Feature Net Game at Bloomington—Hoosier A. C. Selects Boxing Team

REST SCORERS OF BIG TEN MEET IN MRU. SCRAP Nyikos and Cunningham on Same Court; Franklin-Han-over, N, D-Aggies, The usual college net program for Friday night is a little light this week as several of the teams are devoting their attention to final exams. However, there are some contests worthy of more than passing note. Perhaps the most interesting is the Indiana “U” and Ohio State battle at Bloomington. There should be some points drop the hoop when these two teams meet as the leading scorers of the Western Conference are on the opposing squads. Leading Scorers Nyikos of I. U. heads the procession of point makers and Cunningham, Ohio center, is second in the individual honor list. Nyikos was a star last year, but Cunningham is just stepping into prominence. He is a long boy well over six feet— Pk constant threat around the basket. Last Monday against lowa he tossed in nine baskets from the field, which is some record against that tight guarding outfit. Ohio Formidable Ohib has the most formidable team in years and Indiana must be prepared for a struggle. Franklin gets into action against Hanover at the Franklin court. The Baptists should turn in another victory on their long string. Notre Dame and Michigan Aggies clash at South Bend, Rose Poly is at Earlham and Huntington is at Adrian College.

ANDERSON AT VINCENNES WEEK’S BIG H. S. FRAY f Bedford - Bloomington, Franklin - Frankfort, MartinsvilleColumbus Among Other High Spots on Schedule. The usual flock of high school net games is on the schedule for this Friday night, but among the many there are a few that stand out like mountain peaks. Perhaps there is no game which is receiving more attention over the State than the Anderson and Vincennes fray at the southern city.

The Blue's decisive defeat of lowa, at Omaha recently, score 3fi to 13, stamped the Croightonitea its one of the most formidable teama in the country. Indiana has also taken the count at the hunds of the Creighton crew. How would a Crelghton-Franklin clash go? Oh, boy, It would be some thriller! They are rot scheduled to meet this year, but perhaps next season the two sensat.onal fives wili be brought together.

TOURNEY AT WHITESTOWN Four High School Net Teams in Competition Saturday. By Times Special j WHITESTQWN, Ind., Jan. 24. There will be an Invitational high school basketball tourney here Saturday with four competing teams, as follows: Perry Central of Lebanon, Zlonsville, Westfield and Wbltestown. The Whlt.eatown Commercial Association will present the winner with a beautiful trophy consisting of a silver basketball.

It’s a game that revives memories of last season in which these two splendid lives battled for supremacy right down to the final tourney at Indianapolis. Vincennes has been coming strong in the last few weeks and Anderson has been setting a terrific pace. Friday night will tell a story of how these two, admittedly among the best, stack up. Os course the home floor advantage must be discounted after it is all over. Bed ford • Blooini n gton At Bedford the annual rivalry battle wiijh Bloomington holds the center of the stage. This year it does not seem of such import, as Bloomington has dropped by the wayside so often, but one never can tell when those lads will spring Into action with a rush. They have a habit around tourney time of being at their best. Franklin at Frunkfort—another real tussle. Frankfort will get a test against a well-coached, fast team which has a handicap to fight against which can not be helped—a lack of size. Frankfort should win easily enough on Its own floor if Case’s team is as good as it is thought to be. Martiusville-Col ambus Martinsville, with Brown back In the Une-up, should be a rather unwelcome visitor at Columbus. The game should be one of those struggles for which this State is noted. Muncle should continue its onward march at Newcastle. The local schedule Friday includes Tech at Greencastle, Shortridge at Ben Davis, Broad Ripple at Brownsburg, and Shelbyville at Manual.

Basketball Problems

Ques. —Is it possible to “block” a player who has the ball? Ans.—The term “block” applies to impedtnr the progress of an opponent who has not the bail. The terms “hold, charge, push, or use unnecessary roughness ' may be used to cover personal fouls on a player who has the ball. These latter terms apply also if he has not the ball. Ques. —A player was about to make a free throw when the crowd hissed, trying to disconcert him. The player turned to tile referee to see If he was going to do anything about it. The referee said. "Your ten seconds are up,” and threw the ball up at center. We lost the game by one point. Have we grounds for protest. Ans.—No. The player should have been attending to his own job instead of helping to referee the game. Ques. —Some coaches In our section assert that when a player is taksn oflt of the game the person 1 fouls charged to him are cancelled; if he returns to the game later he has a clean slate. Others assert that when a player is taken out. tlje substitute takes the player s fouls and when the substitute runs the total up to four beds disqualified, and the original player may return with a clean slate. Ans.—Both of these are untrue: you ean see how the rules would be evaded if either of those could be done. A player's personal fouls are his own property throughout the game.
