//♦ S. Basketball Steps Into Spotlight as Football Sport Exits From Stage

GREAT CROWDS THRONG NEW GYMS OVER STATE Important Games Start Early This Season MartinsviileGreencastle, Bloomington-Shelbyville Tonight, With the lull just after the football storm high school basketball rears its head into the limelight in this State. Although the prep fives have been playing for some time their activities have not had the attention of the general public to any great extent because of the college football contests.

It's different now with the cleated shoes put away for -the year as far as Indiana is concerned. The college hardwood games do not start for awhile and so the high school net sport crowds Its way into prominence. Good Games Early The high school schedule makers this year have not put off ail the important games until the latter part of the season. Already any number of thrilling games have been played by the very top teams of the State. Many fives right now are traveling at a dizzy speed. If such a thing is possible, there is even more interest in the great indoor game. With the fine new gyms that so many of the schools have obtained and the better facilities for handling the spectators, the crowds that see basketball games over the State reach astounding proportions. A number of the gyms will handle 2.500 fans and they are usually packed. Columbus, ShelbyviUe and Martinsville have opened splendid new gymnasiums this fall. There are others in various sections of the State. Hot Battles Fought A great many teams played their gam%s this week on Wednesday so that Thanksgiving dinners could be eaten without the thought of a game on Friday. However, there are some hot battles scheduled for tonight. Not a Friday passes but that some bitter rivals clash on the courts. The outstanding fraya tonight are Bloomington at ShelbyviUe, Kokomo at Muncie, Martinsville at Greencastle and Rushville at Newcastle. There are any number of other struggles just as important in their own communities, but not holding the State-wide interest of those mentioned above.

TWO LIVES LOST AS SPEED EVENT GETSUNDER WAV Hill, Winning Pilot, Starts in Duesenberg and Finishes in Miller Special, ' By Times Special LOS ANGLES, Nov. 30.—Two men were sacrificed to the demon of speed as great crowds gathered for the 250mile championship automobile race here Thursday. George L. Wade, millionaire oil man and sportsman of Kansas City, and William Hughes, newspaper photographer, were killed by the racer of Harry Hartz, as Hartz darted out from in front of the grandstand on a practice lap just before the race began, and Johnny Lee, a mechanic, sustained a broken leg and other serious injuries. Some Spectators Leave Nearly 80,000 spectators saw the tragedy, and many, panic stricken, and In fear of further casualties, left the bowl before the race began. Hartz was so overcome by the fatal accident that he refused to start. His car, going at thirty-five miles an hour as it left the pits, first struck Hughes, who was standing in front of the press box to snap a photograph. The camera man was killed almost instantly and then, careening toward the side walls, the machine hit Wade and Lee. knocking them both flat on tne boards. Hughes was dead when officials reached him. Wade, still breathing, died a few minutes later on the operating table at the track hospital. Owner of Fengler Car The Hartz car was badly damaged in the crash. Wade owned the machine driven by Harlan Fengler. The race was won by Bennie Hill, who started in an Indianapolis Duesenberg Special and finished in a Mil- | ler special. Jimmy Murphy finished second and Eddie Hearne third. By placing third. Hearne gained enough points to crown him 1923 champion of the American speedways. Murphy became runner-up for the national honors. Murphy and Hearne placed in Durants, and Fengler drove a Wade Special to fourth position. Milton in Accident Twice, in the course of the race, death grimaced menacingly over the track, but daring of the drivers withheld It. Tommy Milton, after leading the field for 134 laps, was forced out when his H. C. S. Special crashed into the fence. The car spun round and round, and its front axle was splintered, but it did not overturn. Previously, on the ninety-seventh lap, “Red” Schaefer lost control of his Duesenberg while rounding a curve, and crashed into Milton's pit. He tore away yards of the fence, and mechanics risked their Uvea as they rushed out in the face of the thundering cars to clear the tracks of the wreckage, but Schaefer was unhurt and was able to reenter the race after a few adjustments to his car.

Wabash at Memphis also ran into bad weather conditions. The game was played in the mud. The lone score of the Docs came late In the second quarter on a thirty-yard forward pass. The try for point was missed. The Tennessee team had a powerful attack and Wabash was kept on the defense most of the time. They did a fine job of it, however, and always braced when in danger except the one fatal time on the long heave. Wabash Threatens Wabash reached the Doctors’ 12yard line in the fourth quarter, but failed to carry the ball over. Thursday’s victory gives the Tennessee eleven a record of three straight years without a defeat. Drizzling rain greeted the Dubuque squad at Valparaiso.
