Thirty-two . high school basket-ball teams In Hoosierdom are today resting upon their laurels after a strenuous session Friday and Saturday to pain the right to compete in the regional contests at Purdue and Indiana Universities Saturday. Technical High School of this city pained the right to play at Bloomington Saturday after staging two remarkable contests here last Friday and Saturday, one against Valley Mills and the other against Mannal. The Tech team was forced to the limit in both contests, winning from Valley Mills by four points aad Manual by five points. Tech’s changes to enter the finals seem rosy at this time, for Coaec Black's ath letes face the Vincennes five in the final contest of the Bloomington regional. However, the local lads will be forced j to the limit to beat the down-Staters. Vincennes Is touted as having a whirl- , wind five. Knowing this, Coach Black will keep his boys on the run this week In final preparation for the coming battle. SEVERAL TEAMS APPEAR STROM!. Picking the winners of the games at; the regional games is sure to be a hard i Job, although It is a foregone conclu- | sion that Bloomington, Franklin. Xlar- j tinsville. Bedford, Mun<'le and Central \ (Evansville* will enter the finals. Bloonu.] lngton, although forced to tue limit to : be3t the Smithville five In the sectional, is anticipating little trouble in downing the Columbus quintette In the regional, j Bedford was also forced to the limit in j the sectional, but figures high against' Russellville in the meet at Indiana “LV’ ; Franklin should have a pienic against Sullivan, while Martinsville will be forced to play bang-up basket-ball to defeat the Garfield team from Terre Haute. Muncie , is doped as a winner over Richmond. A\! for the Kidgeville-Scottsburg contest i there is some doubt as to a winner. Central of Evansville plays Sandusky and should go through with little or no trouble. So much for the contests at Blooming- I ton for the honor of competing In the finals at the Coliseum, March IS and 19/ Taking the northern part of the State as a nucleus for the Purdue turney one finds the picking rather hard. Anderson. Frankfort, Rochester and Jefferson of Lafayette stand out as the strongest teams in this section, and should go through with little or no trouble. The Anderson five seems to have struck Its stride again after a slump, which threatened to disturb the morale of the team. Coach Staggs’ five has Marion to meet in Its game at Lafayette. Frankfort, after downing the Lebanon team In the sectional, is doped as a strong contender for State honors, meeting Pine Villeee in the regional. Huntington should beat Kendallville. Jefferson appears strong against Monroe. Arcadia and Walton would have a nip and tuck battle. Rochester will likely face little opposition against Whiting. South Bend is doped better than Angola, while little can lie gathered about the Crawfordsville-Syracuse contest. Unless some unforseen things, such as the overturning of the dope bucket come about. Franklin. Anderson, Bloomington. Frankfort, Rochester, Martinsville, Huntington and Technical should lie strong contenders in this list, but advance dope points to one of the above eight teams as a possible winner. Two weeks more and the State will be lauding another State high school champion. Who will it be?

Independent Club’s Ring Show Is Great Success Financially, the benefit boxing show at tte Independent Athletic night was a big success. Otherwise well, it was Just as much of a success because the society -folk of Indianapolis got right down to earth with the hon-est-to-goodness boxing, fans and admitted after the 6how that boxing stand* tecond to nothing as a real sport for real people. Mrs. James Gordon Murdock, who looked after the financial end of the entertainment, announced today that the receipt* w ould run between *2 500 and $3,000 maybe a little better. Mrs Murdoc—kalso stated that she wag “Just tickled to death and fairly wild about boxing/' now that she ha* seen a real show conducted along proper linos. Beautiful maidens in beautiful gowns lined the Ringside Saturday night and clung desperately to their gentlemen escorts when one kid socked the other one a ripping rap on the beezer, but they always came up smiling In the long run and turned loose with plenty of applause. Th best thing tb# ladle* did was to pick the "cute little fellows" a* their favorites. The boy who stepped into the ring with the slickest hair and neatest features always got the big gob at support. However, tlie fair ones soon let It be known when they were not satisfied with the ring activities. Her.rv McI uff of the Independent Athletic Club Bl'-d Harold Aynesworth of Culver were the big favorites with- the ladies. They i are both ciever little bantams and the way they stepped around the ring made the fair attendants stack up alongside the men In the rooting line. Mcbuff won .over Jack Edwards of Marion and *>ynesworth defeated Max Epstein of the i. A. C. 4 In the other bouts Sidney Glick of the I. A.

Tech and Manual Each Get Three Mythical Positions

Griggs, Nipper and Conley of Championship Team Draw Coveted Places. THRILLING FINAL TILT BY WOODY. Now that the sectional tournament is over, there comes the hardest and most criticised task of all—the selection of an all-sectional team. In picking the team there are many Ihings to take into consideration, particularly the ability of the forward to score, of the guard to keep opponents from registering and of the center to make a fifty-fifty proposition of both. In the local sectional tourney, Griggs, H. Ilarmeson and Prout were, without any dispute, the best forward, center and guard, respectively, that were seen on the floor at the Coliseum. E. Ilarmeson of Manual and Nipper of Tech won places on the first mythical team for their ability to score consistently. Although Nipper was placed at guard by Coach Black he would fit In as a good scoring forward. What points H. Harmesotr did cot score for Manual his brother Emil did. Together the Ilarmeson brothers scored 70 per cent of Manual's points. McMullin was a world of strength to the Valley Mills team. He played a good passing and guarding game throughout the tournament. The lanky center also scored most of the Valley points. Boyd of Broad Ripple and Conlev of Tech displayed a wonderful brand of j

basket-ball at the back-guard position. Boyd. It will be remembered, was the guard that helped keep Tech from scoring from the field unlit one minute before the gun ending the first half was fired, when Nipper came through with a two-pointer from the center of the floor. PROUT FLASHY WITH DRIBBLE. Prout, the diminutive Manual flash of lightning, dribbled and passed through all the defense that be came up against. The little guard also came in for his share of the scoring. Sommers of Manual was the only Indianapolis player that was placed on the second team and, although he was ejected ' from games twice for commiting the maximum number of personal fouls, he played a whale of a game for Coach Morrisou at the backguard position. I.ugar of Valley Mills played one of | the headiest games of the tourney and i his consistent registering won him a po- I sltion ou the second team. I.ugar was j second high point man on the Valley team. Stivers, the West Newton forward, was j practically the whole Newton team and his deadly accuracy in hitting the basket 1 kept the West Newton team in the run- i ning until they reached the semi finals. Daubenspeck of Broad Ripple scored consistently and played a good floor game for the surburbau team. Morrison, also of Broad Ripple, was the center of all the plays and lie or Daubeuspeek were usually on the scori lng end. More tbqn two-fifths of the Ben Davis team's moves were centered around Ajrandt and Freizee, center and guard, Respectively. Freizee put up a great defensive game and was the guard that broke up, time after time, the Broad Ripple teamowrk that had much to do with holding the liipplers scoreless In the second half of the Ben Davis-Broad Ripple scrap. Brandt at the pivot position out-jumped his opponent on every toss Last, but not leaßt, comes R.

Green and White opened up In the second session. MANUAL FIVE STARTS STRONG. Manual forced the going in the first half of the final tilt, copping an early lead and staying out in front until neat; the close of the session. The pace was terrific in the early play. Just a few moments bifore the period closed, Adkins tied the count at 8-all for Tech with a field goal, then Griggs gave Tech the lead for the first time with another field goal and Nipper Increased the margin for the half to three points with a foul toss. It looked like Manual would again come to the front in the second session when Prout opened with a short-order field goal, but Nipper and Conley came back with another pair of Green and AVhite field markers and Tech advanced to a more advantageous position, where they stayed until the final whistle blew. Conley sank another field goal for Tech before the period closed, which made two eenter-of-the floor performances for the scrappy back-guard during the lust half. LOTS OF BOOM FOR ROOTERS. The final game not only decided the Indianapolis sectional championship, it also settled the question of whether or not Indianapolis can take care of a regulation Indiana high school tournament crowd. A mob of 7,000 fans, keyed to the highest pitch of excitement, witnessed the title tilt, and had more space in the Coliseum than they could take cure of. There were still seats to burn and nobody but the police, who did their order-keeping work iu fine style, thought of using the standing room. The Indianapolis high school tourna-

ment committee is now ready for the State games, and to prove that the move sending the tournament to Indianapolis was the best ever. Final game summary: Technical (19). Mannal (14).

Wisconsin and Illinois still have a chance to tie the Boilermakers of Lafayette, but they cannot beat them, and the hats of the basket world must come off to that fighting uy-State aggregation. The Purdue tossers closed their season Saturday night against lowa with a victory, sending their game count to eight won and four lost. Illinois dropped their game with Chicago, giving them a game count of seven won and four lost. Mich igau anil Wisconsin won Saturday night in their games with Ohio and Minnesota, respectively, gaining the same game count as Illinois. The acid test for the Illinois and Michigan teams will come tonight, when Ibey meet at Champaign in tbs final s<-rap for both quintettes. The result of this contest will give either team a tie for the conference lend, and a war that will rock the entire hardwood earth is predicted. Illinois seems to have slipped a bit during the closing hours of the race and there were many fans today who felt that the Suckers might take the short end of the score when Michigan swung into action. Wisconsin will be given the wellknown chance of a lifetime tomorrow night, when the Ohio State basketeers visit Madison for the final tilt of the season for both tennis. A tvln over the Buokeyes will give the Badgers a third corner of the leadership tie and It will take a man's sized upset to make the Wisconsin . combination lose. The Western Conference race this season has heen a thriller from start to finish and Hoosier teams have been right up there with the pace-setters from tie word go. At first, in fact up until the curtain started down. It looked ns though either Indiana or Illinois would take the gravy, but basket scenes can rte shifted in no-ord time and the Crlin- j son crowd nn< pushed out of the championship race Just as the Indiana sup porters were congratulating themselves on being with the winner.

IT’S ALL UP TO CARD HURLERS

NEW YORK, March 7— ‘‘Pitching Will be the dominant factor In the success or failure of the Cardinals this year.” Branch Rickey, manager of the St. Louis Nationals, made this prediction today in sizing up the chances of his team, by wire from Orange, Texas. ‘‘Give ua good pitching and 1 am confident we will be up there fighting for the pennant.” he continued. “Last season we made plenty of runs, but we couldn't keep the other fellows from scoring and couldn’t hold a lead because our pitchers were uncertain. “There are too many ‘lt's’ connected with our pitching staff this spring to make any predictions regarding a possible finish. For Instance —if Bill Doak's health holds out, if Ferd Schupp’s arm remains strong. If Jess Haines pitches consistently, if Bill Sherdel can jgo the nine Inning route and if Dixie Walker can continue in the National League the record he started at New Orleans we are away above and beydbd the dark horse class. “In early trials this spring Walker looks like he will be a big help to the club. He was a great pitcher in the Southern Association last season and there seems to be a good chance that he will come through this time, despite the fact that he had several trials-—with Cleveland and the Cubs. “We expect to be on feather-edge by the time the National League race coin-

mences, and we are training under Ideal conditions. The weather in Orange has been all that could be asked. We have a wonderful field, with grass Infield, a rarity in training camps, and with an excellent clubhouse right at the park. My team is not eating hotel or restaurant food, either. We have a training table and a chef to prepare good, wholesome food that Is fit for the athlete in training. This is a big factor, too. n At present I cannot say how the Cardinals will line up at the start Os the season, as Milton Stock, our regular third baseman, will not be able to start the season. I mnv play Rogers Hornsby, champion National League batter, at third base and try out a recruit at second. "We have a snappy looking young second baseman in George Topercer, a New York bov, who comes from the Syracuse International League Club. Topercer, by the way. wears eyeglasses, though they apparently do not handicap his playing. It would be rather an unusual thing to see a spectacled infielder win a regular berth on a major league team. “Lee Meadows, once a Cardinal pitcher, wears a fielder with them is a rarity. “I believe that Pittsburg and Boston have been strengthened for the coming race. New York, Cincinnati and Chicago, ns I see it, are pennant contenders, and the Brooklyns may repeat. But all of these cinbs are going to lose some games to the Cardinals, arffl don’t you forget it.'*

It was to be a brief affair between - two teams selected from the squad by Manager Hendricks, and instead of calling the outfits by the usual training camp names of Regulars and Yannigans, tha Tribe pilot Injected the spirit of Louisiana into the affair by using the name* Magnolias and Mocking Birds. The Tribe athletes were given a rest thl* morning and nearly all the players took treatments from Trainer Wig-gam. The hard practices of Saturday and Sunday bad some of the warriors begging for mercy lest night, so Hendricks called an armistice and permitted them to remain in bed this morning. Pitcher Sterling Stryker reached cirnp Sunday and took part in the Sabbath day workout. He is overweight and needs plenty of work, but he is ambitious and is sure to get in shape early. DIXON DUB TO REPORT TODAY. Catcher Dixon was due to report today. He has been working out with the New York Giants at San Antonio and was to be used behind the bat with one of the teams in the game today if he arrived in time. Owner Smith announced today that he would do no more coaxing in dealing with Tex Covington and Walter Rehg and would start negotiating at once with the view of obtaining men to fill their places. Both are good hitters, but their value to the team is diminished whan they fail to take advantage of spring training. Both grumbled last spring, and as a result they were not ready when tlie season opened and they delivered but few hits until the race was about three weeks gone. Attreau, the Chicago semi-pro, is showing up well around the first sack and If he Is able to hit fast pitching he will be given a thorough chance to fill Covington's shoes. G. E. Morrison, Canadian League outfielder, is a race horse and apparently a good hitter. He will make a strong bid for Rehg's job and Hendrick* means to give him careful attention. Os the rookie pitchers in camp Ettling and Bartlett are showing the best action. Jsl Sensation of Show jp
