It is hard to convince some schools that there is any sport besides basket-ball, so firm is the hold of the net sport in some Hoosier communities. But things ar. changing a bit. The I. H. S. A. A. is advocating the taking up of all sorts of athletic endeavors and the schools are responding in fine style. There is more baseball being played this spring than ever before. Tennis is getJr.g more attention, and the wrestling game si picking up in prep circles. Numerous schools which have not indulged in football in the fali have signified their intentions of playing the grid game. Track is on the boom. All of this is ■ :i should be.

Amateur H. A. C. HOST TO VISITING BOXERS IN BIG TOURNEY National A, A, U, Champions to Show Prowess in Local Ring Meet, The Indiana-Kentucky A. A U. boxing championships will start tonight at the Hoosier A. C gymnasium at Pratt and Meridian Sts. and continue through Friday and Saturday night-. The semifinals will be held on Friday and the final title bouts on Saturday. All classes will be contested. The winners probably will go to the national senior tourney to be held In Boston early In April. The keenest competition seems likely to develop between the boxers of the Gary Y. M. C. A. and the Hoosier A. C. Both organizations are noted for their boxing activities and have entered large teams. Culver Military Academy also must be reckoned with, as that institution makes a specialty of the "manly art ot self-defense.” Boxers from otiier clubs and those who have entered unattached of which not so much is known may spring some surprises. There is always a dark horse lurking somewhere in any branch of sport. No Kentucky Entries A rather peculiar situation exists in the fact that, although the winners In the various weights carry the titles of Indiana-Kentucky champions, there Is not a boxer entered from the Blue Grass State. This division of the A A U. includes Kentucky, but the Colonels are not represented. All of the boxers were to weigh In this afternoon at 3 o'clock at the IT A C. The boys have been training strenuously for some weeks and are anxiously waiting for the tap of the bell that sends them in to match their skill with other boxers of their weight. Among the boxers ere su'-h well-knwon I mil artists as Alexander Bush, light j heavyweight Mid-West champion of Culver Military Academy; George Mulhol- ' land, national junior light heavyweight I champ, and Roy Wallace, national junior middleweight title holder, both of the H.

March 29.—Serious thong it- bout organization of the rc ini the (’tilted states is to send to the Olympic games in Paris a year from ft s coming summer are at least being exercised by the officials. William (' Front . president of tbs A A V . tnd a member of the Olympic , oinmitte". has suggested wisely* that no American teams he sent to 'uropean me<<ts tills summer and that xi 1.1 efforts be made to meet in this ■ ..untry in preparation for next summer. Financing the American team will not h such a serious problem as with many of the European nations. After the Antwerp meet the American officials decided to take a 5 per cent cut out of the revenue front all A A U.. meets !, while no figures are avnllabi*. there must be a substantial sum already in the treasury. Lust vent at this time it seemed that there would be a political fight for tho control of the 1924 Olympic team, but many of the differences between the pie nnt controlling body* and the .national federation have been overcome, and little friction is expected next year.

The Rules Contestants are required to do two things—1. Name each player. 2. Tell one additional Interest ing fact about each one. On tile twelfth day tnnll your answers to the Times Sports Editor.

Schott is Good Bn Tinus ft pedal BOGALUSA. La.. March 29. Clarence Schott,, an Indianapolis semi-pro. lias been making a strong bid for a berth with the Indians during their spring training workouts here. He is a first baseman, and, of course, the tact that Jay Kirke has that position clinched has made his efforts appear futile. Recently, however, Schott’s confidence has picked up. and his hitting likewise, and there is a possibility of the club trying him as a pinch hitter and as a relief man for Kirke. At any rate, Schott’s trip south has not been wasted time, and If he can't stay with the Indians as an extra man, he won't have any trouble obtaining a job in a league of lower classification.
