High School Basketball Championship Tourney Appears to Be Open Affair

SEVERAL STRONG FIVES ' HAVE CHANCE AT TITLE Divergence of Opinion on Outcome at Coliseum —Teams Not Considered Before Regionals Show Real Strength, As final tournament time approaches the old dope pot is boiling and bubbling at a tremendous rate. With the number of contestants brought down to sixteen all of the dopesters’ efforts are concentrated on the few remaining title aspirants.

But even with the field narrowed many “ifs" and “ar.ds" are dotting the conversational atmosphere and not many conclusions are being reached. From such- a variety of opinion comes the thought that the race for Indiana's highest prep honor in basketball is yet very much an open affair. Some of the teams which have not shown a great deal throughout the season have come to the front in no uncertain manner in the final tests. Uogar.sport is one of these, and displayed some of the best basketball seen at the Lafayette regional.' Coach Wells can never be counted out of the running. He seems to jjave finally got his players together into a machine of power. Andy Gill’s Boys Andy Gill, one of the most famous athletes that Indiana University ever had, is coaching the Michigan City team. It was another surprise outfit at Lafayette, a smooth working aggregation that knew plenty of basiketbail. But from reports the team may lack the size and stamina to go through the grueling tourney grind. Some of the teams which will appear here are not being considered as seriously as others. In this list are Wiley' of Terre Haute, South Side of Ft. Wayne, North Manchester, Otterbein, Connersville and Liberty' Center. There may be dark horses lurking in this group, but they do not seem to stack up with some of the outstanding fives which have had brilliant records throughout the season. Strong Contestants Among the very strongest appear to be Anderson, Bedford, Franklin, Frankfort, Richmond, Shelbyville, Logansport and Martinsville. Rochester, which appears to have a good team from the northern section, must meet Shelbyvilie in the first round. Around Indianapolis. Shelbyville is considered one of the very best and is therefore a favorite^ In the first round draw the very first game of the tourney brings two teams together which should start things off with all the fireworks which the most rabid fans could desire. Frankfort and Franklin clash at 9 a. m. Friday. Bedford-Anderson Anotner feature first round game is the Bedford-Anderson battle at 2 p. m. on Friday. Without much doubt these are two of the State’s best, but one must be eliminated at the very |>eginning of the meet, f Fans will watch Otterbein with much interest in their game with Connersville, at 4 p. m. Friday. It is a real dark horse team, which eliminated Lebanon and Crawfordsville in the regional at Lafayette to get to the finals. Liberty-Center, which plays Martinsville at 7:30 p. m. Friday is stronger than many believe, but the Artesian City lads should win.

CAN’T WRITE AND PLAY IS VERDICT Tilden and Richards Hit in Olympic Ruling. By United Press NEW YORK, March 12.—A polite reply indicating there is no fence between him and the lake will be sent to the Olympic committee by William' T. Tilden, singles champion, who announced he would not play In Paris because of the rule passed by the committee against literary athletes. Tilden contends that he has a contract which forces him to turn out two stories a week and that he can’t go to Paris with the Olympic team if he is not allowed to write. If Tilden and Ricflards feel they are bound to write and if Bill Johnston decides that he cannot leave his business, the American team will have to depend upon Dick Williams, Frank Hunter and some youngsters. If Tilden really wants to go, the rule passed by the Olympic committee would not prevent him from playing and writing. He would not have to write about Olympic tennis. He really would be under the Jurisidiction of the Olympic committee for’ less than a week and *he wSuld not have to write anything In that one week. N. A. G. U. Girls Win The Normal A. G.

One of the teams mentioned perhaps more than any other high school five when chances for the State title are discussed is the Anderson squad of Coach Staggs. The team has come so close before to the Hoosier championship that many fans are inclined to think that perhaps Fate will forget to frown and smile instead upon the Anderson lads. There is no disputing the fact that Anderson has one of the State's best teams as shown by the season's record. The Staggsmen have a hard row to hoe, however, as the final tourney at the Coliseum. Their very first game on the schedule Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock is with the strong Bedford five. More strong competition looms ahead if they win their first encounter.
