SPORT EDITORIAL ! By EDDIE ASH. Indiana rightfully can lay claim to the distinction of being the greatest hotbed of basket-ball this side of the moon. At last count the Indiana State High School Athletic Association boasted of a membership of 629 schools, and 512 of these already have let It he known that they will enter teams in the coming State championships. It’s a colossal problem to keep so many teams in lino, send them through the various district tournaments, then through two regional meets and finally through a title tourney until /one lone quintet remains undefeated and is proclaimed champion. But the directors of the State association are not cracking under the strain and their system of handling this event of large proportions is being copied over the country. Its success has attracted nation-wide attention, and rightly so. Indianapolis always has taken a big part in the yearly event and it is destined to play even a larger part In the title games of March. A sectional meet will be staged here under the auspices of the three local high schools and later, following the regional tournaments at Bloomin-gton and Lafayette, the final title meet will be held here under the auspices of the three schools, Butler College and the Chamber of Commerce. Karl V. Ammerman of Manual Is this district's representative on the State board of control and Merle Abbot of Bedford, but formerly of Manual, Is president of the State body. To A. L. Trester of La Porte, permanent secretary of the State association, goes the larger part of the responsibility connected with the organization and operation of these annual events and though each season sees the task grow greater he meets it with the same efficient system. The city or town in Indiana that turns out a winning high school bas-ket-ball team gets State-wide and lasting publicity and prestige. It's a mark of distinction to be a resident of a town in this State that can boast of a title net five.
