Manual, Technical and Va’ley Mills emerged the winners this morning and went into the semi-finals this afternoon along with Ben Davis, which Jumped to a place among the first four by Its victory Friday over Broad Ripple. Manual was to meet Ben Davis at 2 oclock this afternoon and Tech was to play Valley Mill 9 at 3 oclock. Manual was tho only team In the morning contests today to have easy sailing. New Augusta pro-ed easy for the south side five. Tech was forced to a fast pace for Its win over West Newton and Valley Mills had to give Its best to defeat Brownsburg. which showed much better than was expected. As the tourney play gradually -icrrowed the field of contestants lhe enthusiasm of the followers of 7he various teams increased and it was a howling host that witnessed the struggles of the a. m. card. Manual and Tech rooters were doing their best to raise the roof ami said that if their voices held out they would continue to do their 6hare this afternoon. Mayor Lew Shank was discovered this morning between halves of the Valley Mills and Brownsburg game sitting up In the bandstand and he immediately came in for much attention. The rooters yelled for a speech and Lew responded, telling the high school students assembled that he was strong for sports, and what the “kids" wanted he was “for.’’ Manual and Tech are likely to come together in the final contest this evening at 8 o clock. If such a thing happens it will be a big night in local high school basket ball annals.

In its second appearance in the local sectional Manual had another easy game, winning hands down from New Augusta In the first game this morning by the ecore of 43 to 8 The Red and White team Jumped into the lead at the start and was on the long end of a 22 to i count at the end of the first half. in the final period Manual continued to pile up the total while the losers were helpless both on toe attack and defense. The final . period found New Augusta scoring oaly one point on Hollingsworth's toss’ from the foul line. Manual worked the ball down the floor In splendid fashion and counted a great number of the two-pointers from under the basket. Their opponents seemed unable to stop the rush of the south siders offensive drive. Floyd and Harmeson played well for the winners, the lattei counting nine times from the field before he left the game. He was the man that Manual fed the ball to under the basket and he was much too fast for the opposing guards. Manual was to take on Ben Davis this afternoon at 2 o’clock in the first of the semi-final games.

Ithth teams nse<J a five-man defense forma: ion and the points were hard to make. The first half euded, 4 to 4. In this period West Newton had more shots than Tech but fat ed to connect. Ir me final frame Tech outplayed the county team and deserved ihe victory. The local east side five used the short pass and at some stages seemed inclined to pass too much when close to the basket. On the other hand the losers tried long shot3 when they found the Tech defense a tough proposition to break through. Two of the longest shots of the tourney were made by Edwards of Newton and Nipper of Tech at tho start of the second half. After Tech had counted twice from the foul line Edwards threw a basket from about threefourth* the length of the floor tying the coant. A minute afterwards Nipper repeated Edwards’ shat and the Green and White rooters went wild. Nipper was the backbone of the local team and his allround play was outstanding.

Following the announcement ol the tournament Floyd Chafee, chatrmar of the tournament committee, was flimded with letters and telegrams from all parts of the country asking for the privilege of entering. However, that privilege has been reserved to the winners of titles in six sections of the United States. So (ar Invitations have been extended to four colleges the University of Idaho, winner of the Pacific coast and Northwestern Conference titles; North Carolina, who has Just won the Southern tournament at Atlanta, Ga., In which twenty-six of the lead' g fives of the PIRATE BATTKRYMJJN WOIMC.

NOTES AND GOSSIP OF N^T PLAY IN SECTIONAL HERE

The crowd filled the best coliseum seats almost an hour before game time. The fans took no chances, and got on the Job early. Wakefield of Ben Davis made all but four of his team's points In the Broad Ripple game Friday night. All during the play Friday, not tv man was removed from the game on four personal fouls. The air In the Coliseum was a bit chilly for spectators but just right for the players, as was evidenced by the snappy games Friday. The size of the crowd Friday afternoon smacked somewhat of the State final tourney. Tech, Manual and Shortridge all played in the afternoon thus accounting for the large crowd. Ragsdale, anew official around these parts, made hts debut Friday Id the Castleton-Broad Ripple game and showed the funs that he knew all about the game the teams were playing. Ragsdale hails from Sheridan as the high school coach, but his home la at Franklin. FOUND—Three persons for whom bas-ket-ball has no charms. Three girls were gathered around one of the heaters In the Coliseum, plavlng ukeleles and singing, apparently oblivious to all the basket-ball that was going on around them. Maybe they were Shortridge girls and were just singing to keep up their spirits. LOCAL SECTION "FIRSTS." First Game—Oaklandon vs. Ben Davis. F(rst Basket —Foul goal by Oaklandon.

Brooklyn Pilot Will Be Back to Try for 500-Mile Laurels. Ira VaO, the Brooklyn speed pilot, who flashed across the race horizon In 1916, today filed his entry for the teuth annual 500 mile race of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on May 30th. In making his entry Vail has not nominated a car, but whatever car he drlvt*# he will carry No. 9 in the Memorial Day event. Vsil finished sixth In the 1921 500 mile race, the only event of the year in which he competed. After the race he turned the car over to Frank Elliott, of I.os Angeles, who drove the Leach Special in a number of events on the Pacific Coast, finishing third at Fresno and Los Angeles and sixth at Santa Rosa Speedway. Back 1n 1916 when New York's Sheepshead Bay track was running several races a year, Vail finished second to Eddie Rickenbacker, in the May races. Ills showing was out of the ordinary as he had taken a stock Hudson, cut twentytwo inches out of the frame and drive shaft with an electric torch **i_jdiortened the car tip for speedway racing. In 1917 he was one of tho stars of tho Hudson factory’s team, winning a number of races. Although his car was several miles an hour slower than the winners In the iast Indianapolis race. Vail, by consistent .driving, managed to win sixth place, when tho “rail birds" had figured that he was out of the money before the start of the contest. Vail Is wintering sh Los Angeles and it will not be surprising to tho fans if he shows up at Indianapolis with a now car and ono that will inako the best cars Europe and America produce step to beat It. jjOWLING A. 11.

FOOfBALL

'By ARTHUR NORRIB.”

I The Valley Mills boys were more accurate In hliitir.g the basket and consequently made a large percentage of their attempts, while shortridge had a slight edge on the visitors in the number of attempts, but could not connect. The two most loyal rooters we saw at Friday's play were two Brownsburg firls seated Just behind the press box. hey were “loyalty and one would have to travel far rad wide to find two morl stanch supporters.- They even “refereed” the game, and they were the squarest little referees* w have seen In a long time. They played no favorites. Merle Flynn, Broad Ripple’s yell leader, pepped things up a bit for the Ripplettes and did some good work In this line. Shortrldge, Tech and Manual yell leaders all got together and led the whole crowd in a yell. In the second half the BrownsburgSliadeland game was tied most of the way. First one team would break It, only to have It Immediately tied up again by the other team; then they would battle for a few minutes more before anoi.het score was made. McConnell of Shadeland caged the I highest percentage of foul goals in the tourney Friday, making six out of eight. ! One thing noticeably absent from the tourney Friday were the balloons of last year. They were expected to make an appearance today. i Dixon, ShortrMge's long-shot artist, was sent Into the Valley Mills game In | the final minutes in ztn effort to win by j the long-range method, and although he l came perilously close several times, he Tailed to sliower himself with glory. The New Augusta Beech Grove game went four and one-half minutes before New Augusta counted. Manual scored eighteen point* In their game with Acton House of Atcon caged one from the foul line. Mannal’s first stringers looted odd cavorting on the floor between halves Friday. Manual used Rs subs In all but the last four minutes of the Acton game. There were substitutions galore In the Beech Grove-New Augusta game. The scorers nearly went cruzy. The gas from the heaters in the Coliseum got rather bad at times, but not enough to interfere with play. "Beaver of Castleton caged a beautiful one-handed shot from one side of the i floor yesterday. He didn't even look j where he was throwing.

Promoter and Coin' Necessary Now for Dempsey-Wills Tilt Stage About Set and Public Is Being Educated for Big Bout. ' NFAV YORK. March 4—Just as soon as sonic promoter steps up with enough coin in his pockets he can have national mid International rights to the DeiupseyWills fight. With Kid Norfolk out of the way. Wills stands "built" as the logical man for tho loser s end of a championship light. Jack Kearns has played his cards with Characteristic shrewdness He has smoked himself up another match and another half million. As far as the State athletic commission Is concerned, the Wills GROK FEATURES GIANT PLAY. RAN ANTONIO, Texas, March 4. — The work of Heinle Groh, playing third base In flic Gumt* for the first " time In nearly ton yours, woo tho texture of tile world’s champions’ first workout. Tlio Giant Infield, regarded as Hie fiu-tost- in b.icotuxll, was linod up with Groh ut third, Bancroft at short, Frisch at second and- Earl Smith, subbing for Kelly, on tlrsti Kelly lias not reported jot, being HI In California. Norfolk match was on the level. One of the deputy commissioners said today there was nothing to investigate. “Norfolk was knocked out by a typical Wills punch," ho said. Several writers came out bold enough to say they saw the punch, but no two agreed on what the blow was that sent Norfolk to the floor only to have him bound up full of life and vigor after the count of ten. One said it was a right to the Jaw, one said a right to the body, and the third said it was a left to the jaw. The fans, however, seem content to enter if on the list of one' of those things and get ready to battle with the scalpers for a place on the ring in Jersey next summer. The next step in the “building process," is the scattering of the propaganda that Dempsey will be really risking his title against tho big colored boxer. Already it is creeping out. Some are saying it was a good thing Dempsy wasn't in the ring the other night, Dempsy had better run to Europe, and other silly things. Tho fight is as good as made right now. If It wonldn't be such a play Into the hands of the reformers, Jack Kearns could tell right now when and where the fight is going to be held, how much Wills is to get and no doubt he could f;o far enough to announce the third man n the ring. After Governor Edwards had announced that he saw no reason why New Jersey could not put on the bout if the public wanted it, the State boxing commission came out with a statement that the public did not w-aut the bout. This looks ilk© the first of the paper fights necessary for the st-ain-up. fjQILLIARDS | HAGENLACHER LOOMS AS BILLIARD STAR NEW YORK, March 4.—Eric vHageplaeher, balkline billiard champion of Germany, stands forth today in the light of a dangerous contender for the world’s title as a result of his overwhelming defeat of Albert Cutler.
