Upsets Feature Weekly Net Tilts as Tournament Time Draws Near

MARION TAKES BEATING'FROM iINCIE SQUAD j Anderson Has Hard Time Winning From Tipton— Manual Victorious, By VEDDER GARD j As tournament time draws near, the i high school basket-ball teams of this I State seem determined to make all dopesters eat their words every week. Most anything is liuble to happen -in any week-end schedule, and it usually does. The teams of. Indiana are so j evenly matched and there is such a 1 tendency to play “in-and-out'' basketball that nearly every important game is a,toss-up. Vincennes seems to be playing the most consistent bail. But, behind most all of the so-called 1 upsets, there are real reasons that en- ! ter into the dope disturbers. SomeI times it is a mental condition of over- ; confidence and at other times physical ; condition turns the tide of battle. As | the time draws near for the final su- | preme efforts in sectional, regional j and State meets, some team that has ! been gradually improving and has reached its top speed at tourney time , may step in and win from teams that have been keyed too high throughout the season. The patient practice of building up a five with the climax of the season in sight is a task few of the coaches I cut out for themselves. The joy of. winning is too great to sacrifice the season's victories for tho long-shot chance at the end of the year. When a team goes to the tourney Just right for the struggles on hand, it is usualiv more a lucky accident than anything else. Many Surprises This Friday's schedule was full of astounding results, some of which can be explained and some of which will take the most painstaking efforts of the home town alibi artists to smooth over. Right here in this county 'Ben Davis startled the fans by winning from Valley Mills, 40 to 13. Short ridge and Cathedral wore defeated as . was expected by Franklin and Richnionil. Shortridge forced Franklin to l the limit, but the State champs pulled i out into the lead in the final minutes |to win by ten points, 31 to 21 The undefeated Richmond team was too | good for Cathedral and won. 32 to 13. Manual scored an unexpected victory over Brownsburg. winning 31 to 28, at Brownsburg. Howard was the big manual scorer, with 11 out of 12 fouls and five field goals. Out over the State there were plenty of games to keep the fans busy talk ing things over. Anderson had a hard tirr.o defeating Tipton, 28 to 26. Two of Stagg’s players were out, however. Tipton looked strong and the Anderson sectional is bound to furnish terrific competition with Elwood, Tipton ; and Anderson fighting it out. Bedford uncorked a real attack against Martinsville and ran up 43 points to 1 the Stone City team’s 26. Bain and Cox were not in the game. Shelbyville showed Greencastle plenty of ! stuff and won. 46 to 37. Hodges, the great Shelbyville center, tossed ten field goals. Muncio Beats Marion In a real surprise party Muncle defeated Marion, 38 to 10. There are plenty of explanations needed of that contest. The first half ended 11 to Jr*' then something happened and the final result shows who it happened to. demonstrated its class at Bloomington by winning, 42 to 27. It was Harper’s turn and he threw seven goals through the hoop. The southern team came strong as the game neared its close. Krueger led the Bloomington scoring. Frankfort did not mind the loss of Cummins and beat Jeff of Lafayette, 42 to 22. No one can ever tell when Jeff is going to play good or bad basket-ball. There 1 are some great players on the team. but they get together only occa- ! sionally. I Crawfordsville must be considered among the strong teams of the State j and is one of those squads that is reaching Its full strength as the season nears its close. They defeated ; Lebanon Friday. 27 to 20. Garfield of Terre Haute nosed out RushvilH, 26 Ito 22. The Garfield boys have been just bit overrated. Columbus won i from Seymour, 34 to 17. Kokomo turned in one of its good games against Logansport and won by one point, iy to 30. Both of these I teams can bear watching, but take ; the longest look a* Logansport. j Montmorenci, whieh sprang into prom- : inence by defeating Frankfort, won I over West Point, 33 to 25. In the | northern part of the State Emerson ; of Gary defeated South Bend in an ; overtime scrap, 20 to 19. Emerson has snapped out of it and seems to be the best in that section. Therq is plenty of food for thought In the week-end contests and it is a difficult task to rate the teams in j their proper order of strength. At least fifteen teams appear almost on an equal plane with Vincennes the outstanding squad. COLORED ‘Y’ DEFEATED Wiiberfnree Team Takes Locals in Close Game, 31 to 28. The local colored Y. M. C. Active fought hard against the "Wilberforce University team Friday night, but .ost, 31 to 28. The lead alternated in the fin il period, bu) the visitors stepped out i ’ front in the closing minutes to win Willette, center of the Wllberforce squad, bore the firunt of the winners’ attack, while Captain Baxter and Artis stood out for the locals.

By NBA Service MADISON, Wls., Feb. 17.—" Wonder coach of the West,” is a title that well fits Dr. W. J-Y. Meanwell, in charge of Wisconsin’s basket-ball five. Dr. Meanv.ell first became associated with Wisconsin in 1312 as basket-ball coach. That year the Badgers won their first “Big Ten” championship. During tho next five years lie won four titles and finished third once. In 1917 Meanwell went to University of Missouri and twice won the Missouri Valley Conference title. Returning to Wisconsin in 1921, he came right back with a tie for the championship. Last season his team was tied for second place. All told, since 1912 Coach Meanweirs teams have won six championships. Dr. W. J3. Meanwell opened the season at Wisconsin this year with two veterans, Williams and Tebell, with which to build a team. In the preliminary games, before the smoothness of the short pass style of play had began to show up, the team lost two games. Marquette and Butler both managed to win by a smah margin. In the Western Conference race so far the team has won five games defeating Northwestern, Indiana, Chicago and Minnesota and Michigan. Purdue defeated the Badgers in their only Big Ten loss in a defensive struggle, 17 to 13.

GARL TREMAINE STOPS CURTIN IN SIXTH ROUND Irishman Yells Foul and Quits Cold —Was Headed for a Knockout. By United Press NEW YORK, Feb. 17.—Carl Tremaine, sober faced, good looking little bantam from Cleveland put a foot across the line into Joe Lynch’s yard last night when he knocked out Irish Johnny Curtin in the sixth round of a That was scheduled to go twice that distance in Madison Square Garden. Rather spectacularly, the bout ended with Curtin hanging on the shoulders of referee Patsy Haley frantically moaning that he had been fouled. When the commission physician found no evidence of a foul, Haley declared Tremaine the winner. All the experts from Jersey who had been whispering around that the Cleveland boy “stepped back” and "wouldn’t take it” were crossed because it was Curtin who quit and he quit cold. It was just as well that he did, however, because he was surely beaten and headed for a knockout. He couldn’t lay a glove on Tremaine and he was stopping with his jaw and his stomach every wicked sharp sh oting right and left that the Ohio boy was sending over.
