SEVEN TEAMS UNBEATEN AS SECOND DAY OF SECTIONAL PLAY BEGINS

Shortridge Drops Technical in Hard I t Fought Contest—Manual Is Still in Running.

By DICK MILLER Seven of the sixteen high school teams that faced the starter’s gun Friday morning were left in the race today for the championship of the local sectional tourney that w 11 end at the Exposition building at the State Fairground tonight. Nine teams, including Tech of Indianapolis, were crushed Friday and with packed bags trudged back to their gymnasiums forced to wait for another chance in 1926. Shortridge, by winning the flrnt game of the second round l from Tech Friday night entered the semi-finals and at 2 p. m. today they will meet Ben Davis. Manual defeated Broad Ripple at lfi a. m. and West Newton won frcm New Augusta at 11 a. m. The winners of these two games, respectively. wiU form the other semi-final pair In the 3 p. m. game. The winKers In the semi-finals meet at 8 p. >. for the title of this sectional and ie right to joijmey to Anderson next Saturday for the regional conflict. * # After watching the performances of the teams in their first round games Friday, it would seem that Ben Davis, Manual and West Newton have the best chances for victories this morning. Dopesters are picking Manual and Shortridge to tangle in the final battle tonight, but from the performances of New Augusta and Ben Davis in their first games the cld dope bucket might get an awful ticking. "It’s a case of Jook out so anything." Tech Downed Shortridge rose to its heights to down Technical after trailing them 10 to 9, at half time and emerged a victor, 22 to 18. Wehrel tossed a foul for Tech and the East siders ran the score up to seven before the North Biders were able to count their first point on a foul goal by Sayce when Babcock fouled him. Foul goals by Spaulding and Christopher and a field goal by Sayce ran it up to five, but Clift sank two foul shots and Shortridge called time out. Spaulding tossed a. field marker and Christopher sank two from the foul line to carry the Blue and White to nine and tie the score. Clift had made two additional fotjl goals justbefore. Sayce fouled Wehrel and he fnk the try that gave the Green Id White a one point margin as e gun cracked for the half.

OPEN UP Sayee sank two field goals and Spaulding a foul goal to send the Shortrldge score to 14 soon after the second half opened- Clift sank a long one. Clift fouled Sayce, who tossed It, and the blue and white, through great work on the part of Christopher and Spaulding, soon boosted the socre to 22. Tech played hard and a field and foul goal by Clift and two foul points by Blunt and Babcock boosted their total to It, but the fighting blue was not to be denied and they stalled for time. The gun cracked and the first Indianapolis entry was eliminated by on* of the other local schools. Ben Davis trimmed Castleton handily 42 to 16 In the first afternoon game Friday and Manual made a late spurt to down Oaklandon, 37 to 19. Higgs and Martin carried the Manual brunt. Broad Ripple pulled a surprise party on Southport and the confident suburbanites fell to the wayside before the fourth Indianapolis high school, 17 to 15. In the last game of the afterno'-n West Newton likewise pulled a late rally to down Beech Grove, 25 to 21. In the last game of the first round Friday n'ght Marc.m of NoV Augusta s. owed goon basket shooting ability aid his team to smother New WEST NEWTON In the third morning game West Newton put New Bethel out of the running in a hard game. The score was 29 to 27. The score was tied several time* during the game and the result was in doubt up until the final seconds. Line-ups and summary: Close One W. Newton (29). N. Augusta (27). It.

KENTUCKY DERBY HAS COLORFUL LIST OF ENTRIES FOR ANNUAL TURF CLASSIC

Tourney Side Lights By DICK MILLER Tourney Firsts First tip off. Butler of Lawrence. First foul committed, Babcock of Tech. First field goal, Babcock of Tech. First foul goal, Wehrel of Tech. First substitution, Bragdon for Hartman of Lawrence. First time out, Lawrence. First man disqualified on personal fouls, Clift of Tech. And last but not least, folks, in spite of all the colors, noise making devices and other things that go with a tourney, the first knickers were not sighted until late Friday when three girls clad in the full sport outfit were seen watching the Southport-West Newton game apparently without enthusiasm. What a surprise. Indianapolis fans who have been watching tourneys for yearn were somewhat amazed w hen they watched the nonchalant ways of the members of the Shortridge team. It seems as if an explosion might attract maybe a glance from tliem. If confidence means anything they are sure winners of the State title. IF ANY SMALL DETAIL WAS OVERLOOKED TOWARD MAKING THE TOURNEY A SUCCESS, THEN CLOSE SCRUTINY FAILED TO REVEAL IT. WE EXTEND YOU OUR HEARTIEST CONGRATULATIONS, COMMITTEE IN CHARGE.

Not many more people could have been seated than were at the Short? ridge-Tech game Friday , night. Many seats were unoccupied right behind the framework of the basket supports. This will be eliminated, according to Von Ammerman, in charge of the construction, when the baskets are suspended from the roof for the finals. There were about 10,000 persons at night games. Those who saw the Valley Mills team in action last year and saw the team representing that school this yea- were rather disappointed when that team from the Volley trotted on the floor. The team was lacking in size of past years, and then, too, there was no Stewart In the line-up. Shortrldge fans who were anxious to see the stain of the defeat handed the North Siders last year by the suburban squad wiped out failed to get very much kick out of the 35 to 9 victory. Warren Central, who won the recent Marion County tourney, sent in some bear stories Thursday that vaccinations had wrecked the teams chances for a sectional tourney victory. Three of the boys played with large bandages on their left arms but the team seems far from “wrecked,” especially since the score book shows Llmhach cun shoot baskets in his old form. He counted five field goals and three fouls, and helped materially in the 26 to 17 \ victory over Acton. Basket Ball Results COLLEGES Illinois, 37; Purdue, 27. Denison, 41; Wittenberg, 33.

Outfielder Lloyd Chrlstsnbury has deserted the Tribe hold out brigade, and will report at training camp Sunday, it was announced today by Owner Smith. Pitcher Bob Steele, southpaw veteran who has been pitching outlaw ball several seasons, Joined the Indians here Friday. He appears to be carrying excess weight. Outfielders Allen and Clark continue on the hold-out list and the Indians may be forced to seek new garden talent. Allen is a golf instructor at Deland, Fla.; he threatens to stay away from baseball this year. Smith boosted Allen’s salary once and does not feel strong enough financially to go higher In view of the fact the player showed a bad batting weakness In the closing weeks of the 1924 season. Smith gave up $5,000 for Sumpter Clarke and offered him more money than he received at Cleveland, yet the outfielder is balking. More Dates Two more dates today were added to the Tribe’s spring exhibition program. Buffalo of the International League will be played at Palmetto March 21 and In Plant City on March 23.

The Tribesmen today were to wind up their first weik of practice, and starting Monday Manager Bush will bear down hard on the pitchers In order to be ready for the opening exhibition with Cleveland on March 13. The first week’s work did not show much progress, other than to get th* athletes loosened up. Three of the five days were cold and Bush thought it wise not to demand much.
