mT finally looks as though It has happened. Several threats have been made In the past to take the final high school basketball tournament away from Indianapolis. The plans worked out In a meeting of the I. H. S. A. A. board of control on Saturday will do away with the big meet that In recent years hus been held at the State fairground In March. Although this city will hate to lose the tournament, there is no denying the fact the H. S. board has listed many good reasons for its action. The State board of agriculture boosted the rent this year on the Exposition building at the fairground to $3,000, plus all other expenses, sucii as light, heat, etc. There are many big gyms around the State, and with four additional semi-final tourneys, probably as many people will see the games as attended here when It was all In one big net carnival. But the biggest argument in favor of the new Idea is that It will do away with the physical grind of the two days’ play. Whatever may be said against taking the tourney away from this city can deny that if the strain U the players has been lessened, the board has done something worth while. It is a misfortune Indianapolis does not have a real high school gym. If the city had a structure worthy of the name it would have an opportunity to stage the final battles. The capital of this basketball State is one of the most backward in providing facilities for the greatest Hoosier sport. Maybe, now, some will begin to realize it. • * e INK hears a lot about Intolerance these days. It Is a favorite expression, but did you ever hear it used in reference to sport? It applies to athletics as well as anything else. Why Is It that we must go to extremes on all questions? Why not strike a middle ground somewhere? The opponents of college football will not be satisfied unless the game Is abolished. The opponents of professional football would wipe it off the sport map. Even Major Griffith, Big Ten athletic commissioner, gets a bit excited while talking about the menace of the pro game and predicts that golf or polo will take football’s place if the grid sport becomes commercialized. There seems to be a place for collegiate sport, although it be modified a bit. It may given too much prominence in some schools. But there Is also a place for the professional. Let’s be sensible and think straight. Very seldom Is anything all bad or all good. Only In the movies are villians absolutely wicked and the hero and heroine the embodiments of every virtue. So on the sport stage even the referee may be right some times and the college football hero may have his faults. Just be calm, folks. Don’t let your own likes and dislikes warp your Judgment. There is something to say on both sides—always. It is so easy to be intolerant in the realm of sports, • * • mNDIANA is over-run with good high school basketball centers. Any direction in which one looks there looms a youth of above the ordinary ability who stands in the little ring in the middle of the court as the. game starts. And In spite of all this great array of pivot men, in our mind, there is one out-standing star right at this time. The youth’s name is Whitaker of Martinsville. The Artesian City center is playing the best ball of his career—no doubt about it. He seems to be In superb physKloal condition and Is displaying -around ability hard to beat. He ly not be as sensational a shot as some others, but is always In the fray around the basket battling for close-in shots. Under his own basket he is a bear on defense. That’s what makes him good. He is all over the floor and seems untiring in his effoi-ts both on attack and defense. This seems quite a little praise for any one player but the big boy deserves It. •* * • SHE Missouri Valley Cos reference la stepping out. Football in that section of the land has improved steadily in the past years and now basketball Is forging to the front. When a club beats Butler, 30 to 20, even if it is the third game In three nights for the Pagemen, that team is traveling. That’s what St. Louis University did Saturday. On the same night Drake defeated Illinois, 20 to 16. The Hoosier college netters had better be watching their step when Missouri U. comes through this State during the holidays. The Show-Me boys will appear here against Butler on Dec. 29. Missouri won six and lost ten games last season in the Valley Conference. I This is vacation time for tha college and high school students —that is, if they don’t happen to be basketball players. • • • I, „ Central States bowling I tourney proved to be a kind I * I Santa Claus for the Century Alley five of this city. The squad finished sixth in the meet to draw down $lB5 In prize money. Hueber and C. Schott tied for first in the doubles. The deadlock has not been decided as yet. First place is worth $235. The local pair decided not to go to Cleveland for a roll-off. Hueber also gets S3O for third place in the all-eventa.

INDIANAPOLIS MAY LOSE FINAL H. S. BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT

FEATURE BOUT IS PLANNED Wiggins and Risko in Main Go Here New Year’s— Other Scraps. Steve Harter, Washington A. C. matchmaker, has decided to put on an all-star fistic card at Tomlinson Hall New Year’s afternoon and he will have John Risko, youthful Cleveland mauler, here to meet Chuck Wiggins in the main go of ten rounds. Risko is the heavyweight who gave Wiggins a terrific fight some time ago, the outcome resulting In a difference of opinion. Previous to that the rivals met at Ft. Harrison and Risko was disqualified for trying to get away with a claim of foul. In the second clash the fans were treated to a great exhibition, Risko leading in the early rounds and Wiggins leading in the closing sessions. Risko is a heavyweight and has plenty of weight advantage over Chuck, but the local scrappei thinks he will be able to outpoint the Clevelander. Risko has promised Promoter Harter that he will come here in top shape New Year’s and try for a knockout over the Indianapolis light heavy. Brett Wagoner, Petersburg coal miner, will appear on the New Year’s card here against Young Babe Ruth of Louisville. Ruth flattened Wagoner in one round some time ago and the scrap here probably will be a thriller. It will be a six-round affair. Louie Epstein, Indianapolis, and Jimmy Stewart, Louisville, will step four rounds in a return engagement. There was a difference of opinion over the verdict in their last meeting. Harter Is arranging other feature matches and his card will call for a total of thirty-eight rounds. Owing to much expense in lining up the various bouts, the prices New Year’s afternoon will be sl, $2 and $3. ON THE WAY Alabama Westward Bound for Coast Grid Games.

I URING his three years of oompetil| I I tion at Michigan, Dehart Hubbard, |JL/ ; sensational colored star was one t- 1 of the most consistent winner* the Maize and Blue ever had. Hubbard turned in countless stellar performances. His specialties were the running broad jump and high hurdles. Later he quit the barrier event for the ‘hundred." , . . Most of his fame was gained as a broad Jumper, however. Asa freshman he sprang into the limelight through his leaping ability. He cleared over 24 feet indoors on one of his first efforts as a collegian. Outdoors he topped the 25-foot figure. . For three years as a varsity performer Hubbard endeavored to smash the broad Jump mark. He cleared 25 feet more times than any other athlete in history. He met defeat Just once Dowding of Georgetown turning the trick last spring. Hubbard had one outstanding fault. It was his inability to hit the take-off properly. Time and again his jumps were noi allowed, owing to fouls of that nature. I saw Hubbard make two leaps of more than 25 feet during the Rig Ten classic at Columbus last June, only to have them thrown out because of faulty take-ons. Had he not outclassed the field by a wide margin the slips might have cost him a victory. Hubbard participated in his final meet as a college athlete in the National Colleglates at Chicago last summer. And after many unsuccessful attempts, it appeared that Legendre's record-breaking mark of 26 feet. 0 15-16 inches, made in the 1924 Olympics, would not be shattered while Hubbard was in school. But the ebonyhue and star wound up hi* collegiate career like a fiction hero. For on his very last Jump as a Michigan athlete he hung up a new record, leaping 26 feet. 10% Inches. And in so doing. Hubbard realized one of his greatest ambitions. STATE HUE MEET Only three matches will be played in the State three-cushion billiard tourney at Cooler’s this week because of Christmas.

Shortridge was nosed out at Elwood, 25 to 24, but didn't know It until after the game was over and a field goal awarded to Elwood that had not been counted previously. Confusion came up when the referee did not hear the timer’s whistle because of the din raised by the rooters. Holt of Shortridge played while Elwood' made two goals althought he should have been out of the contest on four personal fouls. The official allowed only one of the goals at the time, but later reversed the ruling. Broad Ripple went to Knightstown and was defeated, 50 to 30.

Eight Regional Meets, Four SemiFinals and Finals in School Gyms New Plan of Board. Bv United Press ANDERSON, Tnd., Dec. 21.—The possibility of abolishing the State high school championship finals in Indianapolis and substituting a widely different plan was expressed today by A. L. Treste-r, permanent secretary of the Indiana High School Athletic Association.

Trester made his announcement in a bulletin issued by the association today following a closed session of the board of control Saturday. Under the proposed plan eighit regional meets would be played as last year.- The week following the reglonals four semi-finals tournaments would bo played by the regional winners and the week following a three-game finals would determine the championship.’ All of these meets would be played in the large high school gymnasiums of che State. It was pointed out that there are four high school gymnasiums in the State with a seating capacity in excess of 5,000. Reasons for Change In discussing the reasons for the proposed changes, Trester said that the increasing cost of staging the tournament in Indianapolis, the fact that more people would benefit by ti e proposed plan, and the desire of the board to reduce the price of admission tickets made some change necessary. The six outstanding advantage* of the plans wore Hated by Trester as: the distribution of more than 812.000 to the schools of the State instead of expending that *um in overhead In Indianapolis: the decentralization of tournaments with subsequent benefits to communities having gymnasiums: the elimination of many of the objectionable features of the strenuous physical grind of the finals; the savBILL’S TEAM Ingram Decides on Line-up for All-Star Outfit.

tag of school time and serving of better school procedure: the extension of the opportunity for many persons to see the games and the placing of the tournaments in the reach of more boys and girls by not forcing them to make long trips. Too Much Overhead “The overhead, compared with that at Indianapolis, would be insignificant,” Trester said, “ahd more people would be served and satisflod. "Last year the tournament re ceipts were $25,528 and the expenditures were $16,049.60. The cost of the court and bleachers, with salvage deducted, was $7,349.84. The rental was $2,000, plus light, heat, gas and water. This year the rental asked is $3,000, with the same extra charges, making a total rental in excess of $4,000. "It has been estimated that the overhead this year would be between HI.OOO and $12,000, plus the expenses of the teams. The board does not desire to raise admission prices, but hopes to lower them.” ANDY SMITH IS BETTER California Coach, Stricken With Pneumonia, Resting Easier.

TENNIS PLAYERS IN ROW Stars Engage In Unsanctioned Charity Meet —May " Call for Showdown. Bv United Press NEW YORK, Deo. 21.— Another row between the players and officials of the United States Lawn Tennis Association may result if the officials try to discipline any faction of Insurgents for failure to obey a minor rule. Bill Tilden, Vlnnie Richard*. Frank Hunter, Dr. George King, Mrs. Molla Mallory and Miss Mary K. Browne made themselves subject to discipline by playing in a set of exhibition matches for tho benefit of the New York Christmas fund. The association refused to sanction the matches and the players decided to turn rebel and played anyway. At a meeting of the advisory committee Tuesday and at the annual national meeting next month, the association will have to decide what is to be done about it. A mild course suggested by some of the less militant officials was to let the players off with a reprimand. Some of the players Involved, it was learned today, are not in the mood to accept even a warning as they feel they did not violate tho letter or the spirit of any rule in giving their services to a fund to provide some little Christmas cheer to the poor. The players may demand a showdown against the principle of the rule.
