Schedule Drawn For State Catholic Tourney

COMMODORES AND CATHEDRAL MEET IN OPENING ROUND Ten Teams Enter Annual Catholic High School Basketball Tournament Indianapolis. Feb. 28—Drawings for the second annual state Catholic high school basketball tournament, which is to be held at the Cathedral gym March ", 8, and 9, were made by members of the board of c. ntrol last night An important change was effected when it was announced that the tournament will be held over a three day period, instead of two as originally planned. Ten teams will compete for the state crown and th. right to represent Indiana in (he national high school tournament which is to be held at Loy la university, Chicago the Litter part of March. The following is the schedule of play for the entire tournament: Thursday 7:30 P. M. Richmond vs. Anderson. 8:30 P. M.—Cathedral vs. Decatur. Friday 2:30 P. M —Jasper vs. Washington. 3:30 P. M. - Vincennes vs. Fort I Wayne. 7:30 P. M. — Shelbyville vs. Evansville. 8:30 P. M —Winner of 7:30 and 8:30 Thursday. Saturday 2:30 P. M — Winner of 2:30 and 8:30 Friday. 3:30 P. M —Winner of 3:30 and 7:30 Friday. 8:15 P. M. I Finals) Winner 2:30 and 3:30 Saturday. The first game Thursday night brings together representatives of the northern and eastern sections < f the state when St. Andrews of Richmond and St Mary's of Anderson clash. This game will be followed by the Cathed-ral-Decatur batlie, which is expected to be one of the best games of the tournament. Cathedral has won six teen games and lost five for its most successful season in history, while Decatur also has an impressive record. Jasper and Washing! n are pitted together in the first game Friday. Little is known of the strength of Jas per in this part of the state, because I the southerners have no* met any teams in this section. However, they, have three veterans back from last I year’s squad, which lost a close game ; to Cathedral, the state champions, in I the semifinals and they should give I the Patriots a real battle. Northerners Formidable Central Catholic of Fort Wayne ami i Gibault <f Vincennes will meet in the, final Friday afternoon game. Fort . Wayne held Cathedral to a five point | victory last week and they will give j the Patriots a run for their money ! Like Jasper, Evansville, the othei | Southern contender, has played only; teams in that part of the state. They | play St. Joseph’s of Shelbyville in the I opening game Friday night. Shelby-1 vi'le has had an inconsistent season, winning against comparatively got d teams and then losing to weak opponents. Cathedral. Jasper, Decatur ami Fort Wayne loom as the strongest bidders for the title. Anderson fans see an-1 other “dark horse’’ in this year's team I Last year they came to the state and although they won their first two games, they ilid not look impressive I In the semifinals they met Fort Wayne playing a wonderful brand of basketball to down the up-staters. Extra seats have been installed for the large attendance expected from all parts of the state, but officials expect to hang out the “S. O.” sign before the tournament because of the intense interest this year. Field Goals By Mark M. Upp The Daily Democrat today presents its first basketball tournament edition. Support to the undertaking was given by most of the participating schools and by many loyal merchants. With this one at a starter, the Daily Democrat hopes to make, the tournament edition an annual affair, with each succeeding one bigger and better than the previous one. The nearer the time comes for the. tourney to open, the better we believe the local meet is going to be. We’ll be badly disappointed if there isn’t at. least one red hot. battle at each of the four sessions. As far as we have been able to learn, each of the eight teams will enter the tournament with its full strength. Kirkland is the only school to report a player ill, Dettinger, Kankaroo forward having been reported in poor condition the first of this week. However, he is expected to be able to play in the tournament. After looking over the schedule for the state Catholic tourney, which was released this morning, we can't figure

I out how a much more difficult schedule could have been arranged for the Commodores. They meet. Cathedral of Indianapolis in the second game of the tourney. If they get by that one, they will meet either Anderson or Richmond. If victorious in that enj counter. Coach laiurent’s team will I stack up against either Washington 'lor Jasper Academy, prolxtbly the latter. A victory in that, game would placet the Commodores in the finals I against either Vincennes, Fort Wayne I Shelbyville or Evansville. Meeting Cathedral in the first round of the tourney is a decided advantage for Cathedral. The Commodores will not have a chance to become accustomed to the Cathedral floor, where the tourney will be held. It is a well-known fact that Cathedral fears Decatur probably more than any! other team in the meet, and they would rather meet the Commodores in the first round, liefore the Decatur players get used to the floor.

However, the Commodores have the stuff to go through tliut schedule and if I,hey do and win the state title, there can be no grounds for alibis. They will have disposed of the best in the state. What do you say, Commies? We fear its going to be too bad for opponents of the Bluffton Tigers in the sectional tourney at Bluffton Jhis week-end. The Tigers’ coach. Lottis E. Means, and Mis. Means are the parents of a boy baby born at Indianapolis, Tuesday, and a proud papa is plenty hard to down. A total of 754 teams or 6,032 boys will don their playing suits Friday and Saturday to contest for the state high school basketball championship of Indiana. Upwards of 200.000 persons will witness the games. Who’s gona milk the cows, maks the beds and cook the ham an’? Do you remember when Lancaster defeated Decatur in the final game of the sectional tourney here in 19:15, 25-21? The all-tourney team was: Durr i Lancaster). Smith (Berne) ami Speheger (laincaster). forwards; Andrews (Decatur) and Bowman (Lancaster), centers: Miller (Decatur). Johnson (Lam-aster), and Moser (Decatur), guards. __Here’s The Dope Berne, Ind.

Primed and in the best of condition I 754 teams, involving 7,540 robust I youngsters, were to begin Indiana’s annual parade of toqrnaments which wil Iculminate in the selection of a state champion at the Butler Field house here March 15 and 16. The winners of these 64 sectionals will meet in 16 regional centers March 9, for the right to compete in the finals here. Some teams left for their sectional centers today so as to avoid traevl on tournament day. This year’s tournament list, 754, a record bifaker, has 14 more teams than last year’s tourneys. Four quin-1 tets were denied entrance because of failure to send in their entry blank on I time. It was estimated that some 300,000 persons would jam the 64 gymnasiums to view Indiana’s premier high school sport event. Early predictions for the state tifal have leaned toward seevral teams in southern and central sections of the state, with the north probably being well represented. ——o COLLEGE BASKETBALL Butler, 47: Earlham,. 19.

SHARKEY WINS BUT FIGHT IS TAME AFFAIR Winner Fails To Show Much And Stribling Disappoints Big Crowd Miami Beach, Fla., Feb. 28 —(U.P) (The greatest sporting spectacle the southland ever saw turned out to be a tremendous success. But the ten-round bout in Flamingo Park between Jack Sharkey of Boston and Young Stribling of Georgia, erstwhile contenders for the heavyweight championship of the world, was a :sorry anti-dimax. The victory scored by Sharkey fail-

ed to advance the big Lithuanian • towards the championship goal. If the outcome of (he battle, which 1 drew 40.000 spectators to the park amidst the palms, served definitely to eliminate Young Stribling from the heavyweight lists, it will have acr complished something. But this is 1 doubtful. * An alibi involving a dislocated ril. 1 and an attack of neuritis, prepared in advance, was being used today by ' the Stribling coterie to explain their 1 young man’s disappointing perform-

No sooner had Lou Magnolia, th'* third man in the ring and a far more aggressive individual than either of the contenders, raised Jack Sharkey’s hand In token of victory, than “Pa” 11 Stribling begun ro spout excuses for | his husky young son. Youn Stribling probably will be back seeking important heavyweight ■ engagements as soon as his swollen nose subsides. As for Sharkey, while he fought cleanly and skillfully against an opponent who Vuh difficult to hit last night, the Bostonian still lias to prove , his true worth —if indeed he is worthy to wear the crown laid aside by Gene Tunney. The fight was so disappointing, 1 that with Stribling backing away and holding and Sharkey failing to display any real class as a "kijler” even against an opponent whom he outweighed by ten pounds, that Madison Square Garden may bn content to pocket its SIOO,OOO profit and turn elsewhere for logical contenders. Sharkey, of course, remains in the forefront, but his step upwards here was a short and stumbling one. The fight was surprisingly close, after all. Sharkey won the final round and with it the decision. Stribling was not far from a chance to earn a draw, but he seemed to have given all he had by the time the tenth session arrived. .Naturally, the prejudices of the southland in favor of its favorite Untie son caused many to protest the verdict and to claim Stribling
