TOURNEY TIME DRAWING NEAR Twilight Hour Os The PreTournament Schedules Is At Hand By Maurice (’. Tull International News Correspondent Indianapolis, Ind. Feb. 23- The twilight hour of the pre-tournament schedules In Indiana High School Basketball Is at hand. In the eerie dusk of the waning season coaches of the leading teams are giving the final touches lo their little quintettes who soon must emerge under the glaring flood-lights of tournament play. As the shades of night fall on the twenty game limit permitted by the IHSAA, the final individual games lose their importance. The one uppermost thing in the mind of every coach Is to get his team in shape to stand the terrific drive toward the championship. This year over eight hundred teams will face the start without a single ‘'cutstanding" favorite, Many teams have impressive records, hut the bitter lesson of sudden and unexpected defeat has taught both players and fans that anything may happen and records mean nothing. Luck and Condition alone will tell: With a heavy emphasis on condition. The prognostication of the outcome is not only impossible—it is asinine. I To predict the champion out of 800 ■ potential winners requires the acceptance of an 800 to 1 chance of being I incorrect, which, as any child knows I are impossible odds. In former years early indications generally held true throughout the seaI son, but this year we have had ex-

ample after example of teams rolling up impressive victories until defeat seemed impossible only to be humbled ! by some little struggling outfit that

hud scarcely won a game before. The most ahhilng example of this: nltuatlon is the Kokomo-Marion Logansport Marion had n disaster ons season. The team appeared to be fated to lose every game on its schedule. it became a joke, the vlctein of "wist* cracking" columnists and the mockery of opposing schools. Suddenly rising in wrath this Marlon team smote the Kokomo teain of "wild cats" a mighty smite. The humble Kokomo team then took its turn at being the Joke. "The team that even Marion heat" was tossed into the teeth of the startled "wild cats". A short time later Kokomo met Logansport the mighty. Logansport was picked hy many as the one “sure bet" for championship honors. This time Logansport "bit the dust" and the handfuls of hair torn out by raving "dopesters" made four thousand six hundred and nineteen mattresses not counting the footstool covers. Just now the “wise" hoys are picking Martinsville, but these, same “wise” boys a few- weeks ago were just as strong for Muncie or Logansport or earlier in the season, Franjtfort. Martinsville does have an-impressive record, But it lost to this same Logansport who. lost to Kokomo who lost to Marion who lost to everybody else. Bainbridge and East Chicago and a few others have lost no games but they haven't played Marion or Koi-e---mo or Martinsville or Frankfort or Logansport. Personally the writer would not be surprised if Shortridge won the championship. Get that straight now.— A Shortridge victory is not expected, hut under the present circumstances Anything may happen and if there is anything that is more “anything" than an Indianapolis school getting through to the tournament, the writer needs another neck. That is a very involved sentence but so is the basketball sit. nation. , Therefore, to escape predicting and at the same time to give the “fans" some idea of how the state teams look to one who knows no more about it than these same “fans"—the following tabulation is herewith presented: The most capable team —Muncie. The best coached team — Logansport. The most Dangerous team Washington The Gamest team —-Stendal The most versatile team, Martinsville The strongest Tournament team —Frankfort The most Problematical team —-Columbus The "dark horse" team —Bainbridge The most inconsistant team —Bedford The most "unlucky” team—Valparaiso The most accurate team, East Chicago The most sensational team, —Stendal The fastest scoring team—Crawfordsville. The “luckiest" team — Kokomo The “handsomest” team—Shortridge The most consistant team —Morton The most surprising team—Marion. The best combination team 4-5 Anderson and 1-5 Spiceland. The winning team? It looks like an early spring, does'nt it?

l NEWS FROM THE j i TRAINING CAMPS | —(U.R)Fort Myers, Fla., Feb. 23.—(U.R)— Connie Mack expects to have Ty Cobb back" in the fold for the 1928 season. The Athletics’ manager has made Cobb what is described as a “large offer” and is awaiting Ty’s reaction. Sammy Hale, third baseman, is a holdout. Winter Haven, Fla., Feb 23.—(U.R) — Two workouts, one at It) a. tn., the other at 1:30 p. m., were ordered for the Phillies today by their new pilot. Burt Shotton. Seventeen players are on hand, including Big Bill Kelly, the 6-ft. 5 first baseman who hit 44 homers for the Newark International league club last season. St. Petersburg, Fla., Feb. 23.—(U.R) —Rogers Hornsby is the most enthusiastic member of the handfull of Boston Braves here for spring training. “The Rajah" has agreed to captain the Braves, after first insisting he would play in the ranks to avoid possible dissention. He will receive the same salary as when with the New York Giants, $40,000 for the season. Hot Springs. Ark., Feb. 23,—(U.R) — While the Giants are loathe to admit so officially, they are beginning to fear that Vic Aldridge, obtained in a trade with Pittsburgh for Burleigh Grimes, may be a hold-out. Aldridge has had sufficient time to return his 1928 contract, but has not done so. Emil St. Goddard Wins 1928 Dog Derby Quebec, Que., Feb. 23. —(U.R) —The 1928 dog derby today was history with Emil St. Goddard, and his team of huskies, the champion as a result of a driving finish through the wind and snow yesterday. In the three days racing St. Goddard drove his team over the 120 miles in 11 hours, 14 minutes and 37 seconds. The dogs were fairly well spent when they crossed the finish line last night, but all were still game. In second place this year was Leonard Seppalla, hero of the Alaskan anti-toxin run, who finished two minutes and forty-three seconds behind St. Goddard. The first day’s drive, in which St. Goddard gained a ten minutes lead, was greatly responsible for his victory. E. Brydges finished third and E. Chevrette fourth.

SOVIETS START SEVEN-HOUR DAY IN 35 PLANTS Employment Provided For 30,000 Additional Workers Through Plan Moscow. — (INS) —The great Soviet experiment with the seven-hour day has started. Thirty-five factories and mills, principally In the textile industry, ‘are operating on the new basis with apparent success, and moi > will follow as soon as production has been put on an efficient basis. In 22 cotton cloth, yard and knitted good factories the switch to the shorter working day has brought the three shift system into play so that instead of using the machinery 16 hours in 24 it will be in use 21. in the Moscow district where most of the mills are situated about 125.0(1(1 employees are affected. Increased Production About 30,000 additional workers have been taken on for the third shift. Production of cotton doth is expected to be increased by "5.000.000 yards, this year as a result. This will be due however to the added shift. Whether the production per man hour will be increased is a question, and with wages remaining the same as they were on an eight hour basis, it is doubtful whether the cost of production will be lowered. The latter is regarded of vital importance since the weakness of the Soviet industrialization program hits been that prices of manufactured goods are from two to five times those of neighboring capitalistic countries. Industry Rationalized The manifesto of the central executive committee last October announced that the seven-hour day would be put into effect gradually in those industries which were "rationalized" beginning with October 1, 1928. The plan is running seven months ahead of schedule. Virtually the entire oil industry with the exception of unskilled hands employed in it, is already on a sevenhour schedule. The planning commission has decreed that all new government factories opening this year must immediately start on the short day basis. Foreign concessions will be the next to follow. Public utility employes in Moscow and other large cities will firobably work one hour less each day beginning March 1. o . BLOOMINGTON —Coach Thom of the Indiana University wrestling team, won trout Yaqui Joe, of Sonora, Mexico, an Indian, by two straight falls.
