I. U. TO ENTERTAIN SIG HIGH SCHOOL TOURNAMENT

Indiana University will entertain the high schools of Indiana next March at the annual State High School Basketball Tournament. After a trial at Purdue University last year, the vote of the Athletic Association founder of the tournament idea, should be continued as the promoter of the athletic contests for state high school basketball honors. The vote of the association was 144 to 77 and a resolution supported by Purdue workers asking that the tournament be returned to that school was defeated when balloted on. As a place for the holding of the tournament, Indiana believes herself to be especially fitted. The gymnasium, considered as the best equipped in *the middle west, can care for the Crowds usually existent with the .-.i tests. The situation of the ’rrtnyure, in close proximity to all the fraternity houses, affords the best of helping facilities for the teams. The Booster’s Club, an origanization of representative men of, the campus, has long been accustomed to handling the crowds of the tournament and in arranging entertainments for the visiting teams and supporters. In this year of the Greater Indiana j-nd tlije celebration .of her one hundredth anniversary, .the students of the university will spend unusual effort to make the state tournament a success. The teams of the state ’will rnd a ready welcome back to the original tourney grounds where many a game of basketball has been for. ’it out in the past.
