Never before has such a sparkling program been offered In one week's time and never before bas Interest among the fans surged to such a lofty pitch. This week will Just abont bring down the curtain on the collegiate games, and it starts the high school basketeers off on the opening lap of their State championship battles. The result of battles staged Saturday night In the Western Conference goes a long way toward adding Interest to this week's program. The Indiana and Illinois defeats at the hands of lowa and Michigan and the Purdue victory over Northwestern throws Indiana. Purdue and Illinois into a tie for the Big Ten championships, and gives Hoosierdom a better chance to walk off with supreme honors. The Boilermakers have three more games to play, being carded against Michigan at Michigan tonight, Indiana at Bloomington Thursday night, and lowa at Purdue Saturday night. Indiana has but two games to p'ay, meeting Purdue this week and Minnesota at Minneapolis next Monday. Illinois plays three games, being carded against Ohio State at Columbus tonight, Chicago at Chicago Saturday night, and Michigan at Illinois next Monday. So. the only chance Indiana has rests in their ability to win both their games while Purdue and Illinois lost two of their three. Between Illinois and Purdue. Purdue bas the harder schedule, if anything, but atand a good chance to put up a big fight at the last minute and go over for the coveted honors. goldsberry s loss HI RTS WABASH.

Trafalgar Conies Up for Win Over Local Five in Title Game Turners Break Under Strain of Heavy Schedule and Drop Hard Game. After defeating what were considered among the four best teams in the Indiana amateur basket-ball championship tournament, the South Side Turners, Indianapolis champings, broke under tbe strain oi their heavy card, and lost their championship battle with Trafalgar. 12 to 8, on the T. M. C. A. floor Saturday night. The Turners played five games In the tourney, playing three games Saturday. Trafalgar, on the other nand, went into the semi-finals on a bye and p ayed only two games on the final day. The locals were favorites to cop the big scrap, but after the first few moments of play, in which they outplayed their opponents on the floor, only to miss countless easy shots, It was plainly seen that tbe heavy card mapped out for them was more than they could carry. In the final half the Turners were in there on nothing hut a wonderful fighting spirit, which did not break until the closing gun was fired. The Times' choice for the All-State Independent amateur teams follows: Forwards —Rice, Turners; Records. Trafalgar; MiddleswortU, Turners. Centers—Underwood, Turners; Hensley, Trafalgar. Guards —Rhodes, South Bend; Secrest, Turners; Stevens, Turners. Rice, Records and Middlesworth are placed In the ford ward positions because they proved themselves the class of the tournament in covering .he floor, and ranked in the order named as the highscoring forwards of the tournament. Underwood ranked third In the scoring, and played so much better than his opponents at the pivot position Hint he was the universal choice for the position. Hensley gave Underwood his hardest Jumping fight and played a good floor game, especially on defense. Rhodes worked as a forward with the South Bend team, but he has speed to burn, plays a good defensive game and is a long shot artist, so he would go very well at guard. Brook Secrest of the Turners was the best floor guard and fastest man In the tournament. There was not a player in the tournament who could hold a candle to “Tubby'* Stevens as a back guard, or as a floor general. It was this player who was greatly responsible for the success of the Turner club. Lobby Records, Trafalgar forward, was awarded the Wayne Eturaelinun trophy for being the most valuable man to hij team in the tournament. Purdue Students Get Basket Scores Tonight by the Wireless Route LAFAYETTE, Ind., Feb. 2#.—Students of Purdue University tonight will a italt with added interest returns from the tame between the Miehlfran baa ket-ball train and the ]Soilrrmake r Hrr, as the nlreless station at Ann Arbor uill keen them Informed of the details throughout the forty minutes of play. For the last week the Purdue station has been in communication with tho Michigan station. Ketums from the Michigan-Illinois game were received Saturday night in this manner. The grame tonight has a strong bearing on the Conference standing, as a victory by Purdue will keep the Boilermakers In first place In the Conference race, or a defeat will put them In a tie for second place and out of tle running for the champlenplonshlp. Michigan defeated Purdue earlier in the season, 28 to 23. Two game* remain on the schedule after tonight. Purdue will play Indiana on Thursday night at Hl>onii ugtoa while lowa will close the hhoou here ou Saturday. Another Maroon Star to Coach at Butler Announcement wns made Saturday by Pat Page, athletic director at Butler College, that Paul S. Hinkle, one of the greatest athletes ever turned out by Chicago University has been signed to assist in coaching all teams at the Irvington institution. Hinkle will graduate from the Maroon school this spring, and will take up active duties at Butler Immediately following.

HIGH SCHOOL BASKET GOSSIP

Tickets for the local sectional meet went on sale today at the three Indianapolis high schools and Indications were that the sale would exceed that of any previous tournament by a matter of hundreds. Heretofore the crowded conditions at Tomlinson hall made it necessary to limit the number of tickets allotted to each high school, but this year with the big Coliseum as the stamping grounds, the sale will be practically unrestricted. Manual closed her lnterscholastlc season In fitting style Saturday, beating Thorntown, 49 to 20. at the local Y. M C. A. The one-sided victory puts Coach Morrison's sharp shooters In solid with the backers of the south side school in regard to the sectional tournament and it would be hard at this time to find au old Manual grad who can see anything but tho championship of thla district for the Red and White five. At the same time Shortridge closed Us season by dropping a tight game to Pendleton on the Shortridge court, 27 to 26. Shortridge followers refuse to give up the ghost even at this late date and they confidently expect Coach Julius' athletes to cause all kinds of damage In the coming tournament. Stranger things have happened and In the 1920 21 season, too. Coach A1 Feney's Cathedral tossers treated followers of the Catholic school to a pleasant surprise Saturday when they trounced St. Xaviers of Cincinnati, 24 to 20, in a thrilling contest ut Tomlinson Hall. St- Xuvlers came here with a big reputation, but the Cathedral boys were In their best form and wore unbeatable. Anderson put herself solid with a host of backers over the State when she took Jefferson Into camp Saturday by the topheavy score of 54 to 27 -the worst defeat of the year for the Lafayette crew. It Is possible that Friday's overtime game with Tech to a certain extent took the pep out of Jefferson. South Bend broke Into the limelight at a particularly opportune time, by downing the strong Frankfort quintette, 29 to 23. Frankfort is generally regarded ns one of tho strongest fives in the northern region and South Bend will be shown due respect In her district tourney as a result of this victory. The short Intervening distance before tournament time will be devoted largely to rest by the basket fives of Manual, Shortridge and Tech If It la possible for a high school athlete to get any real rest on the eve of such an event. Only light work-outs and aigual drill will be given the players by the mentors of tho three Institutions. AMUSEMENTS. ISsßSapsl [eluded *1“ a TJLdfl eluded | !

At the meeting of the State high school athletic board here Saturday, Hammond High School was found guilty of the charge of playing ineligible men and was suspended from the association until Sept. 1, 1921, thus prohibiting the upstate school from competing lu the Gary district tournament this w -ek and wrecking their chances as a Stute championship contender. The men in question were Shelton and Caldwilder, who formerly played with Crawfordsvllle. Shelton was selected by Pat Page as AllAmerican high school forward last year while playing with C'rawfordsville In tho national high school tournament at Chicago. It seems that Shelton and Caldwalder worked at Hammond during the summer, and when school started remained there, entered the high school and starred on tho baskat-ball team throughout tho season.

RING STRUGGLE FOR TITLE SET FOR JULY DATE Rickard Selects July 2 for Staging of CarpentierDempsey Battle. NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.—Tex Rickard today announced the Dempsey-Carpentlee world’s championship boxing match will be held on Saturduy, July 2. In keeping with tho agreement, ho will notify •Tack Kearns, manager of the champion, tomorrow, sixty days before the date, and will cable the announcement to Coxpentier. The site selected for the Mg bout will not be announced. “I am asking the principals for an extension of time —about twenty days in which to reach a decision* I must choose between several good places in mind ” Rickard told the United Press today. Rickard, who has been confined to his home with an attack of stomach trouble, was at his office in Madison Square Garden this morning. “I hope to arrange a meeting with the lawyers 'and get the contest transferred to me tomorrow,” he said. “I have a letter now from Charles B. Cochrane, assuring me that he wants to withdraw his interests. I am not sure of Brady’s attitude, but he was the first to seek a release.” Jack Kearns, manager of Dempsey, said the date was satisfactory. That Carpentier would approve of the date wa* the opinion expressed also by Gus Wllfcen, his trainer aud lnterpieter. Ther is little doubt along Broadway that the contest will be held on this side of the water. Meanwhile the boxers are free t* engage In any contest —Dempsey on thit side and Curpentier on the other side of the Atlantic—up to May 28. A lack of opponents eligible to a crack at the title and willing to accept an offer within reason probably will keep Dempsey idle. Tbe champion, it became known today, is going to do a short turn in vaudeville. His engagement starts March 6 in Mlnneople and he will be kept busy for four or five weeks. His appearances will be confined to tho West. PURDUE MATMEN WIN. LAFAYETTE, Ind., Feb. 28.—Purdue won a hard-fought and exciting wrestling meet from Northwestern Saturday, 30 to 12.
