HIGH SCHOOL BASKET GOSSIP

Tech and Manual woved into the hall of fame Saturday by downing two of the strongest teams in the Ilousler hign school basket race. Tech knocked tne dopesters cold by trimming Lebanon at Lebanon, 20 to 22, in a game In which the conquerors of Franklin, Bloomington, Lafayette and Martinsville never had a chance, the local five leading at all times. Manual stock was boosted way up to the sky when the Red and White goalf:etters bested Bedford Saturday at the ocal “Y,” 27 to 23. Bedford has been setting t pace In southern Indiana circles that stamps it as one of the best in that region, a recent win over Bloomington being one of its most noteworthy achievements. Manual had to stage an almost Impossible comeback in this contest in order to gain the decision, as the score at one time in the first half was 19 to 2 In favor of Bedford. The locals trailed the visiting five until the final minutes of play, when Prout threw lu the winning marker from the center of the court. These two victories of the Indianapolis quintettes are particularly noteworthy, coming so close to tournament time, and they rank Manual and Tech right up with the best la the State.

Rochester gave tho weather-beaten dope bucket its hardest Jolt of the week by beating Anderson Saturday. 4.S to 24 The game was played at Rochester. This defeat Is by far tlio worst that Anderson has suffered this year and it throws a new light on the race in the northern region.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 14,1921.

Real Scrap Carded Between Turner and Jewish Basketeers South Side Rivals Meet in Amateur Sectional Finals at T Tomorrow. Indianapolis Independent amateur sectional honors will be decided Tuesday night, on the “Y" floor, when the South Side Turners and Young Men's Hebrew Association five battle for the right to represent this district in the State meet to be held here Feb. 24, 25 and 26. The two have fought their ways over the strongest opposition the city can offer and by right of superior playing qualities will meet In the last game of the tournament. The Pottawattamls and Diamond Chain team play' a curtain raiser and the big gamo will start at 8:15 o’clock. The two are undoubtedly the class or local amateur teams, for their victories over their opponents were decisive enough to leave no doubt as to which was the stronger team. Each met some hard opponents, but produced tho required class in the emergency. They were favored to reach the finals before the start of the meet. Added interest is given this last scrap, for tlie two strongest rivals In the field are pitted against each other. No two teams covild have entered the final round and carried into it the grudge these two teams will, it should be by far the best and fastest game of them all. This will be the third time tha Turners and Y. M. H. A. have faced each other this season. The Jewish lads won the first game by a decisive marglu and the Turners copped the second one recently by just about as large a margin. The Turner* will be handicapped to a certain extent in the game Tjiesday night, for they will be minus the basket eye of "Hank" Stevens. The Turner star will be unable f<<r duty and hi* absence detracts considerably from Turner chances to win. However, the Turners are fighting ttuishers and Utce, Underwood and Middlesworth have displayed enough speed to warrant the assertion that they will boa mighty hard bunch to stop. The Jewish lads intve one of the steadiest combinations In the State lu the two Rosenthals and Sagalowsky, a good passing crew that can shout baskets. ’ TOURNAMENT GOSSIP. The Turners again gave, the fans their money's worth Saturday afternoon when they trailed ;lie l.tuders for the first session. then came around them with tho speed tkut Ralph I'e Palma travels when he gets u couple of minutes behind lu the Indianapolis Speedway races. The leaders held a 17 to 14 advantage over tho Turners at half time, but Underwood, It he and Mtddleswolth got down to business early lu the second session and soon liud the Red aud White combination out in front, where they stayed until the final whistle showed ihem leading, 31 to 27. Bom# folks don't like “nob" Bam urn's style, but his six field goals and five fouls out of ix chances are not to be overlooked, and a couple of forward* are going to have to show an awful lot of stuff Tuesday night to keep him off tho ull-couutry team. It s about an ev* u break between Bamum, Middlesworth, lilcu and Joe Rosenthal now. Os course, if "Hank" Stevens had stayed out of his fight with Mr. Mumps everybody would know who was going to knock off ouo of tha forward Jobs. Ths Boys’ Club had sn essy time beating the 1 ruction Terminals, 35 to C, then went down In a 4S to 10 heap before tho Y. M. H. A. lu tneir semi-final battle. Before reaching the semi-finals, the Y. M. H. A. hud to sidetrack the I>en /.ares, which was not such an easy task as the 24 to 15 score would Indicate. Hawkins kept tab on .Toe Rosenthal during this tiit and the flashy forward couldn't get a field goal. However, ho fed Ills brother Mike lu flue style, and the latter caged four from under the hoop. Joe got seven ugaiust the Boys’ Club. It might be well to mention at. this time that the Leaders were bumped off by the Turner* In the seuil-flnuls last year. Something like two points separated the clubs in the final counting. Ke.mpler of the Leaders drew three personals for lumping Into Underwood at tho pivot post lu the first few minutes. After that lie bad a pretty tough time getting tha jump. Slaughter pulled three of those shots that made him famous :ts u Tech player in ths Deu Zure-Y. M. 11. A. scrap. If Reagan Nnney, Leader floor guard, could do as mib h guarding us he does speeding he'd look lika a million bucks In uny line-up.

HOOSIER FIVES GO OUT AFTER RICH REWARDS Indiana Sees Chance to Regain Conference Lead—WabashButler Battle Here. IRISH VISIT NEBRASKA A basket-ball card with all the bright lights of the old and original White Way Is offered lloosler fans this week, and Indianapolis is right up there in the front line with the feature stuff. Indiana’s try at driving Illinois back out of the Western Conference lead position, Notre Dame’s Invasion of Nebraska and the Wabash-Butler battle on the Irvington floor are the big features on tlie program, and a better set could not be /asked. Indiana was knocked out of a tie for the Conference lead Saturday night when Illinois defeated Minnesota at Illinois, this result giving the Suckers five games won and one lost, against four won aud one lost for Indiana. The Hooslers, however, play two games this week against one for Illinois, and the leaßt they aan get ont of two victories Is a tie for the top berth, while there is a big possibility of them taking an undisputed hold on the proclous top rung of the Big Ten ladder. CRIMSON TAKES ON OHIO STATE. Indiana tonight meets Ohio State, i a team thev have already defeated, on the Bloomington floor, and Saturday filgnt they take their stand against Northwestern on the Northwestern Door. The Crimson also has a win over Northwestern this season, and should come through the week's battles without a scar. The opposition for Illinois will be furnished by Wisconsin at Urbana Saturday night. Furdue plays lowa at lowa in their only contest for this week. However Interested Indianapolis fans may be In the rise of the Indiana quintette, they cannot help but give their oh inf attention to, the contest between Coach I’ete Vaughan s Wabash comblnattaui and the proteges of Fat l’age on the Irvington floor tomorrow night. Every Indianapolis fan who can crowd his way Into the Butler gym Is going to see th.s scrap, and there will be a lot of others siaiiding around outside to get the final score at the earliest possible moment. Wabash and Butler have claims to the State tit!* that are about a* good at comparative scores can make them, so it will not pay for either of them to lack any of their old form lu the battle tomorrow night and the one next Monday l ight at Crawfordsville. Butler has lost two games to Furdue, and Wabash has defeated Furdue twice, hut Butler has defeated Vincennes and State Normal, victors over Wabash, and Earlbam, victors tver Furdue, which makes the task of picking tomorrow night's winner about as easy as finding a piece of tender steak In a "Greasy Spoon.” TWO GAMES TOR DENTALS. In other games of local Interest, Heze Clark S' nils hi* Dents'.* after the scalps of tbe St. Joe and Hanover athletes St. Joe Is here for action on the Shortridge f1..0r Wednesday night, find Hanover will strut on the Athenaeum court Saturday night. Sutler meets Western Normal at Kalamazoo Friday night \\o cun expect to hear almost anything from' the Notre Dame club this week end. The Irish are going to leave their friends behind them and gallop over to Nebraska for a few battles that will really bo battles. Thursday night they take on f reighton at Omaha and Friday aud Saturday thev go to the mat with Nebraska at Lincoln. This may mean four game* In three days for tho South Rend huskies, because t(jey always make it two out of three with Nebraska, and If. tha honors re divided in ti e first md second games, then they square off for a double header Saturday night, so that there will be no room for argument when they start back to Indiun*. Coach Halls* will take a big squad to Nebraska am) will play substitutes whenever he has the opportunity. IJne-ups composed mostly of second string men defeated Western Normal and Armour Tech by comfortable margins at Notre Dame last week, and right now St looks as though there la little to choose bet .'sou any of the men on the squads. Butler s athletes put over their sixth straight I C. A. L. victory Saturday night, defeating Rose I’oly by a count of 44 to 19. The locals had it on the Rosemen from the start and after the first few minutes of playing the only question was lu regard to tlie six* of the count, j Jones, Hooker and Leslie got over the 1 floor in great style for Butler aud rang the basket goal Just about when they pleased. The Purdus University basketeers bettered their standing In the Conference with a 81-to 23 victory over Ohio State. The first half of this scrap ended n th the teams tied at 17-all, but Furdue uncovered a furious attack in the sec-

DUFFY BEAMS BOSTON OPTIMISM

BOSTON, Feb. 14.—Prophets working on the 1921 baseball season aren’t giving tho Boston Red Sox much of a look-in for the American League race. Likewise, \he home fans of "beantown” aren’t wildly enthusiastic about their Red Sox. Too much trading by the club owners has put the fans in a belligerent mood. Under such conditions Hugh Duffy, new manager of the Red Sox, has his work cut out for him. . "What I would have to say now about the pennant race would be worth Just what all winter predictions are worth —Nothin,” Duffy said. "However, the Red Sox aren't in the league just to fill out the schedule. We’re going to play baseball this

ond session and won handily. Twentyfive fouls were called on the Ohio crowd, and Don White made'fifteen free throws for points. Masters and Eversmau each registered four field goals for the Boilermakers. Greeflspur and Slyker were the main cogs in tne Buckeye machine. The Valparaiso University athletes had two much punch for tlie North American Gymnastic Union crowd and they were returned the victors by a 28-to-7 count on tho Athenaeum floor. The visitors threw up a Btrong defense that held the Physical Eds to a lone field goal, this coming from Glund in the first half. Kerateiu counted five times from the foul line for the locals. Eckluud ond Bradley were tho big scorers for Vulpo, each getting four field goals. State Records Broken in Local Swim Meet The I. A. C. Junior swimming squad triumphed over the Kokomo “Y" Junior artists in the I. A. C. tank Saturday night, 34 to 17, winning five firsts and placing second In four events. Henry Dlthmer, the young I. A C. star, was one of the bright lights of the moat, gaining three firsts. Miss Euphrasia Donnelly, the 14-year-old I. A. C. mermaid, contributed tbe most notable feature to the night hy winning the 500-yard women's swim in the remarkable time of a new State mark. Coach Joseph’s De Pauw splashers, while participating in tliolr first vwlmmlrg meet, gave, promise of developing into a strong squad. Two new Stale A. A. U. records were rung up. Miss Donnelly's murk surpassing the old one and Marine of Culver shattering the record In the plunge for distance.

7 \ I s’s rk. * r frir \pm \ 4mJFsr-'"itsf Vt'F C- n Build^Raiiroadi 1^ MANY New York Central stockholders own only one or two shares —a savings nest-egg. But the holder of a few shares of stock has the same satisfaction as the larger investor of taking part in the development of an important public service while providing an income for himself. In his classic study of “Lombard Street,” Walter Bagehot, the brilliant English economist, asserted that a citizen of London of Queen Elizabeth’s time would have thought it no use inventing railways because he would have been unable to conceive the possibility of collecting the vast sums of capital needed for their construction. Even Bagehot, vTiting only fifty years ago, probably would have been amazed by the thought of attracting the capital needed for the building and development of a thirteen-thousand-mile railroad system like the New York Central.
