JIM GLASS IS BIG FACTOR ON ARCHERS'TEAM Six Foot, Nine Inch Center Potent Factor On South Side Five (Editor's note: This is the third of a series on state finalists.) Uy Bernard Crandell. (Vl* Staff Correspondent) Fort Wayne. Mar. 24 U.R> Six feet nine inches of basketball center, the tallest in the state cage tournament, will be the potent factor in the success of South Side of Fort Wayne against Columbus Saturday afternoon. His name is Jim (Hass, and he's one of the best rebound men in Indiana With such a wrngspread. it may be possible for him to stop the Columbus pivot-shot sensation. John Boyd, without making costly fouls. His nine-inch advantage in reach should get many points on Lip-ins. and the rebound situation ought to be 75 per cent for the Archers. The Archers are not a veteran bunch like Bedford. Hammond and Columbus. Johnny Hines, the guard who blankets the best enemy forward, is the only regular left from last year. Class played part , of last season. The others came up from the reserve squad. Inexperience in previous tourney competition apparently has not bothered the rangy Southsiders. Muncie’s Bearcats have been the only quintet to come within calling distance of them in tourney competition and then South Side slopped hrough a long one and a follow shot to take the Muncie semi-final. 37 to 33. They averaged 4)1 points a game through the sectional, regional and semi-final. Coach Burl Friddle has won two state championships, one as a player and the other as a coach. He played on the first of the three great Franklin teams, which started in 1920 with the state title and successfully defended it the next two years. In 1930 Friddle took Washington to Indianapolis, and won the crown. Fort Wayne, which almost had a - Last Time Tonight - “SCANDAL STREET” Lew Ayres. Louise Campbell. Roscoe Karns.

(champion last year when Central reached the -finals, is of the opinion that South Side Is the strongeat club it ever lias hud. The big city is long overdue for it cage crown. Muncie, with a population of more than 46.000. has been the 1 largest city in Indiana to win the annual IHSAA tourney. Fort Wayne has nearly 115,000. Other outstanding members of the Archer ranks are Bob Bidyard and Have Hamilton, forwards; James Roth and Harold Kitzmiller, guards, and Richard Frazell and Frank Belot. capable subs. Don Beery and John Chidester round out Friddle's squad. Kitzmiller shot the long one that rank Muncie for the semi finals championship. Bolyard has led scoring in the tourneys with 74 points. Hamilton follows closely with 70. Belot is the spot-shot artist used to shoot over a tight I defense pulled back under the bus-' ket. The Archer offense consists. mainly of block plays, with an oc- ' casional fast break when the enemy guards are caught down the floor out of position. Twenty-sev-! en victories in 30 games played ’ this season is an indication of its j success. The Southsiders were de-! seated by LaPorte in an overtime. I 24 to 25: North Side. 27 to 31; • and Bedford, another state finalist. ! 25 to 34. They grabbed the northeastern conference title with seven consecutive victories. Hammond is the only other league winner left ’ in the race. With the giant Glass in the lineup. South Side has u team averi aging 6 feet 2 inches in height, i Columbus will not be able to match I them in reach but knows the tricks | of efficient blocking under the bas- i ket which snares the rebounds. South Side will face a team I which hurtles down the court. I shooting at all times like a Y. M. 'C. A. free-for-all. It is hard to' stop but the cool Archer guards i expect to do i. They know a fast game too. but favor the slow break and a careful set-up for their shots. . Only 600 Archer fans have tie- ■ kets to the Butler field house games, but when the thousands of ' others hear that shrill tarting j whistle over the radio, they'll visualize big Jim Glass unwinding in I the center spot and four team' mates rushing into action toward ( their first state title.

Mar. 24 <U.F.; Not since the women's national horseshoe pitching championship ended in riotous hair-pullhtg several years ago. have St. Petersburg's artistic, social, and sporting icircules been so stirred as they were last night when Lou Gehrig's first motion picture. "Rawhide.' ! was given its world premiere. | Today the artistic group buzzed 1 with appreciation of the manner ' in which Pepper Martin, outfielding maestro of the St. Louis Card- - inals, conducted his "mud cat" band in the incidental music that accompanied the picture. For the 1 overture. Pepper chose tha difficult Arkansas classic, "Willie., my toes are sore.” The social set could not say 1 enough for the brilliance of the, pageant that preceded the premiere. Not in many a day has St. Petersburg, or any other city, for that matter, seen as many cele- ! brated persons, radiant in wind- ; breakers and polo shirts, roll ' through the streets in sleek and I hired limousines. And the sports lovers—well, they I could talk of nothing else but Geh- ; t ig's superb performance in the smash scene of "Rawhide" —a scene epic in its sweep and breathless in its action. In this scene. Gehrig, attacked in a pool room by a band of crooked cowboys, subdies them with billiard balls. One, Iby one they fall, their skulls cracked by Gehrig's perfect pegs. "Rawhide" has much more action than "Snow White and the' I Seven Dwarfs." in fact, I wouldn’t . be surprised if it hasn't more action than any picture ever filmed. For lovers of he sound of pistols going off. fists hitting chins, horses running, there never has . been anything to equal it. For 'some reason or another Gehrig is shown very little on horseback. But on those occasions when he is. he rides with the sureness of a true 1 Bronx bronco buster. Unfortunlately for those who would like to I watch Gehrig 'on horseback, he alI ways seemed to mount his horse near a big tree and immediately , ride behind it. Gehrig's teammates, who had | seats of honor at the premiere, were very generous with their 'praise. Only occasionally did they 1 yell rude remarks during the showi ing of the picture and Gomez

* one of America's keenest students of drama, said he thought Gehrig was far and away the best first baseman now in the movies. Joe McCarthy, when asked for his opinion. said he saw no reason why Gehrig should not hit .350 or better this year. "Rawhide' is a picture one may safely take the entire family to see —that is. provided one is big and strong enough to handle the complaints of the older children. i For myself I will remember the premiere as long as I live, if only for that breathless moment at the close when conductor Martin and his boys played "Possum np a gum stump."

WfIITREPLYTO LINDIS RULING St. Louis Cardinals Expected To Reply l<» Sweeping Decision i Belleair, Fla . March 24 <U-R> ■ The basebull world waited today j ; for Branch Rickey's answer to j Coiirtnlssloner Kenesaw Mountain I Landis’ denunciation of the St - Louis Cardinal's methods of oner ntlng their "chain store baseball system ” i In nearby St Petersburg. Rickey ! promised to reply in detail to the ■ findings of Commissioner Landis, j I but asked time to digest Landis’ | J nine pages and nearly 50o() words. ■ “At this lime the Springfield de-j | cislon which declared an estimated | 100 players free agents and assess led fines totaling $2,176 on three I Cardinal farm clubs. Springfield, i Mo., and Cedar Rapids. lowa . both ' of the Western le ague, and Sacramento. Pacific League, may not be known for some time. Il may be the lieginning of a war between Landis nad Rickey over "chain store baseball” or it may prove to be an unimportant decision affecting a lot of "5 and ' 10" ball players : The only Cardinal players who may be involved, are shortstop ' Jimmy Webb and outfielder John-‘ ' ny Hopp. Webb was with Cedar' ’| Rapids in 1935 and 1936 and played | ' with Columbus last year. Hopp i was with the Mitchell club of the i ' Nebraska League in 1936 and came >iup this soring from Rochester ;l Only 17 players of the Monett I Club of the Arkansas Missouri I league were made free agents by , Landis. All players lielonging to ] Cedar Rapids with the exception I ! of James F.
