four Teams To Battle Today For Net Title Indianapolis, Mar, 17. — (UP)—lt may be St. Patrick's Day to the rest of the world, but in Indiana, today, is the day the stale high school basketball championship is decided. Hoosiers who like their prep basketball—and that's practically all of them —will keep eyes and ears focused on the happenings at the Indianapolis state fairgrounds coliseum. A mere handful of 11,555 fortunate fans will have tickets to watch Evansville Bosse, South Bend Kiley, Indianapolis Broad Ripple and Huntington decide the 35th annual championship. But the other 3,427,790 residents of Indiana will put on a convincing demonstration, too, of how "Hoosier madness” infects this otherwise sane state. Nearly every newspaper — from the smallest weekly to the biggest daily—will “staff” the tourney tinals. Sixteen of the 21 Indiana radio stations will broadcast play-by-play descriptions. Even busy Governor Gatee will, be on hand. The state's chief exe- ■ cirtive dates his love of basketball to the days of 1910-11-12 when he fired away at the .hoop for Columbia City high school. * The Bulldogs of Evansville Bosse were a 3-1 or better favorite to repeat their title triumph of a season ago. But that merely whetted the appetites of the sane, who always pull for an upset once their own club has fallen by the wayside. Bosse tips the tourney lid in the 1:30 p. m. game. Indianapolis Broad Ripple provides the opposition. Capital city residents, who * re-discovered” local high school basketball when Ripple came up with a powerhouse this season, will bet any amount that Bosse’S veter-an-champions never will get by Ripple. But the experts figure that Rip-

$350 Coon Hound Is Shipped Back East Walter Gerber of Craigville has shipped back to the former owner the $350 coon hound whicS he received via Railway Express a few days ago. The original owner lives in Honaker, Va. The dog's name was Leade. The hound escaped from its crate and Robert Krick, local agent, finally caught up with it when word was sent to him that Billy Wolfe, of Schirmeyer street, had caught the dog. It was reported that Mr. Gerber had tried out the hound. The hound treed several coons, but Mr. Gerber didn’t fancy the way the animal readied qn a hunt so he decided to ship him back—and in a better crate. 0 — Trade in a Good Town — Decatur
