Flentke, Central _ forward, went around Jones, the big back guard, for seven baskets. Ward, small forward, got two baskets and Allen, floor guard, snagged three. Bounce Pass floes It Jones, around whom the Vincennes *'oach has built his team, played a good offensive game, scoring twice from the field, but Evansville forwards. by using the bounce pass, evaded Jones time after time and went through the five-man defense. The victory of Evansville over Vincennes was a big upset. Recently Vincennes Journeyed to Evansville and trounced them In their own hang out by a margin of twelve points. Vincennes had an unbroken string of twenty games before the Central boys took the fall out of them. It was their first defeat in three years on their home floor. Coach John Adams was the first one to congratulate the Central players on their victory.

{ -—v OLLY” GRAY pitched the I 1 weirdest game I ever have seen in major league circles. Sray was a southpaw, and a pretty good one. He came to Washington from the coast and spent his major eague career with the Nationals. Gray turned in his unusual performtnce against the Chicago White Sox )n Aug. 28, 1909, at Chicago. Gray allowed only one hit —a very luestionable one—yet he was beaten, ito 4. Not an error was made by his lupportlng cast. How come, you say/ I umpired the game, and can reca. 1 Ihe happenings of the unusual contest Is vividly as If they were Just being Itaged. In the second inning Chicago leered six runs through the medium If one scratch hit and a wild streak In the part of Gray. It is questionable If there is anything to equal it L the history' of major league hall. I Gray retired the Sox In the first inllng. pitching perfectly. In the secInd inning things began to happen, stat Dougherty led off with a high Bounder to Bob Unglaub, playing first Base for Washington. Unglaub jumped ftfter it, the ball struck the top of his Hove and was deflected into right field, ft was scored as a hit, but I always stave thought that Unglaub should fttve easily handled the ball.

BEDFORD ON TOP AFTEROVERTIME Columbus Rivals Beaten in Furious Contest, By Timet Special BEDFORD. Ind., Feb. 3.—The local high school basketeers continued their winning streak by taking their second game of the season from the strong Columbus team in an overtime game Friday by the score of 25 to 23. The score at the half was 8-8. The end of the regular time saw the score at j 22-22. It was Girdley who deserves the credit for Friday night's victory, although the high scorer was Benzel, with four from the field ax.d six from j the foul line. Girdley had two from! the field and was the 6hinlng star with his clever floor work. In the overtime game It waa a long shot immediately after the extra session started that took the pep out of the visiting crew. Jones, the boy who has shown to such advantage of late and who almost single-handed brought the locals from behind to a win when they visited Columbus two weeks ago, was a marked man Friday and did not score. Holding fouls proved cdstly for Columbus and offset their field goal advantage. Captain Howe and Zeigler i both played furiously in an effort to i gain victory, but Bedford held tho bail when It obtained a three-point ] lead in the overtime and the best the visitors could do was one foul goal.

BASKET OFFICIALS SPEND NIGHT OUT WITH FLIVVER A flivver as a means of transporting basket-ball officials over the State did not prove an entire success Friday, and today the flivver Is parked In a barnyard eight miles north of Bedford, Ind. Five Indianapolis referees conceived the plan of returning from Bedford and Bloomington to Indianapolis by the flivver route, Inasmuch as train service from those cities seldom brings the traveler back before 5

o’clock in the morning. Three of the officials left Indianapolis Friday in the flivver. Dick Miller and Dale Miller, offlidals In the Bedford-Columbus basket-ball game, and Heze Clark, referee of the Indiana-Michigan Aggies swimming meet, were in the car. Soon after leaving Indianapolis their

A couple of outs and another base on balls was responsible for the sixth run of the Inning. | Joe Cantillon, managing the WashI ington club, was short on pitchers at ; the time and let Gray take his medii cine. In the next inning Gray recovj ered control and for the rest of the game held the Sox runless and hit- | less. Washington staged several ralj lies and Chicago had a hard time wini ning 6 to 4. That game stands out in my mem- ! ory as the most peculiar ball game 1 | ever worked. Gray, who really I pitched a no-hit game, was beaten, 6 !to 4. because he developed a streak ! of wildness in which he gave eight j bases on balls in one inning, seven of ; them in succession—forcing five runs i over the plate.

WATCH DOT FOR BLOOINCTON IS BASKET WARNING Southern Team Shows Flash! i of Greatness Against Franklin Five, By VEDDER GARD. Times Staff Correspondent BLOOMINGTON. Ind., Feb. 3. You can never count Bloomington High School out of the running. The' team demonstrated Friday night that j with all of its players in the game j it Is one of the most foimidable net : aggregations in the State. Coach Wakefield’s five simply swept , Franklin off its feet by the overwhelming count of 51 to 14. The losers were hopelessly out-classed from the start j by the speedy attack of Bloomington. A tip to other schools of Indiana is , Watch Bloomington! The result was totally unexpected, ! but now the contest Is over State fans will have to revise the dope somewhat and count Bloomington back In the running with a vengeance. The team has been down In the depths for several weeks, but some of the stars are getting back into shape and the new men are finding them- j selves. The result Is rather startling as the Franklin score indicates. Franklin Oft' Form Franklin was in a terrible slump and played miserable ball, but Bloomington was just as good as the State champs were bad. It is the worst defeat that anybody can remember ever being administered to the Johnsou I County boys. little McQuiston was j the only Franklin player who fought j throughout. Bloomington lined up at the start i with Stull and Hill at forwards. Farm er at center and Correll and Albertson ! at guards. It is anew team. None of the men played last season. Stull came from Smithvllle. Hill Is a last year's substitute. Farmer at center. Is playing his first year of basket-ball and looks like ' a find. He Is taking Wells' place, who j graduated at the close of the first semester. Correll and Albertson last season played on the second team. Krueger is the only veteran left. He was in the game about half of the time Friday night and his presence made a great difference. He is a wonderful player with a burst of speed who is very difficult to stop under the j basket. His peculiar one-handed shots puzzle opposing guards. Ho is tho big threat of Bloomington. Team Coming Fast The others are coming fast. The team shows remarkable possibilities. All of the men are fast. Stull probably will be Krueger's running mate. | Hill and Farmer, both tall boys, will have a fight for the center Job from j tho looks of things. Correll at floor guard fits in well : with Bloomington's snappy cris.s-; cross stuff down tho floor a.nd can drop in many points. Albertson at j back guard is a real battler. He j would be better if he were taller. Line-up and summary: Bloomington (51). Franklin (141. | i Stull F Willey, I Hill F Dav is , I Farmer C ......... Underwood 1 Correll G..

troubles began. The fan belt broke and the fan broke. Repairs were made at Moo’resvllle. Two miles from Mooresville, while attempting to pass a large automobile, the flivver went into a ditch. Diclt Miller was at the wheel and the sedan stopped in the mud just one foot from a telephone pole. A dozen automobile drivers tried to pull the flivver out of the ditch. Then O. E. Sawyer, a farmer, brought a team of horses and the fltwer was started back in the direction of the road. The single tree broke. Sawyer called to his son Herman to bring him another single tree and a lap ring. "What is a lap ring?” asked Dale Miller, who knows all about basket-ball. “A lap ring Is a ring that you hold In your lap,” explained one of the automobile drivers who was assisting in getting the flivver out of the mud. The remainder of the trip to Bedford and Bloomington was made without any exciting incident. The two Millers planned to drive from Bedford to Bloomington after the basket-ball game and to meet Vedder Gard and Bennie Evans, basket-ball officials in the Franklin-Bloomington game, and Clark, there. At midnight the two Millers arrived in Bloomington in another automobile. The flivver had gone dead and five Indianapolis officials left Bloomington on the Monon early today.

MILLER NOMINATES NO. 1 CAR FOR SPEEDWAY RACE

Harry Miller, California engineer, has nominated car No. 1 for the 1923 600-mile race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. His entry became official today when sanction of it was received at the Speedway office by General Manager T. E. Myers. Miller has not selected a driver for the car, but it can be taken for granted he will have no trouble petting one of the prominent speed boys. His reputation for turning out high-class racing creations Is well-known

and It will be no surprise to see one of the nationally known pilots handling car No. 1. Jimmy Murphy drove at a record pace last year, averaging 94.45 mile3 an hour for the five-century distance. His mount was known as the Murphy Special. It had one of Miller’s new eights to give It the speed, but the chassis was one that Fred Duesenberg built and which carried Jimmy to victory In the 1921 French Grand Prlx. Miller's new mount for the 500-mile will be an eight, a refined miniature of Murphy’s 183 cubic Inch class engine. The cylinders have a bore of 2.34375 Inches and a stroke of 3.5, giving a displacement of 120.8 cubic inches. This gives him a margin of 1.2, as the class is 122 cubic inches. It is expected that the Miller car will be of the one-man type, which, no doubt, will slightly Increase the speed, as better streamlining of the body will be possible and from 120 to 150 pounds of weight reduced by the absence of a mechanic. Although the entry blanks for the next 500-mile event have been In the mails but a, few days the Speedway management Is receiving numerous requests for information and a record

PEAKS GRID EDO? OF INDEPENDENT TEAM STATE Helvie Gets Mapleton Club; Behind Move to Organize League for Fall. In conjunction with the Mapleton Athletic Club, “Chunk” Helvie, wellknown Indianapolis independent football player, has launched a movement to organize ten or twelve prominent independent grid teams of Indiana into a league. Helvie has sent correspondence to a number of grid managers and his sounding-out efforts are bringing favorable replies. It is Holvie’s belief there is need of independent football organization in Indiana in order to give the sport stronger prestige and better pulling power from the standpoint of attendance. Strict Rules for Players It is Helvie’s ambition to have a league formed along the lines of the National Professional Football Association. Rules regarding players would be of such a nature that the warriors would not be jumping from one team t oanother each week. Players playing under assumed names would be barred and college players still In school would be under the ban Business Methods Needed Helvie sees a bright future for independent football In the Hoosier State If it can be organized and conducted In a businesslike manner. At the moment Helvie has in mind for the league such teams as Muncie, Jonesboro. Kokomo, Shelbyville, Goshen, Pine Village, Sheridan, Gas City and Indianapolis. This city could have two or three teams in the league, Helvie says. Managers Interested in the proposal are requested to communicate with Helvie, addressed to the Mapleton Athletic Club, Thirty-Fourth St. and Capitol Ave., Indianapolis.
