GRANTS LIFER COMMUTATION Gurv Man’s Life S°ntence Is Bv Governor McNutt Indiananoli-i, Jan. 31— (U.R) — The second commutation of sentence for Nick Dundovich since he i disrupted a Croatian wedding in Gary in 1920 bv ki'line the bride's father was granted today by Gov. Pan! V. McNutt. When convicted Julv 30. 1920. on a f’rat decree murder charge, Dundovich was sentenced to electrocution. In Avcust. 1921. the sen'ence was commuted to life imprisonment. Today, the governor reduced the nevaltv to 20 years to life. Dundo'ich killed the bride’s ra'b«r rfte- bein'’ ordered off the remise., for intoxication.

Ever since Crawfordsville defeated Lebanon in 1911, for the first state hardwood diadem, the little towns have dominated the high school sportlight. It seems peculiar that the schools with the smallest enrollment produce stronger teams than those with a large number of boys from which to select a squad. It has always been the Wingates,' Thorntowns, and Lebanons that have taken the championship Muncie is the largest city to claim a winner. Indianapolis has placed two teams in the finals and South Bend, Gary and Terre Haute have had a representative in runner-up position once, but never a champ. Fort Wayne, the state's second largest city, has never penetrated farther than the semi-finals. The little darkhorses like Cicero, Beaver Dam, Michigantown, Hazelton, and Jasper have caused more consternation than most of the big town squads.. It was once jocularly remarked that if Beaver Dam had been required to have a cheer leader, there would not have been enough boys for the team. And yet this school of a handful of boys i turns out a better team than some

schools of two thousand. True, many of the small rural high schools have no football teams or other sports or recreation to occupy the time and devote the en I tire interest to basketball. WhereI as. the youth in a city turns to ; theaters, swimming, handball, and other entertainment. But, even so, the cities have so ' many gymnasiums in Y. M. C. A.'s, I churches, and grade schools that the youngsters should receive an oarlv training that would provide for better players in high schools. It is known that the little towns almost thrive on basketball alone during the season, and that little else matters. I believe that it is . the policy of larger schools with 5 several members on the coaching I staff to divide the interest of their gymnasium cla»ses among several sports to provide a balanced phys-, ical education program. However, many of the coaches find time to encourage basketball teams in the junior high schools to develop material for future varsities. And so. until a city breaks the little boys' monopoly on state i, championships, yours for better , i basketball.
