Archery Is Revived in Hearts of Indianapolis Youths Who Thrill to Deeds of Merrie Men of Sherwood Forest

By TEDDER GARD ALTHOUGH the bow and arrow have been cast aside long ago, displaced for any practical purpose by modern firearms, yet when the glamor of olden days is revived as happened here in the great picture, "Robin Hood,” that took young and old back to the days of chivalry in England, archery again receives some attention especially from the younger generation. The bow and arrow takes the youth of the land back to brave Old days when the famous cross-bow warriors of England turned the tide of many a battle and Robin Hood and Little John and Friar Tuck roamed their carefree way through Sherwood forest.

West Newton and Shadeland and Ben Davis and Valley Mills were to battle it out this afternoon for the right to engage in the finals tonight of the annual Marion County basket-ball tournament in progress at Tomlinson Hall. West Newton and Shadeland reached the semi-finals by surviving the Friday night contests and Ben Davis gained a place by eliminating Lawrence in the first Saturday fray, 43 to 12. Second Half Decides Ben Davis was forced to keep moving in the first half against Law- | rence, but in the second half the ' Davis machine sailed away to a big lead. Ben Davis made a number of substitutions in order to give the first string athletes a rest. Wakefield, Lentz and Goodlow were outstanding players for Ben Davis, and Lyle and Phillips were best for Lawrence. Valley Mills gained, the semi-finals by trimming Broad Ripple in the final fray of the morning schedule today, 30 to 16. Stewart, star Valley Mills forward, amazed the spectators by tossing ten goals from the field. He was the class of the game and his accurate eye was too much for the Rippleites. The score at the half was 13 to 5 in Valley Mills’ favor. Fourteen high school teams of Marion County, not including the Indianapolis high schools, started In the tourney Friday morning and at the close of this morning’s play four were left in the running.

MAN KILLED WHEN FOUR LIQUOR STILLS EXPLODE Scores of Persons Driven From Homes in New Jersey. By United Pre NEWARK, N. J., Jan. 27.—One man was killed and scores of persons were driven from their homes early today when four stills exploded in a garage. The explosions, coming almost siultaenously, seemed to rock the k ground, and the detonations drew a r great crowd to the scene of the wrecked garage. Mrs. Baker Funeral Funeral services of Mrs. Rebecca Baker, widow of Dr. Braxton Baker, were held today at the home. 1528 Park Ave. Burial was at Crown Hill Cemetery. Mrs. Baker was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

There has been a gfeat demand in this city for archery paraphernaria within the last two weeks. The main dealer 1n such articles is just about sold out. All of the inexpensive bows are gone and even a number of the long six-foot ones have been purchased. There are no longer any arrows in stock. It seems as though the boys all want to be Robin Hoods. There is no archery club in Indianapolis. The East seems to be the stronghold of Robin Hood's descendents—or at least of those who prefer the long bow. However, there are clubs scattered all over the country and Chicago has such an organization. A national tourney Is held each year. There are rules and regulations for meets and a gov-

GREAT VINCENNES TEAM WINS FROM ANDERSON HIGH 1.800 Fans See Fierce Battle That Ended 29 to 27 —Both Fives Are of the Best, By DICK ANDERSON Times Sports Editor. ANDERSON, Ind.. Jan. 27.—The Vincennes basket-bail team convinced 1.800 wild-eyed net fans who were crowded into the Anderson High School gym last night that it is the ‘best high school team in the State of Indiana today, and when you say I Indiana that takes in pretty much the i whole universe. Anderson was deI seated, 29 to 27. The Anderson team put up one of | the prettiest exhibitions of fight 1 i have ever seen. They opened the | game with a zip and had five points ■ chalked up before Jones, the Vinj c-ennes wonder guard, called lime to talk things over. After their brief rest the Old Alice boys came to life ! and the two teams battled furiously, j Staggs' men trailed at the close of ; the half, 13 to 12. Coming back in the ; last half the two teams went at it again and the 1,800 fans saw more , good old Indiana basket-ball in that ‘ twenty minutes than is allotted to j very many crowds. My hat is off to Robinson, Ander- | son's little red-headed forward. In j my estimation he ranks at the top , among the State forwards. With j characteristic Staggs scrappiness and j never say-die spirit he actually played I himself off his fedt in the final moS ments of the game in an effort to snag 1 the basket that would put his team jon even terms. lie went around Jones j for a couple of baskets and Jones re- | taliated by coming down the floor and looping there in that put the game on i ice. The Vincennes team without Jones j would be only ordinary. Every play seems to center around him. Ibelieve ! that Jones had the ball in his posses-, sion last night as much as the other four Vincennes players combined. It ; was up to Jones to get the ball down | the floor and he did it consistently with a dribble that Anderson made jno attempt to stop. Instead they covered the otheri men and that very j thing contributed to their defeat Jones shot several times in the early ] stages of the game but missed re i peatedly. With seconds to go and the score close the back guard I piled three through when they were needed and won the game. Williams, Anderson center, got tho tip off without trouble and the team | work of the Red and Green squad : was better than that of Vincennes. | They passed wild at times and fell I down miserably from the foul line though. The playing of Shettle, AnI derson backguard, was first class. He 1 ranks away up high among the guards. It was a tough game for Anderson to lose and a great game for Vincennes to win. The Vincennes forwards, Wampler, Harper and Wolf, are great little players. They fight hard and are dangerous at all times. There was a lot of tough luck at basket shooting on both sides. It was heart breaking to seo the ball roll around and than roll out when the Anderson players were fighting like mad men to get the needed two points and it was equally heart breaking to see the bail go in and out when Vincennes was trying to pull the game out of the fire. The calibre of officiating was on a par with the playing of both teams and added the little nip that made it a one two-three affair. Vincennes plays Lebanon at Lebanon tonight and a victory will make It twenty straight. Anderson (27). Vincennes (29>.

500-MILE DATE ID BE CHANGED IF BILL PASSES Speedway 1923 Race on Even if May 30 Sports Are Banned, j Due to the heavy demand for tickets l to the 1923 500-mile auto speed race | officials of the Indianapolis Motor I Speedway have decided to stage the I event regardless of what happens to 1 the anti-Memorial day sports bill now I before the State Legislature. This an- | nouncement was made at the Speedway offices today. Thousands of seat reservations are ' on file at the Speedway offices on N. | Capitol Ave. and the last few days i have seen more requests coming in. ! The public seat sale does not open until Monday, four months in advance of the race? Beginning Monday, therefore, it will be possible to obtain tickets by appearing in person or by mail. If racing on May 30, Memorial day, is placed under the legal ban, the SOO-milo event will be run on a day | near that date, May 26 or June 2, in ' all probability. j There would be so much work to j undo if the race was cancelled that | Speedway directors have decided to jgo ahead with it. Much money' al--1 ready has been spent in preparing for the race and many drivers have asked the officials to hold the event even if a change in date becomes necessary. Whether the annual 500-mile race will continue to be held In Indianapolis if racing on Memorial day is banned will depend on the attendance at this year's contest.
