TEXAS QUINTET COPS CAGE TITLE Chicago, April 8 — (U.PJ-A tall, fast passing basketball team from Athens, Texas, was on Its way home today with the national high school championship. Athens won the title Saturday night by defeating Classen high of Oklahoma City.. 25-21, in the final game of the University of Chicago's eleventh annual tournament. The biggest team in the tournament, the Athens aggregation used its height to win al of Its six games. Possessing ability to handle the ball in great style, the Texans literally passed over the heads of all opponents to work under the basket for short shots. It was seldom that Athens used a long, shot. i Basketball critics regarded the Atli ens outfit as one of the greatest teams which ever came to the tournament. Possessing practically everything in the way of basketball ability the teams combined this with endurance greater than that shown by any other team. They finished every game with a rush in the final quarter. Classen, to reach the finals, showed a great passing game and perhaps the greatest individual star who ever appeared in the tournament— Andy Beck, guard. Beck, a great shot from either short or long distances, maneuvered his team in fine style and was the outstanding captain of the tournament. He was unanimous choice for all-Am-ericait Brockton. Mass., won the consolation championship by defeating Nor ton high of Cicero, 111., in the final game of the consolation tournament, 17-10.

Jones To Retire? Bobby Jones’ impending retirement from tournament golfs was forecast recently by O. B Keeler, the amateur champion's closest friend among sports writers. But when the call to battle sounds. Bobby will find it hard to resist. He has tried to stay away from championships ere this, and has weakened at the last moment-

I he expressed his appreciation for the! splendid cooperation he had received from every post In the district. Hej i urged them to continue their member-1 ship drive to put the eighth district; i at the head of the parade at the state I convention, to be held at Richmond. I August 25 to 27. McHale Makes Address ■ Frank McHale, of Logansport, past state commander and present national committeeman, and Col. A. C. i Daugherty, of Indianai oils, also spoke at the business session. Each post in the district was in- ' structed to appoint an advisory com-f 1 mittee, to be composed of prominent men of the town or city, who are not ■ members of the post. Glen Griswold, of Peru, commander | of the eleventh district, and Clarencei Cominawish. of Fort Wayne, twelfth district commander, were present and I they were called on for short talks. New Post At Geneva The organization of a new post at i Geneva was announced during the busipess session. The officers of the post will lie elected in the near future. The Decatur post assisted in forming the new post. At 6:30 o'clock, the legionnaires enjoyed a feed at the Country Club. The ; meal was served in army style, each person taking his plate and passing I by the kitchen, where his food was dished out to him. About 350 persons ■ were served. Following the meal, another program of speeches was held, with Mr. Patchell president. France Cuter commander of the local post, made a ■ short talk, in which he extended greetings from the local post to all 1 present and thanked all the legionnaires for attending the conference. I Faulkner Unable To Be Here , Perry Faulkner, of Montpelier. 0., former Indiana state commander, who was scheduled to deliver an address dining the program, was unable to be J present, due to a throat operation which he recently underwent. Addresses were given by Fred Wiecking, of Bluffton, state commander: ' Clarence McNabb, of Fort Wayne, and s Pleas Greenlee, of Indianapolis, pres- < ent state adjutant. 1 Following the banquet, the legion- ■ naires were entertained with several I : boxing bouts by a class of boys from I Bluffton, piano solos, singing and vaudeville. Groups of veterans gath- c ered here and there to talk over ex- 1 periences of by gone days. It was late * in the evening before the crowd dis-1 persed, despite the fact that many of |« the veterans were nearly 100 miles j - from home. Rebekahs Hoid District Convention Here Today : A large number of delegates were 1 present in this city today to attend the district convention of the Re-'' betah lodge, being held in the 1.0.0. F. . , lodge hall. The afternoon session was | i devoted to the business of the orga-, I nization, with the district officers in 1 charge. This evening, a banquet will | 1 be served to the delegates, in the ' basement of the Christian church, and prepared and served by the Christian Ladies Aid Society, after which the evening session of the 1 convention will be held. Initiatory work will be given by the Bluffton 1 lodge. j Lucy Colchin, Henry Heideman and , Julius Heideman of Decatur, Mr. and ; Mrs. Walter Colchin and son Billy, of j Fort Wayne were dinner guests of' Monica Bueter, east of Fort Wayne |

“When I read in the newspapers that the boys are gathering at Brae Burn or Sandy Burr,” said Jones in explaining the difficulty he has in giving up the game he loves so well, “I just can’t resist the urge to get out my clubs and go and have one more try." The Atlantan is playing less golf than heretofore, but he is playing just about as well as ever. The Pros Hope So Bobby Jones for years has been a thorn in the side of the pot hunting professionals, many of whom have resented his success in the open eventsThe professionals feel that one of their number should be allowed to win the valuable first prize in the national open, for instance, since success in that event is worth between $50,000 and SIOO,OOO to. the winner, if properly exploited during the ensuing twelve months. Gene Sarazen, however, maintains that Bobby benefits the pros by lending his attendance at open tournaments of lesser degree, since they share in th gate receipts and it has been demonstrated that at least as many people will pay to see the Atlantan as will pay to see all the other golfers put together. It Bobby does retire permanently, perhaps George Voight, the young North Hills amateur who did so well at. Pinehurst last week, may succeed him as the simon-pure thorn in the professional side.
