BREAKS RECORD -■>’ ' A / ■ / te . JAKE SCHAEFER CHICAGO. —Jake Schaefer, son of Chicago uad sc<on of the famous vu<* 1 wizard, added fresh laurels to the family fame Thursday, Feb- 26. when in the seventh game of the International Balk-line Tournament at the Congress hob 1 be defeated Erich Hagenlacher, the champion of Gernany, 400 to 0. running the game out , from the spot for a world’s record. Never before in national or inter national matches has a player run out from the spot. Hagenlacher used his cue only once, when he banked, and lost. i 61-10-33 victory over Michigan last night. It was the second defeat Indiana handed Michigan this season. The half ended with Indiana leading 20 Io ir>. Afler the first three minutes, when Michigan was leading, the Hoosiers forged in the lead and maintained it. throughout the first half. Indiana ran wild in the last half with Logan and Krueger leading the rally. Krueger, with seven field goals and three foul goals, was high point man of the i game. Logan garnered sevon baskets and one foul goal. Captain Hag- ' gerty played best for Michigan, geti ting six field goals and three foul trys. , “ ■ , Field Goals By Mark M. Upp j Coach Kennedy nas eased up on the Yellow Jacket practice scssibns ■nd each evening this week sends his ourr.ament hopes to the showers d’ter an hour’s limbeung up exercise ■t running signals and shooting baskets. The players are in good condiion, outside of a few stiff joints and ore muscies. and will be in tip-top diapc by the time the play starts. Although Monmouth may not offer much resistance in the first game on their schedule, the Yellow Jackets will have tough sledding to win the other three games between them and the sectional title. Ossian has improved greatly since Decatur won from them should still be fresh after their game with Pleasant Mills. Although the Lancaster-Kirkland 1 game, providing those two teams win in the first round, will be a hardfought affair, it will be the only one on Saturday for either quintet before the final and the winner should have plenty of energy left for the title go. Shoot in’ 'Em says: ‘‘We picked Vincennes to win the Independent tournament. Morgantown took it in the final game“We picked Vincennes to win the junior tournament. Muncie took it. in the final game. / “We’re still picking Vincennes to win the State. “Will the third time be the charm?” The games between the Root and Washington township farmers at the high school gym here tonight ought to whet our appetites for the tourney battles. Remember the proceeds go toward helping buy a radio set for the inmates of the county infirmary. A Bluffton sport writer is making irrangements to come over here Saturday night to see Lancaster play n the final game.
