Tech Cops Opening Game in High School Tourney

Valley Mills Wins and Meets Tech Tonight—Ben Davis t Downs Southport. BROAD RIPPLE FIVE COPS By WOODY. Technical High ScSool scored an easy rictory over Beech Grove in the opening game of the Indianapolis sectional of the State high school basket tourney on the Coliseum floor this morning. The count was 32 to 11. Coach Black started his regnlar team against the Grove boys, but rushed subs on to the court before the end of tho opening session, which showed Tech holding a lead. - M A Black called his regulars back for a short time in the second half, but warned them not to work harder than was necessary to win. Griggs and Greenberg were the stars of the Tech play, while Rollins went best for the losers. This win puts the east slders In Jhe second round of the tourney and will bring them against Valley Mills in the 8:30 game tonight. Valley Milis came to the front for a victory over Castieton in the second contest of the morning session. The boys from the Valley were stepping around in great style and they came through the contest with a 30-to-13 advantage. Valley Mills also used substitutes, giving Lugar and McMullin, their best point men, a seat on the side lines shortly after the second half opened. Lugar, before going out, rang the field goal bell six times, while McMullin was good for two field goals and one foul. Teh Thornberry brothers played a wonderful guarding game for Valley Mills, allowing Castieton only three field goals. Gratner got two of these field markers, and Hinshaw got the other. The three of them were from long range. Gratner scored the seven other Castieton points from the foul Una. Immediately atter the Valley MillsCastieton game the fans started talking about the Valley-Tech effair. scheduled as the big attraction imight. It has not been thought that that Valley team had much chance with the east side hnskies, but the form they showed this morning switches things a bit. They now appear to have a good chance, but Tech should be able to put up the winning fight. Both teams pass the ball well and carry on combinations of accurate forwards, but Te-h seems to have superior speed and physical endurance. The Tech team this morning against Beech Grove looked better than It has at any other time this season. Coach Black had his men working like a piece of perfect machinery, and their followers can see nothing In front of them but the sectional honors. In the third and final game of the morning session Ben Davis took Southport down the line, 17 to 5. The contest was fast all the way through and was easily the most exciting of the morning session. Both sides guarded closely and It was only in short spurts that the Ben j Davis boys could pile up their points, i Stahm and Brandt were the big scorers for the winners. Pruitt and H. Klein each got one field goal for the losers, and Kyker finished their scoring with a free toss. Freizee. guard on the Ben Davis clnb, was greatly responsible for the small Southport score. He covered the court with plenty of speed and class, and the lose s had a hard time getting away for a clear shot. Broad Hippie slipped it over on New Bethel. 45 to 6. in the first contest of the afternoon session. The Bipple athletes surprised the fans with their speed and form in this game and their easy victory won them a host of new admirers. r The win puts the Hippie clan in the second round, pairing them with Ben Davis for the opening game tomorrow morning.

j Morrison 4, Jackson 7, Robertson 4, Shackle 2. Foul Goals —Jackman 1, Wlllsey 1, Shackle 1. Referee—Draper. Sixteen teams filled the schedule for the local district play and every one of those teams was backed by a confident crowd of rooters when the whistle sounded for the opening clash. Besides, there were a great number of Marion County and Indianapolis fans on deck to witness the battles. Special cars running to the fair grounds since early morning were crowded to the roof with youngsters and oldsters mingled together in one happy throng, and when the fans streamed Into the Coliseum and took a peep around it was unanimously agreed that the ideal spot for high school basket tournament play had at last been found. In two more weeks these fans, and many others from all points in the State will be back to the Coliseum to witness the State final games between the sectional and regional winners, the regloual games to be played at Purdue and Indiana Universities next Saturday. COMMITTEE DOES GREAT WORK. The Indianapolis high school tournament committee, composed of K. V. Ammerman of Manual, Fred Gortnan of Tech and Myron Tatlock of Shortridge, has worked Incessantly for the last few weeks In an effort to arrange everything ship-shape for the athletes and their supporters, and when the meet got under way today It certainly looked as though they had done their work well. The teams went to battle on the regulation Indiana High School Athletic Association 74x50-foot floor, around which was erected temporary bleacuerg to take care of the overflow from the regular Coliseum seats. In the rear of the bleachers on either end of the floor were refreshment stands, and standing room for the fans who might not find a seat among the 8,000 odd “parking places.” Large scoreboards had been erected on either side of the floor, high up In the steel framework of the building, in such Fositlou that they could be easily seen rom any point iu the huge building. LOCAL ROOTERS IN MAJORITY. Indianapolis school students and admirers, naturally, outnumbered all other Individual groups, and their cheering was far the more prominent. The cheer leaders were on the Job early and the noise started long before the court action. Manual and Shortridge were to come to grips at 2 o'clock this afternoon In what was carded as the feature scrap of the day and one of the most hotly contested of the tournament. Confidence was the big word In both camps previous to the game, but the dopesters were inclined to lead slightly toward the Manual aide of th.lt ga. >

Cannon Big Gun in Tilt on Tiger Floor With Scarlet Quint Nervy Forward Shows Great Form to Win After Gipson Is Injured. GREENCASTLE. Ind.. March 4. "Fuzz" Cannon fought the flight of his life and plJyed the game of his career to lead a crippled Tiger combination np for a 28-to-27 victory over the Little Giants of Wabash In a.terrific strugggle on the De I’auw floor last night. Cannon was here, there and everywhere, carrying the fight for De Pauw when things were going worst against them, or standing out in prominence as their one and only hope when a De Pauw offensive drive was launched. He was deadly accurate from the foul line, making eight or ten shots, and was right in there with the necessary pun-h in the second session vhen a ray of De Pauw hope busted through the dark cloud of apparent defeat. De Pauw lost Gipson, their crack forward and best defensive bet, in a bad mix-up in the center of the floor after three seconds of pl:(y. “Gippe" Jumped to receive a long, high pass, and as he came down he and Grater, the Wabash back guard who had come up from his teat, collided. Gipson was thrown to the floor, landing head first. The blow tendered him unconscious and he was carried from the floor to the Tiger dressing room by his teammates. Coach Buss sent Gipson back with but a minute to go in the first session, but he was still dazed and could not come back for the second tesslon. Late in this period,! however, he was called on again, but was ruled out of the game after a minute’s play on protest of Coach Vaughan of Wabash, as he hud already been substituted once. BUSS LOSES SECOND MAN. This “boner” by Coach Buss also lost him Laughlin, who had been taking Gipson’s place and who had also gone the limit on substitutions. Laughlin wus playing a game that only a victory-mad youngster can play when Buss called him out the t.econd time and his loss from the club made Cannon’s job a harder one. Alice took Laughlin’s place and played a creditable game, as did every member of the team. Adams and Goldsberry were the shining lights of the Wabash play, but neither of them showed their usual form. Both Adams and Goldsberry thrilled the crow dwlth clever field goals, then both of them missed several easy chances to score from under the hoop. Goldsberry a!so missed four chances from the foul line, while Adams passed up three. To “Butch” Burns, captain of the Wabash team, goes unlimited honors for his great sportsmanship, shown when Gipson was injured. The De Pauw players and Coach Buss tried to revive the star in time to get him back into the contest and they were off the floor more than the designated minutes for “time out,” but when Referee McCord started to call them back to the floor Burns told him to let them have all the time they wanted. De Pauw seemed to hesitate for a few moments after resuming play and there was many a slip in their play during the entire first hats, which ended with Wabash holding a 18 to 12 lead. Laughlin could not get gidng In the first session, but when he came out for the second there was fire in his eye and he Jumped In to play as good a floor game as any man in uniform. Cannon also cut loose with more speed in this session and played a game that will never be forgotten. In this second half ‘ Fuzz” himself outscored the entire Wabash team. He got four field goals and the same number of fouls, against four field goals and three fouls for Wabash. Mendenhall and White each got a field goal to make up the De Pauw deficiency for the first half. CANNON GETS THREE STRAIGHTS.

The real turning point in the battle came late in the second half when Cannon snagged three field goals in rapid ■ueccession, one from the distance and two from under the hoop, after some neat dribbling. After the third effort he suffered a wrenched knee and the De Pauw •'ambulance squad” made a second trip to the dressing rooms, but the plucky forward came limping out t minute later and finished the contest, boosting the De I’auw total from 28 to 2f. with two free throws on Stasand’s foul. Stasand bad substituted for Adams at the last minute and hoofcpd a field goal to boost the Wabash total from 25 to 27. Schoenlaub' got three Sold goals for Wabash, Adams three and three fouls, Goldsberry four and three fouls and Stasand one. For De I’auw, Cannon got five field goals and eight fouls. White got three fleJd goals, Mendenhall got one and Voting dropped in one. The contest closed the season for both teams and left the count standing even with them. Wabash defeated De Pauw, 22 to 19, in a previous game on the Crawfordsville floor.

Mathew, stnr guard of the Dental team, has been ill and was taken to his home at Whiting, Ind., two days ngo. Without Mathew, the back, guard, the Dental team was like a boat without a rudder. _ _ .

Purdue Puts Damper on Indiana*s Hopes for Big Ten Honors Boilermakers Pile Up Points While Marxson Is Out of Game. BLOOMINGTON, Ind.. March 4.—lndiana’s hopes for the Conference championship went glimmering last night when the Crimson five fell before the fast onslaught of the Purdue quintette, 29 to 20, in a game which was not decided until the lust few minutes of play. A crowd of 4,000 wildly cheering fans witnessed the Boilermaker basket tossers lengthen their lead by dropping three long range field goals through the ring after the two teams had fought through fifteen and ii'Utes of the second half. The work of White, Purdue guard, in tossing nine free throws out of tsen chances, was one of the important factors in determining the outcome of the game. While Miller did not annex a single goal, his floor work yas spectacular. Eversman divided honors with Marxson of Indiaua and Masters of Purdue in dropping the ball through for three baskets. Captain Dean and Debority of Indiana did not hit their strides, throughout the entire game. Maixson dribbled the ball down the floor many times, but lost at the end of the trip when he found himself in the net of Purdue’s impregnable defense. Thomas’ floor work stood out in the Indiana offense. Indiana annexed the first point of the game on Miller's personal foul, but W ilte came back for three single points when fouls were culled on Thomas and- Dean. Indiana tied the score twice during the fracas, hut was never ahead. Purdue made many of their long shots count for points, while Indiana feU short in counting long-range baskets. Th. break came in the middle of the second half when, for some unknown reason, Marxson, who was one of the main cogs in the Indiarta machine, was taken out with the scon* standing 17 to 16 in favor of Purdue. Immediately the Indiana morale began to crack and its team work to disintegrate. From this point on it was a Purdue landslide, and, although Marxson was rushed back into the line-up five minutes before the end the damage had been done and the Crimson was hopelessly out of the running.

SIXTH PLACE WOULD SUIT TYRUS

BY JACK VEIOCK, International News Sports Editor. NEW YORK, March 4.—Sixth place in the American League pennant race will satisfy Ty Cobb this year. He has hopes, however, that his team may do better. If Detroit manages to finish better than sixth, Cobb says he will feel thankful and w ill be ready to pay his respects to “Lady Luck.” The newly appointed manager-star of the Tigers is making no predictions. In a telegraphed interview with the wxiter today he modestly tells of his plans for the coming season. "As to my expectations regarding what Detroit may accomplish this year, I have very little,” says Cobb. “We have about the same team w-hich finished seventh in tl*> 1920 pennant race. There is nothing I could see in the way of making changes,trades and the like, for the simple reason that the men who did not do so well Inst year may be more successful under different conditions this year. Asa result I must wait and find out the men who will attune themselves to my methods. If I should discover after two months or so that certain players cannot deliver the goods, then I would go about making changes. "Last year we finished seventh. This years I hope to be able to finish at least sixth. If we should be lucky enough to finish a little higher I would feel very thankful. “I have never claimed anything for our club or myself as a manager. I am simply going to do my best and finish

Just as high as I can. One thing .owe, we will endeavor to let the opposition know they are In a game every day. “I hope to show a decided improvement in the pitching. Detroit has lacked in consistent pitching for a number of years and this department Is going to be given a lot of my attention. “As for training I have decided to do away with the double period system, morning and afternoon. I will have a real, bard, snappy practice once > ach ay. Also plenty of hitting practice, probabiy divided into two squads, the regulars and recruits. 1 have a few more ideas regarding training and other t. that I will put into practice, but am not ready at this time to discuss them.” Cobb’s efforts as manager of the “Bengals” will be watched with keen interest by fans throughout the country. For .fifteen years he has been the all-round star and whether managerial duties will I affect his playing will hold the attention : of all critics.
