He tells this one: Several years ago, Coats, with his father, William Coats, cut down a maple tree in Randolph county. In a hollowed space In the two-foot trunk a live toad was found and it hopped away when the trunk was split. Coats estimated from the size of the tree, that the toad had been imprisoned there for at least 50 years, or possibly a hundred. —, — o American League Results Philadelphia 40; Fort Wayne 31. 1

Last year, we remember that Decatur won their sectional while Bluffton went down before Lancaster and Rockcreek then won from Lancaster.

Well done Hartford — well planned plays have won many a game, just as it must have done for the ‘Gorillas.’ ‘When talking to the Hartford players, they left us under the impression that much credit was due the supporters of the Hartford crew. It was afterward learned that the largest delegation ever to follow any Hartford team was in attendance at Decatur, March 3, 1928. And a large crowd? "We became very much interested and wondered why Hartford should make such it sudden break and show such enthusiasm. Here is our find: “Monday, Feb. 27, 1928, several of the young men who are members of the Hartford alumni, thought it a good plan to organize a yelling team. The news spread and some twenty or thirty faithful followers were in attendance. Their lungs were in perfect condition and their spirits were very much electrified. Two yell leaders were chosen, the

■state high school basketball team li-| ; mited to those combinations who are | fortunate enough to leach the India ! napolis finals of the state tourney, is t not a logical nor scientific manner in whi<h to pick members cf these mythical honor selections, an effort lias been made to get the cross section of opinion as to the outstanding seasonal players from all schools in Indiana. Players who are outstanding and deserving of recognition often times arc on teams which are eliminated in sectional or regional play. The mere fact that they did not get to the finals’at Indiana pells is no reason why by their superior playing during the twenty game season they should not be given places cn the state teams. Nor is it presumed that any cue person, sport scribe or coach is able to pit his judgment against any other person in the selection of the members of these mythical teams, because of j an inability to see them all perform ' during the season. To get a cross section of opinion however inquiries were sent to 154, sport writers, basketball officials, and basketball coaches in the state asking their opinion cf the selections tor such an all-state team. Based on seasonal performance, and picked from every team in the state, I answers came back from 68 of the 154 I inquiries sent cut. These answers were , taken as votes for choice on state teams. A total of 173 players were thus nominated, and from this number 33 ! have been selected on the first, second ! and third all-state teams. Eleven men ate place don each team, four forwards two centers, three floor guards, and two back guards. Twenty cne schools are represented by the 33 boys on the first three teams, instead of merely a possible 16 teams from those who reach the finals at Indianapolis. Wooden of Martinsville received the most votes for forward position. He is a driving forward, plays hard, falls easily and probably gets mote foul

"It seems to be an established fact that farmers living within a radius of 2 miles from Linn Grove arose from their beds, called the Linn Grove central and asked if the town was on fire or whether there was some kind of an insurrection in the town. At i least they wanted to know the reason for such noise. They were told —and the spirit spread until small-pox was no equal. “Did Hartford win? "I wonder why?"—-Contributed. The receipts at the Bluffton sec, tional tourney totaled $2,434.40, of whidli $2,217 was from season tickets. I Bluffton, as center school, received a 1 total of $718.57.

■ shots than any player in Indiana, be-1 I cause of his ability to lie awarded I blocking penalties as against charging fouls. He is a hard man to slop, for any guard. Wcoden is a senior and is slated to join his brother a: Wisconsin next year. Secrist of Muncie is in a class by himself as a center. Tall and rangy he is a regular acrobat in play. Gets up in the air, keen on short under the bas- ! ket shots and comes out from behind 1 the basket or tips in a short loop by a team-mate. He is a senior. Lockhart of Martinsville is a four year man for Coach Curtis. He has been mentioned for state teams in the | past, and lias played back guard, floor ■ guard and forward and is good at any position His specialty is long range : and •intermediate basket shots. He's a senior. To choose outstanding men was not easy. Wooden was clearly the best forward in the state. Secrist of Muncie was the best center. Floor guards however were on a parity and the first 6 on the two teams showed very little difference. As for backguards tiiere were no outstanding backguards in Indiana this year. The best teams this year are considerable less powerful than in years gone by, with more teams of a parity this year than before. Ten or twelve stand out as possible state caliber power. There ate some dark horse possibilities also, chief of which is an East Chicago team, and the Bainbridge team down in Putnam county. East Chicago has played only teams of mediocre strength in the north, and Brainbridge has not lost a game but has played only several of the stronger outfits in central Indiana,! including defeats by wide scores over Brazil and Jeff of Lafayette. They are a rangy aggriga tion, and may prove another Wingate, but must defeat Greencastle in a sectional and Crawfordsville in its regional.

He sold the garment. There were several owners, each getting t id of the overalls through fear of getting into rouble, as they were informed of the check. The last owner weighted the overalls and threw them into White»river. o — Will Handers of Columbus, Miss,, visited with L. C.
