Haskell Indians Invade City Saturday for Net Scrap With Butler College

FEATURE BASKET EVENT FOR COACH PAGE’S TEAM John Levi of Football Fame to Be in Line-Up of Visiting Redskins—Local Squad Confident, AYhen John Levi and his tribe of Haskell Redskins come to town Saturday night to play Butler College on the Tomlinson Hall net court they will find several acquaintances in basketball togs. Hal Griggs, who mixed with Big John on the gridiron last fall, will jump against him at center. If either one has a dispute to settle it probably will be done Saturday night.

Levi, though not as famous on the basket court as on the gridiron, has a reputation of being hard to stop. His brother, George Levi, is slated at backguard. Carpenter, the speedy football end, will fill a forward position. Paul, who played the wing position opposite Carpenter. probably will have the job of guarding him. Elkins will meet, old friends in Nipper and Middlesworth. Kipp, a hurdler on the Haskell track team, completes the squad at the floor guard job. The Butler squad is reported in the best of shape. A slight work out was the program this afternoon. Coach Page says his men are getting in trim at the end of the season. There will be no practice Saturday. The style of ball displayed In the lasr Wabash game has encouraged Butler fans. • Page has been pleased lately with Jerry Strole. football lineman. Strole has been getting into a few unimportant varsity contests. He has taken on weight and has developed form. The coach says in al! probability Strole will get a chance at the Indian outfit. The Butler freshmen will play the Earlham freshmen in a curtain raiser game. The Bulldog “seedlings” have trounced the Quakers once this season. The preliminary is called for 7 o’clock; the Haskell game at 8. I RESULTS IN BILLIARD EVENT Amateur Cue Stars in Form at Pittsburgh, By United Prrxx PITTSBURGH, Feb. 22.—A match between John A.

KENTUCKY SAVES ‘SPORTOF KINGS’ Anti-Race Yelpers Downed in Vote on Bill. Bv Unit id News LOUISVILLE. Feb. 22.—Kentucky racing was saved from reformers Thursday when the Bennett anti-bet-ting race track bill was killed by the Kentucky Senate by a vote of 24 to 14. The vote was first taken on tho minority report of a committee which had reported the bill favorably, 5 to 1, at noon. The Senate listened all afternoon to the swan song of Senators who wished to see the sport of turfdom abolished, after a solitary Senator on the committee had brought in a minority report. The concerted fight against racing had been attacked on the ground that It was being used by reformers and politicians as an obstructionist plan to block practically all the legislation that has been proposed during the present session of the Legislature, which convened in January. Although the race track question w<as decided as far as the Democrats were concerned in last summer’s primary. the losers were Insistent upon dragging the matter into the Legislature. The fight last summer resolved Itself into a duel between Congressman Cantrill and Congressman Barkley. Cantrlll favored the present system of conducting races in the Blue Grjass State, while Barkley solicited support on the strength of a repeal of the pari-mutuel plan of betting, legalized in Kentucky.

RECORD CROWD PRESENT i AS NEW GYM IS OPENED 5,200 Fans Pack Huge Martinsville Structure as Shelbyville Downs Artesian City High School Net Team, By Time-t Special MARTINSVILLE, InJ., Feb. 22.—1 t was some party! In faet Martinsville was host Thursday night to the largest gathering of basketball fans that ever witnessed a high school net game in this State with the exception of the finals at the Coliseum, Indianapolis, when Shelbyville helped open the new gym here.

There may have been just as many persons who wanted to see some othei contests, but there never has been as much room to crowd them into at any previous time. With a seating capacity of 5,200, the fins huge new structure was packed, with just a few left-overs standing in the door way. 1,600 Shclbyites It was almost as much Shelbyville’s party as Martinsville’s, because the Shelby County fans followed their team in two special trains and filled cne whole side of the gym—l,6oo of them. It was a great exhibition of the Shelbyville spirit. On the back of the yjll leader’s shirt are the words, “Backin’ Tim—2,ooo Strong.” It’s no idle boast. Tim Campbell Is the coach. Martinsville was an Ideal host and every detail was attended to without the slightest hitch. Principal Vandivier personally saw to it that the many visitors, including coaches and newspaper men, were treated with every’ courtesy. But the game itself must not be forgotten in the general festivities. It was a typical Shelbyville victory'. 47 to 41. The Shelby lads bellewe in ringing up more points than their opponents, no matter how many points those same opponents get. Plenty of Points Must anyone would think 41 points would win any ordinary game—and it would. But Shelbyville has a couple extraordinary' goal getters in Barnett and Hodges. Those two can send shivers down the spines of any five in Indiana. The winners owe their victory to a first half spurt that put them in front, 21 to 10. In the first twenty tnlnutes Martinsville seemed determined to stop the visitors' offensive drive and concentrated on defense. That fact combined with an inability to sink their short shots under the net gave them only ten points. In the final half Coach Curtis' team decided to step out a, little and make some points. They succeeded so well that they made thirty-one points to Shelby's twenty six, but it was too late. Martinsville Opens Up Martinsville continually dribbled under the net for close-up goals and Wright sunk them from every angle. He was the star for the losers. W. Bchnalter did some beautiful dribbling during the last period. Shelbyville was handicapped toward
