Plans for the meets reached final stages today while all looked forward to the biggest basketball fest of the season in sixty-four sectional meets. It is a time for contemplation and the students can not be blamed for dreaming dreams and building castles in the air. Pretourney dope Is part of the enjoy-ment-expectation lull of \ the pleasure. All of the local schools held pep sessions today and every rooter thlnuks his team Is going to win. Some will be disappointed, but, at that, the Indianapolis tourney is far from being won by any team —yet. All appear to have a fighting chance. Competition is the life of trade and basketball tournaments. Nothing startling like mumps or smallpox bobbed up locally to ruin any IndianopoHs chib’s chances and the last word is that the players are ready for the whistle. The Exposition building with its rows and rows of bleachers is pre-

WABASH FIVE FLASHES TO ANOTHER TRIUMPH Benny Devol and ‘Red’ Robinson Lead Scarlet Drive on' Butler —Three Out on Fouls. Bv Times Bvecial „CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., March s.—Ferocious and thirsting for victory blood a pack of thoroughly aroused Butler bulldogs swept into the lairs of the Little Giants Wednesday night, intent upon wiping out the sting of a defeat suffered on their own battle grounds earlier in the season.
An hour later, baffled, beaten, but still full of fight, they were In full retreat, the scoreboard" of the wall reading Wabash 35, Biitler 31, which Just about represented the relative strength of the two basketball teams, as the game was played. Both teams were keyed to the highest pitch. The fast pace set resulted In numerous fouls, Cfhrlstopher and Colway of Butler and Chadwick, the elongated Little Giant center, going out on personals. However, there was almost no roughness. I'phi 11 Fight Butler made a determined uphill fight, going Into the second half on the short end of a 17-12 score, and slowly cut the Wabash lead to one point on two occasions. Outscored from the floor, with Griggs flashing In his old-time form. Red Robinson kqpt the Scarlet in the running with four perfect foul throws. Two seconds after the tip-off Burdette had scored the first field goal for Wabash arid this was followed immediately by another by Devol. As far as the ultimate outcome was concerned the game might as well have ended right here, for these four points marked the final marglnf of the Wabash victory. Free Throws Inaccurate Inability to make foul goals, which was to cost Butler the game, became apparent early when Nipper missed three out of his first four free throws. Butler scored eleven field goals to ten for Wabash, but were only able to cage nine out of sixteen free throws, while the Little Giants made fifteen out of twenty-two. The break of the game came when Keach had a chance to tie and missed a foul throw, and ' Griggs failed on an easy, uncovered shot under the basket. Wabash then rallied and two field goals by Burdette again opened the gap. A Stern Chase Again Butler took up the stern chase but little Benny De Vol suddenly became imbued with the Idea that he was a combination of greased lightning, a Kansas cyclone, a Speedway race car and Davey Crockett. Before the De Vol volcano had ceased to erupt Benny had scored three field goals and three fouls and the score was 35 to 25.

CHOICE IS LEFT FOR DEMPSEY N. Y. Commission Plans to Let Champ Decide on Wills or Gibbons. By HENRY L. FARRELL, United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, March 6.—After failing to agree on the proper course to follow in deciding the next opponents for Jack Dempsey in the world's # heavyweight champion fight, the New York boxing commission will put it up to the champion to make his choice of the challenges filed by Tom Gibbons and Harry Wills, it was learned today. Some time ago the commission decided to suggest that Gibbons and Wills meet to decide the logical challenger for the title. When the plans wore all about set James A. Farley, one of the commissioners, tilted and said he was in favor of Wills or no one and the commission lias been trying to compromise ever since. Some action is to be taken at the meeting of the commission Friday. The challenges filed by Gibbons and Wills are to be dropped upon the table and the commission will have to find a way out of what Is admittedly a tight place. If the reported plans are carried out, the commission will slip out of the hole and Dempsey will be squeezed in. “If Dempsey should happen to choose Gibbons, I know there will be a howl from Wills," Eddie Kane, manager of Gibbons, said today. Kane received a telegram last night from A. E. Santweir, Los Angeles promoter, who has been trying to arrange a Dempsey-Gibbons bout. Kane told him recently that he would sign as soon as he got Dempsey’s signature. Santweir wired him that Dempsey said he would not be able to get Into shape to defend his title until September.
