By CHARLIE LOGAN. Never before has Indiana been enriched with the wealth of basket ball material like In the season Just fading ont, yet never before has the task of selecting an ■ll-State combination been as easy as It is this trip. Wabash. Purdue. Indiana. De Pauw and Butler turned out teams during the season just slipping Into the background that probably would stack up with the best teams in the United States. Meetings between these clubs showed that there was mightly little difference between them and results of their games leaves the State championship argument ■bout as clear as the muddiest puddle on the globe. However, if one would go miles and miles around to figure the result would show Coach Pete Vangahn's Wabash crew holding a slight edge over ■ll others, but the edge Is a mighty slim one. Notre Dame delivered a team that did not enjoy the sensational seasons of the other teams mentioned, but there were two men on the club, Mehre and McDermott, who are not to be passed up in making the mythical selections. But in the line-ups of all these great combinations so evenly matched, the bidders for all-State honors have laid their claims on such sound foundations that one can hardly make a mistake when Starting out to gather the players who would make the best possible team were they put under one head. WABASH GETS TWO FORWARDS. ‘ltfnake” Goldsberry and “Cat” Adams of xVabash and “Fuzz” Cannon of De Pauw are, we might say, without opposition in the first team forward ranks. Goldsberry was the scoring life of the Wabash team from the start to the fin lsh of the season and he would rate as the best forward In all Hooslerdom. Off nights for Goldsberry were not passed out. The former all-Amerh an high school boy was worth his weight in gold •11 the time and he never failed to do his share when Wabash needed points. Adams probably was as valuable to the Wabash team as was Goldsberry. although he has not been given the publiccredit. “Cat” Is chained lightning when he gets out on a basket fioor, and he knows bow to use his speed, either on defense or offense. A peep at the Wabash record sheet for the season will show that Adams has donated his quota of the baskets every game. Goldsberry was the. long-shot man of the Wabash club, and Adams was t.ielr best bet from short range. “Goldie” liked to take his shots from near the center of the door, on the side, but “Cat" bad a favorite trick of dribbling in and caging .’em from under the loop. Adams was one of the best dribblers In the State. The smoothest, coolest and headiest forward in Indiana was Cannon of De Pauw, who also packed a world ot fight in his courageous heart. It was Caniiou who brought De Pauw a win over Wabash in their meeting at Greencastle last week. He not only led the field In Scoring, but he outscor.nl the entire Wabash club in the second half of the game and showed a fighting spirit that put the old stuff in his teu.umht.-~ aft r they had been set back by the loss of Bobby Gipson, through an accident which occurred in the opening moment of play. Cannon is a clean-cut athlete and he gets around the basket court with the grace and ease of a past master at dancing. He seldom shows in any great prominence as a mixer, but that is because he knows how to do things without exerting himself to any great extent. He always figures on the harder work ahead, and when this hard work comes it always finds him ready. No better proof of this can be given than his work against Wabash the last time. In this scrap he worked until it seemed as though he would drop to the floor from sheer exhaustion at any moment, but when he was carried from the floor with a wrenched knee, late in the second half, a moment's nursing and rest in the dressing room brought him back to shape and he hobbled out to finish the battle without slowiug up one whit. Cannon’s start was a little late this Beason, but he soon made up for lost time. Besides being a great floor man, “Fuzz” will take - are of him-elf In competition with any goal-getters In Indiana. There Is no question about the centers. Dean of Indiana and Mehre of Mendenhall Chosen De Pauw Captain for Next Year’s Netters GREENCASTI.E, Ind.. March B. “Mendy” Murray Mendenhall, star floor guard of the Da Pauw basket-ball team, was elected captain for the 1921-ltKfd Tiger court athletes at a meeting of this year’s squad held yesterday In the office of Coach Buss. This Is “Mendy's” second year with the Old Gold basket squad, and critics are agreed that he Is one of the best floor guards in Hooslerdom, If not the Middle West. Not only is he recognized and liked as a basket-ball player, but •Iso as a man and student of De Pauw. Throughout the last season Mendenhall played a fast, consistent game. In of fensive as well as defensive play the Tiger floor guard has au excellent resold. During the Dst season he scored fifty-three field goals or lufi points, mak lng the larfgest number of points In several contests. lie was the second highest man In scoring. Cannon being first. The new captain-elect Is a product of the West Newton high school. It was with the basketeers of this school that ho first played and received his early training. In 191S he entered Butler College and became a member of the bas-ket-ball squad of that school. Since the fall of 1919, however, he has attended De Pauw. He Is classified us a sophomore in the institution. Spring Sports Now Hold Center of Butler Stage With the close of one of the most successful basket season in the history of the school, spring sports now occupy undivided sttention at Butler and Coach Page will devote all of his time to the task of turning out baseball, track and tennis teams that will come up to the high standard set by this year's Blue and White football and basket-ball aggregations. The baseball men have been working out for several weeks, and already the Blue and White mentor has got something of a line on his material. Along with Captain Harry Alexander, practically all members of last year’s nine are back in school, and In addition there are a number of freshmen trying out whose work so far has been so impressive that they bid fair to supplant some of last year’s regulars. Track prospects also look roßy, for with the galaxy of material at Page’s disposal be should develop a well-round-ed squad that will win points in any event. Tennis will start as soon as the courts can be whipped Into shape. Although the absence of Ex-Captain Koehler will be keenly felt in this sport. Johnnie Wamsley is back in school and he is regarded as one of the best in Hooalet college circles.

Notre Dame were the class of the field. Both are good jumpers, although Mehre Is a forward by trade, and they showed deadly atcuracy when firing at the Caskets. Mehre was forward on the All State high school five of 1911, when a member of the Huntington team. He is an exceptionally big fellow, but has speed to burn and Is mighty clever on the floor. Dean has been responsible for a lot of Indtaua's sucoess. Timely field goals and work at the foul line are his chief stocks in trade. He also is bigger than the ordinary bnsketeer, but his speed and agility enable him to got around the fioor to stack up like a million dollars either ou defense or offense. Greatest among the guards, perhaps greatest among the basket men of all Hooslerdom, is little Don White of l’urdne University. There Is no need of saying anything about White's play here, because anybody who Is interested in basket-ball knows Don and knows what be has done. He has been of more value to his team than any other man in the State. He Is the George Gipp of basketball, and when Pnrdue loses him one of the most w onderful basketeers of all time will pass out of the collegiate ranks of Hooslerdom. Miller of Purdue also Is a player deserving of unlimited praise. Last year an All-Conference guard. Miller may lose his position this time because he played for the honor of his team, not for himself. Before White was switched to forward late In the season he often left Miller as the sole attendant of the Purdue goal because he had to get out and do the Purdue scoring, as well us guarding This put Miller In a sorry fix and often made him pull plays that looked to some like “borers.’’ Time and again Miller ran Into n pair of shifty forwards who would pass down to him, then wheu he went out to meet them and made an effort to break up their play one of them would slip through for point*. If Purdue had hid better forwards and W kite had been in a position to pay more attention to his guarding, then Miller would not have been forced to use this style of play and his 19.11 career would have been much more brilliant than it has been, and today there would be no question as to who rates the back guard job on the mythical conference five. BURNS ANOTHER CLEVER GUARD. Ranking right up there with White and Miller of Purdue in the guarding work is Capt. “Butch" Burns of Wabash. It has often been said that Coach Vaughan and Burns were responsible for the success of the Wabash team, and that about tits the situation. Bums is not one of the flashy sort. He is Just a steady old war-horse who can be depended upon at ail times and woo know* how to get in and balance his team when things are n..t going just right. Vaughan was the brains of the organization but when the team went on the floor ne handed the burden to Burns, and could rest assured tha f things would be taken care of. Hooker of Butler, McDermott of Notre Dame and De ilority of Indiana are the choice forwards for the second team Every one of these nn u is a player of proven ability and deserving of much praise, but they come just a notch behind the three who have been chosen on the first team. Without Hooker Butler’s team probably would have been nothing to boast of this season, and the same may be said for McDermott, but tbes ■layers were bidding against some of the best in the country wheu they went after the State laurels. ( offing of Purdue, and Ecklund of Valparaiso, are the other centers on the second team. Both have played the position only during the year and have shown that they could deliver the goods. Besides being good pivot men. (offing and Ecklund are wizards at covering the floor and he can get plenty of points. Gipson, lie Pauw forward, is used as guard on the second team because he does more guarding than anything else. Although a good shot, “Gippie" is even better as a guard, and the rest of the defensive men In the State had a hard time showing better than him. Gipson is more of the Doc White type than any other player In Indiana. Mendenhall of De Pauw Is another guard on the second team. The defensive work of this man has also featured in every De Pauw game. He is also a good goal shot, especially from the distance. Grater, the Wabash man. Is a guard ranking In the seine high class with Gipson and Meudeuhall.

TALKING TRADE. BOSTON, Mass., March 8. —Suggestion of a swap of Stuffy Mclnnis, first baseman of the Red Sox, for Joe Judge, first sacker of the Washington Senators, and assurance that Derrill Pratt, obtained from New York, would be at second base for the Ited Sox this season, were contained in word from the Boston team, en route to the spring training camp Monday. GOLDIE LOOKS GOOD. SAN ANTONIO, Texas, March S. —Manager McGraw aud the Giant coaches are enthusiastic over the form shown by Goldie Rapp, the American Association fielder. Rapp is being tried at third base with Frisch on second. Dave Bancroft arrived yesterday, but was not well enough to do any hard work. SAME OLD BABE. SHREVEPORT, La., March B.—“ Babe” Ruth signalized his return ,o harness for 3921 by hammering the ball over the fence eleven times at the tra\niug park here Monday. The big New York American League slugger hit nine balls over ! the fence in fungo batting and added a copule more in a six ,unlug practice game. LANDIS’ DECISION. CHICAGO, March B.—Players Miller and Brottem, formerly of the Little Rock Clb, who had been claimed by both Washington and Ilttsburgh, were awarded to the Senators In a decision by Judge I K. M. Laudts. Ready With Surprise With “Hobe” Barnttm and a number of other former high school and college j stars in the line-up, the Pottawattaml j basket tossers feel sure that they will : give the South Side Turners a run for their money on the Turner floor tomorrow night. The “Potts” are ready to admit that it will be a real job to keep Hennessey and Stevens from running wild, but they plan to be there with a little surprise party when the starting whistle blows. A. B. C. PROGRESS. BUFFALO, N. Y.. March B.—Rolling a total of 2,911, the Northern Paper mils five-man team of Green Bay, Wls., went Into first place In the A. fe. C. tournament hore last night. This forced the j Mlneralites of Chicago into second place, j with the Cable Piano team of Detroit third and the Wade Drugs of Sandusky, ; Ohio, fourth. In the two-man event, B. Weygand and B. Paulson of Erie, Pa., went Into first j place with 1,260 pins. There was no I change in the standing of the othei events.

Blues Need Catcher and Short Fielder to Get in Running Seventeen Pitchers Working for Knabe, but Things Also Look Doubtful Here. TIGHT PURSE STRINGS By JACK HELLMAN. Sports Editor Kansas City Post. KANSAS CITY. March B.—Unless the Blues develop a catcher and short fielder worthy the name during the training and exhibition siege in the Southwest or acquire one from the big show, hopes for a one-two three finish are no more roseate than last year when the men of Knabe brought up the rear In October. The (,'ubs have promised to drop off a shortfielder when the Bruins exhibit here for two cays In April. It may be a youth who answers to the name of Leathers, late of the Virginia League/ Again, some one else might serve the purpose. The outright sale of Catcher Ed Sweeney left the Kaws with but one catcher, Johnny Brook, and you can wager your bottom dollar he won’t be here when the bell rings. He has a fine pegging arm and a surfeit of pep, but that lets him out. The Blues’ owner Informed the writer a short time ago that Art Wilson would Join the receiving corps if the Boston Braves were successful in securing waivers on him. A few days ago it was said the deal fell through, due to the fact that the Boston club could not get him out of the league. A day or two later an announcement out of Columbus was to the effect that Wilson had been acquired through a cash deal. GIANTS MAT SHIP CATCHER. Apparently the Blue purse strings have drawn instead of loosened as we have been deluded Into believing. The Giants are willing to part with a pair of receivers. Either Ilenline or Gaston or both will be shipped when the season opens, it is said. The Blues could possibly land one If they bid high enough. But that seems to be the fly in the ointment. They’ll go so fur and then pull In the bait. Boss Knabe bas seventeen pitchers working out at Monroe, La., and If six regulars are not picked from that ensemble, a lot of scouting will hive been In vain. Red Ames, Paul Carter, Otis Lambeth and Gus Bono are almost certain of being given regular employment. Horstman must show more than he did last yoar or take to a lower league. It Is not likely the Blues will temporize with him as long this year, as was the case last. “Hossle’a” trouble seems to be with his control. He Is perfect to a fault. Ills alley balls are "honey” to the opposing stickers. George Cochran’s return will bolster the Inner works considerably. He 1* a natural .300 hitter and a fine defensive performer. Brief will be buck at first, Artie Butler at second and the hewcomer around the short turn. Good and Zwilling are go-getters of the upper strata in the field and murderous maulers The swnp of Ward Miller for Pitcher Lambeth left open the berth in right field that it was hoped would be tenanted by Becker’s return The Blues open tho season at home with the Millers the party of the second part. Exhibition games with the Reds. Cubs and Shano Collins' White Sox Goofs will precede the inaugural.

EVERS EXPECTS BANG-UP RACE

NEW YORK, March B.—“Um looking for a bang-up pennant race and expect to see the Cubs tu the thick of it from the start.” This snappy prediction regarding the coming National League scramble w\:h received today front Johnny Evers, who is in sunny Pasadena with his Bruins. Evers doesn't mince words nor make predictions unless he feels sure of his ground.

WARMING UP with the TRIBE

CROWLEY. La., March B.— The Indiana’ home while In Crowley reminds the former service men on the ball club of training camp barracks. They are housed in an annex to the Hotel Egan and the rooms are all on tho same floor, the second. A spacious hallway Is bein£ used for players' meetings and “Doc Wlggam's hospital for lame arms, Charley horses, wry necks and other training camp Ills. Manager Hendricks Is on the same floor with the athletes and there lsD't a chance for them to oversleep. The place la not provided with fire escapes, but the athletes see no dunger In that. In case of a blaze they can put on their sliding pads and Jump out the windows. Members of the party not provided with sliding pads can take pillows off the beds and do an Annette Kellerman. Though unaccustomed to such events, the players went through with the gumbo banquet reception given by the Dailies' Aid Society of the Methodist Church In fine style. The reception was opened with a prayer and closed with a song. Talks were made by a number of Crowley's leading citizens and by Owuei Smith, Manager Hendricks and the Indianapolis newspaper men with the party. The speech making was quite a task for the Hoosiers, but they went over the top without a mlaplay. However, following the evening s entertainment. Owner Smith announced that he was here on a vacation and that hts stump schedule was a closed event. He says he Is a back porch speaker. On the Indians' long Journey here a short stop was made at Mobile, where.it was learned that the wife of Herman Bronkle had died the day previous. Bronkle formerly was the star third baseman of the Hoosiers and Is signed to manage the Mobile club of the Southern Association the coming season. Leaving out the mirthful stuff, however, the hospitality here Is of the historic Southern brand. Secretary Moore of phe Chamber of Commerce stands ready always to meet evejy want of the ball players aud other visitors. Numerous receptions, movie entertainment and auto rides are being given In honor of the players. The ball park could be INDIANA LOSES FINAL CONTEST Gophers Come From Behind to Cop—Michigan Ties Purdue for Lead. Indiana dumped Its chances of finishing ahead of Illinois In the conference basket-ball race last night by bowing to the Minnesota team at Bloomington, while Michigan was going into n tie for first place with Purdue by a victory over the Suckers Although Indluna was lending the Gophers at half time, 13 to 10, the

i closer In, but the players realize that everything can’t be roses at a spring training camp and they are strong for Crowley. The weather here is the Indiana brand of June. This Is the land of the mocking bird nnd the magnolia. As one of the Crowley promineuts put It the night of the first baseball reception here, “this Is the land where the mocking bird sings the whole year round and the sweet magnolia blooms constantly Its precious fragrance in splendid harmony to the tuneful voice of that beautiful bird.” Wasn't that a fair 'nough description ? Crowley, the “Klee City of America," was settled way back when the brawny Irish section bands were laying tracks and driving spikes. Pat Crowley, after W’hom this city Is named, was foreman of a section gang when the Southern i’aeifle was building through tills country. He took a liking to this locality, quit the section gang and settled here. Two shacks erected by Pat marked the beginning of Crowley, now grown to a thriving city of 0,000 and tnora Pat evidently saw the possibilities of a railway center here, and he was not far off if that was his calculation, because three railroads now skirt the town, the Southern Pacific, Gulf Coast Lines aud Texas Pacific. Crowley is not an all-South town by any means. The residents hall from many parts of the country and the negro population is small compared with other sections of Dixieland. The Crowley boosters do not ask much as a return for their hospitality, merely requesting that visitors say a good word for Crowley and to EAT MORE RICE. The police force consists of four officers, two on at day and two at nlglit. They do not dress In “copper" blue, bit. wear the clothes of the movie sheriff brand. The "key" to the city was presented to the ball players at the reception the fltst night here, but to date they have been unable to find what is locked up. Northmen spurted in the last eight minutes of the contest aud won a thrilling battle. 29 to 23 This was Indiana’s final game of the conference, giving them n final standing of six games won and five lost. Minnesota also finishes in the same uotch with Indiana As u fitting climax to Captain Dean’s basket rirwr at Indlann, tho lanky center covered himself with glorv In defeat He raced the floor like a streak of lightning nnd caged six field goals, besides landing five tosses from the foul line. With Indiana breezing along In great style near the end of the second session. SchJol! was injected Into the Gopher line up and the tall Swede raged two shots, followed by a like number front Osh. This tied the score The Gophers then forged to the front and remained there for the remainder of the contest. Fietw.-en the halves twenty-two gold football watch fobs wiena presented to the members of the football team of last reason bv the Hthietir association The presentation speech was made by Willis | CovaJ. Michigan was forced to battle hard to tase the decision from Illinois. The Wolverines drew first blood from the Sm k [era nnd maintained a lead throughout t * contest. The final score was 28 to 26, with Michigan leading at half time. It to 12. A triple tie for the championship Is likely, for Wisconsin Is given better than an even chance of defeating Ohio State tonight. Such an event would put Wisconsin In a tie with Purdue and Michigan for the leadership. Big Ten Standing Won. liO*.t, Pet.

INDIANS SHOW FLASHY PLAYS IN FIRST GAME Infielders Open Throttle With Brilliant Work—Dixon Delayed Again. MEET CARDS THURSDAY BY EDDIE ASH, Dally Times Sports Editor. CROWLEY, La., March B.—The workout program was resumed today in the spring camp of the Indians and the Infielders were given special attention by Manager Hendricks. The Hoosiers are to be sent against the St. Louis Cardinals here Thursday and the Tribe boss is anxious thut his team stack up in a creditable manner. He is becoming enthusiastic over the work of Attreau at first base and predicts the Chicago semipro will make good if he is able to solve fast pitching. Sicking at second, Schreiber at short and Baird at third opened the speed throttle in the practice this morning and they treated the rail birds to a demonstration of big league fielding. The w ork of Sicking at second apparently is going to prove a tonic to Schreiber at short and Hoosler fans are likely to see a muchly Improved Hank wheu the squad returns North. As for Doug Buird at third, he already has ntude good. GIS I.LTZKE GOING BIG. However, despite the tine work being shown by these infielders, there is another candidate who threatens to keep everybody stepping to hold their jobs. He is Gus Lutzke, former Brewer, who is hitting the ball hard and showing plenty of Infield ability. Os the new outfielders, Kinsella and Morrison continue to lead the pack. The latter possesses a shotgun arm and gets the ball back to the infield much in the manner of A1 Wickland, who led the American Association in assists for outfielders when a member of the Indians. Catcher Gossett is striving to Improvs his hitting and 1f he is successful tho other Tribe backstops won’t have much to do. Catcher Dixon Is slated for tho second string wind pad Job aud he will be in camp Wednesday. He was to have reported Monday, but a wire from the Giant officials at San Antonio requested that he be left there two additional days. Manager Hendricks Interprets this as a sign that Dixon has been showing something worth while and he Is anxious to get a glimpse of the youth in action. In the opening game of the soring training season the Magnolias defeated the Mocking Birds Monday, 9 to 8. The hits were about evenly divided, but the fielding of the Magnolias was superb and they were easily superior in the seven Innings of action. Stryker and Downey burled for the winners and Kttllng and Vovles for the loser*. A high wind helped out long drives and distance clouts were frequent. The game was witnessed by an enthusiastic crowd and flashy plays drew plenty of applause. Catcher A J. Smith proved he was accustomed to gulf winds, because he ran over an expanse if territory to gather In wind-blown foe’s The feature f lay, however, was contributed by Ralph Shlnners who made a mid-season shoestring catch of a low liner that brought the fans

CENTRE DROPS HARVARD. CAMBRIDGE, Mass.. March B.—The Centre College basket-ball team derived a certain amount of revenge from Harvard for its defeat In football lat season by winning a basket-ball contest from the Crimson five here tonight, 41 to 36. The first half ended 23 to IT in favor of the Kentuckians. George Mayer, who played center for the Kentuckians, was tb° star of the contest, counting twenty-one points. “Bo” McMillan, captain of the Centre football last season, played forward and got two goals from the field.

WABASH WOULD SCRAP DE PAUW IN TITLE TILT Coach Vaughan Suggests Third Game to Be Played Here March 17. BUSS SANCTIONS IDEA Plans are on foot for the staging of a State title basket-ball contest between Wabash and DePauw here March 17. Coach Pete Vaughan of Wabash was in Indianapolis yesterday to confer with Guernsey Van Riper, chairman of the DePauw alumni athletic committee, looking forward to a third contest between the two teams. It is Vaughan’s suggestion that the, contest be played at the Coliseum the night before the battle for the State high school finals so that the high school players will have the advantage of seeing a title college tilt. Coach E. C. Buss of DePauw, over the telephone, said today he was heartily in favor of a third contest with Wabash at Indianapolis if the De Pauw faculty sanctions such a contest. “I would gladly play Wabash so that a clear title for the State championship could be derived. I am especially anxious to play Wabash, for I think the De Pauw team is stronger than Wabash. However, with Gipson on the injured list and Bills recovering from a severe attack of mumps, I would be handicapped In placing a representative team on the floor. We beat Wabash with two substitutes in the line-up in the battle at Greencastle last week, but I have my doubts whether it could be done again. If the faculty sanctions the contest I will do all In my power to have my team ready for the contest." With the plans hanging fire for the third battle Coach Busse has kept hi a athletes in training. Each day the team is given a short work-out, waiting for ■ final decision on the playing of the contest. Both De Pauw and Wabash can lay claim to the State title, for each team has won one contest from the other. The first contest was landed by Wabash, 20 to 19. while the second battle came De Pauw's way, 28 to 27. According to Pete Vaughan, Wabash stands ready to play De Pauw, which means some sort of a decision will be reached by the De Panw authorities In a short time. Such a contest at the Coliseum would be a big drawing card for Indianapolis and would serve as a marked event for the opening of the first high school finals ever held in Indianapolis. Tho fact that the Coliseum floor Is much smaller than either the DePauw or Wabash gym might work a handicap to both teams, but such a handicap would be mutual.
