HOOSIER NET FANS PREPARE FOR TOURNEYS Sectional Meets Will Start Week From Today in 64 Places « By Dick MlMller (Written for the United Press) fndiaMpolis, Ind., Jan. 31 HIP) Jiist fonr weeks from today Indiana will he a melting pot of basketball, A hot bed of enthusiasm. The ninteenih annual Indian! H’gh School Athletic Assoi iation st* e net tournament play will get under W ay in 64 section centers. '1 hat will lie the first step towards determining the "survival of the fittest.” and nt reducing the field from nearly 800 s ars. One week later the winner of each of the 04 sectional center tournaments will gather, four each in 16 regionals to again lower the number of t arns. Another week and 16 remaining teams will play under the roof of Butler field house in Indianapolis, the tournament i*ia>- of two days to determine th* team to sit on the pinnacle of Hoosier basketball as champion of 1830. In this tournament system of Indiana basketball, every team, so to speak, has a ehnee, remote though it may seem for many of them. Officials of the althletic Associating have attempted to even matters up, and one of the first moves was to eliminate the advantages of the lasJe schools over the small. No matter how large a squad a school mwy have, only eight boys may be used in sectional tournament play and these must be certifies! ahead of i hem. Nearly every school has eight and under this system of play no school is outclassed because cf lack of reserves. Then in the regional and final tournament the number of eligible players Is issued to 10. This is done for two reasons. One that the physical energy of the players may be conserved ar much as possible, and that a greater number of substitutes mav get a bit of tournament experience. Basketball has become a technical problem to the Hoosier fan. No matter how small the hamlet or large he city the fans therein have their thorough knowledge of the net game. While every team may have its chance it is impossible to convince Hoosier fans who have watched the various teams in action and along abou now they begin counting the boys on here nd there as possible conteniers. Having watched these tournaments back in the days when ’ mie- Stonebiak r and a group of boys from a little hamlet without a gymnasium went to Bloomington nd copped the title two years in succession, we naturally give the outsider a chance. "Stoney", the big lanky boy. stood under the hoop and as his team mates fed him the .lather, he would drop it through for two points. He and his teammates had gained their finesses ami ability by traveling miles away from -onie to ;et to a gym for practice. Then another small town team, Thorn-ton, won the ilex year, bir after that the title annually went to teams from towns with at leas, enough population to be county ts. The day of the hamlet team winning seems to have passed, bu they still add color to the tourna uenls, as they appear in the role of

dark horse. Funs naturally like their dark horses and victories by these II tie teams with generous approval. From the final tournament stand point It now appears that several teams have their tickets bought for the trip to Indianapolis, subject to change only through tremendous upsets in sectional or regional play. Auburn, Fort Wayne Central, I Frankfort, tlre- neaste, Logansport, Martinsville, Minn ie, and Washing ton look like final tournament entries. Bedford shoud be In Indianapolis! again as they have defeated what appears to lie their biggest treat, MitcheU. Shelbyville looms as u threat to Columbus in the regional and up north there is a real problem for the prognostics ors. One would rather figure Horace Mann easily, but wo do that only after wondering if they will be able to conquer Washington of East Chicago, and 'La Porte. Coach Keith Brown has been using some peculiar theory with his leant and we are ready to admit they are too tough for ns to figure. In Indianapolis the fur will fly when Anderson and Tech get together in the regional. Tech will top the outstanding Anderson lie n and win. we judge, but that choic > is with a bit of reservation. If by chance Kokomo and Marion would get together in an afternoon game at Marion, there is quite a chance for Hartford City to smack down the winner and take th? re gional honors, otherwise given Kokomo by a shade. It will probably lie between Ceti tral of Sou h Bend and Goshen -r Mishawaka, and the recent defeat of iaiPoite by Goshen puts that earn in the contender list along with Rochester, now regarded as an up-et five. Connersville, in spite of a recent defeat at the hands of Rushville, is expected to be at Indianapolis, and between Vincennes and Central of Evansville it is our liking to take Vincennes as the 16th final tournament entry, but that is done with he realization that Mark Wakefield and his Evansville teams ate never to be counted out before the final gun.

PURSUE WINS FROM LOYOLA Lafayrtte, Ind., Jan. 31. —<U.R> - The mighty have fallen — Purdue basket tossers brought down with a crash the great Loyola quintet of Chicago which theretofore had won 34 consecutive games in two years. The score in last night's tilt was 25 to 20, but it took tn overtime period to make it that. it was one o' the those furious battles which was any body's ball tame to the final gun—even aft -r Purdt'e had made five points in the overtime. The two Charles Murphys formed the colorful background of a colorful game ami each center acquitted himself well. Purdue led at the half 14 to 7. ' er Loyola had made the firs: s x points, but thence forward the famous Chicago team presented a brilliant offensive. They missed winning the game by a free thron when at one point behind and two chances from the foul line, they halved the attempts and left the score 20 to 20. Each o" the centeis has been prominently mentioned as all Am-| eiican material. Loyola's pivot | man scored nine of his team's! points, and Purdue's "Stretch" ran;; up five. —o Fighters Are Ready Chicago, Jan. 31. — (U.R)~“Poonch! Poonch!” That is what Primo Camera says he will do to Elzear Rioux tonight. “1 keel the big bum!" And that is what R oux says he w'll do to Primo. So theie, ladies and gentlemen, you have the las’t minute state-, ments of the two principals in Ch.cago’s imminent elephant weight battle. i Although it has little or no bearing on the present scramble for the heavyweight title, the fight has brought out fistic interest, the l.ke of which Chicago has not seen s nee that September night in 1927 when Dave Barry proved he could count up to fourteen. The fans think Camera will win and it was possible to get almost any odds asked if one wanted to bet on Rioux Posessing more color than any heavyweight since Jack Dempsey, Camera has the whole town anxious to see him and off cials of the Chicago stadium believe for once they will sell all of the 23,000 seats. The fight itself may or may not be worth watching. The opinion prevails that Camera will knock over Rioux much in the same manner that he clouted Rig Boy Peterson In his first appearance in this country. 0 Perfect Food Fruit, vegetables and milk—the perfect food triumvirate for power and a kingly enjoyment of life. |

TMSKM&WE 9 ° h. Well we’re back In New Jerusalem, after a trip down where they think basketball is played AS IT SHOULD BE—but we’re still confident that Decatur high school Yellow Jackets can hold their own against the best of them. Wo passed through a little town, down in southeastern Indiana —mayb- it was .New Bethel or some such name —the town had a grocery store, a. filling station ami one of the most beautiful high school gym nusiums in the state. An unincorporated town, with a population of a ,ew hundred with a gymnasium t< sent five or six limes that many nd then her in Decatur we liav • two gysns, one with a low ceiling and one with posts. Decatur high school Jackets go to Kendallville tonight— Four local business firms will broadcast the game, play-by-play over the Citizens Telephone lines and loud speakers —Bill Bell will be at the other end. You can hear the game at Baker's Restaurant—The Green Kett'e—The M. and O. Confectionery or the Daily Democrat office. if you don't want to hear the tame call 1,000 or 1,001 any time ftei 8:45 for the running score of he game. Saturday night the Commodores to to New Haven, where a, revampd Commodore team will meet the .as -going New Haven Bull Dogs — and it ought to be a real game. We’re banking on the Laulentmen to come back with a dog in their sack.

iTonight's game ought to be one .'oi Crowds Keller over at Huntington to sing psalms about, the Decaur Angels from New Jerusalem neet the Kendallville Red Devils. Glory Be. Mr. Srowds —why don't vou take your rough neck Vikings >ver to sea basketball game. Two weeks from tonight Decatvr . ntertains the West Suburb—oachless wonders—Regardless of Bluffton s u. her poor r.-cord, the ,ame will be a dandy, because the Jecatu;-Bluffton game always is in erestingly close and hard fought. Don't expect too much in tips ie-atur-Kendallville game tonight. The Berne-Kirkland game tonigi; t K r. land ought to be a real fusel Kirkland is somewhat weaken cd by the absent? of one or two regulars because of sickness—but he Kangaroos will put up a real at.ie, a cot ling to word from the ang.oo headqnar ers. The Berne B ars will win. conies he word from Berne — un i with oth teams feeling the pulse of con idence —its going to be some ,a:ne- - No doubt several Wei's county scouts w'li be among ttfe spectators—because both Berne and Kirkland are pos ible and probable Wells county sectional winners. Four weeks from today nine hundred and some high school net teams turf ire three-wcek grind for supre nacy in Indiana basketball circles. The Curtismen will walk into one >f the toughest sectionals in the ute Fort Wayn —it means that to go to the Regional Decatur must dispose qf Cen.ral, South Side, NewHaven and North Side. Then to go to the state tourney the winner of that tangle of 'earns must defeat the West Suburb winner, the Huntington winner and the Columbia City winner— There's seme test of ability—both the sec ional and regional will be immature state tournaments. Don’t worry Fans, some time the sectional tourney will come back to Decatur and if we ever get a gymnasium with more than a 4-inch clearence at the roof and with a few more stats we might even get a Regional meet.

FOR many years Moor Man’s Hog Minerals has been the highest quality mineral feed obtainable, regardless of price. Now comes a new improved method of feeding—MoorMan’s Hog Minerals in block form. Moor Man’s Hog Minerals always produced a profit for the feeder, yet in feeding the old powdered form of minerals there was always some unavoidable waste. Now, however, this waste can be entirely avoided. By actual test, block minerals save from 15 to 20 per cent of the mineral feed.
