By HEZE CLARK. tVhlle Franklin, for the third time, won the State high school basket-ball championship St was interesting to note that the finals of the eleventh annual tourney brought together teams that had some of the best players ever seen In Hoosler prep school line-ups. Garfield of Terre Haute was the •‘dark horse" team of the tourney and reached the ana's at the Coliseum only to be halted by Franklin, 2ft to 15, In a bitterly fought game. Garfield showed poorly in defeating Whiting, and the fans did not believe th© team from Terre Haute had a chance. Then came the surprise defeats by Garfield over Fishers and Marion. Garfield's success was due first to the playing of the wonderful athlete Wheeler, at center; second, the Terre Haute team owes its success to its splendid fighting spirit; third, but not least, Garfield's success was due to the fact every one of its opponents underestimated the class of basket-ball that the Terre Haute quintet was capable of playing. Whiting. Fishers and Marion all seemed off of edge when they met Garfield, evidently saving the "keyedup” stuff for the future game they never got a chance to play. Even the Champion Franklin squad seemed to be surprised when Garfield time and again got into the lead, but Franklin always had the wonderful offensive combination of Vandiver and Gant, and the defensive pair of Williams and King to give Coach Wagner's team the lead over its opponent. Garfield fooled all the critics and a lot of basketball teams, and credit must be given the plucky Terre Haute athletes. In selecting an All-State high school team onlv plavers on the sixteen teams that reached the State finals tourney were cons’dered. Some of the quints were not as strong as a number of teams that did not win in the sectional. Sbelbyville is a notable example of this. Shelbjwille has a far beter team than most of the sixteen teams that reached the finals, but Shelbyville was halted In the district tourney by Franklin, the state champions. There can be no doubt about the two best forwards in the State. These two are Vandlvler and Gant of Franklin. They are the greatest offensive pair ever seen on one team In the history of high school basket-ball. Wampler of Vincennes am’ Lawson of Marion were the next best forwards. In selecting an All-State team only the work of the players during the finals of the State tourney is considered as it would be almost Impossible to check on the work of these men during the entire season. While Wheeler of Garfield is without question one of the beet basket-ball men of the tourney there is one player whose work stamps him not only as the best man on any team in the tourney, but probably the best basket-ball player ever seen on an Indiana high school team. That man is Vandivier of Franklin. This athlete Is a sure basket shot. He has size, speed and a wonderful knowledge of the game. His passing surpasses any other player's w-ork In that department and he Is without question the best defensive forward that ever played high school basket-ball. Above ail he is a leader and It was due to his leadership that the Franklin team still held Its championship at the end of the tourney. Seme of the best center men ever seen on high school teams were among the players who performed on the teams at the Coliseum. Wheeler, the Garfield star

Umpire—Mows. whose playing carried his team through to the final game of the tourney, and whose scoring ability always made the T#rre Haute team dangerous to the Franklin five until the last ten minutes of the final game, when the goal shooting of Vandivler, Gant and Fridule broke tbe Garfield defense, was the best pivot manHe is given all-State. Mansfield of Anderson was the second best center, and Friddle of Franklin was third. Logan of Bloomington Is a great player and ranks right alongside the three mentioned. Theobald, the Vincennes center, is unamed as a forward on the third all-State team. Doss vl Central High School of Evansville was about the whole team, but like Harmeson of Manual, he was closely covered much of the time. Cezar, the Bedford pivot man. showed good against Atwood, outplaying Harry Sutherlln, the star of thßt team. Cezar failed to score a field goal against Franklin. Nessell, the big Marion center, is a good man, but in the Garfield game he was completely outplayed by Wheeler. After all the most important part of a basket-ball team is the defense. The play of two men stood out far ahead of not only *helr team mates, but even that of the best of nlayers on other teams In the defensive department of the game. Sponsier, *he Bloomington back guard, not only 1s wonderful defensive man, but when his teammates are covered he can receive a pass and take a long shot at the basket. He scored against Vincennes when his team needed the points. Twice he caged field goals against Franklin. Richter, the Bedford floor guard, was not only the fastest defensive man at covering the floor, bat his goal shooting ability proves him to be of All-State caliber. Franklin's defensive combination. King and Williams, ranks second as the best pair of guards In the tourney. King is a big powerful back guard and Williams Is a whirlwind at covering the floor. Ballard of Franklin Is a better goal shot than Williams, but when the real defensive iuff was needed it was King and Williams that kept the champions safe. The play of Torr and Ganlt, guards, did much 4o keep Garfield In the race for the championship. Ylgus of Marion Is a good goal shot and a wonderful fast guard. He is one of the best men in the State. Jones, the big back guard of Vincennes, showed well until the Bloomington game, when Krueger slipped behind him for close-np shots. M. Downey of Cutler played a wonderful game against Vincennes.

NOTES AND GOSSIP OF WIND-UP DAY IN STATE BASKET MEET

Hello, Franklin! Hello, Franklin! Franklin, we say hello! After giving the packed Franklin rooters' section the once over. Shorty Morrison remarked that a guy with n coupie of skeleton keys sure could get a good haul about that time in the Johnson County metropolis. Coach Wagner's annonneement of his coaching school at Franklin this summer was the topic of much conversation among team directors present for the tournament. It was the consensus of opinion that if "Griz” will agree to go beyond the fundamentals of the net game and really show "how he does It" the success of the school is assured as far as attendance Is concerned. Seven-column "screamer” headline In a Saturday morning paper said: “Seveu Teams Left In State Basket-ball Tourney"’ While this highly Important news earn© as a distinct shock to Ihe general public (who probably expected thirty-live or forty to still be in the running Saturday morning), it was undoubtedly highly gratifying to the schedule committee to see how their plans were working out. What do yell leaders do in the summer time? Mingle with the wild flowers, perhaps. There were 637 points scored in the State meet. The highest score made by any team was 40, which Bedford made against Atwood's It. The lowest seofe was made by Manual, 7. against Bloom ington's 21. Average number of points scored per game. 41. Total points scored in the tournament by Franklin (four games). 118, against 03 by their opponents. Total points scored by Garfield, the runners up, 107, against 71 for their opponents. Immediately after the game Saturday night a telegram was dispatched to the station agent at Franklin informing him of the result. The agent immediately called up the night watchman nt the ice plant, the only other person in town, ami told the glad news. Thus ail Franklin knew Hbout it, for the other Inhabitants saw it happen. Well bet a Coney Island against an Eskimo pie the Franklin five could double the score, and then some, oei tile Yale team that performed here this season.

BILLIARDS

The Idfe Saver Company opened up Its heart before tho semi-final game Saturday afternoon and dished out "Savers" to each person admitted to tha games. After all tho upsets of the morning's play they must have figured that the crowds needed life savers to prevent a general collapse. The management of the tourney is to be congratulated upon the efficient manner In which tho business of the tournament was conducted. Considering the size of the crowds and the magnitude of the undertaking net fans are impressed with the fact that tho committee of the local high schools knows how to put over a tournament. Commendation is due to the large group of teachers who gave freely of their time and energy to help make the tournament a success. It was necessary for many of them to forego the pleasure of seeing the games iu order that the crowd might be handled with the utmost efficiency. To such willing workers as these the tournament owes its success. The team with tho widest reputation —Vincennes. The team with the flghtenest spirit— Garfield. The beam with the handsomest players —Cutler. The team with the cleanest players— Bloomington. The team with the smallest score— Manual. The team with tho longest Journey— Whiting. The team with tho greatest surprise— Marlon. The team with tho hardest schedule— Evansville. The team from the smallest town— Fishers. The team with the hardest luck—Rushville. The team with tho oddest names—Bedford. The team with tho worst defeat—Atwood. The team with tho greatest disappointment—Anderson. The team with tho hardest workers— Frankfort. The team doped for tho second round —Goshen. THE FINEST HIGH SCHOOL TEAM IN THE COUNTRY—FRANKLIN. Opportunity knocks but once. In the Marion-Rushville game Fhillips of ltushvllle had a golden opportunity to tie tho score in the closing minutes with a foul goal, but missed by inches. Had he tied the score there might have been a different story to tell of tho tournament.

Bloomington played th* whole Aral half of tho Rioomington-Franklln game without committing a foul of any kind. This was something no other team equalled. The Bloomington players had a wholesome respect for the accurate foul shooting of VandlTler. It Is a shame that the Shelbvllle coach has to sit on the sidelines and see teams play In tho tourney that bis team has beaten decisively one or two tirnus during tho season. Shelbyvlllo happens (o be in the Franklin section, so woe Is theirs. Perhaps it will boa different story next year. Twice during Saturday's play Wheeler of Garfield was in the act of pitching a foul goal when the gun cracked. He didn't budge an Inch, which showed fine nervous control. Modlln, one of Garfield’s best substitutes was called to Marlon Saturday afternoon to attend ihe funeral of bis grandmother. The Garfield team waa crippled somewhat by the loss of such a good sub. He showed up well In earlier games. Following tho close of the tournament Sanirdav night, Jones, the back guard of Vincennes, was awarded The Glmbel medal for showing the best mental attitude as well as being tbe most valuable man to his team. Five players in addition to Jones were considered before making the award. They were Stewart of Rushville, Downey of Cutler, Gant of Franklin, Harmeson of Manual and Cezar of Bedford. Each player on tha Franklin team was swarded a bronze championship medal and the school the championship trophy. Governor McCray niatje tbe presentation of tho Gitubcl medal to Jones. The upsets in Saturday's games at the Coliseum were unparalleled lu tourney play of tiie past. Even those "aport experts,” who were successful in picking every winner in the opening round, folded their dope sheets, and silently stole away from tho amphi theater. Garfield goes to tho finals In ths State tourney and Wiley, the other Terre Haute school loses a game to Shortrldge. How’s that for a contrast? If they ever stnrt giving Glmbel prizes to coaches we nominate Slaggs or Audersou. The jinx thut always has followed his wonderful teams in the State finals play was on hand again, but so was bis smile. His attitude was among tho bright things In tho Coliseum. Reports from Marlon are to tho effect that that, town Is putting on a celeb raion ns If the team had won the championship. That victory over Anderson certainly did tickle the followers of the Marlon aggregation. Just one banquet and entertainment after the other is rhe program for the flarkhorse semi finalists from Grant County. Come on. gang—all out for baseball.

FtRST HALF FINISHES CLOSE. The final score was 21 to 15, Franklin. but this doesn’t begin to tell of the gallant fight that Garfield put up against such big odds. The score at the end of the first half, 9 to 7, Franklin, or perhaps a little later, after about five minutes of the second period had been played and Garflelfi was leading 32 to 11, tells more clearly the tale of the final game. It was not until late in tue game that the fighting spirit and determination of the Garfield aggregation succumbed to tho finished and relentless game and tournament experience of the wonderful Franklin team, the only' high school outfit to ever win the Indiana championship for three successive years. The final game opened Saturday night with many people staying homo In preference "to witnessing the slaughter of Garfield" and the same Garfield putting up a defense that Franklin could not pierce with consistency. Even the great Vandivier, who uli through the tournament had dribbled through opposing teams for many of Franklin’s points, found himself stopped and losing the ball when he started his rush through the Garfield players. Franklin held tho edge over Garfield in this session, but had to fight for every shot at tha basket, which we—* few and fur between. Wheeler on the other hand kept Garfield in the running by accurate work from the foul line. GARFIELD GETS OUT IN FRONT. At the start of the second halt Franklin slightly increased its lead only to have Garfield, with YVheeler playing phenominal basket-ball, forge into the lead at 12 to 11. It was hero that all of the tremendous power of the Franklin quintette came Into effect. With a rush that bewildered tho Garfield players, but did not dishearten them, Vandlvler and Gant fought their way through for point after point until in an Instant the score was 20 to 11. This burst of speed spelled defeat f- r the Terra Haute team, but they never gave up and when the final gun sounded they were playing the champions on even terms. Wheeler, the extremely young and frailly built center of tho runners-un, played a wonderful game. Three fieid goals and seven points from the foul line brought his total to thirteen points, nil tint two of his teams’ total score. For Franklin Vandlvler and Gant continued the wonderful work they had displayed all through tho tournament. Gant .minted five times from the field and Vandlvler four with the latter adding four more points to his total out-of five attempts from the foul line. Franklin hnl played but one game

Tha meeting Sunday was the second and last of the exhibition series and furnished Hendricks' athletes with several hours of hitting practice, during which timo three of the Texas League hurlers were given terrific punishment. Morrison and ltehg each swatted tha Galveston pitchers' offerings for four hits each, and tho remainder of tha batting order battered tha horsehlde for many safeties, most of which came in succession and resulted in tremendous run-counting. Jess Petty, who soma six years ego hurled in the Texas league occupied tha pitcher’s mound for tho opening of hos. tllities and was touched for a homo run bv Mb tha g.
