ANDERSON SQUAD HOLDS EDGE ON CLAM STATE H, S, Net Spotlight Focused on Staggmen After De- | feating Vincennes, Three weeks ago today The Times mads this statement: “Andersoon looks like the class of the State. It would not be a surprise to see *he Staggmen come through at last as the high school basketball champions of Hcosierdom.” Other strong teams were named, such as Bedford, Frankfort and Mun cie, but the article ended up like this: “But it looks like AMDERSOX —and no one would say Staggs was lucky if he should lead his team to State honors this season. He has come close so often.” Today looking at the Anderson-Vin-cennes score of Friday night these statements appear to have plenty of solid ground to stand on. Frankfort is gaining more recognition and its fifteenth straight victory has convinced some of the doubting ones that Coach Case has a formidable outfit. Bedford showed its usual fine game Friday. Muncie came through with another victory and Shelbyville demonstrated its splendid scoring powers in the Manual set-to. There are so many fine teams so evenly matched that it seems almost unfair to select one outstanding five —but "picking” Is in the air these days—and who’s better than ANDERSON? A. A. U.

The race was contested against time and Jewtraw won first place with the fast time of 44 seconds. Oscar Olsen of Norway finished second and Theunberg of Finlarid and Larsen of Norway finished in a tie for third. Great enthusiasm prevailed when the games actually started. Celebrities from all over Europe, wintering at the fashionable resorts In the vicinity, were in the stands when the call was sounded and the first of the athletes came out of their clubhouses. When the American athletes appeared in white sweaters and tights with the neat United States emblem shining on their breasts a great cheer went up. William Steinmetz was the only American who failed to win his heat. He finished second behind Epsen of Norway In the twelfth heat. Jewtraw made his winning time of 44 in th< fifteenth heat against Gorman of Canada. With the exception of Jewtraw, the Americans did not do so well in the first Olympic event- Joe Moore's time placed him seventh; Kaskey was eighth, and Steinmetz fourteenth.
