grade school. In basketball, like baseball, to become a real champion it is necessary to start playing the game at an early age. In southern Indiana Columbus high looms up as a state champ. In the extreme southwestern section Central of Evansville again is strong. Vincennes is good this season. Rochester appears to be one of the strongest teams in northern Indiana. Interest in high school basketball is increasing and this season it is expected that approximately 600 high school teams will take part in the sectional tourneys. This is 100 more teams entered than last year. This means that, as far as number of teams is concerned, the tourney will be the biggest that has ever been held. • , NOTICE The Edwards and Porter Studios will be closed all day Christmas and the Monday foi- . lowing. 11 MR.

He was an amateur page in congress and was at John Quincy Adams side when he fell. Watterson began his newspaper career as a reporter on the Washington States. Then came the civil war. The fiery old warrior of the pen—then a youth in his 'teens —enlisted and served as an aide de camp to Generate Forrest and Polk. After the war he began “a traveling newspaper.” He edited the Chattanooga Rebel, a paper printed in a wagon. Later he went to Louisville, Ky., where he stayed for half a cen tury to make newspaper history. In 1868 he merged the Journal and the Democrat of W. H. Haldeman into “The Courier-Journal.” Then he took up the editorial banner to strike for a solidified north and south. With brilliant words that struck at the heart of every subject he mentioned, he drew the applause of the nation and his editorials were reprinted in journals throughout the country. Then the world came to know him as Old “Marse” Henry. Many famous journalists began their careers under Watterson. Among the most prominent are Isaac Marcosson i and Irvin Cobb. ' Os late years Watterson, on account , of advancing age, has not taken no i active part in the work of his paper as formerly. He was once in congress, having been elected in 1876 to fill an unexpir- ■ ed term. Serving from August. 1876 to March, 1877, Watterson declined to . stand for re-election. He was temporary chairman of the Democratic • national convention in 1876 and was a delegate in 1880, 1884 and 1888. Watterson, a life long democrat, broke with Woodraw Wilson, then President of the United States during the fight on the league of nations. He I actively opposed ratification of the league covenant and refused to support Wilson. His editorial attacks on , the league were among his final contributions to the journalism of his day, nd were among his most forceful writ’ : ings.
