many years basketball was "It" in sports to Hoosier lads. Now. with the school consideration program eliminating the number of schools in the state, a much more varied athletic program is coming to (-very school. but still that period from November 1 to about the third Saturday in March, basketball is still king. INDIANA HAS LONG BEEN known for its basKcinail and the boys from th-' high school- all over the stat-' have certainly maintained their own all over the country. All-American^ have popped up from the Atlantic to the Pacific and n »’ just from the large school' of Indiana but every place that his enoun-h room L> put up two b ickb--ards. has contributed to the program. BASKETBALL GETS THE official nod to start practice - n October 1. Most c ach-s take

advantage of this although some schools with football programs where th-- same boss ur- comp lin both sports, do--n t get with the meat of the p a-1i ■ until aroun 1 th-* fit t <'f N a-tub- i.

N' v. nt . v.a; o. .ppearing before Un p . h< as l.iey will become househ 11 words as they progress in this great sport. Maybe a local boy who used to d< hver your p «pm or earns your grocerie at the neighborhood store will emerge as the big star this year. It might be a returning name that will continue to set the pace and move to the t< p like cream in a can of milk. It might be your sun or nephew, boyfriend of your daughter, or just the kid next d-s-r who used to be just a little to mischievous to settle down to anything like basketball. BASKETBALL IS KING AND treats those who play royally. It is a raie d.-y, but always the one that gels the publicity, when an athlete gets into trouble. Take the number of cas. s handled by the juvenile oflicials and th-n take th- number of at In Ites inv- Ived and y--u will find th- Jimmy Ward ca'vs or the Jim ■Goose” Ligon (ase arc the exc<pti n and not the rule.

Oft- n a boy “follow, his coach int - Hus professi- n taking education in college and majoring in physical education to be a coach like the one they s remember ir-m high si hool days. This IS often seen in the similarity of coaching tactics and evt n the way Hu coaches handle the boy.

A gnat lesson can be taught from competition and also th-- burning de n of winning an ! the heartbnak of 1 -sine.
